Depending on which subs you watch from, Tatsuya is either just Lieutenant or Special Lieutenant. Kyouko is stated as 2nd Lieutenant from the current episode. Hence, Tatsuya is probably higher ranked, depending on what they mean by "Special".

Wow. It took 23 episodes for the grand spanking of the "ebul Great Asian Alliance" by the glorious nation of Nippon-ji to begin.
Anyways jokes aside it feels that some crucial decisions from the Japanese side this episode will help in the security front.

Likely for the same reason in American fiction in the 80s, Russia often took over silly places. Because it's a useful method of having a strong enemy? Plus, it'd be difficult to judge how the world looks after a third horrible world war. Those often redefine political lines a great deal.

Secondly, when you mention the Great Asian Alliance, do you mean just the Great Union of Asia (which is China and Korea from episode 1 map), or both that and the League of South-East Asian Nations? So far, from what I can tell, it seems to be only the Great Union of Asia, unless it was mentioned somewhere where I missed. If that is the case, then it is understandable why Japan keeps thinking that. The country of China has imperialistic tendencies for thousands of years, and even in the current day nations around it feel as if it is encroaching on its neighbors. Taiwan still has that fear everyday. The countries of south-east Asia has been mobilizing their military (sources from people I know in south-east Asia) in anticipation of self-defense from China. The current crisis in the islands from south-east Asia has the potential to escalate into a major international incident. So yeah, it is not hard to imagine this becoming a huge issue for Japan in the future. As for the idea of Korea being willingly okay with Japan colonizing them, that is very unlikely to happen. From what I understand, there is still a lot of resentment in Korea about what Japan did in World War II. As for the South-East Asian countries forming an alliance to become the League of South-East Asian Nations, it is still a possible idea. If China pushes them enough, those countries might band together. People tend to work together when there is a common threat. Back to Mahouka world, if the League of South-East Asian Nations and the Great Union of Asia (sounds like a reference to the Soviet Union) ever join forces, I can't imagine Japan remaining by itself. Actually, what is confounding to me is that Japan is the only country in the Mahouka world to still remain unchanged.

I agree, SigUp. Let's stop here. Also, let me quote a post made in LN/Manga section by relentlessflame regarding this subject.

Ok, LKK, I will refrain from commenting further on the subject as long as no one else downplays its significance. As relentlessflame did eloquently put it, it is a sensitive topic that the AnimeSuki base might not have sufficient understanding of. It is encouraged that people do try to find and understand the history and geo-politics of the area, as it could potentially have an effect on global consequences, especially concerning economics and businesses that people may run into.

Lu Gonghu, he is rather at most, more formidable than Blanche and Nohead Dragon.
He still does not give up, and escape for the next fight even after his loss on his second fight. Comparing to Blanche and Nohead Dragon, this organization look more dangerous. But, Tatsuya still has not become serious yet. So to Tatsuya, Leonhart always being with Erika while schooltime is natural to him. While Erika brushes off as just a mere training, she is really supporting Mikihiko and Mizuki to be close together. To think Erika is not even considering pursuing forward her own love because she does not have one yet, but pushing others into loving. But really, what did Kirihara or Hattori was it, who mentioned that there are too many foreigners in the building. Isn't that just too much to be suspicous about, after all Thesis Competition is about, I forgot, but I think many foreigners would be interested in it because it involves magic combined with science. It is more than alright to be suspicous, but this bad feeling I'm having, the meaning of what he said when there are too many foreigners. I can't help but think of the word isolation. I"m just overthinking though. |

^ it's true that many foreigner can be interested in the thesis, and although it's not really anything to be suspicious about, an unusual number always caught one'a attention. Not to mention the "malice" that Kirihara's gut is feeling

Well, she has reasons (won't mention or hint anything for obvious reasons) and besides who doesn't like to see Mikihiko and Mizuki together. Considering how barren the world usally looks (seriously check past episodes, not a soul to be seen in the streets unless they are talking to Tatsuya or one of his friends) I also would be surprised and suspicious if people suddenly appeared.

But then it was only Lu Gonghu alone who was fighting, not along with groups of people.
Erika and Leonhart might not stand chance against him since these two merely surpassed that USNA agent, Jiro was it? This time they knew more of who Shiba Tatsuya is. The jealous males from the sports club I guess, they were disturbed to see these two together while the females are feeling so sweet about how these two are close. Erika, I think she just wants to relieve her stress just like when she worked as a maid in a 9SC banquet, how she went hard on Mikihiko because she wants to forget about the pressure from her family. In Thesis Competition, she ignored her big brother, Toshikazu? Her problem is more serious than I thought. Yes, the world settings is truly dark, no ordinary people in sight, are the minorities forbidden to walk around those grounds? The "world" really has changed. I don't think the characters in this series looked truly happy to me. Last edited by rladls2121; 2014-09-11 at 01:20. |
