Greetings! I have Lady Matsu's Rage in play. I targeted one of my opponent's personalities with kitsuki judgement. Does it get removed from the game? Asking because seppuku is a rulebook destruction... My opponent wants to know if he will be able to play feign death. Thanks.

Lady Matsu's Rage After your action resolves that destroyed any Personalities: Remove them from the game. Battle: Choose your performing unbowed attacking Personality, target an enemy card, and discard this card: Bow the target. After the next time (this turn) it straightens, destroy it.

Kitsuki Judgment Limited: Choose your performing unbowed Magistrate, target a Human Personality, and pay Gold equal to his unit's total Gold Cost, +8 unless he is dishonorable, Kolat, Ninja, or Shadowlands: He commits seppuku.

The destruction comes from Kitsuki Judgment, so it gets removed by Lady Matsu's Rage. She wasn't deceived so easily!

Seppuku

Seppuku counts as destruction and rehonoring, from the action or trait that created the seppuku, for purposes of things that check whether these effects have happened.
