Yep!

You can't use it during special initiative, but there are very few cases where that would matter.

I thought u could use it from territory to negate a battle winning enhancement that had removed all your characters in battle.  I understand it's not happening in special initiative but it behaves the same way. I understood this to be a great way to get around a battle winning situation.  For instance If your opponent plays carried into exhile to capture one of your 2 heroes in battle and then plays Christian martyr to discard the other you could still use Gam Speech to negate carried into exhile to continue the battle.

I believe it cannot be played from hand during SI.

I may be wrong but that was my understanding.

I asked because DoU ends up discarding itself (since there is no EC in battle to "hold" it) and I couldn't remember if GS could negate it in the discard pile.

Gam's Speech cannot be used during special initiative whether from hand or territory because of the "place" then "discard to negate" functionality. In most situations it can be used immediately after special initiative to negate the card anyway, but in certain circumstances (Herod Agrippa 2 + a withdraw ability, etc.) it fizzles.

GS can negate last, which can negate regardless of where that enhancement went, so long as it was the last one your opponent played.

Browa and Drrek are correct.
