No, Ritual Monsters are 'special summon only' monsters, the only way they can initially reach the field is by Ritual Summon through an appropriate spell card, or by a card that specifically allows you to ignore this, like Ritual Foregone.

Can you summon 'Paladin of White Dragon' with 'Familiar Knight'?

No - Paladin of White Dragon is a Ritual Monster. It can only be initially summoned from hand by the appropriate Ritual Card, or anything that specifically allows the special summon of a Ritual Monster (Ritual Foregone). No other special summon effect is able to summon them from hand or deck, including things like Summoner Monk, A Hero Emerges, or Familiar Knight.

Can the Yu-Gi-Oh card Advanced Ritual Art summon any ritual monster?

Not all, but most. If you look at some Ritual Monsters, they say they can 'only' be special summoned by a specific card, others do not. So you are free to summon a Relinquished using either Black Illusion Ritual, or Contract with the Abyss, or Advanced Ritual Art, but you could not use any other card other than "Ritual of Grace" to summon "Divine Grace - Northwemko".

How do you summon relinquished?

Relinquished is Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Spell Card Black Illusion Ritual. It requires a monster as a Tribute to Special Summon Relinquished from your Hand. Once Relinquished is successfully Ritual Summoned, if it is sent to the Graveyard, it is eligible to be Special Summoned from it. You cannot Special Summon Relinquished from the Graveyard unless it was successfully Ritual Summoned first.

Can you special summon a ritual monster using an effect without using the ritual spell?

Only if the card specifically says it can summon a Ritual Monster, like Ritual Foregone. Otherwise, you can't do it, cards like A Hero Emerges, or Monster Gate, cannot special summon a Ritual Monster.Also if you summon the Ritual Monster properly, by Ritual Summon, and it is then sent to the graveyard for whatever reason, then you may bring it back to the field using cards like Monster Reborn. However you cannot simply discard a Ritual Monster from hand and try using Monster Reborn straight away, they are a form of special summon only monster, simply by being Ritual Monsters.

Can you special summon a Ritual Monster with Fulfillment of the Contract?

Obviously. Fulfillment of the Contract's effect is that you pay 800 lp and special summon a ritual monster from your graveyard, and when the equip card is destroyed, the ritual monsters destroyed. As usual with monsters who can't be Normal Summoned, the Ritual Monster must have properly been summoned first before you use Fulfillment of the Contract. You cannot simply discard a Ritual Monster and summon it with that card.


In Yu-Gi-Oh if your friend uses the effect of Mystic Tomato is he allowed to summon Relinquished?

No, because you cannot Special Summon Relinquished without the Ritual Spell Card "Black Illusion Ritual", since Relinquished is a Ritual Monster Card (That's why the Card is colored dark blue). But you can special Summon Relinquished from the graveyard with cards like Monster Reborn, Call of the Haunted etc., as long as it was properly Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Spell Card before. If not, you are unable to Special Summon him. Hope that was not too much information at once ;P


Can relinquished be special summoned from the graveyard?

Ritual monsters may only be special summoned from the graveyard if they were successfully summoned by Ritual Summon. If they were sent there in any other way - like simply discarded from hand, or improperly summoned by Ritual Foregone (it special summons but does not Ritual Summon), then you cannot revive them from the graveyard with cards like Monster Reborn or Fulfillment of the Contract.
