>>3206327>Anyone know when Hanamaru S3 might come out btw?Nope, but a S3 should definitely be on its way. Maybe they're waiting for more swords to have enough to introduce 1-2 per episode.
Honestly, it's a damn shame that it seems they'll never cross-implement swords between the musicals and the stageplays.
The way it's going:
- Musical: will never have any R4-5 sword other than Jiji, the Awataguchi, Osafune, Kobizen, Samonji, and Miike
- Stageplay: will never have the Sanjou, Kotetsu, and Muramasa
Unlisted swords, Horikawa, Sadamune, Kanesada, and Aoe swords seem like fair game between the two.
I have a feeling the two franchises are going to continue playing this weird chess until one or the other runs out of new characters. Though I suspect that won't happen for a long time because the system works out well: the musical which has the more limited character pool takes longer to implement swords due to its maximum of 6 per run, while the stageplay that has the larger pool speeds through implementation.
