Sorry, mine is quite lengthy ^^;;

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

くりむら || Chikuzen no Kuni

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

July 12th || http://puu.sh/m67MC/e25844a074.png

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

Yamanbagiri Kunihiro || Level 99 || Out on Expedition

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

Hotarumaru || He’s very strong and has naisu asf legs.

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.

Team 1 || Sword grinding squad

Team 2, 3, 4 || out on eternal expeditions

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

Tachi || probably because a lot of them have nice character designs~

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

Heshikiri Hasebe || His sense of loyalty and duty to his current master is very honorable. He seems very understanding though strict at times.

Mikazuki Munechika || Aside from being called as jiji by everybody, he lives up to his age. I like to think of him as a wise ossan that has seen and been through a lot over the past years, some good and some bad. Yet he remains relatively laid back, and knows how to crack a joke or two once in awhile. Very respectable.

Yamanbagiri Kunihiro || I find him very encouraging because although he was created as a replica of Yamanbagiri Chougi, he has his own sense of justice and personality. He goes out of his way to do things that separates him from the other and I find that very admirable.

Other notable swords that I like (though i don’t really have anything touching to say about them) Tsurumaru Kuninaga, Kogitsunemaru, Izuminokami Kanesada, Monoyoshi Sadamune, Ookurikara, etc.

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

Mikazuki & Tsurumaru || Nihongou & Hasebe || Mitsutada & Ookurikara || Mikazuki & Kogitsunemaru || Tsurumaru & Ichigo || Mikazuki & Yamanbagiri lol

Kogitsunemaru & Nakigitsune is absolutely NOT ok. Burn this ship.

9. Is your citadel an employee-friendly citadel or a black-hearted citadel that works your swords to the bone?

It used to be a black-hearted citadel when I was still missing swords, but now we’ve been pretty chill. Just an occasional sortie or two to complete dailys.

10. Have you ever done anything weird to your swords?

I’ve physically touched my monitor’s screen, once, when I obtained and set Akashi Kuniyuki as leader in my citadel. I have the snapchat video saved in my camera roll to prove though I’m not really fond of sharing it.

11. Have you ever broken a sword? What happened, and who did you break?

Taroutachi || Level 81 || I was grinding on 5-3 for Uguisumaru and I went into a KBC battle w/o knowing because I was watching Netflix on another window. It’s daijoubu because he was just a spare, although it did haunt me in a few nightmares for awhile.

Honebami Toushirou || Level 90 || I was grinding on 6-4 for Nihongou and I was 1 node away from the boss so I advanced, and then he broke. I later spent 3 sleepless days grinding another copy to his original state :’))

12. Who loses troops the most in your citadel? And who is the most skilled at making troops?

Shishiou || He can’t hold on to troops even if his life depended on it :’) literally!

Monoyoshi Sadamune || 6 out of 10 troops created were golden. He's good at making long range troops.

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.

I've gone and used 30+ help tokens in one day on my 6-2 team to finally obtain Akashi.

I’ve also gone as far as to waste 59 help tokens during the Nihongou War Training Expansion Event, but got no note worthy swords other than Hakata Toushirou.

I’ve also thrown away 41k koban during the Village of Treasures event to obtain Monoyoshi Sadamune in a little over 2 days into the event. Which was worth by the way, because by the time the event had ended my Monoyoshi was level 99 :^)

14. Are you superstitious? (www)

Occasionally || conditional rng man.

15. What made you join the TKRB fandom in the beginning? How about now?

Them MikaTsuru fanarts :^) || Now I’m just here waiting for new swords to appear. And discovering new artists along the way, and hoping for some renowned VAs to join the ever growing cast.

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?)

2-4 || Great map for getting level 1 swords to toku (level 20 or 25)

Entirety of map 4 || Long map with lots of nodes, perfect for training swords other than tantous to useable levels.

I get lost on map 5-3 and 5-4 the most. Troll dice is troll.

Burn all of world 6 || the enemy yaris do way too much damage for comfort :S

17. Are there any game systems or improvements that you hope DMM will implement?

A way to remove all swords at once on a team tab with the exception of citadel leader.

More events like the The Village of Treasures/ Underground Treasure Chest where the new swords are guaranteed rather than relying on shitty RNG drops.

<span class="_5yi-" style="font-weight:bold;">18. If DMM cooperates on an event with another game/anime/etc., what would you like to see?

I would love to see a talk radio featuring Hakuouki x Touken Ranbu, Gintama x Touken Ranbu, or Shinsengumi Wasurenagusa x Touken. I just hope DMM/Nitroplus just stick to their official merchs such as the anthology light novels and mangas, though a crossover would be pretty darn amazing :') especially if it's from Gintama, haha.

<span class="_5yi-" style="font-weight:bold;">19. Have you spent money playing TKRB? If so, how much? If not, do you plan to?

I got the free 500 DMM points and spent that. Fast forward to now, I’ve gone and thrown around 5k yen at this game for sword slots and troop space. Along with a few standard omamoris (taking advantage of the daily discount btw) I'm rather flesible with spending money on this game since I can't support the developers directly due to living in the states and our limited Japanese good imports :> I might spend a bit more in the far future, though it depends if I’ll still be playing and <span class="_5yi- _5yi_" style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">how deep do I wanna fall into this hell pit.

<span class="_5yi-" style="font-weight:bold;">20. Is there any merchandise that you would like to buy or see?

I would like to see an official DMM/Nitroplus life-sized sword plush pillow that is strippable. I’d buy a Tsurumaru one in a breath. (joke but if it happens, you can bet your ass i’d throw my money at it. Even if international shipping costs twice more than the original price of the merch //screams)

Waiting for a Touken Ranbu Kenran Zuroku Artbook v2. I was quite disappointed to not see Hakata in it considering the fact he was released before Nihongou.

<span class="_5yi-" style="font-weight:bold;">21. Have you done any fanwork (fanfiction, fanart, etc.)? If so, what?

I have an embarrassing amount of unfinished sketches that just aren’t up to my standards so I lose interest in completing them.

Examples || Higekiri & Hizamaru doodle WIP of Mikazuki vs. Tsurumaru Traditional Kogitsunemaru Sketch WIP of Honebami & Namazuo Chibis

<span class="_5yi-" style="font-weight:bold;">22. What do you think you are like as a saniwa?

Overly attached probably || too friendly || most definitely lazy || a bit too touchy || needy || annoying || stubborn || maybe borderline bipolar at times || but very determined when it comes to getting what I want

<span class="_5yi-" style="font-weight:bold;">23. If the government asked you to choose a sword to kill yourself with in terms of an emergency, who would you pick?

I wouldn’t want to burden any of my swords with such horrid task... but if I absolutely had to choose:

Heshikiri Hasebe or Ookurikara || execution style || I feel either one of these two will get the job done without their emotions getting in the way, like other saniwas have previously stated v.v

For seppuku, I really can’t choose a tantou, though Yagen or Gotou is probably the one I could rely on shouldering the burden. But tbh I’d rather just grab Mutsunokami’s gun and off myself that way. Though the most probable outcome is just fuck it all and flee-

<span class="_5yi-" style="font-weight:bold;">24. The government has asked you to write a report: how would you describe the situation in your citadel?

TBH- I’d have Hasebe-san write it for me, but if that isn’t an option I’d probably just scribble an ‘okay’ on a napkin and send that in. But then again, I’m so lazy, I might even forget to send it in the first place :'D

<span class="_5yi-" style="font-weight:bold;">25. What do you think of the Retrograding Army?

Annoyingly persistent, though I do wish to know more about their origin and what their purpose/goal/intentions are in detail.

<span class="_5yi-" style="font-weight:bold;">26. Lastly, please say something about TKRB from the bottom of your heart!

I hate that I love this game. But I'm grateful for DMM/Nitroplus for making it because a few months ago, I was in a really dark place in my life. This game saved me in a way, and I'm finally happy after feeling depressed for over 3 years.

I hope that when I die, all the swords that I broke will mock me from the edge of the hell hole
