Standard kanji spelling; 鬨 is a specific character for a war cry or shout.
Common kana-mixed spelling; easier to read and write than the full kanji form.
The word 鬨 (とき) originally referred to a war cry or shout raised in battle. Combined with 声 (こえ, 'voice'), it forms the set phrase 鬨の声, meaning a collective battle cry. The kanji 鬨 is composed of 門 (gate) and 共 (together), suggesting a shout raised together at the gate or in battle.
