Hi, I have a couple of questions about the rules in samurai edition:
1 - Can "A few against many" protect a personality that lost a duel (first and final strike)?
2 - My opponent attacks with Hida Yaheiko; I defend with Goju Zeshin, use the ranged attack and as a consequence Yaheiko gets -2C, does her battle action protects her?
Thank you

I have a couple of questions about the rules in samurai edition:
Answers will assume Lotus card text.
Can "A few against many" protect a personality that lost a duel(?)
Rules, Duels: "There is no default consequence of winning or losing a duel." If the duel is lethal, yes.
My opponent attacks with Hida Yaheiko; I defend with Goju Zeshin, use the ranged attack and as a consequence Yaheiko gets -2C, does her battle action protects her?
Rules, Stats, Chi: "This destruction from zero Chi is continuously applied. If a one-time triggered effect negates the personality's destruction from zero Chi, he is destroyed again immediately after the negation happens."
