Rules Q&A

• Q: Greetings!
  Player A has Asako Karachu in a battle. Player B uses a card effect to bow karachu and uses the reaction of Togashi Hizumi to prevent Karachu from straightening. Since traits come first before actions, does karachu still straiten from player B's bowing action, and will later be prevented from straightening the next time he bows?
  Asako Karachu After Karachu bows: Straighten him.
  Togashi Hizumi Reaction: After the resolution of an action that bowed a Personality at Hizume's battlefield, target the Personality: Negate his straightening (this turn). Battle: Give the current battlefield's province +4 or -4 strength.
  Thanks!
  A: Here's the sequence:
  1. Player B begins resolving his action's effects. One of them is to bow Karachu. 1b. Immediately after Karachu bows, his trait straightens him. 2. Player B's action finishes resolving. 2b. Player B may now react with Hizumi to the resolution, since the action DID bow Karachu, targeting him and negating any of his future straightening until the turn ends.
