AKAYUKI Currency Guide: Shop Labels, Rewards and Blade Upgrades

The shop uses Ryō in its “2x Ryō” listing. Your balance appears with the ¥ symbol beside your level in the bottom-right HUD. Codes can award currency, and you spend it at the forge to upgrade your katana.

The key distinction is between currency for blade upgrades and Rename Spins for family-name rerolls. Both can appear among rewards, but they serve different progression systems.

Recognizing currency labels in the HUD and shop

Currency labels you may encounter in the HUD, shop and third-party reward guides:

For example, a display reading “LV 2” alongside “¥40” means level 2 and a currency balance of 40; the two numbers track different things.

The archived version 1.3.9–1.3.10 store listing priced “2x Ryō” at 999 Robux. That figure is the archived Robux price of the store item, not a Ryō balance or a blade-upgrade cost. Its description was simply “2x Ryō,” without further details about which rewards it covered.

Where currency comes from

Codes are one source of currency rewards. See the AKAYUKI codes page for the maintained code list, reward amounts and redemption instructions.

Currency and Rename Spins can be included in the same reward package. Receiving both does not make them interchangeable: the currency supports blade upgrades, while the spins support family-name rerolls.

Where currency goes: katana upgrades

You spend currency at the forge to improve your katana. Blade progression follows five-level intervals up to level 50, connecting your spending to your character’s level progression.

That gives your balance a practical purpose: currency pays for blade improvements as you reach the relevant upgrade levels. Level progress and currency therefore contribute different parts of the upgrade process. See the blade upgrade levels guide for that progression topic.

Keep Rename Spins separate

Rename Spins reroll your samurai family name. They can come from codes and combat rewards, and rarer family names provide better stat boosts. Oda, for example, is a Legendary family name.

A combat result showing “+4 RENAME SPINS” identifies a gain in that separate reroll resource; it is not a ¥4 currency payout. Read the reward label as well as the number so you know whether you received something for blade upgrades or family-name rerolls. The family names guide covers the latter system.
