Only the first three chapters are out, but hoo boy is it badly written. I don't know how much it messes up Haikyū canon, but the bullcrap it commits to TouRabu canon I do (and the fact it crosses these continua together alone is already more than a little sus):

  • Ōkurikara (TouRabu canon) is the older half-brother of Shōyō Hinata (Haikyū canon). Let that sink in for a moment. Ōkurikara is a sword. How can a sword have any degree of biological relation to a human? That's not to mention said sword exists in real life as well! Before you ask, no, this fic is not AU on TouRabu's side, they still have a Citadel, still have a saniwa, and are still commanded into battle.
  • TouRabu is canonically set in 2205, Haikyū is probably set contemporary to its publication year. The continua are 2 centuries apart!
  • The touken danshi forces are called a "military" even though it clearly isn't, and post-war Japan doesn't have a military.
  • Ōkurikara changes his name to "Yuki" for no reason, while all other swords keep their names.
  • The Citadel is called an "HQ" and a "base".
  • Tsurumaru calls Kuri "Kara-Boya". This doesn't make sense, and the actual address in canon is Kara-.
Aside from that, the usual: bad SPaG, bad dialogue, bad idea, bad plot. The upside is that it's actually funny in its badness, rather than infuriating like that Harry Potter crossover.
