Demon: Barbas Why?: "A great lion who can both cause and heal diseases and can change both his own and others' shapes." The intro of SW2 briefly features a lion (and Nobunaga's character design in that game features a "mane" of crow feathers for double the animal symbolism). Also, lions are used to symbolize the SW cast in Warriors Orochi (since the DW factions all have their own animals). The "cause and heal diseases" fits his actions in canon pretty well, as does the changing shapes thing, mostly on a metaphorical level but also ^
Originally, it was going to Dantalion ("A demon who can take on the appearance of any man or woman who ever lived. He knows the thoughts of all people and can manipulate them at will.") because I absolutely had to reference the crossdressing, and because the game's Nobunaga is demonstrably a precog and gets played up as a pseudo-omniscient who always gets exactly what he wants when he manipulates others. I changed my mind while writing my app when I remembered how much emphasis gets placed on his versatility and decided everything wasn't really going Just As Planned.
Branch: Navigator Why?: Nobunaga's as capable of killing thousands as any other payable character in that game, but story-wise, he's the guy who's organizing everything and his retainers are the ones doing most of the actual fighting.
Type(s): Dark Why?: His in-game element and what his entire fighting style is based around. If he was a Combatant, his other element would be Psy, for obvious reasons.
Style(s): Buffer/Sorcerer Why?: His special move in-game is a pair of self-buffs. Sorcerer was because the name was fitting more than anything else, but it also seemed like the most violent option.
Passive: Dual Why?: Of his aforementioned self-buffs, one's offensive and the other's defensive.
