When the Ignition Effect of "Cannon Soldier" or "Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End" is activated, and you chain "Enemy Controller" to take control of the "Cannon Soldier"/"Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End", even if you take control of the monster, you cannot take control of the effect itself.

[FORUM] If the effect of "Enemy Controller" is used to take control of an opponent's 'Lightsworn' monster during the opponent's turn, the effect of that Monster will not activate while the opponent controls the 'Lightsworn' monster. When the opponent resolves the effect of "Enemy Controller", sending the 'Lightsworn' monster back, it will then meet its requirement and activate during that same End Phase.
