When a Digimon card with the [Dark Animal]/[SoC] is trashed from my hand, can I use this card's inherited effect to digivolve into that card regardless of its digivolution requirements?
No, this card's effect does not allow ignoring digivolution requirements, so you can only digivolve into a card that meets the digivolution requirements.
