Rules Q&A

• Q: I control Tsuruchi Onaka, and target the opponent's HouHou with Onaka's Open action. I use a duelist to play Imperial Adjudication, targeting the dishonorable HouHou. I win the duel. Before the turn ends, does HouHou get rehonored even though he's out-of-play?
  A: No.

  "specifies an out of play area," Does not apply.
  "is triggered by a card entering an out of play area (such as, being destroyed or discarded from the hand)," Does not apply.
  "uses wording such as “all Samurai in and out of play”," Does not apply.
  "is a continuous effect from a card out of play, in which case it affects only that card." Does not apply. Zen Faulkes, "Tsuruchi Onaka + Rehonored Dead Personality", 25 Aug 2009
