- ↑ Her verbal tic '-poi' translates into making something an approximation. This is in reference to her achievements being in question.
- ↑ Ironbottom Sound was named because of the sheer number of sinkings in the area during World War 2. Yuudachi sank here during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal.
- ↑ This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.
- ↑ As in who should she target.
- ↑ In her final battle, her engine was disabled. So the Captain Kikkawa ordered his men to 'raise the sails' using hammocks to keep up the morale.
- ↑ Kikkawa Kiyoshi was her final captain.

Character
Seiyuu: Yumi Tanibe
Artist: Kujou Itiso (玖条イチソ)
Appearance
Yuudachi wears a black seirafuku shared with the majority of the girls of her ship class. She has straight long blonde hair with a hair ribbon on top, as well as green eyes. She also wears long black socks and brown shoes.
2nd Upgrade
Yuudachi's second remodel reflects her accomplishments in the Guadalcanal Campaign, where she assisted in sinking two destroyers and later damaged a cruiser before being sunk herself.
Her hair becomes messy and gains a hair clip and a reddish tint. Her eyes are now red and her clothes become more ornate. Her artist tweeted that the "flaps" on her hair was to reflect her "lunatic hound (狂犬)"-like history during her final battle. (Compare her kai ni design with Shigure's.) Yuudachi also gains a sail with a white flag attached to it.
Personality
Yuudachi's personality, according to Tanibe Yumi in her interview, is cheerful and very carefree, which is reflected especially in her "poi" lines. She has also noted that while Yuudachi does show a hint of an aggressive tone in her personality when she gets her Kai Ni Remodel, she however still retains the same cheerful, carefree mannerism which she has carries with her through her upgrade.
Original ship
- Sunk 13 November 1942 off Savo Island (09°14′S 159°52′E).
- The wreck was discovered in 1992 by Dr. Robert Ballard.
- Claimed assisted kills on USS Gregory and USS Little.
- Fourth of ten Shiratsuyu class destroyers.
- Yuudachi was in fact sank by enemy forces (USS Portland) despite failed attempts to scuttle her.
In-game Tips
Yuudachi is one of the few destroyers that can be fully remodeled at an early level making her one of the first ships admirals will likely upgrade to Kai Ni. In turn she also turns out to be one of the early ships that many players will likely resort to considering useful for many situations in battle. Due to her high firepower, Yuudachi is strong enough to engage in battle and possible take down Light Cruisers and on rarer occasions Ri-class Heavy Cruisers. Because of this, she is often considered resourceful for battle.
Thanks for her high firepower and torpedo strength she can also be very strong in night battle. While she can be used for torpedo cut-ins (assuming you build up her luck), it is commonly preferred to keep her armed for double attacks since there are other ships that can more reliably perform torpedo cut-ins.
However, if you have other ships that can fill in her position, then using her with an Torpedo Cut-in Setup is encouraged if her luck is high as she has the highest night battle damage stats of any destroyer currently within the game.
She can also be considered resourceful for farming 12.7cm Twin Mount Type-B Kai 2s if you need to collect them for modifications or to simply arm ships with better guns since she is very common and requires a low level to be fully upgraded.
Appearances in derivative works
- Yuudachi appears in the anime adaption of Kantai Collection as a part of Torpedo Squad 3, alongside the Sendai sisters and Mutsuki. She helps welcome Fubuki to shared quarters with Mutsuki.
Trivia
- Her name means "sudden evening shower".
- Occasionally, she will end her sentences with "Poi".
- Received her Kai Ni on October 16, 2013
- Yuudachi's white sail was incorrectly seen as a flag of surrender, a fact that angered the Americans when she kept on fighting despite raising it. This sail can be seen in her K2 artwork, and reflects the significance. This eventually led to Yuudachi being sunk by USS Portland when she actually surrendered. The captain of the USS Portland was quoted to issue the order of "Sink the S.O.B" to which the gunnery officer obeyed, sinking the disabled (but evacuated) remnants of Yuudachi.
