>>3342061When I fully ranbu'd him there was one spare, and I didn't want to have no safe to use Gine when he returns as a weak kiwame. With the little brother I can listen to his attendant theme while his letters come in; it's really nice. I haven't done this with any other sword except for collecting Shinano pits because it's funny.
I'll admit the idea was slightly motivated by how many Gine artists draw groups of multiple Gine and photograph mochi meeting together. There are currently something like six Gine in existence, each with different sheaths and handle guards. At this time there is an exhibition showing as many together in one room as possible, and the Ginefags are all visiting and depicting Gine gatherings. It works well for some swords.
