Determination reads:
Dark Virtue Reaction: Before you announce an action, target one of your Samurai: The action can not have its effects negated or have its targeting changed. After the action destroys any Personality, remove him from the game.
Shosuro Adeiko reads:
Reaction: After the effects resolve of a battle resolution, action, or trait that destroyed Adeiko or one of your other Personalities: Give a target Personality a -3F/-1C token, and an additional -1C token if he is dishonorable.
If I destroy Adeiko with an action that was anounced after Determination, can she react, or is she already removed from the game at the point she would be able to?
Thanks!

She's been removed from the game before her Reaction can be played. You can't use anything on her card unless there is text that says you can use it even while she is not in the game. (I sincerely hope to never see such card text.)
