There is no effect from this Special during the Battle in which it is played. However when the Special is played, the player must choose a hero that is KO'd at that time that will be returned to play for the next Battle. The KO'd character returns before the Draw Phase. During that Battle's discard phase, any cards playable by that character do not have to be discarded. If the player already has three front-line Characters, then he will play this Battle with four front line Characters. The "resurrected" Character can act just as if he had no hits on his "permanent record", but may still be KO'd during the Battle by a Spectrum KO or Cumulative KO. Any Specials which were in play on the Character that would affect the Character for the game (such as an EK Special), would no longer be in effect. At the end of the Battle, regardless of what damage the resurrected Character has or has not taken, the Character is automatically KO'd, and placed in the defeated Character pile. If the case arises that the Character playing the Special is the last Character on your team and this Special is played and later in that same battle, the Character is KO'd, then the current Battle would end and the winner of the Battle would be resolved. The selected resurrected Character would come into play next Battle. If this resurrected Character can manage to knock out all the opponent's existing Characters or win the battle through Venture, then you would win. A CK Special cannot be used to resurrect the Character who used the Special.
Meta Rules
Meta #53 Specials with lasting effects remain in play even if the Character who played the Special is K.O.'d.
Meta #73 Specials which have a lasting duration remain in play and on the table. The Special card should be positioned next to the Character in a manner in which it is obvious that it is not Placed.
Meta #94 Specials which require a selection to be made for the next battle require that the selection be made immediately - at the time the Special is played. One may not hold off on a decision until the next battle.
Meta #95 Specials which affect how things occur in the next battle prior to the Battle phase (e.g., before placing begins in the next battle) can be negated in the battle in which they are played. Once the next battle begins (and the effect has already taken place) the Special is no longer in play (it is discarded to the Dead Pile) and cannot be negated. Specials which last longer than the placing phase can still be negated.
Meta #96 Characters resurrected via a Special are automatically K.O.'d after the end of the battle. Therefore, if such a resurrected Character is the last Character standing and that Character manages to K.O. the opposing team or complete the team's Mission then that player is the winner.
Meta #108 When a Special indicates a K.O.'d Character, it refers to any Character on the player's team which is K.O.'d at that moment. It does not include any Characters which are currently on the Front Line or in Reserve (even if that Character will definitely be K.O.'d at the end of the battle).
Meta #119 Characters which are brought back from a K.O.'d state come back without any of the cards that were Placed or in Play to them at the time that they were K.O.'d.
Meta #145 Specials that do not indicate their duration by their game text should be considered Game lasting duration if they are One Per Deck and Battle lasting duration if they are non-OPD. Specials with instant effects are instant duration regardless.
