Rules Q&A

• Q: hey there
  assuming i have a bowed samurai who has heavenly daisho of the dragon attached and chugo seido in play. my opponent has a shugenja with touch of death.
  my opponent now announces touch of death and beginns to set targets for required targeting. my bowed samurai gets targeted.
  i use chugo seido to redirect the action to himself. due to being targeted in the constrains block my samurai performed the action. after the action resloves i use the reaction on heavenly daisho of the dragon to unbow my samurai's unit.
  E. ACTION RESOLUTION If all targets are met and costs are paid, apply the action’s effects in the order they are mentioned. Touch of Death: Destroy a target bowed Personality with equal or lower Chi than this Shugenja.
  now my question is this: does it make any diffrence that my samurai isn't bowed when the effects are applied or will he still get killed?
  thanks in advance
