Zuikaku serves as a Super Rare aircraft carrier within the Sakura Empire’s Shoukaku-class, embodying a traditional Japanese aesthetic through her attire. Her outfit blends a long-sleeved, hooded kimono adorned with floral patterns, vibrant red hakama, and accessories such as black thigh straps and slippers in red-and-silver hues. Her brown hair, streaked with orange highlights, cascades in a high ponytail, while yellow eyes accentuated by orange eyeliner underscore her cultural motifs. Initially framed as a rival to Enterprise in prior narratives, her arc in *Slow Ahead!* showcases evolving dynamics. Collaborating with Shoukaku and allies to construct an outdoor hot spring exemplifies her shift from confrontational tendencies toward cross-faction cooperation, illustrating her adaptability and growing emphasis on camaraderie over solitary combat pursuits. Her personality merges steadfast idealism with playful camaraderie. Though driven by competitive resolve, *Slow Ahead!* highlights her approachable demeanor through witty banter and collaborative efforts. She prioritizes collective security, urging unity against threats like the Sirens, which cements her role as a stabilizing force within the Sakura fleet. Combat mechanics mirror her narrative themes: synergistic skills with Shoukaku enhance aviation capabilities and survivability, while a faction-based ability amplifies her damage output alongside three Sakura allies, reinforcing her identity as a linchpin of teamwork. Beyond battle, her in-game presence spans events such as Visitors Dyed in Red, where she was acquirable via combat or construction. While her historical engagements inform her lore, *Slow Ahead!* shifts focus to daily life, emphasizing interpersonal bonds over wartime exploits to broaden her characterization.
