Hi there,
As a follow up from my question here: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=87080
I understand if multiple Jutsushis target you before an Ambush, and you seppukku one, then the rest of the honour losses from other Jutsushis still apply.
If I Distractions in Court in reaction to the Ambush, even though all my Jutsushi losses are reduced to zero, am I able to seppukku off of any of them?
I'd personally have said "no", because there's not an honour loss to react to, but I wanted to get an official ruling on this
Thanks

See Timing Sequence.
Distractions in Court creates an ongoing effect which will negate any honour loss of 5 or less at step A. The Seppuku player ability Reaction would go at step C, but cannot be used because the honour loss doesn't exist after step A.
