History Characters / KanColleSix

* MeaningfulRename: She was originally named after the Lictor, which were symbolized with the fasces. As the fasces was a symbol and namesake of fascism, when Mussolini was kicked out of power, she had to be renamed to something else. Thus "Italia", a name would be acceptable to all Italians.

* BornUnlucky: She's the first major warship to be sunk by a guided bomb attack after one of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_X Fritz-X radio guided bombs]] launched by the Germans struck one of her magazines. The force of the explosion was so powerful it blew her number 2 turret clear off of its mountings off the ship, which is why her damaged artwork is missing a turret.

* AwesomeButImpractical : The [[http://kancolle.fandom.com/wiki/381mm/50_Triple_Gun_Mount 381mm / 50 Triple Gun Mount]], which was initially available as one of March 2015 ranking rewards, and are the default equipment of the ''Vittorio Veneto''-class battleships, is regarded as this. It is very powerful [[note]]equivalent to 41cm guns at +20 firepower compared to Bismarck's 38cm main guns at +16[[/note]] and long-ranged for its modestly-sized 381mm caliber [[note]]Has its range listed as "Very Long", a range equivalent to the 46 cm main guns historically equipped on ''Yamato''-class battleships[[/note]]. However, the gun itself comes with a ''significant'' loss of accuracy and slight reduction of evasion despite being less than 16 inch (40.6cm in metrics) in caliber, making it all the more impractical in the Combined Fleet due to the huge accuracy penalty imposed for mobilizing such a massive fleet, meaning that this already inaccurate gun is unlikely to hit enemy ships with reliable accuracy. Since there are no in-game restrictions up to 46cm for the caliber size of the main guns for fast battleships, many players have regarded it as a [[JokeItem joke armament]] and opted to replace the stock Italian BB guns with more accurate guns. The gun itself is upgradeable into its Kai version, fortunately, though the gun remains somewhat inaccurate [[note]]Pre-upgraded version has -3 accuracy loss, whereas upgraded version has -1 accuracy[[/note]].

* ArcherArchetype: Like most of the Japanese carriers, she uses a bow to launch her planes, though hers is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_bow composite bow]].
** The [[http://kancolle.fandom.com/wiki/Re.2005_Kai Re.2005 Kai]] fairy also qualifies, since the historical plane is named as ''Sagittario'' [[note]]literally Sagittarius in Italian, which in turn means "archer"[[/note]] by ''Regia Aeronautica''. Unfortunately, Aquila doesn't have it as her stock equipment, as it was an event-exclusive reward for clearing Summer 2016 Event at Normal or Hard difficulty.

* CoolGuns: Her seaplane launcher is based on [=WW2=]-era Italian light machine gun, the Breda 30.

* {{Bokukko}}: It's hard not to think of her as a little boy from first glance. Her name and speech mannerisms don't help either, leading the IJN destroyers to mistake her for a boy.

* GratuitousGerman: Sure, they are supposed to be German but, due to lacking voice actors that can speak German well, they speak barely more German than I-8. U-511 even drops most of it after becoming Ro-500.

* BornUnlucky: Much like Graf Zeppelin before her, she was an incomplete ship that was never commissioned. To make it worse off, her own countrymen (in diving suits) sabotaged her when she was taken over by the Kriegsmarine in dry dock. It's possible that her luck is actually lower than Graf's for that reason, despite being further along in construction.

Comandante Cappellini is the personification of the Italian submarine ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_submarine_Comandante_Cappellini Nevada]]'', introduced as the E-5 Map drop for the Summer 2023 event. She was later transferred to Germany and renamed UIT-24, before her final service in Japan as I-503.

-->''"Ciao! I'm Luigi Torelli. That's right, Torelli... Hmmm, just Lui is fine!"''\\\

Luigi Torelli is the personification of the Italian submarine ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_submarine_Luigi_Torelli Luigi Torelli]]''. She was first transferred to Germany and renamed UIT-25, before being moved to Japan as I-504. Luigi's introduced in the Summer 2017 Event as a drop reward in the E6 map.

* AntiAir: She is notable as the only submarine in the game that has an anti-air stat. This is a reference to how Italian submarines had slower diving speeds compared to other nations' submarines, which led to their crews becoming proficient at shooting at enemy aircraft. As I-504, she was allegedly responsible for last known success of an Axis naval ship in the war, where she shot down a USAAF B-25 bomber over Kobe, Japan. In-game, she can also perform anti-air cut-ins as UIT-25 or I-504 if equipped with any anti-aircraft machine guns.
* BornLucky: Quite high. As Luigi, base stat starts at 25, her Kai at 30, as UIT-25 at 35, and as I-504 at 40. This is due to her historical record of: being part of a Wolfpack attack on sinking multiple Greek, Norwegian, and British ships throughout 1941; surviving heavy damage in 1942 and yet still making back to port for repairs; and survived two air attacks in 1943 before her transfer to the Kreigsmarine to become UIT-25. Then she was acquired by the Japanese after Germany surrendered. ''Then'' she managed to survive the war.
* IHaveManyNames: 3 different names while in services with 3 different navies. In fact, she has a problem choosing a nickname for you to call her (and which language she's supposed to use for greetings) on each name change. For the record, she goes from "Lui" to "Ui" and finally "Go-chan".
* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Italian patriot [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Torelli Luigi Torelli]], who had participated in the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Days_of_Milan Five Days of Milan]] on driving out Austrian soldiers from Milan, the beginning of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Italian_War_of_Independence First Italian War of Independence]].
* PowerupLetdown: Remodeling Luigi Torelli to her Kai form gives her a base torpedo stat of '''0''', similar to Maruyu, with this state persisting when remodeling to UIT-25, and she only gets her torpedo stat back once she remodels into I-504. This unusual feature is likely based on Luigi Torelli's history: when she sustained critical battle damage earlier in the war, her torpedo tubes were replaced with extra fuel tanks to turn her into a transport ship carrying supplies to and from Japan.
* SchoolSwimsuit: As I-504, she sports a white one.
* VerbalTic: She tends to append "Hanya Hanya~" at the end of her sentences.

* BoobsOfSteel: One of the overall strongest ships, and she even wears a BreastPlate.

* OfCorsetsSexy: In her Due remodel, emphasizing her [[BoobsOfSteel larger breasts]] with being the strongest heavy cruiser in shelling firepower and armor. She even have a torpedo bulge as one of her stock equipment. [[note]]apparently as a subtle AscendedMeme where bulges is an [[UnusualEuphemism euphemism]] for large breasts[[/note]]

* TookALevelInBadass: The 28 February 2016 update introduces her second remodel which gives her ''the'' best shelling firepower [[note]]at 87, her firepower is 2 point higher than Choukai in her second remodel, and can be further boosted by 10 with the Skilled Carrier-based Aircraft Maintenance Personnel[[/note]] and armor [[note]]Her armor value is 88, which is 10 points higher than her previous remodel and 6 points higher than Prinz Eugen. Her HP was increased as well, though it was capped at 1 point lower than Prinz Eugen[[/note]] among the heavy cruisers, Her anti-air stat receives a significant boost as well as increased her plane slots to usable levels and enable her to equip Skilled Carrier-based Aircraft Maintenance Personnel while [[LoopholeAbuse retaining her heavy cruiser classification]]. To top it all off, she gets an ArtEvolution which includes her BoobsOfSteel. That said, she has a '''very''' high level requirement for a heavy cruiser, requiring Level 88 [[note]]equivalent to the conversion remodel for Shoukaku Kai Ni A[[/note]] '''and''' a blueprint for the remodel.

* SenpaiKohai: She is sometimes depicted as the Kohai to Akagi, since some elements of Graf's design (the ship, that is) were copied from Akagi's. In fan works, however, she's depicted as Sempai to Aquila's Kohai (related to how Aquila herself views Akagi and Graf).

* UnknownRival: A couple of her lines indicate that she wants to be a rival to Akagi and Graf Zeppelin. However, they don't seem to take her that seriously.

* BornUnlucky: Have the lowest Luck scores of any Destroyer, at least when unremodeled. A reference to the ill-planned way they were designed.

* BornUnlucky: 8 luck when unremodelled, due to the ill-planned way she was designed, as well as how she sank.

* BornUnlucky: Like Lebe, due to the ill-planned way she was designed, as well as how she sank. However, her unremodelled luck is lower at 6, possibly due to sinking with all hands while Z1 had 60 survivors.
* BoyishShortHair: Just like her sistership Leberecht-Maass, but with longer hair in the front, making it easier to identify her for a girl.

* BornLucky: Contrast to the other German ships who appeared before her, she starts with high luck. Considering she survived the war ''and'' tests Able and Baker at Crossroads. She only sank because of damage unrepaired only because she was too radioactive to be able to do so.

* SempaiKohai: She is sometimes depicted as the Kohai to Akagi, since some elements of Graf's design (the ship, that is) were copied from Akagi's. In fan works, however, she's depicted as Sempai to Aquila's Kohai (related to how Aquila herself views Akagi and Graf).

* NiceHat: They all come with nice military hats, from the destroyers' simple berets to the capital shipgirls' CommissarCap[=s=].

* NiceHat: A peaked hat almost identical to Bismarck's.

* NiceHat: A Kriegsmarine peaked cap with radar wings on its sides.

* NiceHat: A white version of Bismarck and Prinz Eugen's peaked hat.

* NiceHat: As U-511, a garrison cap with a radio headset that looks like a dog's ears.

* NiceHat: Each of them has a hat resembling a part of their superstructure.

* NiceHat: A miniature shako designed after her bridge.

* NiceHat: Similar to Libeccio's and it's also based on a part of her superstructure.

* NiceHat: Identical to Zara's except with a different decoration.

* NiceHat: Technically a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diadem_(personal_wear) diadem]], which is shaped like the bow decoration of the ships they are based on.

* AuthorAppeal: The first batch of Kriegsmarine ships were designed by Fumikane Shimada (of Anime/SkyGirls, Anime/StrikeWitches, and Anime/GirlsUndPanzer fame), and as such display a distinct lack of skirts or pants of any kind.
