Sengoku Basara: Difference between revisions

* [[Awesomeness Meter]]: How your combos are rated.

* [[Badass]]: All the fighters from the game series. Being a [[Mook]] there is not a recipe for a long and happy life, unless your commander happens to be one of said badasses. Let us count the ways...

** [[Badass Army]]: Sorta averted for you as the playable character......for you've got plenty of moves [[Person of Mass Destruction|to butcher'em mooks without breaking a sweat]].

** [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: Masamune and Kojuro, Yukimura and Sasuke, Keiji and Magoichi

** [[Badass Nickname]]: From The Tiger of Kai, to The One Eyed Dragon, an awesome nickname is practically a badass necessity.

* [[Bash Brothers]]: Masamune and Kojuro.

* [[Battle Couple]]: Toshiie and Matsu, Nagamasa and Oichi, Nobunaga and Nouhime. Kenshin and Kasuga would count, if they only got together before their endings, in which case the wars have ended.

* [[BFG]]: Xavi, Nouhime, Magoichi.

* [[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.

* [[Instant Fanclub]]: I-TSU-KI-CHAAAAANNNN!!!

** Tsuruhime has a skill that allows her to turn her enemies into this.

* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|Pre Asskicking One Liners]]

* [[Purely Aesthetic Era]]

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Masamune as the Blue Oni, Yukimura as the Red Oni. The Shingen/Kenshin rivalry also sorta counts (with Shingen as Red Oni, Kenshin as Blue Oni).

* [[Redshirt Army]]: The ordinary soldiers at times seem like nothing more than ablative meat shields for the commanders.

* [[The Remnant]]: In ''Samurai Heroes'', Mitsunari Ishida is continuing in the name of Hideyoshi. More explicitly, Oichi leads the "Oda Remnant" forces. Or rather the Oda Remnants forcefully pulled Oichi back from her sleep and had her become their figurehead. Also, Sorin's faction is apparently all that's left of Xavi's converts.

* [[Risk Style Map]]

* [[Serial Escalation]]: This game ''revels'' in its crazy fighting game action. For example, Masamune wields six swords. Not bad to start with, however this obviously just wasn't enough, so one of his alternate weapons has three blades to each hilt, making a grand total of ''18'' swords. How's that eh?

* [[Serrated Blade of Pain]]: Yoshihiro's default [[BFS]].

** Also Tadakatsu is a blatant shoutout to ''[[Gundam]]''.

*** To the point that several of his scenes in the anime were lifted straight from ''[[Gundam 00|Gundam Exia.]]''

** {{spoiler|His ultimate weapon is a pair of incredibly plain-looking katanas however.}}

* [[World of Badass]]: Where even the ''horses'' are [[Badass]].

* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Ieyasu can pull off a rather thunderous elbow drop, and Kanbe can do a [[Street Fighter|Final Atomic Buster]] that causes [[Blow You Away|a localized tornado]] on impact, dragging in nearby grunts to set them up for massive combos.

* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Masamune and Yukimura are 19 and 17 respectively, though they certainly don't look it. Masamune generally acts very maturely for his age too, as does Yukimura on occasion.

 

* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: "{{spoiler|The Tiger of Kai Dies at Midaigawa}}," my ass!

** {{spoiler|Subverted quite painfully with the second episode of the second season being [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]].}}

* [[No One Could Survive That]]: Notice that the smoking black crater where {{spoiler|Honda}} used to be is suspiciously lacking a dead body at its center...

** Also, Kenshin gets {{spoiler|shot ''twice'' in the chest by Nouhime and lives to fight again}}. Sengoku Era medicine must be very good.

* [[Post Dramatic Stress Disorder]]: Masamune is miles away from the battlefield before anyone even ''realizes'' that {{spoiler|he was shot in the side after the fight with Nagamasa}}.

* [[Rain of Arrows]]: How Ranmaru gets rid of Yoshimoto's Kagemusha. Also his main attack. It doesn't work so well against Kojuro or Masamune.

* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Nobunaga spends a good ten minutes informing Masamune and Yukimura how foolish they are for thinking they could defeat him. {{spoiler|Naturally, they defeat him}}.

* [[The Rival]]: Yukimura considers Masamune his Only [[Worthy Opponent]]/One True Rival, and vice-versa. So fitting are they for this trope that they're even featured in the image for the main page.

* [[Sparkling Stream of Tears]]: Oichi and Ieyasu do this {{spoiler|as they cry for Nagamasa and Tadakatsu, respectively}}.

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Oh ''hell'' yes.

** The second season continues this, only this time around the whole cast gets to participate.

* [[Sword Limbo]]: Mitsuhide does this during his fight against the two heroes in Episode 11.
