Well, it seems that we might just find out as TBS has revealed a new Sengoku Basara spin-off, Gakuen Basara. They also launched a new official website which reveals a brand new teaser visual:

In this new anime, it will feature Sengoku figures like Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura as high school students. As for its story, it seems that it will be revolving around a school’s student council elections. Specifically, Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura battle to replace Toyotomi Hideyoshi as the new Student Council President. Kazuhiro Nakai reprises his role as Date Masamune, who this time is his school’s 1st-year baseball ace. Meanwhile, Souichiro Hoshi will be voicing soccer team ace, Sanada Yukimura.
