A player, 17 January 2008
For example:
i have personality with 2 personal honor and performing shuten doji's fury against 2 pesonalities w/o attachments:
How misdirection works here? I targeted the 2 personalities A and B, if my opponent use misdirection from A to B, is it Legal?
-AND-
How about for the 2 personalities w/ 1 champion/daimyo? if my opponent use Seat of Power instead target the other personality, is it Legal too?
many tnx =)

Read the most recent printing of Misdirection again.
"Political Gozoku Reaction: Before another player would choose targets for one of his action’s effects during a battle, target one of your Courtier or Gozoku Personalities: You choose the targets instead."
You never got to target anything. The player playing Misdirection made all the targeting decisions, not you. He could choose just one target even if you wanted to target 2 or 3 cards.
How about for the 2 personalities w/ 1 champion/daimyo? if my opponent use Seat of Power instead target the other personality, is it Legal too?
This is the same situations as Shuten Doji's Fury vs. A Soldier's Fate - which has been asked and answered.
No, if a single effect targets 2 card simultaneously you can not redirect from one target to the other target and cause the single targeting instruction to "double-target" one card.
