Ru-class Battleship...I haven't forgotten the horror and carnage you have caused to me and my girls, nor have my hatred for you subsided. That damn smirk, those menacing eyes that showed no mercy as you crushed my fleet with ease before proceeding to rub it in my face as you run away. Every time we go into night battle, I can still see you from a distance. Jeering, laughing at us. I can send entire fleets of BBs and CVs to destroy you but you've never shown worry nor fear, like we have.
I hate you Ru-class. I hate you with every fiber of my being...but deep down, I...I've always long for you as well...Your existence gives me a reason to become stronger and stronger, so that one day we can finally destroy you.
Ru-class is my favorite abyssal, especially after how freaking awesome and intimidating she looked in one of her close-up shots in episode 4. I kind of want South Dakota, my favorite battleship, to be a Ru-class.
