* BadassArmFold: How he rides said horse.
* BadassBiker: His [[CoolHorse horse]] has handlebars and ''Harley Davidson'' exhaust pipes... [[AnachronismStew in the Sengoku Era]].

** He also does not take kindly to being beaten by Mitsunari, and sets out on a RoaringRampageofRevenge. This is especially prevalent in ''Judge End'', where he's so blinded by his rage that he almost kills Yukimura because he hallucinates that he's Mitsunari. It takes a pep-talk from Kojuro to snap him out of it and bring him to his senses.
* BloodKnight: He frequently takes on one-on-one battles just for the hell of it, whether they're necessary or not, to prove his strength.

-->'''Masamune''': (To Yukimura) [[CrowningMomentOfFunny "Age before beauty, kid."]]

* EyepatchOfPower: Even if you're not into historical accuracy, if you do not put eyepatch on Date Masamune, you're doing it wrong.

* EyepatchOfPower: Masamune is the current '''[[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance God of Eyepatches]]'''.

* HomoeroticSubtext: His retainer Kojuro and rival Yukimura are the most prevalent (in Sanada Yukimura Den, he outright calls him "MY LOVER" in Engrish), but Motochika, Ieyasu, and Katsuie are also noticeable. He's [[LauncherOfAThousandShips shipped]] with everyone though.

* BerserkButton: Harming his followers, ''especially'' Kojuro and (more likely) Yukimura,, will set Masamune off on a bout of UnstoppableRage. Case in point: the majority of Masamune's story path in ''[=SB2=]'' has him chasing after Hanbe for hurting Kojuro. Never mind that Hanbe was aiming for Masamune and Kojuro [[TakingTheBullet took the hit]], never mind that Kojuro was apparently only lightly harmed by said hit (he continues to follow Masamune for the remainder of the story), but just the fact that his faithful retainer was harmed at ''all'' set Masamune on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge which only ended when the entirety of the Toyotomi army had been crushed.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: According to WordOfGod, he's only about '''19'''.
** He also deliberately tries to look mature in comparison to Yukimura who, despite being only a couple years younger, gets treated like a child by Masamune.
