sorter changes (Sept 15 2025)

Hi saniwas,

Sorry I'm late with this one! I've been playing a lot of Silksong.

Anyways, the cute new tantou 🎤 Kurikara Gou 🎶 has been added to the sorter! A very polite boy!

(Also, the "Let's go" on the sorter has been temporarily changed to "Let's Gou" for this occasion.)

How have you all been? I hope those of you in schooling are adjusting well to classes. And everyone else, well, let's hold hands and get through these interesting times together.

sorter update (Aug 17 2025)

hello saniwas,

I hear some ✨lore✨ has been unveiled in the new event. How do you feel about it?

Anyways, 🧪 Doujigiri Yasutsuna Hakuraku👹(what a long name lol) has been added to the sorter. Usual thanks goes to my friend for sourcing the image for me. The tenka are all here finally (...kinda...?), wow.

Hope you are all having a good hot or cold season wherever you live. And if you are headed back to continue your studies soon, I wish you good luck.

sorter changes (Feb 12 2025)

hi saniwas!

🍊Unji🍊has been added to the sorter!

tbh I stopped playing a long time ago, so I have no idea what event is currently on or if he's a smithing reward 😅, I just get library screenshots from my wonderful friend @astracora. I wanted to keep maintaining this community tool (along with the kiwame level calculator) for as long as anyone finds it useful :)

TKRB is part of what got me through the pandemic and I am still very fond of all the swords.

ok enough unnecessary words from me :p

I wish you all the utmost luck in welcoming him into your citadels!

johren server shutdown

Hi everyone,

A more serious post today instead of a real update.

As you may know already, Touken Ranbu’s English and Taiwanese servers (including Android/Apple versions) are shutting down in August. We received our final update this past maintenance. If you’d like to voice your opinion together with others affected by this change, some saniwa are starting an email campaign to Johren (more details https://discord.gg/9dWV9wTX3y).

I don’t know if I will try to start playing the Japanese version. It will feel different without all of my swords. I’m putting my affairs in order :laugh: by writing parting letters to some of my swords, as well as headcanoning where each toudan goes-- whether they wish to keep fighting in a friend’s citadel, pursue a hobby, retire, find a more compatible citadel somewhere else, or become KBC. I may post these letters on a separate tumblr just so I can have them for... I don’t even know what. My own grief, I suppose.

I wish all my fellow EN and TW saniwas comfort during this difficult time.

Anyways, the part that’s actually relevant to this tumblr:

I will continue to update the sorter and the kiwame level calculator even as my own journey comes to an end. I don’t wish to rip these community resources away from anyone who uses them.

hi again, it's me, the person behind the sorter that takes so long to complete. I promise this is a one-off post.

in honor of the end of TKRB EN/Traditional CN, I give you this performance from the depths of my soul. I only know how to cope with full shitposting.

as a gentle reminder, saniwa are organizing at https://discord.gg/9dWV9wTX3y in hopes of saving our citadels. all right, back to scheduled silence

sorter changes (Jan 15 2026)

hi saniwas and happy 2026!

🚔Futasujihi Sadamune🚓 has been added to the sorter. Boy does he have pectorals lol. I chose police car emojis this time because he has handcuffs on his belt-- I wonder what that's about :o

Good luck with smithing as usual / usual thanks to my friend for these library card images. Stay strong and healthy(...... MINMO!) until next we meet.
