hinore said: Genix said: How is that a good thing?! Why do some people hate fansevice? Now I feel like reading the manga more lol Also, @hinore: Dude, it's called diplomacy. Building good relations with the locals would move more along their agenda. Didn't you see how the public reacted back home in Japan when news about the Fire Drake's slaughtering of the elf village? They pointed fingers at the Army for over use of force. Soldiers don't practice diplomacy when someone is pointing a weapon at your throat. Understand the situation: They left their buddy, their superior officer with the enemy. An enemy that doesn't understand to treat their prisoners well, remember the treaty? Now look at the real world. Would you Leave your buddy with the VC or NVA during Vietnam? How about in Iraq or Afghanistan? How 'diplomatic' are you going to be? How is this situation different? And you can't say they aren't the enemy. Itami told everyone who they were, and given their treatment at swordpoint, it was obvious they didn't know about the treaty. So would you leave your friend with an enemy who didn't know the war was over and hope they didn't torture or outright behead him? As for the overuse of force. The soldier in the protected area won't know that because all news is censored in the battle theatre. One of the lessons learned from Vietnam. You go on about how the other side treats their prisoners inhumanely but I don't think that they know that. Don't forget about the language barrier and how they can only understand a few things of what they say. AND they agreed to treating them humanely as well by the way. And the whole units objective is to get on good terms with the people. If they opened fire on them it would have caused serious issues. Itami understood that and that was why told them to stand down. Plus even if a group doesn't know about the treaty it will still cause problems if they killed them. ESPECIALLY if the group that KNOWS about the treaty opens fire first. Itami also had a sword right on his throat, if they opened fire he probably would have died anyway. Don't underestimate the sharpness of swords, especially if they're used to kill people. Itami also issued the order to run. You DON'T disobey an order even if that means someone has to die. |

| Well, another 2 beauties will be added to mc's unofficial harem. XD Hehehe Itami grabbing/touching the non-existent. :) |

I'm pretty sure he had a com on him, he can just report back on the situation and they can track his location. They have technology. Although this is just a logical assumption, I don't know what events transpire in the manga. -------------------------- Unrelated, but why did Rory hit Itami for grabbing her? She was all up on his dick in the earlier episodes, she seems like she would love for him to touch her. Stupid tropes. |
| JSDF too OP. And that battle music is such epicness. Wouldn't Rory just get more orgasms from killing the bandits? Can't imagine fighting on the battlefield while having an orgasm at the same time. Pretty sure the killings have been toned down for that fight... Would've wanted to see slightly more gore though. testamentKAISER said: Well, another 2 beauties will be added to mc's unofficial harem. XD Hehehe Itami grabbing/touching the non-existent. :) This. He wants to add all dem roses to his harem. And was that a harpy there? |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
| The war-time music being played with the helicopters was purely epic! "Why do you guys sit on your helmets?" "So we don't get our balls blown off!" This has made my day. XD Rory was pure awesome in this episode, from the intense orgasms(?) she was having, then inevitably joining in the battle and destroying the enemies left, right & centre. She also made a good pairing with the female SDF soldier who also was like a boss with her fighting skills. Poor Youji, not realising that while holding Rory in his arms, he was accidently touching her breast. Then he got slapped in the face by the female knights when he tried to negotiate with them. So now he's being held captive by the female knights while the rest of his party heads back to Arnus Hill. Hopefully he'll be fine........I hope. ^^; |
| The red-haired girl was completely useless. Just watched the townspeople die lmao. |

Takuan_Soho said: Actually, at this point, Itami has more actual experience - Kurebayashi wasn't there when the gate appeared, and he was with her every time she fought. Her actual reason was that she's the gung ho type that actually joined the military to fight. She got carried away because it was her first chance to do so. Jonny_Mhl said: My issue is the hypocrisy passed in some points of Gate and not with the series itself, this episode has 2 strong points in this: First they shoot at the soldiers inside the city even when they stopped fighting They hadn't stopped fighting, they were a bit in shock because of the helicopter, but they hadn't stopped fighting (as the various scenes showing their leaders calling for regrouping). What they had done was to form a shield wall, those are not only used for defense but also for offense. That they were lining up showed that they were not going to surrender. Jonny_Mhl said: and the second is I still can't figure out why Kurebayashi rushed alone with a bayonet into the crowd when she picks on Itami about his behaviours even when he is a far superior not only in rank but also in experience. Don't forget that the JSDF doesn't fight in the real world (being restricted to just Japan), so Itami doesn't have more combat experience than Kurebayshi, indeed she probably does have more (and her bayonet is attached to a machine gun), also remember that Itami ordered her to stay with Rori, so she is just obeying his order. But keep your points in mind because the writer WANTS you to think what you did because it becomes a great joke about two episodes from now. Molek123 said: Nothing of the sort. Any attack in this world that could injure someone by going through the floor of the helicopter is going to take out the whole cabin, if not the whole helicopter. It's just an additional part of the Apocalypse Now reference.About helmets and guts: helikopters have not strong armor. The crossbow bolt can penetrate through it on close distance. And you never know what kind od weapon enenmy have. hinore said: You're misapplying principles. Genix said: How is that a good thing?! Why do some people hate fansevice?

The soldier in the protected area won't know that because all news is censored in the battle theatre. One of the lessons learned from Vietnam. 1) The JSDF is NOT like other militaries. They've become something of a joke internationally with how quickly they drop and run. Many of their personnel even joined with the explicit belief they would never see actual combat. 2) Itami is not exactly your typical soldier material. He has his good points, but he's more misfit than military. 3) Your principle applies mainly to actual warfare and defense against raids, where if you leave someone behind, it's very probable that they'll never come back. It doesn't work the same way in peacetime (an agreement was in effect, so this qualifies). When a situation like this occurs, officers are expected to assess the situation, and recognize that they will cause all sorts of trouble for their superiors if they go off half-cocked, which will naturally get funneled to them. Yet, if they retreat, their comrade will almost certainly be repatriated at little to no cost to the military or country. Itami's decision was the correct one for this situation. That wasn't his reasoning, but even military officers would admit that in the unique situation here, that was the right choice. And his subordinates only had the options of both disobeying an order and violating the agreement he was trying to protect, or trusting the other party wasn't stupid enough to do so themselves. 4) The rule does not say you never under any circumstances leave someone behind even if doing so automatically causes you to fail your mission. It's really about only doing so if there's no alternative within the framework of the mission/operation, and doing everything possible to get them back if you have to. It's hardly an absolute never ever, or every military would be violating it regularly. |

| Hmm of course.. gimme em hell chopper, such killing spree :o. Now the poor lieutenant has been taken by knights... and it doesn't seem like he will be treated particularly nice. |
| Am I the only one that thinks one of the reasons Itami let himself get captured so easily is because he's trying to avoid having to speak to the Diet? |
| Quite boring ep despite intense fight well it wasn't a fight but just op characters running around killing everyone kind of thing. Dem Rory scenes tho. |
 |
| Start the music! Ahhhh... so fucking good. I thought that was code for something but he wasn't fucking around. They actually had speakers on the Hueys. What a splendid massacre. |
 |
| I liked the use of the Ride of the Valkyries. |
| Some peoples fetish for and obsessive need for battles to be bloody on this forum is really disturbing. Can you really not enjoy an action scene if blood isn't flying everywhere and covering the screen? Like jesus christ dude. The choreography for the fight with Rory and Shino fighting the attackers was awesome, but the first few posts I read is just "Zomg they toned it down not enough blood!" |

They should have sent all "single" soldiers to the other side. ^_^ It'll solve the population problem. |

| The manga/ LN readers really hyped this episode up... And it was kinda boring. The helicopters were cool when they rolled up, but i wanted to see more ground fighting with the JSDF backing up Rory. That misunderstanding though... |

But when that kind of massacre happened & almost no blood shown whatsoever, now that's a problem. It's too clean. Very unrealistic & illogical from a narrative standpoint. |

raptor980 said: I don't dislike her but I definitely don't like her. She feels like 2 archetypes smashed together with a handful of quirks; meaning she hasn't really shown a personality of her own thus far.This episode was the best so far. Loved the mayhem of the battle. Also, I think I may be one of the only ones who dislikes Rory. She's kind of annoying so far. Hopefully, they expand on her more as the anime progresses. |

Pat_To_Do-List said: But when that kind of massacre happened & almost no blood shown whatsoever, now that's a problem. It's too clean. Very unrealistic & illogical from a narrative standpoint. The simple truth is that hollywood has made people believe that people ooze five or ten liters or blood in seconds when shot, just like people believe cars explode when they collide. The simple truth is that the human body does not have that much blood nor it gushes at high speed from any whole. |
oldskoolpunk said: He typically makes the morally and politically correct calls, but regularly throws military discipline out the window while doing so. While some of that is SOP, he takes it to a level that normally would see him punished regularly and severely. He's also a bit too lazy and unambitious, to the extent I'm still trying to figure out why he'd joined the army, of all possible careers. The only reason I can think of was that it was easy to get the job, seeing as the JSDF is has always had a relative shortage of personnel.ErwinJA said: Itami is not exactly your typical soldier material. He has his good points, but he's more misfit than military. He's doing pretty well as a leader. He hasn't made a bad tactical call yet. Letting himself be captured is a good call. He doesn't want a massacre, and the knights don't realize they're way outgunned. He knows the knights are headed for Italica, where Pina will straighten things out. |

The simple truth is that the human body does not have that much blood nor it gushes at high speed from any whole. Have you seen how there were so many corpses in this episode without any trace of blood whatsoever? And how the people shot by rotary cannons & not even bleeding? I am not asking for gushing blood like in Akame ga Kill or Code Geass, I am asking for at least a trace of blood. I have seen how people got injured many times & they're definitely not as clean as the ones in this episode. |
| I like anime. |
| Apart from the violence being toned down and yes, the lack of blood, this episode was just awful. People, it's understandable that it's the Japanese Self Defense Force we're talking about, but you cannot be serious in this exact moment that you say "it was justified" or "it was the right choice". Not to mention that I have the STRONG feeling that the only reason it didn't end up with the knights getting killed, was because they didn't want to see the "poor and unarmed"(/s) women killed in TIMES OF WAR, where in the episode NOTHING (not even the treaty) explicitily stated "We are now at peace" or "We now have a truce" considering that our MC did NOT have such an authority to begin with. To me it seems this is nothing more than a case of plot induced stupidity, pointing a sword at someone, especially against a military pesonnel will not result in a cheap attempt at a comedic turn towards the end. Do you want to go more in depth about the history of one of the worst nations to deal with in war? The very same nation that has demonstrated that in times of war they were incapable of treating OTHER human beings that were NOT Japanese, and even themselves at times, with the respect commonly expected by hundreds of other nations around the world. Of course everyone has had their fair share of atrocities, but the Japanese military was especially cruel. It's possible that today it's a completely different thing, but I doubt it's that much different when there are still people that staunchly deny that the atrocities they committed were real. The part with the treaty was the most ironically hypocritical thing to show. For all we know they really have changed their ways, who knows, but I'm sorry I'm not going to believe that. The suspension of disbelief required here was way too much, it made me doubt whether I should continue watching the show. I just can't fathom how they could screw it up so much with one simple thing. It's pretty clear where this is going with this kind of main character and toned down plot. Let's say that our world would like to colonise the new one (in real life the likelihood that such thing would happen would be absurd) where it was even hinted in the anime, where do you think it's going to go? Of course it's going to be the PC choice of (just like Outbreak Company) saving those people. But what kind of retarded excuse is going to be used? It would have been fine if they came up with more realistic choices, especially with the themes they're handling and with the show's intent to be taken seriously. But no, I would have been ok if, while following the anime they would have given a GOOD reason or act more realistically, and we've seen it in the world, in real life information during war time is controlled (as others have stated) and fabricating information in gray areas is not too hard for the victor. But no, instead we need to go on because we can't see some pretty girls getting killed. The JSDF being competent is one thing, but ignoring the realities of war is just way too much. |

| Wathcing Rory having orgasms made my day <.< Though why did they disappear ? People were still dying so idk why all of a sudden she is fine to kill some sons of bitches xD. Itami told his men to leave because he knew that even though those girls were hostile they wouldn´t kill him. Telling his men to leave proved that he didn´t want to harm them. He is totally fine. About the episode itself was cool to watch. I liked it. There are no girls in the armies because they are not allowed to. The special forces that appeared in this episode were "Amazons" and you should know Amazons stands for a military group only made by womens. The way it was created was stupid as fuck but who cares anyway .. |

| Good chapter, it seems Itami it's not going to the press conference soon! The girls are going to treat him badly i think, poor Itami. Also, the power of the army is way too overpowered, i cannot think in some threat to them in the story. |
| You still have the gods. Emroy for instance. And they almost died figthing one fire dragon. Imagine what would happen if a group of them attacked all of a sudden their base. We didn´t see yet any magician as well so we don´t know what they capable of. There should me more races to find out as well as new monsters. So far they only met humans and that sexy elf. But if the story will have some problem for sure it will the fight over the GATE. We saw in one episode that the USA was interested in it and according to the soldiers Japan doesn´t have enough money to supply them (they are using new vehicles but the weapons are old and weak compared to the new models). So something will happen for sure, either inside of the new world or out. |
