History Characters / AzurLaneSakuraEmpireDestroyersDD

* HistoricalInJoke: She hesitates when giving her type number between calling herself a Type I and Type II. This is because there was an Ayanami-class vessel by the same name built after the War for the JMSDF.

* CombatHandFan: Carries one in her retrofit art almost as large as her. She actually complains about its size ando not being used to it yet.

* HistoricalInJoke: She mentions Verniy, the name she was given when transferred to the Soviets after the war, in one of her lines.

* BornUnlucky: Her luck is a lowly 10, referencing the circumstances of her sinking, where she was the only destroyer to be sunk in a collision with another allied destroyer.

* CryCute: When her {{tsundere}} attitude backfires during her love line.

* MacrossMissileMassacre: More "Macross Torpedo Massacre", but functionally the same: Shimakaze has an ''S-rank'' Torpedo stat, and two of her skills are all about buffing and abusing the Torpedo stats of the entire frontline, especially Destroyers. Equip her with the [[WeaponOfChoice 610mm Quintuple Torpedo Mount]] you can buy from Upon the Shimmering Blue's event shop, and she becomes a torpedo-spewing monster, [[MythologyGag just like in]] ''[[MythologyGag Crosswave]]''. She can even launch Torpedo strikes [[UpToEleven in fleets she isn't even a part of]]!

* AnimationBump: Just like Shinano and New Jersey before her, if you manage to pull her while building during the event, you're treated to a short anime-style sequence of her skating across the water and pointing her 'gun' (the part of her rigging that she's holding in her hand) at the screen. She has a dynamic (simple [=Live2D=], standard on all rainbow rarity ships) default skin and is the first buildable UR to get a [=Live2D=] skin.

* BandageBabe: In her Halloween skin.

* RapunzelHair: As her sports skin shows, her ponytail is utterly titanic. Sitting in a tuck-legged position results in a good ''two feet'' of hair coming in contact with the floor.

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Her default skirt is incredibly short, to the point where it shows her underwear.

* MsFanservice: Virtually all of her outfits are [[{{Stripperiffic}} incredibly revealing]] [[{{Underboobs}} in one]] [[DangerouslyShortSkirt way or another.]] In addition, she's fairly busty in spite of her seemingly young appearance.

* CanonImmigrant: She first appeared as the main protagonist of''Crosswave'' in 2019 almost a full two years before her debut in the mobile game during the Upon the Shimmering Blue event.

* BreakoutCharacter: When she made her debut in ''Crosswave'' in August of 2019, she was an instant hit with fans of the series, who had been requesting for her being added to the main game ever since. Manjuu was clearly listening, and when she ''finally'' appeared in the main game two years and one month later, not only was she ''the'' focus of the event (which was chock-full of {{Mythology Gag}}s that reference ''Crosswave''), but she was also released as an ''Ultra-Rare'', with a [=Live2D=] skin at her debut, a first for her rarity.

* AdaptedOut: Interestingly, the game actually leaves Yukikaze's post-war history completely unmentioned, and that history is what further cemented her status as an unsinkable lucky ship. She was transferred to another navy as war reparations, and actually served around the time of the Korean War, intercepting cargo vessels for her new home country and making multiple defensive patrols; she also memorably visited Manila, where she drew a huge crowd of visitors. She was only finally wrecked by a typhoon that hit her home harbor in 1966, in the middle of an effort to have her repatriated to Japan to become a museum ship. The problem? The new navy in question was the Chinese navy - the ''Republic of China'' Navy. As a result, Yongshi/Manjuu have apparently felt it prudent to leave her postwar history completely unmentioned.

* GlassCannon: Has the highest Torpedo stat among the starters but has lower speed than [[FragileSpeedster Javelin]] and lower HP than [[JackOfAllStats Laffey]] and [[MightyGlacier Z23]]. Post remodel, she has the highest Torpedo stat in the game, and her new skill boosts evasion while giving a powerful linear barrage ending with Torpedoes, allowing her to rip through entire enemy fleets with ease, especially in [[PlayerVersusPlayer PvP]] where she is considered one of TheDreaded.

* TheSlacker: There's a few signs she has this tendency like her Nico Nico skin, and her early appearances in ''Slow Ahead''. But on duty she doesn't really show it.

* JackOfAllStats: Her "Nightmare of Solomon" skill suggests this by boosting a number of stats upon proccing. Her retrofit truly makes one as the skill becomes a permanent status buff and gives enough other things to turn her into hybrid destroyer.
* KillItWithFire: Upon retrofit, not only she gains a skill to set enemies on fire, but said enemies take more damage from her while they have this status debuff.

* {{Underboobs}}: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated.]] All of her skins show this. Even in her oath skin she gets one.

* ShrinkingViolet: Even more shy that Shiratsuyu.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Her default skin has [=Live2D=], just like the Starter ships and Akashi, because she was planned to be the Sakura Empire's StarterMon instead of Ayanami. By the time they swapped places, her Live 2D animations were already implamented into the game and were left in anyway.

* RareRandomDrop: Similar to the Mutsuki destroyers, she's a downplayed example -- she's only available from Light ship construction despite being a permanent roster edition, and is deceptively harder to find as a result.
