^^ If history has NOTHING to do with it, then tell me why Akagi/Kaga/Houshou (Shibafu), Shoukaku/Zuikaku/Zuihou (Konishi), Ryuuhou (Ichiso) and Shouhou (bob) all share the archer concept. 4 artists miraculously interpreting aircraft carriers as archers completely freely on their own?

Taihou's crossbow is a reference to the crewmen's relative lack of experience of a newly built CV - crossbows are easier to learn to use compared to regular longbows like the rest of "old" CVs.

Yes I admit it's possible that Kurokuro just did whatever he felt like it, but "replacement for the CVs lost in Midway" does remain a common theme for all 4 onmyouji carriers.
