Battle Records

'''3. Which starter sword did you pick? What is he doing now? '''

Yamanbagiri Kunihiro; he’s currently grinding World 5 along with the rest of my current Squad 2.

'''4. Who is the first among your swords to reach the maximum level? What do you think of him? '''

None of my swords have reached Lv99 yet, but it’s going to be someone from Squad 2 (Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, Mikazuki Munechika, Tsurumaru Kuninaga, Shokudaikiri Mitsutada, Ookurikara, Shishiou). It’s also highly possible that they’ll all reach Lv99 in the same day.

I like all of them quite a bit except for Shishiou. I don’t hate him, but he’s there because he showed up in the citadel early enough to snag a place in the squad.

'''5. Who do you have in each of your squads, and how do you use them? If you haven’t unlocked all four teams yet, briefly describe how you plan to organize them. '''

Squad 1: tantous training for World 6

Squad 2: the World 5 exploration team, also known as the Kogitsunemaru search team. They used to be Squad 1, but I wanted them to go on expeditions.

Squad 3: the swords around Lv30, formed because I want to level Ichigo Hitofuri up.

Squad 4: swords with levels in the upper 40s and lower 50s

'''6. Without considering the performance of the swords, which type of sword do you prefer? '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Uchigatana and taichi.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''7. Next, we come to the usual questions. List the swords that you like and your thoughts on them. '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Yamanbagiri Kunihiro—I picked him as my starter sword as he was the only one of the five that was actually my type; also, he was voiced by Maeno Tomoaki, whom I liked because of his performance in the Tsukiuta series. He’s really capable as a sword, and his sensitivity makes him easy to tease.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Mikazuki Munechika—he is the reason that I started playing TKRB in the first place, because I really liked his seiyuu, Toriumi Kousuke. I was really lucky to smith him very early on in the game (within the first two weeks of playing, if I remember correctly). I think my view of him has been somewhat twisted by the fanfics I found online though.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Shokudaikiri Mitsutada—I didn’t feel very strongly about him in the beginning: pretty hot, fairly capable, had an eyepatch (which I think makes characters look cool), but that’s about it. Then I read some Mikanba fanfics in which Mitsutada made cameos, watched a few MMD videos, and oh my goodness how does this guy manage to be so handsome and cute and sexy at the same time.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Ookurikara—He really was ‘just another taichi’ in the beginning. After I fell for Mitsutada, I started reading Kurimitsu fics, and discovered that Kuri-chan was an adorable tsudere. Then I leveled him up at an insane speed in order to let him join the squad Mitsutada’s in.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Tsurumaru Kuninaga—he’s hot, he’s capable, he’s pretty funny, and he reminds me of Shimotsuki Shun from Tsukiuta.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''8. Are there any pairings that you like? If there, please list them. (No limit on type.) '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Mikazuki Munechika/Yamanbagiri Kunihiro (mikanba), Ookurikara/Shokudaikiri Mitsutada (kurimitsu), Tsurumaru Kuninaga/Ichigo Hitofuri (tsuruichi)

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''9. Is your citadel an employee-friendly citadel or a black-hearted citadel that works your swords to the bone? '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">I’m generally pretty nice to my swords. I don’t send them to the front lines if they are fatigued, and I usually send them to repairs before they reach light damage.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''10. Have you ever done anything weird to your swords? '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">…no…

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''11. Have you ever broken a sword? What happened, and who did you break? '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">I nearly broke Ookurikara when I was trying to get him to Shiken Hissatsu. I had removed all of his troops and only repaired him when he reached heavy damage, because the game won’t let you sortie with the team leader at heavy damage. Then I got annoyed, so I put someone else as the team leader, and Ookurikara broke in one hit from the enemy. Luckily, I had given him an omamori on a whim, so he made it through.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">By the way, Mitsutada happened to be my assistant sword that day…

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''12. Who loses troops the most in your citadel? And who is the most skilled at making troops? '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">I don’t actually remember who is the best at making troops, but I know that Iwatooshi loses troops…a lot.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''13. Another common question: have you ever done something with all of your might in order to get a particular sword? Please describe what you did and the results. '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Not really. I gripe about not getting certain swords (Kogitsunemaru, and Ichigo Hitofuri before he dropped in 5-4), but I’m pretty satisfied with the members of my citadel right now.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''14. Are you superstitious? (www) '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">A little; I’m pretty sure Mikazuki Munechika showed up really early in my citadel because I used to put songs by his seiyuu on loop.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''15. What made you join the TKRB fandom in the beginning? How about now? '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Mikazuki Munechika (Toriumi Kousuke); these days there are a lot more boys keeping me in the fandom.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''16. What do you think of the current maps? (For example: which map is good for training/grinding, which maps do you get lost in the most, which map do you want to burn?) '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Any map without KBC is a good map to train in. And I don’t need to burn a map, I just need to burn those rarity-5 yaris.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''17. Are there any game systems or improvements that you hope DMM will implement? '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">I’m hoping for a way to get rid of KBC from the maps, especially the earlier ones. It would also be nice if we could have a bigger say in which enemies our swords attacked (because there’s not much point in Dual Awakening an enemy whose troops are already destroyed).

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''18. If DMM cooperates on an event with another game/anime/etc., what would you like to see? '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Hakuouki or Sengoku BASARA would be most amusing…and angsty.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''19. Have you spent money playing TKRB? If so, how much? If not, do you plan to? '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Nope, and I don’t plan to spend money on the game.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''20. Is there any merchandise that you would like to buy or see? '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">I want to buy Kenran Zuroku, and I’ve already ordered the 2016 planner. Studs with the sword crests would be cool.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''21. Have you done any fanwork (fanfiction, fanart, etc.)? If so, what? '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Nothing yet, though there are a few ideas bouncing around in my head.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''22. What do you think you are like as a saniwa? '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Someone who’s pretty easy-going about progress against the Retrograding Army and more focused on the happiness and health of the swords.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''23. If the government asked you to choose a sword to kill yourself with in terms of emergency, who would you pick? '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">I don’t think I can burden any one of them with this task…

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''24. The government has asked you to write a report: how would you describe the situation in your citadel? '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Progress is slow, but safe. Ichigo Hitofuri requests money to buy ACs for his younger brothers; the Awataguchi family and Ookurikara are requesting money for a safer stove.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''25. What do you think of the Retrograding Army? '''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd">Haven’t they heard of the Grandfather Paradox? They should be thanking us saniwa for continuing their miserable existence in this world!

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">'''26. Lastly, please say something about TKRB from the bottom of your heart.'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:24.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0gd; text-indent:-24.0pt;mso-list:l0level1lfo1"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:新細明體;mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language: ZH-TW;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">Hooray for TKRB!
