Rules Q&A
- Q: What's happening when I use Kakita Noritoshi (soul of Doji Jiro) reaction (double focus value of one card when revealed, you cannot double the focus of a card whose focus value has changed) with Let You Spirit Guide You (Focus value equals personal honor + 2).
Am I allowed to do that to get a focus value = 8 ?
A: No. Jiro's ability will not work on any focus card whose value in a duel is something other than what's printed in the little circle on the bottom of the card. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for June 11th - Part Two!", 12 Jun 2003 - Q: With the MRP to Iaijutsu Art, can you still use Kakita Noritoshi ability to double a focus value?
A: Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 5 July 2001", 6 Jul 2001
