Shibata Sensei, Imperial Summons, Bayushi Aggushi & Bayushi Janqu

L5R CCG Rules board, 10 September 2015 to 15 September 2015

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.

If I target and bow my unbowed Bayushi Aggushi & Bayushi Janqu in lieu of discarding the Imperial Favor for Imperial Summons by running Shibata Sensei, can I then use their Open action to straighten them? In essence, does Shibata Sensei modify the action in a way that causes the action to target them?

According to a previous ruling http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=114467&p=1480598&hilit=Shosuro+Orikasa#p1480598 that stated that Shosuro Orikasa's Interrupt could be used after she bows for the Sensei's trait So I don't see why not. But, I'm not the law here. So take my opinion as you will.
