Void fist vs character that has Clarity of Purpose effect

By magarence, in L5R LCG: Rules Discussion

What is the interaction of Void fist against a character that has Clarity of Purpose effect on it? Does it return that character home but unbowed or it cannot resolve because of game state "bow character" not changed?

you resolve all the effects you are able to so send home but not bow. The only time a secondary effect would be stopped is if the preceding effect was a "then" effect, as you must resolve all effects preceding then before being able to resolve the post then effects. If you were unable to resolve any of the pre-then effects, then you are also unable to move one to resolve the post then effects.

Thank you for the clarification. I guess it goes the same for Kanjo District too, as it is also "and" not "then" even if bow precedes moving home?
