Introduction[]
A portal to Tenpou Edo has momentarily opened where history’s been altered! With the arrival of a mysterious transmission, the citadel is called to sortie one squad, consisting of five members to the year 1843! You are to cooperate with the inspector on-site and work towards completing the given mission. Players are encouraged to deploy Hachisuka Kotetsu, as he is featured in the event. The event also features 15 pages worth of event-specific recollections, all of them surrounding Hachisuka Kotetsu and the two new swords Suishinshi Masahide and Minamoto Kiyomaro, both of whom can be obtained from this event.
