Does this Scenario work: 1) My opponent plays Shameful and Cowardly at a battle, targeting my personalties, A&B 2) I react with a redirection ability(say Chugo Seido) to redirect the targeting of B to A, thus hitting A with the effect twice?
Also, if this works, can you normally target a card more than once if the action targets multiple things? (so Battle: target two personalities... or Battle: target one or two personalities)
Card Text: Shameful and Cowardly Battle: Dishonor one or two target enemy Personalities. Give each target -3F.

No.
http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Glossary_T#Targeting: "When multiple targets are chosen simultaneously, the same target cannot be chosen twice. This also means that when one target out of multiple, already-chosen targets is being changed, another one of those already-chosen targets cannot legally become the new target.
"Example: If you target a Samurai and a Shugenja simultaneously, another player cannot change your targeting of the Samurai to target that Shugenja, because you have already chosen the Shugenja for the same targeting. "
