1. Penetrate happens when the center monster is destroyed. think of it like a spectral strike but only on center monster.

2. A monster with soulguard still considered as 'destroyed', thus penetrate still applies. Soulguard only prevent it from leaving the field, doesn't prevent it to get destroyed. if you watch the anime, Drum was destroyed many times, then still stays in the field due to soulguard

3. I think you meant Bloody King? Bloody Moon is a Darkness Dragon World card. The answer is yes. for cost, you need to pay exact amount. for effect, you do as much as you possibly can.

4. Obviously, you show what card you put into your hand. otherwise anyone can cheat and put non-hero card or hero monster.

5. Yes, Lifelink dmg still taken. since lifelink triggers when that monster Leaves the field. be it replaced, destroyed, returned to hand, etc.

6. Nope, since El Quixote effect triggers when you deal damage. so even if you hit, but deal 0 damage, the effect will consider you as dealing no damage.

7. Yes, because those effect happens when you link attacks. it doesn't matter if either one is destroyed....you've declared link attack, then the effect kicks in at that very moment. (example is arthur linking atk with another hero (say Merlin), then opponent counter with magical goodbye to Merlin. Resolve: merlin goes to hand, and you still gain 1 gauge and arthur keep the penetrate, since those effects kicks in when link attack)

Hope these clears things up :D
