koa'ki meiru cost effect?

Question

specifically thinking of the dragon but i think it applies to the rest too

if i use brain control can i choose to do the cost at the end phase before it switches control back because of brain control?

i did this at a tournament the other day and the other guy said that i couldnt choose to self destruct because of the cost before i passed it back (i obviously didnt have the cost since i was playing zombiesworn XD) but i couldnt be bother to call a judge over ... it caused me to lose the round (and the card made me lose the match =/ lol)

all answers appreciated

I don't think you can.

If you want to get really technical, "Brain Control" only lasts "until the End Phase".  So basically, it means as soon as you hit the End Phase, the monster switches control.

For the Koa'ki Meiru monsters, they say "During the End Phase", which if you think about it, is after the start of the End Phase.

Mind Control / Brain Control automatically resolves and returns the monster as soon as you declare the end phase, while the Koa'ki Meiru effect activates during the end phase.

There for you opponent was correct in what they had stated.
