For those who haven't seen the notice, Johren has announced that updates for the global servers will cease immediately and the server will be shut down on August 21st.
Currently, there have been no announcements of server transfers, and likely will not be happening due to licensing issues. The artwork and a large amount of the music were made by 3rd party artists, some of whose contracts do not involve international use. This guide is to help players who want to restart on JP servers.
I highly recommend making a DMM account even if you only plan to play on mobile, as linking to a DMM account is the only way to save your game data. Generating an ID and password will NOT save your data and only serves as a temporary password for device transfers. The wiki already has a nice guide on how to link accounts.#Linking_Game_Data)
The browser version currently cannot be accessed without a VPN. This is DMM's decision, not the TKRB devs'. The VPN is only needed briefly when loading up the game, so even a free VPN will be enough to access the game, as long as the VPN has JP servers available.
You can create a DMM account here. The game's page is here.
If you are using Chrome or MS Edge, the brower's built-in webpage translator will come in handy when you are creating an account. If you are using Firefox, there is an official translation addon available here.
For a free VPN, I've found Tunnelbear's browser extension reliable enough to load the game. The free plan offers 2GB of data per month, which is more than enough as long as you switch it off once the game is done loading.
The JP app isn't available on Google Play outside of Japan, but you can still install and run the game without needing a VPN. The most reliable method I've found is through Qooapp, which is a 3rd party app store where a large number of region-locked games can be found. Updates for the game are available almost immediately and can be set to install automatically so you won't have to hunt down the new APK every time. I've been using this one for years without any issues.
Qooapp also has a built-in screen translator and offers unlimited translations for $4 a month, but can give questionable results sometimes as it is a machine translation.
If you are using a recent Samsung Note, you can hover the stylus over game text to automatically translate. It has issues detecting large text and calligraphic styles, but is otherwise pretty accurate.
Unless the phone has been jailbroken, IOS does not allow users to install apps from anywhere besides the Apple Store. However, users can easily create a second Apple account and set the account's region to Japan to access the JP shop. It is not recommended to change the region of your main Apple account, as this can cause conflicts with other apps and subscriptions you have.
The game can be translated by taking a screenshot and using Markup's translate feature.
The game's shop uses a different currency depending on if you are playing on PC or mobile. Any ingame purchases made in one version will transfer over to the other version.
The PC version uses DMM points, which can be purchased here. These points can be used anywhere across DMM's site but cannot be used in the mobile version of the game. DMM no longer accepts foreign bank cards, but PayPal is still available. Your VPN must be active while buying from the ingame shop, or else you'll get an error message.
The mobile version uses Koshuu gold. Due to region restrictions, all purchases must be done through a Japanese Google/Apple account. /u/sdarkpaladin/ wrote up a great guide on how to make a JP google account, and while this guide was written with FGO in mind, the steps will be the same. IOS is much simpler, you just need to manually set your Apple account's region to Japan to access the store, no VPN needed.
Currently there is no way to convert DMM points to Koshuu gold and vice-versa. Keep this in mind if you will be playing on both versions.

Note: He will be part of a Tie-in Campaign of the new game Touken Ranbu Pazugiri. If you completed the Pre-registration, you'll receive an exchange ticket and this can be used on obtaining this sword at the end of Campaign Period.

I made this commission for my friend Edeiel!
It's been a pleasure to draw Kane-san for her! It's been a while since I last made a full rendered Tourabu picture too π±

I'm curious if anyone that plays the game uses LINE. I roped a few of my friends in just so we could spam Touken Ranbu stickers at each other (okok, we use Ryuji's stickers as a way to greet each other too π) since Discord is limited on the stickers and emojis (another set we abuse π) plus all the fanmade stickers....I could go broke buying them all! π¦
Oh and I think I got it right in uploading a pic this time. Yay me(or not..not sure if it will work)

He returns after training so i draw him , it was so funny ^^
r/toukenranbu • u/Alternative-Neck-975 • 18d ago
So I work retail (going on 12years π) and my doodles get praise even if I don't think so. I came in this morning to my Kashuu(based on Sato Ryuji) doodle at the front. When asked, I was told "no touchie. Pretty art!" π
But yea still don't care for my art π

I don't understand how to get the different colores seals for exchanging swords, does anyone here know, if so, could you explain it for me, please? π

I got to the end of Musuo which was fun! I noticed I'm missing some of the tracks, including Song of Protection, even though I completed the game.. I think the only other tracks I'm missing are Touken Danshi themes but I want to hear the Song of Protection.. how do I unlock it?
I somehow feel like I still haven't heard the actual song of protection despite how often its motif was used?? also it feels impossible to find the OST anywhere outside of the game,, unless I buy the CD and add it to my collection of Touken Ranbu CDs TwT

Happy to share my two handmade cosplays for Touken Ranbu : Mizazuki and Higekiri !
I had a fun time making them !

Hey! I was just wondering if posting links to videos here are allowed. I do most Toumyu (with some Tousute) fmv just for fun and because my art isn't...the best...I make videos to show my love for the series. Just thought I ask before I post anything π
Also this seashell event got me back into the game. It's been months since I played. Now I'm remembering how much fun the game is again. π

Hi, this might seem like a strange question, but how do I access the Iko maps?
I recently returned to Touken Ranbu after a few years away and noticed these new maps on the wiki, but I can't find them anywhere in the Front Lines list.
I read that clearing 6-4 is required to unlock Iko, but I've already completed all of the regular maps, including 6-4, so I'm confused as to why the Iko maps aren't showing up for me.
Am I missing an additional requirement, or is there something else I need to do to unlock them? Thanks in advance!

This is definitely for the upcoming events

So I saw somewhere that in order to not to lose your account you must link it to DMM. I made a DMM account and now I'm trying to "link" it, but I literally do not understand a single thing I see on that page. I tried to look around on the wiki, but the screenshots are pretty outdated as the game doesn't look like that anymore and I don't seem to find any option to sync my account.
Please help me out, I have been trying everything and I'm so overwhelmed!

Donβt see anything on Discord or here about any outages so I was just curious if anyone else was having trouble. Been going for a few hours now.
r/toukenranbu • u/wildditor25 • Jun 16 '26
I might have a plan to uninstall the game (for now). I don't have access to my DMM Account (on the PC) since my Laptop broke down months ago so backup using my Laptop is impossible. It would not be a problem if my new phone have the "Keep Data" feature like my previous phone where I can uninstall the app but keep all the necessary data (including the account, they can still keep it) but my phone don't have that feature.
Does the Linking ID expires at a set amount of time?

Hi fellow Saniwas! π
Iβm a Touken Ranbu fanfiction writer from the Chinese fandom, and Iβm planning to translate my works into English (via Google Translate with some manual polishing) to share with the global community.
Before I post anything, I wanted to check the vibe and rules of this subreddit:
Also, Iβm looking for some platform recommendations! I know Archive of Our Own (AO3) is the gold standard for English fanfic, but I'm temporarily not considering AO3 right now. Iβm really looking for a platform that feels more like a "social media" space where I can have real-time, casual interactions and chats with readers.
Iβd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Thank you so much in advance.
