Movie
Description
Shizukagata Naginata originates from the Touken Ranbu franchise as a humanoid personification of a historical weapon. He embodies the Oonaginata-type polearm, a class of large, heavy naginata traditionally wielded by male warriors on battlefields during the weapon's peak wartime usage, contrasting with the lighter Ko-naginata designed for female combatants. This concept shapes his physical design as a tall (195 cm), muscular figure reflecting the weapon's size and weight requirements for combat effectiveness.
He manifests in multiple forms with progressively enhanced capabilities. His initial form possesses moderate combat statistics. His Toku (awakened) form demonstrates improved attributes across survival, leadership, impulse, impact, mobility, scouting, and camouflage. Achieving his Kiwame (refined) form requires reaching level 65 and exhibits significant stat increases, particularly in leadership (72-95), impulse (73-113), and impact (76-123), alongside gaining an additional troop slot. All forms maintain the horizontal attack range characteristic of naginata-class weapons.
Historically within the setting, he lacks a specific real-world counterpart sword or named historical wielder, instead embodying the collective concept of Oonaginata as a weapon class. This distinguishes him from Iwatooshi, the franchise's only named historical naginata. His existence arises from the scarcity of documented named naginata in historical records, necessitating representative personifications for these weapon categories.
Personality traits and background emerge indirectly through gameplay and lore. He maintains a competitive rivalry with spear-class weapons, reflecting historical battlefield transitions between weapon types. He expresses concern about his master remaining at a distance during combat, fearing his destructive power might inadvertently harm them. His historical context places him during periods when naginata were prominent martial weapons, before their later association primarily with women's martial arts.
Acquisition has been restricted to specific time-limited events rather than regular gameplay. These include smithing campaigns in April 2018, September 2019, and November 2021, plus appearances in War Training Expansions 12, 13, 17, 20 and Regiment Battle 6. A notable 2024 campaign required unconventional resource allocation (700/700/700/700) outside standard recipes. He remains unobtainable through standard drops or smithing outside these events.
