Rules Q&A
- Q: If Orikasa bows in place of discarding the favor, is it treated as a political action allowing her to straighten herself with her interupt?
A: It would depend on the action. Both Rulebook Favor actions are Political, and if Orikasa bows to pay the favor cost via Shibata Sensei, you could Interrupt the action and straighten her. I can't offhand think of any non-Political Favor actions, but they could exist, in which case just bowing her wouldn't make the action Political and let her trigger.
Anyway, that's a bit convoluted, but for all practical purposes I could find, you'll always be able to trigger Orikasa off the action for which she's bowing to pay the cost via Shibata Sensei. Jon Palmer, "Shibata Sensei and Shosuro Orikasa", 13 Jul 2015 - Q: Can I pay for full on Orikasa then bow her in reaction to Destructive Priorities and then use her reaction to unbow?
[Mod edit: Duplicate post removed. -ZF]
A: No, you may not.
If you buy Orikasa for her Honor, you gain that Honor before she enters play. You can't take her Reaction while she's out of play, and after she enters play, the timing for her reacting to that gain has passed. Brook Cunningham, "Shosuro Orikasa and Destructive Priorities", 18 Jul 2011
