Rules Q&A
- Q: Akodo Seiichi can bow an enemy army if he has enough force attached.
A: Yes. Yes, he can.
Whether this is a good thing or not doesn't influence whether it is a legal thing or not, rules-wise. Zen Faulkes, "Just wanna clarify: unit force vs. personality force", 24 Mar 2010 - Q: If in Army A there is Akodo Seiichi and he's dishonored , can he use his ability to bow a unit in opposing army B in which there is Bayushi Nomen?
A: Seiichi's ability does not target. (Nothing targets unless the card says so.) Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Akodo Seiichi and Bayushi Nomen", 27 Dec 2007
