I think the reason for the lack of hype us because Saizo would have been a much better choice; he has more history, he wouldn't be compared to Sasuke from BASARA and he's overall more interesting. There's nothing stopping him coming in the future I guess, still Sasuke is more popular out of the two and Koei obviously want to play safely.

EDIT: I personally think there will be another character so there's one of each type, so far it's looking like -

Masayuki - Charge
ChaCha- Special
Sasuke- Hyper
? - Normal

I wish Saizo got added in this game too! I'm headcanoning that this Sasuke IS actually Saizo. But he changed his name to Saizo because of Sarutobi shares his name and Saizo being petty doesnt want to share his name with him.

I'm personally very happy they decided to add Sasuke. I think Samurai Warriors needed another ninja character since the last one I can recall them getting was Kotaro back in SW2. I think Sasuke will be a really unique addition and I hope Koei can make him interesting enough to be worth the add and not distract too much from Kunoichi.

With that being said, I'm not too big of a fan of his design overall. I like his garments/outfit but I don't really like how they made him out to be a little kid. I would have had him be a bit older, but oh well, I don't outright hate the design or anything, it's just not what I feel Sasuke should look like. I hope Saizo makes an appearance at some point in the future, I doubt he'll show up in this game since they just added Sasuke though.

If we do get 1 more character I'm hoping for either Katsuyori, Matabei, or Morichika. I'm hoping all the characters they add in this game will make it to SW5 though, I think it would be a waste to add some characters that fans have been asking for for so long and only have them appear in this one game because of Yukimura.

*(People keep saying Koei makes a lot of prettyboy characters but I really don't see it. Like there's Lu Xun, Guan Suo, Liu Shan, Ranmaru, Hanbei, Yoshitsugu, and now Sasuke, and that's... really it. You could make some cases for a select few others, but overall, the non-beardy, non-super-defined-faced characters are just conventionally handsome, even if they're not as hypermasculine as some would like.)
Although I consider more than you listed to be pretty boys, I think we have a good mix of both pretty and manly men. There's not a whole lot to complain about anyway considering how no one's gonna turn pretty with the aging mechanic, lol. Except maybe the ladies

It's funny to me that people are complaining about how young Sasuke's design looks. I think it makes perfect sense! I mean now he fits with Kunoichi, and I'm sure they'll age him when Osaka rolls around.

I guess it is okay to have new ninja, but 2 of them for one game will be overwhelming. So, yeah I am not fan of idea introducing Saizo as well. It should be either one of those. Koei chose Sasuke. Okay, whatever... notsuperxcited anyway. Guess the next one will be Goto. Funny, not really excited about any of those characters, all of them are kinda mediocre to me.

I honestly thought Sasuke's a woman until I read the posts here. But he may have a cool moveset like Hanzo seeing as they made him Hanzo's disciple.

Personally, I think Kunoichi alone is enough to represent the Sanada Braves. If a new ninja is required, I prefer Katou Danzo.

Not a fan of kid Chacha but it's nice to finally see Teen Chacha's weapon confirmed, although the fact that her hairpin seems to be duplicated from her head is just dumb.

I've already been excited for Sasuke elsewhere online, otherwise I'd be singing praises here. I'm always all for more actually beautiful people* and more ninjas. He's basically convinced me Koei is taking this game seriously.

Yeah that's right. I disagree that he was a poor choice, either as an all around add or as a ninja. If anything, this shows to me that Koei is serious about doing a story about Yukimura right. You really can't do that without Sasuke- the Ten Braves, Sasuke especially, are integral to the whole legend of Yukimura. And let's be real- it's the legend of Yukimura that everyone cares about. Historically he wasn't all that impressive compared to a lot of other figures, but because of stories and legends passed down through the ages, he's held in higher regard than even the likes of Tadakatsu, Muneshige and Kenshin. And to remove Sasuke from those legends would be a questionable choice.



Nah man, Sasuke is pretty much a piece of ****. Like he's seriously garbage. He's going to be some really boring shota fuccboi who just sucks Sanada sausage all day long. Maybe if he had a cool design or in any way looked like he was going to be an interesting character, I'd like him. As it stands, he's a character I never wanted with a design made up of recycled CAW parts and other character templates.

Sasuke more like Sosucky lololololol

The only thing that could redeem him is if his weapon was beybladez or children's monster summoning cards. Then he might be fun and enjoyable.

I'll admit I don't know much about the legends of Sasuke other than he argued with Saizo, was compared to a monkey, and then died at Osaka.

But if your saying he's a good choice, then I'll believe it. Maybe they'll give Kunoichi Saizo's role and have her argue with him in his place. Actually I'd even be ok with them outright adding Saizo to this game. It's the perfect time to get minor characters like this out the way and future proof the Sanada roster by bolstering it now; so that when they finally get around to giving the Takeda a huge roster the Sanada won't suffer.

That said, in spite of my initial post in reaction to Sasuke came off a little to negative. I don't actually care all that much about his addition one or the other, he's coming in a side game that's focused on Yukimura so it's hard to complain about him getting in. Plus Cha cha is already here so I can't be un-hyped anyway :XD

It doesn't matter for me who gets added beside Saizo, unless people want Goto... which I'm okay with. The most important for me is their weapon, how they fight, and their role for this game.

Hopefully they show it at Tokyo Game show or trailers.

gonna laugh hard if instead of osaka defender we will get smbd random in the end like... Date Shigezane or Megohime)))
also, 3 seem as decent number for newbies, so highly likely that might be it.

I was jumping out of my seat when I saw Masayuki's and Chacha's designs. Sasuke's design was very underwhelming, but a good add nonetheless. Still hoping for Matabei Goto

Edit: Just realized they gave Chacha a child design and she's adorable as hell

They are drawing from the Taiga drama, where they apparently have Yukimura and Chacha interact a lot. That's also why they added Sasuke, he's a major secondary character in the show.

Manjimortal is likely 100% correct about that. I don't really care about the Taiga drama though, nor am I familiar with it, so all of this flies over my head. I imagine a lot of people on this forum are in the same boat.

I did not see it either. Neither I ever saw any of those asian dramas. Fact is that Koei adding popular characters and characters that are affiliated with Sanada.

In Sanadamaru, Yukimura spends some time in Azuchi Castle while the Sanada is serving the Oda.

This becomes a plotpoint when Mitsuhide assassinates Nobunaga, since they have to escape.

This is also just after Masayuki first meeting Ieyasu face-to-face.

I think that would be pretty fun.

I also think they should find a way to shoehorn in Ieyasu's escape through Iga during that timeframe as well. That has been neglected in the series for a long time. This seems like a good game to reintroduce it.

Does any else wonder how they're gonna utilise Kunoichi in this game and hereon after? I mean if they added Saizo I doubt he'd have gotten in the way but Sasuke nay push Kuno' out.

Since Sasuke starts ith Tokugawa, Kunoichi will have some time with Yukimura on her own. As for what Sasuke's and Kunoichi's rokes was will be after he joines Sanada, that remains to be seen.

Was she utilized at all in SW4? She was just Yukimura's fangirl and did nothing outside of that I think.

I don't know if Sasuke starts with the Tokugawa, for while Hanzo has trained him it doesn't mean he ever works for Ieyasu.

Zhu Ran, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Takakage, Naomasaa, Hideyori, the list goes on and on and on and on......

they even had to underline Hideyori's prettyboy-ness in the animu
