Open: Target a non-Shao Personality. Shao forms a spiritual bond with them. Give Shao Force and Chi bonuses equal to the target's current bonuses to those stats and, after each time (this turn) the target gains a new Force or Chi bonus, give Shao an equal bonus to the same stat for the same duration or until the turn ends, whichever is shorter. - Legality

Rules Q&A
- Q: If Togashi Shao uses his ability on a personality with Yamigatai, does Shao get the bonus until end of turn, or only during the Combat Segment?
A: End of turn. "Equal bonus" just means value, not duration.
Now, to clarify, Shao gets nothing from taking the action initially (if the only bonus the target has would be from Yamigatai's trait), because it's Open and the armor only gives its bonus during the Combat Segment. But the delayed effect of giving Shao an equal bonus kicks in when the target gets a "new" bonus from Yamigatai when the Combat Segment starts.
Also, fun fact, since every instance of the armor turning on and off again is a new bonus, so with each new Combat Segment in a single turn, Shao would get a new, additional +2F that lasts until the end of that turn. C-c-c-combo! 🙂 Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 14 Oct 2024
