If a card special summons from the removed from game zone, it will say so. So DD Survivor is one example, it special summons itself from there.

Otherwise, with cards like Interdimensional Matter Transporter, or Future Visions, the monster is simply 'returned' to the field. This is not a summon of any kind, meaning 'cannot be special summoned' monsters are not crippled by it, nor can any summon-responsive cards like Torrential Tribute be used.

When can you special summon a monster?

When a card that says you can Special Summon a card, and specifies from where. For example: Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World, can Special Summon itself from the Graveyard during your Main Phase, by returning 1 face-up Dark World monster back to your hand. Or if it's a Synchro or Xyz Monster, then those monsters have to be Special Summoned by their own Summoning mechanic, in which read Synchro Summons, and Xyz Summons. There is no limit on how many times you can Special Summon, so if you have a lot of cards that can Special Summon a lot, go nuts.

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."

How does the Quick-play 'Inferno Reckless Summon' work?

Basically, when you special summon a monster with 1500 or less ATK with cards like marauding captain, call of the haunted, or monster reborn, you can activate this card when your opponent has a face-up monster to special summon all copies of that monster. Your opponent can special summon all copies of his monster too, but that's a rare chance IMO.


How do you special summon a yu-gi-oh?

A special summon is any summon that doesn't count as a normal summon, so you can special summon as many monsters as you wish per turn. But someone can't just special summon a monster by themselves. In order to special summon a monster, there must be a card that lets you do so. For example, the card Call of the Haunted lets you special summon a monster from your graveyard. Or, a monster that lets you special summon it in some way is a special summon. Most monsters that let you special summon it have you need to have destroy or remove from play cards. For example, a monster that needs you to remove from play cards is Dark Necrofear. Dark Necrofear can only be special summoned by removing three Fiend-type monsters from your graveyard. Or, there are monsters that can be special summoned when a condition is met. For example, Tragoedia can be special summoned when you take damage. Or, there are monsters that let you special summon monsters from your deck. An example is UFO Turtle. UFO Turtle can special summon any FIRE-attribute monster from your deck with 1500 ATK or less when it is destroyed by battle. Also, Fusion Summoning, Ritual Summoning, and Synchro Summoning all count as Special Summoning.


Can you special summon an Xyz monster from the graveyard if you have say 2 level 4 monsters on the field to special summon that Rank 4 Xyz monster?

No, unless specifically stated otherwise on the card, a monster's special summon requires it to be summoned from your hand, or in the case of Synchro and XYZ monsters, from the Extra Deck.Plaguespreader Zombie can special summon itself from the graveyard because it says it can. But you cannot use for example, the special summon requirements on Chaos Sorcerer, or an XYZ monster, while they are in the graveyard.
