Battle/Open: If this card is in your hand: Attach it to one of your target Personalities (paying all costs). If this card is in play at the end of this turn, you may then choose to put it in your hand.

Open: Pay 3 Gold: Target a Follower in play or in any player's discard pile. Attach it to a target Personality you control, waiving costs and ignoring its Honor Requirement. Lose Honor equal to the Follower's Honor Requirement if you do not own it.

After Utemaru attach it (traveling ronin) to one of his players personalities, the other player ( Traveling ronins original owner) would still control it so he could use the second part of the trait that says at the end of the turn he could choose to put traveling ronin into his hand???
If so after Utemaru xp1 get any other follower the original owner would still be able to use the advantages of his followers attached to your pewrsonalities?
In sinthesis since utemaro's attach others players followers to my personalities, would that mean i do not control it?? wouldnt you in the Traveling ronin's trait become me when it is attached to my personalities?
Thanks in advance.

Followers are always controlled by the controller of the personality it is attached to.
The action (not trait) on Traveling Ronin has two effects. Attach it to one of your target Personalities (paying all costs). Immediate Effect. If this card is in play at the end of this turn, you may then choose to put it in your hand. Delayed Effect

Changing the controller does not change the pending Delayed Effect. If the card is still in play at the end of this turn, the person who took the Battle/Open action to attach Traveling Ronin may choose to put it into his hand.
