Q: * Just confirmation: Hida Sunao has Yu3, not Yu5, right ?
A: Right. 3. Jeff Alexander, "post for 21 January 2003", 22 Jan 2003
Q: An odd question came up today about Hida Sunao. Here's the relevant text:
Reaction: Discard a card after the end of a battle Sunao was in to straighten him.
The question is, does Sunao have to actually be AT the battle WHEN it resolves to use his reaction.
A: No. He can have been in it at any time. Jeff Alexander, "post for 15 April 2002", 16 Apr 2002
Q: 2.) Argued the point, request confirmation: If Hida Sunao is sent home with a Block Supply Lines, Refugees, Tsudao favor, or other send-home action that bows the target, I can straighten him using his reaction once the battle ends?
A: Yes. Jeff Alexander, "post for 18 December 2001", 19 Dec 2001
