A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.
His wording's a little wonky. It sounds like whether or not he's at the current battlefield, he can dishonor an attacker at any battlefield. It specifically states he doesn't have to be at the current battlefield to use his ability, and the effect doesn't follow suit by specifically saying it has to be the current battlefield. Can I get a ruling?
And yes, I love italics.

Rule of Location:
"This rule has two parts: 1. Any cards in units must be at the current battlefield to be legally targeted by a Battle action. 2. If a Battle action is on a card in a unit (a Personality or attachment in play), the unit must be at the current battlefield in order to take that action."
Doji Jotaro's "Even if Jotaro is not at the current battlefield" clause lets you ignore part 2, but you must still obey part 1. The targeted attacker must be at the current battlefield.
