The characters from Samurai Warriors are the same as very different from Dynasty Warriors, with the exception also newly introducing the likes of a few fat sumo wrestlers and a few ninjas. Yukimura Sanada does not whatsoever resembles Zhao Yun in any way, and Cao Cao and Nobunaga Oda do not resemble each other at all. Zhang He and Kojiro Sasaki definitely do not share gay similarities.
