->''"Let us unite, and form a bond."''
The third unifier, and probably the only sane one between the trio (because Nobunaga is like the personification of evil, Hideyoshi is... freakin' nuts). Unlike the fat turd that most fictions portray, Ieyasu here is somewhat of a BrattyHalfPint, but despite that possesses quite a lot of wisdom and virtue and love for his people. While not much of a fighter, he makes it up with his [[HumongousMecha humongously powerful]] [[strike:Gundam]] retainer Honda Tadakatsu.
However, Capcom decided to poke fun at his days of being the hostage of Imagawa, thus turning him into JamesBondage extraordinaire, especially in Tadakatsu's story where everyone ''races'' to kidnap Ieyasu (and him getting kidnapped is a gimmick when playing as Tadakatsu in the fighting game). He's unplayable in both the first and second games, but the ExpansionPack made him playable and gave him a non-JamesBondage role as Motochika's friend, but he has no story mode.
It isn't until ''[=SB3=]'' (and consequently the second season of the anime) that he finally becomes a full-blown grown man, gets past his JamesBondage tendencies and is now punching people out on the guts with his fist. He successfully slays Hideyoshi, but then had to deal with Hideyoshi's fanatical follower Ishida Mitsunari, leading up to the decisive battle at Sekigahara.
Known as ''Irdene'' in ''[[{{Macekre}} Devil Kings]]''

* AscendedExtra: Was an NPC in the first game and only became playable a couple of time before he grew into the main character of [=SB3=].
* {{Badass}}: You really wouldn't believe this if you're playing the previous game since he's [[DistressedDude the always-kidnapped boy]]. Well, he got his badass certificate.
** BadassArmfold: Does this in cutscenes and is one of his [[IdleAnimation idle animations]].
** TookALevelInBadass: In ''[=SB3=]'', he is now grown up, with a revamped fighting style and having effectively beaten the tar out of Hideyoshi.
* BareFistedMonk: In ''3'', though his clothes and blocking motions seem to be more boxing.
* BareYourMidriff
* BattleAura: Weaponizes it with the "Tokugawa Might" technique.
* BattleDiscretionShot: His battle with Hideyoshi in the ''[=SB3=]'' intro takes place off-screen while we follow Mitsunari's point-of-view, who only arrives after Hideyoshi is dead. Exactly how the battle went down is unknown, although Ieyasu (obviously) won.
* BladeOnAStick: His first weapon, discarded in favor of a new fighting style.
* BrattyHalfPint: In ''Sengoku Basara Matsuri'' it is said he's 15 years old!
** And while for all intents and purposes he's an adult, in the anime Shingen still addresses him as Takechiyo, which is his childhood name.
** Lampshaded in ''3'', where his previously reverent soldiers immediately explode into mother-hen mode when "Takechiyo-sama" is apparently kidnapped, and the suspect being the Hojo, they, being led by Tadakatsu, wrecked the whole clan...

** Lampshaded by Masamune, who states that he had to grow up at some point.
* ChargedAttack: His attacks can be charged up to go from "Punching things really hard" to "Punching things absurdly hard with added range".
* CombatCompliment: In the third game, he spends just about every single one of his levels singing his opponent's praises while beating their forces into dust.
* CryForTheDevil: [[spoiler:In the ending where he defeats Mitsunari, he sheds tears for the troubled man he considered a friend.]]
* DefeatMeansFriendship: As of ''3'', Ieyasu is out to unite Japan even if he has to punch every single Japanese person in the face to do it.
* DistressBall: Throws it away by ''3'' though.
* DistressedDude: And ''how''! Thankfully he averted it by the 3rd game.
* ExtremityExtremist: Most of his attacks involves his fists.

* HonorBeforeReason: "The Tokugawa never betrays a promise, even to the Demon King himself". It just takes the next episode in the anime to finally make him screw that.
* InTheHood: He wears one with his new design similar to those worn by Boxers. When he puts it on with his taunt, he gets a bit of an attack buff.
* InvulnerableKnuckles: Averted - he fights with his fists specifically so that he too feels pain, and his soldiers talk about giving them medical attention.

* KidWithTheRemoteControl
* KnuckleCracking: In his revamped design, he cracks his knuckles dramatically before executing his Basara attack.

* MagneticHero: Is played as this in the third game, although to be honest he makes just as many enemies as he does friends.

* PowerFist: His new weapons in [=SB3=] are his fists, equipped with special gloves.

** RapidFireFisticuffs: And he becomes fond of this, drawing similarities with [[FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]].
* ThePowerOfFriendship: His main theme in ''Sengoku Basara 3'' is "unifying the land with the power of bonds". [[LightIsNotGood However, he might seem a bit of a hypocrite]], as he actually destroys many bonds along the way. At least he realises this.

* SparklingStreamOfTears: In the anime, when Tadakatsu goes on a suicide mission.
* StockholmSyndrome: Becomes best friends with Chousokabe Motochika, who happens to be one of his ''kidnappers''. [[spoiler:Then the third game suddenly subverts it when Ieyasu attacks Motochika's territory after killing Hideyoshi, ultimately straining their relationship.

* [[spoiler:UnexplainedRecovery]]: In the anime. After [[spoiler:we saw Nobunaga's soldiers stab him to death on-screen in season one, too]]. No, don't ask us how that happened.
* UseYourHead: His Super Art, "Hard Head". Absurd damage, knocks down even enemy commanders, and hits enemy on ground when fully charged. Commanders can be taken out in ''seconds'' with it.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: That vest of his is pretty much all he wears above the waist. His alternate look removes the crop top too.
* WeCanRuleTogether: As his plan is to "unite the country through the power of bonds", he tries a non-villainous take on this on a large number of characters to try to avoid fighting them, up to and including Mitsunari in some campaigns. Gets especially {{egregious}} in Yukimura's red campaign, where Ieyasu offers Yukimura a place by his side ''after'' Yukimura has already beat him up and scattered the Eastern army.
* WhatTheHellHero: Toshiie accused him of kidnapping Matsu so the Maeda is NeutralNoLonger and join him. Ieyasu is flabbergasted because he never gave such orders. [[spoiler:In fact Yoshiaki was the one who did it, to empower the Eastern Army and earn Ieyasu's favour.]]

!!TokugawaIeyasu
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tokugawaieyasu_3486.bmp]]
-->Voiced by: TohruOokawa (Japanese), Jason Michas (''Devil Kings''), LiamOBrien (English)
->''"Let us unite, and form a bond."''
The third unifier, and probably the only sane one between the trio (because Nobunaga is like the personification of evil, Hideyoshi is... freakin' nuts). Unlike the fat turd that most fictions portray, Ieyasu here is somewhat of a BrattyHalfPint, but despite that possesses quite a lot of wisdom and virtue and love for his people. While not much of a fighter, he makes it up with his [[HumongousMecha humongously powerful]] [[strike:Gundam]] retainer Honda Tadakatsu.
However, Capcom decided to poke fun at his days of being the hostage of Imagawa, thus turning him into JamesBondage extraordinaire, especially in Tadakatsu's story where everyone ''races'' to kidnap Ieyasu (and him getting kidnapped is a gimmick when playing as Tadakatsu in the fighting game). He's unplayable in both the first and second games, but the ExpansionPack made him playable and gave him a non-JamesBondage role as Motochika's friend, but he has no story mode.
It isn't until ''[=SB3=]'' (and consequently the second season of the anime) that he finally becomes a full-blown grown man, gets past his JamesBondage tendencies and is now punching people out on the guts with his fist. He successfully slays Hideyoshi, but then had to deal with Hideyoshi's fanatical follower Ishida Mitsunari, leading up to the decisive battle at Sekigahara.
Known as ''Irdene'' in ''[[{{Macekre}} Devil Kings]]''
-----
* AscendedExtra: Was an NPC in the first game and only became playable a couple of time before he grew into the main character of [=SB3=].
* {{Badass}}: You really wouldn't believe this if you're playing the previous game since he's [[DistressedDude the always-kidnapped boy]]. Well, he got his badass certificate.
** BadassArmfold: Does this in cutscenes and is one of his [[IdleAnimation idle animations]].
** TookALevelInBadass: In ''[=SB3=]'', he is now grown up, with a revamped fighting style and having effectively beaten the tar out of Hideyoshi.
* BareFistedMonk: In ''3'', though his clothes and blocking motions seem to be more boxing.
* BareYourMidriff
* BattleAura: Weaponizes it with the "Tokugawa Might" technique.
* BattleDiscretionShot: His battle with Hideyoshi in the ''[=SB3=]'' intro takes place off-screen while we follow Mitsunari's point-of-view, who only arrives after Hideyoshi is dead. Exactly how the battle went down is unknown, although Ieyasu (obviously) won.
* BladeOnAStick: His first weapon, discarded in favor of a new fighting style.
* BrattyHalfPint: In ''Sengoku Basara Matsuri'' it is said he's 15 years old!
** And while for all intents and purposes he's an adult, in the anime Shingen still addresses him as Takechiyo, which is his childhood name.
** Lampshaded in ''3'', where his previously reverent soldiers immediately explode into mother-hen mode when "Takechiyo-sama" is apparently kidnapped, and the suspect being the Hojo, they, being led by Tadakatsu, wrecked the whole clan... [[spoiler:only to find Ieyasu just trying to hang around for Sakura-viewing]].
* CantCatchUp: Starts out as this is the games, but manages to overcome it in ''Battle Heroes''. And by the third game, boy, [[TookALevelInBadass has he caught up... in spades]]!
** Lampshaded by Masamune, who states that he had to grow up at some point.
* ChargedAttack: His attacks can be charged up to go from "Punching things really hard" to "Punching things absurdly hard with added range".
* CombatCompliment: In the third game, he spends just about every single one of his levels singing his opponent's praises while beating their forces into dust.
* CryForTheDevil: [[spoiler:In the ending where he defeats Mitsunari, he sheds tears for the troubled man he considered a friend.]]
* DefeatMeansFriendship: As of ''3'', Ieyasu is out to unite Japan even if he has to punch every single Japanese person in the face to do it.
* DistressBall: Throws it away by ''3'' though.
* DistressedDude: And ''how''! Thankfully he averted it by the 3rd game.
* ExtremityExtremist: Most of his attacks involves his fists.
* [[spoiler:FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Ieyasu is burned alive by Hisahide during his story mode.]]
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Basara is probably the only series so far to make Ieyasu the OnlySaneMan amongst the evil past unifiers. Not to mention he has become [[{{Bishonen}} quite the looker]] compared to his usual portrayals as a FatBastard.
* HonorBeforeReason: "The Tokugawa never betrays a promise, even to the Demon King himself". It just takes the next episode in the anime to finally make him screw that.
* InTheHood: He wears one with his new design similar to those worn by Boxers. When he puts it on with his taunt, he gets a bit of an attack buff.
* InvulnerableKnuckles: Averted - he fights with his fists specifically so that he too feels pain, and his soldiers talk about giving them medical attention.
* JapanesePronouns: 'Washi', sometimes 'Soregashi'.
* KidWithTheRemoteControl
* KnuckleCracking: In his revamped design, he cracks his knuckles dramatically before executing his Basara attack.
* LightEmUp
* MagneticHero: Is played as this in the third game, although to be honest he makes just as many enemies as he does friends.
* TheMessiah: Evolves into this in [=SB3=]
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: Made all the more noticeable since none of the other characters have changed at all.
* PowerFist: His new weapons in [=SB3=] are his fists, equipped with special gloves.
** MegatonPunch
** RapidFireFisticuffs: And he becomes fond of this, drawing similarities with [[FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]].
* ThePowerOfFriendship: His main theme in ''Sengoku Basara 3'' is "unifying the land with the power of bonds". [[LightIsNotGood However, he might seem a bit of a hypocrite]], as he actually destroys many bonds along the way. At least he realises this.
* SayMyName: '''"TADAKATSUUUUUUU!!!!!!"'''
* SparklingStreamOfTears: In the anime, when Tadakatsu goes on a suicide mission.
* StockholmSyndrome: Becomes best friends with Chousokabe Motochika, who happens to be one of his ''kidnappers''. [[spoiler:Then the third game suddenly subverts it when Ieyasu attacks Motochika's territory after killing Hideyoshi, ultimately straining their relationship. Then subverted again as it turns out it was Kanbe's doing, with Motonari behind it.]]
* [[spoiler:UnexplainedRecovery]]: In the anime. After [[spoiler:we saw Nobunaga's soldiers stab him to death on-screen in season one, too]]. No, don't ask us how that happened.
* UseYourHead: His Super Art, "Hard Head". Absurd damage, knocks down even enemy commanders, and hits enemy on ground when fully charged. Commanders can be taken out in ''seconds'' with it.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: That vest of his is pretty much all he wears above the waist. His alternate look removes the crop top too.
* WeCanRuleTogether: As his plan is to "unite the country through the power of bonds", he tries a non-villainous take on this on a large number of characters to try to avoid fighting them, up to and including Mitsunari in some campaigns. Gets especially {{egregious}} in Yukimura's red campaign, where Ieyasu offers Yukimura a place by his side ''after'' Yukimura has already beat him up and scattered the Eastern army.
* WhatTheHellHero: Toshiie accused him of kidnapping Matsu so the Maeda is NeutralNoLonger and join him. Ieyasu is flabbergasted because he never gave such orders. [[spoiler:In fact Yoshiaki was the one who did it, to empower the Eastern Army and earn Ieyasu's favour.]]
** Also, despite all his talk of "uniting the country with the power of bonds", he defeats his mentor Hideyoshi and ruins Mitsunari's life by taking away the bond Mitsunari has with his lords.
* WideEyedIdealist: Which leads him to make some pretty dumb mistakes at times.
* YoungConqueror
!!Honda Tadakatsu
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hondatadakatsu_3182.bmp]]
->''"...!"''
One of ''SengokuBasara'''s ridiculous yet ''fucking awesome'' presentations. Tadakatsu is a...uh...[[MobileSuitGundam Gundam]]. Or just a HumongousMecha [[AnachronismStew in the middle of ancient Japan]]. He doesn't talk and mostly lets his massive ass-kicking capabilities do the talking. He's also pretty loyal to Ieyasu. There are, however, times where even he gains some sort of will to fight a WorthyOpponent, showcased in front of the Shimazu clan. In those cases, Ieyasu usually lets him do as he pleases.
Goes by the name ''Iron Ox'' in ''[[{{Macekre}} Devil Kings]]''
