Big sister, it's time--

NO.

They are just poking fun, everybody thought that'd definitely be you.

After two years of silence, Bismarck is now fully geared and ready to go.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

Big sister...

Let's see how that goes... Where's my phone? Where is it? Oh, here it is!

Start Building! Episode 59: That person who everyone already knew from a long time ago

Mahoragaaa: Was it the Director? ----Ibuki is the best in the world: I'm gonna gacha the fuck outta it if the Director is really implemented. ----Puddin Wei the evil lord of hamster: It...does make sense. [emoji_kneel] ----Show 27 more replies Yunjiu_Alianrsa: Are they implementing the Director? ----Dumbest hero of the world: If that's true, I won't rest till I get him. [emoji_doge] ----Kannazuki Niji: Obviously the Director [emoji_sneer] Didn't Sara-chan just say that was a "person"? Who else can it be? ----Show 3 more replies A little clarification first: That wikipedia page is rather misleading, but there is no other English source I can use for now. Simply put, the Director's meme infamy is not literally infamy, and he is now a beloved mascot instead of a laughingstock. Many of his ridiculous old commentaries were later proved to be deliberately misguiding, for he was an incumbent rear admiral when he made them. Zhang earned his reputation of being "Director of Strategic Fool-You Agency" for the reasons mentioned above and in the wikipedia. After his retirement, Zhang actively engaged in internet military popsci shows, and guest starred in several official Azur Lane livestream events. The most recent one was on May.9th, where he introduced to his audiences the real history behind Chang Chun, An Shan, Fu Shun, and Tai Yuan. On May.14th, the Azur Lane official channel publicized an official statement on the next big event, and hinting the implementing of Bismarck with the exact words used as the title of this strip. Hence the joke of "implementing Zhang as a playable character."

I can finally go meet that person.

Say, I remember that pink girl made a preview statement for me.
