Shosuro Hawado XP has this ability: Reaction: After a Battle action resolves, if Hawado is at the current battlefield, target a Personality that performed it: Move him from his current location to another.
Am I correct in thinking that this can target the performing Personality at any location, so long as Hawado herself is at the current battlefield?
Examples: 1. Bayushi Keirei XP uses his Battle ability to move himself to a different battlefield, dropping poison tokens along the way, Hawado XP reacts and brings him back to the current battlefield. 2. Kakita Kae uses her Battle ability to move herself home, Hawado XP reacts and drags her back to the battlefield (or to a different battlefield entirely).
Thanks!

Reactions are not bound by the Rule of Location, so the target of Hawado's action may be at any location, and may be moved to any (different) location.
