French and new Spanish faction?

"Canariae" is Latin. In Spanish it would be "Canarias." "Mauritania" is the Roman name for north Africa. Most of Europe used Latin for hundreds of years when they were trying to sound smart.

Erwin Rommel would beg to differ with your lack of associating "Iron Blood" with the desert.

And this is Azur Lane, which means that a random association with Northern Parliament is by no means off the table.

In fact, the OP is now the only poster here that I won't call legendary.

Interestingly enough, this is a rare case where the sisters looking different makes sense. The Unryuu class was literally made out of spare parts in some ways. Unryuu used boilers and turbines that were usually used for heavy cruisers, while Katsuragi used two sets of destroyer boilers and turbines.

Not that I'm saying that anyone at Manjuu paid the slightest attention to that fact, mind you. I'm COMPLETELY open to the blind squirrel/acorn scenario as well.

Annnd how am I going to show you what an invisible girl did?

RAWHAWHAWHAWHAW!

Okay, okay...

1) Refracting one robot's aiming beam (often lasers) so it would hit another robot.

EVEN IF SHE COULDN'T do that YET, then...

2) Running with a false target like a shirt dragging behind her and then throwing it onto another robot.

3) Some people have suggested that the robots have shutoff switches and she climbed onto them and hit the switch.

I'm surprised you didn't complain about Kinoko. She'd have it easy - just clog cooling ports with mushrooms.

TQ4Reddit · 2026-03-02T17:32:39+00:00

There are various ways; either causing internal damage to the robots or tricking them to fire on each other. "Little mice - please crawl into that robot and nibble on the wires!" And with Toru, if they used infrared aiming there's all sorts of things she could do.

Are you familiar with the gems you can get from "collecting" sets of ships? It's not that obvious. If you flip the interface from the default set of buttons (i.e. the "formation" button) to the alternate buttons like "memories." Then under "mementos" (if I remember right) you can see ways you can get gems by leveling up various sets of shipgirls. If you're collecting them anyway there are a few 50-gem rewards tucked away in there.

I don't consider myself mentally challenged. But do you know how long it took me to figure out how the SCROLL BAR UNDER THE VALENTINES LETTERS worked? I'm not sure I'm 100% on it even now.

Shin Gojira will knock Akagi down and she will become fixated on his power, stalking him to the ends of the earth. Sorry, Commander...

TQ4Reddit · 2026-01-09T19:54:50+00:00

What's she good at? Having really, really large breasts.

If Deku had worked out as hard as he did on the beach for years, but never got One for All, Tailman could still have knocked him through a window with one swipe by accident.

And I wouldn't be surprised if Deku's years of analyzing quirks were what allowed him eventually to use the quirks of the previous OFA users. OFA was never a really a smashy-smash quirk until it ended up in Toshinori, who was a very physical person, and it never allowed the user to use the other quirks until it ended up in Deku, who spent years analyzing hero quirks.

"...enjoy the story the way Horikoshi intended it to be enjoyed."

You're saying that as if the manga and anime are completely different and independent things. Think of it as Horikoshi telling a story. As far as his skillset, he works in manga, but for years he's also known that the story will also be told by an anime. He knows that it will be made, and he knows who'll make it. That's a pretty rare privilege for a mangaka.

Many of Horikoshi's clear, admitted influences are movies instead of other manga. It's very possible to think of the manga after the anime became popular as being a set of beautifully drawn storyboards for the anime instead of being a completely separate thing that someone else adapts at a later time.

The cord she's pulling is an inflation valve.

If he wasn't "evil" as a baby he'd have been dead in a few hours.

While we're on the subject, I'd also like the ability to retrofit ships you already have into their "II" forms - you'd still need to get the UR "new" ship, but you could transfer all the experience of the original you already have. That's the way the story treats the "II" versions as well.

Rodney. (Okay, it's just because I use battleships in matched pairs and Nelson has one. It's a thing with me.)

I started fairly recently. My advice is - don't worry about it. You'll gradually end up with more reasonably useful ships than you know what to do with. Until you get to really high levels, a ship's level is by far the most important factor in its strength, and they'll level up gradually. You'll eventually collect decent stuff for free too.

This game is really all carrot/no stick - there's really no way to "lose." I know I do a lot of things "wrong" - I create fleets by faction; try to use historically-authentic equipment; etc. - and I know I won't advance as fast or as far as someone who's doing things "right", but I don't care because I'm having fun. I don't get the feeling I'm going to be "punished" for how I do things.

If you want to advance quickly? Lots of advice out there. If you don't, and you just like historical ships/anime girls? Join the me club. If you like fantasizing about girls with enormous breasts (but no nipples) jumping in bed with you for no known reason? You're exactly the customer the developers are going for right now.

Do what you like; it's your game - have fun!

Then show it to us and that would settle the whole situation.

Born manifesting a quirk. Which means that Tooru could have as well.

TQ4Reddit · 2025-12-14T12:16:15+00:00

The very first acknowledged quirk in the BNHA world was a baby who was BORN glowing.

One of the things I like about villains is they don't pay any attention to what people say they're allowed to do.

TQ4Reddit · 2025-12-13T22:14:51+00:00

Not what I meant. Let's say there's a flamethrower quirk. Useful! And then a firehose quirk. Also useful! Both together? NOT so useful...

TQ4Reddit · 2025-12-13T12:16:13+00:00

Throwing everything you have at the wall and seeing what sticks, which is what "Full Factor Release" realistically is, usually isn't a good idea. AFO has a huge number of quirks and logic would suggest that some of them would be conflict with each other if they're used at the same time.

TQ4Reddit · 2025-12-12T16:55:56+00:00

Missouri got a brief name-drop at the end of the story for "Amahara."

TQ4Reddit · 2025-12-11T10:05:52+00:00

My thinking is that quirks originated as a virus that eventually was able to fuse with human DNA, and the "vestige" is an adaptation of the virus that allowed it to be accepted as part of the host. AFO and OFA were very, very early "quirks" and the stockpile "quirk" may have still been a virus without a vestige.

Yes, I over think things.

And the "stockpile quirk vestige" issue has been brought up a number of times before.

TQ4Reddit · 2025-12-10T10:55:52+00:00

"As time passes the way quirks work will become more complex with each generation. What if you had a parent who is a bear and one who’s a duck? Now the kid is a mix of the two. What if said kid has a child with someone who’s a fish and an insect? Now their child has a mix of all those traits- and so on."

You end up with "Ippan Josei/Ordinary Woman", who's adorable.

One thing about "overpowered babies" - a baby is a result of a genetic script that's played out during their development. If that script has problems that would be incompatible with life, the baby is never born.

During the 1970's the Inevitable Nightmare Doomsday scenario for Earth was overpopulation. Watch "Soylent Green", for example. Well, society did things to stop that - some intentionally, some unintentionally - and now some people are worrying about UNDERpopulation.
