Saying I'm disappointed in what's happening is a huge understatement. I couldn't muster the energy of signing into my Honmaru after seeing the notice on the app's splash screen.

Touken Ranbu was enjoyable because it let me play at my own pace. Between my personal time, work, and fluctuating levels of motivation, it was really the only game that could wiggle itself comfortably into my free time.

But what I really appreciated the most was that there was no hardcore grinding or the competitive pressure of a ranking system. Like... I don't have the lifestyle anymore or resources for that. (I actually have a longstanding hard rule of not spending money on ANY game with in-app purchases or transactions... and Touken Ranbu was the only game where I broke that rule multiple times for the training recall pigeons. idk if it counts though because I used Google opinion rewards to buy koshu gold.)

Even with TKRB's smithing "gacha", I would not feel dread or remorse with the results of multiple pulls as I did with other games. (ex. A3!, BSTS, TWST. All of which I'm not playing anymore.) Sure there are limited/exclusive characters but they come back again somehow and your patience would feel rewarded.

Watching all the time and effort that many saniwas put in get wiped like it meant nothing is absolutely heartbreaking.

After losing all I've built up and collected, I have no plans to migrate to the JPN server. tbh, the thought of starting all over again is... nauseating. However, I do want to continue drawing the toudans because of how much I cherish them and I want to share with others the same joy TKRB has provided me.

As a player since the ENG release, it absolutely fucking sucks feeling like I'm being demoted from active participant to just some observer in the sidelines.

What's most irksome is how Johren was incredibly unprofessional and inconsiderate with how they handled this matter. So to any and all companies that bring popular series internationally and views its players/fans as an easy cash grab opportunity only to take a massive shit on that same audience's loyalty when it's time to protect the company's remaining profits and investors/shareholders... I wish you a very pleasant get fucked.

Apologies to anybody who read this verbal tantrum because it's probably the same echo of frustration as the all the others. I thought I would've learned better after A3!'s English server but I genuinely believed that Touken Ranbu wouldn't suffer the same fate.

I really don’t wanna take millions of screenshots, but just to quickly explain, the whole music video is based on parallels (obviously). But the thing is that none of it is the same, more mashed up (ex. them looking as if they’re all drugged so it’s all fcked up). In HYYH and Wings, they would portray their actions followed with a similar reaction from another member (their pairing) as if they feel the same emotions, but not this music video. I believe Seokjin is the only one aware that there are different parallel universes that exist (his song being “Awake”).

The biggest scene that tied all this together was this:

This is some serious sci-fy shit going on idk BIGHIT. The only reason there would be a wormhole is because it leads to another dimension. Seokjin is the only one present, so he must be aware of all that is happening to them.

In the beginning, we see Namjoon offer Jungkook a drink. But what’s important is that motel sign behind them. (Yoongi was staying in the motel during INU)

Another strong factor is Jimin walking through a corridor that looks nearly identical to Seokjin’s in his “Awake” music video. This leads me to believe that Jimin was close to figuring out his true reality. When he’s opening the door, his other self that is with Yoongi makes a shocked face. Once the door is open, Jimin is flinged back to this other dimension and was not able to reach reality. I’d also like to add that in their HYYH & Wings stories, it always confused me whether Jimin was important or not. Sometimes they would focus on him, but I couldn’t figure out why. I’m going to say it’s because he was the other person who was trying to figure out what was going on besides Seokjin.

And right after this happens, once again, we are shown cracked faces, the cracked ground, etc. I mentioned this a loooong time ago when INU was released. Shattered/broken glass or object is a metaphor for a shattered reality.

Seokjin being aware of everything going on, maybe that’s why he started beating up Tae. Maybe he wanted Tae to stab him so he could keep him from murdering his father in INU. Not to mention Seokjin tells Tae that he’s sorry while beating him up. He wanted to do it for his own good even if he couldn’t understand.

And after Tae stabs Seokjin, we see him climb to the roof and looking as if he’s about to jump just like in the Prologue.

If it weren’t about different dimensions, why bother adding I Need U at the very end. We see Seokjin hand over a lighter to Namjoon (his character is suppose to be a smoker. not really a lollipop, but a cigarette). But the thing is that Namjoon says, “Jin hyung?!” in a very shocked tone. Then followed by Seokjin saying, “It’s been awhile”. How long has it been since they seen each other?

I’ll add more when I come across them. OR BETTER YET, add your own to this post. My eyes are already tired from all the colors in this mv. :-)
