Rules Q&A
- Q: I resolve Blessings of Isawa, and the next Kiho to resolve in the game is Riddle of Rebirth, performed by my Henshin.
What happens?
a) my Henshin becomes an unstoppable entity of mass destruction, and can bow once per turn to send any unit whose guy shares a keyword with him to the deckbottoms, with no other cost b) my Henshin temporarily becomes an unstoppable entity of mass destruction, but the next time he uses his new "ability" he gets RFG just as the original Riddle was c) my Henshin has now solved the Riddle, and I win by enlightenment d) this is an illegal play. Much like crossing the streams, "It would be bad".
A: b) - Riddle of Rebirth's "remove this card" will be transferred to the ability the Personality gains, and will remove the Personality from the game.

Assuming i have a monk/henshin/cavalry on my side and the opponent have 2 personality, Peep A has Cavalry / Monk and Peep B has Samurai / Cavalry.
When I use Riddle of rebirth, lets say I target peep A, do i have to announce that I'm targetting using the same Monk traits? If I dont, does that mean that the opponent may chugo seido the riddle to Peep B, to trigger the shared Cavalry keyword instead?
A: There is no choice of a keyword, only a check to make sure they share one for targeting legality. Your opponent may redirect to any Personality that shares any keyword with your Henshin, not only one who shares the same keyword as the original target.
