Judgement of Toshiken

Reaction: Play this card after players reveal Focus cards in a duel. Resolve the duel only by the Chi (or other stat noted on the card creating the duel) of the dueling Personalities before the challenge, plus the Focus cards' printed Focus values. The Double Chi trait works as usual. If either Personality has not focused, each can focus an extra time, starting with the challenged Personality.

My question is does this reaction take place before or after Focus Effects are revealed? In other words if you focus the extra time with a card that has a focus effect does that focus effect trigger?

From Challenges and Duels: "In a duel, headings A through J occur in sequence. ... D: Duel resolution begins after a player strikes. E: Both players reveal (turn face up) all cards in their focusing area. F: Focus Effects resolve. ..."
Judgement of Toshiken is played in step E. Focus Effects resolve in step F - including from any extra cards focused via Judgement of Toshiken.
