If you want to strike fear to the locals they can bring in this.
Now that was something that struck fear with it's screeching dive. This would be second in mind. Could you imagine the fear it will strike if it appeared in a dark age battle ground? |

keke, I kinda loved Rori's plan of revenge for being rude. The dark elf is going to be soo begging on her knees when she realizes what shes done. Tho I understand her clan on the verge of extinction isnt really a laughing matter. I thought she might of shat her pants when the jet flew over her head.
I always had a feeling the dragon might come back. I mean they only fended it off from the convoy, they didnt slay it. I <3 dragons, but when theres one out killing people (not invading its territory) and reaping total destruction. Slaying it is a logical cause of action. I did want to see a round 2, modern vs dragon. But who knows, they might reject her proposal until they gather more intel on the situation and land?. Surely they wont run in blindly?

We FINALLY get into Rory's head, and no surprise, it confirms the expected feelings for Itami. Unfortunately the best-laid plans of the demigoddess get ruined by an ill-timed comment by the dark elf visitor. So what does the moment-killed Rory do? Why, a bit of petty pranking, that's what.
And honestly, did we really expect that Dragon to NEVER pop up again? Because obviously it just had to start hunting another subrace of elves this time. Oi.

About the flame dragon, there was the cover of the light novel's Vol 2 on Baka Tuki to show the fight and the title too: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/im...lustration.jpg
I just didn't expect it to come this sooner because I heard that each Volume of the light novel are really big. It's sad there are very few translation of this novel. Did someone know if I can find the novel in english ? Please. |

Whoa. Yao is sure unlucky. Has bad luck with men (She got NTR by her best friend who stole her boyfriend, and two latter lovers died badly), her clan are an easy meal for the Flame Dragon, and she is only chosen to negotiate with the JSDF for help to sell her body in case if they won't accept her giant diamond. Now she lost her chance to get help with them all because she interrupted Rory's plans.
Also, Top Gun shout out with those F-4 pilots.

At any rate, fuck this manga. Just a bunch of assholes running around being jerks to one another. No one is reasonable. No one makes any compromises. |

I disagree. The Japanese army has been very accommodating. They have even stated that one of their chief missions is to establish good relations in order to trade and gain access to resources, not by conquest. Even though they have repeatedly demonstrated that no conventional army in the Special Area can defeat them, certainly not while they are entrenched in a defensive position, they are still employing envoys.
The Fire Dragon may well be an issue, even for the Phantoms. Depends how they engage it, if they do. The Dragon shrugged off caliber .50 rounds like rainwater. I think that was a Carl Gustav they used to blast off its foreleg. Don't know how the 20mm on the F4 will do, we may see though. (I noticed the rails were empty, so if they're armed its just the cannons). The JSDF certainly does know its is not a big fish in a tiny pond. The JSDF is far, far too small to become an army of conquest, even on a continent of medieval technology. It is a very tough fish, the toughest around, but it doesn't begin to have the manpower to take over the Empire. Crush its army, certainly. Run the place, no. Finally, reading your last sentence, I do hope that you don't believe that compromise is always good, in and of itself, because that is patently untrue. And as I said above, the JSDF has already been compromising: the refugee camp under its protection, its expanded its PX solely to accommodate the growing local populace, and it has almost certainly (although its not been shown) expanded its hospital facilities at the base, again solely because of the local peoples. It has absolutely no obligation to do any of the above, yet it has. |

And anybody who thinks it's impossible for numerically small number of more advanced soldiers/adventurers to dominate huge populations should remember to look back at the conquest of India and South America by Europeans.

You are quite right to point out that numerically small number of more advanced soldiers/adventurers can dominate huge populations, but many times that was done with key local assistance: Cortez allied with tribes who hated the Aztecs, and the British Indian Army having many regiments of Indians, Nepalese and other peoples in the area. Also, I hope the JSDF leaders recall lessons from military history where more primitive armies defeated more technologically advance ones, such as the British at Islandwana, the Italians in Ethiopia, and the US Army at the Wabash. Arrogance is never a good ally! |
