Jian Wei Jun Wu

Jian Wei Jun Wu is a visual novel set in 1633. You play as Kayo, the daughter of a food and tea house owner in Edo. When a Tokugawa samurai orders her to take the place of a princess in a false bridal procession, Kayo accepts because she fears her family’s business will be difficult to run if she refuses. She sets out along the Tōkaidō and interacts with samurais; your choices shape the story and can unlock 24 endings across six main characters.

Story and setting

The story takes place during the Sword Retrieving Imperial Match, held across the country and by the Bakufu. Samurai who compete and obtain one of the Tenka-Goken, the Five Swords under Heaven, gain the power to exterminate apparitions and can be honored as true samurai. Winning the Bakufu’s match can also bring a samurai official promotion, a title and whatever he wishes for. The five swords are Onimaru Kunitsuna, Dōjigiri, Ōtenta, Mikazuki Munechika and Juzumaru.

Two parts of the story

The story has two parts: the prequel, “False Bridal Procession in Tōkaidō,” and the sequel, “Sword Retrieving Imperial Match.” The sequel follows Kayo and the character she falls in love with. Depending on your choices, it branches into the Ken and Kimi routes: Ken follows the road of the samurai, marked by death and separation, while Kimi describes a happier life shaped by Kayo’s influence.

In the prequel, you advance the story through ordinary selections. In the sequel, Magatama Selection takes their place. It tracks four shikon, or “four souls”: courage, wisdom, love and friendship. Your choices raise the value of a particular shikon, and their resulting states determine whether an ending falls into the Ken or Kimi route. Each main character has four endings based on your choices, and each ending unlocks a new Epilog scenario.
