Does Solemn Judgment Work on Jinzo?

Solemn Judgment can negate the Summon of Jinzo, as it prevents the activation of Trap Cards before Jinzo‘s effect takes place, allowing players to counter Jinzo‘s ability to negate Trap Cards. This makes Solemn Judgment a valuable tool in countering Jinzo‘s effect, as Jinzo is technically not on the field yet when Solemn Judgment is activated, meaning its effect isn’t in place to prevent the negation of its Summon.
