While WWI had a very large number of deaths it pales in comparison to WWII. There were ~17 million deaths in WWI but also 17 million deaths just due to the Holocaust (not just Jewish deaths) in WWII, which doesn't include deaths due to military action or Japanese genocide (which, remember, Japan refuses to admit occurred). Total WWII deaths are >100 million, mostly Russian and Chinese (thanks, Imperial Japan and Communist Russia).

The high death toll of WWI was also not due to the machine gun; it had been adopted in warfare long before and well-adjusted to. In fact, the American Civil War showed the world how to incorporate the machine gun. Until they adapted casualties were needlessly high, even for the primitive machine guns of the time. The real culprits in WWI were the large scale, the long time frame coupled with fast mobilization, the nature of trench warfare, and a few ongoing genocides in the Ottoman Empire.

"You are weapon, stop running!"
I laughed way too much. XD

But that aside, here i tought that we would get some real nice bonding between Harpiko and our bastard hero... Welp, I guess they are closer in a certain way...
(Also, Harpiko's view of Gobumi is kind of weird. Don't lewd the littles girls please. >>)

Man, Harpiko's gonna turn to the Dark Side if he ain't careful. He scored a few points this time around, but he's definitely walking a fine line.

Harpiko had so many great faces this chapter of despair, disbelief and terror. She's definitely the smartest out of all of them for seeing what's what.

Also Gobumi is like 6, she's barely older than a toddler, you monsters.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but it's possible that there were more combat deaths in WWI, as the overwhelming majority of WWII deaths were not directly from soldier on soldier combat (starvation mostly).

The total military deaths were higher in WWII; 20 million vs 10 million. You're right that WWII had far more civilian deaths, though. The military deaths were mostly due to the sheer massiveness of WWII, fairly comparable to WWI in that regard, given the larger Asian participation in WWII.

I'm surprised MC even used his body to shield and save Harpiko. LMAO.

In moments like these, I feel like his soul can be saved.. But then he goes on scamming random people after.


So hard to see if he should be allowed in heaven or not. 🤔😅😂

But wow, trench warfare. Never thought he'd use it.
