Scout Armor and Unit Bow

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.

A player, 9 June 2010

If I target someone with Scout Armor with an effect that bows their unit, can the player react with Scout Armor to straighten the personality? I ask because if the effect resolves and the unit bows, then Scout Armor cannot use its reaction. Card:

Scout Armor 2G Reaction: After the resolution of an action that bowed this personality: Straighten him.

No, because you can't use the Reaction on the bowed Scout Armour.
