If I use Triumph of courage focus effect to switch it with another card, Will the triumph for courage also be removed from the game?

If I use Triumph of courage focus effect to switch it with another card, Will the triumph for courage also be removed from the game?

In more general terms, "If a card enters a Focus Poll by some means besides focusing, it is treated as 'focused'?"

http://rules.l5r.com/Glossary_F#Focused_cards: "Cards currently in the focusing area. This is not necessarily restricted to cards that were originally focused."

Triumph of Courage goes.

No. It is already in the discard pile, so cannot be removed "instead" of being discarded. (Fixed.)
