Can Agasha Shunsen use its ability to pull out Daimyo's Gunbai? Do we treat the dash cost as less than 1 for these kind of abilities?

Agasha Shunsen can search up a Daimyo's Gunbai and put it into play attached to one of your characters.

If I use the action of Daimyō's Gunbai to initiate a duel and my opponent play Stay Your Hand to cancel the duel, what happens to my Daimyō's Gunbai, it's comeback to my hand or it's discarded?

Stay Your Hand will cancel the duel. There is no “duel’s winner” if there is no duel, so you cannot put it into play attached to anyone. Therefore, you will discard the Gunbai.

That is incorrect, as it has already been ruled that the duel doesn't happen not that there isn't a valid target, so you can just challenge again. I would like to say I prefer your idea though.

It's not my idea. ;)
