Hisame is a young man who acts like an old age pensioner, with similar hobbies to boot. For some reason the localisation decided to focus on his vegetable pickling hobby far more than any other of his traits, so in 90% of his supports all he does is talk about pickles. They localised my personality into a pickle, Hinata!

Wackly pickle obsession aside, Hisame is boring. Samurai is a class that is already super common in Birthright, and his growths are extremely even across the board before factoring in his mother's influence. I guess Hisame's kind of a midpoint between Hinata and Hana statwise? I really have nothing interesting to say about him or any new unit at this point, I guess you pick whichever promotion boosts the stats his mother hasn't given him or reclass him to an Oni if you want one. I don't think I've ever had a particularly great Hisame, but he is at least competent filler.

Instead I've got some fun trivia: Hisame has the lowest growth total out of any second generation unit in Fates and the 6th lowest growth total in the entire game, beating Nyx and his father by 5% and losing to Subaki and Selena by 5% too. Growth totals aren't a great way of assessing a unit's usefulness and his low total is probably more indicative of his lack of "wasted" growths in stats like magic or resistance than it is of him being a bad unit, but I thought it was interesting. Incidentally the kid with the second lowest growth total is Shigure, and the kid with the highest is Asugi, who draws with his father Saizo for best non-Aptitude boosted growths in the game. Which means an Asugi with Mozu as his mother could inherit Aptitude to have the highest total out of anyone. Therefore the highest growth total possible belongs to Mozu!Asugi as a General, who will have a grand total of 487.5% growths with 70% HP, 72.5% STR, 37.5% MAG, 77.5% SKL, 60% SPD, 67.5% LCK, 62.5% DEF, 40% RES so long as he has Aptitude. Neat.
