Tsudo no Oni - "target an enemy card" phrase

L5R CCG Rules board, 9 May 2010

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, 9 May 2010

Tsudo no Oni After Tsudo enters play: Lose 6 Honor. Battle: Destroy a target enemy card. That card's owner may target and destroy one of your cards at the current battlefield, other than this card.

Does it mean that personalities with attachments (i.e. whole units) may also be targeted and destroyed by both effects?

Thanks a lot.

Both effects may target Personalities, regardless of whether they have attachments or not.

When the Personality is destroyed by the effect, his attachments will also be destroyed by the Rules.

Attachments: "When a Personality leaves play, all his attached cards leave play in the same manner as he did. This leaving play is a rulebook effect contingent on the effect that took the Personality out of play[.]"
