History Characters / AzurLaneSakuraEmpireBattlecruisersAndBattleships

* BigEater: Amagi is a low-key lover of food. It's most apparent in her party dress skin where she mentions she mentions she calls her self an expert in eating too much. She's also depicted with a fondness for Akagi's macaroons and on at least one occasion has almost mistakenly eaten a manjuu thinking it was one of the buns Akagi made in their likeness... and is still curious how they taste afterwards.

* CoolBigSis: To Akagi, and Kaga.

* {{Foil}}: To Hood - they're both {{proper lad|y}}ies and super rare battlecruisers with overwhelmingly powerful barrages that activate when they fire their main guns rather than on a timer, and both were doomed in history, but Hood is a StoneWall and offers offensive buffs to the backline, and Amagi is a GlassCannon who focuses on defensive buffs to the whole fleet and debuffing the enemy fleet, as well as and ''receiving'' an offensive buff from her IJN sisters - almost everything ''but'' giving an offensive buff. Also, in a personality sense, Hood is more motherly or aunt-like to the Royal Navy and plays the proper lady traits straight, while Amagi's known relationships with the Sakura Empire's ships are more sisterly and there are signs that she might not be quite as proper as she lets on.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Playable Amagi is implied to be healthier than her Crimson Echoes counterpart who had a [[spoiler: defective Wisdom Cube]], and Amagi was only obtainable through the limited gacha, which is also referred to as ship construction and which uses [[spoiler: Wisdom Cubes]] as an input, implying that she legitimately does not have the same innate flaw that doomed her in-story.

* HandicappedBadass: Despite her IncurableCoughOfDeath [[spoiler: and her defective core]] that leaves her a coughing mess if she engages in any particularly strenuous physical activity, she is able to take to the field, fight on the frontlines and defeat Kaga in the Wargame, and afterward, she is able to push deep into Siren territory to bring Kaga back once she decides she'd rather die as a battleship than suffer this disgrace of being turned into a carrier (until Houshou and the Sirens show her just how dangerous a carrier's planes can be).

--> "*Cough, cough*... Since I'm so frail, I cannot cook properly, and even with my best efforts I cannot make anything better than this..." Perhaps you will want to try my handmade chocolate even more if I say that... *Giggle*...
* TheRival: To Kaga and, to a lesser degree, Tosa.
* SecretlyDying: [[spoiler: Her core was defective, to begin with. Getting torpedoed by a Siren didn't help.]]

* UncannyFamilyResemblance: With Akagi, given they're sisters.

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: She marvels at both the new things of the current time and at how ships have come since her days. Justified as she mainly was in service before carriers were invented, much less major parts of navies, and she is herself a pre-dreadnought, and even gun-armed ships are far more advanced than the designs that were her contemporaries, with single-caliber batteries, larger cannons, all-or-nothing armor schemes, oil-fired boilers, greater rates of fire, radar-directed gunnery, and more. This is partially a joke on how, unlike nearly everyone else on the roster, she didn't serve in World War 2 at all - so naturally, she's unfamiliar with technology much past 1923, the year of her decommissioning.

* OlderThanTheyLook: The Kongou sisters are some of the oldest ships in the game, rivaling Langley, and only younger than Mikasa and Avrora. That said, they all got some serious upgrades around 1935.

* OlderThanSheLooks: She looks mid-20's at most, but is one of '''the''' oldest ships in the game (with only [[Characters/AzurLaneNorthUnion Avrora]] being from the same year, and only [[Characters/AzurLaneEasternRadiance Hai Chi and Hai Tien]] being older), having been commissioned in ''1902''. She was, for a ''long'' time[[note]]well over four years![[/note]], the only ship on the roster that was actually built prior to, but didn't serve in, [=WW2=] in some capacity - she's primarily famous for being one of the world's oldest museum ships and the last surviving pre-dreadnought battleship in the world as of the new millennium.

** The fact that "Unleashed Tactics" is strengthened in PvP is a nod to how the other game's story centered around a big combat exercise.

* ForWantOfANail: Pretty much every problem the Sakura Empire is currently facing stems from [[spoiler:Amagi's death. The Combined Fleet fractured without a strong leader to guide it, Nagato was too naive & inexperienced at first to take her place, and almost everything Akagi has done in-story has been in service to trying to bring her back.]]

!!Battlecruisers (CC/BC)

* TakeThat: She states that neither her or Ise have issues with exploding turrets, referring to Mutsu's unfortunate fate.[[note]]Ironically the real Hyuuga also suffered a turret explosion in 1942, which was why the Ises were converted into aviation battleships before the Yamashiros since she was down a turret anyway[[/note]]

* TakeThat: She states that neither her or Ise have issues with exploding turrets, referring to Mutsu's unfortunate fate.

* PowerUpLetdown: Her [[MechanicallyUnusualFighter off-fleet barrage]], while interesting in concept, has several conditions restricting its use [[note]] Tosa must be on a different fleet, Tosa must be alive, the other fleet's flagship specifically has to be a battleship, the fleet must be on its 3rd, 4th or 5th sortie and twenty seconds must pass from the start of the sortie.[[/note]] and even when it does proc, the barrage is small and weak, to the point you can essentially ignore it exists to absolutely no detriment to yourself. This is likely meant to represent that [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Battleships can only offer minimal fire support from that extreme a range,]] and from a meta perspective, to serve as a balancing factor, as otherwise a powerful off-fleet barrage could make Tosa too strong.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: This is probably the point of Tosa's [[MechanicallyUnusualFighter off-fleet barrage]]: despite being a barrage skill with many restrictions for its use, [[PowerUpLetdown the volume of fire and damage of the barrage are extremely low, especially when compared to Tosa's other two barrages.]] As Tosa has to be on a different fleet entirely to fire this barrage, this [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration neatly shows through gameplay the lesson of]] ''[[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Crimson Echoes]]'', [[EndOfAnEra the one that Amagi learned and made her compatriots to see:]] The limits of Battleships, and thus, the power of [[SuperiorSuccessor the Aircraft Carrier]]; namely, its ability to operate effectively at ranges far surpassing those of Battleships with more accuracy. Tosa's off-fleet barrage is weak ''because'' she simply does not have the range necessary to effectively shell an enemy who is ''too far away''. It's a testament to Tosa's obscene gunnery that her fire even reaches the enemy at all.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: While subverted on her default skin, the three premium skins all have her nonchalantly barefoot.

* BoobsOfSteel: Has a quite sizable rack, and she's one of the strongest Sakura Empire battleships.

* UniformityException: [[IncrediblyLamePun Literally]]. She is the only member of the class that doesn't wear a military uniform, dressing like a ninja instead.

* IncrediblyLamePun: Nagato at least seems designed around the phrase "Miko Miko no Miko", a pun using three meanings of the word Miko (Honorable Fox, Divine girl, and Shrine maiden). This largely survived the new artist's redesign.

* SweaterGirl: She has a skin of her casually wearing a sweater and not much else.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: ''All three'' of her premium skins have her completely eschewing footwear, and the artist does their best to [[FootFocus make sure you notice]]. Her uniform boots may very well be the only pair of shoes she owns.

* FormalCharactersUseKeigo: They
use a very formal and somewhat archaic manner of speech, befitting of high-born Japanese noblewomen.

* {{Keigo}}: They have a very formal and somewhat archaic manner of speech, befitting of high-born Japanese noblewomen.

* BladeOnAStick: Both girls use Naginatas.

* TheStoic: Subverted: In ''Crosswave'', she acts like this not because she is one, but due to her being NotGoodWithPeople and wanting to stay out of limelight. Her inner monologue shows just how much of a dork she actually is.

* SenpaiKohai: Being the most senior shipgirl in the Sakura Empire fleet, as well as being a respected veteran of the previous Siren conflicts, other Sakura Empire girls regardless of class refer to her as "Mikasa-daisenpai", or "Great Elder/Senior Mikasa".
