I attack my opponent with three copies of Daigotsu Churo and he defends with a single samurai. As his first action, he plays Turn the Tide.
Can I use the reactions on my Churos to negate their bowing as I target them, leaving me with three straightened Churos that have all used their reactions? I'm assuming that Turn the Tide doesn't go back to re-target Personalities that have had their bowing negated, but I just want to make sure.
Turn the Tide Battle: If your army has one or more unbowed Samurai and the enemy army has more unbowed Personalities than yours: The enemy leader targets and bows a different unbowed Personality in his army, one by one, until his army no longer has more unbowed Personalities than yours, or until he can no longer do so.
Daigotsu Churo Reaction: After an action targets Churo: Either negate the action's effects that bow Churo or negate the action's effects that move Churo.

You can't re-target Personalities with Turn the Tide, because that would not be a different unbowed Personality (card text).
