Ok... you mentioned it would not kill the personalities with followers. But you mentioned in the previous topic that it could? (re: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=102742 ) Or am I misunderstanding? What order do the additional actions for range strikes come in?
I ask because of the situation I described, with Hosigeru popping off a range strike on everyone... if Kanade pops off the followers with the additional actions generated from Koshin Keep, would the restriction on personalities w/followers no longer apply for the additional action on them after Kanade kills his/her followers?
(Sorry for pestering, but this is an interesting combo and this also gives me insight for future issues combos like this may generate)

Hosigeru does simultaneous ranged attacks, which means they can only target cards that were targetable when the original action was used. A Personality with followers was not a legal target at that time, and Koshin Keep won't let you later target them during the resolution of Hosigeru's action and Koshin Keep's follow-up actions.
