The one episode wonder of the first Azur Lane season.
Writer’s note: This post used to be on the site but I had to recreate it again. I took this as an opportunity to do restructuring on it.
The entirety of the first season airing of Azur Lane back in October 2019 – March 2020 was nippleless except for the BD release of episode 6. This was effectively the “one episode wonder” so to speak, as there seems to be no nipple sightings in the Slow Ahead! season — not even in the OVA.
I’ve broken up this post into five parts:
- Part 1: Breakfast
- Part 2: Festival
- Part 3: Belfast and Enterprise Chat
- Part 4: The Glorious Bath Scene
- Part 5: After the Bath
__________________
Part 1: Breakfast
The shipgirls have breakfast. Belfast and Vestal are cute here.
Belfast
Time to wake up, Enterprise.
Vestal
Gotta love Vestal’s cute face. We’ll also get to see her cute nipples later.

Part 2: Festival
At the base, lots of shops are set up. It’s basically a festival.
We get some Akagi and Kaga cleavage but that’s about it.
Akagi and Kaga
Festival
Belfast and the other ship ladies also enjoy the festival.

Part 3: Belfast and Enterprise Chat
Belfast has a chat with Enterprise and reminds her that shipgirls are humans as well.
Seems like Belfast also took this as an opportunity to fantasize about giving Enterprise some “discipline” to become a maid suited for any household. If one wants to really go the degenerate route, Belfast disciplining Enterprise to be her personal maid.
Belfast
Just look at the expression on Belfast’s face. She must have be having a jolly good time fantasizing about disciplining Enterprise.
Laffey and Javelin
These two ladies also make a short appearance to do some cleaning on the dock. Boring uninspiring work where the only fun is the occasional ass or cleavage shot.

Part 4: The Glorious Bath Scene
This is the section of the episode that pretty much motivated me to make this post in the first place.
We get to see nipples after the locker room. Yay!
Undressing
We get to see ladies from the Eagle Union and Royal Navy undress for the bath.
We see South Dakota briefly appear on the right here, but we’ll see her nipples later.
“What cute underwear! I love the color!”
“I usually tend to do without. I don’t wear knickers.”
Illustrious and Prince of Wales
The Bri’ish is strong in this episode.
When both these Bri’ish ladies enter the bath, Illustrious stops and sees Unicorn enjoying the company of Laffey and Javelin.
Prince of Wales: “You look rather pleased about something.”
Illustrious: “Yes, very much.”
Bath
San Diego wants to rush to the bath, but then gets electrocuted.
More Bri’ish.
“It’s quite impressive your majesty.”
Unicorn
There is an entire separate section of Unicorn with Laffey and Javelin. This section later leads into a montage of other ship ladies walking by as Laffey and Javelin reassure Unicorn that every shipgirl’s body is different and should be proud of her own.
First we see Unicorn undressing.
Unicorn joins the bath alongside Javelin and Laffey.
We switch over to Javelin’s view.
I guess Javelin was excited to see Unicorn’s exposed breasts. “Finally, I get to see her nipples!”
Unicorn gets really embarrassed after Javelin’s comment. Javelin and Laffey try to comfort her.
I’ll include the montage of other ship ladies in the next subsection. But after the other ladies walk by, Unicorn’s mood improves and she starts to appreciate her body more.
Those gals are having a jolly good time about being comfortable with their bodies.
Ship Lady Walking Montage
Other ladies that walk by after Laffey and Javelin comfort Unicorn.
We get:
- Nevada
- Oklahoma
- South Dakota
- St. Louis
- Helena
- Hammann
- Vestal
Nevada and Oklahoma.
Bless South Dakota!
St. Louis and Helena.
…and then they show off their hips and ass. DAMN. Look at how happy Helena is here too showing off her naked body.
Hammann realizes Unicorn is looking at her naked body.
Vestal nipples! She’s also got the same contagious smile from earlier in the episode when the ladies were having breakfast.

Part 5: After the Bath
No more nipples after the bath scene.
YEAH GO DRINK THAT MILK!
Let’s be real here: She’s likely watching anime titties just like we are.
After the bath, Unicorn gets into some comfy clothes along with Javelin and Laffey.
The adults enjoying a night in the bar. Except for when Vestal interrupts Hornet, probably because she was offering alcohol to Hammann?
Belfast and Enterprise have a late night chat.
Clearly zooming in was to focus on Belfast’s cleavage, not for the bottle. Right?
There’s also a scene with Kaga and Prinz Eugen.
Yes, they are. It’s called boobs and hot lesbian action.

Closing Thoughts
While this episode was amazing with the characters with their nipples shown (especially Illustrious, St. Louis, and South Dakota) there could have been so much more.
But at the same time, we can count our blessings that this even happened at all. I don’t know if we’ll ever see an Azur Lane episode with nipples again.
