A player, 23 July 2015
Based on the slight difference in wording between these 2 cards(text below) I wanted to ask a quick clarification.
Akodo Dairuko: After you destroy an enemy card during battle (including resolution), gain 1 Honor.
Ichigo Sensei: After an enemy card is destroyed during a battle, if the destruction was not from another player's card effect, gain 1 Honor.
1)Based on the difference in wording of these 2, Ichigo sensei would gain honor for cards destroyed by the rulebook effect correct?
Aka opponent's personality has 2 follower attachments, you Come on at a time them and win.
With Dairuko you would gain 1 honor for the 1 card you destroyed, however with Ichigo Sensei you would gain 1 honor 3 times(1 for the card you destroyed, and 1 each for the followers destroyed by the rule book effect)
2) If your opponent killed their own personality in a battle(same situation 2 followers) or say you won their come on at a time duel. Dairuko would award you 1 honor for destroying the personality card(or none if they destroyed their own personality), while Ichigo sensei would award you 1 honor twice(1 for each follower, but would not award you honor for the personality as they were killed by another players card effect)
Thanks

Your statements are correct.
When a card effect destroys a Personality (eg via a duel, or with Zlkyt's Family + Okura is Released) rather than a unit (eg with Thoughtless Sacrifice), the attachments are destroyed by the rulebook. Thus, Ichigo Sensei's trait will give you honour for the attachments, but Akodo Dairuko's trait will not.
