sorter updates (Dec 20 2023)

hello saniwas, happy end of 2023!

winter regi brings a new sword as usual, which means...

🎊 Goke Kanemitsu has been added to the sorter!

man, the osafune really are well dressed, aren't they? the uesugis are one of my personal favorite sword groups (cough what a surprise, I love himetsuru and gokotai) so I'm happy to see another one in game, especially one that's friends with hime!

may your chaos stages be merciful! have a happy holidays if you celebrate any winter (or summer!) solstice-y events, wherever you are☃️

have your favorite touken danshi rankings changed this year? or have they never kept still in the first place? (mine seem to be kind of consistent at the top and the rest is a mess depending on what new content came out recently)

I hope that your swords continue to offer you comfort as we time travel into the future ☆*:･ﾟ✧

sorter updates 17 Oct 2023

Hi everyone, hope you all had a relaxing break (like me lol) or had the windfall of your dreams in UTC

🏯 Magoroku Kanemoto has been added!

All the best of luck in smithing him & with SI drops :)

sorter update Aug 2, 2023

hi everyone, hope you're doing well.

🖤 Kyougoku Masamune has been added, so you should be able to include him in your new sorter rankings now!

sorry if this post comes off kind of muted, normally I'd be excited out of my mind for a new masamune but still just generally... bummed over the death of EN version :')

anyways, have a happy rest of August! take care of yourselves and stay hydrated \o/

[tkrbsorter]

hi, hyuuga is my favorite son if you'd like to draw him. I... feel like it was just yesterday that I was excited to expand his family tree by smithing ishida. and I was so proud of finally ranbu 5'ing hyuuga last month. Sorry, I just feel incredibly lost and am rambling now. If you find it easier to draw non-tantous, nikkari is very precious to me as well :)

First of all, I want to say thank you for creating the sorter~ It's always fun to see how the toudans perform in my rankings!

Congrats on your hard work in supporting your favorite tanto! (There was already a Hyuuga request but I couldn't resist a quick doodle of him to celebrate with you.)

[tkrbsorter]

hi again, it's me, the person behind the sorter that takes so long to complete. I promise this is a one-off post.

in honor of the end of TKRB EN/Traditional CN, I give you this performance from the depths of my soul. I only know how to cope with full shitposting.

as a gentle reminder, saniwa are organizing at https://discord.gg/9dWV9wTX3y in hopes of saving our citadels. all right, back to scheduled silence

johren server shutdown

Hi everyone,

A more serious post today instead of a real update.

As you may know already, Touken Ranbu’s English and Taiwanese servers (including Android/Apple versions) are shutting down in August. We received our final update this past maintenance. If you’d like to voice your opinion together with others affected by this change, some saniwa are starting an email campaign to Johren (more details https://discord.gg/9dWV9wTX3y).

I don’t know if I will try to start playing the Japanese version. It will feel different without all of my swords. I’m putting my affairs in order :laugh: by writing parting letters to some of my swords, as well as headcanoning where each toudan goes-- whether they wish to keep fighting in a friend’s citadel, pursue a hobby, retire, find a more compatible citadel somewhere else, or become KBC. I may post these letters on a separate tumblr just so I can have them for... I don’t even know what. My own grief, I suppose.

I wish all my fellow EN and TW saniwas comfort during this difficult time.

Anyways, the part that’s actually relevant to this tumblr:

I will continue to update the sorter and the kiwame level calculator even as my own journey comes to an end. I don’t wish to rip these community resources away from anyone who uses them.

sorter changes (June 20 2023)

Happy Summer Regi time! 🏖️

🐚 Jikkyuu Mitsutada, the new Summer Regi sword for this year, has been added to the sorter! (I can’t help but feel like his sprite is asking for a hug haha)

As always, good luck with regi drops + to anyone smithing Chiyo! 🌴

Happy pride month 🌈! Remember, if you don’t get the sword you want, it’s TKRB being homophobic. /joking

sorter changes (Apr 25 2023)

Hi wonderful people,

- 👠 Ishida Masamune has been added to the sorter. Hyuuga is my favorite sword, so words cannot express how happy I am to see him finally get some family. Also, whaaat, more Hachisuka recolls?? Best of luck to all of you in your smithing endeavors!

- 📋 There’s now a button in the plain text results pop up window that automatically copies your rankings to your clipboard :) It’s not much, but it’s something!

- I’ve been working on other changes under the hood here and there (including investigating ways to speed up the sorting process). It takes a lot of time and motivation to sift through legacy code at the end of a long work week 🫠

- Also, the new sakura fubuki (energy) mechanics are awful... why is it like this...

[tkrbsorter]

sorter changes (Jan 13 2023)

- 🎱 Hacchou Nenbutsu added!

(he seems super energetic and fun at first glance, so I think he’d make fast friends with sada-chan and mutsunokami, haha)

good luck on smithing, as usual. happy 8th anniversary, saniwas!

Updates to calculator

hi everyone! I updated a simple kiwame level calculator (link) I wrote a while back.

It lets you calculate the level kiwame your sword will return as after training based on either

1) its current unkiwamed level + (optional) remaining exp until next level or

2) its current cumulative exp amount.

Option 2 is now available thanks to the changes where swords can store extra exp even when maxed, and the recent UI change that lets you see how much exp they have, so I thought I’d finally give it a good ol’ update. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Anyways, happy playing! And good luck with new year’s smithing events if you’re participating :)
