Upon kai ni, Akebono's outfit is still essentially the same as her first remodel's, only adding a pair of black gloves and a black choker: the most obvious difference if she's not depicted with her battle rig.
Her rigging has been upgraded with AA guns (two 25 mm triple mounts, one on each side of her funnel rig), with her main gun being a 12.7 cm twin gun mount Type 89 attached to a rifle stock and augmented with 12.7 mm light machine guns. She also gains a pouch attached to her belt with some depth charges attached. Her rig attachment straps are also colored grey with a Type 13 radar on her left side.
