Kachiko straightened by another player's action

L5R CCG Rules board, 11 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.

Hi,

During our games Bayushi Kachiko, Seven Thunder • Experienced 2CW got targeted by Akodo Raikitsu

Kachiko's action mentions that "Kachiko may remained bowed", and 20F rules state that "It means that a card’s controller may choose to prevent its straightening before each time it straightens."

Does that mean that Kachiko's controller can choose to keep her bowed even when an opponent's action tries to straighten her?

Yes.
