Line 18:
* [[Dead Person Conversation]]: {{spoiler|Several times in the anime with Oichi.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Died in Your Arms Tonight]]: In the anime. Also the ''Chronicle Heroes'' opening.}}
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Spinning]]: Nagamasa's moves in the game have a lot of spinning on his part.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Has one after Oichi is revealed to be a spy and has to be snapped out of it by some peasants before he attempts to get her back.
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: He refuses to break his alliance with Oda and join the good guys. It doesn't go well for him...
Line 29:
* [[Knight Templar]]: Is portrayed as one of these in later games, where he will deem anything and everything evil and turns into somewhat of a hypocrite.
* [[Large Ham]]: Where justice in involved, speaking quietly just isn't good enough!
* [[Light 'Em Up]]
* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]: Has a small fold-out one worn on his arm that also has attack properties.
* [[Nice Hat]]: His distinctive helmet has a horsetail crest on it.
* [[Noble Bigot]]: Nagamasa genuinely wants to do good, but it doesn't occur to him that in trying to eradicate everyone he doesn't approve of he's contradicting himself.
Line 51:
{{quote| ''"Everyone's dying. This too is Ichi's fault..."''}}
 
Hoo boy, where do we start? Oichi is the introverted younger sister of Nobunaga, who got sent off to marry Azai Nagamasa. Debuts in ''SB2'' as an NPC, but gained such a massive following she is made a playable character in ''[[Expansion Pack|Heroes]]''. She seems to think that everything bad in the world is ''her fault''. And with a brother like [[Card -Carrying Villain|Nobunaga]], [[It Got Worse|it always get worse]]. She also has dark powers which can possess her and turn her into a psychotic murderer, but she usually keeps those in check... unless she's pushed too far.
 
And yet, the universe seems to want her to be pushed beyond that line. Her story revolves about her getting possessed by her powers after {{spoiler|Nagamasa's [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to save her and Nobunaga making her commit lots of atrocities she didn't want to, culminating in [[Kill 'Em All|killing Nobunaga and all his aides]], and then getting killed by a falling ceiling... with a heart-wrenching [[Image Song]] at that}}. The anime follows a similar route too, where {{spoiler|she gets tricked by Mitsuhide into warning Nagamasa of impending danger, only for Mitsuhide to turn back against his words... and kill Nagamasa in front of her. She makes a last-minute [[Heel Face Turn]] and kills Nouhime, before being murdered by Nobunaga.}}
 
She appears in ''Sengoku Basara 3'', once again proving her [[Popularity Power]]. However, not only does she now lead the remnants of Nobunaga's army (who have chosen her as his successor), she has discarded her naginata and utilizes only her demon hands. Her storyline was taken from the canon story ({{spoiler|Nagamasa's death}}) up until the point before she snapped, where she purposely lost her memories to avoid facing the extremely harsh reality and [[Extreme Doormat|is now obeying whoever gives her orders.]]
Line 99:
* [[The Mole]]: In the anime, {{spoiler|this was the whole reason she was married to Nagamasa in the first place. However, she falls in love with him for real, and cannot carry out her duties.}}
* [[The Nicknamer]]: "Lord Happy" and "Lord Grumpy" for Ieyasu and Mitsunari, and "Lord Lightning" and "Lord Flame" for Masamune and Yukimura, respectively. Also "White Bird" for Tsuruhime.
* [[Nightmare Fuel StationattendantStation Attendant]]: Oh lord, Oichi... Thought she was scary enough in ''SB2''? ''SB3'' cranks it [[Up to Eleven]]. From the way she moves like a dead human puppet, dark hands cracking up skulls of unfortunate mooks, to playing with said hands while [[Ironic Nursery Tune|singing a haunting song]], complete with distorted audio when she speaks making her feel like she was out of a Japanese horror film. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_xgMqYZz0E Just see for yourself.]
** Half the time when you block with her she whispers in a quiet voice "''kill me!''" It's really creepy.
** Her stages are just as bad, with the complete darkness and the shit-scary music.
Line 106:
* [[Psychopathic Manchild|Psychopathic Woman Child]]: She's not entirely coherent in the third game.
* [[Psycho Supporter]]: In the Eastern Army path, she becomes one to Ieyasu. He's actually quite uncomfortable about it.
* [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin]]
* [[Red Baron]]: The Demon Queen of the Fifth Heaven in the third game.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: In ''Heroes'', she dies after {{spoiler|killing her brother and his subordinates}}. ''SB3'' retcons this into saying that she was the [[Sole Survivor]].
Line 118:
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: In ''Samurai Heroes''. Her attack and defence scores are quite subpar and she moves and attacks slowly, especially in regards to cooldown. However, all her moves have very good range and area-of-effect and involve grabbing, throwing or locking down the enemy's movement, and her shadow element gives her an effective [[Instant Death Radius]] against mooks.
* [[Stringy Haired Ghost Girl]]: She bears similarities to this, especially in the third game, including her long black hair, pale skin, haunting voice and hellish powers.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
* [[Third Person Person]]: Makes her seem meek and child-like.
* [[Token Good Teammate]]: Well, she used to be amongst the Oda clan. And even then, compared to [[Evil Overlord|Nobunaga]], [[Psycho for Hire|Mitsuhide]], [[Psycho Supporter|Nouhime]] and [[Horrible Judge of Character|Ranmaru]]...
Line 128:
* [[What Have I Done]]: {{spoiler|Her story ending in ''Heroes'', after she goes beserk and kills Nobunaga. She dies herself when the building collapses.}}
* [[Worlds Most Beautiful Woman]]: Has inherited her real life counterpart's status as the most beautiful woman in Japan.
* [[Yank the DogsDog's Chain]]: After having some sense beaten into her during her second stage, the dark powers around her recede completely, she stands straight under her own power and she starts calling out to people, disoriented but entirely lucid for the first time all game. {{spoiler|It lasts about 30 seconds before Tenkai kills her to revive Nobunaga.}}
