Naotora Takeda

* Appearance
* Plot

**Naotora Takeda** (武(たけ)田(だ) 尚(なお)虎(とら), *Takeda Naotora*?) is a main character in the fan-made series **Universal Warriors**, Naotora is the main protagonists in the **Super Robot Wars**, and main supporting character in the **Orient**.

Naotora is one of the **Five Grand Generals** of Hi no Moto and the Captain of the **Takeda Bushi**. He is one of the **Five Grand Generals** to encounter in the beginning **Musashi** and **Kojiro** from in Tatsuyama Mine.

## Personality

He is a very charismatic man, meaning he is easily able to bring people over to his side with his sense of honor and how he cares for the people of Hi no Moto. He also has a rather mischievous side, often taking any chance he can to play small jokes on Musashi.

Unlike other Bushi, he does not seem rooted in tradition, deciding that Uesugi was a bit too strict when it came to blood relations among Bushi. Likewise, he does not revere the Obsidian Goddess as a necessary entity and likens her more to a person the world could do without; however, the reason for this has not been explained properly yet.

He carries a vendetta against the Obsidian Brotherhood for causing a slaughter in his clan 10 years ago. It is noted he especially blames Shiro, as he was the one present during the tragedy.

## Character Design

Naotora is a tall, muscular man, with short spiky blue hair like beast ear, and golden eyes. He has a scar on his left cheek.

He wears what looks like a light blue traditional samurai armor with a white cape.

## Abilities and Equipment

### Powers and Abilities

* **Blue Sword Soul**: He possesses one of the most common soul colors, blue. He is able to unleash a multitude of strikes in a single swing using **Blue Wing Breaker**, producing many more than a basic blue Bushi such as Kojiro.

Naotora has honed his sword skills as a Blue Bushi to the highest degree, able to concentrate elemental properties and condense them into a small cosmic blade.
Firstly, he is able to control water and fire alike, bending them to his will even when brought forth by the special distortion caused by Shiro. It can be said that attacks involving both are ineffective against him, as neither a downpour of lava or even being submerged in a cube of water was able to harm him. He is able to mold these elements into two large tigers to strike at his opponents.
The ultimate reason as to why Naotora learned these techniques was to combat the Obsidian Brotherhood. By condensing both fire and water, the opposing elements create a contradiction on a subatomic level. This creates a cosmic knife (which was able to destroy Shiro’s kitetsuto in one hit). The only time such a feat was shown prior was when the Obsidian Goddess overloaded a kitetsuto during her fight with Shiro.

* Amphitrite (Wrathful Wave) (怒れる波濤(アムピトリテ), "Amupitorite")): Naotora uses his trident to unleash incessant thrusts at blinding speeds in a circular pattern.
* Chione Tyro Demeter (Divine Lightning Falling into the Rough Sea, "荒海に降る神雷(キオネ・テュロ・デーメテール)"): Naotora leaps into the air above his opponent, unleashing an endless barrage of trident thrusts onto them from above akin to lightning in a thunderstorm. He unleashes them at such fast speeds that countless afterimages are created.
* Medusa Alope Demeter (40 Days and 40 Nights Big Flood) (四十日四十夜の大洪水(メドゥーサ・アロペ・デーメテール), "Medūsa Arope Dēmetēru"): Naotora unleashes trident strikes that combine his divine might and godly speed, attacking from every possible direction. The speed is such that it creates a dome of afterimages surrounding his opponent.

## Story

### Original

Little is known about his past. However, it was stated he knew the other four Great Generals, as all five of them were friends in childhood.

During the Awaji Island Recapture, he was stated to have honed his sword skills in order to defeat Shiro Inukai. Naotora remembers seeing Shiro around 10 years ago, saying that he recalled a warrior surrounded by a white aura reveling in the massacre of his brothers being feasted on by hoards of demons. After creating an elemental blade and breaking Shiro's Kitetsuto, Naotora gets an injury on his arm that he calls a "Dark Depravity Curse". He believes it's because he was fighting a bit recklessly.
