Sengoku Basara/Characters/Takeda Clan: Difference between revisions

=== Takeda Shingen ===

[[File:takedashingen_9249.png|frame]]

 

 

Head of the Takeda from Kai Province, a [[Hot-Blooded]] old man whose fist sets things on fire. He is also known for his strategic genius too, being the rival of Uesugi "God of War" Kenshin. He has something like a father-son relationship with Yukimura. Wields a huge, mean axe on fire, and [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|is too awesome for one horse so rides two instead]].

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: His sheer manliness has been known to cause magma explosions.

* [[Super Mode]]: His Fuurinkazan mode in ''Utage''.

** Which, to be fair, [[Fridge Brilliance|it may very well be]]. Manstravaganza, anyone?

** He tries to educate Yukimura to prepare him for the day he will take over his place as leader of the Takeda army. He's just a bit... eccentric about it.

=== [[Sanada Yukimura]] ===

Takeda Shingen's most loyal vassal and [[Hot-Blooded]] to a fault, he charges fearlessly into battle with two spears...[[Rule of Cool|which he dual wields.]] He is also the rival of Date Masamune, [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|whose blue colors are a distinct contrast to Yukimura's red.]]

* [[Keigo]]: Yukimura is notable for his very archaic and humble speech patterns (unlike Masamune or Keiji). He addresses ''everyone'' with respectful [[Japanese Honorifics|honorifics (such as "-dono")]] and punctuates his sentences with "de gozaimasuru" and "de gozaru", both very old and self-effacing versions of "desu". The only one he doesn't talk like that with is Sasuke, who is effectively his retainer, and he's been known to drop the keigo when he's supremely pissed.

* [[Large Ham]]

** In the dub, replace "OYAKATA-SAMA" with "YOUR LORDSHIP!"

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Girls love his chest revealing jacket... also his anime design and the newest releases of official figures aren't helping him much by [[media:yukimura_9446.jpg|exposing his pelvic bones.]]

* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Edging towards [[Fragile Speedster]]/[[Glass Cannon]]. He has less attack and defence than Masamune and no ranged attacks, but his attack and movement speeds and his reach are higher and (in the third game) he has the ability to [[Combo]] near infinitely due to finishing all his ground attacks with a forward dash.

* [[No Indoor Voice]]: Except when he's ruminating.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: A drama CD reveals that his father is dead, and his mother is never mentioned.

* [[Sticks to the Back]]: His spears, apparently.

* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Extra material gave him a fondness for dango, which the fandom then turned into his [[Trademark Favourite Food]]. In the second game, the Maedas bribed him with sweets.

** Also happens in the second season of the anime, as a result of him overcoming his [[Heroic BSOD]].

* [[Undying Loyalty]]

=== [[Sarutobi Sasuke]] ===

[[File:sarutobisasuke_2090.png|frame]]

 

 

One of the Sanada Ten Braves, he is a ninja in the service of Takeda and often assists Yukimura. Sasuke is a jovial and laid back ninja, which puts him at odds with Kasuga, with whom he shares a friendly rivalry (though she doesn't look at it that way). However when the time calls, [[Let's Get Dangerous|he can be deadly serious.]]

** [[Ninja Log]]: Uses this on Shingen when Kasuga attacks him during ''Battle Heroes'' opening.

** [[Flash Step]]

* [[Me's a Crowd]]: Tends to employ shadow clones in fights. He also interacts with them.

* [[Master of Disguise]]: He has disguised himself as various people, including Yukimura, during Shingen's special "training". Of course, Yukimura [[Idiot Hero|doesn't suspect a thing]]...

* [[The Tease]]: Predominately towards Kasuga, but virtually no one is safe from his snark.

* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: {{spoiler|In ''Utage'' he reveals that he sees dispensable people as nothing more than "monkeys".}}
