My SearchFu has failed me, sensai.

Nerve Strike: Battle: Bow your target Monk: Target an enemy Personality with equal or lower Chi. Reduce his Force and the Force of each of his Followers to 0. Cards in that unit may not perform actions until this battle ends.

Shameful Injury: Battle: Even if you control no units at the current battlefield: Negate all current Force bonuses and penalties a target Personality has received from actions. Until the turn ends, negate all new Force bonuses or penalties on him from actions.

Does Shameful Injury negate the Force penalty (oops, originally wrote bonus) from Nerve Strike?

I eagerly await your response.

EDIT: I think this needs elaboration. The guys in my playgroup are split on this ruling. Nerve strike says "Cards in that unit may not perform actions until this battle ends." Are you implying that Shameful Injury is still able to be used, even though the unit (and specifically the personality) can not perform actions? I had another unit at the battlefield at the time (if that matters).

Does Shameful Injury negate the Force bonus from Nerve Strike?

Well, firstly, Nerve Strike gives a Force penalty, never a bonus.

Second, because Nerve Strike's action does give a penalty, Shameful Injury will indeed negate it.

EDIT: RE, your EDIT:

Shameful Injury is not performed at all, so that effect of Nerve Strike isn't relevant to it.

For "What performs an action?", see here.
