Rules Q&A
- Q: If I declare an attack with no attackers and no defenders, and I create a Yobanjin with a Yobanjin Fortress at the current (empty) battle, and then me and my opponent both consecutively pass, does the personality survive into resolution? I'm not clear whether or not passing counts as actions resolving.

Yobanjin Fortress 2G Holding Bow this card: Produce 2 Gold. Battle: Bow this card: Create a 1F/1C Yobanjin personality card in your army in the current battle. Remove this personality from the game after the battle ends or after two more actions resolve.
A: "after the battle ends or after two more actions resolve."
Passing is not resolving an Action. It would live through Resolution and get removed after the battle ended. Martin Lund, "Rules for 2 January 2004", 7 Jan 2005 - Q: Would Asako Keiki be able to use his reaction after using Yobanjin Fortress to create a 1/1 personality in the battle?
Asako Keiki Reaction: After you bring a personality into play: Gain 1 honor
Yobanjin Fortress: Battle: Bow this card: Create a 1/1 Yobanjin Personality in your army at the current battlefield. Remove him from the game after two more actions resolve or after the battle ends.

A: Created cards enter play right after they are created.
Heck, if they can not legally enter play they cease to exist immediately. Martin Lund, "Asako Keiki and Yobanjin Fortress", 11 Feb 2008
