A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Sawai still has to target two personalities at the same battle doesn't he?

Battle: Target two Personalities controlled by the same player: Transfer a Follower from one to the other. If you have Reconnaissance, you may take an additional action

*edit* I think maybe I found the card I was looking for to get a comparison to confirm my question

Daigotsu Yamato Battle/Open: Target your Follower at any location: Transfer it to Yamato. You may take an additional action.

Yamato can move the follower from a personality outside of battle, but, Sawai has to move the follower between two personalities in the same battle.

Sawai still has to target two personalities at the same battle[field] doesn't he?

Correct. Nothing in Sawai's ability exempts its targeting from the Rule of Location (part 1).
