She has some serious big sword.

And she, like her sister, doesnt get any good guns.
Shame. At least her outfit is nice.

And she´s a heavy cruiser now, damn. Look at those marvellous tits. Thats beyond what most battleships have- highly approved.

seems to be more AA centric huh??

A mixture of katana and a broadsword (Palash)

Ooh, she looks good. Real good. Actually has a little muscle there, too.

uhh thicker

That thing was too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy and too rough. It was more like a large hunk of Iron

Hmm, the fur lining of her coat looks a little bit like white wings. She does look nice, but nice isn't the look I wanted for her, unfortunately. As well.

I was imagining a more "chunni" look for her Kai, but I can't deny that I like the way she looks here. Knowing Tenryuu her personality won't change a bit though.

But look at those "fuel tanks", she definitely matured.

Looks like shit, as expected of Ayaki.

EXTRA THICC

I'm gonna be honest and I don't wanna be that guy, but those might be too big.

(Had to look up that reference. I am ashamed.)

I'm reminded of when Yonehara strained himself using Tenryuu's sword to fend off a Re-class and Tenryuu chided him for trying to use shipgirl equipment as an ordinary mortal.

Ayaki is the master of legs. I love how the skirts "draws" the waist zone.

ALL OF MY YES!!! Bless Ayaki!!!

A Dragon Slayer wielded by the Heavenly Dragon herself.

I am generally not a fan of Ayaki's current style, but this art is pretty decent.

THOT....

Indeed.

Also, her legs are more than half her height and go up to her diaphragm, which is preposterous.

They are, but that's popular.

All these years and he still can't draw knees.....

They were always a bit too big, but I think the angle and dress covered it up before, here its more prominent.

Same. I felt that those were, dare i say, comically big.

Nothing learned from Murakumo, and yet for some reason seasonals seems to have better knees and legs in general.

Well, Tenryu is a joke after all.

he might assume people might be too busy looking elsewhere like at the waist or above.

her hair looks very lovely, so detailed

*Crying* Finally. *sob*

I'm torn.

She looks good, but her new outfit is closer to either of Tatsuta's than her original outfit. Like it doesn't scream "Tenryuu" to me.

Maybe if she did a Squall-esque pose with that jacket up, though.

That's kinda the point considering they're part of same fleet together. Tenryuu's original outfit was a basic design, and while her new Kai Ni look shares some similarities to Tatsuta, there are enough elements including the checkered necktie, jacket, and upgraded sword that make it unique enough to fit Tenryuu's tough girl persona.

Yeah, this. I was hoping for something a little more... badass than this (kind of like what Musashi or Nagato got). I wasn't all that keen on Tatsuta's new look to begin with, and it looks even stranger on Tenryuu.

Also the boob pockets are dumb as hell.

The oversize floating tits thats drawn so far away that it looks like it's about to fall off, it looks like something Sachito would draw.

Can't wait til he actually draws this himself. It'll look exactly the same, except probably even bigger tits.

Edit:
Speaking of which; oh hey look, he saw the future

"Armpits on display" group since she's unlikely to wear that coat correctly.

I like the sword, it looks strong

You know it jut occurred to me, but... hasn't she basically just stolen Azur-prise's clothes here?

I think that's the thing. Many of us want her to be something other than a joke. Cut those blimps down to ordinary levels of massive instead of helium filled, give her a black, sleeved, shirt and she'd actually pull off a fairly badass look, I think. Yes, she wouldn't tick the fetish boxes for some, but I'd be fine with that.

Unpopular opinion: I like her design just fine (both this one and the regular version). I enjoyed Xenoblade Chronicles 2 without getting rustled over the character designs as well. It's all par for the course.

Well the design isn't really the problem per se. Her outfit is pretty cool actually and lots of people like it. Its just Ayaki's very hentai-esque proportions that are an issue.

Her legs are way too long holy moly

I see it as more a problem of small arms, especially compared to the thickness of those thighs. Maybe it's just the giant chest skewing my perception of torso size, but while the torso would be a bit small with larger arms, the body proportions would seem fairly normal with larger arms. (Well, that, and I am thinking those are high-heel boots, but might be wrong, but having legs that take up about half the body length is fairly normal. You just don't normally notice because of typical eye-level perspective.)

I'm not scared anymore. I'm horny.
