Kiyoshimo has gone beyond a Battleship to become a mecha?

So what's the point in packing a battleship rigging if you're gonna abandon it in panel 4?

For dramatic purpose?

The best of both worlds.

As long as she has proper grounding

you may not know, but this is a reference to the movie "battleship"

There's a translation note mentioning it in panel 3.

To make one look BADASS.

What? They are clearly just limiters before going full space battleship on the Abyssals.

The last panel reminds me a lot of Gash (or Zatch for the West) throwing out a Zakeru or Zakeruga, strong Konjiki no Gash Bell vibes right there, especially considering Kiyoshimo has the same vertical lines under the eyes. I'm positive that's a direct reference to it, but I leave this up to the taggers and such.

Yu forgot the part about the blank eyes.

A Gash bell refence in last panel, I like it.

Makes me wonder... could a shipgirl pilot a Jager?

The last panel is also a Zatch Bell reference.
