This episode's second half was completely bonkers. I love the parts where Leilei just decided to go full loco, & how the JSDF goes overkill on those two baby dragons. Kinda sad to see those cumdumpsters dark elves get wasted though.  |
| They got it! They finally kill the Fire Dragon and his two child's too! That's a big win! ^.^ |

| Gate of babylon hype! |
 |
| Lelei was really badass with her Unlimited Blade Works |
| This episode was pretty good. |
 |
| I had several complaints. But that Lelei smile was so good I forgot about them. XD |
| I just had military nerd orgasm. Benphyre said: not a single fuck was given to the other dark elves who died lol LOL Who care? We already knew they're going to swiftly die like a leaf since that quick introduction moment. |
 |
| Interesting. I didn't know Lelei was this powerful and Tuka was pretty good, too. Also. What a surprise. The whole group of warriors died. Who would have thought that... Now there is even less of a chance that the bitch elf will stay with her village -.- Ah well. Maybe it won't be as bad. The other characters had less screen time, too. Who am I kidding. She'll be super nice to Itami(incredibly annoying at that) and be in every damn episode from now on -.- God I hate her so much. Fucking entitled bitch. |
| Just this episode is a pure masterpiece!!! 5/5!!! |

htsuji said: 1. "It has to go faster," said Lelei after she missed the first shot and was trying the next.  THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!! XD |
 |
| OMG BADASS LELEI HUAHAHAHA |
 |
| Damned elven scrubs can't do anything right... Hundreds of years of experience, yet a 15-year-old human fares better. Of course, they were all dwarfed by Itami and the SDF. |
| More like GATE S2: Demolition of Smaug |

vack said: Why Unlimited Blade Works ? Do you guys do not see only anime? Suikoden 2 "Hungry friend" (1998) or Devil May Cry "Sword Illusion" Because this show has a few references to Fate/stay night. The special force teams that were guarding the hot springs, for example, were named Saber, Archer, Lancer. Caster eventually adds to the fray later. A code phrase "the grail has been filled" (or something) was uttered at one point. Itami was given "Avenger". This one a reference to Fate/stay night Hollow Ataraxia. Finally, Lelei picks rusted swords up from the ground and and sword spams. This is how Unlimited Blade Works is supposed to work. Coincidentally, I saw some people exclaim "Gate of Babylon" or "Gilgamesh", which is funny because Gil would NEVER pick swords up from the ground. Gate of Babylon works differently, too and has a yellow hue instead of a blue one. |

|
| Another awesome episode, badass Lelei and Tuka are deadly :D Giselle's appearance wasn't really a bang but it gave us another look on how strong the military is with the killing of those baby dragons :D This show is in my top 3 this season and so far it hasn't disappoint. |
 |
| Now watch Japanese Medicine save the day. |
"When everyone else is about to give up, the fighter who becomes the role model, is the true Leader."  |
| Great episode. I really like Lelei's badass grin and attack. In the end, she wanted revenge, too. Nice lightning from Tuka, followed by a big explosion, as expected of 74 kg C4. And it was cool, how Giselle got rekt by the "filthy humans". |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Pretty nice UBW there Lelei, and Itami is the dragon slayer according to everyone, and also a manservant of Rory xD |
 "If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick."- Oreki Houtarou |
| O shit, eggshells, multiple dragons are gonna come and someone is gonna die. He dropped the communication device and now the dragon is gonna swag his way in and kill some people Wait, that dragon doesn't have an eye and an arm, does that mean that there really is more than one dragon. I'm probably mistaken as I think it's only one dragon but I don't remember the prior attacks. Whatever fuck it Dragon came in with super swag, burned the elfs and ate some as well. Swag on point. HOLY SHIT that evil smile on Leilei's face tho, she's a born sadist 100% Leilei acting like Fujitora and attacking with those levitated swords Ayy Tuka doing her best Killua impression with those thunders. Dragon has been killed. Bombs for days. Fuck, Rory-chan is injured. Shit so she took Itami's injuries and pain. Noooo Rory-chan don't get hurt pls So the fucking blue sister woke up the fire dragon for no reason and killed the clans, well this is normal in anime. The JSDF comes to the rescue. good that shit didn't go further. This anime is very detailed abut the plot, guns get a proper description, commands seem legit, mangaka has done a good research from what I think. 3/5 |

| Loco Lelei was a very nice surprise. Tuka got over her trauma pretty quickly there too. For a moment I thought, "Oh shit, they can't deal with two baby dragons right now!" Whelp no. JSDF. Who am I kidding. These guys are OP. What happen to saving the Dark Elf Clan. They like... all suicided. Yao forgot about them lmao. But six little packets can take down a dragon. Yeesh, weapons of mass destruction could definitely decimate the world. Also, that may not have necessarily been a UBW reference. The rain of swords can be seen in a lot of series and games. Madoka had it as well. @Ginkaize, LN novelist was in the JSDF. There was probably a bit of research, but mostly personal experience/knowledge I would think. |
| T Mirorin said: Those dark elves weren't given a fuck to at all, the girl showed no concern. I mean wat, you wanted to save them that's why you begged Itami and co.

| Tuka w/ that Kamehameha! xD |
| Is it just me or did anyone else remember what the King said back then in early 1st season episodes; about using the dragon to destroy villages as some sort of war tactic, which hinted some sort of control the King had over the dragon? |

htsuji said: I can't even deny.Is is just me? But, when I saw an always calm and quiet girl suddenly made a evil smile, then I was inevitably bewitched.  (Ps: that's called gap-moe.) This episode was absolutely fantastic, and funny enough probably the best depiction of the mayhem of a real battle, as well as an accurate portrayal of a multi-stage strike package that they rained hell down on those dragons with. I'm not a big military nut, but seeing that organization and the artillery barrage was satisfying, me being someone who ponders combat tactics all the time. It's shameful how much fiction misuses or cheaply depicts tactics/strategies that are actually more impressive in real life (kinda like how i've previously commented on the lack of strategy and tactic sophistication within the gate fantasy world). Those dragons were only babies though, poor things. GuidedCursor said: They were indeed meagre redshirts.We already knew they're going to swiftly die like a leaf since that quick introduction moment. Yeah, storm of blades is an ancient idea. It's analogous of armies of soldiers who are their weapons and roll in like a storm. The fallen leave their blades behind (and can be reclaimed), thus the imagery. It's actually more accurate to the old in this anime than in Fate/Stay Night. Protoz said: If that was said, it had nothing to do with control; consider is being lured.Is it just me or did anyone else remember what the King said back then in early 1st season episodes; about using the dragon to destroy villages as some sort of war tactic, which hinted some sort of control the King had over the dragon? |

Re-watched those early episodes, it was my mistake after all.. my memory got mixed up. Incidentally I watched Kato (Lelei's master) saying that it woke up 50 years earlier, in relation with ep.17 story about how its activity and hibernation cycle is very long, so we can assume its food will replenish when it's asleep.. I kind of get the big picture on how this Fire dragon species is an integral part of Special Region, and it worked for hundred of years at least without JSDF interference.. So, how will you think removing this species affects the whole ecosystem in the future? I don't read LN but I can make some assumptions, that these elf species live very long and have no natural predator other than Fire dragons, if we remove these predators wouldn't it result in overpopulation? Yeah i know only Yao & Tuka remains (and naturally it falls on Itami to help them repopulate LOL ) but my point is, a species will be extinct unless they adapt, and we have no right to interfere with natural course of evolution & choose which species survives (Starfleet Prime Directive on First Contact :P ) - If the elves' fate is due, then it is nature's way of saying "survival of the fittest".. although i know it's easier said than done because they happens to be sexy blonde & voluptous dark-skinned women :P |

Protoz said: Humans can do whatever they want because they have the imagination to do so. Without dragons they'd need innovation to counteract their own ecological footprint. They could get cosy with JSDF to speed things up.So, how will you think removing this species affects the whole ecosystem in the future?

| Unlimited Blade Works? xD This episode summary is like: Screw dragons! Jets FTW! xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| Phew.. Leilei and Tuka could do that..? I never knew lol that apostle is so ugly hahaha. Just blow them all up yes.. |

Thanks for the references I caught the Avenger reference in the beginning of this season, but the battle at the hot springs went over my head :( . When they said the grail had been lifted it caught my attention as that being an interesting line but I never put two and two together lol. Leilei went super badass mode in that cave, and that smile :) Did it not bother anyone else when Itami just swooped up Rory and her massive spear like it was nothing XD That thing was supposed to weigh like 1000 lbs, and Itami just not a problem hauling ass. Those jets and artillery fire wiping the dragons out was a nice way to wrap up the dragon arc. 5/5 episode for sure, enjoying this season much more than the last. |

| This was beautiful. The whole fight against the dragon and the combination of magic and technology to achieve the hard win. Loved it. |
 |
| Lelei performing her duties as the best girl since day 1. And Finally Tuka did something. Was so done with her by now. And Rory is great, too. Injured badly yet still badass. I hope Tuka develops a personality soon. Enough of dad stuff. |
 |
| A fire dragon is tough but it's no match for some good old-fashioned C4. I feel like a lot of those dark elves threw their lives away especially the last one. He should've fallen back with the others. The SDF reinforcements came just in the nick of time :D A perfect ending to the episode. It almost felt like I was watching a movie instead of an episode. |

| nice 2 c Lelei show so emotion n a new demi god hope 2 c more of the army go 2 work on someone or something |
| What a victory! But well at what loss? Either way a great episode. |
 |
Love how all those side elf characters get introduced only to be mauled to death.  Anyone else see this slight resemblance? |
| That was overkill... Fuck the dragon... |
| LOL |
| Yikes those dark elves got brutally killed >_> Feel like it was a bit overboard to have them all die, it's like they're expendable for the sake of not showing any of the JSDF get killed. Well at least they killed the dragon and its hatchlings. |
 |
| WHAT LOL. AIR SUPPORT? ON TIME? THIS IS UNHEARD OF (RIP two elves that got knocked out early and were probably forgotten in the c4 blastage) |
