If construction and sortie drops actually exist in the anime and Kisaragi is built again, this is just going to get more fucked up than I thought... DX
I brought this up in a FB group I'm part of, I said that using the actual game as a basis, isn't it possible to make another Kisaragi? Though I really don't want it to happen, because then it's just a major mind fuck...like...at that point might as well classify it as psychological too right? I think if this happens it'll just break Mutsuki...though we don't know how well she'll take the news of Kisaragi's sinking anyway...
I would think the admiralty would be savvy enough to tell the replacement that she is replacing someone so something awkward like this can be headed off.
Even if they aren't loving of shipgirls, they should see how this can cause major issues.
Kisa...ragi...-chan...?You were safe! I always believed this...My name is Kisaragi and I've just been constructed today.
I'll be in your care from now on.Kisaragi-chan...Eh...?Nice to meet you.
