⚠️Announcement⚠️

Nagato!bot

Since our moderator also has engagement about Touken Ranbu Musical, Stage, Live Action and other francise such as Hanamaru, Katsugeki (hopeless for wishing the season 2, sad), Touken Kai, and Touken Musou, the staff will be arranged starting from December. So, one of our staff would be no longer updating the gameplay from our moderator.

However, the gameplay from our moderator will be held by our aide. A good news for us because you can interact with the aide who probably get exchanged anytime. It depends on our moderator mood.

Prepare your question or any post on 'Asking Box'. Because:

The aide exchange will be posted by picture of homescreen

There is a chance to ask anything about your favorite touken danshi. So you may ask anything there

As our moderator sometimes get confused to change, the previous aide will have a vote for next aide

For asking our aide, type 'Aide!bot'.

That's all for the announcement. I hope you guys get interested for this update. Thank you very much and keep follow up our blog for many updates.

See you next day.

Moderator!bot

Hello, this is @ask-misun-and-oc as the moderator of ask-saniwas want to ask apologize about the long updates. Here, i want to say something for all of you.

First, i want to say thank you to keep 'like and reblog' this post. I feel like this blog has less interaction than i expected. But don't worry. I will keep posting anything about Touken Ranbu.

Second, there will be simplication of event's update that usually i post including 'how to play' and 'tips and tricks' one by one which took long time. Now, i will make the post about 'how to play' and 'tips and tricks' in one page. So, the next event will be post only the reward of Touken Danshi.

Third, recently i fight for my mental issues due to the conflict between my parents about my carrier. I do freelance writing for copywriting, content writing, and i also do part-time job teaching. But now, i feel like i didn't gain much money which disappointed my parents. As the concequences, my parents 'forced' me with very very gentle (but hurting) to apply civil servant. Yet i also apply into some companies (i hope i can work, keeping myself away from my parents and live peacefully alone). I hope you guys keep supporting me.

Fourth and the last, since i love writing history, luckily by the summer i will post historical lore about true history about your favorite Touken Danshi. Maybe Fuyuki and Narumi will help you. In previous post, we've just write about Jurakutei and Tenka Goken. To gain more enggagement, i will post the meme myself or maybe you can send me a meme to share (i will put the credits on it of course).

I think that's all guys. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay... alive.

If you are beginner and not have enough resources, i guess try next time i guess. Asked @ask-saniwas then.

ask-saniwas

Ryuji!bot

Yup, that's right. Not for beginner. Perhaps next time. Usually developer will include new Touken Danshi on certain event. For example... Shichiseiken. You can easily get it on summer. Or next limited smith, you can get it fast.

But if you have a lot of resources and request token, it's okay. I prefer to use Sanchoumou as your aide then. Or Monoyoshi.

Tenka Goken, A Sign of Order and Treasure from Heaven

Tenka Goken (天下五剣), or “Five Swords Under Heaven”, carries deeper meaning as “The Five Supreme Swords Beneath the Heavens”. They are not merely swords — they are masterpieces of superiority in skill, history, and legend. Although the contemporary audience is apt to associate the words with samurai amore and sword ethos, its roots are earlier than that. Historical records are inconsistent on when…

ask-saniwas

Fuyuki!bot

Ah, here we are! My first day on my work. I'm surprised that the article was uploaded here before i came. Since we've done our job on Hyakki Yakou, allow me to explain about Tenka Goken. You know... our new Touken Danshi and our main character are Tenka Goken. Hmm... let's start it!

Tenka Goken — The Five Swords Beneath Heaven

When we talk about the Tenka Goken (天下五剣), we’re not just speaking of blades forged from steel. We’re speaking of living symbols—five masterpieces that embody Japan’s deepest sense of discipline, artistry, and spirituality. The phrase translates as “The Five Supreme Swords Beneath the Heavens,” and each one reflects the character of its era, its maker, and its legend.

Interestingly, historians aren’t entirely sure when this title came into common use. Some suggest it appeared in the Muromachi period (1333–1573), when sword appreciation began to evolve into an art. Others cite documents like the Yorozu Kaimono Chōhōki (compiled around 1692–1693) as proof that the term existed by the late 17th century. Either way, these five swords have become fixtures in both history and myth—bridging the worlds of war, art, and the divine.

They are all recorded in the Kyōhō Meibutsuchō, a prestigious sword catalog ordered by Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune and compiled by the Hon’ami family, masters of sword appraisal. Today, three are National Treasures, one is held by the Imperial Household, and one resides within a Buddhist temple—a perfect reflection of how Japan’s heart beats between palace, battlefield, and shrine.

Dōjigiri Yasutsuna — The Demon-Slaying Sword

Forged by Hōki-no-Kuni Yasutsuna in the Heian period, this blade is often called the “Yokozuna of Japanese swords.” Measuring around 80 cm, it predates the modern katana’s shape, with a gentle curve suited for mounted combat.

But what gives Dōjigiri its fame isn’t just its craftsmanship—it’s its legend. This was the sword wielded by Minamoto no Yorimitsu (Raikō), the hero who vanquished the demon Shuten-Dōji. Disguised as a monk, Yorimitsu infiltrated the demon’s lair, intoxicated him with enchanted sake, and struck his head off in one clean cut. From that moment, the sword earned its name: Dōjigiri, the “Dōji Cutter.”

Now resting in the Tokyo National Museum, Dōjigiri bears decorations refitted during the Momoyama period, golden hilt and all—a reminder that legends age, but greatness endures. Standing before it is like standing before a bridge between humanity’s myths and history’s iron.

Mikazuki Munechika — The Crescent Moon Blade

If Dōjigiri embodies might, then Mikazuki Munechika embodies beauty. Forged by Sanjō Munechika, one of the most revered swordsmiths of the Heian era, this sword is famous for its delicate hamon—a wave-like pattern along its blade. Look closely, and you’ll see faint crescents dancing across it, as though the moon itself kissed the steel.

It was once favored by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the 13th Shogun, who fought his final battle with this very sword in hand. His story—noble, tragic, and luminous—gave Mikazuki its aura of quiet dignity. Today, it rests in the Tokyo National Museum, recognized as a National Treasure and praised as the most beautiful sword ever made.

Onimaru Kunitsuna — The Demon Blade

Crafted in the Kamakura period by Awataguchi Kunitsuna, this tachi—about 78 cm long—belongs to the Imperial Household. Unlike most swords, Onimaru’s legend is rooted not in battle but in the supernatural.

Regent Hōjō Tokiyori, plagued by nightmares of a demon, kept this sword near his bedside. One night, the blade fell and struck an ornament shaped like a demon’s face. The nightmares ceased immediately. From that day on, Onimaru was seen as a sacred talisman that banishes evil spirits.

Today, the sword remains veiled in mystery. Rarely, if ever, shown to the public, it is said to slumber deep within the Imperial vaults—the hidden guardian of the realm.

Ōdenta Mitsuyo — The Healing Sword

Among the five, Ōdenta Mitsuyo is the most modest in size but perhaps the most gentle in spirit. Forged by Miike Denta Mitsuyo during the Heian period, its shorter 66 cm length gives it a sturdier presence. But what truly sets it apart is its legend of healing.

During the Azuchi–Momoyama era, Maeda Toshiie’s daughter, Princess Gōhime, fell gravely ill. When Ōdenta was placed beside her bed, she miraculously recovered. From then on, the sword became a symbol of divine mercy and protection.

Now in the care of the Maeda Ikutokukai, Ōdenta reminds us that even a weapon can be a vessel of compassion—a paradox of steel and salvation.

Juzumaru Tsunetsugu — The Rosary Blade

The last of the five, Juzumaru Tsunetsugu, forges the path from war to peace. Created by Aoe Tsunetsugu, it became sacred when Nichiren, founder of Nichiren Buddhism, wrapped its hilt with juzu (Buddhist prayer beads). By doing so, he turned it from a weapon into a spiritual symbol—a sword that cuts through ignorance, not flesh.

Measuring about 81 cm, it resides today at Honkōji Temple in Hyōgo Prefecture, designated as an Important Cultural Property. Monks and believers regard it as the embodiment of righteousness—proof that the pure heart of a warrior can dwell even in a blade’s edge.

A Legacy Beneath the Heavens

Each of the Tenka Goken carries a fragment of Japan’s soul. They are more than relics; they are mirrors reflecting what Japan has always valued—honor, beauty, courage, and faith. From slaying demons to healing the sick, from moonlight artistry to divine grace, these five swords remind us that even within the sharpest edge lies the story of humanity itself.

So whenever I record their stories, I can’t help but feel both humbled and fascinated. These swords have watched centuries rise and fall, emperors pray and warriors perish. And even now, beneath the heavens that named them, they continue to whisper:

“We were not made only to kill—but to endure, to protect, and to inspire.”

Mikazuki: Hohooo, there you are, Fuyuki-san. Have you done about your job right now? Allow me to accompany you or maybe if there is anything you need, i'll help you.

Fuyuki: Oh, of course Mikazuki-san. Thank you so much! We're talking about Tenka Goken. As i wrote about it... i feel like so... honored to... ah, i can't even describe my feeling.

Ryuji: (walking through) Nu uh! In my opinion, only Mikazuki who is troublesome. I can't even sleep as i wonder why has Mikazuki Oborozuki appeared and there is the mysterious CHIMERA!

Mikazuki: Hahahaha, life always full of surprise. Yoki kana yoki kana.

Nagato: Wait- It should be Narumi's job, right?

Ryuji: Seriously, senpai?! My little sister also first time had working here same as Fuyuki.

Greeting, Saniwa. I hope you all right after joining previous mission. Well. It's been a week. Let's prepare the next mission.

Today, we will attend Special Investigation: Bunkyu Tosahan. This time, Nankaitarou Chouson will lead you into mission. But first of all, meet my partner, Hizen Tadahiro.

Oh, don't forget to login everyday until December 9, 2025. You will get free dice and Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki on the first day.

Hizen: Ah, thank you. Nue. Do you know why i call him 'Nue'? Yes, that face was hidden behind the mask. Misterious. I hate it.

Okay, so. For your first time, you have to meet me in Hariyama bridge. Before you go, i need 5 Touken Danshi into battle. As you arrive there, i will join into battle. Don't worry, just normal sortie with me. Meh, i wish that guy (Mutsunokami) wouldn't come.

Author: You actually can invite Mutsunokami, lol

Well, for you who joined previous my trip, you will immediately sent to our 'real battle'. Yes, we need to trap the boss after you meet me. Of course our sensei will guide us. As we defeat the enemy, we instal the bomb to trap the enemy. Make the tough trap then bait the boss to the bomb. As the boss hit to orange node- i mean the bomb, the step of our enemy will decreased. Don't fail me, okay.

Well, after we trap the boss, let's move on to the castle, where we reveal the truth behind. Defeat the boss upstairs then we win the battle. That's simple.

Nankai: Not that simple, saniwa. I need you once more to get me home. Well, Hizen will come if you have finished first round. At the second round, you don't need to trap the enemy again.

Nagato: Well well, good instruction. All right, if you had already joined this Special Investigation, the recollection was already saved to journal. So, you don't need to meet Hizen to Hariyama bridge. Beside, you can watch the recollection. As you do the sortie, you will get reward.

Hizen Tadahiro - 10 rounds and 20 rounds

Nankaitarou Chouson - 15 rounds and 25 rounds
