Isawa Ochiai's ability forces a duel and the loser bows and cannot straighten until after the controller's next straighten phase.
Can the temple of death be used to straighten the loser regardless?
Isawa Ochiai and Temple of Death

I don't see any magical text on Temple of Death that says, "even if he may not straighten."
