I have Isawa Fujisawa in province:

http://www.thephoenixclan.com/phpbb3/vi ... 57&start=0

During battle i have no presence and enemy has unit present i want to recruit him (he is Reserve)

Is it true, that i cannot use his interrupt, as it doesnt have absent keyword?

Interrupt, :*g : After Fujisawa enters play, Equip a target Spell to him from your hand or discard pile.

Thanks.
