The key visual for Touken Ranbu - ICE BLADE - shows the Ice Spirit character performed by Kaori Sakamoto, a silver medalist at the Milano Cortina Olympics, alongside eight Touken Danshi. The story unfolds in a honmaru guarded by five elemental spirits. When a five-headed dragon called Gozuryu attacks, the spirits scatter into false books and the Ice Spirit awakens. Mikazuki Munechika and the other sword warriors must reclaim the spirits from a distorted history. The cast pairs figure skaters with voice actors, with some skaters appearing only on specific dates. Ticket sales are staggered, with advance lottery applications open now.
