After taking Zookeepers off of Twitter, Diva decided to gradually unlock the older posts on Patreon instead (although seeing them over there still requires an account), so starting from this image, I will be reposting them from Patreon, but only when a particular one is no longer paywalled.

All the ones that have been posted on Danbooru have been unlocked on Patreon, and one or two after this might have been already unlocked too, but I think I'm going to stick with -100 approach (meaning I will only upload a post after Diva makes a new episode, which is 100 episodes ahead of the one I'm reposting here.)

    Hmm ... if you're going to modernize everything while keeping big main guns, and given that the secondary guns have clearly been replaced with fewer, more modern, rapid-firing guns ... why not do the same with the main guns too? Instead of the traditional three triple turrets, have just a few very large and powerful, yet still rapid-firing guns. Given modern fire control and direction, and possibly shooting guided projectiles, you shouldn't need the former greater number of guns to ensure you get hits.

    This image reminds me of the scene of the Japanese fleet in San Francisco in The Man in the High Castle

    The yamato on that movie still have ww2 aa that is completely useless 20 y later, and the fact japan has oil problem on that what if world, it's idk. Like they built 6 full yamato class battleship but dont realise those ships single handley are drain oil at much faster rate, and this is true about this class of battleship that why they are the worst. Iowa better.
    I don't see this as an alternative future, but more like what-if Yamato was kept and rebuilt on a modern battleshp design style

    No, absolutely no. Look Missouri and Wisconsin on 1991, with their main guns they were able to support the troops on land.

    Sure I guess you can design a new turret from scratch, for questionable benefit of increasing ROF on something doesn't need to shoot very fast. But, have you considered the fact that everyone lost the ability to make weapons of this size? The machinery long scrapped, engineers and workers dead from old age, and techinical documentation is rather "suggestions".
    You don't even need USSR style system collapse for it to happen. Look, for example, at Fogbank where US reportedly had to reverse engineer parts of its own strategic nuclear warheads(!).

    This is the Hyaku Shiki, just in red.
    One of the easy way to differentiate it from the Zero Shiki is the shoulders, the Zero's look like the Rick Dias'.
    Also the artist commentary states the model number, which in the case of the Zero would be MSZ-000.

    This is not only "Hyaku Shiki just in red"... look closely. Different binders, different beam rifle. And the Zero Shiki is a red Hyaku basically, so it can be a mix. This is a redesign with visual elements from the original Hyaku Shiki and the Zero Shiki, so I am tagging it as both.

    Colour aside it seems to be hyaku + mkii instead though?
    Head: hyaku
    Shoulders: hyaku
    arms: Mkii
    rifle+shield: Mkii
    binders: hyaku
    torso: zeta/re-gz with a different hatch?
    everything from the hips down: hyaku

    The color and binders are from the Zero and the rest is both Hyaku and the MkII... is a fusion of all three.
