A hole? In Alnus?

 

[MagiciansBlack]

There is a hole... in Alnus. I really hope the place wasn't named like that because of it, but them again, we have fucking princess Pinã Colada; I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[DracoInduperator]

@MagiciansBlack god dammit, I didn't even think of that pun until you said something and now I can't keep a straight face.

Nice thinking Itami! giving a girl with PTSD the rocket launcher instead of using it yourself to damage or possibly kill the Flame Dragon! What are smart dude! Just like thinking that Revenge is a cure for PTSD!

....Why couldn’t he bring Homing Heat-Seeking missiles instead of normal ones? He knows he can’t afford to miss with it and the Flame Dragon could dodge it. Our MC everyone, the one who makes stupid decisions and yet is allowed to live because plot armor.

This chapter gives us a proper strength measurement on the Apostles. Rory swung her halberd at the Flame Dragon with full force yet did not even seem to hurt it, only knocked around its body. Showing that their aren’t completely on top of the Special Region food chain. Which back-fires on them later lol.

Also it seems as though I’m the only one talking about the story lmao, these comments so far are only concerned with the sex joke, not the story and looking at it in detail and noticing the numerous flaws. Do people just not see faults in this story as I do? Or are they just turning off their brain to enjoy it?

@BigRobot it was kind of on the spot for him. And the seeking missiles are too important and expensive to give you a rogue soldier defeated a flame dragon not complying with orders. Also he had to think fast for Tuka. It's not like he's a genius or that he got enough time to think it through

 

[BigRobot]

@Fwaifuxsenpai the JSDF use outdated Cold War era weapons and equipment. I highly doubt that in the 21st century, Cold War weapons are still expensive to buy. Itami Could’ve asked for the heat seeking missile for the mission he was supposed to go to, with the excuse being that bandits might come by with mountable Wyvern’s, or if the flame dragon comes back. He could’ve gotten the missile that way.

And the worst part? Later after this, Itami isn’t punished for any of his actions! He gets a large diamond that’s worth a lot of money, the JSDF can’t get rid of him because he’s super popular, and he receives a ton of other rewards and commandments. If this isn’t plot armor for the authors SI then I don’t know what else to call it. It happened before too, like for example, he runs off during training exercises just to go off and read manga. He disobeyed an order from a superior, yet was not disciplined or demoted.

Now for the Tuka part....So he thought “hmm, maybe if I give Tuka the rocket launcher so she herself can kill the flame dragon and get revenge for her father. Although...She does PTSD and doesn’t have training with it, so she could miss with it easily....AH who cares? I know she will kill it if I hold onto her and egg her on!” Over “Ok, let me, a professional soldier who training experience, kill the dragon with my Normal Rocket/Heat Seeking missile launcher. With this, hopefully Tuka will get over her trauma!”?

Now, which option do you think a normal soldier in RL would pick in Itami’s situation? Itami’s option? Or the other? Tough choice I must say. Also....he could’ve thought about this BEFORE facing the flame dragon, he would’ve planned for making Tuka firing the gun, not make the decision on the spot. What the hell was he thinking beforehand?

Edit: In chapter 94, one person uses a very expensive piece of equipment used by a NRBC Specialized unit made for radiation. What was that about heat-seeking missiles being too expensive to buy?

I saw that spice and wolf reference on 29 anyone else notice it?

 

[OllyMolly]

Hope the whole entourage comes back to base with all the dark elves lol... as the other side is full of a forested ground already.

OOOOH THE FISHPEOPLE resembles the ones from Blue Submarine No. 6!!! Awesome!!!

 

[minikaiba]

Ngl I liked the way Itami handled it. I've dealt with PTSD people in my life... and it certainly rots away the spirit.

 

[Lurac]

@BigRobot heat-seeking is a misnomer, they actually are IR-seeking missiles, which wouldn't work on a dragon, for the same reason why they don't work on humans. In future chapters, the situation changes, so of course they might have more funding, or might not,

If you are only going into a story to hate it, why bother reading it?

 

[BigRobot]

@Lurac odd, then why call it a heat seeker? For the sake of ease?

The negativity from me was why I stopped at 47. I was getting angrier and angrier with each chapter, which clouded my judgement. Some of My complaints weren’t justified or just me not paying attention, and for that, I apologize.

I came to this manga with some doubts, seeing the reviews on MAL (especially TheDeedsOfMan) and videos. But I was thinking, “maybe it’s just A-1 being idiots as usual, and they messed up it’s potential”. But then as I read the manga, the gripes (or supposed gripes) began being more and more apparent. I don’t want to go on another rant so I’ll end it here.
