My Top 5 Moments in Azur Lane Lore! | Azur Lane Lore 

"Knowing too much can also be a curse if you only know but are powerless to act" bro that is absolutely legendary line

My absolute favourite moment was when FDG lists everything she did when leading the iron blood to compiler and said that it was all a gamble and she had won all of them. It was like the best way to assert dominance to everyone.

My favorite in-lore moment? Zuikaku's big fucking hero moment during Rondo. The Union, RN, and Iron Blood are all fighting Compiler. Akagi has ordered the SE to stay back as everyone rushes off to what may be inevitable death. What does the homie do? "Hey Akagi, they kinda shot at us, so we can fight back, right?" She and the bois then immediately hop into the fray, with Akagi basically going "as expected... Ah fuck it, why not!" Then, when Compiler tries to use her illusory powers and makes the SE see a truly life-like experience of their port-timeline deaths, what does Zuikaku do? "You know theyre not real, right?" "Yeah, I know." BOOM goes Compiler's illusions and any doubts I had about the quality of Rondo. This is the same Zui that was getting utterly dogged by Observer in like a 5-6 v 1 and was powerless to stop Ember during the Diadem of Light situation. Shes come hella far now, huh? Sasuga, true main character.

My favorite was Bismarck’s return. A sleeper moment would be U-556 fulfilling her oath and saving Bismark, an oath that is lifted from the pages of history.

Dreamwallkers Butterfly was one of my fav's. One of her flashbacks when she was unarmed and only escorted by a handful of destroyers was really sad.

1) U-556 trying to save Biscko hit me like a truck in the feels. 2) The Leviathans being teased 3) Humanity’s “last stand” in that one NP event. 4) Victorious and Tirpitz. This started my slide down the Anti-Royal Navy stance that would be finalized in 5. 5) Sinking of Dunkerque. That whole event helped solidify my position as #TeamCrimsonAxis

One of my favourite moments is near the end of Visitor Dyed in Red with the Shoukaku pawn. Just the fact that the soulless and mindless pawn comes to the rescue of her supposed sister is just absolutely amazing to me.

In my heart it always will be "The Golden Doubulin" mini event the best one with that wild dream the Bulin had.

The moments that brought tears to my eyes is when they had to relive their alternate endings through Compilers ability, especially when you headpat Saratoga after she sees what happened during operation crossroads(it feels like they missed an opportunity to not include a few lines for Eugene since she was also sent there). Can we expect to see another story compilation by the end of this year?

3:42 I wish to note that while you appear to not mention it Amagi was not entirely altruistic. She shared some of Kaga's feelings over not wanting to become a carrier and go out on her own terms as a big gun ship. That said, being the wiser, more intelligent of the three fox sisters (sorry Tosa) she didn't let that feeling overwhelm her. 7:24 While Akagi is one of the leaders of the Sakura Empire it is in more of a Evil Vizier/Shogun role. So some Megalomania is to be expected.

There was a line in Rondo that implied that our timelines Bismark had safely gone META. While interesting story wise, it seems like it's foreshadowing how Yostar is going to make old favorites relevant again in the face of all the power creep.

While i love a handfull of events and moments of the Azur Lane history, i can say with ease at heart that my favorite moment is on the first time a Siren appears in a CG(IRC) that was during the Scherzo of Iron and Blood, on the Third Movement - Great Longing, when Observer appears to speak with Bismarck. And that frase she says to Bismarck ("Humankind, much like a tree, wishes to grow to reach the clouds; the light; the Heavens. As its branches grow, its roots do, too. Deeper and deeper into the ground; into darkness; towards Hell.")i still remember what i felt the fist time i read it and i just fell in love for this game.

Bismack return is my favorite, personally i think that was the most epic moment in the game so far.

Georgia when asked about Dragon Empery: "The who?" Kind if an apt response considering the factors...still made me laugh though. Also, Lutzow goes "What the heck is an aircraft carrier?" and then her and Thüringen straight up destroying Queen Elizabeth. Also, there's Impero being.... weird.

my best moment is ofc the stand off Bismarck against HMS. this event cemented my admiration on her because how she's portrayed in the story. and that event is the beginning of Metamorphosis deviance. while Khronstadt escape the metamorphosis through remembering her friends, Bismarck does that also with the weight of knowing that she has to alter her own fate. Operation Convergence IMO sheds this light by hinting that Bismarck must survive (but also must be sunk) to course correct history so it will not became a failure world/history. also, to this day, i still cry shed tears hearing Bismarck final battle OST. she did her part, reenacting the history with the mind to sacrifice herself to the nation and to humanity. her last regrets about her sisters also add the salts to the wound.

Yeah that B.Richard story was fuckin crazy, I was like yo wtf are they dealing with, what faction is this, and so on

Good video. Personally I would have included Dreamwallkers Butterfly #31 where Shinano see's a 'Leviathan' which introduces the idea that there is something worse than the Sirens out there. Also most of the 'flashback' scenes in Khorovod are pretty lore heavy with Humanity losing a battle against an unknown enemy while making use of AI that just happen to look a lot like Sirens. Finally, not cutscenes but the intelligence files from Operation Siren do contain some very tasty stuff regarding the origins of Wisdom Cube tech , Kansen development, the backstory of BonHomme Richard and my personal favourite - Cold War escalation: Note 3 'Strange hauls from the Deep Sea'. Keep the lore goodness coming!

I definitely didn’t crank the Sabaton music when I read about Bismark’s return.

I dont even follow the story and I really enjoyed this. It has given me new appreciation for the characters. I hope you make more lore content like this :)

I'm not particularly a lore guy, but Shinano being the first UR.. I just had to read the event story. Add to that the amazing soundtrack, which is probably my favorite soundtrack for Azur Lane.. It's just wonderful. Sleepy floof best girl.

My favorite lore moments are all 3 Soviet Union event since they’re the ones the had the most story development and the defeat of Compiler during the WW1 event because, it’s the most significant thing that’s happened lore wise ever since the game launched.

Hey look man, Akagi just wanted to role paly as Caligula and declare war on the ocean.

Allying with Hiryuu META against the arbiters is my favorite moment, specially when Sail Away Justice (the battle menu theme) starts playing and it turns into a scene straight out of a shonen anime. Btw, why not do a top 5 of the secretary quests?

The scene where FDG just revives the old shipgirls from WW1 gave me the chills, but Bismarck's comeback is still one of the best scenes out there

New jersey roasting Yamato

My fave moment was when in the Scapa Flow event there were flashbacks to our world's events like operation crossroads or scuttling of the hochseeflotte. And the Purifier going all out versus Bon Homme Richard, while the shipgirls are like, lests GTFO !

Good work as always, I actually like the list that you have given, since majority of them are all bigger and expanding lore, which reveals that there is more threat than the siren itself. Very nice, personal favorite would be Rondo's End event. Now when Lore Part 2?

Something talks me that Crimson Echos setup a lot thing for Amagi to back also with Compiler coming back does throws what Rondo at Rainbow's End gave us out of the window of her "permanent death"

Loved the video. I would have to agree with you and say that Shinano’s event was my favorite. It was really interesting to see the other ‘dreams’ and how she can interact with them. Plus the amount of lore and implications in that event was massive. Video idea: maybe top 5 favorite funny moments, whether from the main storyline or from the side events and collabs. That one should be a fun one.

1.Ink-Stained Steel Sakura Nagato 2.Dreamwaker's Butterfly Shinano 3.Khorovod of Dawn's Rime I am really interested to see what happen if there more to this part 4.Aquilifer's Ballade great event Trento meta just there and Marco Polo is fucking insane 5.Operation Convergence stupid powerful pawn UVH

All of Repulse's moment should be the entire list

My favorite would be Compiler's defeat 2nd Bismarck's return. Mostly because they're just tied together in the same event. These events help set the stage for Azure lane's true reunification and achieving a true victory over the sirens. Because as we all know even if we destroy them they have many bodies that they could reuse Basically making an Aggravating cycle to A-war that has no end.

OOhhhh, Rondo. What an incredibly good event that one was. Looking forward to the next (Sakura) event, I really wonder what happend since we visited them :)

Will there be another lore video picking up where the previous ended? As long as it was I really enjoyed it. The story made much more sense after watching.

Love the bored Eldredge background

FDG sweeping the banner with a 100% drop rate is my personal favourite

For an antagonist that's out to destroy everything, the sirens aren't doing a good job imo. Which makes me think that maybe they're not antagonists at all? Maybe they're one of the first if not THE first version of the shipgirls?

I really like the Story so far video, I understand it lots of work on 3 hrs video. but maybe you can just do it from you left off, just story of this year. Sometime I got lost in the story and very confused but your video make me to understand it so I really hope you will do it again in the future.

Well, this needs to be updated… :D

I still wonder why noone was thinking about possible sirens' actions in response to highest class error in their network in this world (disabling compiler)?

have you done any vids on Agir at all? I hope there are some vids you can make for her, also love the channel it's gotten me back into Azur Lane many times

“…this list is based on the events as of the time of this release…” Oh, for shame! I expected better from you, sir! But seriously, I love this, and in condensing the lore of Azur Lane (ie not going through all of it in real time, you beautiful maniac!) you do us a great service.

Best video so far @Hawk2Zer0! I loved what I saw so far. Can't wait to finish it! Love you Hawk! Keep it up!

Hey Lore Master, remind me of a few things: First, after the battle with the 3 Arbiters, META Hiryuu gave something to the Commander, right? I don't think it was ever said what. Did they ever use it, or is it still a mystery? Second, remind me about the whole "real" Akagi and Kaga. I know there was mention after their "deaths" they came across the shore with (or was it without?) a brooch, which tells us the ones we're dealing with now are Pawns?

Ftw oberkomando west oops! Wrong game I meant ironblood

my favourite part is when purifier turned herself into a kaiju and we had to team up with the SSSS girls to battle her

Loved the video @Hawk2zer0! Can't wait for the next video man! Any thoughts on the New Ship Girls that just Arrived with the Anniversary Event? I'm just Glad my Daughter by Eugen, Little Eugen has Both of her Aunts now that Blücher has finally made it into Azur Lane! I'm still hopeful that the Following Ship Girls will get their Historic Retrofits.... Essex-class Aircraft Carriers: USS Yorktown (CV-10), USS Hornet (CV-12), USS Lexington (CV-16), USS Wasp (CV-18) and USS Princeton (CV-37) *Yes, I know Princeton would be our second Post-war Essex sister being completed to a Modified and Modernized Design, but she still is eligible for it* Independence-class Light Aircraft Carriers: USS Langley (CVL-27) Baltimore-class Heavy Cruisers: USS Quincy (CA-71), USS Helena (CA-75), USS Chicago (CA-136) and, if she ever gets added to Royal Navy or even brings the Australian Navy into the Game, USS Canberra (CA-70) Cleveland-class Light Cruisers: USS Vincennes (CL-64), USS Houston (CL-81), USS Astoria (CL-90), and USS Atlanta (CL-104) Don't get me started on the Fletcher and Allen M. Sumner Sisters since that's about 200 Ships to go through and make a List on it's own. I will admit that I am still toying with the idea of having the Sirens come into the Stormworks: Build and Rescue Community with the Weapons DLC as a Halloween Themed Feature for the Add-on that gives the AI Forces Inventory a Massive Boost. Hope you like the Ideas man, I spent about an hour typing this up and I'll catch you in your next video!

One thing I know from Siren is the way they make Experiments and data gathering, we already know how they are terrifyingly powerful and can obliterate any Kansen if they go all out but instead, they proceed to test every timeline and making test procedure to gain the said "Perfection", now today's event that the kansen powerful figures are making their own spotlights, it seems we are getting closer and closer to the main phase, what I'm waiting for is the future PRs spotlights since they are powerful figures that the siren never encounter in different timelines, along with the other Kansens that never been built completely and how their existence can give more hope and push to every faction, many timelines falls from experiment due to internal conflict orchestrated by history and Sirens trial and error testing, and not to mention if AL Devs will also includes the *SUPER SHIPS* from Wows in future collaboration. I'm just imagining Clausewitz and Hannover's terrifyingly presence while making a casual talk with Hindenburg, Preussen and Manfred Von Richtoffen who is already a powerful figures of iron blood, same for Satsuma making a tea ceremony with Yamato.

First 2 seconds and I see Taihou, nice 👌 Also, great video and I'm sure the next year will be just as great 👍

What I love the Lore is Prinz Eugen and Kronshtadt is in there cuz i loved Them Both🥰

The whole story of pledge of the Radiant court for me

Someone please hug Eldritch, she looks like she needs a recharge.

How do i do the other endings in chapter 5 on opsin?

I'll see if there are any youtube videos on it, but since I play on the JP server, I don't know much on the story side of things. That said, what is going on in the story with Marco Polo? My love. lol

I hope this year will be fantastic to you as well!

Hawk we don't need a 3hr lore video as you've already done the groundwork last year covering previous events. Be nice though to have a shorter catch up on this years events though to keep the story updated. The live streams are fine to watch but also have a lot of discussion between cut scenes that slows the unfolding lore down. Maybe just doing a yearly catchup where videos are between 45mins to 1hr around this time of year would help keep everyone updated and lore story a bit more together.

I'm so angry JP doesn't get the memories thingy, only EN seems to have got it >:(

I don't know, why i miss hololive special furniture

my good i foud ur channel too late, i have less free time but this is whort it, thanks!

LORE

come on, do it again !!! part 2 pls

this is why am still waiting for Amagi oath skin with more than 3 rings

vangard event story ended up as bad as it was on en because hms were whining and the event was rushed out of every other event most traslation problems or inconcitencys were there to small to really matter to the story or were just saying the same thing in a more coherent way
