''Sengoku Basara'' is, in a way, a copycat of ''[[Samurai Warriors]]'', only made by [[Capcom]]. The main difference is the stylish, ludicrously over-the-top gameplay, characters, designs, and portrayal of Japanese history. While still loosely based on [[Real Life]], they decided to throw most historical accuracies out the window and come up with their own story. They didn't want a historical simulation like [[Koei]] did, they just wanted a new-generation [[Hack and Slash]] with a [[Feudal Japan|Sengoku Period]] setting.

** Also, the war machines that show up as occasional mini-bosses. Motochika seems especially fond of using these against the player. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you... [[Fan Nickname|TOAD-BOAT!]]
* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: Oda Nobunaga. Allow us to present [http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-09/sb-oda-nobunaga2.html this image] as evidence.▼
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Pick a character. Any character...
** Joke items made it even worse, as in [[Blade on a Stick|Toshiie]] using a swordfish or [[Big Fucking Sword|Yoshihiro]] using a bottle of liquor.
Line 187 ⟶ 189:
** Tsuruhime has a skill that allows her to turn her enemies into this.
* [[Insurmountable Waist High Fence]]: Of the Unclearable Debris, Ankle Deep Water of Uncrossability, Adamantium Door and Gentle Slope of Unclimbability types.
* [[It's Showtime!]]: Date Masamune's [[Gratuitous English]] bellow of "Showtime!" is an obvious instance.
▲* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: Oda Nobunaga. Allow us to present [http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-09/sb-oda-nobunaga2.html this image] as evidence.
* [[Japanese Pronouns]]: And ''how''. Aside of the usual assortment of ''watashi'', ''washi'', ''boku'' and ''ore'', it includes such gems as ''soregashi'' (Toshiie), ''sessha'' (Yukimura), ''maro'' (Imagawa), ''ware'' (Motonari), ''wagahai'' (Yoshiaki), ''temae'' (Muneshige), ''shosei'' (Kanbe) and ''yo'' (Nobunaga). Oichi, Matsu and sometimes Nouhime refer to themselves in the third person. Second-person pronouns are equally oddball, with the archaic ''onushi'' (Shingen), ''kiden'' (Nagamasa), ''sonata'' (Kenshin) and ''kei'' (Hisahide) being thrown around a lot alongside of ''anata'', ''omae'' and ''temee''.
* [[Japanese Honorifics]]: Most notable is Yukimura who speaks quite archaically and extremely politely towards everyone, addressing them with the suffix '-dono' which, in that era, was supposed to be only used with equals or higher. He even speaks like this to Kasuga and Masamune's soldiers!
