• Erratum: Reads, "Togashi Mitsu 2F/2C 4HR 7G 1PH Dragon Clan Tattooed Monk. Toturi's Army Samurai. Open: Place up to five 1F/1C tokens on Mitsu. He cannot have more than five Fire tokens, and cannot straighten by any means if he has any Fire tokens. Remove a Fire token from him instead of straightening him during the Straighten Phase. If he has any Fire tokens, he bows after any battle he is in, as if he were an attacking Personality." [MRP, Soul of the Empire] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 128
• Trying to straighten Mitsu outside the Straighten Phase has no effect (i.e., no fire tokens are removed). [Card text] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 128
• Does not lose fire tokens if he isn't bowed. [DW, 6/5/96] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 128
• Bowing can be prevented by Rallying Cry. [Card text] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 128
• Will not lose a fire token if some additional effect also forces him to remain bowed during the Straighten Phase. [DW, 27 August 1996] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 128
• If given a Dragon Tattoo, will be limited to three tokens because both fire token restrictions must be observed. [DW, email, 17 February 1999] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 128
• The effects, "cannot have more than five Fire tokens," "cannot straighten by any means if he has any Fire tokens," and "remove a Fire token... instead of straightening him during the Straighten Phase" are permanent side effects of making Fire tokens. They last for the rest of the game upon using the ability once, even if the ability to add Fire tokens is lost. [JA, 2 May 2002] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 128
• If overlaid on the non-Experienced Togashi Mitsu, the prohibition against straightening when he has a Fire token only comes into effect if the non-Experienced ability is used. [Reversal, JA, 2 May 2002] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 128
