Doomkaiser Dragon Edison Ruling

Hi all! I post this question here since the visibility on the main menu post is limited.
I usually playe Edison Format, and I loved playing Zombie-themed deck (even if meme deck). In particular, my question revolves around Doomkaiser dragon, which when it's special summoned it summons a Zombie type monster from the enemy graveyard, but this monster is destroyed whenever doomkaiser dragon leaves the field. According to format library (here the link: https://www.formatlibrary.com/cards/doomkaiser-dragon ), if Book of Moon is chained the monster will still be summoned, and its "link" to Doomkaiser vanish.
Now, if I summon doomkaiser dragon and its effect triggers, but the enemy activates for example Bottomless trap hole, will the monster that would be summoned by Doomkaiser be summoned? And if will it be, will it be destroyed immediatly?
Thank you all in advance

I'll post here the answer I got in the "Format Library" discord server.

Actually it works like Gladiator Beast Darius. When it is summoned, the effect activates, then the enemy can activate Bottomless Trap hole. In this case DKD is CL1, and BTH is CL2, so it resolves backwards: DKD is removed then banished, then the monster is reborn from enemy GY, but since DKD isn't on the field it cannot leave it to trigger the destruction of the monster just summoned this way.

Also, after this chain risolves, you can activate evetually "Trap of the imperial tomb" since the last thing that happened is the special summoning of the monster fron enemy GY.

What is DKD, "Trap of the imperial tomb"; and how you co-linked with Doomkaiser dragon and Gladiator Beast Darius?

-DKD: Doomkaiser Dragon
-Trap of the imperial tomb is a trap card that says: "When a Zombie monster(s) is Special Summoned from your opponent's GY to your field: Target 2 cards on the field; destroy them."
-A Judge on Format Libray Discord noticed a similarity between GB Darius and DKD. Both of them special summon a monster when their specific summon requirement is fulfilled and the monsters summoned this way are removed from the field when DKD of Darius are removed too. According to this, the same ruling on what happens to the monster summoned by their effect should be applied in the same way.
