[incorrect-joseimuke]

Aizen: Are you fantasizing about punching Kuniyuki through four walls again?

Hotaru: Maybe.

toukentober again

9. ootachi: hotarumaru (+ and his rai siblings) ... i think hotaru and aizen’s recoll is really sweet with aizen being worried about him in sorties

10. saniwa: sư tử. its a vietnamese short sword (like a wakizashi), and su tu was a time government experiment assigned to be a saniwa

11. kuroda: hasebe, nikkou. i also think its cute how nikkou claims all kuroda as his sworn younger brothers. nikkou is usually so serious but the idea of him sneaking in some amusement is nice

[ren-the-glitch]

So I watched Touken Ranbu Hanamaru and even though Aizen doesn't get much screen time, he's one of my favorites. So I just had to draw him! I do also have him in Touken Ranbu Online, he is pretty easy to get though.

[always-wizu-you]

Hello everyone, today I wanna talk about the people behind DanPri characters (a.k.a. their VAs/seiyuu, though they do more than just voice act). Some kind of introduction I guess.

Sorry for reposting this, I accidentally posted it when I saved the draft :(

So without further ado, let's start! :D

Seiichirou Yamashita

Nicknames: Seichi (Koba, Reiou), Sei-chan (Tatsumaru), Yamashita-san/kun (Kawai-kun, Uzawa-kun, almost everyone else) Birthday: May 21, 1992 Hometown: Hiroshima Agency: Office Osawa Some well-known roles outside PriPara: Touken Ranbu - Yagen Toushirou & Aizen Kunitoshi Horimiya - Toru Ishikawa Twisted Wonderland - Ace Trappola

Shougo's voice actor, the most normal one among WITH in a glance. His voice is generally low-to-mid tone, but he's also good at voicing mischievous early-teen boys. Seichi chose to be a voice actor because he's always loved acting, but he actually longed to be an actor. However, he sees voice acting as the most realistic path for him.

Seichi debuted from 2012, but it wasn't until 2016 that he started getting main roles. A year later, he got the role as Shougo. When he found out about PriPara stage play, where the main casts' VA also act on stage, he basically told the director that "If there's a stage play for DanPri too one day, I'm available (wink)". And yeah, that dream was no longer a dream, as he got to be Shougo's actor on the stage play.

Role in WITH: Tsukkomi (the "normal one")

If you watch them enough, you'd know that Kobatatsu and Reiou are known to be fooling around while Seichi reminds them to behave. He gets them to be back on track in radio shows, free talk sessions in lives, etc. However, according to Koba and Reiou, he's actually more carefree than it seems, and sometimes went out somewhere on his own without notice. In some fan reports, Seichi's often seen to be the one being doted on the most, and Koba-Reiou admitted through a Q&A session that he's the one that feels like the youngest despite being the tsukkomi.

Tatsuyuki Kobayashi

Nicknames: Kobatatsu (fans/almost everyone), Ta-tan (Seichi), Tatsuyuki (Seichi) Birthday: April 21, 1989 Hometown: Chiba Agency: avex Some well-known roles outside PriPara: King of Prism - Ace Ikebukuro Twisted Wonderland - Cater Diamond Paradox Live (Stage play) - Satsuki Ito

Asahi's voice actor, literal personification of bright morning sunshine on stage. He's actually more of a singer and stage actor than voice actor. He started his career as a singer after winning the 7th Anisong Grand Prix in 2013. You can see some footages of it on Youtube (here's the digest of his performances). After debuting as a singer, he also started acting on stage plays since 2016.

Kobatatsu's career as a voice actor started in 2015, and Asahi is his first non-nameless supporting role. His voice is generally mid-to-high, and he's good at playing cheerful, happy-go-lucky characters. Seichi said that Kobatatsu has a habit to talk in childish voice outside from work.

Role in WITH: Main performer + co-mentor(?)

Due to his background, he's the most experienced stage performer among WITH members. And because of that, he became the "main dancer" of WITH, especially during their early days. He also helped the other two on learning choreographies (e.g. Tick-Tock Magical Time for their first solo event) and on performing in general. Seichi and Reiou said that they learned a lot from him during the rehearsals of their stage play.

Reiou Tsuchida

Nickname: Tsuchi (Tatsumaru), Reiou, Tsuchida-san Birthday: January 6, 1993 Hometown: Hokkaido Agency: 81produce Some well-known roles outside PriPara: Ensemble Stars - Tsukasa Suou VS AMBIVALENZ - Taiyo Haruno & Subaru Takaya

Koyoi's voice actor, one of the funniest guys in the industry. He started his career as voice actor in 2012, but he doesn't have that much leading roles yet. He has quite distinctive voice, but it's pretty versatile. Reiou started becoming more well-known after voicing in Ensemble Stars in 2015, and he got the role as Koyoi in 2017.

Although he seems so unserious, he's actually very multitalented. He's good at imitating other people's voice, drawing, making stories, singing, and so on. Reiou even drew WITH members on their birthday back in 2020 (here's the link: Shougo, Koyoi, Asahi). He started working on his own manga since 2023 and self-publishing it on his Twitter.

Role in WITH: Ghost-director

I've written about how Koyoi's past story was developed from Reiou's idea, but that's not the only thing he contributed to WITH's back story. He proposed many ideas for WITH Stage as they rehearsed, e.g. the dance battle scene between Koyoi and Shinya and DARKNESS SOUL duet scene with Shinya. The director originally asked him to do Koyoi's solo song on that part, but Reiou felt that it'd be more fitting to involve Shinya more.

He also came up with a concept for Quest Milky Way performance during their #IIZE Tour in 2019. Reiou asked the audience to light up their penlights in their own color instead of WITH's members, because WITH were going around the galaxy in that song, and the penlight colors represent everyone's colors as the "stars" (idols) in the galaxy.

Kentarou Kawai

Nickname: Ken-chan (Seichi), Kawataro (some fans and DanPri members), Tono (Uzawa-kun), Kawai-kun (almost everyone) Birthday: April 7, 1997 Hometown: Tokyo Agency: Japan Music Entertainment

Shinya's voice actor, a newcomer who debuted in 2019. He focuses more on being an actor than voice actor, so his only role as a seiyuu is Shinya so far. He's especially close with Uzawa-kun, often goes out together and even invited Uzawa-kun to his family's home. Some fans called the two of them "Tarotaro" (from Kentarou and Shoutarou).

WITH members often praises Kawai-kun as a very earnest, polite, and hard-working kid. He's also a certified sword-fighting actor, and showcases his fighting skills through videos on his SNS accounts (example here). Among all DanPri casts, he's the one that often holds streaming to interact with fans via Instagram Live.

Shoutarou Uzawa

Nickname: Uzawa-kun (almost everyone), Taroumaru (fans) Birthday: January 22, 1997 Hometown: Chiba Agency: 81produce

Ushimitsu's voice actor, also a newcomer who works in the same company as Reiou. He has mid-to-high tone voice. He's voiced many supporting roles in anime, movie dub, and games. Before working under his current company, he was under Japan's children theater company.

Uzawa-kun is a Pretty Series fan, and he was really excited to get the role as Ushimitsu. He's also the one who played Adopara the longest (or, rather, the only one who really played it) among DanPri casts. He's really close with Kawai-kun, but due to the long stage play rehearsal, he used to call Kawai-kun "Tono" (Master) everywhere, even when they meet outside work.

Tatsumaru Tachibana

Nickname: Tatsumaru Birthday: April 21, 1991 Hometown: Fukui Prefecture Agency: Stay Luck Some well-known roles outside PriPara: The God of High School - Mori Jin Aoashi - Eisaku Ootomo Kabukicho Sherlock - Toratarou Kobayashi

Mario's voice actor, an experienced stage actor who started his career as a voice actor in 2019. His natural voice is mid-to-high and sounds mild. He started acting since the age of 10, joining his father's theater company and performing with traveling troupe. He became the theater company's chairman in 2010-2015 before deciding to reside in Tokyo and work there.

Like Kawai-kun, he's also a certified sword-fighting actor, in addition to specializing in playing as a female on stage. His career as a voice actor is still quite short compared to his acting experience, but he's been climbing up in popularity and started getting more main roles. Among all DanPri casts, he's the closest with Seichi due to having voiced as main characters in a series together.

Oh, and he also has a youtube channel, although it doesn't seem to be that active lately.

Hinamori Citadel Sword Timeline (in-game)

...For posterity. I could just do this with images, I know, but I couldn't actually see the dates that way. Wound up bolding the swords that became important to the Citadel's canon (and swords not in bold might become important later). After awhile the memories came flooding back, so there's random bits of Citadel history/headcanon notes too! (I often made choices Airi would be too cautious to attempt, heh.)

Assume that the Government swords/Munechika are still important in the grand scheme of the Citadel history even if they're not in bold, by the way!

Regimental Clash happens with Fukushima Mitsutada, fourth love of Airi's life. For various reasons, he does not come home and I'm despondent about it.

2022 In General: There are so many Kiwame that I don't remember the exact dates of (same with 2023) that they needed their own post [will link here]

1/14/2022:

New Year's Stamp Collection:

1/26/2022:

-Kenshin Kagemitsu (Airi overprotects him, much to his chagrin)

2/17/2022:

-Nihongou

3/2022 in general: The Great Invasion occurs, bringing with it a sense of truly global scale I had never encountered in a game before. Everyone fights to protect their Citadels, and in Hinamori Citadel Mutsunokami sets out to save Munechika's life and prove his story's worth.

Led by Sengo Muramasa as Unit 1 Captain, Hinamori Citadel does its meager but worthwhile part in the fight to protect everyone's histories.

3/8/2022:

-Hyuuga Masamune (arrives with supplies /half-joking)

In between these two dates, Kashuu Kiyomitsu goes on Kiwame and helps turn the tide. Munechika returns as well, and with Mutsunokami's help Hinamori Citadel is saved.

3/23/2022:

-Hakusan Yoshimitsu (Hinamori Citadel's final reward for their Great Invasion efforts)

5/20/2022: (Edo Castle)

-Kogarasumaru

In Hinamori Citadel canon, Fukushima Mitsutada arrives 6/18/2022. In reality it takes a much longer time for me.

July 2022:

-Mitsutada goes on Kiwame, resuming his on-again off-again flirting status.

-Fudou Yukimitsu also goes on Kiwame, and much for the better. ;v;

[cardfight-casual]

I might have mentioned that working around Kasen Kanesada’s skill was weird. Well Hachisuka Kotetsu’s skill is just as odd. Like with Kasen, I’m not super confident about this list, and there’s almost definitely a better way to build him, but sometimes there’s only so much you can do with a skill as underwhelming as this one. If nothing else, if you can get him to work for you, it would be very funny.

Deck Log Code: 8R68 Ride Deck: -x1 Hachisuka Kotetsu Kiwame -x1 Hachisuka Kotetsu Toku -x1 Hachisuka Kotetsu Sentou -x1 Hachisuka Kotetsu Main Deck:     Grade 3 -x3 Hachisuka Kotetsu Kiwame -x4 Hotarumaru -x3 Taroutachi -x3 Jiroutachi     Grade 2 -x2 Higekiri -x2 Hizamaru -x3 Nagasone Kotetsu -x3 Akashi Kuniyuki     Grade 1 -x4 Hakusanyoshimitsu -x3 Aizen Kunitoshi     Grade 0 -x4 Gotou Toushirou (Critical Trigger) -x4 Yagen Toushirou (Heal Trigger) -x3 Atsushi Toushirou (Critical Trigger) -x4 Hakata Toushirou (Draw Trigger) -x1 Hachisuka Kotetsu Shinken Hissatsu (Over Trigger)

Maybe it’s because of his vanity or hubris for his distaste for forgeries, but Hachisuka has maybe the worst vanguard skill of the five Touken Ranbu lines. That doesn’t mean you can’t make a functioning deck, but it’s definitely going to be weird. The only skill that Hachisuka has (not the only one that’s worth using, he literally only has one skill) is a continuous skill that gives his back row boost if you have five rearguards. That’s it. Which makes building around your vanguard either very easy or very difficult. Though this does let us run a lot of grade 2 and grade 3 without having to worry as much about having some grade 1 for the back row. Taroutachi and Jiroutachi are both grade 3 units that gain 10k power when their counterpart is on the board. They’re pretty straightforward, just make sure at least one of each of them is on rearguard and you get the boost. Then you can either use them to attack or take advantage of the given boost when your field is full for big columns. Higekiri and Hizamaru are similar, but they’re grade 2 and have to be in the front for the full effect. If you have both, then placing them in the front row while Taroutachi and Jiroutachi boost is a good option. Nagasone is just here because he benefits from the vanguard having Kotetsu in the name. He’s essentially always a 15k grade 2 since his skill is active on both players’ turns. The three units that could easily be replaced with something else are Hotarumaru, Akashi Kuniyuki, and Aizen Kunitoshi. Hotarumaru goes up by 5k or 10k when placed depending on whether or not the other player is grade 3 yet, and can return himself to hand with a counterblast if retired by your opponent. Akashi and Aizen are both to benefit from and to support Hotarumaru. By sending himself to soul and using a counterblast, Aizen can return an Ootachi or Tachi to hand when he boosts an Ootachi. This allows you to retrieve your Hotarumaru and play him again the next turn to get the 10k power. Akashi gets 5k power when Aizen is on the field and gains 5k shield when Hotarumaru is on the field. Basically this deck says get big number and doesn’t do much else. You could definitely mess around with other options if you want to retire rearguards or try out some other cards that have atypical skills. A few possible alternative choices for this deck would include: -Mikazuki Munechika     Here he is hanging out in the alternatives section again. He’s expensive, but if you have him already, there isn’t really any reason you couldn’t run him at three or four copies. As long as you have three damage, he automatically boosts himself by 5k when he attacks, and at five damage the re-stand is always nice. -Oodenta Mitsuyo     Speaking of weird cards, Oodenta is certainly an interesting one. If you persona rode that turn, when his attack hits any unit (it doesn’t have to be the vanguard), you can counterblast one to heal a damage. The number of damage your opponent has doesn’t matter, you just get to heal one. This card isn’t good for most decks since they tend to have a specific game plan, but Hachisuka can afford to run it since all his wants is a full board with big number. -Juzumaru Tsunetsugu, Tonbokiri, and Kokindenjunotachi    If you saw the Kasen Kanesada list, then you might remember these guys. Tonbokiri and Kokindenjunotachi are to let you play around the rest required in Juzumaru’s cost. Rather than giving any unit power, it makes your opponent 5k weaker. The ability to re-stand the board when persona riding is less important, but nice if Tonbokiri and Kokindenjunotachi aren’t on the field. -Shokudaikiri Mitsutada     You would mainly run him for the ability to give your front row an extra 5k. The removal skill could potentially be relevant if there’s an annoying front row rearguard and you can spare the soul. -Taikogane Sadamune     His skill isn’t really crucial, but it can net you an extra card. If you’re grade 3 and then place him, for a counterblast you call up to two units and draw a card if you called two. -Izuminokami Kanesada and Horikawa Kunihiro     If you play one of these, you might as well play them both. Both of them have a skill that gives them 5k power and both get benefits for being in the same column. Izuminokami gets the 5k as long as he’s boosted, but if Horikawa is the one boosting, then the other player has to guard with two or more cards at the same time. Horikawa gets to draw a card as long as he boosts an Uchigatana, but if he boosts Izuminokami, then he also gets the 5k. The cost can be a bit heavy with a counterblast, soulblast, and discard for the full effects, but if you run either of these cards, might as well run both. -Kogarasumaru     Like Oodenta, this card is a bit of a weird one. As long as he’s in the front row, if you check your Over Trigger, you put it into your hand instead of removing it from the game. This is extremely situational and unlikely to happen more than a handful of times, but if any deck could find space for this weird card, it’s this weird deck. -Nihongou    Not much to say about this dude. He’s a 13k base grade 3 that gets an extra 10k power as long as he was the first attack for the turn. -Otegine     Another grade 3, attacks an entire column if you need to get rid of back row units. -Suishinshi Masahide and Minamoto Kiyomaro     These are some of the only units that can call from the deck, and they only search out each other. A decent option if you consistently struggle to fill your board. -Sanchoumou, Kuwanagou, or Buzengo     Your standard resource management units. If you need more counterblasts or soulblasts, these are the guys to try. -Kogitsunemaru     He can only attack if his power is higher than 13k. This is not a good skill. He’s a 13k base grade 2 though, so he can boost or attack if you can get his power higher. -Sohayanotsurugi     He has an on-hit that lets you search for a copy of your vanguard, basically a persona ride searcher. He costs a counterblast and discard, and he’s unlikely to be allowed to hit, but you could always try him out. -Urashima Kotetsu     Despite being searchable as part of the rideline, I decided it was better to cut this boy entirely and save yourself a counterblast. He’s basically a 10k booster as long as there’s another unit in front of him. The only reason to re-add him would be for the Kotetsu name, but you’re already always going to have a Kotetsu because of your vanguard. -Doudanuki Masakuni, Azuki Nagamitsu, Nansen Ichimonji, and Matsuigou     A bunch of common grade 2 units that gain power. Doudanuki can gain 10k for a counterblast if you’re grade 3. Azuki gains 5k and prevents intercepts for a counterblast. Nansen gains 5k on place if you soulblast. Matsuigou gains 5k during your turn as long as your opponent has 3 or more damage. Varying usability, but all very similar. Up to player preference if you want to try any of them. -Chiyoganemaru, Chiganemaru, and Chattanakiri     These three benefit from the others being present. Chiyoganemaru calls a Chiganemaru from drop when placed from hand. Chiganemaru does the same for Chiyoganemaru. Chattanakiri gives 5k to a unit and lets you countercharge one if it was one of these other two units. That was a lot of alternative options, but since this deck’s winning image is so vague, you can do basically anything you want with it and just hope for the best. Remember, these deck lists are for fun and not necessarily optimized. If you have another card that you think would make a better fit, then go for it and test it out. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to send me a message! With that we’ve reached the end of the five ride lines introduced in Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- 2021. Lists for the 2023 set will come along eventually, but for a while it’ll be something else.

[incorrect-joseimuke]

Akashi: I’m doing my best.

Aizen: You’re not doing anything.

Akashi: Yes, that’s what I’m best at.

DEDICATED TO DARLING AKASHI KUNIYUKI WHO’S GETTING HIS FUCKING KIWAME ALONG WITH @sword-brainrot​ FOR THEIR BEAUTIFUL B E A U T I F U L WRITING THAT MAKES ME C R Y

I HOPE THIS PLEASES YOU DARLING!!! I ADORE YOU! And you had better be taking care of yourself! I will not have it if you are not properly eating, drinking, taking meds, and sleeping, hun! >:o

Fun fact: According to my friend Mei Mei, there’s a bit of a joke that Akashi will take at least a month to return from his Kiwame journey instead of the normal four days lmao. ALso I do not know if this is platonic? Romantic? Who fucking knows man. It can be seen as either?

The hat revolves around his finger as it would be your heart.

Always turning and twirling and churning, the man before you holding on to it with an iron grasp and refuses to let it go.

Honestly, you would rather let him have it.

“Don’t get lost, alright?” You chide, arms folded over your chest, and a laugh bubbling at your lips.

“Do you doubt me that much, master?” the purple haired man lets out a soft laugh, quirking a brow at your words; his chortles sending static down your spine.

You’re going to miss him.

A lot, really.

“You had better not.” Hotarumaru scolds, standing next to you, holding a carefully prepped boxed lunch for his guardian and fellow Rai sword. The three of you had spent all morning preparing it, even the ootachi had refused to let him leave without giving him something to eat. Well, if Hotarumaru didn’t eat all of the ingredients first…

“We’ll worry!” Aizen quips beside you, hands on his hips. “So you had better come back on time, Kuniyuki! Or else!”

“Oh?” The tachi only quirks a brow and stops the spinning of the hat, an amused amicable smirk, a hand reaching down to ruffle the hair of the little one beside you – black gloves a stark contrast to the locks of fire. “Or else? What will you do?”

“Look for you, of course.” There is no shred of hesitation from you, laughing as the warrior blinks in confusion. The snort of a chortle leaves you as you reach over to pat his shoulders, squeezing them lightly. “I trust you though, Akashi.”

“We all do!” the tantou proudly puffs out his chest at the words, “You had better come back quickly!”

Hotarumaru nods his head rapidly at the suggestion, handing his guardian the box of morsels. “For you.” Of course it was, Akashi did watch the terrifying trio try to make something for him after all – surprising all of you when he suddenly appeared in the kitchen doorway after watching your…attempts for at least thirty minutes.

What a way to wake up.

Akashi’s gloved hand takes the box from the ootachi, placing the straw hat upon his crown. There is a languid roll of his shoulders, the cape fluttering with his movements. “Master?” he questions, causing you to cock your head to the side.

“Yes?” There is hesitance within his eyes, teeth digging into his lower lip before he inhales deeply; confidence shimmering in his hues. “I…will have something to tell you, when I return.”

Ah, but there are many things he wishes to say and do. Far too many to count on his mortal digits.

How could he ever list them? His gratitude and things left unsaid, how he wanted to pour out his heart to you; to say things he could never say before. But he knew, perhaps after this journey of his, he could.

“Of course!” you cheer out with a grin. “I’ll be happy to listen to whatever you wish to say, Akashi.”

A pleased hum leaves the tachi’s lips, “You had better keep that promise, master,” there is a purr to his lips as he turns his back to you, spectacled eyes traveling beyond the gates of the citadel. A world he was meant to explore at his own pace.

Besides, the home he has to return to is waiting for him.

For a sword who is a good for nothing, lazy bastard.

Akashi Kuniyuki will return that favor you gave him: of life, love, and companionship. For reuniting him with Hotarumaru and Aizen, for giving him a chance.

He will return, better than ever.
