Fun Fact: You should actually watch the video before commenting. FOR THOSE ASKING ABOUT PR6 SHIPS: - Kearsarge: Similar to Gascogne (i.e. acting like a robot) but not to the same extent, kinda like an AI. Around Cheshire's area. - Shimanto: God complex. She literally believes herself to be the Dragon God. Around Hakuyruu's area.. Mostly harmless, though may get out of hand in extreme circumstances. - Felix Schultz: Superiority complex, similar in vein to Agir. But, it's really just her wanting attention, and trying to get the Commander to fall for her. Around Agir's area. - Hindenburg: Standoffish, literally acting as though she were a demon you summoned and made a contract with. Similar to AvP in the way she acts. Not really a danger, but could be. Around Plymouth's area. - Flandre: Childlike in the sense of her always looking for the approval or confirmation of the Commander. Completely subordinate to the Commander. Possibly dangerous if Commander is lost. Around Anchorage's area.

Every ship: Yeah, a bit off so central or left side Roon: You see that? That's a Hospital, and you're never gonna get out of there

Just gotta point out "a Special Ops unit where her love of murder is useful," is kind of Azur Lane in a nutshell.

Even if she is scary to be around Roon is a reliable weapon i can't imagine someone better to defend a base by only herself against hordes of Sirens, i bet if that was a scene in an animated series the battle would be impressive and fun to watch her go and do what she likes most

The event where they blew up Compiler's mainframe also has Friedrich der Grobe admitting it out loud that she schemes as easy as she breathes and that doting on other people is how she keeps a handle on that bad habit.

August isn't actually dominating.. her skin oath line directly stats that she is submissive, and was using her "dominating" attitude to make the commander show the back to her. Challenging him, in a way, to subdue her

Don't forget, august is only trying to be a dom so youll retaliate and dom her lmfao

I'd say the funniest part of this is how FDG probably sees others are children due to her sort of planning their lives and the overall defense of humanity, seeing it her duty to save her "Children" and allowing them to grow and become independent. May not be the best for a normal military unit, but when you're against someone trying to control and coerce your "children", you could not ask for a better leader against the sirens. As they say, hell hath no fury like a mother scorned.

With Monarch, the worst part is that thanks to hindsight, Monarch's design is what really the British Royal Navy should have gone with the King George V Class Battleship as you can upgrade the QE, Renowns and Hood with Monarch's 15"/45-calibre gund

Gascogne is a unique case. She is either 1. A shipgirl that have a rigid robot-like way of thinking 2. An incomplete shipgirl that is missing her emotion module. I more leaning toward this one as her oath line is about something like installing an emotion module on her. And Anchorage story also make me more certain as a PR ship born with a "defective" part is possible. As Anchorage childlike behaviour is caused by some kind of interference that messed up her way of thinking. Following this logic, Gascogne jusy being a defective shipgirl without emotion module installed on her is more make sense. So instead of a mental illness, she is just a literal mindless robot before we oath her. Her brain is just consist of logical thinking just like an AI. Her emotion folder in her brain is basically empty and everytime we introduce her to a new emotion, a new file is added into it but it's still not properly accessible before the emotion module get installed (which why she is confused by the new feeling that she gets).

The recent U.S. event (parallel superimposition) and it’s run up mini quest (for an item to give to Anchorage) tells us Anchorage is mentally a child do to a large amount of abnormalities in her hull data (which we ultimately seemed to have fixed by events end)

I'mma be honest, I would like to see more... mentally unstable PR ships. Not Roon-level, but more to the insane side, with girls who have more of an existential crisis, or nihilistic point of view because they never had a life, to begin with. Kinda balance out the scale a little bit.

I always interpreted Ibuki’s social anxiety as being partly due to the fact that she was never finished, so she lacks confidence in herself, and in general is adjusting to the idea she can be more than just a weapon of war. Her affection lines and skins do show that she’s come to enjoy her life at port with everyone though, for example mentioning Seattle inviting her to a party in her party dress skin

I think Roon exemplifies her design in her personality. She's a scorpion, and her rigging makes it easier to see. The head being the tail and the shields being her claws. And no matter how sweet she might be, she's still a weapon and killing is why she was made. She can't help it, it's in her nature.

The main issue with the idea that Gascogne is schizophrenic because she "acts like a robot" is the fact she has her emotions suppressed by an external force, one she will tell you about, rather than a neurochemical instability. Take a look at Gascogne Muse for further reference to said suppressor chip, as she sees it as getting in the way of her task. And if you oath her she asks you to turn that function off, something that changes all of her voice lines (aside from the non-love affection lines, because you can't oath a ship that doesn't love you.) And she's the only ship I know of that has post-oath lines for all of her skins, because that suppressor affects her so thoroughly. There's also the fact that they are literal machines, but I imagine we're ignoring that for this analysis, I'll admit to skipping the set up and jumping straight into the meat of the video, so I apologize if you said something to that effect in your intro.

PR series 1: 1. Roon, definitely most insane and psycho. 2. Monarch, sane but sad with her abandoned issues. 3. Ibuki, sane and shy. 4. Izumo, sane but have severe trauma over fire/burning (she is the easiest to sink in WoWS by burning dmg). 5. Saint Louis, sane and religious. 6. Neptune, she's sane but just a bit cheeky. PR series 2: 1. Seattle, sane and wholesome. 2. Georgia, sane but a coke addict. 3. Kitakaze, sane and prideful in a good way. 4. Azuma, sane and wholesome. 5. FDG, she's in mid of sane/insane because of her strong maternal instincts. 6. Gascogne, mid but a bit insane position. PR series 3: 1. Chesire, sane and cute wholesome 2. Mainz, sane but strict and a coffee addict. 3. Odin, sane but quite chuuni. 4. Drake, sane but quite the treasure hoarder. 5. Champagne, sane but quite manipulative. PR series 4: 1. Agir, sane with dominative personality 2. August V.P, sane with dominative personality (hella dangerous ASMR). 3. Marco Polo, sane but just being Marco Polo. 4. Hakuryuu, a bit insane when she has her katana but will change her attitude when her katana is taken away. 5. Anchorage, sane but quite childish. PR series 5: Most of them are sane and normal, but Chkalov is special because she's canonically have segs with you in her oath line.

Mainz constantly forgotten by her artist Worry not Mainz we IB SKK shall never forget thee

04:35 considering Monarch went into a mirror sea all alone trying to find a cure for Hood and this dialogue between Hood and Monarch Hood: Good evening, miss Monarch. Mon: Pleasure meeting you, lady Hood. Are you here to recuperate again? Hood: Only for a while. Like before, there's nothing really wrong with my body. How has it been for you, miss Monarch? Mon: ........... Hood: Judging from your expression, it seems you have a lot to get off your chest. Let's find a place to sit down and talk~ Mon: Lady Hood, my mind is conflicted and confused. Since my birth I've been training here, day after day, doing the same thing over and over. What purpose do I have for existing like this? I practice my swordsmanship everyday, but for what does the sword in my hand swing for? I cannot find the answer to these questions in these static, unchanging days... Narr: Monarch may seem cold at first, but once you know her well enough, you'll find that Monarch is actually very talkative. This isn't the first time Monarch has expressed her deep-rooted confusion and perplexity to hood. Most of the time, Hood simply listens silently, without any rush to either confirm or deny Monarch's words or beliefs. Mon: My apologies, you're here to recover, yet I've just been rambling on about my own things... Hood: The fact that you feel perplexed is proof of your existence. And existence always comes with purpose. Miss Monarch, you simply need more time to find that purpose. Mon: I hope so...then I won't bother your recovery anymore, thank you for listening to me all this time. Hood: Although it is temporary, I do have to stay here by myself for a while now. If you could come and talk with me again tomorrow, that'd be a great help to me~

IDK if the ships need to be put in a mental institution but having to analyse their lines, their character and all other aspects of them must have had you wondering of you need to be put with them. Also there is no mental institution holding Roon for more then 5 seconds.

I would say i agree with most of these. The one i have issue with is Marco Polo. She does not appear to be stable if you read any of the event stories. This could be due to influence of an Arbiter, but she's very Melomaniac and Power Hungry

How many years has it been and even with an entire cast of META ship girls none of them are even barely everslightly close to Roon's levels of problem except Bonhomme Richard META.

With how stable the generations are, it's clear that Roon is an outlier.

Monarch is my first PR ship, love her design and voice. After digging into her backstory because of her voice line, I made her sure that I would never abandon her by giving her my second ring (the first is Renown because PR ships weren’t a thing yet) and bringing her into every battle as my flagship.

Plymouth literally blows up parts of the base almost regularly. Nah she's fairly sane. Laughable. 🤣

I would rank Monarch a bit further right. Her being passed up and discarded underpins her whole personality. From a Juustagram post, she feels like she is barely tolerated, and just a single failure away from being cast aside once again. We see this feeling almost driving her to destruction during Radiant Court.

I genuinely find this content amazing after the touch on rigging and personality anomalies of the Research ships commented on YorkII's event

I would rather point roon in the general direction of my enemies

That Mainz bit at the start cut deep. As someone who Oathed Mainz on Christmas... Big sad

Time to open the can of worms known as META ships

omg Looool 8:35 St Louis "Here we have a french woman. Despite that not being enough to put her into an institution, she's a standard religious warrior." 17:55 Champagne "-as she does need help with issues and may result in a danger to herself... or she could just be french." Regarding Anchorage's mental state. She is truly slow of mind. Being a paper ship means there's always a chance for there to be hiccups in their construction. "The mental states of the PR blueprint ships should gradually mature and stabilize over time after a period of interacting with the Commander." "However, the peculiarities within the blueprint ships' hulls make this process non-linear, with some cases in which this relationship is not very evident at all." "For example, some aspects of Anchorage's personality cannot be explained through psychological analysis. Some of the information elements that compose her hull display some irregular discrete patterns." "Such phenomena have been observed in other blueprint shipgirls, but typically, contact with the Commander combined with the passage of time will typically work in tandem to reinforce the hull, eliminating these irregularities." (This points to why we have to provide so many blueprints.) The reason why Anchorage calls you "Teacher" might have something to do with the peculiarities of her hull. We don't know if she even perceives you to be her "Commander." From what we've observed in the past, when blueprint ships are first brought into being, a large amount of observable but undecipherable information blocks appear in their hulls. One of the Sea of Stars' research objectives was to analyze the contents of these information blocks, but they quickly merge and reorganize as their minds stabilize. But, Anchorage seems to be different. Despite having "stabilized," she still exhibits these anomalies. From the Causality Transposition event. This event led into the Yorktown II event. Parallel Superimposition

Okay you've genuinely helped me, I've on purposely skipped PR 2 and went straight for PR 3 with Cheshire and Drake, after getting who I wanted in PR 1 cause I had no idea who I wanted in PR 2. But being the Coke'a Cola lover that I am myself, Georgia sounds perfect for me. While I love my Ironblood girls as well I just wasn't fond of Fred's design and with you explaining her Mothering Disorder, I think I can do with out that... Thanks a bunch!

Yeah Roon is what we would call a Yangire type character. They're typically a murderous psychopath and Roon would very much be on the deep end of that but she hasn't killed anyone of the Azur Lane cast of ship girls yet.

3:45 Hell, she may just be a Dom and the Commander just indulges her. 5:28 Nothing out of the ordinary. 6:58 Something tells me she'd just somehow find a way to either work while on vacation or sneak back to base. 7:18 She's got more things wrong with her than an already unstable Clanner with an Enhanced Imagine Neural Implant. Saying she has a few screws lose is like saying Capellans are disliked. Seriously, this girl is like if Herr Major was mentally unstable and had FAR too much firepower to satisfy the Murder Boner. 8:40 Dear God... Don't tell me this one has also escaped from Icarus Armories' Woman Containment Facility too! 9:29 She's a far better Paladin or Crusader than Darkness... 10:15 Fairly normal. 11:26 Ah, a simple Adrenaline Jockey then. 11:56 Oh... Well that's fair. 12:22 She should probably talk to someone. 12:55 Still better than Roon... 14:12 Once again, still better than Roon. 14:57 She could also just be into Pet Play, which given that she's on a Naval base makes her attitude highly unprofessional. 16:22 Still, if it was it's for the third time better than Roon. 17:03 Relatable, especially with current events. 17:41So she acts like a Government Sponsored Pirate? That's not too bad. 18:38 She's gonna need a long talk with a therapist. 19:08 So a Proud Warrior Race type. 19:25 And slightly Chuuni. 19:36 Better than a Dwarven Noble, at least she does something. 19:57 She should probably have a handler just to be safe. 20:16 Still better than Roon, also make sure her sword is safe and with her. 20:46 So does Gilgamesh in his Archer form. 20:57 Or she may just be a little bit like Kotomine Kirei since he also says "rejoice" a lot. 21:04 Tomboys are fine, we need more Tomboys in media. 21:11 She, like Izumo, may try and keep working while on vacation. 21:20 If The List for XCOM has taught me anything it's that The Great Commandy One will be deified regardless. 21:34 So far it's only Roon, and she's so far on the "Insane" side she may as well be on a separate page.

Left: doesn't need fixing(headpat) Middle: I can fix her Right: don't even try

It's ironic how the 2 Best tanks un the Game (roon and agir) are oposites, one is normal and the other one it's the Joker Made shipgirl (in the most extreme cases)

For Roon, yes she does need to be closely monitored, but as long as the Commander is around her allies won't have to worry about her going rogue. It's only if something happens to the Commander do the inhabitants of the base need to be very wary.

Alert: B sector has been locked down due to the Subject known as Roon having breached containment. In order to minimalize casualties, no mobile task forces will be deployed for containment. Personnel in B sector are now on their own. DO NOT GO TRY TO HELP PERSONNEL IN BE SECTOR. ANY PERSONNEL WHO APPROACH B SECTOR WILL BE NUTEALIZED. REPEAT: DO NOT GO TRY TO HELP PERSONNEL IN BE SECTOR

I believe the reason for Roon's obsession with violence and killing is because when she was conceptualized by Wargaming, all they had for Roon were the turrets and the rest of the ship was a Nurnberg copypasta. Since her design was literally just a weapon and nothing else, therefore her crave for violence is her dominant (if not only) personality trait.

Odin having anxiety would make sense as Norse Odin has anxiety, kinda setting in motion the start of raganarok

Fun character analysis of the PR ships. Definitely worth the watching.

Sometimes, all they ever need is a hug.

I know My Lovable Prinz Ruppercht so well, and she Quite Tsun Personality and Cares for her Commander alot and that's how i Fall in love with her

French ppl be like "I sense a disturbance in La Force..."

"Cheshire might believe she is a cat" No, she's literally just a weeb. I'm guessing.

7:12 "Have i ever told you the definition of insanity?"

This man is just subtly roasting his entire fanbase and im here for it

20:08 I feel yeah Anchorage do have learning disabilities as in pre & on Yorktown II event it's show how she speak that she speak almost like child like innocent, then also the story on pre-event of Yorktown II (I think) show the commander reading her a child story It's not an act that she is fully are child on adult body

Good to know the PR ships of the Iris Libre faction are all good since that is my most favorite division in the game.

I like how roon is the only PR ship that is Insane that even a insane person fears her

I personally think friedrich should be further right as if we think about her personality she would most likely rampage or at best have a destructive breakdown if she lost a child (we can thank that one guy who makes really good comics about Azur lane for this)

holy shit your content is amazing and you need more subs

Medicating a shipgirl for being religious. Got itttttttt

so don't oath roon because she cray cray, keep anchorage safe from the world 'cause she's functionally our daughter and lock your wallet when drake is involved.

Thank you.

Now this is a fun video! Be interested to see you "somewhat" cover Blue archive, even if a 5 mins video. Keep it up my man!

Now I'm curious about a sequel to this video where it covers every ship.

Dokutah during Friedrich and Marco analysis: "I'm disregarding lore."

YOU DIDN’T NEED TO FLAME THE FRENCH 8:35

Mainz: sane until you add sugar and cream to coffee. ...She's sharing a dorm room with Roon.

And then we get Fool's scales, showing that Marco is more on the right side if anything else.

Marco Polo: “Harmless over all” She then proceeds to almost destroy the world after scheming deviously for several events.

I originally gunned for Anchorage as my first PR ship when I first got AL because she looked awesome and I was obsessed with fallout it felt like a perfect ship. Imagine my surprise when I finally got her and she acted like a clueless child. I oathed her.

dunno what the video contains, just wanted to say that i love gascogne and her adorable lines she gets after oath

Dear Lord, I never thought of Freddy META.

Damn, this is a mental hospital, not a competent military

omg i loved watching this

Roon is a battle junkie. Once she is off the battlefield, she is pretty sane.She is devoted to the commander. She has stated she will only listen to the commanders orders. This means always giving Roon direct orders on who to follow and keeping comms open with her at all times.

You have the voice of a lecturing college professor so hearing you say words like "Yandere" gives me whiplash lmao

While it's not in any of her voice lines, IIRC Izumo shows some Pyrophobia in a Juustagram post. Might need to work on that.

11:00 I’d just like to point out, Georgia was never intended to replace the Iowas. She’s was one of the potential designs for what would become the Iowa-class, much like Monarch was an alternate design to the KGVs

saving the distances, it could be said that Roon is the closest thing to a stereotypical n4 zi, that we have in Azur Lane

Great video

Enjoyed it. I do think the music was a bit loud at times and made you hard to hear.

It feels like Roon finished 1st in the 1000m Shikikan race

roon is my first ship to be fate 5 😂

Roon is a complete basket case. But when in battle she cant be stopped

These video getting out of hand but I love them Edit: I only play the JP version and didn’t know Roon was crazy maybe I should’ve played en before using the ring.

Marco Polo needs an update after what happened.....

I did like St. Louis' reaction to the chaplin in Akagi2.

I'm late to commenting here, however I've got news. With PR6 recently coming online, I'm wondering where Shimanto, Flandre, Felix Shultz, Hindenburg, and Kearsarge would go on your Mental Stability chart?

@Dokutah Shikikan 8:15 Good. The crazier the fighter, the better the chance I survive XD

Love the video, and I agree with most of your placements. Only one I might contest is FdG, who's probably slightly more sane then you give her credit for, maybe more on par with Cheshire.

8:19 Recommendation: consciousness termination.

roon is insane? who knew? XD

I have a theory, the prs (well except for champagne, Gasconge, haku and brest) were all human. Some examples are, Roon was a serial killer and she was experimented on as a part of her penalty, Fdg is the mother of the current (IB, probably) commander and wife of the previous one. Her husband died during her pregnancy so she was the commander for a while. Brest and Haku are manifested dieties and champange is a doll that has been given life. Also an asulum skin for Roon would be dope. Also, I think that ancho is in the same boat (pun intended) as Inui Shinjū from My dressup darling being that she is just physically overdeveloped

its funny how as a person who doesnt play this game the only ship girl here who ive heard of is roon the most unstable of the entire list

Anchorage in other games: Normal Ship Anchorage in Azur Lane: *One Mcnamara's 100000 vessels*

I can fix her

18:54 Me after playtesting Ägir: *my life is a lie?*

Good vid

knowing Roon, she is more then a danger to anyone....she need to be lock up and only allow out if she has 30 armed bodyguards and seven battlefleet all task to stopped her the second she goes full on berzerked

I bet Roon enjoys Huey Lewis and The News

ah yes, so here we have (almost) every PR shipgirl... and then theres Roon

Could you please Do PR6?? TwT

Mommy Azuma ❤❤!!!!

They are all just like me fr

I like Mainz, because i also think it´s blasphemy to drink coffee with milk and sugar

Roon need some friend with her

With the exception of the use of the false word "irregardless" this is very good!

Hold up, Ägir is perfectly sane?
