Talk:Sengoku BASARA 5/@comment-45002314-20200214004631

My personal opinions and ideas on the new characters. BTW, if you don't like my ideas and opinions, I respect that. If you do like them, then that's cool. Go with what you want.

Asakura Yoshikage: Like I said before, I felt like he "was" a great idea but because in the Sengoku BASARA timeline the Asakura clan were destroyed by the Oda clan when Oda Nobunaga was alive, it would feel very weird to see him alive. I do wish that the Asakura clan was depicted since they were mentioned in the stories of Sengoku BASARA 2, and Sengoku BASARA 2 Heroes, but I personally wouldn't include him because of the clan's destruction. Considering the story you've presented us, I'd say that he should either have secretly survived (like Azai Nagamasa) or he got revived (like Oda Nobunaga), and reforms the Asakura clan (like Imagawa Ujizane).

Hattori Hanzo: Love this idea! We need more ninja characters and he'd be the perfect candidate. Plus, while Kasuga and Sarutobi Sasuke have a rivalry with each other, Fūma Kotarō was left out with no rival so putting Hanzo in could give Kotarō a rival. Also, I feel like we need more Tokugawa members so they could rival the Ishida members. As of currently, there's only 2 Tokugawa members: Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Honda Tadakatsu. The Ishida currently have 3 members: Ishida Mitsunari, Ōtani Yoshitsugu, and Shima Sakon. Here's my one complaint: I feel that he shouldn't be the one to lead the Tokugawa during Ieyasu's absence considering how Sakai Tadatsugu was Ieyasu's advisor and second-in-command in the Sengoku BASARA Judge End anime (a.k.a. Sengoku BASARA End of Judgement). So I feel that Tadatsugu should lead while Hanzo, and Tadakatsu help him out (before they find Ieyasu).

Hosokawa Gracia: Another idea I love! We need more female characters and I just so happen to really enjoy characters with a either a mysterious past, mysteries surrounding them, or both. I really liked how you did her backstory with her being abandoned by her father, Akechi Mitsuhide, during the Honnoji incident with only her mother to be with her who would die from illness, then being raised by Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Kyōgoku Maria, Matsunaga Hisahide and Fūma Kotarō going after her, and Gracia wanting revenge on her father for abandoning her and her mother. It's all really good except for her fate in the end. Why does her fate have to remain the same no matter what? It's like Date Masamune's Green, Purple, and Yellow paths from Sengoku BASARA 3 (a.k.a. Sengoku BASARA Samurai Heroes) where the ending/fate of the character remains the same despite having different story routes/paths. Not only are all of her endings the same, they're all tragic. She deserves at least 1 happy ending. Just a little suggestion, maybe add to her backstory that her father, Mitsuhide, used to be a good father until sometime after becoming a general for the Oda clan where a certain event caused him to slowly become a sadistic psychopath (except towards his daughter, Gracia, and his wife).
