Relevant text on Hisayuki:
Increase by 1 all Force bonuses Hisayuki receives from abilities on cards that are not in this unit. These increases last as long as the bonuses do.
Now, I have two cards I am wondering about and how they work with him.
Question 1:
Shout of Defiance Shout Heroic Battle: Target one of your Personalities: He gains +1F, an additional +1F if he is a Hero, and an additional +1F if he is opposed.
If opposed, would Hisayuki gain:
A) 4 force B) 3 force C) Something different
Question 2:
A Legion of One Heroic Battle: Give one of your target Personalities +2F for each unit in the opposing army. If he is a Hero or Deathseeker before the next time this battle a card effect moves him, negate the movement.
Would Hisayuki gain: A) +3 force for each opposing unit B) +2 force for each unit then a final +1 force C) Something different
I would just like some clarification and thanks for your help.

Kaiu Hisayuki + Shout of Defiance: If opposed, would Hisayuki gain:4 force, 3 force, Something different.
Tentatively, 3F. Have to do some more checking though.
Additional: Each bonus is separate, and is increased by Hisayuki's trait separately. so +4F.
A Legion of One: Would Hisayuki gain: A) +3 force for each opposing unit B) +2 force for each unit then a final +1 force C) Something different
B. http://rules.l5r.com/Glossary_F#For_each: "Proportional effects using the term “for each”, such as “Gain 1 Honor for each Samurai you control,” should be interpreted as a single effect rather than numerous separate effects."
