In _Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru_ , whenever a new character is introduced, a bit of
information about the character is displayed on screen - their name, what type
of sword they are, and a number. For example, when Tsurumaru is introduced in
episode 2, we find that he is numbered "23".

What do these numbers mean?
