Omigawa vs. sensei's

L5R CCG Rules board, 24 April 2013

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.

If I have an Omigawa in play and then bring another regular sensei into play, who has the trait that sends all other sensei's away, will Omigawa go away?

No.

Keywords are not divisible into their separate parts. Omigawa is a "Master Sensei", but he is not a "Sensei". Just as Akodo Kano is a "Master Tactician", but he also needs the separate, by-itself "Tactician" keyword to, you know, BE a "Tactician".
