1 official ruling from Bandai, last ruled Mar 28, 2024. Straight answers to how this card actually resolves.

When this card was played, an already activated DP-reducing effect reduced this card's DP to 0 and deleted it. In such cases, can I activate the <On Play> effect by considering the "By deleting this Digimon" condition to be fulfilled?
No, you can't. If its DP is reduced to 0 and it is deleted when played, you can't activate the <On Play> effect. Also, the "By deleting this Digimon" condition is not fulfilled when this Digimon is deleted by another effect or rule.
