• Erratum: Reads, "Togashi Kansuke 4F/4C 4HR 7G 2PH Dragon Clan Samurai. Student of the Tao. Tattooed. Kansuke may cast Kihos as if he were a Monk." [MRP, Lotus Edition, 31 October 2005] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 127

Rules Q&A

• Q: My opponent has a Hitomi Daisetsu and a Togashi Kansuke as the only units in his army. He plays Wedge on Kansuke. I play Overwhelmed. What can/must he do?? He can't send both of them home becuase he can't target his Kansuke. He can't destroy Kansuke because he can't target him.
  A) He sends home Daisetsu but leaves Kansuke. B) He does nothing at all.
  B seems like the correct answer to me, but I'm not sure.
  A: It used to be that you would send Daisetsu home, since that's the only option that will do anything but fail completely.
  However, the MRP in Diamond says, "He must choose to destroy a Personality if he cannot send two units home." I can't argue with explicit card text.
  So you must choose the destroy option, which fails.
  Unless Jeff says otherwise, you're right. It'll be answer B - do nothing. Martin Lund, "Rules for 7 June 2004", 10 Jun 2004
• Q: So could [Togashi Kansuke] attach monk only items or get the discount on certain items?
  A: No. They're not kiho.
