Iaijutsu Battle: Oneiyara challenges a target enemy Personality. After the duel, Fear equal to Oneiyara's Force that targets the loser.
If you wanted to react with Okura Released to Oneiyara's Fear effect, you would have to play the interrupt after the battle action was declared targets were chosen and before the duel?
If so and you lost your own Okura is released would cause your Oneiyara to be destroyed correct?
Also Oneiyara's Force in the above is a self referenstial statement so If I steal the ability with Kenaro xp from Inspired Leadership it would refer to Kenaro's force?
Timing wise would Kenaro gain the +1f for winning the duel from his trait before the fear effect occurred?
Pretty sure I know most of these just double checking
