Sengoku Basara/Trivia

""You sayin' I like dudes!?""
 * Dueling Games: Capcom created this series as an answer to Samurai Warriors, and surprisingly, it both sold better and was critically praised (in Japan, anyway) for being considerably more unique than the leader it was following. This probably explains why the new officers in Samurai Warriors 2 and beyond have much more wackier powers and personalities than their predecessors, and the mash-up dream-match game Warriors Orochi was even created in the first place.
 * Fan Nickname:
 * 'Hondam' for Honda Tadakatsu.
 * 'MotorHorse' has been coined for Date Masamune's Cool Horse, for obvious reasons.
 * 'Aniki' for Motochika, which started out as an in-game nickname and was adopted by the fandom.
 * There was an event featuring the voice actors. When Ryuzou Ishino took the stage, the entire place screamed ANIKIIII!!!!!
 * 'Okra' or 'Okranari' for Motonari, due to his hat bearing a likeness to said vegetable.
 * 'Emonari'' for Mitsunari, thanks to his hair and Wangst. He's also called 'Mitsun'.
 * 'Maggie' for the she-Magoichi.
 * 'Kurokan', a shortening of Kuroda Kanbe.
 * 'Yukimoe' and 'Ukemura' for Yukimura.
 * 'Mitsukai' for Mitsuhide's Paper-Thin Disguise as Tenkai.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: In the third game, Masamune was voiced by Reuben Langdon, otherwise known as Dante from Devil May Cry, and Yukimura by Johnny Yong Bosch. Wait, Dante and Nero!?
 * Yukimura is ALSO voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch in the Warriors Orochi series AND Samurai Warriors 3. Cross-company mythology gag!
 * Also Ieyasu has the voice of GARcher: Liam O Brien.
 * But come the anime, Reuben Langdon is not going to voice Masamune again. On the bright side, we got Vic Mignogna, Michael Sinterniklaas, Laura Bailey and Stephanie Sheh as Mitsuhide, Sasuke, Oichi and Kasuga respectively.
 * Karen Strassman is Magoichi "Maggie" Saika.
 * Second season featured an anime-only character (Oyamada Nobushige) voiced by Tohru Furuya AKA Amuro Ray and FUCKING RIBBONS.
 * Ahem. Tomokazu Seki and Troy Baker? Where have we seen that combination above?


 * Harumasa's Gekko Moria. Considering that both are dark characters and can raise zombies, this is quite an amusing coincidence.
