This card's Summon does not start a chain, so "Thunder King Rai-Oh" can negate it.
If "D.D. Crow" is chained to the ②, the Token is still Summoned.
The effect that Special Summons a Token is a Trigger Effect that activates in the GY.
The effect of "Zeta Reticulant" to Special Summon itself from your hand has no effect type. Like "Cyber Dragon", it is merely a procedure to Special Summon.
If "Zeta Reticulant" activates in the GY, to Summon an "Eva Token", and "Disappear" is chained, so that "Zeta Reticulant" is no longer in the GY when its effect resolves, the "Eva Token" is still Summoned.
"Zeta Reticulant" will Summon an "Eva Token" even if your opponent's monster is removed from play face-down.
If your Monster Card Zones are full and your opponent's monster is removed from play, the effect of "Zeta Reticulant" activates but its effect is not applied.
