Musical Touken Ranbu: Tokyo Kokoro Oboe english sub

I know this isn’t the TsuruKara Souki you were expecting, but on the plus side, neither was I expecting this! Since I’m watching this with a friend soon, I figured, why not? It is very high up in my faves list, after all 🥺

Following my predecessors, the start of the subtitles has a little intro blurb on each of the historical figures, and I’m also planning on making a little research file in which I’ll try to explain a few things about Masakado and horses, Masakado and Kikyou, Ota Dokan and the yamabuki (Japanese kerria) girl, and some details about Tenkai as person and his planning of Edo as city.

I’m also planning to include some translation notes (specifically on ほころび・る hokorobi/ru because that deserves to be mentioned) in the file, some interpretations on the girl with the Noh mask, and a few fun facts about how each of the historical figures relates to Inari or foxes. Because in the context of the roles Suishinshi and the Gous get given throughout TKO, as well as the themes present in it, it may be interesting to keep a certain little fox in the back of your mind while watching!

Keep in mind that this is only the subtitle file, timed and tled to the DMM archive distribution.

You can download the subs for the DMM archive distribution here,

and with lots of thanks to a friend, the subs for the BD/DVD version can be found here!

The research file will be able to be found here too, at a later date.

#touken ranbu #Tokyo Kokoro Oboe #toumyu #Water's translations #'where's Kogi in all this' is one of my favourite questions to ask in TKO tbh ngl #and not in a haha 'kon kon kon.../knock knock knock...' kind of way #though I do really appreciate Mikazuki's name melts into Kogi's in the names section #I'd love to think that tsuwamono had meaning-- that kotobuki had meaning!#that Kogitsunemaru hasn't disappeared from Mikazuki's side after tsuwamono established that even if he can't do time crimes with him #he will still gladly eat chagashi with him. And that he won't allow Mikazuki to use that sweetness as bribe to get away from his duties--#to get away from staying by Kogitsunemaru's side.#Also considering Kogitsunemaru in utaawase and by extension Inari light is super cool bc he's one of the most supernatural swords out there #through him being smithed by Inari he's half repairs and also Legit Foxy at the same time that Inari is a god the *people* made popular #on top of that!! Kogitsunemaru is!! *literally* a noh song-- he's given his shape because Kokaji exists- because the people sing of #the little fox that helped Sanjou Munechika out and the name 'Kogitsune' engraved on the back as gratitude towards that incarnation of Inari #so why is it Sui who gets to carry that weight?#why is it Sui who recognises Mika has gone too far and needs to be saved- who admits Mika's crimes to Master when Kogi's kept them secret-#when Kogi knows what Mika does and isn't gonna take bull from him?#why is it the Gous that Mikazuki entrusts to be the bridge between human and non-human when Kogi should be right by his side?#when utaawase happened? When Kogi said he wouldn't commit time crimes but never excluded helping him in ways that don't break their mission?#why is it that the existential message-- being existent so long someone calls your name- or whether flowers songs and feelings aren't a part #of history if they're not passed down like objects or writing or *swords* (they are)- what'll remain of a sword if you lose your name--#falls on Sui when Kogi is literally given a shape by his song engraving his name?#also the girl is wearing a *Noh* mask TT-TT #anyway sorry for the rambling I just feel Kogi is Painfully absent in TKO when he Should be in there given past myu and it hurts ;-;#I hope past myus had meaning and he'll return.
