Rules Q&A
- Q: Hello guys, question with Tetsuo. The samurai version didnt had kensai, just wondering if he got kensai only in celestial?
A: Correct. Michio, also from Words and Deeds, didn't have it in his initial printing either. Kensai wasn't even a thing until TotE&JC, 2 sets into Samurai, and it didn't evolve into a Spider theme until later still. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 10 Nov 2024
