Updates to calculator

hi everyone! I updated a simple kiwame level calculator (link) I wrote a while back.

It lets you calculate the level kiwame your sword will return as after training based on either

1) its current unkiwamed level + (optional) remaining exp until next level or

2) its current cumulative exp amount.

Option 2 is now available thanks to the changes where swords can store extra exp even when maxed, and the recent UI change that lets you see how much exp they have, so I thought I’d finally give it a good ol’ update. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Anyways, happy playing! And good luck with new year’s smithing events if you’re participating :)

Can't wait to try this game, I hear it's very realistic and the chick at the game store practically begged me to try it.

For the new Toumyu Sanki announcement that we got yesterday ✨

[piosplayhouse]

Kiyoyasu Touken ranbu is so funny because genre conventions would have you expect that kiyomitsu, as the super clingy, carefully hyper manicured trauma baby, would be the fake bitch but the truth is that he's actually genuine compared to yasusada, who just pretends to be nice and normal only because he's copying his dead boyfriend and is actually just waiting for the first opportunity to go batshit and start killing

Redraw meme bcs I can 🤸‍♂️

Original meme: Twitter

[wolfofcelestia]

I saw an artist talk about how their swords differ in personality and how they work in their teams, so I wanted to write a little bit about my main teams

My headcanon is that every sword is different because they're heavily influenced by their current master, so here are my swords if I were their saniwa (♡°◡°)

Do note that these guys are different from Hazuki's swords. I will do a write up for hers in the future

Team 1: Outdoor daytime team (standard lineup)

"A leader is only as good as his team. I'm relying on all of you out there."

Shokudaikiri is the saniwa’s main attendant and the captain of the main team. Known throughout the citadel as the saniwa’s undisputed right hand, he aims to live up to that reputation with every swing of his blade. It helps that going batshit on the battlefield is his idea of a good time.

With his unmatched strength and the sheer joy he takes in battle, his team naturally gets caught up in his momentum and they get the job done quickly and efficiently. As much as he is a natural leader, he still looks out for and relies on his team. He is not above asking them for help, especially with his weakness: scouting.

"Nushisama says my true form is beautiful… So I won't hold back anymore."

The only one on the main team’s standard lineup who can keep up with Shoku. Mainly, it's because he equally relishes in going absolutely batshit feral. He hid that side of him only for a short while before realizing that his saniwa likes that side of him. Now, he freely indulges in his more demonic side, but would need his team members to bring him back down before he causes any unnecessary damage.

"Calm your spirits..."

The one who usually snaps Kogi out of his demon fox trance. He doesn't want to be on the citadel's main team but carries out his duties because he knows everyone relies on him for his strength. Kousetsu is Shoku's counter momentum, pulling the team's energy back before it tips too far out of control. He takes it upon himself to keep everyone safe.

"Again? Well, as long as Hotarumaru is going too. He's not? Then why are you asking me?"

He also doesn't want to be here and doesn't know why the saniwa keeps picking him to be on the main team.

Surprisingly enough though, he does get swept up in the momentum, whether he puts any effort into it or not. His sword instincts take over and push him into the middle of the action. He even learns that he likes the thrill of battle, though he'd never admit it. He doesn't want to be sent out on even more sorties after all.

Hotaru and Tarou have no personal relationship with the saniwa but are put on the main team to provide extra strength. Hotaru doubles as a bribe to get Akashi to participate though

Team 1: Non-standard lineup (Ootachis out, Mitsutadas in)

"Let's get this job done properly."

Currently training to be the leader of his own team and will be once he returns from his training journey.

His leadership style is the complete opposite of Shoku's, something Kousetsu is grateful for. Jikkyuu is a quiet, calculating, and no-nonsense type of leader. He is well-aware of his surroundings, as well as the movements of his own teammates. There won't be anyone going batshit under his watch... is what he says when he leaves the citadel. But once he's pulled into the heat of battle, a part of him that had been hidden and long forgotten comes out.

Kogi follows suit, letting his feral fox side out to play. Shoku would have joined in as well, if it weren't for the fact that Jikkyuu is his brother, and also favoured by the saniwa. Taking on the responsibility of the saniwa's right hand, Shoku is usually the one who snaps Jikkyuu out of his demonic killing machine mentality before he falls too deeply into it and loses himself completely.

"You guys really need to calm down."

Fuku's just chilling here tbh. He gets along with Akashi the best and hangs back with him to pick off the enemies that the other swords who are going batshit missed. He doesn't mind fighting, but doesn't jump at the opportunity to fight either. Dude just wants to go out to look for new flowers.

Team 2: General Use Night team This team is put together when they are not split up into more specific teams. They are much more rambunctious than the main team and this causes a bit of an issue since they tend to make their presence known before they can sneak up on the enemy. This is remedied by giving Nikkari leadership of the team

"Aruji! Look here! Are you watching!?"

Sadachan's been Team 2's captain for the longest time and he'll challenge anyone who tries to steal his position! But he's been spoiled by the saniwa ever since he joined the citadel, causing him to be overconfident. He was completely blindsided when, of all swords, it would be Nikkari who was named co-captain.

They take turns leading the team, with Sadachan going all out, using as many flashy moves as he can think of, to prove he should be the team's sole captain. Nikkari doesn't care that much about being captain so when Sadachan gets too riled up, all Nikkari really has to do to get him back to being his carefree self is to tell him his moves were all very cool.

“Take your time. Go slow. That’s it… The end result is not the only thing that matters. You understand that, right?���

A snake hiding in the grass, waiting for just the right moment to strike. He's a patient one and his patience paid off.

Suddenly gaining the saniwa’s favour for reasons unknown to the rest of the citadel, he was named co-captain and was given special treatment from that day onwards. While he was always a favourite among the wakizashi, his standing in the citadel now rivals even that of the saniwa’s right hand sword.

He plays it off when other swords ask about this sudden change, denying that his special treatment is anything out of the ordinary for one of the saniwa’s first swords. And after seeing the saniwa push him away enough times, they start to believe him. Although, the smile on his face tells a different story.

On the battlefield, he excels at scouting. He has use of two sets of eyes, after all. He guides the team through the darkness with his ghost flames and is quick to come up with successful strategies. To the surprise of many swords, he is extremely serious when it comes to battle and is a reliable teammate and captain.

“Get moving, everyone! This job’s not gonna get itself done!”

He doesn’t mind not being captain but he’ll make his opinions heard regardless of where he’s positioned. He sees himself as the saniwa’s most reliable uchigatana and has the strength to back up that claim. Whenever the teams are being decided, he would be the first one to volunteer. He is a good teammate all around and supports his team to make sure everyone comes home safe.

“Goshujinsama trusts someone like me to protect everyone… Then... I'll act as everyone's shield. No one else needs to get hurt.”

Being on the same team as his little brother, his personality becomes disturbingly serious. He doesn’t take fighting lightly in the first place, but with his brother in the mix, he takes extra precaution not mess up. If anything were to happen to him or any other of her swords, the saniwa would be sad. And he would move heaven and hell to prevent that from ever happening.

Now if only his master would listen to his request…

“Enough talking, the enemy is right over there!”

Namazuo gets along well with everyone and he is usually the one who keeps Sadachan upbeat when Nikkari is chosen to lead the team. He’s mainly a follower in this team with the first three swords vying for control but he doesn’t mind watching their backs.

Flex slots. These two also support Sadachan in keeping his energy up and they follow along with the more assertive swords' strategies just like Namazuo.

“Aruji gave us our orders. We follow them. End of story.”

Last flex slot. Hasebe joins the team when Nikkari is chosen as captain and the entire team needs to take things more seriously. He does his best to prove that he's useful enough to have a permanent slot on the team, but even if he never gets one, he's just thankful he’s rarely on a team with Akashi.

I think those are all my commonly used swords. This wasn't actually supposed to go anywhere but I guess my brainworms just activate when it comes to Nikkari asdfanlfkgj
