No, because the removed from play card from Different Dimension Capsule is face-down. Thus, it is unknown to be a monster, spell, or trap. Dimensional Alchemist specifically states that it has to be a removed from play monster card that goes back to your hand.
What do you think? Answer below!
If a monster is removed from play face-down – such as by the effect of “Different Dimension Capsule” – then it is unknown what type of card it is (Monster/Spell/Trap).
Dimensional Alchemist cannot bring it back for two reasons:
1) You couldn’t return a face-down card back, similarly how you couldn’t Special Summon a face-down D.D. Scout Plane back to the field.
2) You are unsure if it is a monster you would be returning, and Alchemist says you have to return a monster card.
