I searched and saw a ruling on Fall Back. It was stated that the straightening could be anywhere. I was wondering if you could explain it a little better to me. As I understand it, due to the rule of location Battle actions must come from cards at the current battle and effect cards at that battle, unless specified it could be "at any location." Is this a loophole to the rules because it does say "target" in the second part of the card? Can other cards work this way? Can Yogo Rieko be at a battle and straighten anyone anywhere? Sorry for the confusion it just seems like this card goes against the rules and I dont see why. Thanks.
Fall Back
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.

Fall Back! Battle: Move your target Personality home. If he moved, straighten his unit, and you may straighten one of your other units.
Rule of Location: A card in a unit must be at the current battlefield to be targeted by, or explicitly perform, a Battle action.
Emphasis added: because the second sentence of Fall Back! doesn't say "target", it is not subject to the Rule of Location, so you may choose your unit at any location.
On: Fall Back!, Yogo Rieko
