#if i missed connections between the others remember im a nikkari aoe fixed point view first and foremost.#also despite my Everything i think ive only watched the honpen twice so i do Not have it all memorised (yet)#anyway since i havent seen 2019 yet i was reading repo and a lot of people kept talking about the two wakizashi and#i love how they contrast i love it#bc yes they are both wakizashi and they both act in their role of support (especially to the two uchigatana sengo and ookurikara)#but monoyoshi is a symbol of good luck hence why he spoke to tonbokiri about tadakatsu at the battle#whereas nikkari knows what its like to be 'cursed' and so he at least Tries to connect with sengo#sengo's really awkward around nikkari bc he doesnt really Get him tho......#anyway to expand on the smiles point for the wakizashi:#monoyoshi wants to protect his master's smile right. he literally taught that to ieyasu as a child#and nikkari was there for that!! he was there when monoyoshi taught it and he learned that lesson alongside ieyasu#he tells monoyoshi at the end to smile. bc he got that from him!!!#in addition nikkari's Named after the creepy smile of the ghost woman. he himself says its a weird name#(although whether thats bc it simply Is or if he has complicated feelings around his name idk)#hes Used to being kind of weird and offputting and when you say the name nikkari you remember the ghost woman's smile!!!#eg in hanamaru when the toushirou kids think they see a ghost they immediately go seek nikkari. he and ghosts are inextricably linked#so i think nikkari learning from monoyoshi that you can cheer yourself up just by smiling instead of using it as a mask is just so important#wrt to those two#also sengo wanting to protect monoyoshi's good luck and prevent him from being tainted by the curse of killing the tokugawas is in a similar#vein to that. bc like nikkari sengo is Used to being Cursed#better to own his cursed status and scare people away by being weird than to accidentally hurt people isnt it :^#i just thought of this just now but even if sengo's not actually cursed it doesnt really matter bc its the stories that make the sword.#if you will.#if all the stories and rumours about sengo are that hes cursed then. he is. bc the swords are their histories and their histories are what#is said of them. like imanotsurugi and iwatooshi for example#also the game this is all based on is basically a gacha. :/#gemitus#tkrb#toumyu
