Rules Q&A
- Q: Aroru Sensei Interrupt, w: After another player refuses a challenge or loses a duel from an action that targeted his Personality and your Ninja, give a -1F/-1C Poison token to his Personality.
Shosuro Saigyo Ninja Battle: A target enemy Personality challenges Saigyo. Give the winner +2F.
Why exactly does this not work? I can understand the refusal wouldn't go off but why wouldn't the loss? The battle action targets a another player's personality and my ninja so i don't understand exactly why it would not do anything?
A: The action comes from Saigyo - it doesn't target him, only the "enemy Personality": The word “target” must appear for the procedure to be considered targeting. Alex Jones, "Re: Aroru sensei and saigyo", 30 May 2015 - Q: Can I interrupt Saigyo duel with Aroru Sensei?

It would be hilarious if Scorpion ninja sensei would not work with the only Scorpion ninja able to create a duel, but hey...
A: You are correct, Aroru Sensei does not combine with Saigyo, as his ability does not target your ninja.
You are incorrect, however, that Saigyo is the only Scorpion ninja able to create a duel. Jon Palmer, "Aroru Sensei + Shosuro Saigyo", 17 Apr 2015
