The Touken Ranbu Ice Blade show is a highly anticipated event that combines figure skating and sword fighting, featuring the beloved characters from the popular game Touken Ranbu Online.

このたび公開された『へし切長谷部 イメージオンアイス ver.』は、「刀剣乱舞 ONLINE」の原作スタッフより本公演のために描き下ろされた特別な「へし切長谷部」の姿。 Heshikiri Hasebe is a sword that is said to have been made by Kunishige Hasebe, a swordsmith during the Nanbokucho period.
Its name is said to originate from an anecdote in which Oda Nobunaga crushed a discourteous tea priest to death along with his dining table, and it was later passed down to the Kuroda family, and is now known as a national treasure.It is a swing with a harsh history. Honesty, which values loyalty to the master above all else, and fierceness like a knife, who doesn't mind doing dirty work...The moment when these two intersect is expressed on a new stage, the silver disc, using the sense of speed and realism that is unique to figure skating.
In addition, we will start accepting advance reservations for El Encore and pre-requests from July 3rd (Friday).本公演ではチケットリセールが実施され、当選すると購入したチケットの受け取りに加え、リセール出品も可能となる。 (You can sell either "for all applicants" or "for companions" for resale.)
The official website of "Touken Ranbu - ICE BLADE -" is now releasing details such as performance information and cast members. Pay attention to the ``one flash'' of the swordsmen running around the silver board.
More news about the show will be available on the official website.
