Lotus Edition flashback
Suppose I'm defending and I have an opposed Togashi Satsu XP3 in one battlefield, and another unique Personality defending other province, and we're currently resolving the later battle. Can I bow the unique personality in the current battle to play Satsu's ability and remove from the game a unit opposing Satsu? Is it relevant?
Situation:
Province 1 (unresolved, yet): Togashi Satsu XP3 ---------> Enemy unit Province 2 (the one we're resolving): Unique personality ----------> Enemy army
Battle: Bow a Ring or Unique card you control: Remove a target unit opposing Satsu from the game.
[Mod edit: Slang removed. -ZF]

Not under Samurai Edition rules, where the Rule of Relevance was changed to the Rule of Location.
Under Lotus rules, yes.
