Battle: Target and bow a Personality you control at the current battlefield: Target a Personality opposing him. Bow the opposing Personality. Battle: Target a Personality in the enemy army with no cards attached. Bow him." [MRP, Lotus Edition, 31 October 2005] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 22

Q: At a tournament recently someone tried to play Kiss of the Scorpion using one samurai and one samurai/ninja to meet the requirement and others there agreed this was possible. I thought it was explained when the card first came out that it could not be played with less than three personalities and that a personality with both the samurai and ninja traits could only count towards one or the other. Has this changed?
A: Not that I know of. Jeff's ruling from Rules for 17 Feb. 2004 still stands. You need 2 Samurai Personalities AND 1 Ninja Personality. That's a minimum of 3 Personalities. Martin Lund, "Rules for 24 June 2004", 28 Jun 2004
