Zorzal is completle delusional, thinking the Japanese send everything they had outside this area, his forces are going to be annihilated.
i mean yes, obviously, but also good on him for showing a proper fucking strategy for the first time in this entire manga. I genuinely didn't think he had it in him to be strategic and clever

Is the series coming to an end? they are trying to give one of the bad guys a redemption arc.
This is near the end in the WN and LN, so there is a good chance it is.

I'm failing to see how capturing the fallen emperor or Italica will ensure Zorzal's victory.
Zorzal is canonically known for three things: his ego, his cowardice, and especially his stupidity. Each of these are nearly always death flags for royalty in most stories, but Zorzal is swinging for the fences.

I'm sure most of you are hoping he gets blown up/shot by the JSDF in glorious fashion, but his end in the source material was a lot sweeter.

Without the gate, Japan’s “invasion” will eventually come to an end with no means of resupplying. Meaning no more ammunition, fuel, human resource, food (I don’t recall them actually making any farms for example), and would destroy moral. All things considering, it is definitely a win condition for Zorzal. IF he can that is. The gates being the most obvious lynch pin in existence, you would definitely expect it to be well defended, even when attacking. Especially when you consider Japan’s end goal.

I don't think it was his plan.
Bouro probably snitched, then suggested an alternative plan

rare Zorzal W, with his plan at least. How the hell did he move his forces unnoticed though? I'd guess the soldiers were part of the train of refugees leaving west I recall reading a line about some chapters ago
He threw sacrificial armies as decoys in multiple directions, to make any hostile forces, including the JSDF, engage them on multiple fronts. While they were occupied, he moved his main unit under cover through a secluded route.

This would make sense against a force similar to his in terms of strength and weapons. Like so many others factions in this series tho, he's still completely underestimating the JSDF's modern military tech and hardware, not to mention their logistical capabilities to quickly redirect their forces and adapt to a changing situation. Also isn't Rory still in Italica? Good luck defeating her.

So, we will not see the kidnapping of Lelei by the Chinese, the 'betrayal' of America, what happened to Diabo, the giant insects/aliens or whatever in that dimension, etc.?

Looks like Yanai or Satoru wants to make the manga version of Weigh Anchor, huh?

what are you talking about Killing Zorzul was always Tyuule's Plan her being found out was just one of the possible endings she did start having doubts but I think that was more her being afraid of what it meant for her after she had gotten Zorzul killed whether there was a chance for her to have life after or whether she would either kill herself or be killed by one of her former subjects who all think she willingly sold their entire tribe into slavery if you have forgotten about her whole backstory
