Added DiffLines:

* AChildShallLeadThem: While the Saniwa's age is never stated, they are human and appear to be no older than 16, in stark contrast to the other Saniwa in the franchise, who are adults. Regardless, the Touken Danshi still respect them all the same.

* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: Lampshaded in quite a few episodes. The fact that their clothes look vaguely western or non-specifically Japanese means that the people in the eras they visit constantly question where they're from, or where they got the outfits.

* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: Lampshaded in quite a few episodes. The fact that their clothes look vaguely western or non-specifically Japanese means that the people in the eras they visit constantly question where they're from, or where they got the outfits. Humorously, it is one of the few ''Touken Ranbu'' works in which the characters' clothing is acknowledged at all, as most human characters in other series regard it as an UnusuallyUninterestingSight.


Added DiffLines:

* FlashyProtagonistsBlandExtra: Except for Saniwa, who was granted "one of the main characters" status, all of the human characters in the setting look exceedingly ordinary in comparison to the technicolor hair and eyes and unusually dressed Touken Danshi.


Added DiffLines:

* GenderReveal: While his gender was initially concealed in his profile, both the subtitles and the English dub reveal that the Saniwa of this citadel is a boy.

* CherryBlossoms: As always, as Cherry blossoms are essential to any ''Touken Ranbu'' work. Aside from being a recurring motif, these cherry blossoms appear to represent the arrival of the Touken Danshi whenever they travel in time.

* ConnectedAllAlong: While working together to dispatch the Historical Retrograding Force, Tsurumaru reveals that he and Mikazuki Munechika are former partners, confirming the two's connection, as has been the case throughout the ''Touken Ranbu'' series.


Added DiffLines:

** Arguably, the First Unit is "Fanservice the Team" because it is made up entirely of extremely popular and recognizable ''Touken Ranbu'' characters.

Added DiffLines:

** In episode 12, the first unit shows up to help the second unit defeat the army of Historical Revisionists. Mikazuki Munechika in particular gets a solo, badass entrance, however, appearing in a hurricane of cherry blossoms and dispatching over a dozen enemies with one swing of his sword.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Yagen is much more aloof and distant than he has been in previous ''Touken Ranbu'' portrayals.
* AdaptationalSeriousness: ''Katsugeki'' takes a comparatively more serious approach to [[MellowFellow Mikazuki Munechika]]'s character, with his lighthearted quirks only being hinted at than outright shown. In fact, he was portrayed as so sneaky in some scenes that it gave viewers the impression that he might secretly be one of the bad guys, [[GoodAllAlong only for that to be proven moot by the end]].

* BigDamnHeroes: Towards the end of the first episode, just when Izuminokami and Horikawa are outnumbered by the Revisionists, the Saniwa drops in and brings Tonbokiri, Yagen and Mutsunokami to turn the fight in their favor.

* BreatherEpisode: The episode "Citadel" was this for the series after the events that occurred in Episode 5. It also acts as a transitional episode, so that the story could shift focus over to the first unit's mission that would begin in episode 7.

* AMillionIsAStatistic: Discussed in Episode 3 between Izuminokami and Mutsunokami. Izuminokami is of the mindset that as long as history doesn't have any major changes, the deaths of a group of people don't matter in the long run. Mutsunokami takes the opposite opinion; if all they do is wait until blood's been spilled to grab a chance to defeat the enemy, then they can't say they've really "protected" history at all.

* SinisterSilhouettes: In the opening, five unidentified characters appear as silhouettes with Mikazuki Munechika. They are presumably the silhouettes of Yamanbagiri, Honebami, Higekiri, Hizamaru, and Oodenta Mitsuyo since their names were listed [[TrailersAlwaysSpoil in the English subtitle trailer.]] [[spoiler:Confirmed at the end of Episode 6.]]
** The OP of Episode 7 lifts the silhouettes, revealing the rest of the First Unit.

* ZergRush: The Retrograde Army uses a summoner to create as many swords as it takes to fulfill its goals. One instance had Yagen square off with a resurrected FieldOfBlades attempting to get to the Satsuma residence. [[spoiler: Taken UpToEleven in the late game (as well in the anime's last episode), where the Revisionists send an army of ''1000 blades'' to prematurely end the Battle of Hakodate.]]

Deleted Five Man Band zero-context example. Part of Wick Cleaning Projects.


* FiveManBand: The second unit starts out with five members:
** TheLeader: Izuminokami, the appointed captain and focal character of the anime.
** TheLancer: Horikawa is Izuminokami's closest ally and self-promoted assistant, and watches out for his captain's well-being along with challenging him. Like Mutsunokami, he wears his emotions on his sleeve, and also tries to look out for other people's feelings or solve what he considers to be major emotional problems.
** TheBigGuy: Shared between Tonbokiri and Mutsunokami.
** TheSmartGuy: Yagen, being the team medic.
** TheHeart: Mutsunokami. Along with being one of the more important members of the team, he's one of the most [[TheHeart openly emphatic]] and gets the others to seriously think about their role in protecting history. He and Izuminokami frequently trade words and fight together.
** SixthRanger: Tsurumaru, who joins in episode 4. The Saniwa counts under this as well, providing additional support by summoning allies.
*** And for the first unit:
** TheLeader: Yamanbagiri, The appointed leader.
** TheLancer: Mikazuki, due to being the previous leader of Unit 1 and also the co-leader of the group under Yamanbagiri.
** TheChick: Higekiri
** TheBigGuy: Oodenta
** TheSmartGuy: Hizamaru
** SixthRanger: Honebami, who is new to being in a unit and recently added to their team.

* ConspicuousCG: It's noticeable in the anime, where most of the background and Retrogade forces are made using 3D rendering.
