I always assumed Hayate and Ikazuchi were "newer additions" to the line of holy Seiken and Ren and Kento were its first users.

I'm sure I'm completely wrong, though, when we finally get some more characterization for the two. We've been shown the previous users for Rekka, Kurayami, Nagare, and Gekido, and Suzune was Daishinji's personal invention iirc. If not, then his grandpa who forged Rekka or that grandpa's son who is Dainshji's father.

With all additional gimmick that retcon thing in future. I reckon they do hibiki route where southern riders are endless not just foot soldiers. A lot of ONI riders existed. It's weird north kept majority of the sword . Also, in the course of thousands of years there's only few sword made and some are from eons ago. There is possibility daishinji can be useful if they develop him to be a swordsmith that create the final upgrade or weapon for touma instead of touma magically manifest it. There still yet to be an episode where a sword broke in half and need repairs. Daishinji was repair his own sword for unknown reasons.

I don't expect these to be canon anyway if the show decide to take a different route like star war comics.

I'm pretty certain that this is canon. The Star Wars comics from Marvel are canon. The old Legends comics got cut because Disney thought that continuity was too convoluted for their taste.

oh yea i'm definitely also waiting for those to appear too

hopefully we'll get saikou shadow with the arm and leg forms of x-swordman while x-swordman is its own release, mostly 'cuz i'm sure he'll go the evol shf route of "one shf has parts for other forms while the other shf is the final form"

i need slash now also in addition to them

all the saber designs are so great

Suzune hasn’t been mentioned to have been created by Daishinji, no, but I agree it makes sense that either he created it, it that his father/grandfather did and used it.
It’d be great to hear more about the Seiken in general, though, and when each was created. I doubt we will, but it’d be lovely all the same!

Someone translate the books from eps 24 in english

Damn, that's really sad!

Since it's pretty apparent by now that it won't be happening, I do feel it's a wasted opportunity that we didn't get a trinket based off of bookmarks. I think that could've been fun.

There's so much hidden lore in Saber. Seriously, someone should compile all the translations.
