Added DiffLines:
* ArtEvolution: Arguably the most drastic in the game and the least surprising given their source material. Early Ironblood shipgirl designs were relatively consistent with those of the rest of the game: outfits inspired by the military or country of origin, and rigging that, shark faces aside, looked like actual ship components. Around the time of the release of ships like Roon and Friedrich Der Große, you begin to see a shift in the design language. Most modern Ironblood ships have rigging that looks less like ship parts and more like some sort of monster or sea serpent that they fight alongside, color pallettes have been pared down to red, white, and black with occassional dark navy and silver highlights, and most uniforms will either be much more heavily stylized (in the case of military-adjacent ones) or draw more inspiration from goth, BDSM, and mythological references. It can be especially noticable when you compare either ships from the same class that had a significant release gap (Leipzig and Nürnberg) or ships who get retrofits/alternate version ships (Bismarck and Bismarck Zwei).

Representing the ''Kriegsmarine''[=/=]Nazi Germany Navy, the Ironblood is a member of the "Crimson Axis" alliance with the Sakura Empire, and they have the least number of ships available among the four major factions in the game. Ironblood ships have a military theme with their outfits, reflecting the militarist ideology of Nazi Germany during World War II, and they specialize in [[ArmorPiercingAttack armor-piercing damage that deals heavy damage to bigger enemy ships]]. A common trait is their rigging either having some sort of monstrous traits, most prominently, a split in the hull of their rigging that resembles a JaggedMouth (which ranges from cute on their destroyers to outright monstrous on their heavy cruisers, battleships, battlecruisers, and carriers) or being a bit of a CuteMonsterGirl. Some of their ships such as [=Z46=] and Prinz Eugen have [[StoneWall some of the highest HP and defense stats in the game for their ship type]], and their torpedoes are the only ones in the game with the [[HomingProjectile Lock On]] attribute. The ships, however, have torpedoes as a secondary thing in part due to the middling torpedo stats seen on some destroyers and a number of cruisers.

** Rather notably, in the [=2020s=] (and specifically ''after'' that furniture set mentioned above), new IB girls tended to assiduously avoid anything even ''approaching'' specific Nazi-adjacent symbology, with the sole exception of the "white circle X on a red field" that stood in for the "prow swastika" on older ships. And even then, some artists went still further - Ohisashiburi, for example, turning [[https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Ulrich_von_Hutten Ulrich's]] into a symbol resembling a game controller crosspad instead.

The imagery on the older ships, however, was not revised in the game (despite being, as noted above, pointedly removed or redesigned in other media).
