Well looks like all the Gate ''fights'' will be one-sided until the end. I can't call this a fight, it's a total one-sided massacre and I really hope this change in the next episodes.

As we know she's an apostle of Emroy, God of death. So basically the souls of fallen warriors on the battlefield pass through her body to be drawn to the side of Emroy. As a demigoddess and apostle, the effect on her is like an intoxicant. Thats why she was acting like "that" haha

Loved this ep, but didn't like how he just gave up. Would have shot those bitches...but I understand there is some plot behind it for the next ep.


He couldn't shoot them he literally just signed a contract between both groups. And you can't blame them for how they acted. Not only were they rushing there to try and help their leader. They just ran into their enemy AND they had no idea that there was a contract signed between both groups that guaranteed safety

If they had taken over the city they would have to take responsibility for it as well.
Meaning they would have to take care of rebuilding the city taking care of the wounded feeding the people that where effected by the battle taking care of the prisoners.
They also have to leave soldiers behind to protect the city.
And it might have bad influence on the city if it gets captured seeing as the Japanese are the anime of the empire merchants might stay away and people from the city might be treated badly.
Basically they took the easy choice.


He's most likely talking about when they abandoned Itami at the end. Clearly sticking around would have led to almost guaranteed bloodshed, which is the opposite of what the SDF wants from their scouting missions(and like he said, it could have violated the treaty they just made). Still, it did follow the trope of "convenient misunderstanding", if Itami had just led with "We have a treaty with your leader for saving Italica" instead of "Did my subordinate offend you", things might have turned out better.
Yes but they need to have proof of the treaty with them in order to convince those knights and it looks like the commender of the helicopter devision took it with him.

its also possible conquering other nation is not JSDF mission. thus they tries to keep intervention at minimum
Well if they wanted to invade the enemy country they could have done it already seeing as the enemy country has no way to oppose them.
The main thing they are after is resources while keeping a low profile.

Okay those Apocalypse Now references were fun but also kinda stupid. I mean with what would they shoot your balls off?

Rory is kinda annoying but oh well its easy enough to ignore her.


That female JSDF soldier needs to be slapped hard. Just rushing into action, what an idiot.


Also firing rockets at single groups of soldiers? Well that's expensive.

Oh and the whole Knight business at the end was incredibly stupid.


Bonus points for mowing down soldiers.

It's not a fair comparison.
The difference is that gate's obvious difference in strength won't change and is more about politics, Japan can literally not lose.
While overlord does have opponents that are threats.

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 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.

And you really can't compare Overlord with Gate since they are far different from each other, one is about a man who is moved to another world in a Lich form/body and don't have any idea about what is going on while losing his humanity and the other about a Self-Defense Force going to a fantasy-like world in response to an attack.

Excellent episode. Kuribayashi was terrific as were the comments about her always breaking things. I like the way they've depicted her in the anime, she looks better than she does in the manga.

Great detail on the vehicles and equipment as usual.

They also continue to really depict a believable group of soldiers: at the end when they ran into the cavalry Itami was constantly repeating "Hold fire! Hold fire!". He knows what reflexes have been trained into his troops.

Many homages to Apocalypse Now, but they were fitting for the scenes.

But I still believe 2 aspects can be compared (NOTE: You do not need to reply). The fact that they both moved into another world they're ignorant of, and the second is that they're far more over powering than their opponent.

If they end where I suspect they will, you'll eventually get a very difficult one. But for the most part, no - part of the point is how grossly overpowered a modern military would be in a fantasy world.

Helicopter units all around the globe love playing that one to scare the shit out of folks.
Actually, there are plenty of other things that can be played that do the job just as well, or better. The original point of "Ride of the Valkyries" was as an ironic reference to the Vietnam War. Well, and because it was on the writer's mind since he wrote the entire film while listening to Wagner and The Doors. When chosen for Apocalypse Now, it was intended to, while being impressive, compare the Air Cav to the Valkyries from Der Ring des Nibelungen, who's triumphant entrance is eventually followed by defeat. However, the scene became so iconic that the reference got lost to the fact that every helicopter force anywhere just has to love doing it.

They threw so many other direct references to Apocalypse Now in that part (and thankfully didn't omit any), that it's hard to miss the real point here. I was happy. Altogether, the episode was handled quite well considering obvious limitations in time and content. They got everything off nicely enough.

This is like the best anime season I have wittnessed.

without a doubt best episode in Anime history.
Rory, goddess of Loli and War, was really going crazy.
SDF played Wagner while attacking with helis.

Yes, yes I can die in peace now.

(for me Rory has won the battle for "waifu of the season" but it was weird that she punched itami, especially after the "very tight fit" episode.. I thaught she would make a dirty joke or something lol, I was wrong)

I highly doubt the rose knights would have believed that:

a) A little over a dozen soldiers from the army of arnus saved Italica
b) The princess has signed a treaty with the enemy
c) "Iron pegasus that spew death"

IMO it was the right call to be taken prisioner, he knows he wont be killed before bringing him to Piña Co Lada and they still believe time is of essence, so they will go to Italica asap.

Gate is the best example of how not to make a show. One sided slaughters just aren't entertaining to watch, especially if it's people blasting bandits with missiles. It was just dumb and badly directed (all those shitty cuts).

BUT, at least the episode was funny bad, unlike previous ones that were just boring.
