Is this not the first time Maso-TTK has ever put on a fearful expression?
... Yeah, this is the first time other than a certain moment in the Murakumo-centric spin-off and his recent dilemma regarding Zuihou's cooking falling to the ground that he's clearly not enjoying or looking forward to a particular form of suffering. I guess the Night Battle Maniac is too much even for him.
I mean, really, consider that he's the guy who looks forward to eating Hiei and Isokaze's Food of Doom, both at the same time. And I really mean "looks forward"; his expression had a positively masochistic grin at the time. Here, he looks absolutely terrified, with not a hint of enjoyment (masochistic or otherwise).
Night battles are just the best!FUHAHAHAHAHAAdmiral....
Hurry...In addition, the surrounding Abyssal ships were completely wiped out, and the Nikkei's average rose,let's have a night battle♥There are still no conclusive theories as to what occurred on that night.The following morning, the Admiral was found a changed man.
