If it doesn't specify, then it will be from the hand only. For example, Judgment Dragon can only be special summoned from hand - if it is in the graveyard you can't special summon it from there even if the condition is met.
No. This card cannot be Set, or Summoned in or changed to Defense Position.
Yeah. There's just two kinds of monsters you need to look out for; 1 - Monsters that say "Can only be special summoned by..." These monsters have to be summoned properly by their own effects first, if you wish to use Monster Reborn on them. You can't just discard them and use Monster Reborn. 2 - Monsters that say "Cannot be special summoned except by.." The only way (barring a few highly specialised circumstances) these can ever reach the field, is by following their own text. They cannot be special summoned from the graveyard by Monster Reborn, even if they were properly summoned first.
Normally, yes, Fusion Monsters can be Special Summoned from the graveyard, if they were properly Summoned first. That usually means by Fusion Summon, or if they are a special one that don't actually use Fusion Summon (Gyzarus, Neospacian Fusions, etc) then these are considered properly summoned if you follow the card text.A Fusion Monster is not considered properly summoned if the summon was negated, or it reached the field in other ways. For example, Cyber Stein 'special summons' a Fusion Monster, but does not Fusion Summon it. That monster would be unable to be revived from the graveyard when it dies.Lastly, some say "cannot be special summoned except by" and the except by bit means that's the only way they can ever be special summoned, so monsters like this (Dark Paladin, etc) may not be special summoned from the graveyard even if it was properly Fusion Summoned initially.
Initially, Chaos Sorcerer must be special summoned from hand by following the text on the card. It cannot be special summoned from hand though by any other effect, like that of A Hero Emerges - it can only summon itself using its own method.
You can only special summon it initially from hand, by removing a Light and a Dark monster from your graveyard (now known as Banishing). If you do this, and it is later destroyed, then you cannot summon it from the graveyard with the same method, as it only works in hand. But as a 'special summon only' monster, you can bring it back with cards like Monster Reborn. (unlike 'cannot be special summoned except by' monsters, who cannot).
No, and it quite clearly says on the card that it cannot be Special Summoned. That counts for anywhere.
"The Rock Spirit" can only be Special Summoned from the Graveyard, if it was Special Summoned from the Hand via its effect first. In other words, if it was "improperly" sent to the Graveyard, such as by discarding from the Hand, it cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard. If it was successfully Special Summoned by its own effect onto the field and is then sent to the Graveyard, it is then elligible to be Special Summoned from the same Graveyard. However, if it's Special Summon was negated by a card effect such as "Solemn Judgment" and sent to the Graveyard, it cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard.
um, yeah... all monster can be normal summoned, flip summoned, special summoned etc unless specified otherwise. eg, ancient gear golem says "this card cannot be special summoned".
Yes. It is a 'can only be special summoned by' monster, which can be brought back as long as it was properly special summoned originally. It is monsters who say "cannot be special summoned except by.." that cannot ever be brought back with cards like Monster Reborn.
No, only from your hand. They can be special summoned from graveyard by cards like Monster Reborn if they were properly summoned initially before they went there. However you can't resummon them from the graveyard with their Ritual Spell Card.
Neos Wiseman is a 'cannot be special summoned except by' monster. That means his listed summon text is the only way he can ever be summoned, and can only do it while he is in your hand. You are unable to discard him then use Monster Reborn. Also even if he is properly special summoned first, he still can't be special summoned by Monster Reborn, unlike monsters who say 'can only be special summoned by'.
Flame Ogre cannot be special summoned, so Flame Ogre must be Normal Summoned - or Set, then Flip Summoned.
If a monster clearly says "This card cannot be special summoned" then no, of course not. If it says you can't do it, then you can't do it.
No. This card cannot be Set, or Summoned in or changed to Defense Position.
No, a monster cannot manually change battle position on the turn it was special summoned, though it can be changed by an effect.
Destiny Hero Dogma cannot be special summoned, except from in hand, by tributing three monsters. As an 'except by' monster, that means the listed method is the only way he can ever be summoned. He cannot be summoned by any other means, even if he was properly summoned first and then went to the graveyard.
