Passing the torch.

Putting in the Super Sentai tag because that is what they do after the last episode air, they show the red ranger from that team tagging in the red ranger for the next team that is coming up.

For what I know, they always change the villains each team's turn too so I didn't think it was really passing on the torch though....
But it does make sense.

The hype is real, folks. Shigure is deploying! As are Yahagi and Yukikaze.

Yahagi and Yukikaze are going back to Samar while Shirgure gets to relive her darkest night at the Surigao Strait.

Baton Pass

Wait... are we talkin' 'bout the elusive KanColle 2nd season? If so, sources please.

Naw. I think the Surigao Straits are a flashback to the actual events in WW2, which has canonically happened and ended. The kanmusu are reincarnations, after all. Shigure in modern day gets assigned to Yahagi's base, believing herself to be a bad luck ship and the series is about (again) proving that history and fate can be changed.

And to be exact, looks like it's a reference to the Boukenger - Gekiranger baton pass.

unfortunately, the twitter account that showed the leak seems to have deleted it. It shows Shigure as new protag, appropriate given her service and entire "tragic heroine" aura, with Yahagi as second protagonist.
