I use Shikage no Oni with my Kan'ok'tichek to destroy a Personality on my opponent's side, I play a Death After Life to get Kan'ok'tichek back. Can I now use Kan'ok'tichek's Reaction to take another Battle action?
"Kan'ok'tichek" Ratling • Nonhuman • Clan Champion • One Tribe • Tomorrow Chieftain • Bushi • Experienced 3 • Unique Reaction: After a Battle action resolves during which a Ratling entered play at a battlefield: Take an additional Battle action. Battle: Target three One Tribe cards at this battlefield: Kan'ok'tichek protects the One Tribe, destroying a target unit opposing him.
"Shikage no Oni" Shadowlands • Nonhuman • Oni • Lose 5 Honor. Battle: Destroy one of your target Personalities: Target an enemy unit with less Force than your Personality (before he is destroyed). Destroy the enemy unit.
"Death After Life" Reaction: After one of your Personalities is destroyed during battle: Lose 5 Honor. Target a dead Personality in your discard pile, or in any discard pile if you are a Spider Clan player. Permanently give him Shadowlands and Undead. Bring him into play in your current army, ignoring restrictions (paying all costs).

Yes. Kan'ok'tichek is a Ratling who entered play at a battlefield during Shikage no Oni's Battle action so after it resolves Kan'ok'tichek's own Reaction can be taken in order to take an additional Battle action. (Fixed)

doesnt mean the word "during" in Kan'ok'ticheks reaction that the ratling has to enter play between the start and the resolution of the battle action no matter how he did ?
