So i'm pretty sure i know the answer to this already but i'm looking for clarification.
So feign death removes anything attached to a card when it dies like tokens, but could someone feign death when i play spinning the web even if it doesn't kill them right away?
Player A has personality with 3C Player B plays spinning the web Player A plays feign death. Player B uses Shosuro Sadao's ability to generate a token trigger spinning the web making another token killing the personality.
OR
Player A has 3C personality Player B plays spinning the web Player A plays feign death. Player B plays a Duel and interrupts with Aroru sensei wins duel gives personality 2 tokens killing them.
so would feign death work in such situations since they interrupted an effect that is ongoing that eventually kills the personality? My initial gut answer is no do to the delayed effect thing that happens.

Feign Death's delayed effect only triggers if the action it Interrupts destroys the Personality. If a later action destroys him, Feign Death will have no effect.
