Curious,
If Shiba Sansesuke and 2 Shugenjas are targeted with The Power of a Word can Sansesuke react to have the targeting from one of the shugenjas target him?
The Power of a Word
Battle: Target one to three enemy dishonorable personalities: the shadow of their shame fall upon their shoulders. Move them home.
Shiba Sansesuke
Reaction: When an action would target a shugenja at Sansesuke's location, bow Sansesuke: The action targets him instead, if legal.
Thanks in advance.
No, a card cannot be "targeted twice" by the same targeting on an action.
From Glossary: 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.
