This post is on the artist's Weibo page, but I have no idea how to link the post. https://www.weibo.com/u/5905768165?layerid=5068373745206093 Best I could do is link the image which gives me a "bad link". Maybe better experienced members can help out.
This artwork was made in tribute of Nobita's voice actor, Noriko Ohara.
While she passed away July 12, 2024, her passing wasn't officially announced officially until July 23rd, the day this artwork was originally posted, as well as other tributes from fans and fellow voice actors alike.
At last we get a fair fight between a Harbinger and an Archon. All the previous fights were horribly one-sided: Venti was weak from centuries of minimal worship, and Signora ambushed him anyway; Signora got the crap beaten out of her by the Traveler before Raiden killed her (and Signora wouldn't have been a match for Raiden even at full power); Nahida trapped Scaramouche in a Samsara before the fight even started; and Furina had no powers.
If there was more pictures of TGVs it would be so awesome. The TGV was by far the most fucking awesome vehicle I've ever boarded. Imagine you're riding a first class bus, now imagine the bus doesn't tilts or shakes or anything, now imagine the bus is 4 times faster! (and this one here is a TGV Réseau, the TGV POS can do 500 km/h).
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(!).
