You can't activate 2 Counters in one attack. You would have had to cast Restraint or GIZAI's effect beforehand.

Restraint can be cast at ANY time and the effect is applied when appropriate e.g. you can cast Restraint in the Main Phase and later in the Attack Phase use it to reduce a Critical Damage.

'Being Attacked' means when the card is targeted for an attack. "When Taking Damage" happens... when you take damage, which in the attack steps, takes place later then 'Being Attacked'. So yes, you can use both effects (As long as you used 1 of them beforehand).

As for the last statement, I meant, if you take any type of damage after casting Restraint, say effect damage, the protection is gone, hence the effective protection is gone too. Yeah, Items a bad example. My brain's distracted. Let's say Thunder Mine damage. That's why I said use GIZAI's effect first is better.
