* DemotedToExtra: Despite being MissionControl in the browser game, he doesn't play that big a role in ''Touken Ranbu Hanamaru'', even in ''Zoku'' where he is actually given voice-acting.
* InterpretativeCharacter: ''Katsugeki/ToukenRanbu'', ''Wanpaku! Touken Ranbu'', and ''Touken Ranbu Kai'' alter his design to make him cuter, although ''Kai'''s design changes slightly more about his face design than ''Katsugeki'', which really only updated his eyes and body shape. He's also a robot in ''Katsugeki'', despite this not being implied to be the case in any other work, including the original browser game, and has clones that are basically palette swaps of himself.

only had a few scenes in season 2. He also doesn't even get any speaking roles in ''Touken Ranbu Kai'' despite supposedly fulfilling the same role he does in the browser game in that citadel.

* AdaptedOut: Even more so than Konnosuke, as they don't appear in any ''Touken Ranbu'' spin-off except ''Touken Ranbu Hanamaru'' as a minor cameo. When the Touken Danshi fight in the other spin-offs, they are always seen fighting alone.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's never made clear what they are. They are not miniature humans, as the players forge them with the same material used to forge the Sword Warriors, albeit in much smaller quantities. They are also known by a different name than the Sword Warriors and are treated in battle as equipment that even the Historical Revisionists has their own versions of.

However, the animations show that they are very much alive.


Added DiffLines:

* EvilCounterpart: The Historical Retrograding Force has their own versions of them that they bring into battle, which have red eyes, bluish gray skin, squiggly lines for mouths, and black armor.


Added DiffLines:

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Enemy Tousou have red eyes to signify that they're evil.

Added DiffLines:

* RareRandomDrop: A number of swords are harder to obtain than others, with most of these being swords of Special and Highest rarity. However, there are some lower, and even lowest, rarity swords that are just as hard to obtain due to their extremely low drop rates.


Added DiffLines:

* UnlockableContent: A number of Touken Danshi are only able to be obtained by clearing recurring events.

Added DiffLines:

* BeautyEqualsGoodness: All of the Touken Danshi are attractive, including swords that are supposed to be "plain" like Doudanuki. Meanwhile, the Historical Revisionists, the antagonists in the story, are literally colorless and varying degrees of monstrous, just so you know you're not supposed to root for them.


Added DiffLines:

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Several characters, including Midare Toushirou, who was originally the best example, Chatannakiri, Namazuo Toushirou, Honebami Toushirou, and Jiroutachi, could easily pass as female. However, [[VocalDissonance their voices]] [[ChromosomeCasting usually dispel any doubt that they are, indeed, male]].
* EveryJapaneseSwordIsAKatana: Averted. The game features several different kinds of Japanese swords and makes clear differences between sword types, ranging from their stats, combat mechanism, availability to equip troops, smithing time, and many more.


Added DiffLines:

* ImmortalImmaturity: While every Touken Danshi is several hundred years old, many of them behave like they're much younger. Notably, the entire Tantou class (with the exception of Yagen Toushirou, [[NotSoAboveItAll usually]], and Fudou Yukimitsu, who is an alcoholic) acts like children and are regarded as such by the more adult-like Touken Danshi such as Ichigo Hitofuri.


Added DiffLines:

* LimitedWardrobe: Unlike in many DMM games, the Touken Danshi's wardrobe is limited, with only two clothes available at the start: default and Internal Affairs. However, two new costumes for the Touken Danshi were introduced over the years in the form of their Kiwame clothing[[note]]In some cases, this is debatably a new outfit, as some Touken Danshi just put armor on top of their old garments, while other characters have completely new outfits.[[/note]] and their casual Yukata.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: A handful of Touken Danshi have long hair (extremely long hair in some cases) and are very attractive. The length of their hair doesn't seem to hinder them in battle, but some have it tied up, such as Izuminokami Kanesada following his Kiwame training.


Added DiffLines:

* MusclesAreMeaningless: The Touken Danshi are all shown to be extremely powerful, regardless of how muscular or thin they appear. This trope is especially prevalent in the spin-offs, where even the Tantou are shown to be capable of easily defeating beefed-up Historical Revisionists.
