Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes/Motonari Mori

"The time has come."

- Motonari Mori pre-battle

Motonari Mori is a young, genius daimyo who will do anything for victory. He sees his soldiers as mere pawns, and many of said soldiers even fear him. In Samurai Heroes, Motonari works largely with Yoshitsugu Otani behind the scenes, and the two conspire to take over Japan by using Mitsunari Ishida's anger for Ieyasu Tokugawa as a quick way to take down the powerful general. Though Motonari has a partnership with Yoshitsugu, all he truly cares about is himself and his region, Chugoku. Motochika Chosokabe acts as a rival for Motonari due to their clashing personalities and beliefs. Being a professional tactician, Motonari's battle style is a bit more complicated than those of the other characters. Motonari relies largely on setting traps to trick foes, giving his battles a technical edge.
