'''''Second Upgrade'''''

*Hatsushimo Kai Ni gains a blue hachimaki along with a new (piped) blazer. In this outfit, she's forgone her tie, rolled up her sleeves and appears to have followed in the example of [[Yahagi]] and [[Yamato]] (two of her Operation Ten-Ichi-Gō comrades), wearing one thigh-high sock on the left leg and her usual on the right.

*Unlike her real-life counterpart, she's kept her single-turret 12.7cm gun and appears to have opted for the installation of a [[wikipedia:QF_2-pounder_naval_gun#QF_2-pounder_Mark_II|40mm 2-pounder single-turret]] as well, another gun the real Hatsushimo had replaced with 25mm AA weaponry. Like her latewar self, however, a [[Type 13 Air RADAR|Type 13 RADAR]] has been affixed to her mainmast. This old equipment being retained is perhaps a reference to gameplay more than anything; the loss of her single turret would serve to reduce her firepower considerably ([[Shigure]] similarly keeps her own single turret in her second remodel). The Vickers 40mm gun's heavier rounds could be more effective than the Hotchkiss 25mm's against Abyssal planes, which have sloped armour and tend to fly lower than the ones she fended off in real life, but that much is debatable.
