- "Continue with the ritual," Jin ordered. "The gateway to Jogoku may yet be closed, if we are not diligent.", Masaru winced in pain as the blade slit his arm. Focusing on the blood, he added his power to Jin's.

Rules Q&A
- Q: If Chuda Masaru (a Bloodspeaker) is destroyed by Shield of Blood, can you put his card underneath the Pit of Blood? The question came up because Chuda Masaru was destroyed as a cost of playing SoB instead of in a battle or duel.
A: Well, Pit of Blood seems to say: "Maho Reaction: When a Bloodspeaker Personality you control dies, put that Personality under Pit of Blood instead of into your discard pile."
And Shield of Blood says: "Maho Kiho Limited: Bow one of your Shugenja or Monks and destroy one of your Personalities ..."
Looks like he can go in the Pit to me. He's being destroyed / dying, and he's a Bloodspeaker. That's all Pit of Blood cares about. Martin Lund, "Rules for 7 April 2004", 8 Apr 2004
