'''1. What is your name and which server is your citadel in?'''

Champ, I'm in 備中国

'''2. When did you start serving as a saniwa? Please display your battle records.'''

Don't really want to display my battle record but I started this February and I'm a level 118 saniwa now!

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

My starter was Hachisuka. He got to level 99 first and now he's mostly chilling around and occasionally going to world 7 to help out.

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

^ Hachisuka! I think he's a really reliable starter compared to the others. Once I trained him it was difficult to not set crazy high standards for the other starters and uchigatana... that being said, I do wish he and Nagasone got along a bit better.

'''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.'''

Primary team is currently all-kiwame team that's grinding for Kikkou in world 7!

2nd and 3rd party are mostly retired (lvl99) swords doing 12-hour expeditions while 4th party is doing the 18-hour or 15-hour one.

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

Tantou are the cutest! So I love them most. Wakizashi are also a lively bunch but it's a pity their leaderships are so low so are less useful in battles...

'''7. Next, we come to the usual questions. List the swords that you like and your thoughts on them.'''

To be honest everyone has a place in my heart so I really can't choose. Whenever I have to draw a certain sword I always think about them a lot and I end up liking them too. That being said, I don't play with some swords nearly enough. I hope one day another regiment battle will come so I can use them all!

'''8. Are there any pairings that you like? If there, please list them. (No limit on type.)'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">I don't do pairings, everyone is part of a gigantic happy family :)

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">any two swords can be a pairing and I'll like that!

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''9. Is your citadel an employee-friendly citadel or a black-hearted citadel that works your swords to the bone?'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">It was very employee-friendly until this war expansion event... now they're almost always on sorties when I am free OTL I must give them a long break after October's double exp ends...

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''10. Have you ever done anything weird to your swords?'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">... not really sure what "weird" is supposed to mean. Though I change my tagline according to who has just recently come home.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''11. Have you ever broken a sword? What happened, and who did you break?'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">I broke Akita on purpose to see what would happen if you broke a sword who was doing internal affairs at the time. Results ommitted. That was the shadiest day of my life and I don't look back on it fondly.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''12. Who loses troops the most in your citadel? And who is the most skilled at making troops?'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">Hard to say when all the yari at world 7 are taking troops off like picking apples off trees. And everyone is equally good at making troops!!

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''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="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">YES that would be Monoyoshi and Sada-chan. It was nonstop grinding, even when I was at work I was playing under the table etc... they eventually came here but I think it took a lot of fun out of playing touken ranbu.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''14. Are you superstitious? (www)'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">Nooooo

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''15. What made you join the TKRB fandom in the beginning? How about now?'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">GREAT people, GREAT artists, GREAT fanfics, GREAT videos, GREAT everything.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">I've made a lot of friends now and it's hard to leave! lol.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''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="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">don't we all wanna burn map 7 lol

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''17. Are there any game systems or improvements that you hope DMM will implement?'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">Please give us more kiwame sets T-T and stop making world 7 so hard, my resources are rock bottom!!!!

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''18. If DMM cooperates on an event with another game/anime/etc., what would you like to see?'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">Not really sure... I'd probably play it regardless :)

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''19. Have you spent money playing TKRB? If so, how much? If not, do you plan to?'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">Once I spent it to make 1 more forgery and 2 more repairs, then expanded sword slots and troop slots OTL I think that must have been at least $40... I don't plan to spend anymore money though, unless I'm super busy and it'll make my life easier.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''20. Is there any merchandise that you would like to buy or see?'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">Sada-chan stuff!! I love that kid

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''21. Have you done any fanwork (fanfiction, fanart, etc.)? If so, what?'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">Oh boy the mountain of fanwork I've done is embarrassingly large I don't even want to think about this...

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''22. What do you think you are like as a saniwa?'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">UH... I think my swords would think I'm pretty high maintenance haha. I always want someone to be talking to me and I get upset easily. But I always make sure everyone is in good condition and give out the best troops if possible. Tl;dr reliable but needy (oh my god)

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''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="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">OMG WHAT IS THIS QUESTION. I-i don't really want to make anybody suffer more than they already have but it'd probably be Atsu. He said I could rely on him for anything right...??

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''24. The government has asked you to write a report: how would you describe the situation in your citadel?'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">Many reunions lately with new drops and kiwames returning home. Everyone is holding up well. The swordsmith has not been fired (yet). Tsurumaru has not burnt down the citadel. Everything is fine except for my coal resources...

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">'''25. What do you think of the Retrograding Army?'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;">I would like to know more about them! Like where they came from, what they'd like to do apart from changing history, who they're trying to protect, that kind of stuff.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;margin-bottom:0px!important;">'''26. Lastly, please say something about TKRB from the bottom of your heart!'''

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Touken Ranbu has realy transformed the way I feel. I used to feel really alone ; now I am still mostly alone but I don't feel that way anymore because I just imagine I'm the saniwa and there's always a tantou nearby wanting to play games or something! And it has allowed me to progress in my art and fanfictions in many ways that other fandoms didn't allow me to. I'm very grateful to this game.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-weight:normal;margin-left:24pt;font-size:14px;text-indent:-24pt;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Also I really love the community, especially this one because it shows just how dedicated and nice some people can be! I did not have to use the wiki much because I can read Japanese. But I can imagine for those who can't, this game would be a total no-no. So thank you touken ranbu for bringing saniwas together and please please pleaset can Kikkou come home already T-T
