Battle:
Target an enemy card without attachments: Bow it. If Toshimo has a
weapon or you control a Courtier, negate its straightening.

An amazing first for the paragon yojimbo theme and an excellent kensai. Hope scorpion keeps it's kensai them Especially with a fellow this badass.

This is a great personality, i especially love the picture. Just like Spider monk/kensai, having access to 2 keywords for 1 theme is really powerful. They already have access to Grateful Reward/Cast Aside the Weak and A Yojimbo's Duty. Scorpion Paragon/Yojimbos are already looking strong. I'm really curious to see what their stronghold will look like.

This is also likely to be the last bit of support that we will see for the Bitter Lies theme.

While we are talking about yojimobos, i think it would be cool to see Ronin get that as there theme next arc. We already know that Hero's are getting cut, and it would be a really cool tribute to Kurosawa.

I'll bet that bitter lies sticks around.

Just as a flavor keyword though. I don't see any more "all your bitter lies personalities get +1 force" or anything like that in the future. Kind of similar to Iron Crane. Crane scouts will still have the keyword, but I wouldn't expect to have any sort of theme associated with it.

I'm sure bitter lies is dead. The only reason this personality has kensai imo is to support the theme for the tail end of CE. The Paragon theme will replace it in EE.

Doesn't that still leave them short a theme? Oh right, ninja's. Nevermind then. I never associate ninja's with scorpion for some reason.

So political warfare, ninja's, paragon's, and magistrates.
