Lul, that little tiger is funny to watch.

Speaking of which, there's even more of than just one. This episode honestly had more humor than usual. I bet someday, that animal is going to grow up to be a badass predator. That tug of war contest...it's kinda amusing how some characters are taking it casually while others are tryharding.

What's the role of tiger cubs in the game?
Oh, and I love 'Bang!' voice instead of real shoot, so politically corrected.

They don't have any special role in the game, Gokotai's sprite is just surrounded by tiger cubs. And after he returns from kiwame training he only has one huge tiger fighting beside him. They're probably some historical reference but I haven't looked into it.

It was funny to watch the little tigers play around and messing with everyone. They were just trying to help. That sports festival looked fun. The award was quite the surprise.

The first part is really funny and sweet. Nothing makes me happier than seeing Jiji and Kogi in one screen together (and actually talk) ♥♥♥

The 5 little tora(tigers) are cute but a bit of a mess/disaster!
The sports fest was fun as well!
4/5.

Gokotai (the tantou) was used by a Japanese diplomat in China to fight off a bunch of tigers when he was journeying to meet the emperor.

As for why he has them in TKRB I guess one of the designers just thought it would be fun to draw/cute.

I loved this episode, it was so fun. The second half had such amazing energy and I was happy to see the new swords. Poor Heshikiri though! He tried so hard and for that. It made me actually feel bad for him, before I just thought he was a bit annoying. He was winning me over. I wish we could have seen more Ookurikara but they had to give a lot of time to the new boy I guess.

Hahahaha I mean.. I guess you can say it's for girls but many guys enjoy it too! Especially many that enjoys slice of life. Plus there isn't much romance involved so it's more mild than like YOI hMM...
Nothing wrong with a little Touken Ranbu in your life~

Aww...! I can't stand the cuteness <33 The idea of putting tigers half the episode was very sweet and adorable =^o^=
This episode was very fun to watch :D Tsurumaru is the best at making suprises! Who wonder he could transform gold into a cookie XD I feel bad for Hasebe for not receiving true gold. His heart seems broken for discovering the truth about the medal...

any episode with Kogitsunemaru is a good episode- and it's better the more screentime he get >:D!

i started watching this mainly since the discord's gotten mudae and the characters from this franchise kept popping up,
i was also reminded that i bought a kogitsunemaru-statue some year or two ago,

but there's lots of great and fun characters in this anime .w.
and i'm so happy when i can guess who they are based on their appearances _XD

....not that i've played the touken ranbu game/s, but i've watched anime with some of the characters and weapons appearing, and i've played Koei's warrior series so i know a little bit .w.
I like to comment Episodes as i Watch them.
