Sengoku Basara/Characters/Takeda Clan: Difference between revisions

* {{spoiler|[[The Obi-Wan]]: In ''Basara 3'', losing him is a major part of Yukimura's arc.}}

** {{spoiler|This almost happens in the anime as well, but he recovered. It happens in the movie too.}}

** [[Unexplained Recovery]]: So how did he beat that crippling illness? [[Hand Wave|He's just that awesome]].

* [[Red Baron]]: The Tiger of Kai.

** 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.

* [[Warrior Poet]]: After battle, Shingen tends to pay tribute to his fallen adversaries by reciting some poetry.

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Rides two horses while standing on both saddles, axe being put down on their necks, and these horses can ''run on walls'', and Shingen ''defies gravity'' by standing still.

* [[Actor Allusion]]: [[Devil May Cry|Nero and Dante's]] battle in ''Devil May Cry 4'' was merely finishing what was started in Ancient Japan.

* [[Badass]]

** [[Badass Longcoat]]: Gets one in the movie. At one point it [[The Coats Are Off|comes off]].

** [[Badass in Distress]]: In one episode Oichi's demon hands get a hold of him, and, not wanting to attack her, he spends some time being manhandled before eventually fighting them off. More importantly, it was a great opportunity to [[Fan Service|have the demon hands roam over his naked torso]] while he [[Looks Like She Is Enjoying It|makes rather suggestive facial expressions]].

* [[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.

* [[Red Baron]]: The Young Tiger, Red Riger or The Tiger's Cub, after his master.

* [[The Rival]]/ [[Worthy Opponent]]: To Masamune.

* [[Screaming Warrior]]: Good grief, boy's got some lungs!

** In a seiyuu event where they had to switch roles for a few scenes, the seiyuu who had to voice Yukimura said they now felt sorry for Hoshi.

* [[Skilled but Naive]]: Pretty much defines him in terms of competence. The reason Yukimura's not considered one of the strongest opponents around is that while he has lots of potential, he simply hasn't had enough battle experience.

* [[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.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Played in ''Samurai Heroes''.

* [[Bridal Carry]]: Does it multiple times in the anime. Rescuing people basically becomes his trademark.

* [[Character Tics]]: Has a peculiar habit of assuming a half sitting, half standing position where he balances on one leg and rests the other on his opposite knee. Just how he manages to hold this position for long periods of time is a mystery.

* {{spoiler|[[Dark and Troubled Past]]}}: Implied. All we know is that ''a lot'' of people died.

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: One of the few examples in the series.
