The match takes place in an arid, mountainous desert area. St. Gloriana won the match and moved to the Finals to face other Semifinals victor Ooarai Girls' Academy.

Trivia[]

  • Out of all known canon matches this is the second time Kuromorimine and St. Gloriana competing against each other in the Semifinals. The first time being the 63rd National High School Senshado Tournament. Like the previous match, this match also takes place in a desert area.
    • If we include both non-canon matches and those from other rounds, this is the third time they have competed against each other in tournaments. The first time was the 61st National High School Sensha-do Tournament as St. Gloriana beat Pravda in the semi-finals. Despite not being shown, Kuromorimine beat St. Gloriana’s, taking them to their eighth consecutive victory.
  • The Tiger I tank deployed by Kuromorimine has the turret number 131. This is a reference to real life Tiger 131, the only Tiger tank in running condition in the world. Tiger 131 was captured by the British on Point 174 near Djebel Djaffa in Tunisia on 24 April 1943[1] and is currently preserved at the Bovington Tank Museum in Dorset, England. Kuromorimine's Tiger I was knocked out by a shot from the rear instead of a shot that hit the turret ring, which is what immobilized Tiger 131 in real life. It could be a reference to Maho's tank in the anime as both Tigers were knocked out by the opponent outmaneuvering the Tiger and shooting at the engine block from the rear.
  • It is quite likely that the Panzer IV Ausf.G used by Kuromorimine in the game comes from the same 3D model as the Panzer IV Ausf.F2 from Ooarai, as both variants are virtually identical. One of the few noticeable differences between the variants is the smoke launchers present on the Ausf.G's turret, which do not appear on the Panzer IV in the match.
