With August 16th, and the premiere of the Touken Ranbu Kai –Douden Chikashi Samuraira Umonora– anime film in Japan right around the corner, the production committee has just released the film’s latest character video via its official X account.
This time, it is Yamanbagiri Kunihiro’s character video, which follows on from those of Shokudaikiri Mitsutada, Tsurumaru Kuninaga, and Heshikiri Hasebe that were released earlier in the week.
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro’s character video, however, is a little different as, instead of a sword brimming with self-confidence, the uchigatana (Japanese sword) has a deep-rooted inferiority complex about being a replica of a sword and not an authentic sword.
This can be seen in the opening scene of the video as Yamanabagiri sits desolately on the floor of the citadel.
But, as Yamanbagiri Kunihiro’s character video continues, we see that even his lack of self-confidence doesn’t stop him from being incredibly powerful in a fight.
No wonder he was made Captain of the First Unit, eh?
Touken Ranbu Kai –Douden Chikashi Samuraira Umonora– details
The upcoming Touken Ranbu Kai –Douden Chikashi Samuraira Umonora– anime film is a prequel to the anime series Touken Ranbu Kai: Kyoden Moyuru Honnouji, which ended its run in May.
The anime film is being directed by Kazuya Ichikawa, with Kenichi Suemitsu in charge of scripts, and Mari Takada designing those wonderful characters.
There is no word yet as to when it will be released in the west, but we will keep you updated here at Anime Powered as more information is released.
Until then, enjoy Yamanbagiri Kunihiro’s character video. He is voiced by Tomoaki Maeno (Veldora Tempest in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime).
