Questions about Koa'ki with Power of Guardians

[Alaskacow]

Im trying to run Power of guardians with koa'ki to protect them from destroy itself at the end turn but turn out its cant protect them. they still destroy itself anyway. soooo isnt that weird cuz the card said if the equipped monster would be destroyed by card effect. didnt koaki destroy themself consider a card effect?. BTW Im really new player so please enlighten me. Thank!!

Power of the Guardians will protect the equipped monster AS LONG AS there is already a spell counter on it to remove, so say it's your first turn, you summon a Koa'ki and equip it with POG, that wouldn't be enough to protect it, it would need to actually attack, or be attacked and survive the attack to earn the spell counter.

So as long as there is a spell counter on the guardians card that should in theory be able to protect it.... I haven't tested this myself, but that's the first issue that springs to mind.

I know that, I did have a spell counter on POG equiped on my maximus but its destroy itself anyway..... T.T (At first I really think its a great idea cus Kaiba corp bling with Glossy Diamond core are really out of my reach)

No because his own destruction effect requires COST to keep him alive on the field. Power of the Guardians will only protect him from battle or other destruction effects: Man-Eater Bug, Dark Hole, Widespread Ruin, etc.

But its work with Archfiend Emporer. That why I think its weird when its work with emporer but not koa'ki

this is not an effect of koaki meiru monsters, its a maintenance cost (condition) to keep the monster on the field. even if the effects of the monster are negated, the condition cannot be negated.
