'''''Kimi no Na Iowa''''', also known as '''''your (name is) Iowa''''', is a ''[[Kantai Collection]]/[[Your Name]]'' [[Alternate Universe Fic|Alternate Universe]], [[Continuation]] and [[Fusion Fic]] cowritten by max_and_emilytate and WarpObscura, with art from bapjart, Hiroki Ree and melisaongmiqin. It can be found at [https://archiveofourown.org/works/10736196/chapters/23795292 Archive of Our Own], [https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12428909/1/Kimi-no-Na-Iowa FanFiction.Net], [https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/kimi-no-na-iowa-the-zeroth-draft-kantai-collection-kimi-no-na-wa-inspired-au-continuation.497240/ SpaceBattles] and [https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/kimi-no-na-iowa-the-zeroth-draft-kantai-collection-kimi-no-na-wa-inspired-au-continuation-rehost.37595/ Sufficient Velocity]. It originally ran from February 2017 to December 2021 and was initially marked complete, but returned in June 2022 after a [[Creator Breakdown]]-induced hiatus.
'''<big>WARNING! Unmarked [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]s ahead for ''[[Your Name]]'' and the rest of [[Makoto Shinkai]]'s filmography. Beware.</big>'''
Line 37:
** Chapter Eight alludes to Peter's denial of Jesus.
** Or Energy is called "mana from Heaven" in Chapter Nine.
** In Chapter 36, a character pulling a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] tells one who she had done it on behalf of the following:
{{quote|“You’re a righteous ship I would sink for... this counts as a good fight to have fought, a race to have finished and a faith to have kept… hah… doesn’t it? It’s okay. This is part of that plan to prosper you and give you hope and a future. Forget what is behind and strain toward what is ahead.”}}
* [[Asian Gal with White Guy]]: Japanese American Ayaka and Irish American Uileag. He also previously had a crush on and failed date with his Japanese senior at work. It's left ambiguous whether he has a type, though, or it's just proximity considering that his besties, in the apparent absence of additional [[Race Lift]] from canon, are also Japanese.
* [[Atomic F-Bomb]]: Combined with [[Cluster F-Bomb]] and [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!]], Uileag shouts in Chapter 39 that all the medals he gained were not "WORTH A DAMN! FUCKING! [[Country Matters|CUNT]]! THING!"
Line 127 ⟶ 129:
** The American version of the summoning speech, as shown in Chapter 22, combines and adapts the Day of Infamy speech, Declaration of Independence, and Gettysburg Address.
** As introduced in Chapter 33 and confirmed in the relevant art, the way {{spoiler|a sinking shipgirl disintegrates into [[Cherry Blossoms]] and [[Disappears Into Light]]}} is based on ''[[Your Lie in April]]''.
** In Chapter 36, a character makes a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] while saying "It's my turn now. I hope you don't mind" and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4rtcJnRd6s Nightglow] is playing. {{spoiler|Himeko}} from ''[[Honkai Impact 3rd]]'' or {{Yamashiro}} here?
** In Chapter 37, some of {{spoiler|the last words of Uileag to Ayaka in this bad ending}} mirror what Kousei says to Kaori, also from ''[[Your Lie in April]]''.
* [[Horror Hunger]]: Early on after realising her true nature, Ayaka grapples with a newfound unrelenting desire for semen as the most effective source of manpower and mana, which she desperately holds at bay with doubled prayer and ritual. She comes to learn that it's a common issue across all shipgirls courtesy of their sort of [[Enemy Within]], one that most of them happily indulge. That at least some of the few fellow resisters use the consumption of blood as a kind of second-best mystical nicotine replacement therapy doesn't allay her fears. She eventually lets herself go after marrying Uileag, though the boyfriend-turned-husband is understandably concerned about her enthusiasm.
Line 150 ⟶ 153:
** In Chapter Eight, "you can rely on me more", a catchphrase of Ikazuchi from the game, is used.
** Also in Chapter Eight, a joke is made about Hitomi being a Natural Born. As related in the authors' notes, the authors had previously noted that [https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=61372781 the redesigned Pacific version of Yorktown resembled Sayaka.]
** In Chapter 36, Yamashiro's warcry of "''Watashi wa jama da''!" reflects her canonical "''Jama da''" line from the game's Fall 2017 event.
* [[No Conservation of Energy]]: Shipgirls may be [[Big Eater]]s, but they don't need to eat the hundreds to thousands of men's worth of food that their ship selves' crews would have needed in order to function properly.
* [[Non-Fatal Explosions]]: In Chapter One, {{spoiler|Uileag gets caught in an abyssal bombing that briefly knocks him out, but he is still able-bodied enough after he regains consciousness that he can lead multiple rescue expeditions. It takes a second bombing, which has him [[Blown Across the Room]], to inflict internal injuries that lead to a month-long coma.}} One Corpsman remarks on his luck.
