1	Memes for Touken Ranbu.
2	----
3	!!Please add entries in the following format:
4	* The meme. [=[[=]labelnote:Explanation[=]]=]The explanation behind the meme, if necessary.[=[[/=]labelnote[=]]=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Like this.[[/labelnote]]
5	** Further mutations and successor memes, if any.
6	----
7	* "じじが来ない"[[labelnote: Explanation]] Jiji/Grampy didn't come.[[/labelnote]] due to [[RareRandomDrop Mikazuki's extremely low drop rate]].
8	** "Jiji is a myth/doesn't exist." Related to the above. It's often used in English fandom for any rare sword that a saniwa can't ever seem to get their hands on.
9	** In the western fandom, there's referring to Mikazuki Munechika as ''Jijisus'' and photoshopping his head onto the likeness of Jesus Christ. This is usually coupled with the Touken Ranbu logo being edited onto a bible and the fanbase jokingly stating that Touken Ranbu is a religion.
10	* '''01:30:00''' [[labelnote: Explanation]] Saniwas who want to obtain certain swords through smithing often get annoyed when seeing this timer, as it signals that their resources have been wasted on [[ComMons yet another starter sword]]. Generally, players will be aiming for 3:20:00 (rare tachis), 02:30:00 (oodachis and Heshikiri Hasebe), or 4:00:00 (Mikazuki/Kogitsunemaru/Iwatooshi). Unfortunately, the [[RandomNumberGod 01:30:00 timer is a possible result in almost all smithing recipes.]][[/labelnote]]
11	* "柄まで通ったぞ！"[[labelnote:Explanation]]"Stabbed to the hilt!", Yagen's critical hit line. Fans often comment this on Yagen fan-arts or anything Yagen-related. Expect the quote to pop up in comment sections on otome audio plays done by Creator/SeiichiroYamashita.[[/labelnote]]
12	** For that matter, the infamous "首落ちて死ね！" ("Drop your head and die!") that has come to be associated with Yasusada himself, to the point where the Hanamaru radio show has its own "Drop-your-head-and-die segment".
13	** “よきかなよきかな“[[labelnote: Explanation]] brilliant, brilliant. [[/labelnote]] for Mikazuki Munechika as it started out as a random ingame line stated by the character and essentially ended up becoming his official [[CatchPhrase catch phrase.]] The fandom often use this as well as his Stageplay and Musical actors respectively in reference to him. [[WordOfGod Digitarou]] uses it for the character as well, and it eventually becomes his official in-game catchphrase comes the Ranbu level update.
14	** ''Anaya''.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Old Japanese form of ''ara'', an expression of surprise, which is often associated with Mikazuki due to his antiquity, even though he [[BeamMeUpScotty never says this in game canon]].[[/labelnote]]
15	** ''Suki da''.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Mishearing of 突きだ ("stab!"), Honebami's attack line, which leads to numerous Bami-confesses-to-enemies jokes.[[/labelnote]]
16	* Heshikiri is the Meme King/Meme Lord. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Heshikiri looks uncannily like [[Franchise/AceAttorney Miles Edgeworth]], plus the meme below.[[/labelnote]]
17	* Splicing Heshikiri using Photoshop. [[labelnote:Explanation]] It has become a competition between Tourabu Twitter fans to see who can make the most ridiculous Heshikiri ForTheLulz. The most common variety of this is Heshikiri's head on someone else's body, but there is a lesser known variant where a different head is on Heshikiri's body. [[/labelnote]] [[https://twitter.com/hashtag/%E9%95%B7%E8%B0%B7%E9%83%A8%E3%82%AF%E3%82%BD%E3%82%B3%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B0%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%83%97%E3%83%AA?src=hash&mode=photos Heshikiri memes ahoy!]]
18	* Eyuki[[labelnote:Explanation]][[AlternateCharacterReading misreading]] of Kosetsu's name. Many other swords have names that are impossible to read for the first time without a reading guide, leading to many amusing misreadings, which includes "Yamatomamori Antei" for Yamatonokami Yasusada and "Ichigo Ichie" for Ichigo Hitofuri.[[/labelnote]]
19	* '''KAKAKA!''' [[labelnote: Explanation]]Yamabushi's ridiculous laugh. It's even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn4xIC0O9mU spawned]] a VoiceClipSong![[/labelnote]]
20	* Yagen's legs.
21	** Also, Iwatooshi's cleavage, which is drawn and shaded very clearly in his Internal Affairs sprite, not to mention his awakening pose, which gained him the FanNickname '[[BoobBasedGag Iwatits/Iwatitties]]'
22	** Shinano, Yagen's brother, is also noted for his long, slender legs. It doesn't help that he wears a pair of garters that highlight this.
23	** And the grand prize winner goes to Sengo Muramasa, whose design inspired all sorts of positive reception for his long and muscular legs.
24	* '''ODOROITAKA?!''' [[labelnote: Explanation]] "Are you surprised?" Tsurumaru's trademark line[[/labelnote]]
25	%%* "[[PaedoHunt Pedophile]] Akashi", due to his attachment towards [[TheNapoleon Hotarumaru]].
26	* Nihongou's [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/touken-ranbu/images/6/61/Nihongou-1.png/revision/latest?cb=20150812050724 scabbard looks like a feather duster, and the way he dresses]] makes many players called him "Mr Janitor" . Or have his spear used like a feather duster.
27	** Putting the three yari together as [[http://40.media.tumblr.com/0d8662a516bb897faa2a780ffb3b3b11/tumblr_nsnwahQeQi1tipz03o1_1280.jpg Janitors]].
28	* Horse Poops. [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Namazuo's lines stated that he'll throw horse poops at people he hates[[/labelnote]]
29	* Fans really love to joke about Mitsutada confusing Monoyoshi Sadamune as Taikogane Sadamune, who he calls "[[AffectionateNickname Sada-chan]]".
30	** Related to above, joking about Mitsutada being unhappy with the similar name issue (either because he dislikes Monoyoshi for not being the Sadamune he expected or he's sad about Sada-chan not coming home)
31	* CuteAndPsycho /FauxAffablyEvil/ FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon Monoyoshi. It was implied Ieyasu carried him during the Siege of Osaka Castle, thus witness how the castle got burned and the swords of Toyotomi clan in it, thus leading fans to depict him as a kid with FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon who would talk about the incident with a smile on his face and cheerful tone, just to spit on the face of those who got burned in the incident (namely, Ichigo and Namazuo).
32	** Also due to his uncanny resemblance to Slaine Troyard from ''Anime/AldnoahZero'' (not to mention that both are voiced by Creator/KenshoOno), some part of the fandom likes to shoo him out from Tourabu by saying 'Please go back to Aldnoah Zero!'
33	* NO-Ookanehira[[labelnote:Explanation]]This is an ongoing meme that involves Uguisumaru being excited at new swordboy announcement, only to find that said sword wasn't Ookanehira[[/labelnote]]
34	** This meme can also apply to Mitsutada, just replace 'Ookanehira' with 'Sada-chan' (Taikogane Sadamune). As of June 22, 2016 however, this variant became a DiscreditedMeme (cue fanarts of Mitsutadda flailing in happiness)
35	** As of December 19th, 2016, the reveal of the actual Ookanehira has turned NO-Ookanehira into [=YESkanehira.=] (And cue fanarts of Uguisumaru losing it.)
36	* Gotou as a rocker. Or with Franchise/YuGiOh . Or with Anime/CardfightVanguard. Or people saying he's actually a character from those series because of his multicolored AnimeHair reminds them that usually card games animes have characters with such weird hair.
37	* What if Higekiri and [[VideoGame/Onmyoji2016 Onigiri]] met?[[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to ''VideoGame/Onmyoji2016'' introducing its own {{Bishonen}} personification of the Minamoto treasure sword. The character is either compared to/depicted alongside this game's Higekiri for being the same sword, or Mikazuki for having the same [[Creator/KosukeToriumi voice actor]].[[/labelnote]]
38	* Dategumi [[labelnote: Explanation]]The swords that were owned by Date clan, which are Tsurumaru, Shokudaikiri, Ookurikara, and Taikogane Sadamune. But those that were owned by UsefulNotes/DateMasamune himself are only Shokudaikiri and Ookurikara.[[/labelnote]] are often depicted as the ComicTrio. Tsurumaru is the schemer, Shokudaikiri is the follower, when Ookurikara is the powerless one. Similarly, Ice Royal Milk Tea[[labelnote: Explanation]]Other name for the R4 group, the four tachis with four-petal rarity , each word in the phrase references each sword's appearance. Kousetsu is the Ice, because his look [[IceQueen and personality is as cold as ice]] and his name means "snowy inlet". Ichigo is the Royal, because of his [[PrincelyYoungMan princely look]]. Tsurumaru is the milk, because he wears white. Uguisumaru is the tea because his color is primarily green and Uguisumaru himself [[TrademarkFavoriteFood loves green tea]].[[/labelnote]] can also seen as the FourManBand, with Tsurumaru is the pervert, still leading, Ichigo is the OnlySaneMan, Kousetsu as TheSmartGuy and Uguisumaru as the ButtMonkey because of the above no-Ookanehira. Helps that Uguisumaru is a CloudCuckoolander to begin with.
39	* Some part of the fandom couldn't help but notice Shinano having a similar hair and eye color as [[VideoGame/EnsembleStars Suou Tsukasa]] that they'd have both of them together to see Tsukasa reacting to his "doppleganger".
40	* It didn't take long after Houchou was revealed for the fandom to run with his opening line about liking sweets and married women. He quickly became a MemeticMolester KidAnova who LikesOlderWomen. He also got depicted going after swords who most frequently get treated as being wife-like in fanon, such as Horikawa, or with the similarly-named and motherly [[VideoGame/KanColle Hoshou]] whenever there's a [=KanColle=] crossover.
41	* I want to give these Kiwame tantous a hug (and a blanket) when they're hurt. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The in-game narratives for Kiwame training journeys tend to give meaningful, but harsh life lessons to these sheltered swords, inspiring a good amount of pathos from players (Imanotsurugi and Akita are two glaring examples). Kiwame swords also gain new damaged sprite art with an entirely different pose from their default battle sprite. The... gratuity of these new sprites in the swords' expressions, injuries, and clothing damage can be rather unsettling for players due to their young appearances. What doesn't help is that it seems to be a requirement for Kiwame swords to now lose their shirts when they activate Awakening.[[/labelnote]]
42	* Who cares about the Heavenly Swords?[[note]]After Ookanehira's implementation into the game, he was revealed to harbor some resentment towards the ''Tenka Gouken'' and especially the as-of-then unrevealed Doujigiri, his [[TheRival rival]] due to their namesake swords being made by Kanehira. Fans took this trait of his and turned it into a full blown obsession, giving him a OneSidedRivalry with the Heavenly Swords and an obsession with beating them at anything.[[/note]]
43	* The [[TheProudElite Tenka Goken]] ( Save for Juzumaru, sometimes ) bullying Ookanehira for not being a Tenka Goken. [[note]]Due to Ookanehira's above quote and his bitterness toward not being considered a Tenka Goken. [[/note]]
44	* "You must understand. Muramasa isn't a bad person!" [[note]]Sengo Muramasa is often depicted as something of a nuisance for Tonbokiri, either because he's crazy (Muramasa's reputation is making swords whose wielders succumb to madness), because he [[{{Troll}} loves to act up]], or because he's usually depicted as a [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Shameless Fanservice Guy]] due to his much-adored legs and {{Stripperiffic}} outfit[[/note]]
45	** '''huhuhu''' [[labelnote: Explanation]]Muramasa's laugh, which has been dubbed as the next '''KA KA KA!'''[[/labelnote]]
46	** It's also become a meme on twitter to draw other sword boys, or characters from different series who share Sengo's [[Creator/JunichiSuwabe voice actor]], dressed in Sengo's outfit.
47	* Heshi'''kill''' Hasebe [[note]] A joint meme with ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder''. For the 2017 swimsuit event, Demon Archer (Oda Nobunaga) has her sword turned into an electric guitar with a wheel as the body. Since Heshikiri Hasebe was a sword of Nobunaga, they often turn him into an OOC rocker with "Heshikill" being his stage name.[[/note]]
48	* Depicting Mochichika (the various verions of the mochimochi mascot version of Mikazuki Munechika) in humorous scenarios with the Touken Danshi has become so popular that it could be said that Mochichika has developed a fanbase of his own. It's the most popular mochimochi mascot to the point where even {{Doujinshi}} of it exist. In a similar vein, some of the mochimochi mascots of the other Touken Danshi get this treatment as well with their respective Touken Danshi counterpart, making it an ongoing meme anytime a new mochimochi mascot gets released, though its too a lesser degree than mochichika.
49	* The fact Chouson CantHoldHisLiquor, which soon spawns a slew of fanarts depicting him in various states of drunkenness.
50	** And then there is his BadassBookworm personality and heavily Meiji scholar-like design, which has prompted some fans to shoo him back to ''VideoGame/BungoToAlchemist''.
