I think Ufotable Touken Ranbu is actually appears in Ikedaya-Inn, I watch the trailer and I think they are going to animate in world 6 (Ikedaya-Inn). The main characters are Izuminokami (Kane-san), Mutsunokami and Mikazuki (Jiji). I think the overall background shows about the Shinsengumi? I have a feeling they are going to betray each other. If a Toudan go back to the past, change history and met their former master, if their formal master knows that human is a sword, the present day will be a mess and dangerous. If one Toudan does that, the other Toudan will not trust him and being his enemy as he change the history. In Touken Ranbu Hanamaru, the main characters are Yamatonokami Yasusada and Kashuu Kiyomitsu (also Hasebe did u know dat?) In Touken Ranbu Hanamaru, most likely to be focus on Shinsengumi? and more info about their masters. Maybe a Toudan will met his master in the past...Especially the ones who really wants to save their master. Why does Mutsunokami and Izuminokami being the main characters in Ufotable? As an anti-Bakufu activist, Sakamoto often had to hide from Tokugawa’s forces such as the Shinsengumi. He preferred the new machinery in the form of a gun over the sword to protect himself, but still proudly wore Mutsunokami while roaming the streets of Edo. Mutsunokami's former master was Sakamoto Ryouma and  fought out of Teradaya using a Smith & Wesson revolver, the same one that Mutsunokami held, while being chased down by Bakufu police. During the assassination, Sakamoto reached for Mutsunokami instead of his gun by reflex to defend himself but the assassin cut through his sheath before he could draw out the sword. And he held Mutsunokami as his guardian sword till the end. The Shinsengumi was a special police force organized by the Bakufu (Military Gonverment) during Japan's Bakumatsu's period (late shogun) in 1864. So you can say that Mutsunokami's master, Sakamoto Ryouma is an enemy of Shinsengumi (idk if im wrong be nice 2me ok? :3) As for Kane-san and Horikawa,  Both swords belonging to Hijikata Toshizou, the first map of this game allows you to take them to the Battle of Hakodate where Hijikata was killed. If you read the game’s background setting, the enemies that they fight in this game are the forces who are trying to change history. In particular, the boss of this map is trying to  prevent Hijikata’s death. They destroy this boss in order to ensure that Hijikata would die according to history. He was said to be spoiled at an early age and was alleged to be mean to all but his friends and family. This changed when a 21-year-old swordsman from the Aizu  clan known for opposing the Reformists was forced to commit seppuku  (ritual suicide). When Hijikata attended the man's funeral, he apparently cried in public. In 1863, he andKondo Isami (Nagasone Kotetsu's former master)  formed the Shinsengumi. Kondō and two other men, Serizawa Kamo  and Niimi Nishiki , became joint leaders of the group, and Hijikata served as one of the deputy leaders. Shinsengumi served as a special  force in Kyoto  that fought against the Reformists under Matsudaira Katamori, the Daimyo  of Aizu. <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">Shinsengumi within Kyoto were strict and Hijikata was known to be harsh in enforcing them, hence his nickname: "The Merciless Vice Commander of Shinsengumi". Even within the Shinsengumi itself, regulations were strictly enforced by Hijikata. Deserters and traitors were forced to commit seppuku; this happened to Yamanami (one of Hijikata's old friends) when he tried to leave Shinsengumi in 1865. <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">After Kondo surrendered to the Imperial Loyalist Army and was executed on May 17, 1868, Hijikata led the Shinsengumi in their final battles against the new government. <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Hijikata was killed while in combat on horseback by a bullet that shattered his lower back. A week after his death, Goryōkaku fortress was taken, and the military of Ezo Republic surrendered to the Meiji gonverment <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> on June 27, 1869. <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">It is unknown where Hijikata was buried, but a cenotaph <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> stands near Itabashi Station <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> in Tokyo <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">, next to Kondō Isami's. Among the things entrusted to Ichimura Tetsunosuke shortly before Hijikata's death were his death poem, a photograph of himself, a few strands of his hair, two swords, and a letter addressed to Sato Hikogoro. The death poem entrusted to Ichimura Tetsunosuke<span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> reads:  ''Though my body may decay on the island of Ezo, My spirit guards my lord in the east. ''<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">He appears under the name Hijikata Toshiro, <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">  <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">in which he is also the vice chief of the Shinsengumi, and is nicknamed "The Demon Vice Chief". As for Nagasone's former master, Kondo Isami,  <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">was arrested under the alias of Okubo Yamato and executed by the new government (formed mostly by the samurai of the Choshu Han <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> and the Satsuma Han <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">) as a direct result of being accused of the murder of Sakamoto Ryouma (Mutsunokami's former master). <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Even after ex-Mimawarigumi member Imai Nobuo's confession in 1870, Tani insisted that Kondō was not falsely accused for Sakamoto's murder. (Even though the most accepted theory is that the mastermind of the assassination <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> was Sasaki Tadasaburō of the Mimawarigumi, officially, it is still a mystery.) Ithink this whole series of Ufotable, world 6 - Ikedaya-Inn, Mutsunokami and Izuminokai (Kane-san) also Jiji <3 (Mikazuki Munechika) going to be the main characters and the background of the ufotable Touken Ranbu where Mutsu stand (trailer) and there is a scene in episode 1, the Toudans mentioned along with Kashuu and Mutsunokami, "''Perhaps they'll attack the Sinsengumi and make it so the Ikeda-Inn Incident never happened. That way, the plans of the anti-shogunate faction succeed." - Kashuu. " And Kyoto becomes a sea of fire, huh?" - Mutsunokami. ''This is a clue that this mention is similar to the Ufotable Touken Ranbu trailer... Apperently, overall about the Shinsengumi. In the game, world 6, Tachi, Oodachi, Yari and Naginata is not good in night battles and narrow battlefields. So instead, Tantou, Wakizashi and Uchigatana is good at night battles and narrow battlefields in world 6. So main characters Mutsunokami and Izuminokami are classified as Uchigatana so this is the hint of the next series. Also Jiji starring as the main character <3 but I want Akashi Kuniyuki to be the main character instead XD the lazy bum is actually my favourite character. Apperently, the theory of Akashi Kunyuki might be a traitor as he wants to change history for his most favourable Hotarumaru and also Aizen. Akashi obtain in map 6-2 so I think he will betray like Saruhiko and I think other Toudans as well to change history like Yasusada wants to save Okita, Imanotsurugi wants to save  Minamoto No Yoshitsune from commited seppuku (ritual suicide). One by one... The cheerful Toudans of Touken Ranbu Hanamaru will become traitors and hatred, despair and desperate for saving their masters and present day will be ruin...so I think the next series of Touken Ranbu Ufotable will be like that but I don't want them to be sad and depress... I want all of my precious babies to be happy, hope Ookanehira will come back home :3 Speaking of that, will the new characters of Touken Ranbu in the game will show up in upcoming series of this game to anime? I want Monoyoshi tho~ <3
