ryuuhou kai ni (kancolle)

Refers to the second remodel of Ryuuhou, released on April 22, 2020. Comes in standard CVL Kai Ni and an alternate Kai Ni (E) specializing in ASW/night ops.

She obtained her second remodels with the 8th anniversary update and with it, came much improved stats and a new outfit. Unusually, she gets the Kai Ni E remodel before Kai Ni and not after. Either way, both outfits consists of an integral mix of her old serafuku and something similar to Zuihou's outfit: she keeps the skirt but the sailor collar is integrated to a tabard-like garment, which is overlaid over a kimono top with lace-attached sleeves and cross trim. She keeps the tie and the muneate but the yugake is replaced by fingerless gloves on both hands, the magatama necklace also became an earring. Her single knee armor is now a full-on greave and her pantyhose is open at the big toe area for some reason, exposing her right big toe and left big and index toes. Her flight deck is now a rigid type like the others. Her headband is changed to one akin to the Japan Post emblem, with a hinomaru flanked by a single red stripe.

Kai Ni E (post #4480983) has her in camouflage colors, being in three different shades of green (top and collar middle panel is light, tabard is medium, collar, skirt and trim is dark). Her flight deck has a camouflage pattern (the same pattern as in Kai but more accurate to real life) and, as the "E" implies, is lit for night battle operations. Her whale has moved to her tabard, on the lower left corner.

Kai Ni (post #4482383) has her back to her magenta color scheme with the skirt, collar and trimming being colored as such. The ribbon trim and lacing is now a deep red. Her whale is now absent and is replaced with a cherry blossom motif.

In both cases, her second remodels correct the historical deficiencies of the original Ryuuhou (as reflected in her kai form) by boasting double the plane capacity and slightly better armor values. However, she requires a prototype catapult for the first second remodel (Kai to Kai Ni E) as she never historically received further upgrades after mid-1944.
