History Characters / SengokuBasaraToyotomiClan

-->'''Ieyasu:''' "Magoichi... What is your view of Mitsunari?"\\
'''Magoichi:''' "An ignorant man full of pretension and shortcomings... with no competence in deception."

* CatchPhrase: The words "misery" or "suffering" generally comes up fairly often whenever he's speaking.

* PsychicPowers

* StanceSystem: Can switch between using his blades or legs.

* {{Bishounen}}: Even ''[[VainSorceress Kyogoku]] [[ItsAllAboutMe Maria]]'' says that she would rather not do anything to damage Hanbe's face. This puts him up there with '''[[AmbiguousGender Kenshin]]''' in terms of prettiness.
** Driven home even further in the ''Cross'' manga, where in one chapter Hanbe and Kenshin have a duel as Hideyoshi and Kasuga watch and ''argue'' about who is the most graceful.

* SenpaiKohai: Enthusiastically plays the role of ''kohai'' to Yukimura, whom Sakon calls "Sanada-san".

* JiveTurkey: Speaks in a modern Japanese equivalent. To the point that [[{{Keigo}} Yukimura]] barely understands a word he says.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Delivers one of these to Keiji in the fourth game.

* PoisonousFriend: He's the one who encourages Mitsunari to be so vicious and destructive, taking advantage of his fragile mental state.

* NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech: Delivers a pretty epic one in ''Judge End''.

** And "'''DAATEEE MAASAAAMUUUNEEEEEE!!!'''" in the movie...

** [[spoiler:His red ending, after he kills Ieyasu]]. Due to the BlackBlood, some fans joked that it's just his mascara running.

** In [[spoiler:Sakon's anime route in ''[=SB4=]'',]] after finding out that [[spoiler:Ieyasu killed Hideyoshi and Hanbe]].

* AwesomeButImpractical: His "Reverence" super art, without his personal kanji equipment. Mitsunari attacks become wide arching swings, and the more times his enemies are hit, the faster he is. However, should he miss or take any damage, he trips, reverts back to normal, and becomes vulnerable for a while. Meanwhile, dishing out the damage and combos in his normal mode via his other skills are comparatively more effective.
* AxCrazy: In his less stable moments Mitsunari displays an almost complete disregard for human life, and may even burst into laughter when cutting down everything that moves.

* StabTheSky: Does this by punching into the air for an introduction in the anime, causing the clouds above him to part and a ray of light to shine down while the rest of the battlefield are stuck under an overcast sky... WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic

* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:He dies in Mitsunari's arms in ''Bloody Angel''. After Mitsunari stabbed him.]]

* SuperMode: His "Reverence" super art, which takes away his ability to block, dodge and do anything but attack in return for knockback and increased attack speed and damage. With his special equipment, Mitsunari can stay in this mode permanently and also run while in it, which takes his FragileSpeedster nature even further and lets him outrun horses on foot.

** In Yoshitsugu's final blue path map, [[spoiler:Motonari asks Yoshitsugu what his objective is. Yoshitsugu answers that it's to bring misery to all humans. Motonari asks if this includes him. Yoshitsugu replies that it does. Motonari then asks if this includes Yoshitsugu himself. Yoshitsugu replies that it does. Motonari then asks if this includes Mitsunari. Yoshitsugu gets stunned into silence and is unable to answer.]] He spends the entire map mulling this over.

* BerserkButton: Yoshitsugu is a [[EvilLaugh cackling villain]] who resents Ieyasu and the world at large, maintains a FauxAffablyEvil front, and wants to inject misery and suffering into everything, himself included...but not Mitsunari. Never Mitsunari. And if anyone ''does'' threaten, betray, or harm Mitsunari in any way (as in Motonari's blue path), expect Yoshitsugu to [[VillainousBreakdown well-and-truly lose it]].

* BreakoutCharacter: He was introduced as a new poster boy, but his startling popularity vastly outstripped the main character, Ieyasu, and has resulted in him getting his own spin-off manga.
** Mitsunari was revealed as one of the main characters of ''Sengoku Basara 4'', thus beating out several much more established characters like Yukimura.
* TheBrute: It seems that his primary role in the Toyotomi Army is just to slaughter as much troops as possible.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Masamune's entire red story in ''[=SB3=]'' is a revenge-driven rampage against Mitsunari for defeating and humiliating him. Mitsunari doesn't even remember who he is.

* FriendOrFoe: Mitsunari's emotional frailty gives him a ''terrible'' tendency to do this in the fourth game, to the point where [[spoiler:he kills Sakon and even Hanbe in ''their respective stories''. Both expose how Mitsunari isn't in control of his feelings.]] Just goes to show how far he will go for Hideyoshi.

* LaughingMad: [[spoiler:After finally killing Ieyasu.]] However he quickly realises that he has just destroyed his only reason for living and has a heart-rending mental breakdown.
** He can also be heard laughing in the background during Magoichi's blue ending. [[spoiler:This time without the associated breakdown.]]

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Is revealed to feel this way about Ieyasu. [[spoiler:Hisahide decides that the greatest despair he can inflict on Mitsunari is to rob him of his revenge by killing Ieyasu.]]
* PerpetualFrowner: He only smiles properly once in the entire third game, [[spoiler:and that was in Yoshitsugu's imagination]].
** Yet oddly enough he sports a PsychoticSmirk in the opening movie.

* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Sakon Shima. But when with Ieyasu, he is the red to Ieyasu blue oni. As shown the interaction, he prefer frontal and reckless method.

* SayMyName: "'''IIIEEEEYAAAASUUUU!!!'''"

* TearsOfBlood: [[spoiler:His story mode ending, after he kills Ieyasu.]] Due to the BlackBlood, some fans joked that it's just his mascara running.

** In [[spoiler:Sakon's anime route in ''[=SB4=]'',]] after finding out that [[spoiler:Ieyasu's killed Hideyoshi and Hanbe]].

--> '''Sakon:''' "Concentrate, Mitsunari-sama! Concentraaaaaaaaaaate!"
--> '''Mitsunari:''' "If you died, all of my distractions would disappear."

* ShesGotLegs: Mitsunari's long and slender legs are a rare male example, as the anime and ''particularly'' the third manga like to [[FemaleGaze emphasize]].

--> '''Yoshitsugu''': "Oh dear. Mitsunari, I'm afraid I have some dreadful news, so you may wish to calm down for a moment and... n-n-not that you ''need'' to calm down..."

* NiceHat: His helmet has a giant butterfly on it!

* SteppingStonesInTheSky: He takes this UpToEleven in the manga, when he slashes a group of soldiers into the air then uses them as stepping stones to reach a second-floor balcony.

* FriendlyEnemy: Combined with NotSoDifferent, as their roles could have easily been reversed. Sakon can't leave Katsuie alone because of it.
** Sakon's generally nice (or acts silly at the least) towards nearly anyone he faces, the only real exceptions being Matsunaga (who he holds a grudge towards), Ieyasu (for betraying Mitsunari) and Yoshiaki (whom he believes branding a 'cheater bastard' would be an [[InsultToRocks insult to other cheater bastards]] - this includes his master's ArchEnemy).
