If this card's ＜On Play＞ ＜When Digivolving＞ effect is activated on an my opponent's [ST12-13]/[Sistermon Ciel], [BT6-084]/[Sistermon Ciel] or [BT7-083]/[Sistermon Ciel (Awakened)], what happens to that Digimon?
The name of the cards [ST12-13]/[Sistermon Ciel] and [BT6-084]/[Sistermon Ciel] is also treated as [Sistermon Noir], and the name of the card [BT7-083]/[Sistermon Ciel (Awakened)] is also treated as [Sistermon Noir (Awakened)], but this is a game rule and not an effect, so if this card's ＜On Play＞ ＜When Digivolving＞ effect is activated in one of those cards, its name will be changed to [Sukamon] and its name will no longer be treated as [Sistermon Noir] or [Sistermon Noir (Awakened)].

If this card's ＜On Play＞＜When Digivolving＞ effect activates on an opponent's Digimon with a "The name of this card/Digimon is also treated as [XX]" or "This Digimon is also treated as [another color]" effect, what happens to my opponent's Digimon?
The Digimon will be changed to a white Digimon with an original name of [Sukamon], but it does not lose the "also treated as" effect, so it is also treated as the name or color from that effect as well as a white [Sukamon].

There are "Sukamon" A and "Sukamon" B in the Battle Area, both of which have this card as their digivolution card. When "Sukamon" A was about to delete, it tried to delete "Scamon" B by the digivolved effect of this card. On the other hand, when "Sukamon" B is deleted, you tried to delete "Scamon" A by the digivolved effect of this card. In this case, can "Sukamon" A activate this card's digivolution effect again?
No, it cannot be activated. Until the first occurrence of the first process is resolved, all "interrupting and activating effects" can be activated only once each. In this situation, until the first "Sukamon" A deletion is resolved, each "When" effect can only be activated once, so "Sukamon" A that has already been activated cannot be activated again.

What happens to a card such as "EX1-005 Tyrannomon" that has been given card information by the effect of this card, but is changed to the original name "Sukamon", white, DP3000 by the effect of this card?
The information on the card obtained by the effect remains the same. For example, if the information on the original card EX1-005 Tyrannomon is changed, the original color will be white and the color will be white and green because the effect of EX1-005 Tyrannomon also treats it as green.

I have [Sukamon] A and [Sukamon] B with this card in their digivolution cards in the battle area. When [Sukamon] A would be deleted, I attempted to delete [Sukamon] B using this card's inherited effect. On the other hand, when [Sukamon] B would be deleted, I attempted to delete [Sukamon] A using this card's inherited effect. At such times, can [Sukamon] A activate this card's inherited effect again?
No, it can't be activated. Until the processing for the 1st activation has resolved, only 1 activation is possible for each immediate-type effect. In your case, until the deletion of the 1st only [Sukamon] A is resolved, only 1 activation is possible for each "when [...] would" effect, therefore the effect that has already activated for [Sukamon] A can't be activated again.
