Rules Q&A

• Q: In regards to this thread: http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=96214&p=1271887&hilit=goju+yurishi#p1271887
  I know it's an old post, but a game just came up and I'm being told I have to still focus because of Doji Kazuo - exp's trait and I'm seriously having trouble wrapping my head around this.
  By this ruling, am I to believe that a battle duel will still take place even if Yurishi isn't there? Since he is triggered by being targeted and is home before the duel starts?
  Or does the duel just fail since his dueling partner isn't there anymore?
  It is very dumb if I still have to focus if I don't even have a guy there dueling.
  A: The duel is not an effect *on* Goju Yurishi, so it is not negated by his Reaction. However, the duel may create effects, such as "Destroy the duel's loser," which - if Yurishi is the loser - will be an effect on him.
