if i use Gutobos open, and attack that province, if he dishonors gutobo, and then uses restoring order, am i correct in thinking that the moving home happens then destroys gutobo at home so he cannot use his delayed recon affect to come back?
Restoring Order / Gutobo

Recon Open: Target a province. Before this turn ends, bring into play each dead Goblin Personality you own who was destroyed this turn during a Combat Segment whose battlefield was at that province, ignoring Gold Costs.
In this case, even if the Personality was at home (or any other location) when destroyed, they were still destroyed during a Combat Segment whose battlefield was at that province, and therefore Gutobo's recon will bring them back into play.
You may have been looking at an older version of the card with a more confusing wording; the above is from the CE Gutobo, but the Khan's Defiance Gutobo on L5Rsearch.com has a less precise wording.
On: Restoring Order, Gutobo
