"Relinquished"'s effect to equip itself with a monster can only be activated during your Main Phase 1 or 2 since it is a Ignition Effect.
If this card is flipped face-down/leaves the field before its effect to equip resolves, the target is sent to the GY.
A monster equipped to "Relinquished" occupies a Spell & Trap Zone of the controller of "Relinquished". So if you already have 5 Spell & Trap Cards on the field you cannot activate the effect of "Relinquished". Any Equip Spell Cards equipped to the selected monster are destroyed. "Relinquished" gains the ATK and DEF of the monster equipped to it, but not the effects of an Effect Monster.
If you already have 5 cards in your S/T zone, you cannot activate the effect to equip.
The selected monster is treated as a Monster Card when it is sent to the Graveyard, so the effects of "Sangan" or "Witch of the Black Forest" would activate, but the effect of "Mystic Tomato" would not, since it was not destroyed as a result of battle.
If "Sangan" is sent to the GY while equipped to this card, its effect will activate.
You can not voluntarily destroy a monster equipped to "Relinquished" but you can use "Mystical Space Typhoon" or "Emergency Provisions" to eliminate it.
You cannot target "Blindly Loyal Goblin" with this effect.
"Relinquished" will only inflict its effect damage to your opponent if "Relinquished" would be destroyed as a result of battle and the equipped Monster Card is destroyed instead. When this occurs you inflict damage to your opponent equal to the Battle Damage that the controller of "Relinquished" received; this is the ONLY time "Relinquished" will deal effect damage. (If "Relinquished", equipped with a 1800 ATK monster, attack a 3000 DEF Defense Position monster, "Relinquished's" controller takes 1200 damage but "Relinquished" does not inflict effect damage to the opponent.)
If Relinquihsed's effects become negated, the equipped monster is sent to the GY, and its ATK becomes 0.
You can activate "Barrel Behind the Door" against Trigger Effects like "Lava Golem", "Giant Germ", "Relinquished" (when it inflicts effect damage, since "Barrel Behind the Door" can be activated during the Damage Step because it is a Counter-Trap Card), "Minar" (when discarded), "Parasite Paracide" (when it inflicts effect damage), "Bowganian", "Mushroom Man #2", "Reflect Bounder" (when it is attacked), "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane" (when it attacks and destroys a Defense Position monster and sends it to the Graveyard), "Granadora" (when destroyed and sent to the Graveyard), "Balloon Lizard" (when destroyed), "KA-2 Des Scissors", "Needle Burrower", "Atomic Firefly", "Elephant Statue of Disaster", and "Ameba".
While the effect of "Timidity" is active, you cannot destroy a Set Monster Card equipped to this.
Your opponent cannot target your "Blindly Loyal Goblin" with the effect of "Relinquished" or "Thousand-Eyes Restrict".
Equipped Token monsters have 0 ATK/DEF, and are destroyed by Token Thanksgiving.
While "Gorgon's Eye" is active, if "Relinquished" equipped with a monster is in Defense Position, the effect of "Relinquished" is negated, it can no longer be equipped with a monster, and the Monster Card equipped to "Relinquished" is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard.
Damage is only inflicted if the the destruction is prevented.
If your opponent takes control of your monster with "Snatch Steal", etc., and you activate "Relinquished"'s effect on your next turn to equip the monster to "Relinquished", and your opponent chains "Remove Brainwashing" to "Relinquished"'s effect, control of the monster returns to you before "Relinquished"'s effect resolves and, since you cannot use "Relinquished"'s effect on monsters on your side of the field, "Relinquished"'s effect disappears.
If this card is flipped face-down/leaves the field before its effect to equip resolves, the target is not sent to the GY. If you already have 5 cards in your S/T zone, you cannot activate the effect to equip. If "Sangan" is sent to the GY while equipped to this card, its effect will activate. You cannot target "Blindly Loyal Goblin" with this effect. If Relinquihsed's effects become negated, the equipped monster is sent to the GY, and its ATK becomes 0. While the effect of "Timidity" is active, you cannot destroy a Set Monster Card equipped to this. Equipped Token monsters have 0 ATK/DEF, and are destroyed by Token Thanksgiving. Damage is only inflicted if the the destruction is prevented.
Monsters equipped to "Relinquished" while "Skill Drain" is active are negated and destroyed because "Relinquished" no longer has an effect that allows it to be equipped with a monster, and "Relinquished"'s ATK and DEF are returned to normal.
While the effect of "Timidity" is active, you cannot destroy a face-down Monster Card equipped to "Relinquished".
"Token Thanksgiving" will destroy a Monster Token equipped to "Relinquished".
"Relinquished" may equip itself with one monster at a time per turn.
"Relinquished's" equipping effect is a targeting effect.
A face-down card equipped to "Relinquished"/"Thousand-Eyes Restrict" is a legal target for "Nobleman of Extermination." Curtis Schultz, 03/09/2005
A face-down card equipped to "Relinquished"/"Thousand-Eyes Restrict" will be returned to its owner's hand by "Byser Shock's" effect. Curtis Schultz, 03/09/2005
"Relinquished" inflicts effect damage to your opponent whenever you take battle damage from a battle involving "Relinquished", if it is equipped with a monster. This can occur when “Relinquished” battles another Attack Position Monster, or when it attacks a Defense Position monster with DEF higher than its current ATK.
