A player, 7 August 2014
With ALitS the wording of the action bringing the Kata in play changed from: "Open: Put this Kata into play. Discard all your other Kata in play." to "Open: Put this Kata into play. Discard your other Kata in play."
As it seems that the plural of Kata is Kata (like Yojimbo), the question is: Is Kata used in plural or in singular in the latest action? If it is used in singular, can I then put into play 3 Unchecked Fury and discard only one of them each time I play any of the ALitS Kata (possibly ending with 3 different Kata on my side of the table)?
Thanks!

Kata is plural on this card. Functionally there's no difference between the two; if it intended to only discard one Kata, it would say "Discard another Kata in play".
