A player, 9 January 2012
This came up yesterday in a tournament.
My personality has been targeted by Hiruma Nikaru's ability. Does that personality perform the Shameful Rebuke when I play it if that is the personality I want to send home?
Shameful Rebuke Political Battle: In turn order, starting with you, each player targets and moves one of his Personalities at the current battlefield home. Then, choose a player who loses Honor equal to the number of Personalities this moved.
Hiruma Nikaru Battle: Target an enemy Personality: Bow him. He may not perform actions.
Thanks

Shameful Rebuke does not state that it is performed, therefore, Nikaru's ability will not prevent you from targeting that Personality and moving him home.
