Does Kakita Ichigiku's trait add effects to the [consequences of the] duel that he initiates or is the destruction indepandant from said duel ?
This is important to know if actions that negate destruction from actions (like Hundred-Fold Cut) work against duels initiated by Ichigiku or not.
Kakita Ichigiku After Ichigiku challenges a dishonorable Personality during a Combat Segment: The challenge will not be refused; destroy that duel's loser in addition to other consequences of losing.
Hundred-Fold Cut (relevant text only) Reaction: After another player's action targets your performing Kensai, bow or destroy one of his Weapons: Negate his destruction from the action's effects.

No. Ichigiku's destruction is its own effect coming from Ichigiku, not the original action; the wording is there to show that the normal effects of the duel happen as well.
