Sanada Yukimura, who appears in "Gakuen BASARA," is the ace striker of the soccer club. He has a very passionate personality and is in a rivalry with Date Masamune, who is a member of the baseball club. He looks like an ordinary high school student and wears a school uniform, but he also wears the red headband and distinctive necklace he wears in the Sengoku BASARA series. He also respects Takeda Shingen, the physical education teacher and soccer club advisor, and rather than being in a student-teacher relationship, they often have heated discussions, even pumping their fists.

A young warrior serving Takeda Shingen, the Tiger of Kai, and considered the next generation leader of the Takeda army. He is "the one who inherited the Tiger's will." He is fiery, passionate, and honest to the point of honesty. He is 17 years old. He speaks politely, using the "gozaru" (pronounced "gozaru") accent. He devotes himself to training every day, striving to become the greatest warrior in Japan and do everything he can to help his lord, Shingen, unify the country. Because of his earnestness, he dislikes glamorous women, and blushes when he says, "That's shameless!" With his passionate spirit, Sanada Yukimura trains hard every day, doing his best to lead his respected Takeda Shingen to unify the country.

Class 2-2. He is the ace of the soccer team, captain of the baseball team, and ace and number four hitter, and engages in daily field battles with his rival, Date Masamune. In the anime, Yukimura is often seen paying attention to Masamune's movements, expressing his feelings for him, and expressing genuine admiration for his personality and skills. Ever since their first encounter on the battlefield, Date Masamune has been a lifelong rival, one he aspires to be, and he harbors both respect and rivalry. This is because Yukimura is a young tiger, while Masamune is a dragon, so their colors are like blue and crimson.
Actual Historical Facts
In actual history, they only fought once, at the Battle of Domyoji, during the Siege of Osaka. Furthermore, at the time, Sanada Yukimura was in a disadvantaged position as a military commander, while Date Masamune was a powerful daimyo who controlled the majority of Oshu. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that they were rivals.
Sanada Yukimura's Battle Style

His weapon is a pair of tridents held in each hand. Officially, they are referred to as "two spears." As you'd expect from a protagonist, it has standard attack capabilities, with a full range of moves, including the continuous thrust "Rekka," as well as launching moves, blowing moves, and charging moves. The only thing it doesn't have is a projectile move. By connecting the butts of the two spears together, it can be used as a single, long, double-edged spear.
