History Characters / SengokuBasaraOdaClan

* TheArcher: Uses a bow and arrow as his main weapon. Unlike Tsuruhime however, the range for his regular attacks is actually quite short.

* CatchPhrase: He's fond of saying "This was inevitable", which was historically his final words.

%%* DemonKingNobunaga: His entire gimmick revolve around this trope.

* BonusBoss: Basically this in the third game, where his stage is only unlocked for other characters after Oichi beats him as a TrueFinalBoss.

* {{Bishounen}}: Although, his apparent youth and beauty only make him more unsettling.

* {{Bishonen}}: Yep, this is the first time Katsuie is NOT a boisterous, muscle-bound warrior.

* ItAmusedMe: His main motivation in the fourth game.
* IWasQuiteALooker: [[http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-09/sb-oda-nobunaga2.html Too bad young Nobunaga didn't make it into the actual game.]]
* LargeHam: [[WorldOfHam Even by the standards of the series]].

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Loves giving these.

* SinisterScimitar: Looks more like a falchion, but still fits.

* CoDragons: With Ranmaru.

* PlayingWithFire

* WeakButSkilled

* CoDragons: With Nohime, or occasionally Mitsuhide.

* ObviouslyEvil: Almost as bad as Nobunaga.

* ShesGotLegs: Especially in the anime. Her outfit bares little else, making sure they are suitably emphasised.

* BadassMustache: Has an eeevil moustache.

** Mitsuhide states that Nobunaga would be sad if Ranmaru died, which officially makes him the person Nobunaga cares most about in the whole universe. Also, Nohime sounds utterly devastated in the battle of Azuchi castle in ''[=SB2]'' if he dies, and Nobunaga himself express disbelief.

Imagine every single EvilOverlord trope that one can ever use. Good. Now turn it UpToEleven. You've got the ''Sengoku Basara'' version of Oda Nobunaga. Uses a [[SwordAndGun Sword And]] SawedOffShotgun combo in combat, along with his BadassCape. His main goal throughout the series is pretty much to, you guessed it, TakeOverTheWorld (starting with Japan) and run everybody into the ground.

* LightningBruiser[=/=]MasterOfAll: Moves and hits incredibly fast and is top-tier to above-average in practically every category.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: This is one man who does ''not'' care for Public Relations; everybody wants a piece of him and that's the way he likes it. Given that the closest he's got to a chief diplomat is ''Mitsuhide''...

* GoOutWithASmile: In the anime at least.

* GoOutWithASmile: In [[spoiler:the anime]]. While ''begging for more''.

* HairDecorations: To the nines, including a comb, a ribbon, and a wisteria hairpin.

* [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade Historical Hero Downgrade]]: ''Sengoku Basara'' is one of the very few media where Mitsuhide is downright villainous and wicked. Keep in mind that Capcom did portray him in a better light in ''Franchise/{{Onimusha}}'', however.

* LaughablyEvil: It's kind of hard ''not'' to at least chuckle at how ObviouslyEvil Nobunaga is in this series. Even the ''Franchise/{{Onimusha}}'' version isn't this over-the-top, and that one became the ''king of hell''.

* ObviouslyEvil: Does he really look like anything else? TropesAreNotBad, however, it fits the over the top tone of the series, and it's one way to establish the great danger Nobunaga presents to the world.

He returns in the third game, having escaped from hell with a set of new powers and the desire to tear this world a new asshole. [[OhCrap Well, that's just great.]]
