Description
Ryūbi Gentoku, also known as Tōka, hails from a noble lineage and possesses a treasured heirloom sword representing her heritage. Her life shatters when an impostor steals both her identity as "Ryūbi Gentoku" and the family sword, casting disgrace upon her name throughout the land. This betrayal propels her on a quest to reclaim the sword and restore her honor.
As the pacifist ruler of the Shoku faction, she champions compassion and diplomacy, seeking to resolve conflicts through reason and moral persuasion. Despite her status, she displays pronounced clumsiness, indecisiveness, and a distinct aversion to administrative tasks like paperwork, frequently needing reminders from subordinates about her duties. While often naive, she exhibits flashes of insight and unfailing kindness towards allies and strangers alike. A cheerful exterior masks fierce determination to aid civilians suffering from civil unrest; threats to their welfare can provoke uncharacteristic anger.
Her journey begins with two bandit attacks while searching for the impostor; the second assault nearly escalates before she accepts protection from Kan'u Unchō's group. Traveling with them, she reunites with Kōsonsan, a former primary school classmate, but fails to recall Kōsonsan's real name, Pairen, causing tension. The stolen sword is recovered through a ruse by Shokatsuryō Koumei, tricking its holder, Enjutsu, into returning it. Later, Ryūbi sacrifices this same sword to save a village from bandits, using it as a lightning rod to destroy a boulder blocking a lake. Kan'u praises this selfless act, cementing Ryūbi's commitment to protecting others above personal legacy.
Seeking deeper bonds, she then pursues a vow of sisterhood with Kan'u and Chōhi Yokutoku. Her initial proposal to be Kan'u's younger sister contradicts historical precedence and Chōhi's existing role as Kan'u's sworn younger sister. They compromise, positioning Ryūbi as Kan'u's elder sister. The trio fully embraces this dynamic, with Kan'u addressing her respectfully as "Aneue." Villagers later present her with a new sword, perceived as a divine replacement for the sacrificed heirloom.
In later narratives like the OVA *Shin Koihime†Musou LIVE Revolution*, she performs as the third idol singer alongside Kan'u and Chōhi. A subsequent OVA storyline sees her win an overseas trip, crash-land on an island, and temporarily integrate into the Nanban group. Her leadership continues evolving across media, charting her growth from a disgraced heir to a resilient leader prioritizing peace and community over personal ambition or martial prowess.
