Per the recent Traditionalist ruling I think this now does nothing under 20F rules:
Interrupt: Target your Yojimbo. The action must target him, if legal.
Please can we get a technical errata so that the card works as intended with the new rules?
Final Sacrifice
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.
Nothing in the 20F rules appears to allow the targeting to change after Step C without explicitly stating it. Unlike Final Sacrifice, which explicitly chooses a new target, Traditionalist just makes a target illegal.
The new targeting rules make Traditionalist change function because under the old rules, all targets were chosen after Interrupts, so an Interrupt could get ahead of this choice and force a new one.
However, in Action Sequence it explicitly says in step E, "Targeting as chosen in step C is now actually carried out when called for by the card text, possibly altered by Interrupts or other effects."
So, Final Sacrifice still works as intended.
Hope that helps, Roger

Under the new "plain english" wording, what exactly differentiates the phrases "The action may not target" and "the action must target" on traditionalist and final sacrifice. Why does one of these phrases force a new targeting later on in the resolution segment, while the other straight negates an action? What part of this is even remotely intuitive?

Errata has been issued to Final Sacrifice and Traditionalist.
