KanColle - Episode 7 Discussion / Poll

[The Green One]

Guess all of Fubuki's level grinding is paying off, shooting out that enemy's eye was quite impressive. It was heartwarming seeing how her squad trusts her too.

Wait, so did that girl get sunk?

ppl should really read what the text says...it only said severely damaged not sunk

[The Green One]

Obviously not since she was clearly fine in the final scene with the squad.....

[Saint X]

The Archer carriers really need to learn from Lars Andersen on how to launch their planes.

I can fuckin read, but we heard nothing of her after that. What are we supposed to think?

I'm talking about Shouhou, not Shoukaku.

Been reading that four times before it sank in my mind.

My brain isn't what it used to be...or I'm just too sleepy.

Gotta appraise Fubuki this episode. She was badass the way she hit that Abyssal right in the eye that I keep watching it again and again.

One thing that shows this cannot be historical, Coral Sea was the first all carrier battle. The ships never encountered each other, just the planes did the work.

But that's what the show been doing. It has lots of historical references but don't follow history to a T.

She was badly damaged and set on fire. IIRC we know nothing else at this point.

I would expect that all possible efforts were made / are being made by Shouhou and her team mates to extinguish the blaze and get her to port. (Good navies expend all effort to save their ships if at all possible). Hopefully next episode we will be told she's made it safely to harbor somewhere, even if its not her home base.


I find myself becoming a Zuikaku fan! And I noticed her eyes are the same as Kaga's. I do hope they develop a good relationship.

Loved the plane landing on the flight deck! They don't use arrestor gear, apparently. (Or did I miss that?)

[Miraluka]

Yamato for next episode...


I don't know but that admiral must be rich or saving a lot for Hotel-chan.


I wonder if the staff will use the marriage system

Oh the chaos in the naval base... .

[Master_Yoma]

Fubuki really have come so far

[cloud04]

doubt the marriage system, although the likely candidate would be kongou w/ her being at kai ni already although idk at what level would 1st div would be along w/ nagato and mutsu too

It did catch a wire.

[Eisdrache]

The pilots of the planes continue to be adorable.

Operation MO doesn't seem to be finished yet. I'd be disappointed if all we get next episode is the aftermath.

Also Yamato's voice sounds wrong but maybe that's just me.

By the way when Zui/Shoukaku came out of the scowl, that abyssal shot down their planes easily (RIP). What type was that?

[SaintessHeart]

It is official. Kaga is the ultimate lesbian of the fleet.

She has made :

Akagi
Zuikaku
Shoukaku
Kitakami
Ooi

her bitches. And there is many more to come.

They might be capable of bearing a grudge too methinks. When the Flagship Wo was glaring at the kanmusu revealing her injured eye, the camera focused on Fubuki for a while. I won't be surprised if she has marked Fubuki for revenge

In Kancolle now we can be pretty sure that this newest experience will increase the teitoku's suspicions about the inadequacy of their encryption, so perhaps we won't get to see a Midway-like disaster.

It would be interesting if the Naval Base would turn this knowledge (that the Abyssals are listening in to their chitchats) into their advantage, say by laying out a trap with deliberate false messages. This is what Midway would have been if Yamamoto had his way: a trap to lure and destroy the main threat. Except that in that case the Japanese left too much in the hands of Lady Luck and gave the Americans, who had already learnt of their plans, the chance to turn the tables on them.

The cranes have to fire their arrows into the wind as did their ship counterparts. This affects their course and headings. You see this being explicitly discussed in the episode.

Fubuki Ganbarimasu mentioned something similar in the Base Sports Meet arc too. IIRC the runways on Japanese carriers weren't long enough and the IJN planes have to use the wind created by the ships moving forth to take flight

Or they would work on puzzles and other games =3

Every time we see Akagi-san in the tub, she's always doing something new: bubble wrap, towel art (Kaga actually but she was the one who taught Kaga how), puzzles and this time string figures =3

Holy cow, so it did =O. Gotta love this attention to details =3
