Hi there,
I have a question regarding Victory through Deference and given boldface keywords. For example, Tsukimi has the boldface shugenja keyword while she has a spell. Victory through Deference can remove that keyword (right?). Yet she still has the trait that gives her Shugenja while she has a spell. Does she regain the keyword immediately? Does the same go for the ability Come one at a Time gives to your lone defender?
Thank you!

Victory Through Deference creates an effect, lasting until the end of the turn, that removes Tsukimi's Shugenja keyword, which is granted via another effect (her trait). Since Victory Through Deference is the more recent effect, it takes preference. If Tsukimi were to lose her spell, and then attach another spell, her trait would be the more recent effect, and would again give her the Shugenja keyword.
Come One at a Time is similar - if the Personality was to cease being your lone defender, and then resume being your lone defender, it would regain the ability.
