Tokitsugu

Tokitsugu (時継) is one of the main characters for the single player narrative. He can fight beside the protagonist during hunts in the single player main story.

He placed third in Famitsu's character popularity survey.

Toukiden
Tokitsugu was once a human and the blacksmith of Mahoraba. After losing his body, his soul was saved by the Professor and her mechanic contraption. Indebted to her, he serves as her aide and goes on various chores for her.

Development
Furusawa remarked that the Warriors All-Stars team had consulted the developers of the original IPs for each character. When they had presented their prototype actions for the Toukiden cast, the Toukiden team balked at their choices and demanded that they be heavily revised. The Warriors All-Stars team based the character visuals on Kiwami or Toukiden 2. Furusawa summarized that Tokitsugu was chosen for impact.

Yamadera remarked that voice actors record their lines without any visual aids for video games, so he often struggles to imagine his character's reactions to events. This concerned him for this game in particular due to the large amount of character interactions he had to voice. He also thinks "Nobunyaga" is difficult to pronounce.

Personality
Although his exterior looks adorable and dwarfish, Tokitsugu is really a heroic older brother figure. Many Slayers look up to him. Simple-minded and practical, he doesn't dwell on his situation since he feels he hasn't truly lost anything of importance.

While he is grateful to her and obliges her, he is wary of the Professor's whimsy. Tokitsugu also doesn't appreciate arrogance and often butts heads with Homura.
