Rules Q&A
- Q: I have Shibata Sensei and a courtier with Taketori attached.
If I bow the courtier in battle to use the Rulebook Favor Battle ability, may I unbow him with Taketori?
I'm not sure, because the action is in the rulebook, but the bow cost is printed in Shibata.
Thanks!
A: It's not a cost, but the bow effect is certainly printed on Shibata Sensei, so a Taketori can straighten the Courtier you bowed. Alex Jones, "Shibata and Taketori", 8 Sep 2015 - Q: Hi
Can I unbow a personality (e.g. Mirumoto Akifumi or Mirumoto Futoro) which used his own action to bow himself with Taketori?
Mirumoto Akifumi: Tireless Battle: Target your Ring. You may bow it to straighten Akifumi or you may bow Akifumi to straighten it.
Mirumoto Futoro: Iaijutsu Battle, bow: Destroy a target enemy attachment with Force less than or equal to Futoro's Chi
Taketori: Battle, bow: If your card bowed this Personality this battle, straighten him.
A: The Personality to which Taketori is attached is "your card", so if the Personality bowed him- or herself this battle, Taketori will unbow him or her. Alex Jones, "Unbow Personality with Taketori", 22 Apr 2015 - Q: Hello,
My army includes a Tactician with Taketori attached. My opponent plays an action, and I bow my Tactician to pay the cost for The Sun Returns to cancel the action. May I bow Taketori to straighten my Tactician, because the bowing was required by The Sun Returns?

Taketori Battle, (bow): If your card bowed this Personality this battle, straighten him.
Thank you for your time.
A: Yes, you may. Your card (The Sun Returns) bowed him, so Taketori will straighten him. Jon Palmer, "Taketori and Bowing Due to Paying a Cost", 9 Apr 2015
