The opening theme is "Dawn of Freedom" by Saori Hayami (JP VA of ultra rare IJN desteoyer Shimakaze). It is not on her Spotify profile, however. There might be a video on YT in the full version if this opening to AL:C isn't.

IJN Musashi revealed as the Sakura Empire’s next UR ship in the upcoming event celebrating 5 years anniversary of Azur Lane release in Japan.

With this:

1) Called it with next UR being Musashi.

2) Called it with Musashi being a mega fluffy kitsune babe.

3) Art by Dishwasher - FTW. Haters gonna hate.

Cherry Blossom Battle Ax

The latest Azur Lane update is wonky as f*ck. Like, it’s not bad, mostly Quality of Life stuff, not a major event, but I'd be lying if i said this didn’t feel like filler to me. I do enjoy the addition of Swirling Cherry Blossoms in War Archives. I genuinely like Noshiro so having the opportunity to unlock her without burning Cubes or wasting a Wish, is pretty dope. The Rising of the Ship Heroes mini event was fun. You didn’t really get to do anything but i liked the old school game feel. Plus, the new costumes for the Starters are adorable. I am particularly fond of Laffey and Z23′s new outfits. Manjuu also dropped a brand new Iron Blood boat; Little Spee.

Baby Spee is a point accumulation reward. I don’t know how these Pursuit thing work, I've never really paid attention, but i do know you can immediately equip her as an NPC, send her into battle, and stock up on Trust Points. Oddly enough, she’s locked between not only the Points wall, but a time lock as well. You need to get a total of one thousand points in order to actually have her added to your dock permanently, but that’s not even an option until, like, the nineteenth? Bro, i was able to get those points day one, strictly based on my EXP grind. I’m working toward banking enough EXP for my Elite Iron Blood ships, already finished for my UR and SR boats, so just doing my daily was enough to secure Lil’ Spee. Little Spee was a bonus in a lot of ways because, the gem for me this update was the inclusion of the new ships purchasable in the Merit shop, one of which is actually a huge favorite of mine.

Imagine my surprise when i was reading through the Patch Notes and came across the new additions, Hibiki and Kinu. I already have a Hibiki but not Kinu and i f*cking NEEDED her! Kinu, Shimakaze, and Akagi are my unicorns for the Sakura Empire so actually having the opportunity to grab one is everything. And grab one i did. It took a few days, and A LOT of shop refreshes, but i was able to purchase my darling Kinu this morning and immediately went to work. I had a ton of EXP packs banked up and blew through them, not all but a lot, in order to level her all the way to 120, obviously Awakening along the way. I had more than enough Universal Bulins to, not only fully Limit Break her, but also complete that Retrofit in one go. This gave me enough milestones to actually complete her Memory, too. Well, almost fully. That’s right, within half an hour of unlocking Kinu, i was able to max her out fully. I still need to raise that Affection level and finish learning her all of her Abilities but she is all but complete at this point. All that’ left is the grind and i am all about that anyway so it’s whatever. All i know is, another of my favorite Nihon girls is in my dock and i feel pretty good about that.

Overall, i am pretty happy with this update. It’s not my goddamn Orthant Rerun but that’s okay. That one will come in time and I'll get my missing Iron Blood girls. In the meantime, i am not mad adding a new Kraut boat here and there, or interacting with little fun moments like the Ship Heroes event. Those costumes are dope and i love anytime we add a mini-event to the war Archives. This sh*t is a wild frustration for me because The Enigma and the Shark (the mini event whee you unlock the only other KMS boat i don’t have, U-110) might, eventually, find it’s way there. The reality is wildly more frustrating because that sh*t is already available in the Archive, just on JP/CN servers. It’s like Manjuu is blue-balling me on purpose! That disappointing reality aside, I was able to finally add Kinu to my dock and that, in of itself, is a boon. Kind of wish there was more to do but, what we got, is actually pretty satisfying.

Jintsuu! Welcome to the Fleet!

Iron Blood and Sakura are currently engaged in joint maneuvers to culminate in an LFX at the end of the month. Training Fleets are already established, so you’re out of luck to see some action at the moment. Kaga is still running the Sakura Armory, so head down there in the morning to get your rigging calibrated and serviced. Ibuki will show you around Port and Azuma is now in charge of the Dorms. She’ll get you set up with a room.

You’ll be exempt from Physical Training until you get in-processed. Standing orders from Musashi.

Priority Research 6 Predictions - Sakura Empire

I would love a Sakura Empire PR for PR6 but they don't have that many options :/ However, I am going to present the most likely to y'all. This is the last PR6 prediction post, to check the others you can see the #priority research tag because I posted them all with that tag.

As always: Do not treat any of the following choices as guaranteed. I would not bet money on any of these specific ones getting added as part of PR6 this year, it's just the ships I see as Very LikelyTM.

Hizen

Honestly, the most unlikely. She's a bigger Izumo, and in terms of gameplay she is just a bigger Izumo and nothing else.

Her reload time is atrocious at 38 seconds for kind of good 410mm guns, but Izumo is free and Hizen costed money.

And you can't even get Hizen anymore.

Iwami

A strange battlecruiser, Iwami may look a lot like Hizen and that's because they're based on the same pre-Yamato designs. However, Iwami has a total of 4 cannons less in exchange of slightly better accuracy and a reload that's 10 seconds faster than Hizen's.

She also has Shimakazo torpedoes - 2 launchers at the rear with 4 torps each, and they have 20km range with ludicrous damage. The problem is that it's the 20km Shima torpedoes, which can be outrun by some ships and can also be spotted from the Moon.

Iwami also has another gimmick: half-decent secondaries. Kii at Tier 8 has better secondaries, imho, but Iwami's can be fun.

She would be PR.

Daisen

I haven't read much on Daisen yet, but from her stats, she's a fast little battlecruiser with incredibly bad armor, mediocre secondaries, very good main guns and 8 torpedoes per side. Those torpedoes do 20k damage each and have a 10km range, meaning she's no joke.

I don't know if she is PR or DR material, but I think she fits as a PR. Besides, unlike Iwami, she's very different from Izumo; meaning she wouldn't step on Izumo that much - which is my main concern.

Shikishima

The USS Georgia of the Yamato-class, Shikishima is the same hull as Yamato with somewhat better secondaries and six 510mm guns instead of 9 460mm guns. She's more accurate and reloads faster than Yamato, meaning that sticking Isoroku Yamamoto on this baby is very fun due to his buffs.

However, unlike Georgia, she would be a DR. A very powerful DR that would 'powercreep' (if you believe that thing exists in AL) most other UR BBs until Yamato comes out.

I imagine Shikishima being the weird one of the Yamato family. She would be a stealthy assassin, who kills her enemies from within the shadows. Mainly because that's how she is in the Tegarrian Lore (@tegarrianlore) lol.

Yoshino

Honestly, Yoshino feels unlikely. She is, effectively, a bigger Azuma with 8 Shimakaze torpedoes per side. Her gimmick is that she has excellent 310mm HE shells but also has access to anti-camping 20km torpedoes.

However, if Yoshino gets added, she would be DR. Which makes me feel she's even more unlikely.

Shimanto

Takahashi

I group these 2 together as equally likely because they are the new additions to the Japanese tech tree - the Tier 8 and Tier 9 light cruisers - and both suck.

I enjoy the freemium Tokachi at Tier 7, as she's a Furutaka with 127mm guns and that HE spamming is fun, but these other cruisers with bigger 155mm guns simply aren't worth it.

However, we know their performance in WoWs doesn't mean shit for Azur Lane. The best example imho is FdG, who is just plain old bad in WoWs but is a murderhouse in AL. I believe they could be fun, little HE spammers in AL that have massive torpedo-buffing abilities, to both themselves and the whole fleet.

Hayate

A unique (for Japan's standards) destroyer that has both good guns and good torpedoes. They normally excell only at guns (Kitakaze) or only at torpedoes (Shimakaze) - Hayate is good with both.

However, in AL she could be the DR gunboat equivalent to Shimakaze's excellent torpedo perfomance. The Death by Thousand Cuts of AL.

BONUS - MOST UNLIKELY

Tokachi

As stated above, she is a Furutaka with destroyer guns. They reload incredibly slowly at 7 seconds between shots, but most of her turrets can spin 360º and do so incredibly quickly.

The problem is Tokachi is Tier 7. We have not gotten any Tier 7 or lower PR and I doubt Tokachi will be the first one.

Ashitaka

There is a saying within the WoWs community, "you can't say Ashitaka without saying shit".

She's bad. Attrociously bad. Absolute girlfailure.

A Tier 7 version of Amagi, she has worse guns, worse accuracy, worse shells, no armor, and worse health. With Kii being an option, and Amagi being researchable, there is genuinely no reason for Ashitaka to be in the game.

Eclipse of my Heart

Man, it feels good to have the Gacha gods back on my side! And it also feels good to have a brand new UR in my fleet; And a Vanguard at that! I definitely need as many goddamn Rainbow Vanguards as I can get because having only San Diego as an option is killing my soul. If you can’t tell what I’m talking about, Azur Lane finally delivered some new Sakura Empire content worth my while. That’s right, there is kind of a pseudo Summer Event tied into whatever the f*ck Effulgence Before Eclipse is supposed to be. Not gonna lie, this new Event feels a little light on content. I mean, there are only five new ships, one of which is a Point Reward and the pother is a Shop item. I feel like, in the past, there were substantially more. Maybe that’s just wishful thinking with the absolute Iron Blood bonanza last year. Still, this year has been a desert for new content, even if I was able to secure myself a New Jersey on the Rerun. Getting a new Event with a UR tagged to the banner has been a real treat and you know I made my run!

In all honesty, I was more into popping Owari the most. I have a thing for that busty, dark skinned, anime girl trope and Owari is right in line for that. The second that update was complete, I hit the Banner with the force of a thousand exploding suns! Interestingly enough, the first ship I popped, on my second roll no less, was Owari! At that point, I had achieved my primary goal and figured, what the hell? I was going to give myself the leeway to burn through about one hundred of my Cube stash chasing the Ultra Rare, Unzen. Any more than that and I had a decision to make. Mostly because I’d probably end up having to open my wallet for more cubed, only had one hundred and sixty at that point, so it felt a little tight. More than that, my average to UR is around sixty-five cubes so that hundred felt acceptable. I was already twenty so I kept going. Literally on the next two attempts, I popped Hatsuzuki (who happens to be the Shop Ship so that was a wash) and Natori, the only Elite ship on the Banner. Seriously, two Super Rares, and Ultra, and an Elite is a very nice mix but I still need that elusive Rainbow. I needed Unzen. It took me four more rolls. Another forty Wisdom Cubes but I finally popped myself Unzen, completing the Banner ship quest! It took me eighty Cubes overall, but I popped every new ship available, even grabbing enough dupes of Owari and Natori to Limit Break both of them three times. I legit cleaned up AND came in under budget. All in all, I am damn pleased. All that’s left is Asanagi but she’s the Point ship. I’ll pop her just grinding my way through the Event maps, looking for those precious Priority Six Blueprints.

Speaking of Priority Six, I just recently finished constructing Kearsarge. Outside of the two Iron Blood offering, she was the only other ship I felt worthy of the grind. Constructing her felt like it went a lot faster than building up her sister P6 Rainbow, Hindenburg, but she was a labor of love. Felix Schultz, less so but if I’m being honest, I still kind of love her, too. She has shades of Meltryllis from Fate/Grand Order, and we all know how much I love me some Sakurafaces! Also, Prinz Rupprecht has a Fate Simulation? I ain’t even know that! He was already one of my favorites and now she is even more powerful! I’m so glad I grinded out tall those Blueprints beforehand. There is very little more satisfying than seeing that development bar flash to full in a matter of seconds instead of who knows how long. Even Chkalov got some of that bonus level love. A little bummed my Priority Four girls haven’t got any of the Fate love but this Event has given me a pretty fantastic costume for Hakuryuu. Flash of Silk and Strings can give Golden Dragon Under Aegir’s Auspicious Clouds, Taihou’s Sweet Time After School, Rupprecht’s The Gate Dragon’s Advent, and Regensberg’s Dark Dragon, Brilliant Beach, a run for their money as my favorite costume. All in all, I am very pleased with this event. I kind of fibbed a little bit in the beginning of this post, I actually have enough UR ships to field an entire Vanguard of Rainbows, without San Diego even. I have, currently, running for the grind, Aegir (who is complete and maxed out at all possible levels), Hindenberg, and Unzen who, through the magic of T1 EXP Packs, is already at level eighty-eight! I have my choice of Main Fleet option, f*cking lousy with Rainbow Main Fleet options, but I am mad content otherwise. Now all I need is a Shimakaze Rerun and I’ll be satisfied. It’s borderline frustrating that I’m missing just one of the Japanese Rainbows. It chaffs the completionist in me like you wouldn’t believe.
