Friendly reminder that cluster bombs are a violation of the Geneva Suggestion.

No geneva here, so it checks out 😂

Good info, thanks. Major mixed feelings about it -- Japanese manga tends to struggle between the extremes of gratuitous attempted sexual assault sometimes played up for fanservice even vs. contrived and instant feel-good kidnapping resolutions, but I don't really know if I have a perfect better solution for how to talk about it in terms of plot and storytelling. This one I've noticed has been especially haphazard in terms of adult content.

The Japanese using rape and abuse to throw fanservice around will always be one of the most disgusting things they do

Tbh i cant really remember the plot, yea he tried to save the princess but who are the soldiers he talking with? Didnt he just move on his own last chap 🤔

If memory serves, the idiot prince abducted Ana using a false letter in the king's name to sell her to the enemy country. Allen is just tearing said country a new asshole to look for Ana.

Why the hell his aircraft is so damn ugly? I think the author should have looked at photos of planes for reference. Maybe a WWII attack aircraft or something like that, fortunately there were a lot of different ones

Well, he did actually. The nose looks clearly inspired from the Tupolev Tu-2 medium Bomber. Not really a suprise, as Allen has always been a notorious Russian-a-boo

And as @AscendingCanadian pointed, the rest of this flying abomination clearly seems to come from a PZL M-15.

Anyway, Allen is such a monster. We turn our backs on him for a couple months, and then he returns with this thing, playing operation Strangle on enemy columns like it's 1944 again.
We already had John Wick and his dog, now we have Allen and his girl. There are just some people you should never mess with...

 

[Al_Kohlick]

I see Allen turning into tanya... and I'm ok with it... the fake saintess really needs a taste of her own medicine

Funny that you mention it, because the first time I saw the majestic and mighty Anastasia on the current cover art (vol.7), on my side I was like "Dear god, please never let Allen craft a rifle for that girl, or we may end with Saga of Ana the Evil".

Especially after what she's currently going through. She surely will need to blow out some hatred once she's rescued. Nobody will be safe.

 

[Al_Kohlick]

They really chose to base his bomber on the worst possible aircraft ever lmao

Let's not complain, I think they could have chosen something even worse. Something that also comes from PZL (ironic).

Something that was such an utter waste of time and resources that it maybe sped up the defeat of Poland in 1939, just by preventing them from developing and producing a sufficient number of competitive bombers instead such as the splendid PZL.37 Los.

The PZL.30 / LWS-6 Zubr.

Thanks for the translation SaebaScans

 

[ScarletForm]

Hohohogo finally updates.

Well, I was surprised by the development of Allen becoming so cold and not reluctant to kill anymore.

Of course, if your lover is kidnapped and you don't know how he survived or something like that. Was he tormented.

Plus the war situation caused by the bastard prince and the cause of all this, including the kidnapping of your beloved, are you still sane?

Well, this is just a bridge anyway.

Thanks for the translation, Sebas.

Soundtrack for this chapter:

Burn the Royal Family to the Ground

When the fuck did he have the time to make a VTOL Bomber

That's even worse, and given that ice isn't able to be x-ray'd... Very much a war crime

Only very specific weapons (for example chemical ones, like mustard gas) are prohibited to signatories of various international law. Shrapnel explosives are not one of them, otherwise you'd not see soldiers carrying fragmentation granades. The primary concern with these exclusions is not that they wound and kill soldiers (pretty much any weapon does that), but that they are a threat to civilians long after hostilities have ceased.

 

[finalm]

Deuterium on its own can't make a bomb. If he can't find uranium or plutonium, it's not much more useful than normal water.

Even if he does find them, they are useless for bombs unless enriched. That's the most challenging part of the whole process, not something a single dude could manage other than through deus ex machina.

You are partially correct, however shrapnel explosives that cannot be xrayed to identify pieces are in fact against the Geneva convention. “It is prohibited to use any weapon the primary effect of which is to injure by fragments which in the human body escape detection by X-rays.”

So Alan's ice bombs are definitely a war crime

That doesn't make sense. How does the lack of fragments in the body meet the definition of "non-detectable" fragments? You do realize, that the ice will soon melt, leaving only open wounds right? While I'm aware this only increases the chances of bleeding out, that's not what the rule you brought up is supposed to regulate against.

(Of course, it's highly doubtful that the shards could penetrate even simple gambesons, nevermind actual armor, but let's assume they do, for the sake of the argument).

 

[GorillaJuice]

I like how the comment section knows Ana hasn’t been violated and instead it’s all just comments about Geneva conventions, aircraft’s and Allen’s insane growth with his crafting and willingness to kill for Ana (highly reasonable crashout might I add)

 

[bregas]

Never would have thought that Allen would take inspiration for the plane from the goofy ahh Polish designed crop duster
