Rules Q&A

• Q: Kaiu Shiro
  If you delay the destruction of your personality using Courage in Death and you win the battle, does Kaiu Shiro trigger when you finally destroy your personality at the end of your turn? Or does it trigger before the death is delayed?
  A: If you delay the destruction, Kaiu Shiro will never trigger.
  Its trait triggers after the action resolves. If your guy didn't die from the action during that resolution, then nothing happens. Brook Cunningham, "Kaiu Shiro and Delay destruction", 20 Oct 2014
• Q: Can a player Surge a personality who has been targeted by the reaction ability of Kaiu Shiro
  A: Where is "Reaction" printed on Kaiu Shiro?
  If it doesn't say "Reaction," it's not an action. Which is what Suitengu's Surge looks for. Zen Faulkes, "Kaiu Shiro and Suitengu's Surge", 30 May 2007
