I remember feeling shitty back then that some poor kid got transformed against her will in a monster through magic or alchemy or something. I guess it's good to know they were never actually kids to begin with, not that it's any comfort now that they've infiltrated the refugee camp.
Nah, they were probably written originally to be mutated kids. I guess the author got push back from above about the JSDF being shown to kill kids, so he had to add the legal disclaimer this chapter to cover his ass.

Man, this is pace is infuriating. Sure, now they finally act but the massacre is almost done, the war almost lost. It just breaks my suspension of disbelieve so very much that they would, just sit and wait knowing that even if they can open the gate back up again, the only thing that would most likely be waiting at the other end is Zorzal sitting in Alnus. This reminds me of a certain retreat from Afghanistan...

This arc is so ass istg. Merely because a lot of them allies in which some of them actually have screentime before got killed left and right.

And yeah I agree it's shitty how they suddenly become incompetent, letting few things loose and surprised how it's biting them back.

I had forgotten Tywal, but after the little flashback I remembered everything... man, poor girl can't catch a break, there is only so much a person can take before going crazy.

Major Higaki has gained my undivided respect.

Because its a forced plot lol. Author very obviously has a bone to pick with the CDP party and is purposely contriving the situation to show off his political views lmao

Wait, so you just said that this breaks your suspension of disbelief despite it reminding you of something that did happen in real life?

As usual, the dithering and hemming-and-hawing by politicians and flag officers lead to stalling and unnecessary casualties. Just like in real wars.

This arc is super-annoying (sudden super-incompetence by the jsdf that is uncharacteristic of what has been shown so far, the prince just randomly deciding to mess everything up for no reason all of a sudden despite how he is having what he wants handed to him, the princess refusing a quick and safe resolution to her war by having jsdf not interfere, the mage somehow letting herself be drugged, jsdf pulling out entirely just because of some minor attack on the gate, etc.). Glad to see that it is at least starting to get past the stuff that was.
This is a story that’s been in development for over a decade so far that has a lot of going on beyond the exceptionalism. If you want a better explanation for why the JSDF are so tetchy soon as something public happens to them on home soil, there’s been plenty written about it, but Patlabor 2 is an especially good movie that covers it.

There are movies on why jsdf suddenly became incompetent in the jsdf-circlejerk manga "GATE"?!?

Thanks for the chapter.

That said, anyone else hope that the commie spies get devoured by the man-eaters? And not “devoured “ in the hentai way you filthy degenerates.
