A "Special Summon" refers to a Summon that is performed through the effect of a card. Special Summoning is not a game mechanic, but more so a generalization of any method of Summoning that is not a Normal Summon, Flip Summon, or Set. Special Summons do not count towards the one Normal Summon/Set per turn rule and can be performed as many times as a player prefers in one turn.
There are three methods to Special Summoning (Note that a Special Summoned card that does not fall under any of the following categories, such as with the effect of Call of the Haunted, is merely considered a Special Summon):
- Fusion Summon - This Special Summon is performed upon the effect of Polymerization (unless otherwise indicated by the Fusion Monster). For more information regarding Fusion Summons, click on the corresponding "Related Link" below.
- Ritual Summon - This Special Summon is performed upon the effect of a Ritual Spell Card and its corresponding Ritual Monster. For more information regarding Ritual Summons, click on the corresponding "Related Link" below.
- Synchro Summon - This Special Summon is similar to a Contact Fusion and can only be performed with Tuner Monsters. For more information regarding Synchro Summons, click on the corresponding "Related Link" below.
- Exeed Summon - This Special summon is a new way to summon that people in Japan can already use. Exeed summoning is performed by placing two monsters with the same level on top of each other and then you can summon an Exeed monster with the same rank as one of the monsters level. EX: I place a level four monster like ax raider on another card with the same level like maurauding captain and I place the Exeed monster which is rank four on top of both cards.

In yugioh if you normal summon a monster then can you also special summon a monster still?
yes. in the official Yu-Gi-Oh! rulebook, it states that you can only normal summon once per turn, but you can special summon as many times as you can per turn.
In YuGiOh can a ritual monster be special summoned from the graveyard after using Ritual Foregone?
No, because it wasn't 'properly' special summoned. To be able to special summon a Ritual Monster from the graveyard, it has to be initially summoned by Ritual Summon. Ritual Foregone does not Ritual Summon.

In yugioh when you play a ritual card to summon a ritual monster do you HAVE to have the ritual monster in your hand in order to summon it or can you summon from your deck?
Yes, it does have to be in your hand.
What card card can you bring out any fusion monster without using polymerization for yugioh?
No one card can Special Summon any Fusion Monster. Because some Fusion Monsters specify that they "cannot be Special Summoned except by a Fusion Summon", cards like "Metamorphosis" will not be able to Special Summon them. Even "Instant Fusion" cannot Special Summon Fusion Monsters that state "This card can only be Special Summoned from your Extra Deck by returning the above cards you control to the Deck."

To anyone that's a yugioh card game player can the elemental hero fusions be brought back by the graveyard after being properly fusion summoned yes or no?
They cannot be special summoned EXCEPT by fusion summon, meaning even if you do summon one correctly, and it is destroyed, then you cannot resummon it from the graveyard.The Neospacian Fusions are an exception to this, as they are 'special summon only' which means if you follow their summon text and properly summon them, then you can later bring them back from the graveyard.
Is a special summon the same as a tribute summon?
No. A Tribute Summon is a kind of Normal Summon. Special Summons are just Special Summons even if the special summon requires some form of Tribute. That does not make it a Tribute Summon.
In yugioh can worm yagan special summon itself during the opponent's turn?
As this summon is on resolution of an Ignition Effect, Worm Yagan can only special summon itself in your own main phases. In general, only monsters with a Trigger (ie, ones that say 'when/if' something happens) can special summon themselves in the opponent's turn. So Gorz and Battle Fader can, and Pyramid Turtle can summon something in the opponent's turn too. However things like Dark Armed Dragon, or Plaguespreader Zombie, cannot.
Is fusion summon the same as special summon?
A Fusion Summon is a Special Summon and things that can be used against Special Summons can also be used against a Fusion Summon. But not all Special Summons are Fusion Summons, even if they do so happen to summon a Fusion Monster. For example, Cyber Stein Special Summons a fusion monster, it does not Fusion Summon it.
