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.

He has an rivalry with both Hideie Ukita and Deng Zhi, on where he scolds both Ukita and Zhi on their behavior. Ukita especially since the former's methods are life threatening, even by Haru's standards. Zhi is annoyed at Terumasa's smug attitude every time.

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 crew 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.

Tropes

 * Adaptational Attractiveness -
 * 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.
 * Catchphrase - Time for me to Work my Way to the Top
 * 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 - Maybe the only character that has SURPASSED Hiroie in this department. Just look at his official model.
 * Expy - Some cases.
 * Minerva - Appearance wise, he is identical to her, with the only differences being his hair colour and his clothing.
 * 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.
 * Noah - He not only shares the same English voice actor, he also has some of Noah's traits.
 * The Hero - Despite being one of the new playable characters, he is the main protagonist of Chapter 2.
 * Identical Stranger - He looks like Minerva so much that he was mistaken as her by Anna when they first met
 * Katanas are Just Better - He wields a Katana akin to a Bladed cleaver.
 * My Greatest Failure - His failure to prevent
 * 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 Hideyori by calling him a: "Dumb Shit".
 * Private Detective - A calm and collected variant.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something - For being
 * 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. His English voice actor: Andrew Bowden, gives his tone similar to Johnny Cage in both of his time selves in Mortal Kombat 11.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair - He has purple highlights partially shown on his black hair.

Trivia

 * Terumasa Ikeda looks identical to Minerva from Fire Emblem, ranging from her looks to her similar clothing. However, his personality is inspired by Shotaro Hidari, Kamen Rider Joker and one of the main characters in Kamen Rider Double. According to the writer, he really had to come up with something to make Terumasa unique. Even his overall design is a mix of both Joker and Minvera's.
 * 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.
