History Characters / AzurLaneSakuraEmpireBattlecruisersAndBattleships

* ImpracticallyFancyOutfit: Musashi's black-and-purple kimono is quite something, combining an ImpossiblyLowNeckline, a DangerouslyShortSkirt, enormous flowing sleeves nearly as long as she is tall, and some completely superfluous samurai-style shoulder armor.

* ArtisticLicenseShips: Mikasa's self-categorization as a member of the ''Shikishima'' class is somewhat questionable, as while the Japanese ordered four battleships (''Shikishima'', ''Hatsuse'', ''Asahi'', ''Mikasa'') from British shipyards around the same time, the latter two were based on a different master design and were both distinct enough to be considered one-offs in their own unique classes. She also calls herself a dreadnought when she is fact not one. Mikasa is the only pre-dreadnought battleship in the game.

* SempaiKouhai: 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".

* HistoricalInJoke: The reason why they are designed as the TokenMiniMoe of battleships? Nagato and Mutsu were the few rare warships that were (partially) funded and sponsored by organizations focusing on children (orphanages, to be specific). This is more pronounced with Mutsu, as she was the one with the most funding from said organizations. This is also why the Japansese delegation to the Washington Naval Conference argued so strongly to keep her, as she was already paid for.

* BuxomIsBetter: The most endowed of the four ships

* BuxomIsBetter: The fact that one can see a considerable bustline despite properly wearing her clothing suggests that she's easily Akagi's bigger sister in this area. Her swimsuit skin confirms this.

* BuxomIsBetter: She's easily a match for most of the shapely shipgirls in the game.

* MsFanservice: A StatuesqueStunner with [[BuxomIsBetter noticable rack]], especially notable in her swimsuit skin which also shows off her noticable rear as well.

* {{Sarashi}}: Wears one that is visible underneath her armored kimono as part of her samurai getup, though it does very little in holding (or hiding) [[BuxomIsBetter her breasts]]

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Gives one to [[spoiler: Kaga]] to get her out of her DeathSeeker funk, especially because other girls got injured due to her recklessness.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: [[spoiler: Gets one at the hands of Amagi, because her selfishness dragged other Sakura Empire girls into conflict with the Sirens.]]

* YamatoNadeshiko: Pun aside, Shinano and Musashi are kind, polite, even motherly towards their comrades and the Commander. Pun notwithstanding, they are still members of the mighty ''Yamato''-class, and are willing to use the full extent of their power to protect everything they hold dear.

* {{Meido}}: Her "Violet Moonglow" skin.

* AscendedMeme: A lot of [[Franchise.JojosBizarreAdventure DIO]] related imagery is used with Kaga, from her fox mask in her official art, her activation skill icons, [[spoiler: and even her rejection of her aircraft carrier refit in lieu of Dio rejecting humanity.]]

* ShesGotLegs: Several of their premium skins have a focus on their legs and feet. A case of AuthorAppeal by the artist, much like with ships drawn by Atdan.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: Similar to the Nagato-class, they originally had different designs by a different artist prior to their playable versions being added with the ''Return of the War God'' event. Many of the elements of their original designs carried over when Criin redesigned them, although this varies (for example: Kongou looks extremely similar between designs, but the only real similarity between Hiei's designs is "carries a katana" and "has hte largest breasts of the sisters.")

* TokenMiniMoe: Out of all of the Big Seven, they're the nes portrayed as preteen/early-teen girls. Pre-redesign, this only applied to Nagato.

* FriendToAllChildren: They are very kind and motherly towards shipgirls of the smaller classes, (especially destroyers), and often directly refer to them as "children."

* {{BFG}}: She can be armed with the legendary triple 460mm (18 in.) guns of the ''Yamato''-class, available in the ''Violet Tempest, Blooming Lycoris'' event exchange shop.

** In one of her sprite animations, her sword transforms into her image and happily dances about before it is cut down in frustration, in the same fashion as VideoGame/DevilMayCry5's Vergil and his Doppelganger in his EX Provocation.

* PurpleIsPowerful: She's primarily purple themed and is one of the leaders of the Sakura Empire.

The personification of the Japanese battleship Musashi. Introduced in Summer 2022 as part of the JP Servers' 5th Anniversary Celebration, she serves as the feature character of the ''Violet Tempest, Blooming Lycoris'' Event storyline.

Battleships of the ''Fusou'' and ''Ise'' classes turn into this ship type post remodel. Refer to their respective entries in the Battleships (BB) section for more details.

* YamatoNadeshiko: Shinano and Musashi are kind, polite, even motherly towards their comrades and the Commander. Pun notwithstanding, they are still members of the mighty ''Yamato''-class, and are willing to use the full extent of their power to protect everything they hold dear.

* BestBeerEver: In one of her voice lines.

* HideousHangoverCure: She mentions the classic raw egg in one of her voice lines as a way to wake up.

* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Kii mentions that Ise is her drinking buddy.
