Azur Lane (Video Game)	comment	Azur Lane (ç¢§è“�èˆªçº¿) is a Free-to-Play Chinese mobile Shoot 'Em Up with Mon elements developed by Manjuu and Yongshi, published by bilibili for both iOS and Android. It officially has Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and English (US and Canada) servers and localization — the latter formally releasing on May 20th, 2019 after a period of open beta starting back in August 16th of 2018. The server was also opened for players in Southeast Asia on August 23rd of '18.Set (mostly) during an alternative timeline of World War II, the player takes on the role of a Commander (CN/JP:æŒ‡æ�®å®˜, zhihuiguan/shikikan), commanding and maintaining a fleet of shipgirls. In the midst of an earlier worldwide conflict, a mysterious enemy named the Sirens emerged from the sea, devastating the divided nations of the world and causing humanity to lose more than 90% of its control over the sea.Decades later, deciding to unite against this enemy and reclaim the sea, the major nations of the world allied and created Azur Lane, a worldwide military organization. The story starts off with a training drill with the USS Hornet, during which the Commander learns of the bombing of Pearl Harbor; the Ironblood (German) nation and the Sakura Empire (Japan) have formed the Crimson Axis, betraying Azur Lane and using Siren technology to attack the Eagle Union (United States) and its Royal Navy (British) allies, while vowing to deal with the Siren threat in their own way.However, where did the Sirens even come from? What are they really after, and why would they aid the members of the Crimson Axis? Why do they seem surprisingly uninterested in the conflict itself? And what, precisely, do the leaders of the Crimson Axis seem to know that the rest of the world doesn't?...The game also spawned a few official spinoffs:

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_12f70f7b	type	Regional Bonus
Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_12f70f7b	comment	Regional Bonus: The Japanese version of the game has gotten a few events and shipgirls before China and often having easier versions of events that ran in China, overlapping with Difficulty by Region some. This has decreased with time with events being at the same general difficulty, though it does get a few unique events still. English ver: Lower difficulty for Fallen Wings (to make up for not having the ability to increase the final level cap), Enterprise and Cleveland casual/bike skins for a time. It has gotten the Arte skins for both Fubuki and Yamashiro also. It also got the easier version of World 12 from the initial addition. The first area to get Z23's book store skin, Z23's oath skin, and Amagi's swimsuit skin. Lucky Skin boxes come with most events in addition to major skin periods (chinese new year, Anniversary, etc). Japanese ver.: Votoms collaboration mini event, first to get Arte Akihabara mini event with skins for Fubuki and Yamashiro, Nico Nico Skin for Ayanami. Chinese ver. : Bilibili shipgrils, Bilibili skins for Javelin and Laffey, Lawson Mini event (though this may become available to Japan in the future though not likely) with skins for Yuudachi and Rodney, cheaper 5* equipment upgrades and ability to level up past level cap (though not lv 100 one) without limit breaking them. An exclusive skin for An Shan. They do have regional penalty of more censored artwork (particularly in 2021) with some ships rendered unobtainable, however. Taiwanese Ver.: A summer/non swimsuit themed skin for Yamashiro for a while (it's only in June 2021 that other areas got a shot at it)

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_13d2ffe1	comment	Enforced. Girls with high affection towards the player (up to a certain threshold) will have their stats increased. Maximum bonus is 12% when reaching 200 Affinity (after swearing the oath). It is theorized, but not canonically confirmed, that shipgirl becoming stronger the more she loves her Commander is likely linking to how she becomes closer to a human being rather than a weapon. There are some hints regarding Enterprise and Code G (Alterprise) becoming who they are now due to the fact that there are presences of the "Commander" they adored and loved, but in Enterprise's case, she managed to live a rather happily life with a real presence of her Commander, but the same cannot be said for Code G.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_14848fa3	comment	Multinational Team: This is the norm when building teams, especially since certain nations' ships, like Ironblood (German) ones, have much less variety compared to the massive number of Eagle Union or Royal ships. And, of course, the two sides also count: Azur Lane, the equivalent to the Allies, consists of the Eagle Union (the United States), the Royal Navy (the British Empire), Iris Libre (the Free French), the Eastern Radiance/Dragon Empry (a combination of the various Chinas), the Northern Union (the USSR), and the New Sakura Empire (no historical equivalent). The Crimson Axis, the equivalent of the Axis Powers, consists of the Sakura Empire (Imperial Japan), the Ironblood (Nazi Germany), Vichya Dominion (Vichy France), and Imperium of Sardegna/Sardinia (Fascist Italy).

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_17975d1b	comment	Unstable Equilibrium: If the flagship is sunk, the fleet can still retry the encounter if there are still surviving main fleet shipgirls. That's in theory. In practice, if the enemies were able to sink the flagship even with two or three main fleet members present, they're even more likely to be able to do so with a now-diminished main fleet, especially given that damage from the failed attempt will carry over.

While several of the Japanese aircraft carriers are Yanderes who are blatantly obsessed with the player from the start and instead their lines indicate the opposite, that the player is becoming more affectionate to them with each increase in Affinity level.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_1c0d4155	comment	Necessary Drawback: All weapons have a number of stats including angle, damage, range and reload rate, such that rarely will there be any weapon that is an upgrade in every way to another. Torpedo bombers have two different types of patterns. One, usually found on Eagle and Royal planes, fires torpedoes in parallel lines down the screen, which is more likely to get a hit and can hit multiple targets, but deals less individual damage if the target doesn't sail into them by itself. The other, usually from Sakura planes, has all torpedoes converge on a targeted point, which is much more powerful but also easier to miss completely.

In the 4th chapter of "Visitors from Another Dimension" event, there's a lot of discussion going on about gameplay mechanics like the mood bar or running out of fuel by grinding stages. Not a surprise considering it's a crossover with the Neptunia series, where breaking the fourth wall happens very often.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_21b5f849	comment	"Crimson Echoes" show us Amagi and Kaga completed as a battlecruiser and a battleship respectively (with Akagi also featured and still fitting-out), and the latter two's eventual conversion to fleet carriers due to the Washington Naval Treaty. In reality, none of them were that close to completion prior to the Washington Naval Treaty. note Furthermore, the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 was what damaged a dry-docked Amagi beyond repair, which is why Kaga was chosen instead to become Akagi's sister ship as a fleet carrier. Kaga's actual sister ship, Tosa, is also reduced to a fleeting My Name Is Inigo Montoya moment where Kaga identifies herself as a member of the class, and only in the English version. Although Tosa came with the rerun, reruns have thus far never changed story content, meaning she still doesn't get acknowledged In-Universe.

Profanity, memespeak, and occasionally contextually nonsensical references abound. In some cases it generally works well (the Kizuna AI crossover was basically built for this kind of treatment, and the game already has assets such as the "deal with it" shades to encourage meme overload), in other cases it's a bit more debatable.

The gun then has ammo placed next to it on the shelf when, during the event, Prinz Eugen wonders if it might just help the Ironblood with "Plan Z", and a bit later Akagi is receptive to sharing the artifact with Eugen and the IB for this purpose in exchange for IB technical information and what exactly they really know about the Sirens... and cut to black.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_24321e44	comment	Only Sane Man: While plenty of ships in can count as this for their faction, the Commander in general is the biggest contender for this trope. As the story progresses, the ship girls note the Commander's competence and being adjusted enough for them to confide in him in their questlines. Justified out of universe given the Commander needs to be a blank slate for the player and thus can't have any major quirks and in-universe given that commanding a variety of powerful ship girls with a wild variety of personality traits requires someone to keep them cohesive. Also a pretty a literal example with both uses of the word "man", given the Commander is implied to be the only regular human around, with the incidental use of male pronouns and depiction in the Comic Anthology making him The One Guy, and a rather tired normal guy surrounded by powerful ship girls at that.

You can command up to hundreds of shipgirls, but at most you can see 5 girls wandering around (some shipgirls that you have already retired will still appear here from time to time), when you expect it should be at least like in anime with myriad of shipgirls doing various things.

This is because very few people in the base (even many who don't know about the situation) want to see the Commander replaced by someone else.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: For starters, everybody speaks Chinese or Japanese regardless of side (and presumably would speak English if full English voice for the game was considered feasible), flat screen television exists, the Coca-Cola Captain Ersatz use the modern bottle design, apparently video games exist (as shown in Long Island's sidequest), as do idol singers (as shown in Unicorn's sidequest), social media, light novels, manga, and modern romance novels as seen in Visitors From Another Dimension (the Hyperdimension Neptunia event), and online shopping and thus the internet (Atago's sidequest), but all the characters are based on WWII warships and have appropriate armament for WWII warships and seem to have no prior knowledge of the events of WWII. However, some lines and biographies have the ships reference things that happen later in the war, such as battles they take part in long after the start of the game, or even after the war, including mentioning their eventual fates note Nagara refers to both Akagi's sinking and her being sunk by a submarine in her biography, Jamaica references her service in the Korean War, Nevada references her use as a target ship during Operation Crossroads, Z35 mentions being sunk by her own mine(which happens to be the one she's sitting on), etc.. This is an exclusive trait to your playable ships, as the story ones appear unaware of such things. As such, much of the anachronisms are actually explained: the majority are only seen alongside the playable ships, who seem to be living in an era post-WWII, which is explains why they have modern technology and concepts, while little to none of the anachronistic elements show up alongside the story versions.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_26a98394	comment	Forced Level-Grinding: New ships always start at level 1. In the beginning, this isn't much of an issue, but when you're up to three fleets that are averaging around level 60, you're going to have to grind the heck out of that new ship before it becomes useful. However with the dorm and large commissions, this isn't as painful or long as you'd think, especially the higher your commander level is. Now completely averted with the introduction of EXP Data Packs, which allow you to just arbitrarily give experience points to ships, and the complete redesign of the Lecture Hall ensuring you have a steady supply of them.

Many ships across all factions also have barrage or "All Out Assault" skills that fire a large burst of shots, limited by cooldown based on either time or number of normal shots fired.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_3073efe5	comment	Scunthorpe Problem: The English version's chat censor isn't exactly the best.

Censoring the "pedo" in "torpedo"... again, in a game about warships that use both ship-launched and air-launched torpedoes. Also fixed by putting any form of punctuation at the end of it. Censoring the "Jap"note A racial slur used to address a Japanese person in "Japan"... in a game heavily influenced by Japanese culture with a boatload of Japanese ships and voiced only in Japanese. In an inversion of the above, "Essex" will be censored due to the word "sex" if there's punctuation or other texts before or after her name. Strangely, the word "shit" isn't censored at all. What seem to be obscure Malay or Indonesian profanities are censored, including the "peli" in "zeppelin", "kimak" in "dakimakura", and "ewe" in "newer". Considering only the offending substring is replaced with asterisks (*), calling someone "newer" is... ill-advised.

The primary Money Sink for coins in the game is Construction, with both Wisdom Cubes and Coins consumed for each ship built. If the Commander doesn't keep other expenditures in control, they can easily find themselves running short of coins during events. More Money Sinks for coins are introduced as time went on, such as Retrofits and Cognitive Awakening which are more expensive for higher rarity ships. The biggest Money Sink by far though, is the Prototype Rare ship developments, which costs huge amount of fuel (and time) for the required combat experience and even more Coin for the blueprints.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_33864ee8	comment	The Data Archives from the Operation Siren game mode. As of March 2021, there are nine categories of archives, each with six entries. Each entry within a category must be collected in order or they will not spawn. Not so bad, right? Well, some of them will only spawn the first time you clear a sector in an Operation Siren cycle. Others will randomly appear when revisiting sectors you have already cleared. These two types of spawns can alternate within a single category. So it is entirely possible for you to have cleared a sector that has a first-time-only archive spawn prior to having collected all of the previous archives in the category, locking you out of getting it. Mercifully, the clear status of every sector resets every month, preventing them from being Permanently Missable Content. This still means that making one mistake could lock you out of attaining 100% Completion for a month, and trying to figure out the order yourself could take years.

Her sheer amount of Memetic Mutation led to the devs giving Sandy a remodel, making her the first ever playable ship above SR/SSR rarity - Ultra Rare. To a lesser degree, West Virginia, where even the character designer jumped on the "Take Me Home, Country Roads" meme bandwagon. The fanbase's perception of Akashi being greedy is becoming more and more prominent. During the Neptunia collab, she stated that she will take her share of profit made by the Neptunia girls. This loading screen canonizes the Egyptian Gods trio of Helena, Wichita, and Cleveland. The original poor translation of Hornet's name as "Big Wasp Yo" led to first community jokes and now In-Universe acknowledgement (as the modern, improved translation leads to Hornet warning you to not call her Big Wasp, a "feature" that isn't present in the other translations). A lot of jokes circulated in the fandom about how the T4 gear boxes Shiranui sells on discount are really just T3 gear boxes she painted gold. The May 23 2019 update actually added a loading screen image of her repainting T3 gear boxes, confirming players' suspicions about her practices. Some fans like to portray Enterprise as a kind of military police who comes knocking when Ark Royal gets too pervy with destroyers. The English version canonizes this in "A Prayer for Peace" when Georgia threatens to call Enterprise on Ark after the latter's in bliss from the presence of so many destroyers at the party. Later, one Spring Festival Juustagram shows a rather excited-looking Ark taking a photo of a scared-looking Little Bel featuring an angry Enterprise standing behind Ark with a pair of handcuffs, with Enty captioning the picture "We caught her red-handed". Ironically, it's revealed that Ark was actually innocent, as she isn't interested in anything other than destroyers and the Commandernote The Royal Maids had actually asked her to take some pictures of them, Little Bel was simply nervous, and Ark's expression was from accidentally accessing a picture of a destroyer on her camera. "Apologems" is a very common fan catchphrase in any gacha game community, referring to the premium currency given to compensate players every time an unexpected issue or maintenance happens. In a Juustagram, the player can choose "#Apologems" as a comment to the post where Akashi hoards a lot of red training books (the most desired kind) in a secret room.

This doesn't come without a few drawbacks: Bigger bombs have a lower spread and more blast radius (better for bosses/worse for mook clearing), and lean more towards heavy armor.

It doesn't look as cool as staying in the centre and trying to dance through the patterns, but is much safer. In general, lower rarity ships, especially if they have a retrofit. They tend not to have as impressive of stats as their higher-rarity counterparts and with very few exceptions, have simpler and less-flashy skills, but they cost less oil to field and are easy to limit break, retrofit, and in the case of commons, are easily fed duplicates for faster gains in enhancement, and a large portion of a ship's overall power comes from her equipment. As a result, when well-equipped, low-rarity ships can still be very useful.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_3ccaf3ac	comment	No Swastikas: Ironblood shipgirls have their swastikas replaced with X symbols resembling Morden's Army. That said, Z46's head decoration comes awfully close. Furthermore, the actual faction symbol has nothing to do with a swastika and is instead a heavily stylized Iron Cross. However, other Nazi symbols make it through - in particular, several Ironblood shipgirls wear Reichsadlers with the very distinctive styling of the Parteiadler, though the swastika in the circle the eagle is perched on has been replaced with a plus sign and the facing of the eagle is inconsistent (left-facing is the Parteiadler, right-facing is the Reichsadler). While far from all Ironblood shipgirls wear them, Z46 wears a large Reichsadler hair ornament on her bangs, Bismarck has a Reichsadler lapel pin, and Tirpitz, Scharnhorst, and Gneisenau all have either a Reichsadler or Parteiadler on their caps.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6	comment	Magikarp Power: In general, everyone gets this to some degree, since the limit break mechanic unlocks fairly significant amounts of power for everyone - a 5* ship is a lot more powerful than the same ship at 2*, for example. There are, however, some standout examples in terms of broad ship classes: Heavy Cruisers get this in terms of survivability. Early on they have decent firepower and hp with poor evasion and speed but past level 100 they'll start gaining some stats like evasion in rather large amounts, turning them into something more akin to a Lightning Bruiser. Backline ships are this more generally, with battleships being the most dramatic. Because of the way their volleys work, a battleship straight out of the box is going to seem like a really weak unit because it only does one shot of its guns every time you activate it (poor Repulse is infamous for giving newbies a poor opinion of battleships as a result). The first and third limit breaks cause each activation of the guns to fire an additional volley, however, so a fully-limit broken BB or BC fires three times each activation instead of one. Needless to say, when combined with the huge increase in Firepower that comes with limit breaks (battleships being ruled by their Firepower stat to a large degree) the difference between an limit broken BB and an un-limit broken one of the very same model can be dramatic. Some refits have such an effect due to the stat boosts/new skills they can bring. The stat boosts can get to the level of surpassing higher rarity ships in the same ship class. One example being Leander (Normal/Gray rarity) who upon refitted is comparable with Belfast at least.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_4cc57ad5	comment	Stop Poking Me!: The ships have three kinds of pokes: Normal (areas besides the chest or head) is generally not minded. Special (the chest) gets a mix of reactions: some are angry it's being done at all, some are angry you're doing it in public, a few unique ones like Akagi are generally eager for you to continue, the various marriage skins have the girls not mind being risque with you, and some have pointed reactions to your boldness. Headpat (the head) tends to be varied since it's only present on a smaller number of ships. Notably, the Live2D secretaries (the starters, Akashi, Yukikaze, and others with Live2D skins) have different animated reactions to all three areas.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: The 2nd trailer showed younger Yorktown sisters, but kansen in the game proper are Born as an Adult; the later existence of the young versions comes as a surprise. A number of Eagle Union girls show this in places due to it being the first faction to be worked on, thus lacking for a while a coherent theme seen in others. This results in, amongst others, a cat-eared maid destroyer and a heavy cruiser with horns and mechanical arms. Some ships are woefully underrepresented for their history (e.g., Norfolk and Pensacola) in a number of areas, compared to later on where most ships with historical weight got their due. A large chunk of earlier ships and skins had no facial expressions based on their dialogue compared to later ones. However, the game is trying to alleviate it by adding facial expressions from the Crosswave spinoff to earlier ships based on events - as of this writing, Saratoga, Cleveland, Hornet, Enterprise, and Helena have updated expressions on their original skins.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_535ec99d	comment	Non-Entity General: In a manner similar to KanColle's Admiral, the Azur Lane Commander is a featureless entity who commands every action taken by shipgirls during combat in all fleets present and micromanages the equipment assigned to all ships, but nonetheless interacts with the shipgirls much more than most examples of this trope, being able to form relationships with and eventually marry them. Moreover, cutscenes for the shipgirls' personal questlines and for some events that explicitly take place at your naval base do have the Commander interacting with the girls directly, though early on the Commander is never heard talking (though it's made clear that they do say stuff). Later questlines and events introduced a "branching dialogue" system similar to other games, and often there's only one dialogue option - this is still meant to reflect "you" saying things and thus requires your input. This does end up raising some questions as to precisely who we are, since it becomes clear that our Azur Lane is a much broader multinational entity than the "historical" one being observed by the Sirens. Subverted in "Ashen Simulacrum", where the Commander themselves was targeted.

Even in the former case, the protagonists and circumstances are often changed, partially due to not every ship involved being a playable character at the time of release, and at the same time to promote the newly released characters. One can infer that the following major in-game events roughly equate to the following real world events: - Crimson Echoes - The Great Kanto Earthquake and the Washington Naval Treaty Winter's Crown Pt 1 - Battle Of The North Cape Winter's Crown Pt 2 - Operation Catechism Empyrean Tragicomedy - Battle of Calabria, Battle of Taranto, and Battle of Cape Matapan. Scherzo Of Iron & Blood - Hunt for the Bismarck Iris Of Light & Dark Pt 1 - Operation Catapult Iris Of Light & Dark Pt 2 - Naval Battle Of Casablanca and the Scuttling of the Vichy Fleet at Toulon. Skybound Oratorio - The Battle of Madagascar (very loosely) Even so, the main playable story does focus on the Pacific and also has a basis in real History, including Pearl Harbor, Midway, Guadalcanal, and so on.

At least the game is kind enough to warn you of this when you choose the option, and it's ultimately how Exercises are fought anyway and a huge convenience for Level Grinding as your ships become basically invincible if they're 15 levels or more higher than the enemy.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_5e782d0c	comment	Super Prototype: Prototype Rare ships have markedly superior stats over the rarest ships in their respective categories, and they come with extremely powerful skills to boot. Though they are not obtained from gacha or otherwise time-limited or event exclusive, they require an absolutely massive time and resource investment to obtain and reach their full potential. Players need to obtain 3 million (for Priority rarity) or 3.6 million (for Decisive rarity) EXP in combat with the specified ship classes and nationality for each ship. No PvP, no Non-Combat EXP from backyard and auditorium, you must sortie your ship out and Level Grind the required EXP. The only saving grace in the long grind is that all ships that meet the research criteria contributes towards the required EXP, so if you have the fuel to burn, you can sortie three ships at once to triple the EXP gain rate, possibly even more if one of them scores the MVP. The EXP grind, time consuming as it is, is nothing compared to the amount of Strengthening Materials (which looks like blueprints) required to fully Limit Break them, requiring a total of 343 blueprints for Priority rarity or 513 for Decisive rarity. While they don't require active grinding and the Prototype Rare ships doesn't require Limit Breaks to reach max level, the amount of research required is a huge Money Sink and takes so much time that it's faster to grind out the required EXP than to collect all the blueprints. The time-limited events always provide 30 blueprints that can be traded for Priority Rare blueprints, plus 10 for Decisive Rarity ships in their exchange shop, but it costs a lot of in-game currency to purchase them all, meaning you'll have to grind a lot in several events. They also have powerful weapon associated with them, easily some of the best equipment in the game.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_60eac4ba	type	Off the Rails
Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_60eac4ba	comment	Off the Rails: The basic theme of the historically-inspired events like "Winter's Crown" or "Scherzo of Iron and Blood" with regards to the real history of the events covered in battles. While the reasoning may differ in the first half, the events of the first part tend to play out historically or close to historically, and then the Sirens often try to derail events in the second half of the event and force another outcome; Azur Lane forces must both accomplish their original mission and deal with the Sirens. Duke of York and Victorious push on with Operation Tungsten during "Winter's Crown" despite the creation of a massive Mirror Sea by the Sirens that threatens not just the operation, but the entirety of northern Europe. The main story mode is based off of the Pacific Theater, but unlike the actual war, the Sakura forces continue to get stronger and a number of previously sunk enemy ships return to have another go. This last bit is explained in the Visitors Dyed in Red event where it turns out Story!Akagi was overseeing the creation of cloned ships. Throughout the events, the Sirens seem much more directly involved in the Atlantic Theater and nearly always take a direct role in trying to bring about results that favor Ironblood and/or themselves, presumably because they see Ironblood's use of Siren technology as a more productive avenue for their research and attempted "forced evolution", while events in the Pacific are much more often carried out through proxies in the Sakura Empire with little direct Siren presence on the scale of what is seen in "Scherzo of Iron and Blood" or "Winter's Crown". This is understandable, as it's shown that several high-ranking members of Ironblood, including Bismarck, dislike the Sirens and want nothing to do with them, even managing to go against attempts to manipulate them. They are also outnumbered by the Royal Navy, meaning they need more support. The Sakura Empire, on the other hand, is lead by Akagi and Kaga, who are 100% onboard with working for the Sirens, and are more evenly matched with the Eagle Union, at least at the start. The "New Sakura Empire" chain of events is another example as it has Shoukaku and Zuikaku changing sides and eventually being joined by Mikasa, Hiei, Nagato and Mutsu, which is a significant divergence from actual history, even as otherwise, the shipgirls mostly stick to their historical roles. The "Empyreal Tragicomedy" event sees the Royal Navy make efforts to persuade the Sardengian empire to return the Azur Lane alliance, and as such none of the Italian ships are sunk or really injured and ends with the possibility that the other party may avoid their historical fate. "Aurora Noctis" is based on an amalgamation of several Arctic convoy raider battles, especially the disaster of Convoy PQ17, which was historically abandoned due to fears of Tirpitz, which are also raised in the event along with false orders to retreat, lest the escorts be sunk by Tirpitz, but in the event, the order to retreat is ignored and the convoy makes it through. However, the part where the event veers far, far from any such historical occurence comes at the very end, when the entire attack on the convoy turns out to be a distraction for Ironblood to launch a surprise attack on Scapa Flow with their entire remaining surface forces.

In the Latin American Spanish dub of the anime, Enterprise is voiced by Marisol Romero, who voiced Gaila in Star Trek (2009), a Green-Skinned Space Babe dating Captain Kirk, aka the captain of the USS Enterprise, the spaceship named after the Real Life sea ship. Due to controversy with her initial VA, Kaga was recast to Yuka Iguchi, the same voice actress behind her counterpart in KanColle.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	type	Guide Dang It!
Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	comment	Guide Dang It!: Quite a few stats are hidden and require wiki-diving or research to discover how they exactly work and how effective gear that affects the stats are. Some campaign levels don't seem to behave like normal. For example, chapter 11-4 has Sendai as boss, whose torpedoes act like gun shells, scale with her firepower, and are extremely lethal against light armor ships but can be blocked by torpedo shields from some ship (like Algerie's or Littorio's), contrast to what torpedoes work in the game. It is unknown, however, if this was intentional or a bug that wasn't fixed to date. The Luck Stat was an infamous example until it was unhidden; without looking at game data, it was solely mentioned in-game by Mikasa's unique Zulu signal flag equipment until a Q2 2019 UI update (exact date depending on server). While the stat's exact formula remains unknown, LCK affects a ship's chance of hitting or evading an enemy's attacks and her chance to land or avoid critical hits. It's still a mystery how strong Mikasa's 5 extra Luck points would be, but the Zulu flag gives other strong buffs anyway so it's mostly a non-factor. PR ships also get a flat Luck boost on the track to a skill upgrade, which is a good thing even if it's unknown how good the +15 Luck boost is. The hidden Speed stat (which is occasionally confused with Evasion). Unlike Luck, its effects are fairly well-understood if a player manages to dig up external resources to run the numbers; higher speed leads to higher combat movement and greater tactical movement on Siren-based maps. In-game, auxiliary items like the gyroscope and the improved boiler add a small amount of Speed which may seemingly due nothing, since the hidden formula depends on the average speed of the entire fleet and the individual value of each item is so minuscule, besides the whole-fleet-bonus Beaver Badge. Aircraft like dive bombers have their raw damage based entirely on the size of their bombs, making a 4-Star Helldiver one of the most powerful aircraft in the game. This doesn't come without a few drawbacks: Bigger bombs have a lower spread and more blast radius (better for bosses/worse for mook clearing), and lean more towards heavy armor. A fighter's damage also depends on whether or not it carries bombs. There's a number of nuances in carrier equipping that require a wiki to do particularly well. Anti-air has a number of fine details that also require wiki surfing if you want to super fine tune it, as it's more advanced than simply summing or averaging all the anti-air stats on a fleet. Manual play tends to optimize the number of anti-air shots before an aircraft goes off the screen versus the damage per shot, not to mention the radius. The fact that PvP is reliant on AI control also requires a different anti-air setup than manual, as radius and damage is more important than hypothetically hitting as many shots as possible as it would be up to pure chance. Burning is also one of the most elusive topic to bring. The thing about burning is that the stronger burns always override the weaker one (for example, battleship burn will always override burning caused by your vanguard), and burning of the same type (having same burn ID) would not replace each other (for example, a ship with weaker firepower that fire first will apply its burning to enemy, and stronger one will not replace it, only extend it). This makes some skills like Atago's Arsonist lose some of their effectiveness. However, weaker burning can extend/refresh the stronger one's duration. The Data Archives from the Operation Siren game mode. As of March 2021, there are nine categories of archives, each with six entries. Each entry within a category must be collected in order or they will not spawn. Not so bad, right? Well, some of them will only spawn the first time you clear a sector in an Operation Siren cycle. Others will randomly appear when revisiting sectors you have already cleared. These two types of spawns can alternate within a single category. So it is entirely possible for you to have cleared a sector that has a first-time-only archive spawn prior to having collected all of the previous archives in the category, locking you out of getting it. Mercifully, the clear status of every sector resets every month, preventing them from being Permanently Missable Content. This still means that making one mistake could lock you out of attaining 100% Completion for a month, and trying to figure out the order yourself could take years.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_77a495f1	type	Historical Badass Upgrade
Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_77a495f1	comment	Historical Badass Upgrade: This game is Based on a True Story, but there are some upgrades compared to the historical equivalents for the Crimson Axis. These upgrades are perhaps justified by Siren involvement and assistance. The Sakura Empire is the in-game incarnation of the real-life Imperial Japanese Navy. Towards the end of the war in the Pacific Theater, the IJN suffered one defeat one after another, mostly due to outdated technology compared to their opponent, the United States Navy. One prominent example was their anti-air capability; it was so bad, the IJN could no longer stand against USN air power (one of the reasons why Yamato and her escort fleet could do so little against Task Force 58's relentless air assault, with few plane casualties on the USN side). Later chapter in the campaign, however, have IJN ships and boss fleets gain tremendous power and anti-air stats that make friendly carriers' air raids (more so Dive Bombers than Torpedo ones) deal reduced damage and encourage more battleship use mixed with torpedo bomber and/or fighter heavy carriers instead (which is ironic, since the Pacific theater was dominated by aircraft carriers with dive bombers during the later stages of World War II). And recent events reveal they're using relics to strengthen a number of ships (Shinano being a big example) if not materialize paper ones. The Iron Blood navy represents the real life Kriegsmarine. The Third Reich's navy wasn't as strong as their army, and they got severely outnumbered by Royal Navy, suffering a lot of limitations due to the Versailles treaty after World War I and only having a few reliable battleships/battlecruisers. Aircraft carriers were almost non-existent (they relied instead on the Luftwaffe for air power), a number of U-boat ships eventually got rounded-up and eradicated by the superior numbers and technology of the Royal Navy, and the only completed carrier (Graf Zeppelin) was in a rather woeful state. Ironblood leaders, in fact, was aware of this trope, so they had to resort to some sorts of technology (mostly revolving around Wisdom Cubes) that can realize so-called "paper ships" (either incomplete or never got out from design phase), resulted in the like of Friedrich der GroÃŸe or Roon in order to even the odd against their Azur Lane opponents. The Dragon Empery. Sure, they did take part in the fight against the Axis, but mostly on land, and there weren't many fights on the sea against their main enemy, the IJN. Their navy had some prominent moments before World War II, but often with disastrous results. To say that they are a core member of Azur Lane is a bit of an exaggeration, at least, from a naval perspective. Northern Parliament. Russian Navy and then Soviet Navy only played secondary roles during two World Wars, unlike other powers like U.S. Navy or Imperial Japan Navy; their ship composition was far from formidable, and their combat records left much to desire, aside from their destroyer and submarine flotillas. In-game however, the Northern Paliarment gained access to some wisdom cube secrets and thus they managed to manifest powerful ships like Sovetsky Soyuz-class battleship sisters, or made use of some technology to further reinforce their naval power, that led to their navy pulling more weight than most people perceived them to be.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_85474aa1	comment	Power Creep: To keep the playbase interested and playing, newer ships are generally stronger than existing ships. The developers have publicly stated that their goal is to have four Ultra Rare events a year. These ships are so strong that things like faction synergy (excepting Nagato) have for the most part fallen by the wayside and the best fleet is as many of these as you can shoehorn in. Even outside of the newer Ultra Rare category, generally ships have gotten more powerful and have greater numbers of more sophisticated skills and newer battleships, battlecruisers, and heavy cruisers completely eclipse those that were present at release. That said, carriers have proven comparatively resistant to power creep, with Enterprise remaining one of the most powerful carriers in the entire game even without getting a retrofit and other release-date carriers like Illustrious, Shouhou, and Unicorn remaining hihgly relevant for their powerful defensive skills. There's a marked difference between the Neptunia and Kizuna AI collaboration events (the ships are collectable at best, the developers at the time didn't want them overshadowing regular ships) and the Dead or Alive, Idolmaster, and SSSS Gridman/Dynazenon events (the ships are quite strong so fans of those who start playing during the event have a decent base to start with).

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_8ad1328a	comment	Luck Stat: Luck exists as a formerly-hidden stat that was solely mentioned in-game by Mikasa's unique Zulu signal flag equipment until a Q2 2019 UI update. While the stat's exact formula remains unknown, LCK affects a ship's chance of hitting or evading an enemy's attacks and her chance to land or avoid critical hits. Often, LCK is one of the few distinguishing factors between otherwise identical Moveset Clones. Besides its mechanical effects, it's often tied into the ultimate fate of the ship during World War II in real life, leading to lots of Historical In-Jokes for those curious enough to dig up the stats: In general, ships that are sunk or scuttled during WW2 have low Luck stats (30-40s) compared to those who survive (and have 60-70 Luck). Oklahoma, Langley, and most Sakura or Ironblood ships (since they lost the war after all) hover at this low Luck stat, for example. On the other hand, ships with particularly astounding battle careers or are preserved for historic purposes get much higher Luck stats — San Diego has 85, Enterprise has 93 (with her signature Lucky E skill to boot), and Mikasa has a staggering 95 with the aforementioned Z Flag bonus to hit 100. Yukikaze has an even more absurd 98 in reference to the seemingly charmed life that ship led. Ships that suffer particularly disastrous fates from true unluckiness sometimes have even lower Luck stats: Some ships that are among the first victims of war in their respective class have sub-30 Luck: Prince of Wales and Repulse were the first capital ships sunk by pure air power on the open sea; Kisaragi was the second IJN ship lost in WW2; Shouhou was the first IJN aircraft carrier lost. Astoria, Quincy, and Vincennes have 15 Luck or less (some of the lowest numbers in the entire game, with Quincy at 9) due to their loss in the Battle of Savo Island due partially to miscommunication. Spence has 20 Luck due to being lost during a typhoon, as well as the victim of mishaps involving her being accidentally rammed or fired upon by other friendly ships beforehand. Arizona, unlike fellow Pearl Harbor sink-mate Oklahoma, has 17 Luck due to being turned into an (unfortunately) environmentally-unfriendly, oil-leaking war monument. PR ships always have 0 luck, as they were never constructed or finished in real life. Along with the second wave of PR ships, there was an added "Fate enhancement" for the first wave ships which aims to up it (and buffs a skill at the very end of the process).

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_8ad43dc9	comment	Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: The Polaris band (Cleveland, Sheffield, Gascogne, Akagi, Admiral Hipper) is just a bunch of volunteers selected by Akashi as a way to experiment on rigging and music performance. All five have no idol experience at all and they still have fun performing against other bands (composed of the Starter ships, Fubuki, Eldridge, and Graf Spee). Another such musical group is seen in Crosswave as San Diego, Cassin, Hornet, and Hipper end up forming a band. "Universe in Unison" has another makeshift band of Illustrious, Dido, Tashkent, Albacore, and Balitmore, and their chief rival is the duo of Roon and Taihou. Portland's character story has her lead a group consisting of herself, Hiei, Doreshire, I-56, and Yuudachi in an exercise.

The general interpretation is that the player's Azur Lane is a much different entity than the historical, Allies-equivalent one and seems tasked with combating the Sirens (and whatever else that may entail).

Chapter 1-1 is actually an ideal place to increase a ship's Affection: the enemy is a mere Level 2, and a fixed ambush spot can be exploited to farm Affection over and over again, with your shipgirl(s) of choice dealing tons of damage to ships with a few hundred HP at most. On the other hand, the enemy can do the same to you should your fleet be too weak to handle them.

Often, high rarity ships perform better than their lower rarity peers, but with an oil price to match, with some exceptions. On the other hand, some low rarity and common ships can outshine their rare sisters, such as USS Ranger (if RNG favors her then she can theoretically deal near-infinity damage), or be more useful and more cost-effective, like the HMS Leander (a valuable support piece in a cruiser or HMS fleet, even in the end-game) or the USS Cassin and USS Downes (very cheap to use and very resilient due to their self-healing nature), as player should manage their oil supply well if they want to grind their account. Still, a common theme is that purple (Elite) and golden ships (Super Rare) are usually highly appreciated and sought after more than teal (Rare) and gray (Common) ones.

For normal stages, higher enemy levels, thus more experience, dropping Core Data (which can be exchanged for valuable equipment and characters), retrofit blue prints. The "skip straight to boss fight" trait that can be unlocked makes for a way to try getting certain rare ships. For event stages, much higher enemy levels, far better equipment blueprint drops (often with event-exclusive gear), and more event materials per clear. In most events they have to be cleared to unlock the SP stage, which is a once-per-day stage that rewards a great deal of event mats upon completion.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: "Khorovod of Dawn's Rime" is really the first true breakthrough in the overarching plot of Azur Lane. It's the first episode to treat the commander as an actual character that is actively participating in conversations. It also sees them and an the North Union access a long forgotten facility with ties to the Sirens, but more importantly the faction that the Ashes seem to have once been affiliated with. It establishes the commander as someone genuinely special not only as the person with the single highest affinity for Wisdom Cubes and all associated technology on Earth, but as someone who the Sirens cannot figure out even with all their overwhelming knowledge. technology, and continuous testing. It even ends on an ominous note revealing that even after all of that the North Union still has one massive secret they've kept from the commander and few of the North Union members furious that Soyuz approved their return to New York with Azur Lane. "Rondo at Rainbowâ€™s End" blows the the previous example out of the water. Where to begin? The shipgirls learning the Awful Truth of the fate their Real Life counterparts, and how the same thing would have happened to all of them had the Sirens not intervened? The glorious, three-years-in-the-making return of Bismarck? The fact that the first thing she does upon returning is to dissolve the Crimson Axis and reunite Iron Blood with Azur Lane, officially ending one of the biggest plot points in the entire series, and doing it with all the epicness that such a moment deserves? Or how about the fact that, for the first time, an Elite Siren is Killed Off for Real, and in a rather sad way? One thing is certain: This gameâ€™s story will never be the same after this event.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_8e9cf84e	comment	"Blind Idiot" Translation: The quality of the English translation early on is...poor, to say at least. Like translating Hornet's name to "Big Wasp Yo". Even after the game goes into open beta/release, the quality of translation, while serviceable, can be pretty inconsistent, including some completely unnecessary translation like translating Indianapolis' "All or Nothing" skill into "Vice Defense", even though "All or Nothing" is already in English in the Japanese version (which the English version is based on). Another example is Enterprise's eagle being named "God of Death" in the English version, a valid translation from "Shinigami", but it's clearly meant to be a reference to her VF wing, the "Grim Reapers", which is also a valid translation. The translation team seems to have realized this mistake. A stuffed doll in her eagle's likeness that was given out as a login reward in March 2021 is named "Grimmy" in the English client. Instead of the Free French faction being called "Iris Libre" like in the other versions, the English version initially called the faction "Iris the Liberty". According to the translation team, this was an order from the higher-ups, and they weren't allowed to change it back. Recently, they seem to have gone back on this, with most of the references to the faction now being "Iris Libre".

Given Pola's suspicious facial expressions and the fact that Zara is The Tease and Shameless Fanservice Girl of the duo, practically throwing her chest to the Commander, stroking the railing and speaking with inneounedos, Pola clearly suspects a Two-Person Pool Party took place between Zara and the Commander.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_8f7f2c6a	comment	National Stereotypes: Eagle Union: Kind of Averted, the Eagle Union has a wide mixture of designs as many of them were conceptualised in the early years of the game's development - but perhaps might be interpreted as a reference to America's "melting pot" culture. More recent releases (around Helena's Retrofit onwards) give the American shipgirls a unifying sci-fi "sleek high-tech in white" Gundam-style look to their rigging, combined with flashy costumes reminiscent of Comic Book superheroes and Shonen heroines. Royal Navy: Officer and a Gentleman, Royals Who Actually Do Something, English Rose, sometimes Knight In Shining Armour, sometimes Battle Butler and Ninja Maid, usually refraining from medieval designs (as this is more Iris Libre's niche) in favour of the Victorian, Edwardian and the Neo-Victorian visual - periods when the British Empire was at the apex of its power and prestige. As for the rigging, it oozes Steampunk and Clock Punk. Ironblood: Cute Monster Girl, Red and Black and Evil All Over (but not necessarily always the evil part), Blood Knight represented through militaristic designs with lots of visual intimidation, lots of black leather, and kind-of "high tech Diesel Punk" rigging reminiscent of the Nazi technology from the Wolfenstein games. Sakura Empire: Yamato Nadeshiko. Also Little Bit Beastly and Horned Humanoid, to reflect the Youkai and other creatures of Japanese Mythology. Dragon Empery: Anime Chinese Girl. Pandas as an Animal Motif. Largely Out of Focus. Northern Parliament: The Baroness, Sensual Slavs, sometimes Vodka Drunkenski. Pale skin and white hair to match. At best, Chummy Commies; at worst, the Token Evil Teammate of Azur Lane. Rigging tends to look more crude or resilient. Iris Libre: Light Is Good, Saintly Church (and the associated visual splendour), Jeanne d'ArchÃ©type and Knight in Shining Armor. Lot of focus on medieval fantasy costumes, armour and weaponry. Vichya Dominion: Similar to above, but Dark Is Not Evil and Black Knight. More strongly represents Church Militant, religious institutions as drivers of war. Sardegna Empire: The Aristocrat Team, The Fashionista, and the Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain. Represents the visual pomp of war, as every girl wears a stylish dress uniform and often a Badass Cape (complete with Dramatic Wind).

Manual play tends to optimize the number of anti-air shots before an aircraft goes off the screen versus the damage per shot, not to mention the radius. The fact that PvP is reliant on AI control also requires a different anti-air setup than manual, as radius and damage is more important than hypothetically hitting as many shots as possible as it would be up to pure chance.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_97c6b148	comment	Allegedly Free Game: Defied and subverted, where the only thing one definitely needs many Gems (which are also available through quests) for are mostly vanity things like skins, Promise Rings, and dorm expansion. While the Dorm allows for automatic stat and level increases, Commissions are completely free (except for oil costs) and do the same thing too. The aforementioned oil required to start missions, do commissions, and buy food for the Dorm to increase stats and levels is also very abundant. Play Every Day is enforced, as many of the lucrative quests are refreshed daily and weekly. Players also don't want to miss any of the events, as they are very helpful to level up lower-leveled ships too as well as the opportunity to acquire very lucrative and enticing rewards, for free. As well, some of the commissions actually have a chance to award the player with gems, though generally only in small amounts, ~10 - when these rare commissions come up, and if they do indeed end up dropping gems. Most players recommend saving the gems earned from these and from some missions to get the dorm expansions, as they have one significant advantage over commissions (free or otherwise): the dorm restores morale over time. Low morale lowers how much XP a ship earns from battle, while high morale boosts it. More slots allow for more ships to recover morale simultaneously. If you do want to take a Gotta Catch Them All approach to recruiting ships, however, spending gems on dock expansions is mandatory. The default maximum falls woefully short of the number of characters that can join your roster, and that's putting aside having enough space to avoid having to incessantly offload duplicates mid-mission. Even still, free gems are generaly enough to cover most port expansion.

Continuing skins including such nods, Zara in her animated bikini skin offers to teach the Commander how to swim at the pool if her affection is high enough and even before then suggestively asks if he had something else in mind. Her sister Pola would later go onto have an animated bikni skin at the beach, where the Commander (inaudibly) tells her that Zara taught him how to swim and used those skills to sneak up behind her. Given Pola's suspicious facial expressions and the fact that Zara is The Tease and Shameless Fanservice Girl of the duo, practically throwing her chest to the Commander, stroking the railing and speaking with inneounedos, Pola clearly suspects a Two-Person Pool Party took place between Zara and the Commander.

While such bosses' EX or SP stage incarnations are the sort of thing Commanders will indeed need optimised, fully-leveled shipgirl compositions with fully-upgraded gear to deal with, it's still a far cry from the sort of thing the story claims they're capable of.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_a86069f	type	Alternate History
Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_a86069f	comment	Alternate History: While several maps and events are clearly based on specific famous battles and events, some changes have been made for drama purposes. "The Solomon Ranger" is supposed to be a recreation of the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, yet the second map has Mutsu as the boss. While she was really there, she historically never attacked or was attacked by enemy ships then and would only be lost to a still-mysterious turret explosion in port a year later. Also, Enterprise is shown as being on a suicidal-anger plateau of the Despair Event Horizon from the loss of Yorktown, Wasp and, it's implied, Hornet; while the Wasp was indeed struck down at the Eastern Solomons, Hornet was the carrier that relieved Lucky E and Saratoga after the pounding they took in the battle. Hornet wouldn't meet her historical end until the Santa Cruz Islands a few months later. "The Hunt for Graf Spee" has the titular Graf Spee scuttling herself in the middle of the Battle of River Plate, against the Royal Navy forces. In reality, she was scuttled after making it to a neutral port looking for repairs to make her seaworthy, following said clash with British forces. note Following the Battle of River Plate, Captain Hans Langsdorff ordered the crew to get the ship docked at the nearest neutral port, which ended up being Montevideo in Uraguay. The British managed to deceive the Captain into thinking that reinforcements were on their way and would arrive before repairs of damage sustained during that battle could be completed to make her seaworthy enough to return to Germany, which led to the Captain ordering that the Graf Spee be scuttled to avoid having her and the equipment inside her fall into British hands. Two days after the scuttling, Captain Langsdorff committed suicide, following the fate of the ship under his command. "Crimson Echoes" show us Amagi and Kaga completed as a battlecruiser and a battleship respectively (with Akagi also featured and still fitting-out), and the latter two's eventual conversion to fleet carriers due to the Washington Naval Treaty. In reality, none of them were that close to completion prior to the Washington Naval Treaty. note Furthermore, the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 was what damaged a dry-docked Amagi beyond repair, which is why Kaga was chosen instead to become Akagi's sister ship as a fleet carrier. Kaga's actual sister ship, Tosa, is also reduced to a fleeting My Name Is Inigo Montoya moment where Kaga identifies herself as a member of the class, and only in the English version. Although Tosa came with the rerun, reruns have thus far never changed story content, meaning she still doesn't get acknowledged In-Universe. "Moonlit Overture", a recreation of the Battle of Savo Islandnote One of, if perhaps not, the worst defeat the US Navy suffered during World War II somewhat glosses over some of the details regarding Chicago and Australia's role in the communication breakdown that lead to the outcome of said battle.note USS Chicago's Captain, Howard Bode, never assumed proper command of the Southern group, following Rear Admiral Crutchely, and the flagship HMAS Australia, leaving the area for a meeting with Rear Admiral Turner, leaving a the chain of command of the Southern group in disarray. Once Vice Admiral Mikawa's Eight fleet attacked, Captain Bode never asserted his command on the southern group and actually had Chicago flee the area without ever alerting the northern group, which led to the decimation of the northern group of Astoria, Quincy and Vincennes. An alternate version of the Battle of the Denmark Strait plays out in the game's beginning introduction, followed "Scherzo of Iron and Blood". In this version Bismarck was given new powers by the sirens, and with this new found power heavily wounded instead of sinking the HMS Hood in one hit. The Royal Navy proceeded to hunt the Bismarck for betrayal of the Azur Lane alliance instead of the context of preventing merchant raid in the WWII. The hunt of the Bismarck then proceeded with some siren intervention thrown in. note Cornered, Bismarck at first refused to continue using the power given by the sirens, believing it belittles the dignity of humankind, and was heavily wounded by the Royal Navy's concentrated effort. The siren Tester intervines, turning the hunt into a three way battle. Eventually Bismarck gave in to use the power as the situation grew dire, the siren Tester activates more hidden powers given to Bismarck, and Bismarck's power went berserk. At the last moment Bismarck regained control of the power and swallowed off all nearly siren ships, and the Royal Navy stopped for a moment, deciding to let Bismarck go out of respect for her will power. A battered and broken Bismarck fired one last salvo in the direction of the Royal Navy to signal her will to live or die in a battle by her own power, and the Royal Navy decided to sink her to respect her will. Bismarck still sank in this version, but a roaming U-556 spotted the sinking Bismarck, and rushes to fufil her promise to save her. Whether she suceeded or not was not mentioned in the story. In actual history, U-556 spotted the the Royal Navy ships heading to Hunt the Bismarck, and they were not deploying the usual anti-submarine measures. However U-556 had already spent all ammo on hunting merchant ships and was low on fuel, thus she could only relay messages back to the command while witnessing the hunt and sink of Bismarck despite being the closest German vessel on the scene.note In the game, U-556 also didn't have any ammo to intervene in the situation, for she was busy hunting merchant ships, a situation that was elegantly demonstrated by a 7-day minigame starting earlier than the event which U-556 hunts merchant vessels while navigating minefields and enemy destroyers with a limited number of torpedos. Many players see the reference and the foreshadowing. On JP server, the skill granted by the item "Proof of Promise" is renamed post-event to 'hatasa reta yakusoku', or "A Promise Fulfilled," suggesting that U-556 was able to keep her promise and save Bismarck. The first half of "Iris of Light and Dark" is a retelling of Operation Catapult and the Attack on Mers-el-Kebir, in the French Algerianote Churchill ordered Operation Catapult as a way to prevent the ships of the French Navy, the 2nd most powerful navy in Europe to fall under command of the German forces, following the Franco-German armistice, which would increase their naval power greatly.. One of the differences, is that Dunkerque and the others act as if Vichy France is already in full effect, but Operation Catapult happened a week before the formal formation of Vichy France, in July 10, 1940. Furthermore, Richelieu is shown as joining the brits, but in real life, she was attacked by Hermes at Dakar following the attack of Mers-el-Kebir. "Ashen Simulacrum" establishes in A2/B2 that NYC harbour is the most heavily-fortified location of the Eagle Union. The now-defunct real world Naval Station New York was far from any exemplar of American naval might.note This is possibly thanks to the writers confusing or conflating it with the New York Port of Embarkation, which was the single biggest military port system in America during WW2 - it was just one mostly utilized by the Army. "Rondo at Rainbow's End" makes it clear that most shipgirls do not in fact know their historical fates - the High Seas Fleet was unaware of their historical scuttling, Zuikaku of meeting her end at the hands of the Eagle Union, and numerous others including Saratoga of their fate as nuclear test subjects in Operation Crossroads. However, Akagi and Kaga are aware of their demise at Midway.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_b6e1d40b	comment	Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Torpedoes deal less damage to lightly-armored ships. In reality, torpedoes, especially the WW2 vintage utilized in AL, are more like mobile mines and are extremely explosive, making them a bit closer to HE shells. And since lightly-armored ships takes extra damage from HE shells, torpedoes should, theoretically speaking, deal extra damage to them. There are instances in real life where lightly-armored ships were just torn in half after taking a hit from torpedoes, and bigger ships, of course, would last longer before they could be sunk or require repairing. This is averted in case of Kawakaze, because all enemies, regardless of their armor type, will take equal share of misery (115% damage to all armor type) when getting hit by her torpedo. However, this is not much of a determent to sinking light armor enemy ships with your torpedoes as it's possible to boost up your torpedo damage quite a ways and compared with the how Hit Points many light armored ships have, one shots are very likely despite the disadvantageous modifier. Speaking of torpedoes, you can launch them at almost point-blank range in-game (and in fact, this is the most efficient way of utilizing non-tracking torpedoes). First, this is a case of Friendly Fireproof that is acceptable gameplay-wise, and second, in real life, this was an impractical practice, as most torpedoes were equipped with a delayed fuse that prevented them from detonating prematurely if launched from a close distance. Ships can fight without having to worry about the wear and tear of their weapons and equipment. Fuel is the only thing that matters for each sortie. Also there is the instance of Bottomless Magazines, due to the fact that they can continue fighting even when in "out of ammo" state at a cost of 50% of their offensive stats (Bismarck gets a reduction of said penalty from 50% to 35% if she's carrying U-556's pledge of protection). This is even more pronounced in Operation Siren, as your ships can fight as long as you have adequate repair kits, without paying attention to ammo at all. All guns have fixed a ammunition type. In real life, most (if not all) naval artillery is designed to fire different shell types for different purposes. For example, for ship-to-ship engagements, AP shells would be almost universally. For coastal bombardment, the HE shell would be selected, or AP when engaging reinforced bunkers. The "normal" shell in-game might be a compromise between AP and HE shells that have both types' pros and cons. Some of the AA guns featured in the game are designed, in real life, to engage both surface and aerial targets. In-game however, they will only engage enemy planes whenever they get into their firing range. Some auxiliary guns, however, have an anti-air stat that contributes to the overall anti-air capability. When heavily damaged, ships will look like they are burning, but without actual damage over time. This is also a separate effect from the "burning" debuff which does cause damage and has its own graphic.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_b7920c43	comment	Lost in Translation: This trope hits hard, at least in the animated adaptation for Latin American, Brazilian, and Spaniard viewers, in a meta-sense: One of the main reasons why all the ships are depicted as girls, besides cuteness or fanservice-y reasons, is the fact that sea ships, at least in the Anglosphere and some cultures, are normally called with feminine terms. This is not the case in the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking world, where ships are named with the gender of the person to whom the name was given or depending on the gender of the name itself, since Spanish and Portuguese do not have gender-neutral pronouns. In Real Life, ships like the Enterprise, San Diego, Yamato and the like are addressed as "el Enterprise", "el San Diego", "el Yamato", etc, because their names had male-oriented, while the girls named after those ships are addressed with female pronouns. This could be handwaved that those are their birth names, but many people who doesn't know about the game or that cultural tidbit would find the whole thing weird to having a very feminine character with a very masculine name, like those characters.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_c513249	comment	Harder Than Hard: EXTRA stages in major events are available only after clearing the last Hard mode stage. It costs no Oil to play, and there are no trash fleets, for good reason: not only do the EXTRA bosses do enough damage to shred even Stone Wall characters such as Prinz Eugen to ribbons in seconds, but they are also the only fights in the game that follow a certain classic Shoot 'Em Up rule: stat-based Evasion is completely disabled. If a bullet touches you, it does damage, period. And not only do you lack the small centralized hitbox of most Bullet Hell games, but you indeed have up to three rather large hitboxes, two of which are lagging behind you as they follow your point ship's movements. This leads to a completely different style of play from all other content in the game. Evasion equipment (normally very powerful on cruisers) is useless here and HP boosting equipment (almost universally considered great for all frontline ships) becomes woefully inadequate, but all of those Gyroscopes gathering dust in your Depot suddenly become very attractive options to help you weave your way through the bullet patterns. The devs considered this to be such a difficult departure from the rest of the game that they didn't even bother with so much as a Cosmetic Award for beating them for over three years. The "Inverted Orthant" event in December 2020 finally introduced a tangible reward: the first clear of an EXTRA stage awards 500 Cognitive Chips.

Mankind is but a gnat against the threats it's facing. It was getting soundly beaten by the Sirens prior to their leaking access to Wisdom Cube technology, with the strongest Sirens being in-story fleet or country killers, and even then every victory is for naught because the Sirens can just discard the timeline while keeping what they've learnt. Communications from the Sirens are arrogant and mocking at best, enigmatic and inscrutable at worst. Yet despite all these advantages, Siren perspectives imply there's something out there even they can't beat, hence all this tomfoolery to both improve themselves and force mankind to accelerate its technological development rather than simply crushing mankind like a bug.

Granted, their inclusion in the game is part of the collaboration with World of Warships, as such they pretty much can be treated as Wargaming's invention.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_dbd43caa	type	Power Equals Rarity
Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_dbd43caa	comment	Power Equals Rarity: Rather zig-zagging regarding ships. Often, high rarity ships perform better than their lower rarity peers, but with an oil price to match, with some exceptions. On the other hand, some low rarity and common ships can outshine their rare sisters, such as USS Ranger (if RNG favors her then she can theoretically deal near-infinity damage), or be more useful and more cost-effective, like the HMS Leander (a valuable support piece in a cruiser or HMS fleet, even in the end-game) or the USS Cassin and USS Downes (very cheap to use and very resilient due to their self-healing nature), as player should manage their oil supply well if they want to grind their account. Still, a common theme is that purple (Elite) and golden ships (Super Rare) are usually highly appreciated and sought after more than teal (Rare) and gray (Common) ones. Equipment also zigzags this trope. One notable aversion is the Helldiver listed under Disc-One Nuke; the community finally, decisively figured out that the lack of a gold border doesn't stop it from blowing its competition out of the water in raw Dive Bomber power. Several weapons are also competitive with higher rarity ones (such as the purple Twin 120mm Main Gun versus the gold Twin 127mm MK12 Dual Gun) or outright superior to competitors (the best Battleship weapons have been the purple Triple 406mm MK6 Main Gun and the 410mm "Twin" Mounted Gun) until various prototype weapons at higher rarity were released, over a year since the launch of the game, to play the trope straight. Played straight with Retrofits. These power upgrades on ships increase their rarity, so a common Leander gets a teal (rare) border, for example. Some have far more dramatic effects than others, to the point of enabling a refitted common ship to be about on par with a high rarity one. The only exceptions are the more controversial Retrofits that completely change a ship's functionality (such as converting a battleship to a partial carrier) and may make synergies more difficult.

The shipgirls learning the Awful Truth of the fate their Real Life counterparts, and how the same thing would have happened to all of them had the Sirens not intervened? The glorious, three-years-in-the-making return of Bismarck? The fact that the first thing she does upon returning is to dissolve the Crimson Axis and reunite Iron Blood with Azur Lane, officially ending one of the biggest plot points in the entire series, and doing it with all the epicness that such a moment deserves? Or how about the fact that, for the first time, an Elite Siren is Killed Off for Real, and in a rather sad way? One thing is certain: This gameâ€™s story will never be the same after this event.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_e2c4b927	type	Dub Name Change
Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_e2c4b927	comment	Dub Name Change: In the Chinese version, all IJN ship girls are given completely fictional names in Chinese, in order to comply with the letter of Chinese content law. Additionally, all the USN ship girls teased near the end of May 2021 have also been given this treatment, but the Chinese names at the very least make reference to the ship's actual name, or whatever they were named after, rather than being completely random for no rhyme nor reason like the IJN ship girls. USS New Jersey is listed as Garden (èŠ±å›), referencing her namesake state's moniker of "The Garden State". USS Boise is listed as City of Trees (æ ‘åŸŽ), the nickname of her namesake city, named so "when settlers summited a hill, looked down into the Treasure Valley and were astounded by the vast river forest." ("Boise" being the French word for "wooded", although the French word is pronounced differently) USS Ticonderoga is called Carillon (å�¡èŽ‰æ°¸), which was the original name of the ship's namesake fort, prior to it being captured by the British from its French defenders during the Seven Years' War, and subsequently renamed to what it is now. USS San Francisco is called Foggy City (éœ§åŸŽ), referencing how foggy San Francisco can get during the later months of Spring. The Japanese version meddles with the designations for the purple (Elite◊) and gold-colored (Super Rare◊). It drops Super Rare (shortened to S-Rare) down to the purple rarity to allow the gold rarity to be called SS-Rare. The chinese version would join suit later on. This brings the rarity names in line with most other japanese gacha games, which use the same names. All of the non-IJN Meowfficers have their names (based on actual naval staff) altered in the Japanese version, which also made it into the English version. While some of the names are still tangential to the original (eg. The Bismarck-looking Meowfficer is named after Ernst Lindemann, but in JP/EN, it's instead named after Oskar the cat, with one her skills referencing one of Oskar's other names, Sam or Unsinkable Sam.), others are not (There's an Ironblood meowfficer named TOFU!). One of the ships in the fifth PR wave, Harbin, is called Bijiang (æ»¨æ±Ÿ) on the Chinese server. This refers to one of the towns that was annexed into Harbin city proper.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_e4965307	comment	Composite Character: There's hints that kansen are partial composites of all ships that shared the WW2 ship's name. Deutschland's character story concerns the fact that she's a composite of both the name ship of the Deutschland class and the Admiral Hipper class Lutzow, which she was renamed to replace. In the "Parallel Superimposition" event, they released ships that were later incarnations of some ships, including USS Northampton, USS Yorktown, USS Hammann and USS Hornet. The cutscenes implied that these ships were the same shipgirls as previously, just with augmented rigging. However, the game treats them as different ships. (A similar setup was used for the "Muse" idol singer ships). On the other hand, Baltimore gets a line implying that the game's USS Quincy (which is a New Orleans-class cruiser) is a different girl from the Baltimore-class Quincy that fought later in WWII.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_e52a0cac	comment	He Who Must Not Be Seen: The Commander, who represents the player and commands the shipgirls, is never seen in the game even though the menus and VN-style Secretary Quests are from his POV, with the shipgirls directly talking to him. The Commander also manages to be all three variants across the franchise: he is The Voice in questlines where the player can select dialogue options and listens to his thoughts, The Ghost in the 4-koma and story missions where the shipgirls frequently mention the offscreen Commander, and finally The Faceless in the Comic Anthology where he finally appears, only to have the top of his head always obscured. One of Vittorio Veneto's animations with her bikini skin is to casually take a picture of the Commander, and when the photo comes out, it's completely blurred, with the player unable to see his outline or even something resembling a head. That, or the player only sees the back of the photo while Vittorio Veneto is looking at the front. After five years of having no onscreen physical presence, his hands finally make an in-game appearance in 2022, in Taihou's animated schoolgirl skin. While taken in first-person like other skins are assumed to be, this one outright confirms it's the Commander's perspective, as his hands can be seen scrolling through his phone before he runs into the classroom to greet Taihou. His hand also appears◊ in official art featuring Musashi and Brunhilde, where the two shipgirls are in sports uniforms getting doused and wet by the Commander spraying a hose at them. While it's still just his hands, the perspective of the shot and the way Musashi and Brunhilde look up at him indicate that he's rather tall.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_e652089c	type	Artistic License â€“ Ships
Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_e652089c	comment	Artistic License â€“ Ships You can, and will, equip armaments from different nations for any ship, leading to setups like Enterprise armed with Zeroes, for example. However, certain ships have skills that only work with specific equipment (Bataan, Graf Zeppelin, Jean Bart, and King George V all have such skills), typically guns or aircraft unique to their nation. Like in KanColle, a fleet with carriers in the backline should realistically never get in range of enemy shells unless something has Gone Horribly Wrong. It wouldn't be much fun however if all the vanguard had to do is Anti-Air duties. Nevertheless, an update in Dec-28-2020 added a new feature called "Carrier detection" to mimick this real-life situation, in which carriers can only be targeted directly by enemy ships if their detection meter is filled. Of course, stray shells, torpedoes, suicide boats or enemy ships that get past through your vanguard will still damage them like usual. Just like Samuel B. Roberts in both Warship Girls and KanColle, Eldridge (a Cannon-class destroyer escort) is mis-classified as a destroyer, but her stats like her speed reflect the difference. All light cruisers have "Light" armor class, even though a good portion of the USN's post-WNT C Ls have thicker belt armor than heavy cruisers, most of which have "Medium" armor class. For example, the Aoba and Furutaka-class are listed as "Medium" despite having thinner belt armor than pretty much every USN CL starting from the Brooklyn-class. Nevada states that she carried two nukes in her biography. The real USS Nevada didn't even carry one nuke. In actuality, the USS Nevada was hit with two nukes, being one of the old ships used as targets in Operation Crossroads(the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests), and was meant to be the bullseye for the first test, having been painted red to help the bombardier target it (he missed). Impressively, while heavily damaged by the second test, it remained afloat, and even being used as a target for gunnery practice failed to sink it, eventually requiring the use of an aerial torpedo to finally put her down. Of course, this is most likely on purpose, as this Nevada is a living, breathing person, and it would be rather hard to explain why the Eagle Union decided to use her for nuclear target practice. A number of ships appear to have been mixed up with ships with the same name (assuming there isn't some intentional case of Composite Character): Comet is based off of the 1930s C-Class destroyer HMS Comet, pennant number H00. However, she mentions serving in the Far East Fleet and being fitted for mine laying, which H00 never did. HMS Comet, pennant number R26, is the one that served in the Far East Fleet and got fitted for mine laying, and was a destroyer that belonged to the 1943 C-Class, a different class than the 1930 C-Class. Ark Royal says she is the Royal Navy's first purpose built aircraft carrier and served as the prototype for the ones that followed, but she's based on the carrier that fought the Bismarck, HMS Ark Royal, Pennant Number 91 (built and launched in the 1930s), which is a different ship from the HMS Ark Royal that was the Royal Navy's first purpose built carrier (which was built in 1914). As well, the 1914 Ark Royal was the Royal Navy's first purpose-built seaplane carrier, meaning it carried planes that took off and landed on water, deploying and recovering them using cranes. While it was built to be able to launch some wheeled aircraft and did carry some originally, it did not have a proper flight deck and could not recover them, meaning they had to return to an airbase to land. Despite this, they never actually launched any of their wheeled aircraft, and soon replaced them with additional seaplanes. To make this more bizarre, the Royal Navy's actual first purpose-built aircraft carrier is in the game: HMS Hermes, which was also the world's first ship to be designed as an aircraft carrier (though the Japanese Houshou launched and commissioned before her due to construction delays), and they do make several references to her being the first (she's makes mention of it in several lines, she's in the Aviation Vanguard collection alongside the other firsts). That said, despite these goofs, they're also good at introducing historical footnotes that most people would not know. Some equipment in-game also takes some differences from their real life performance. An example would be SB2C Helldiver dive bomber. Its optimum combat capability is 1,000 lbs of bomb load, yet it carries a 2,000 lbs bomb and two 500 lbs bombs, which is its maximum theoretical payload (which accounts both its internal bay and underwing hardpoint capacity at full load. It's possible to fly it in that condition, but it would greatly decrease its combat range in real life). Just Plane Wrong: While this has been largely averted thanks to the accuracy of the carrier-based aircraft in the game, some of the planes included are not listed in their historical (or in the case of "prototypes", intended) role in addition to their operational condition and ordnance. Glaring examples are the two planes included in season 4 research ships, the Nakajima J5N "Tenrai", whose intended role was a fighter-interceptor rather than AP-bomb-carrying dive bombers in the game (not helping with the fact that historical Tenrai was only designed to carry a single 500 lb bomb compared to the Helldiver mentioned above at the same weight class), and the ''BR-21'' rocket launcher modification of the Messerschmitt Bf-109G, which were primarily land-based fighters of the Luftwaffe. Granted, their inclusion in the game is part of the collaboration with World of Warships, as such they pretty much can be treated as Wargaming's invention. Something like a Dub Name Change: In CN and JP clients Kaga identifies herself as a Kaga-class battleship in "Crimson Echoes" B3/D3 preboss cutscene, as per Japanese sources. In EN, however, she calls herself a Tosa-class battleship, as per English sources. Anshan and Chang Chun received retrofits in time for Chinese New Year of 2022 reflecting their steel hull counterparts' Cold War-era missile destroyer modernizations. In-game, however, they are listed as guided-missile destroyers with the requisite DDG hull code, even though, as per Types of Naval Ships, their lack of any sort of surface-to-air missile, much less one with a max range of ten or more nautical miles, should actually disqualify them from having a G on their hull code. The Capitani Romani-class scout cruiser Pompeo Magno is incorrectly depicted as a destroyer. While two of the 4 ships of this class (Pompeo Magno and Giulio Germanico) would be refitted after WWII and redesignated as destroyers (Germanico was in fact completed in DD form, never entering service in her original form, due to the Italians completing her post-war after the ship had been scuttled by the Germans during the war while still under construction), the redesignation has a seperate name (San Giorgio-class destroyer), with Pompeo herself being rechristened as the nameship of this new class. The decision to incorrectly depict her original scout cruiser guise as a destroyer may have been inspired by the appearance of two ships of this class, the incomplete Paulo Emilio (Premium) and the complete Attilio Regolonote Ceded to the French Navy after WWII as part of war reperations, rechristened as ChÃ¢teaurenault (Tech Tree), as Tier 10 destroyers in World of Warships.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_eb7c34cf	comment	Crossover: There's a crossover with the Neptunia series with a few event maps, special furniture, and the ability to get the four main characters and their Goddess/HDD forms from a mix of tasks (Neptune, Vert), and construction (everyone else). Interestingly, it seems that the Neptunia crossover was just the start of their collaboration with Compile Heart and Idea Factory, with both of them being revealed as the developers of Crosswave. There was a mini-event doing a bit of crossing with Armored Trooper VOTOMS, where the amphibious Marshydog AT ends up appearing with the girls having no idea what to do with it; it ends up being the prize at the end (a furniture piece that you can stick a shipgirl into to start it up). This game's Priority Research system is a cross-promotional campaign with World of Warships, as the new ships in said system are based on the latter's high-tier "paper ships"note i.e., ships that were never completed in history or only existed in blueprints. In turn, World of Warships received fully-voiced captains and unique camouflages for certain ships that are also featured in this game. The CN and JP servers had a crossover with Utawarerumono, specifically the latter games, featuring several of the female cast as new ships. There's the long-awaited (for both long-time fans of the game and long-time fans of the character) crossover with Kizuna AI where she ends up in the game world and deals with clones running amok. Players got the original/Destroyer one by logging in (and more from a mini-event), and acquired the other variations from the event build. Following the success of the Kizuna Ai event, November 2019 saw the release of the hololive "Looking Glass of Fact and Fiction" event, which centers around seven of the VTuber agency's (at the time) most popular characters. Its story also references a lot of said group's out-of-character livestreaming shenanigans on YouTube. An event in November 2020 was a crossover with Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation, centering on seven of the female Dead or Alive cast participating in a festival alongside the Kansen so that they can return to their world. The April-May 2023 rerun added two more girls that debuted in Venus Vacation (Luna and Tamaki). An event in June 2021 was a crossover with The Idolmaster, centering on seven of the 765 Pro girls helping out with an Azur Lane concert testing the Muse System while looking for a way home. In the girls' world, it's revealed that they returned from a photoshoot implied to have the same theme as the collab event. An event in November-December 2021 was a crossover with both SSSS.GRIDMAN and SSSS.DYNɅZENON, centering on seven girls from both series finding themselves in a Mirror Sea. An event in November-December 2022 was a crossover with Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy. Six girls from that game (plus one girl from the then-upcoming Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key) find themselves on a light-hearted adventure in a Mirror Sea.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_ecf76ce6	comment	Decapitated Army: Defeat the boss on her node and you complete the map regardless of how many mooks or planes are left, even if they were one more shot away from destroying your vanguard or flagship note However this only applies if at least some other mooks have spawned after the boss is still in the field. In some circumstances it's possible to defeat the boss before the other mooks spawned in, resulting in you having to destroy those mooks too in order to complete the stage. Also applies to the player in PVE, though, as you lose as soon as your flagship is defeated even if there are still healthy members of the backline around. That said, it is downplayed with the player, as the fleet will simply retreat from the battle and reform with its surviving members. It will only be removed from the mission map if the entire vanguard or main fleet is sunk. However, as shown in Kaizo Trap, if your vanguard gets destroyed by a stray shot during the explosion animation, it counts as a defeat on your part.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_ee7a60e9	type	One-Steve Limit
Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_ee7a60e9	comment	One-Steve Limit: Used on the Chinese server in a few cases. Here are some: Let's start with an aversion: HMS Crescent. An alternate meaning for Crescent is New Moon and thus on the Chinese server, she is listed as the direct Chinese translation, æ–°æœˆ. However, that sequence can be read in Japanese as Niizuki, and indeed the Akizuki-class destroyer of that name is featured in the game. However, this trope is averted simply because in the Chinese version, ALL Japanese ships are given fictionalized names in Chinese, while in the Japanese version, Crescent is rendered in katakana. An English version maintenance note actually made this mix up. Neptune and HMS Neptune. In the Chinese version, the former is rendered in Chinese using a transliteration of her name (æ¶…æ™®é¡¿), while the paper ship uses the Chinese translation of the celestial body she's named after (æµ·çŽ‹æ˜Ÿ, Star of Poseidon/Neptune). The Japanese version has their names nearly identical, though both girls' renderings in this version are based on different Japanese pronunciations of the same word (ãƒ�ãƒ—ãƒ†ãƒ¥ãƒ¼ãƒŒ, Ne-pu-tuu-nu) vs (ãƒ�ãƒ—ãƒ�ãƒ¥ãƒ¼ãƒ³, Ne-pu-chuu-n). USS St. Louis, and MN Saint-Louis. In the Chinese version, in order to prevent a name conflict, the French paper ship is, as her name in Chinese, named after the in-game ship's namesake historical figure, Louis IX (è·¯æ˜“ä¹�ä¸–), the real Saint Louis.note Indirectly, this is also the namesake of the American ship; the city of St. Louis, Missouri was founded by Frenchmen and named after King Louis IX. This is unnecessary in either the English version, due to different spelling, or the Japanese version due to different pronunciations of the same historical figure for each ship. Notably, the French ship uses the French pronunciation of her namesake's title (Sant-Luis). Averted with USS Juneau and HMS Juno, as no such measures were taken in the Japanese version, where both of them appear with the same katakana sequence (ã‚¸ãƒ¥ãƒŽãƒ¼). The Chinese version at least makes a distinction by rendering the American cruiser phonetically, and rendering the British destroyer, just like in the case of HMS Neptune, using a direct translation of the Greek deity she's named after. This is lampshaded in one of the trailers for the anime, where both Juneau and Juno appear together in a scene at the very end. It also led to confusion in one of Javelin's English dialog lines, where she talks about going shopping with Juneau, when she was almost certainly meant to be talking about her sister J-class destroyer Juno. The Pallada-class cruiser Aurora is listed in English as Avrora, directly from the Cyrillic for her name, to avoid a name conflict with the Arethusa-class light cruiser HMS Aurora. This is carried over for her entry◊ for the Azur Lane collection in World of Warships, even though the ship itself◊ is listed in-game as Aurora, and while HMS Aurora is also in that game, she appears in her PLAN Huang He◊, and ROCS Chung King guises. The Angel of Iris event in June 2022 includes the Emerald-light cruiser HMS Enterprise as one of the new additions. She is distinguished from USS Enterprise by being listed in-game as "Enterprise (Royal Navy)". The lineup of shipgirls introduced in the December 2022 event "Parallel Superimposition" consist of successor ship classes of existing shipgirls. One example is the Yorktown and Hornet as Yorktown II and Hornet II, representing their Essex-class versions that succeed the Yorktown-class.

All of them besides can be retrofitted and upgraded to endure well into the endgame. The beginner rewards questline gives Portland, a fairly strong Rare heavy cruiser who, like the starters, receives a substantial boost with a retrofit. Prinz Eugen is given as a seven-day-streak log-in reward, and is often a new player's first SR ship as well as a strong heavy cruiser for diversity. She isn't that offensively strong, but she's an utter cockroach, and is able to survive a player making a lot of dumb newbie mistakes that would get other ships killed. Saratoga can also count for many players, as she's a reward for purchasing Gems for the first time. While that might make her seem like Bribing Your Way to Victory, even the $0.99 pack counts. Needless to say, one buck barely even registers on most people's pay-to-win radar, and she's a very common pickup, especially since she's also extremely useful. While the prior examples are strong ships throughout the game, the cheaper variant of this trope occurs with two Rare-rarity ships. In all three versions, Long Island is your starting backline ship and Repulse is one of your first battleships (actually a battlecruiser) as a very early quest reward, with both functioning as Crutch Character backline ships.

Prinz Eugen is a prime example of this as she has HP that rivals Battleships but her offensive stats are rather low for a SR/SSR.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4	type	Video Game Cruelty Potential
Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4	comment	Video Game Cruelty Potential: For intentional comedy or otherwise, destroyers are mostly little girls, from kindergarten kids like the Mutsuki sisters to other elementary students, and are among the youngest girls in the entire base (though some seem to be early/mid-teens, this doesn't make it any better). They fight exclusively on the front line, serving as the vanguard along with light and heavy cruisers, bearing all damage before "it comes to backline". The fact that in real life, destroyers and other escort ships often had to partake on the most dangerous naval missions, such as patrolling, screening capital ships, escorting, fighting against submarines, bombarding coastal defense, etc... doesn't make things look any lighter. Negative affinity does exist for those who truly despise certain ships. Players can repeatedly send her into battles to decrease her mood, give her poor or no equipment, make her the only vanguard (or backline) ship and take all the damage, and get her sunk more often to decrease her affinity. This is especially horribly cruel on those who were already suffering mental trauma like Helena, Arizone or Yorktown, who otherwise should not suffer anymore abusement. One must be an extreme sadist to do that to those girls. Suicide boats utilize Manjuus as pilots, if you consider those birds organic creature.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_f89f164a	type	Purposely Overpowered
Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_f89f164a	comment	Purposely Overpowered: With the sole exception of Izumo, Priority Research shipgirls have incredible stats and skills, including one that gives them damage bonuses against Sirens, who make up many of the most powerful bosses. This comes at the cost of needing weeks to months to grind up the EXP needed to unlock them, and likely even more time to acquire the blueprints needed to bring out their full power. Portland's retrofit boosts her stats by a ridiculous amount - the developers want to make sure a good heavy cruiser is available for everyone. Centaur would apply, as she's a ship that was designed at the end of the war to be cutting-edge. While in reality she was behind the times by the time of her completion (the 1950s, where carrier tech had advanced dramatically), this game puts her in the heat of WW2 where she is indeed ahead of most others. Unicorn's retrofit turns her into possibly the best healer in the game (after the event-exclusive debut of Perseus dethroned her for a good while). This was done so that even newer players have a good enough healer to help them clear later Chapters.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_f994d95c	type	RandomDrops
Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_f994d95c	comment	Random Drops: As a gacha game, everything is pretty much set up this way. It's a little more forgiving than average: There is a traditional gacha currency in the form of Wisdom Cubes (which is given generously on a daily basis) to build new ships from a giant pool. The typical rate is 7% for a Super Rare ship, 12% for an Elite, 51% for a Rare, and 30% for a Common. The maps in which combat take place also have a chance to drop ships, equipment, and other resources. A good plurality of ships are available without even touching the build menu. There are even several ships, including some SR ones, that are obtained only from drops in maps. The extreme end include Akagi, Kaga, Yudachi, Maya, and Choukai, who are obtainable from a single map each with user-polled rates of 0.75% per attempt. This even extends to most events with similar high-rarity ships and occasionally low-rate low-rarity ships like Fiji. To downplay this trope, there are two types of Bulin ships that aren't intended to be used for battle, but are usable in place of a copy of the same ship to Limit Break and increase the Level Cap and stats. Several Bulins are given every week as part of simple Play Every Day quests, with additional purchasable supplies in the Merit Shop (daily) and Medal Exchange (weekly), no randomness required. Several ships, including SRs such as Warspite and Takao, are also purchasable through the Medal Exchange to bypass the randomness factor. Finally, the Priority ships, which are among the most powerful in the game, zigzag this trope. The ships themselves aren't random; players must complete a sequence of specific and very grindy tasks in order to obtain each one. On the other hand, unlocking their full power requires blueprint items that can't always be obtained in a "guaranteed" manner.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_fd4f8299	comment	Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Sirens and whoever is behind them. Despite being the scourge that invaded most of the sea and kickstarted the entire plot, The siren bosses are usually hardly hostile in dialogue, but rather, indifferent. In their cutscenes, they appearantly do not consider the human alliance as their enemy, but as collections of experimental subjects across numerous parallel universes, subjects they are trying to force "evolution" upon in order to contend with some unmentioned Greater-Scope Villain. And in their view, "evolution" entails sacrifice in the form of war and strife, and therefore they pose themselves as the enemy of mankind in order to force them (and their ship girls) to evolve. Case in point, they are also the source of the mysterious Wisdom Cubes that spawned the ship girls, our main arsenal againt them, in the first place.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_fe262584	comment	Cutscene Power to the Max: Some of the strongest Sirens are said in story text to be One-Man Army or Person of Mass Destruction that can do things like destroying whole fleets or threatening to destroy entire countries. While such bosses' EX or SP stage incarnations are the sort of thing Commanders will indeed need optimised, fully-leveled shipgirl compositions with fully-upgraded gear to deal with, it's still a far cry from the sort of thing the story claims they're capable of. The climax battle of Operation Siren Chapter 5 is basically this with rotating Main and Vanguard fleets as you whittle down the Arbiters, including teaming up with a pair of METAs, whom at that point of the story had not joined your fleet yet. The final fight against "Compiler" during "Rondo at Rainbow's End" features a similar mechanic as the fight listed above, with fleets constantly rotating as you whittle down "Compiler"'s HP.

Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
Azur Lane (Video Game) / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: Despite being a game well known for its fanservice, it contains a lot of historical accuracies, in many cases as Historical In-Jokes, be it something as small as Hood having failing eyesight, which is a nod to Hood mistaking Prinz Eugen for Bismarck in their fated encounter on the Denmark Strait, to whole Battles like in stage 3 - Battle of Midway - where the order of the flagships matches the historical records in which the Japanese carrier fleet was sunk (Kaga, Akagi, Soryu and Hiryu) and, of course, Yorktown's demise at the end of said stage. That said, they've also committed quite some goofs, as seen in the Artistic License entry near the top of the page. Even some of the commission names get in on this. One potential one in the English version is "BIW Gear Transport". BIW is a common initialism of Bath Iron Works, a famous shipbuilder in the US, considered to be one of the best American shipbuilders during the Second World War, who have built a huge number of ships for the US Navy, primarily destroyers. The Beaver Squad respects the origin of the destroyer squadron's true nickname (the Little Beavers, referencing the Native American character Little Beaver in the Red Ryder comic strips) with a featured cap similar to those found in a war bonnet. Of course, a literal beaver is cuter as a logo for the in-game unlockable item than an angry man with a bow, who is the squadron's true mascot. Some English players were unhappy with Z23's party skin dialogue talking about apple juice when the Chinese and Japanese line, and even the Japanese voiced dialogue, says orange and the concept art◊ shows censored Fanta. However, wartime Fanta was indeed made with apple, so the English version was actually more accurate... until said line was seen as a typo and corrected back to orange. Slow Ahead does this for both how characters are portrayed (often taking nods from their character stories or details from their lines) as well as a few additional nods to history/ship traits. Examples include North Carolina seeing I-19 (the crew of both ships wound up on friendly terms after the war) and Kaga easily handling the sauna (a nod to how hot the ship can get in a number of places).
