It looked like nets were made from metal. I don't belive they would make a net from rings of fiber, to much effort for no return so those rings were probably from metal. Also it's really hard to believe that japanese have no monitoring on the gate border for contraband. Unless they bribed someone i can't see them smuggling Leilei successfully.The Rope is mightier than the Steel.
Can't say I agree at all. I remember high velocity bullets pinging off of ogres clad in obviously low quality pig iron, I remember pit traps being super effective against tanks not too long ago and other things, and now this. If anything the JSDF feel pretty weak in this series overall, considering the supposed tech advantage.Man, aside from when they slaughtered and kidnapped people when the Gate first opened, it took 120-ish chapters for them (anyone in the fantasy world) to do anything to the JSDF. I love the series, but it's too unbalanced in favor of JSDF, which unsurprisingly, the author was apparently was part of the JSDF, and/or very nationalistic (nothing wrong with that) IIRC.
There's a difference between being patriotic and being pro-military complex. it's pretty clear from the author's portrayal of journalists and politicians as inept buffoons that just get in the way of the hyper-efficient military, that he is the latter and not the former.Man, aside from when they slaughtered and kidnapped people when the Gate first opened, it took 120-ish chapters for them (anyone in the fantasy world) to do anything to the JSDF.
