If Etsui targets a character, then on my opponents turn he uses imperial summons to bow Etsui. On my open i use ring of air to straighten him, since Etsui is still not bowed or out of play my opponents character would not be allowed to assign, correct?

Once per game, after Etsui enters play or overlays: You may target a Personality. Until the end of the game, he cannot assign or move to battlefields unless Etsui is bowed or out of play.
Whenever an effect or game mechanic would assign or move Etsui's victim into a battle, check to see if Etsui is currently out of play or bowed. If he is neither of these things, the assigning or moving is Negated. It doesn't matter if Etsui was out-of-play or bowed any earlier in the turn.
