Now Viewing: ushio_(kantai_collection)Tag type: Character 潮 (Tide) Ushio is the personification of the twentieth ship of the Fubuki-class or tenth Ayanami sub-class destroyer in Kantai_Collection. She is part of the 7th Destroyer Division, along with Oboro_(Kantai_Collection), Sazanami_(Kantai_Collection), and Akebono_(Kantai_Collection). She tends to behave in a shy and clumsy manner. Her voicework portrays her being quite unsure of herself and very soft-spoken. She also gives off a signature "HYAA!" scream, especially when repeatedly "poked" by the player. Combined with her pink cannon and stickers, she tends to come off as a girly-girl. As an extension of this, she's also used in works portraying her as a serial sexual abuse victim... whether for comedy or drama is up to the artist. Ushio tends to appear in comics alongside Akebono, with Akebono being a constantly fussing older sister. She wears a serafuku and black_legwear kneehighs. Her cannon is pink, and which has a :3 face upon its top so that looking down at it, the cannon barrels look like ears on a bunny. She normally hugs her cannon tightly to her chest (to hide her chest, presumably). She has long_hair, black_hair with a notable ahoge. The torpedo launchers strapped to her thighs have puppy, kitty, bunny, and other cartoon animal stickers on them. Her most salient trait is that in her official_art, after reaching medium damage, she pulls her cannon away, and you can see she's hiding large_breasts for a destroyer/young girl. (The reason for this may be that "Ushi" is the word for "cow", so she has "Ushi Oppai", or "cow tits", which is how some Japanese mock women with large breasts.) Many more recent destroyers have had large breasts, but at the time, she was the only busty destroyer, making her the "oppai loli". Even though Hamakaze_(Kantai_Collection) has stolen a bit of her thunder, and there are a few others that have significant chest size, a combination of the fact that it had already become A meme, and the fact that Ushio seems so shy about it makes her a particular target for large-breasted little girl jokes. In her second remodel (Kai Ni), she comes with green-and-brown camouflage painted on her rigging, boots and weapons. Her pink bunny-gun is replaced with a wrist-mounted double-barreled turret on her right arm, and a forearm-mounted pair of triple-barreled turrets on her left, reflecting her all-AA cannon loadout. A long white ribbon is worn like a headband, tied in a bow that flutters behind her, and she has depth_charges worn looped on her skirt belt. When taking medium or heavy damage, her CG also now reveals she wears bear_print panties. She, along with her divisionmates, has early Summer seasonal CG. Unlike them, she has a portrait for both her versions. In both, she wears a blue_swimsuit one-piece swimsuit with polka dots (polka_dot_swimsuit) with a red wrist_scrunchie, while holding her serafuku top. The main differences between the two is that she wears the corresponding gear for each version and she wears a straw hat on her second remodel portrait. She also has a seasonal CG for Autumn for both versions. Her unremodeled version features her wearing a lavender cardigan with a bunny on a while holding a bag full of sweet_potatoes and a broom along with some dead leaves on and around her. For her second remodel, she also holds a grilled saury plate and a tairyou-bata is secured to her gear. Historically, the real-life Ushio took part in many of the IJN's operations and was one of the extremely few surviving Japanese destroyers of World_War_II, alongside only Yukikaze_(Kantai_Collection) and Hibiki_(Kantai_Collection of the ships in the game. Also famous for being a "lucky" ship, she is unlike Yukikaze and Shigure_(Kantai_Collection in the sense that she protected her companions instead of jinxing them. She is also the only ship that was part of the Japanese Taskforce that attacked Pearl Harbor to survive the war. After the war, Ushio was broken up for scrap in 1948. pixiv tags: 潮, 潮(艦隊これくしょん), 潮(艦これ) See also:* Wikipedia article on the historical IJN Ushio: < en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_destroyer_Ushio > From < danbooru.donmai.us/wiki_pages/54444 > Other Wiki Information Last updated: 01/05/16 2:24 PM by surveyork This entry is not locked and you can edit it as you see fit. |
