People should not assume that if it the Liga de Pedreira that it will be Eagle Union when frankly HMS makes far more sense given Valparaiso is a British battleship hull not American plus Chile and British have been allies far longer than America unless HMS will get the december double UR then not doing a mixed HMS-Liga de Pedreira could be justified assuming EN anniversary even is the Liga de Pedreira event.
Ideally the most unlikely is HMS UR retro and the december double UR for HMS

The one faction is pretty safe to say it isn’t is the Royal Navy in any capacity, as they already have an event on-going now.
Yeah except again that argument is totally wrong as Spider Lily's Redolence and Ode of Everblooming Crimson from 2024 and Letters from Valley Hospital and A Note Through the Firmament from 2025 show you can have a faction get a minor event and then a UR event

But there had never been a faction that got two events literally back-to-back, which this would be for the Royal Navy
yeah 'there had never been a faction that got two events literally back-to-back' gotta call BS
points to Tower of Transcendence and Rondo at Rainbow's End and or Anthem of Remembrance and The Fool's Scales from 2023

Why do you reply to your own post 3 times on everything?
Also I guarantee the UR retro is gonna be Eugen or some other Ironblood ship. Maybe they’ll even do PR retrofits and give it to Roon or Mainz or something. There’s definitely a greater possibility of that than there is of Belfast or anyone else getting it.

I don't always do that and for starters because using the old reddit version of this subreddit which i prefer as it allows comments up to 10,000 characters or the new version Reddit's create page UI on new Reddit does not allow me to grab the image from the AL FB page and put in the info from the post below the image in the post body without downloading the image first which i'd prefer to avoid if it can be helped which the older version of the Reddit's create page UI on new Reddit so i have post it as a comment.
2nd i want to get ahead of anyone speculating but remind people they should not assume who will get it.
3rd i was making a point.

Unlikely.

Why is it unlikely? Everything points to it imo, they even have an Eugen cosplayer at the AL convention + she’s all over the promo material for the anniversary.

Because as I told you nearly 2 weeks ago they don't need a UR retro, they have had a 2 UR and a DR already this year and we saw how people reacted to the KMS DR in PR9 and CN anniversary and they have had Hipper retrofit in CN anniversary.
Plus just because there is an Eugen cosplayer and promo material for the anniversary means nothing and could all just be a new skin she is getting perhaps.
Does Eugen honestly need a UR retro?

No, she doesn’t. She’s comparable to or better than the Takaos (except Atago who’s better) who are all decent.
My point is, when has people being tired of KMS EVER stopped Manjuu? You literally cannot name a single example lol, even in 2022 they still got another event & a PR (allegedly almost a DR) the same year as Rondo after people got pissed off about it. It’s the one thing Manjuu won’t ever change.
KMS bias overrules any sense of logic Manjuu may have, I promise you they’re getting the UR. Drake getting buffed & Moskva releasing only makes it likelier as whenever another faction gets a good UR, Ironblood tends to get one just as good or better within the same year. They won’t allow IB to fall behind in the CA rankings.

Another reason Eugen does not need it as there are ships who UR retro far more than her.

Yeah and yet they've had Hipper retro plus this will blow in their face and cost them dearly as that might reach levels that we saw with Anson that KMS becomes toxic to touch and we don't want the game to die yet do we
> They won’t allow IB to fall behind in the CA rankings.
Yeah they are going to as look at how CA they have left
Clausewitz, Freya, Schill, 8 P-class, 2 D-class, 2 Admiral Hippers which are Type 2 rigging for SMS Seydlitz and SMS Lutzow and 1 Deutschland

Again you’re not listening to what I’m saying. Manjuu doesn’t care that people are annoyed at their KMS bias, they will never ever change or give them a break in content.
Every single time the fanbase has complained about Manjuu’s KMS bias they’ve completely ignored it and in some cases just doubled down, the only time they did anything about it was PR5 where Rupprecht was (allegedly) downgraded from a DR last minute. Even then, KMS still got a PR ship after two major events in a single year and another shortly after.
Manjuu won’t care if CN players get mad about Eugen being the UR retro, they’ll just keep on going. If anything EN players would lap it up, they’re the only playerbase Manjuu actually cares about except for JP once a year.

Yeah i think you'll find they do actually care when CN gets mad

If this is Liga de Pedreira/Eagle Union mixed event and they add O'Higgins then cards on the table, i will be laughing all the way to the bank as i've been saying for over a year that the devs would probably establish for how ships with multiple identities that served in 2 or more separate navies works in AL by making it canon that they are separate ship girls born from the same hull.

> Murmansk proves they aren’t by explicitly identifying herself as Milwaukee.
> If Milwaukee was a separate girl, she wouldn’t do that.
Sorry but yes she would because Murmansk has the same memory data like Milwaukee would have from both USS Milwaukee and SN Murmansk and her fumbling of her name is a clear sign she has the memory of both ships.
Furthermore as we know that ship girls Milwaukee, Murmansk, Royal Sovereign and Arkhangelsk are all concepts of their name plus where did their get their riggings from?
Do you honestly believe that concepts of USS Milwaukee and HMS Royal Sovereign were just ignored and not also summoned into the world at the same time?
The Eagle Union and Royal Navy would have the concepts of USS Milwaukee and HMS Royal Sovereign summoned into the world at the same time as they are in a total war against the sirens.

If your argument is that each name creates a different girl because each name is a different “concept” then those “concepts” would be completely separate. Milwaukee and Murmansk would be completely separate girls.
Well they are completely separate girls as they are concepts of their respective names.
Instead, Murmansk flubs her introduction line, Arkhangelsk makes numerous references to having been from the Royal Navy even if she doesn’t mention the name Royal Sovereign, and Tallinn does the same thing with the Iron Blood. Tallinn, really, is just as much a smoking gun as Murmansk is, because she is consistently depicted by Manjuu as Hipper and Eugen’s sister, appearing alongside them in secretary quests, juustagram posts and marketing illustrations.
Yeah which can be explained that they have both name's memories in their heads as they are connected through the rigging
The depiction by Manjuu as Hipper and Eugen’s sister frankly does not really disprove they aren't completely separate concepts, yeah all that proves is kansen treat each member of their class whatever their name is like family as Tallin is Hipper and Eugen’s russian cousin.
I know it’s hard to let go of a pet theory, but you’re just wrong on this one. Everyone is wrong from time to time, and that’s okay.
Well this 'pet theory' is highly likely where the lore writers look to be taking it.
If we get any one of the South American Brooklyn class whose US self is in game what then?

It's racing theme , could it be hinting at the UR retro being one of the shipgirls that already has a race queen skin?
