Ship Name: Shigure Kai Ni (Third Remodel) Library No: 561 Class: 2nd Shiratsuyu-class Destroyer (Remodeled) Ship Type: Destroyer CV: Yumi Tanibe Artist: Ichiso Kujo Appearance: Unlike her Kai Ni form, which strongly retained the look of the early Shiratsuyu-class uniforms, her Kai Ni form features a bold sleeveless design. It also incorporates "white" into the color scheme, similar to Samidare, Suzukaze, Umikaze, Yamakaze, and Kawakaze. While the design has become more daring, the main battery mounted on her back remains, serving as a reminder of her pre-remodel days. In the anime "Itsuka Ano Umi de," she wears an additional jacket, making the uniform design slightly different (the sleeveless game version also makes a brief appearance). Since the jacket appeared in the March illustration of the 2023 KanColle Official Calendar drawn by Ichiso Kujo, it wasn't strictly an anime-only setting. However, because her appearance in the final episode's epilogue was also shown, it was unclear for a while if the jacket would exist in the game version. Later, she began wearing the jacket in Autumn/Winter mode, confirming its existence in the game's timeline. ...Though it's better than being sleeveless, the jacket itself has short sleeves, so it's a secret that she doesn't actually look that warm. Incidentally, when Yumi Tanibe cosplays as Shigure Kai Ni at real-life events, she often wears the anime version with the jacket. (During the Ship Girl Ondo festival on the second day of "Operation MAIZURU Expedition 2023," she wore a happi coat instead of the jacket; when she took it off to show the costume, it was revealed she was wearing the game version underneath.) Overview/Details: This is Shigure's form beyond Kai Ni, which was teased as a "Third Remodel" in a June 2019 interview in Comptiq magazine. At the time of the announcement, it was unknown if it would be anime-exclusive or implemented in the browser game. However, at the "New Year SHIGURE Live! 2023" held on January 3, 2023, it was announced that she would be officially implemented as [Shigure Kai Ni]. She became the first ship girl to officially bear the "Kai Ni" (Third Remodel) title, which had previously been a slang term among Admirals. Prior to the browser implementation, her appearance was revealed in the 7th episode of the anime's 2nd season, the CD jackets for the OP/ED themes, and the 2023 official calendar. She was officially implemented in the game update on June 14, 2023. As a formal Third Remodel, the required level is Lv97. Furthermore, it consumes 2 Remodel Blueprints, 3 New Model Armament Materials, 2 Action Reports, and 77 Development Materials. Personality: In her fleet organization voice line, she clearly states, "Shigure of Sasebo, heading out!" In her sortie line, she says, "Destroyer Shigure, 2nd Destroyer Squadron. Sortieing." When winning MVP, she says, "This victory... my own strength was truly a small part of it. It's thanks to this rain... and yes, the Admiral, and everyone else. Thank you." While she previously only thanked the Admiral up to her Kai Ni form, she now acknowledges her comrades as well. Although the core of her dialogue remains the same, new lines have been added after her existing ones, such as "It's a good rain, isn't it?" with a slight pause, or her night battle line: "I'm disappointed in you all. ...I won't let you!" Her moderately damaged line, which previously emphasized an almost unnatural level of confidence, has been toned down to: "To think they could do this to me... but I won't lose. I can still, still keep going!" Her record viewing voice line has changed significantly: "Admiral, a letter has arrived. May I open it? ...Ah, sorry. It was the latest fleet intelligence. Here you go." Additionally, the furniture item "Shigure's Personal Shelf" implemented at the same time contains torpedoes, machine guns, and her Kai Ni uniform. Because there are almost no personal items, it has been pointed out that it lacks a sense of daily life. On the other hand, she keeps a hair ornament given to her by Yamashiro, and it was revealed that she also treasures the wooden box Yamashiro gave her when they parted in the anime. Furthermore, according to the description of "Shigure's Mandarin Orange Window," it seems mandarin oranges have officially become her favorite food. Also, with the implementation of Shiratsuyu's hourly lines, it was revealed that Shigure used to be a bad cook. According to Shiratsuyu, "Because back then, she was so..." but it seems Yamashiro taught her how to cook and the issue was successfully resolved. In this world: She has grown "that thing" on her lower body.
