If I play Knowledge on Daigotsu Churo and use his Reaction to prevent Churo going home, will it also negate the other personality's movement?
Card text:
Daigotsu Churo Spider Clan • Shadowlands • Undead • Samurai After Churo enters play: Lose 4 Honor. Reaction: After an action targets Churo: Either negate the action's effects that bow Churo or negate the action's effects that move Churo.
Knowledge Dark Virtue Battle: Target one of your Samurai: Move him and a target Personality opposing him home. Draw a number of cards equal to the opposing Personality’s Personal Honor or two, whichever is less.
Thanks, Mark

Definition of effects: An effect is anything, other than a cost, that changes the stats, traits, abilities, restrictions, or capabilities of a card, a player, a game entity (such as Provinces), or the game state. Each individual change to a card, a player, a game entity (such as Provinces), or the game state is a separate effect.
Churo moves as a separate effect to the movement of the other Personality. Negating the effect that moves Churo does not negate the effect that moves the other Personality.
