Can you special summon twice a turn?

The answer to this question is yes, you can Special Summon multiple times in a turn, as there is no limit to the number of Special Summons you can perform, provided you have the necessary cards and resources to do so. This is because Special Summons do not use up your one Normal Summon for the turn, and can be conducted as many times as possible in a turn, unless restricted by a card effect or game rule.
