History Characters / OdaNobunaNoYabou

* ActionGirl: Borderline to FauxActionGirl, since unlike most of the other {{ActionGirl}}s in this series, she doesn't seem to do very well in combat, despite her reputation.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold

* {{Badass}}

* FauxActionGirl: Unlike most of the other {{ActionGirl}}s in this series, she doesn't seem to do very well in combat, despite her reputation.

* ArtisticAge: already has appearance of middle-aged to old man when he died. Historically, he should've just about 24 years around Battle of Okehazama.

* HappilyAdopted

* SwordAndGun: Uses a katana and a matchlock rifle.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: As noted by Yoshiharu...
-->"The Katsuie I know from my games is an old guy with a beard..."

* BladeOnAStick[=/=]AnAxeToGrind: Her WeaponOfChoice in battle is an halberd. A very overtly European-style halberd. More plausible than you might initially think, given that Nobuna is clearly very willing to supply foreign weapons to her soldiers.

* TheBigGirl

* BladeOnAStick: She uses naginata in combat.

* {{Mooks}}: She leads the Kawanamishu. They consist of over-protective old men, much to Yoshiharu's annoyance.

* [[spoiler: TakingTheBullet]]: For Yoshiharu in episode 6.

** MasterOfIllusion

* ManipulativeBastard

* EvilSorcerer

* HeelFaceTurn: Joins up with Nobuna's forces after surrendering. If she follows the pattern of her historical counterpart, [[spoiler:she'll be switching sides again.]]

* CardCarryingVillain: Literal example.

Historically speaking, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nene_(aristocrat) Nene]] was the wife of UsefulNotes/ToyotomiHideyoshi. Here, she is a [[TokenMiniMoe young girl]] and Yoshiharu's neighbor. Her father had shown interest to marry her to Yoshiharu which he rejected.

* AmazonBrigade: He has one. Yoshiharu is not amused.

* BodyguardBabes

* MommasBoy

* AngstWhatAngst: He seems to have relatively no problem with being sent back four-hundred years to the past. It might have something to do with his [[GenreSavvy genre-savviness]] and love for Sengoku period.

* FanNickname: Bro-emon.

* BadassDecay: Her real-life counterpart was actually quite a {{Badass}}.

* ActorAllusion: He shares his EvilLaugh with [[Anime/{{Brave10}} another incarnation of Hanzo]].

* TheBigGuy

* TheSmartGuy

-->'''Voiced by:''' EmiriKatou

** BigBadassWolf: which easily got "killed" by Inuchiyo.

-->'''Voiced by:''' MisatoFukuen

-->'''Voiced by:''' KiyoyukiYanada

-->'''Voiced by:''' HitomiNabatame

-->'''Voiced by:''' RinaSato

-->'''Voiced by:''' MitsukiSaiga

-->'''Voiced by:''' KanaeIto

->''"With no idea of how to get home, I'll have to survive here. It sucks that it's not [[OdaNobunaga Nobunaga]], just some snippy little girl named Nobuna, but saving a pretty girl and conquering Japan doesn't sound so bad."''

* AscendedFanboy: He's a huge fan of OdaNobunaga, so he knows a lot about the events of this time period, even if its an AlternateHistory. Thankfully the situation is similar enough that he's able to predict with some reasonable success about the outcome of various events he encounters.

** Hattori Hanzo lets him go because of this. He could have easily killed Yoshiharu, but Hanzo seemed to know something about Yoshiharu's "prophetic powers" and decided to let Yoshiharu go (and turn a blind eye to Oda's ambush) so that his lord [[TokugawaIeyasu Motoyasu]] could regain independence.

** Episode 1: "Kinoshita Tokichirou? Doesn't that mean you are ToyotomiHideyoshi?!"

* YouWillBeBeethoven: Inadvertently takes [[ToyotomiHideyoshi Toyotomi Hideyoshi's]] place in history after the former gives his life to save him.

* {{Badass}}: Despite being a girl, she still shows many of OdaNobunaga's character traits. That makes her a badass.

* GenderFlip: Of OdaNobunaga

->''"[[ToyotomiHideyoshi He]] is the trunk, and I am the vine hiding in its shade. Together we will make our way in the world. That's our promise."''

* CompositeCharacter: She is a female fusion between [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachisuka_Masakatsu Hachisuka Masakatsu]], [[ToyotomiHideyoshi Hideyoshi]]'s trusted subordinate, and UsefulNotes/IshikawaGoemon, a ninja thief executed for trying to assassinate Hideyoshi.

![[TokugawaIeyasu Matsudaira Motoyasu]]

A meek servant of the Imagawa clan and the ruler of Mikawa Province which was under Imagawa's rules. In the future, she would become known as TokugawaIeyasu.

* SacrificialLion: He was the freaking ToyotomiHideyoshi!

* {{Determinator}}: Not even injury dealt by HattoriHanzo can break his resolve to meet Nobuna.

** UsefulNotes/HattoriHanzo lets him go because of this. He could have easily killed Yoshiharu, but Hanzo seemed to know something about Yoshiharu's "prophetic powers" and decided to let Yoshiharu go (and turn a blind eye to Oda's ambush) so that his lord [[TokugawaIeyasu Motoyasu]] could regain independence.

!HattoriHanzo

An OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who suddenly found himself in the [[JidaiGeki Sengoku Era]]. As he got caught in the middle of battle, the person who is later known as ToyotomiHideyoshi saved him at the cost of his life. He later encountered Oda Nobuna, a female version of the legendary OdaNobunaga. Determined to bring history to the right course, he took Hideyoshi's place and worked under Nobuna who nicknamed him "Saru" (Monkey). This mirrors the real-life Hideyoshi's nickname of "Kosaru" (Little Monkey).

** HattoriHanzo lets him go because of this. He could have easily killed Yoshiharu, but Hanzo seemed to know something about Yoshiharu's "prophetic powers" and decided to let Yoshiharu go (and turn a blind eye to Oda's ambush) so that his lord [[TokugawaIeyasu Motoyasu]] could regain independence.

* HaremSeeker: When [[ToyotomiHideyoshi Kinoshita Tokichirou]] asked Yoshiharu to carry on his dreams when he died in the latter's arms, Yoshiharu clearly understood "the dreams" to not only unite Japan, but ''also'' to have all 14 wives Hideyoshi historically had.

A {{Gender flip}}ped version of OdaNobunaga, she is the daimyo of Owari Province. As quoted above, she has a great ambition of unifying Japan and eventually conquering the world. Despite their many similarities, she is notably more emotional and naive than her historical counterpart. She seems to harbor special feelings toward Yoshiharu due to him being the first person to ever understand her ambition ([[{{Tsundere}} not that she would admit that]]).

![[AkechiMitsuhide Akechi "Juubei" Mitsuhide]]

! [[DateMasamune Date "Bontenmaru" Masamune]]

!TakedaShingen

![[ToyotomiHideyoshi Kinoshita Tokichirou]]

The original Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the (supposed) unifier of Japan. He died by stray bullet when trying to save Yoshiharu in a battle. In his last moment, he entrusted his dreams to Yoshiharu.

Historically speaking, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nene_(aristocrat) Nene]] was the wife of ToyotomiHideyoshi. Here, she is a [[TokenMiniMoe young girl]] and Yoshiharu's neighbor. Her father had shown interest to marry her to Yoshiharu which he rejected.

** BadassMustache

** BadassMustache: like father like son

* NietzscheWannabe:
-->''"My wish is to burn this whole country to the ground."''

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: She averted SheWhoMustNotBeSeen, below, because she was never referred as the empress. While the description above would cause any reasonable Japanese to recognize her as the empress, nobody referred her as such in-universe.
* SheWhoMustNotBeSeen: Averted, somewhat: As a rule of thumb, The Emperor of Japan (the actual, historical or even fictitious ones) never appear or ever being mentioned by name in any Japanese media outside news stories and government propaganda. For avoid offending the Japanese Imperial Family, Himiko is a female emperor, not to mention being a CompositeCharacter of many of them-- and on top of all, she wasn't directly referred as one (see NoCelebritiesWereHarmed, above).

* GenderFlip: of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lu%C3%ADs_Fr%C3%B3is Luís Fróis]]

** [[spoiler:Later he was sent off as Nobuna "sister" [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oichi Oichi]]--historically existed but not in this universe--to marry [[SweetPollyOliver Asai Nagamasa]]. This marriage historically existed, if not {{Gender Flip}}ped.]]

* KidAnova: His AmazonBrigade demands "some time together with him" after helping the Oda army locate the Imakawa camp. Later he knocks up Nagamasa.

* CoolBigSis: for Nene.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Despite knowing that they might change the future and thus null his knowlege of his future, he keeps trying to prevent historical tragedies from occuring for the happiness of people he cares about. Especially for Nobuna.

* [[spoiler: TakingTheBullet]]: for Yoshiharu in episode 6.

-->'''Episode 3:'''"We will steal the Viper of Mino."
-->'''Episode 4:'''to Yoshiharu: "We will follow you into hell itself."

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He is quite agile in novels and manga: being able to dodge spears and arrows like a monkey, he was even [[MistakenForBadass mistaken for ninja]] by Imagawa Yoshimoto. The explanation of that feat is that [[IKnowMortalKombat he was good at playing dodge ball during middle school]].

* {{Bishonen}}, [[spoiler: until the reveal of [[SweetPollyOliver "his" actual gender,]] at least.]]

* {{Expy}}: Many viewers have noted that he looks a lot like [[FateStayNight Servant Assassin]].

* TheRival: to Yoshiharu.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Rumi Ookubo

* {{Yandere}}: Shows indications of this. Surprisingly, [[LesYay it's Nobuna she has a crush on]]. [[spoiler:And later on, her affection turns to Yoshiharu instead, but she is still in denial. As of what's going to be of that later, [[OhCrap let us hope]] Yoshiharu does something about ''Honnouji''[[hottip:*:Nobunaga's forced suicide at Mitsuhide's hands, for those unfamiliar with Japanese history.]] later on once she ''[[MurderTheHypotenuse truly realizes her own feelings]]...'']]
