A player, 1 November 2012
Pretty sure I know the answer, but I want to make sure.
Cards:
Suitengu's Torch Reaction: After you announce a Thunder Battle action: Its effects will not be negated or delayed. Battle: Choose your performing unbowed Personality and target an enemy Personality: Move him home.
Moshi Ino Battle: Ino summons a storm. After the next action not performed by a Thunder Personality resolves this battle, the player who took it chooses to discard a card or bow the performer. You may take an additional Battle action.
Scenario: A player uses Moshi Ino's action and decides to take the additional action. They decide to use the Battle action on Suitengu's Torch. After announcing the Battle action, they decide to use the Reaction on the stronghold. Since a reaction is an action, and its not performed, does this still trigger the effect setup by Ino's Battle action?

Yes, as the Torch's Reaction is not performed by anyone, it will trigger Ino's effect.
