Question came up and couldn't find an answer searching the forums.
I am defending with personality X with 2 force and 0 PH. My opponent plays Shinjo's Courage with his 4 PH personality, personality Y. I have an Assigning Blame in my hand.
Which is the proper play:
1) Assigning Blame reacts immediatly after my personality is destoryed, in the middle of Shinjo's courage before the honor would be gained, making my opponent gain 4 honor, instead rehonoring rehonoring personality Y.
2) Assigning Blame reacts immediatly after my personality is destroyed, in the middle of Shinjo's courage, before the honor would be gained. Personality Y is dishonored, gaining his controller 0 honor, not rehonoring personality Y.
3) Assigning Blame reacts immeditaly after Shinjo's Courage completely resolves, dishonorng the personality, and netting my opponent 1 honor.
Mod edit: Corrected card title.

#2 is the correct sequence.
