## Personality

Terumasa Ikeda is what you call, a detective that loves the thrill of mysteries. He is a cool-headed, suave young man that never stops investigating until he finds the answers he needs

Even though he's smug, he does have a line he can't cross. However, he sometimes breaks it while doing his investigations, which annoys the majority of the town because they, and Terumasa himself, don't know how long he continues to drag that line.

Despite his cool-headed attitude, he has a weakness.

## Theme Song

* Hard-Boiled Detective - Terumasa's official theme

## Tropes

* Adaptational Attractivenes: To the point we start to wonder if Tsuneoki is either good looking or he has a wife
* Ascended Extra - While he's well known as Tsuneoki Ikeda's son, he barely even made an impact with his role in the Samurai Warriors series. Despite this, however, Crossroads makes him playable over his father, who is STILL an NPC.
* Badass Baritone - Both of his voices fit this calibur though it's only a softer and smoother approach
* Bishounen - Similar to Hiroie, but he actually looks identical to a girl in a lot of ways.
* Blood Knight: Likely as a consequence to being one of the survivors of the Incident of Honnoji.
* Catchphrase: "Time for me to Work my Way to the Top"
* Character Development:
* Contrasting Sequel Main Character - He is completely different from Haru Kikkawa. While Haru is an optimist who loves to make people happy, Terumasa is calm and composed with a knack of mysteries.
* Demoted to Extra - Downplayed. Anything PAST the Osaka Winter campaign has him out of focus because he is actually dead
* Determinator - Considering that it's his job as a Detective, he would stop at NOTHING to solve the case. Even if he had to break a few rules set up by his lord to do it. Nobunaga liked his focus, but was unsure of his approach.
* Dude Who Looks Like a Lady: Not at the level of Hiroie and Ranmaru, but he still counts.
* Earn Your Happy Ending: After suffering from his own demons due to being one of the few survivors in the Incident of Honnoji, he was able to let go from after forcing Magoichi Saika to admit that
* Everyone Has Standards: , but even he is furious upon discovering
* Expy - Some cases
	+ Shotaro Hidari - Personality wise, however, he is similar to Shotaro Hidari. And despite his render being similar to Kamen Rider Double, his overall colour scheme is similar to Kamen Rider Joker. Even both of his renders have Double and Joker's pose.
	+ Rick Sanchez - Compared to Rick, Terumasa
	+ Morty Smith -
* The Hero - Despite being one of the new playable characters, he is the main protagonist of Chapter 2.
* Katanas are Just Better - He wields a Katana akin to a Bladed cleaver.
* My Greatest Failure - His failure to prevent Mitsuhide Akechi from rebelling against Nobunaga Oda counts.
* Older than He Looks - By the time of the Osaka Winter Campaign, he is at his fifties, but because of his looks, he barely even aged at all. I'm wondering if he had taken notes from Haru.
* Precision F-Strike - While his quotes don't actually show this, he insulted Sakon by calling him an absolute moron regarding . It's not exactly coarse but it's close.
* Private Detective - A calm and collected variant.
* Rage-Breaking Point: In spite of his calm and cool approach, even he was
* Royals Who Actually Do Something - For being a detective, he does a good job in his role as the heir.
* A Tragedy of Impulsiveness - It actually got him killed in this case. If he had listened to Hidetada's warning, then he would've lived through Yukimura's final stand. Sadly, he wasn't as he had sacrificed himself to protect Ieyasu from Yukimura's charge.
* Vocal Dissonance - Despite his girly looks, his voice is not too jarring, but it counts because his voice actors are both men
* You Gotta Have Blue Hair - He has purple highlights partially shown on his black hair.

## Trivia

* In the Behind the Scenes video of Terumasa Ikeda, the idea for Terumasa came from the writer's own experience with watching Kamen Rider Double. Ironically enough, Yoshimasa Hosoya also voiced Shotaro Hidari in Kamen Rider Memory of Heroez and Fuuto Pi, the sequel of Kamen Rider W.
