For her kai ni forms, [[zuikaku_(kancolle)|Zuikaku]]'s is basically a hypothetical remodel where she survived the Battle of Leyte Gulf (October 25, 1944) and received aircraft catapults as originally designed. An alternate second remodel depicts her in a hypothetical armored carrier form a la [[taihou_(kancolle)|Taihou]].

She has the same set up as [[Shoukaku Kai Ni (Kancolle)|Shoukaku's]]. The only real difference is that Kai Ni keeps her color scheme and camouflage from Kai form (a camouflage [[kimono]] and [[brown skirt|brown]] [[pleated skirt|pleated]] [[hakama skirt]]) and Kai Ni A restores her original [[white kimono]] and [[red skirt]]. She also has a different stat spread than Shoukaku, favoring AA and Evasion to her Firepower. She also remodels at different levels: Kai Ni at Level 77 and Kai Ni - A at Level 90.

The main visual differences between Zuikaku K2 and non-remodeled Zuikaku are following: 2 tasukis instead of 1, [[black thighhighs]], and improved [[rudder footwear]]. Her [[flight deck]] also gains an [[aircraft catapult]] on the portside. For Kai Ni A, her flight deck is colored black.

Zuikaku K2 has had 2 seasonal [[official alternate costume|alternate outfits]]: a Christmas outfit (post #3340291) that regularly appears in-game during the month of December, and a [[long hair]] outfit (post #3022277 and post #3022286) for the Leyte Gulf-themed events that took place in 2018.
