=== [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] ===

[[File:tokugawaieyasu_3486.png|frame]]

 

 

The third unifier, and probably the only sane one between the trio (because Nobunaga is like the personification of evil, Hideyoshi is... freakin' nuts). Unlike the fat turd that most fictions portray, Ieyasu here is somewhat of a [[Bratty Half-Pint]], but despite that possesses quite a lot of wisdom and virtue and love for his people. While not much of a fighter, he makes it up with his [[Humongous Mecha|humongously powerful]] <s>Gundam</s> retainer Honda Tadakatsu.

-----

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Was an NPC in the first game and only became playable a couple of time before he grew into the main character of SB3.

** [[Badass Arm-Fold]]: Does this in cutscenes and is one of his [[Idle Animation|idle animations]].

* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: In ''3'', though his clothes and blocking motions seem to be more boxing.

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]

* [[Battle Aura]]: Weaponizes it with the "Tokugawa Might" technique.

* [[Battle Discretion Shot]]: His battle with Hideyoshi in the ''SB3'' intro takes place off-screen while we follow Mitsunari's point-of-view, who only arrives after Hideyoshi is dead. Exactly how the battle went down is unknown, although Ieyasu (obviously) won.

* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: In ''Sengoku Basara Matsuri'' it is said he's 15 years old!

** And while for all intents and purposes he's an adult, in the anime Shingen still addresses him as Takechiyo, which is his childhood name.

** Lampshaded in ''3'', where his previously reverent soldiers immediately explode into mother-hen mode when "Takechiyo-sama" is apparently kidnapped, and the suspect being the Hojo, they, being led by Tadakatsu, wrecked the whole clan... {{spoiler|only to find Ieyasu just trying to hang around for Sakura-viewing}}.

** Lampshaded by Masamune, who states that he had to grow up at some point.

* [[Charged Attack]]: His attacks can be charged up to go from "Punching things really hard" to "Punching things absurdly hard with added range".

* [[Combat Compliment]]: In the third game, he spends just about every single one of his levels singing his opponent's praises while beating their forces into dust.

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: As of ''3'', Ieyasu is out to unite Japan even if he has to punch every single Japanese person in the face to do it.

* [[Distress Ball]]: Throws it away by ''3'' though.

* [[Extremity Extremist]]: Most of his attacks involves his fists.

* {{spoiler|[[Family-Unfriendly Death]]: Ieyasu is burned alive by Hisahide during his story mode.}}

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Toshiie accused him of kidnapping Matsu so the Maeda is [[Neutral No Longer]] and join him. Ieyasu is flabbergasted because he never gave such orders. {{spoiler|In fact Yoshiaki was the one who did it, to empower the Eastern Army and earn Ieyasu's favour.}}

** Also, despite all his talk of "uniting the country with the power of bonds", he defeats his mentor Hideyoshi and ruins Mitsunari's life by taking away the bond Mitsunari has with his lords.

* [[Young Conqueror]]

One of ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'''s ridiculous yet ''fucking awesome'' presentations. Tadakatsu is a...uh...[[Mobile Suit Gundam|Gundam]]. Or just a [[Humongous Mecha]] [[Anachronism Stew|in the middle of ancient Japan]]. He doesn't talk and mostly lets his massive ass-kicking capabilities do the talking. He's also pretty loyal to Ieyasu. There are, however, times where even he gains some sort of will to fight a [[Worthy Opponent]], showcased in front of the Shimazu clan. In those cases, Ieyasu usually lets him do as he pleases.

* [[The Worf Effect]]: For all his hype and features as shown previously, he is hit ''hard'' with this in the anime, getting blown up first by Nouhime and then by Nobunaga. {{spoiler|He gets better.}}
