Arguably Wei's greatest strategist, Sima Yi planted the seeds for the founding of the Jin Kingdom from the ashes of Wei. He serves under both Cao Cao and later Cao Pi. While loyal to Wei, his ambition was to one day establish his own kingdom.
He is known for his maniacal laughter and insulting friend and foe alike as "Fool!" or "Imbecile!" Prideful of his intellect and believing that he has an unsurpassed wit, he regards Zhuge Liang as a worthy opponent.
-------------------
Line 27:
** [[Demoted to Extra]] - Historically, it happened. It was just omitted 'till 7.
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[Card
* [[Catch Phrase]] - He likes to remind you that you are an ''imbecile''!
* [[Dishing Out Dirt]] - His Tome Special in DW6 is to drop boulders.
Line 35:
** [[Razor Floss]] - His weapon in DW6, which has the strings just emerge from his fingers. He does however use them in his Musou attacks in 7.
* [[Foe Yay]] - With Zhuge Liang.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]
* [[Ho Yay]] - With Cao Pi
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Laughing Mad]] - Whilst well-known for his [[Evil Laugh]] from pretty much DW3 onwards, it was only in DW6 that he got hit with this. Seems to be back on his medication as of DW7.
* [[Lex Lang]] - DW4
* [[The Patriarch]]
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] - Gives these out like candy in Jin's musou mode.
* [[The Rival]] - To Zhuge Liang
* [[Sanity Slippage]] - Related to [[Laughing Mad]], above - he started off in DW6 as very reluctant to take any part in the chaos sweeping the land until being eventually press-ganged by Cao Cao into service, but soon got a taste for ambition from Cao Cao, as well as a [[The Rival|rival]] in Zhuge Liang. [[It Got Worse|It pretty much went downhill from there.]] {{spoiler|Although he never went completely mad; his ending has him quite reasonable, although just the previous scene he took rather too much pleasure in having beaten and killed Cao Cao.}}
Line 48:
* [[The Strategist]] - Probibly Wei's best no less.
* [[Treacherous Advisor]]
* [[Tsundere]] - And how! Just bond with him in
* [[The Unfettered]] - Takes the pragmatist approach of the Cao clan [[Up to Eleven]].
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: His weapon in DW6.

Son of Sima Yi and elder brother to Sima Zhao, Sima Shi is a man with magnificent intelligence who is skilled in both the military arts and various literary studies. Always pressing onwards to the future with a composed focus, he acts as the strategist and commander for his people.
---------
* [[Aloof Big Brother]] - He's normally rather dismissive of Zhao due to his carefree attitude, and tends to boss him around.
** {{spoiler|He thanks him for coming to see him when he's on his death bed.}}
* [[Badass]] - He suffers a sword blow to the face and [[Major Injury Underreaction|just brushes it off as nothing]].
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[Berserk Button]] - Never, EVER steal his meat buns. Also counts as [[Disproportionate Retribution]].
** [[Up to Eleven|Upped to Eleven]] in the [[Downloadable Content|XL Stage]] ''Xtreme Family Feud'', where {{spoiler|Sima Yi is brought into this, and Shi even uses ''Pyrocannons'' against Zhao.}}
* [[Cool Mask]]
* [[Evil Laugh]] - [[Like Father, Like Son]], but he's less of a [[Large Ham]] about it.
* [[Eye Scream]] - The reason why he's wearing that mask around his left eye is due to it being struck by a sword.
* [[Hey,
** This is his third role in KOEI's historical Musou titles (previously being [[Samurai Warriors|Chousokabe Motochika]] and [[Warriors Orochi|Orochi]]).
* [[Ironic Echo]] - In Jin's story:
{{quote|
'''Sima Shi''': You're just leaving it all to me? }}
** Later on when Shi dies:
{{quote|
'''Sima Zhao''': You're just leaving it all to me?
'''Sima Shi''': *chuckles* [[Lampshade Hanging|I heard that somewhere before]]. }}
* [[Like Father, Like Son]] - He's much less hammy, but clearly takes after his dad.
** {{spoiler|He gets sick and dies just like his dad, too...}}
* [[Not So Above It All]] - The ''Dynasty Warriors'' series has a lot of colorful characters. You wouldn't realize it by looking at him, but Shi [[What Do You Mean
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] - Seemingly the Blue Oni (cold and callous) compared with his brother.
* [[Royal Rapier]]
* [[The Strategist]]
* [[The Unfettered]]
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]] - Take a guess...
* [[What Do You Mean

Line 114:
Height: 6'3" (190cm)
Son of Sima Yi and younger brother to Sima Shi, Sima Zhao acts as the light-hearted contrast to his stern older brother. He may act as though he is goofing off, but he supports his brother's desires for unification in their name.
---------------
Line 123:
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]] / [[Idiot Hero]] - Jin's story mode in DW7 paints him as both, simultaneously at that.
** DW8 builds on this, with the historical route showing him shedding the "idiot" part as he's forced to be responsible, and the hypothetical route does so in a more subtle way as he realizes Shi is pushing himself way too hard and tries to keep him safe.
* [[Catch Phrase]] - Zhao says "Mendokuse", which means "What a pain!" in English when he's tasked.
* [[Characterization Marches On]] - Prior to becoming a playable character, Sima Zhao was depicted as "Sima Yi Lite", complete with stealing his father's favorite insult.
* [[Henpecked Husband|Henpecked Boyfriend]] - Some Japanese fanart even shows [[Tsundere|Wang Yuanji]] leading him around on a leash.
* [[Heroic Build]] - Gets to show off that sexy chest.
* [[Hey,
** Also his English VA (Kaiji Tang) may be unknown, but those who played [[Fist of the North Star|Fist Of The North Star: Ken's Rage]] may recognize him as [[Badass|Kenshiro]] himself. Whoa, talk about a difference in personality he played.
** [[Talking to Himself]]: Come ''Musou Orochi 2'', Sima Zhao and Taigong Wang have to hold conversations with each other.
* [[Historical Hero Upgrade]] - More noble in this game than he was in real life.
** Lampshaded after he kills Cao Mao as he says that history would record him as a killer.
*** Slightly subverted at the end of his route, which is also a nod to how Shu's last emperor was allowed to have a peaceful retirement after his surrender.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]] - Positively towers over Yuanji.
* [[Idiot Hair]] - Minor case, not very noticeable outside cutscenes in DW7.
* [[The Messiah]] - Shows shades of this.
** He even borders on being a [[Martial Pacifist]] near the end!
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] - The Red Oni (happy go lucky) compared with his brother.
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords|Rulers Prefer Swords]]
* [[The Scrappy]] - [[In
* [[Stoic Woobie]] - Loses his father and his brother in quick succession and is clearly torn up about it, but doesn't let this stop his advance.

Line 156 ⟶ 157:
Height: 5'3" (160cm)
Wang Yuanji is a caring and gentle woman to the weak and innocent. With her husband Sima Zhao, and any authority figure however, she spares them no sympathy and is rather curt.
-----------------
Line 162 ⟶ 163:
* [[Battle Couple]] - With Sima Zhao
* [[Cleavage Window]] - In her default DW7 outfit.
* [[
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]] - Slowly becomes more tolerant and respectful of Sima Zhao, and by the end they seem quite happy together.
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] - Her outfit evokes this, although semi-subverted since she isn't a loli.
** [[Pimped
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] - Very popular with both the Japanese and Western fanbases.
* [[Eyes of Gold]] - The
** [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[Hey,
** In the English version, [[Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria|Hrist]], [[Persona 3|Mitsuru Kirijo]], and [[Samurai Warriors|Ranmaru/Oichi]]
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]] - Maybe justified, since she seems to be a bit younger than him, but she's still very petite next to her strapping husband.
* [[Like a Son to Me|Like a Daughter to Me]]: Both Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua are quite proud of their daughter-in-law, with Chunhua even going so far as to claim she wished she had a daughter like her instead of her sons.
* [[Lady of War]]
* [[Mukokuseki]]: She provides the series' most blatant example, sporting entirely incongruent amber eyes and ash blonde hair.
* [[Knife Nut|Knife]] [[Paper Fan of Doom|Fan Of Doom]] - She wields throwing daggers, folded into a unique fan.
* [[The Smurfette Principle]] - She's the only female in a kingdom with one big [[Cast Full of Pretty Boys]]. Poor her.
** Or was, until Zhang Chunhua, Sima Yi's wife, was added in DW8.
* [[Tsundere]] - Type B. She is usually rather curt towards Zhao, but gets embarrassed when he teases or compliments her. On other people, however, she's pretty nice. [[Word of God|The developer]] did say she is based on the [[Tsundere]] archetype. And... her quote on being chosen on [[Ensemble Darkhorse|the most popular character ever]] says it all.
{{quote|
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] - Most of the time... she IS a [[Tsundere]] after all.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]] - Nearly Grade S, if only she missed the [[Girlish Pigtails]].
