The Last One question

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

A player, 18 April 2010

I have six pesonalities in play. I play The Last One, targeting personality A. Personality B reacts with the Hand of the Jade Dragon. The other four personalities are destroyed. Does personality A gain the various benefits from The Last One, and does personality B survive?

The Last One Open: Target your Personality: Destroy all of your other Personalities. If this destroyed at least four Personalities, permanently give your targeted Personality +4F, and until the end of the game, negate effects of other player's actions that bow, dishonor, move, or destroy him.

Hand of the Jade Dragon Reaction: Before an action's resolution: Negate this Personality's destruction from the action's effects.

Yes and yes.
