Jintsu (Kantai Collection)
"Jintsu" is one of the Kanmusu appearing in "Kantai Collection -KanColle-," modeled after Jintsu, the second ship of the Sendai-class light cruisers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. In the game, her elegant appearance and serious personality—cool yet deeply loyal to the Admiral—have garnered popularity among many players. Notably, due to her historically significant achievements in night battles, she is also set in the game as a Kanmusu with high night battle capabilities, earning her the nickname "Jintsu of the Night Battle." This characteristic is reflected in her skills and stats, making her excellent in night battle firepower and accuracy, often playing a crucial role in conquering high-difficulty events. In 2018, her further enhanced form, "Kai Ni," was implemented, further boosting her performance and presence. The theme of "fireworks" this time is expected to bring out a new side of her, conveying summer emotion, different from her usual dignified combat appearance, attracting great anticipation and attention within the fan community. Deepening characters and expressing seasonality are some of the reasons why "KanColle" has been loved for a long time, and the combination of Jintsu's Japanese beauty and fireworks precisely embodies this charm.
Kanmusu (Fleet Girls)
"Kanmusu" (艦娘) is a general term for characters in "Kantai Collection -KanColle-" who are personifications of Imperial Japanese Navy ships as beautiful girls. They form the core element of the game, and players, as "Admirals," assign them as secretaries, form fleets, and send them on various missions and expeditions. Each Kanmusu has unique personality, appearance, character, and abilities based on the original ship's type (battleship, aircraft carrier, heavy cruiser, destroyer, etc.) and historical facts. For example, specific Kanmusu might excel in night battles or have high reconnaissance capabilities depending on their historical achievements. They are characterized by fighting while wearing "Gisou" (armament), which are modeled after the original ships' weaponry. Kanmusu are nurtured and strengthened by the Admiral, sometimes undergoing "remodeling" to acquire new appearances and abilities. The current topic of "Jintsu Fireworks" is a typical example where a specific Kanmusu (Jintsu) reveals new charm through seasonal events or limited graphics. The diverse appeal of Kanmusu and the enjoyment of seasonal changes are major factors that deeply immerse players in "KanColle," and their appearances always become a big topic in the fan community.
