Same reason there is non in the middle east, you can make diplomicy with small clans and factions. However, toppling a government with corrupt people who control large bodies of military that are in do-or-die mode is hard as shit.

>>136057217
Emperor. But yes he's kind of stupid. My only guess is just nobody is telling him what the fuck is going on anymore.

>>136057257
At the very least he should understand that all his forces were slaughtered.
I guess he's okay with it because they were vassals rather than direct subordinates, but it should still instill some level of martial respect for such a large army to be completely decimated so quickly.

>Why was there no diplomacy?
There's fucktons of it. Literally everything anyone wants to do isn't allowed because of muh diplomacy. It may not come up in the first novel though.

>>136057217
I mean before they launched a full scale invasion and slaughtered tens of thousands of people.

Do the Japanese have that much of a hard on after they got nuked to shit?

>>136057232
Ok! But! There was absolutely NO attempt to even see what was in the other world. It was immediately "launch a full scale invasion". At least in the middle east we know who the fuck they are.

Tribes in the Amazon have tried to launch invasions on Brazilian towns, and you don't see the Brazilian government launching full scale invasions on these tribes.

It doesn't make sense. I know it's anime, but at least give Japan a real reason for this.

>>136057257
The poblem seems to be he wants to conquer both worlds. He make others send their troops just so he can have the strongest army and rule their world and belives later can invade japan because he is retarded af

>>136057044
Base on this logic, general MacArthur should have conducted operation Downfall, which would have killed a few millions of Nips instead of giving them a chance to surrender, huh? Even if they're all savages whose only language is violence, all you need to do is showing them your muscles and they will be obedient, no need to kill them all.

>>136057341
They posted a defensive zone outside of the gate with giant signs telling the other side to fuck off. That's about as friendly as you can get without having a constant security threat.

>>136057341
>before they launched a full scale invasion
I wouldn't call it that, after the initial defensive battle after passing through the gate, they haven't engaged the Empire in any further skirmishes.
If it was a full scale invasion they would have complete control over the zone by this point in the series.
>slaughtered tens of thousands of people.
To be fair, it was purely defensive. The enemy combatants slaughtered themselves by running into the gunfire and mortars.

>>136057437
>Base on this logic, general MacArthur
blah blah blah I ain't readin that shit. A army showed up in japan and started killing there dudes. They fought back. They went to the other side to defend the Gate and they sent another huge army that apparently can't read the warning signs. They defended themselves again.

Everything after that has been them trying to open up peace negotiations with the Empire. I'm not even sure why OP started with this dumb topic.

Have you been watching the show? That's exactly what they're doing. They show up, make a base, kill everyone that attacks, and are now trying to get an unconditional surrender.

Aside from the initial invasion to set up their base, the SDF has only defended itself and people who have asked for help. They haven't gone on the offensive once after the initial beachhead. The king is just two dimensional evil who keeps trying to kill the japs.

>>136057341

the worst part of this show is how unrealistic the portrayal of America is. Im not even American and I laughed at how retarded the portrayal was. Show is the epitome of nationalism in media.

It really bothers me that they can just go back through the gate and resupply at any time. This is just 1632 with literally all of the drama removed. The reason this kind of story is good is because the limited supplies add that whole tension of wondering if this is the last battle they have ammo for.

>>136058199

Of course it is. The only really fucked up thing about Gate is Japan arbitrarily claiming the entire special region as part of their country so they could ignore the treaties preventing military operations in foreign territory.

I don't know about you, but killing fucking 60 000 people sounds like over-exaggerated self defense to me. I refuse to believe some illiterate savages still have the ball continue marching after hearing thunder sound and the earth blowing up and burning right before their eyes. All those Nips need to do is firing warning shots using their artillery, maybe killing a few and the rest will flee crying their mom. No matter how you see it, killing 60 000 is unnecessary brutality.

>>136058614
Will they ever be able to have a military or is that just an "until further notice" kind of thing?

And say Japan went all "fuck you, I want a military", what happens then? Would we nuke them again? I can't see anything happening other than the UN throwing a temper tantrum

They'd have to amend it democratically. The current ruling government basically wants to. America is in favour of it because they'd rather throw willing nips at muslim extremists than hear all the bitching about American casualties.

>>136058675
They do tend to be remarkably thorough in killing damn near every enemy combatant that comes at them but to be fair they have no obligation to stop shooting just because they hope they scared them and culturally the enemy has no expectations of such quick diplomacy and will usually fight desperately to the death anyways. The enemy casualty numbers are insane because of the way ye' old armies work where they are so clustered together one artillery barrage kills thousands.

Also keep in mind these armies have ogres and dragons and shit for which the heavier firepower is not so overkill.

>>136057451
>The enemy combatants slaughtered themselves by running into the gunfire and mortars
So those medieval soldiers were either so brave or so stupid that they could still continue their attack despise seeing their comrades dying left and right in horrifying ways? Or the author is too stupid to understand how warfare works.
Let's be real, to those medieval people, just the sound of the canon is enough to make them scare shitless, let alone doing anything. Hell, right in this novel, when the earthquake happened, all of them believed the doomsday's come. You really think the impact from canons shelling wouldn't scare them to death?

>>136059116
They live in a country where they expect the losers to get executed or raped anyways.

>>136059192
You don't understand how medieval wars work? As soon as soldiers in one side think their defeat is inevitable, their formations breaks and they flee in chaos, those who surrender are unlucky faggots who aren't fast enough.

On the other hand, what sounds more terrifying to you? Being captured and executed later or being burning alive and blowing up to tiny pieces?

>>136057634
>Believing in JSDF propaganda bullshits
If this is real, no way they can get away with Article 9, forget about doing anything else.

>>136059364
The guys marching up Alnus do seem kind of insanely committed but anime timescales are quite variable and there's dramatic effect involved, plus the guys actually in the middle of it can't necessarily tell just how absurdly they're getting their shit kicked immediately. I assume the initial intensity of the attack isn't so implausible to them compared to the fact they can keep it up seemingly indefinitely.

Ignoring that they did take a bunch of prisoners the fuckers at Italica had the excuse that they were all suicidal fuckwits anyways.

>>136058299

You are confusing the point of GATE. This is not about having a fair fight between science and magic. This is about how to maintain civility against an opponent who is completely alien to Earth rule of engagement and doesn't understand what a peace treaty is for.

>>136058521

The fact was that the Coalition Army attacked at night and there is pretty much no way to peacefully warn off 100'000 professional soldiers and monsters especially when you don't speak their language.

The Coalition Army had no idea why they were getting blown up, which was why they kept pressing the attack. JSDF had no choice but to kill them all because it's the only thing that could keep them from dying.

I only watched bits of the first episode.
Why didn't they just build a wall in front of the portal on the earth side?

They have magic and dragons and immortal lolis and shit, their dudes would be somewhat more hardened to some of this stuff than our medieval guys.

The strongest things in the special region (eg. Rory, Enryu) are far stronger than a regular JSDF soldier, what makes the Japanese terrifying is that the fighting strength of even their lowliest grunts. There's a scene in the last episode where one of the imperial nobility gets a rifle demonstration and he's pretty impressed but it's when he asks how many rifles they have and is told that every soldier has one he shits his pants.

>>136062841

>They have magic and dragons and immortal lolis and shit, their dudes would be somewhat more hardened to some of this stuff than our medieval guys.
It doesn't mean they're immune to their horror. Nuke is common knowledge on Earth, but that doesn't mean you won't say your prayer when you actually witness one by yourself. If anything, fire-breathing the dragon is one of their worst nightmare, it wouldn't surprise me if bunch of them mistook artillery for dragon flame and died on spot due to heart attack.
>>136063347
Medieval command structure of armies is very easy to be broken by fear. Ten of thousands of soldiers running for their life despite what their commanders said is a common thing these times. And in this case, the commanders were probably those who run first.

The romans killed a lot of people and kidnapped japanese women back before the JDF managed to respond to the attack and rolled in. They proceeded to annihilate the shit out of the foreign invaders, pushed through back through the gate and established their beachhead on the other side.

Then they began being diplomatic. Following mass annihilation events were done to further implementing diplomacy through superior firepower. Pina Co Lada got a display of just how easy it is to suppress a savage warband of death cultists with a few flying metal birds armed with boom-sticks.

There was diplomacy once the situation stabilized. But a faggot like you probably thinks peace talks can be had iin the middle of battle.

>>136063491
Generally they tend to think they're mages, which can presumably be successfully bumrushed given their rarity and 10:1 overall force size advantage. Problem is the JSDF are all "mages" with casting time hax and hand to hand fighting skills.

>>136063529
considering the number that died compared to how many participated, i think they figured it out well enough (something like more than half of the 100,000).

As for how willing they were to continue the fighting..... we are talking about the big guys who went and conquered all in their way (like the warrior bunny tribes) and are ipso facto the big dogs of their world

Also don't forget, in their own experience you only request a peace treaty if you couldn't win. And since the JSDF keep demanding a peace treaty, it must mean, by their own logic, that the JSDF must have some critical weakness and could be defeated.

What the Empire didn't realise, is that the JSDF has no intention of dealing with a destroyed Empire and the civil war that results. And thus they only wanted a treaty because they wanted the Empire to survive. This is just beyond their cultural understanding of how wars are suppose to work.

American forces aren't that well suited to jungle warfare, which is what you will wade through when fighting in tropical countries. Armored divisions are useful only in limited areas, air cover is nullified by dense canopies, and even high-tech equipment gets bogged down by thick foliage and the horrendous conditions of a tropical jungle, not to mention the convenient pre-existing cave networks that serve as excellent bases and tunnel systems.

Though, with American forces training in their tropical allies like the Philippines, the effect could be not as severe.

Did you watch the part when the cripple king telling Pina about his battle with the JSDF? He lost the will to fight immediately after witnessing the power of modern weapons. They couldn't just brush it off when every second dozens of them collapsing or being blowing up for apparently no reason at all, their will would be broken right away. No mage in their world could achieve such feat, and even if they insist it's a mage, they had to believed he's an ancient mage who wielded unimaginable power, enough to kill them all.

The prime minster isn't really the ruler of Japan, his Party is, he is just the fall guy. This applies with several other Asian nations too. In that the PM would take the fall and resign in order to protect the political party.

Well currently it isn't the priority. Magic plays only a very small role in the Empire's daily lives because so few people are capable of casting spells. It is suspected that the affinity is genetic. And the Empire basically gave up hiring mages for battles because men with swords are more effective for the cost.

You really don't understand the concept behind war do you?

When a enemy army suddenly and without provocation attacks your homeland you respond with overwhelming force as a first response. The reason why you do so is to discourage further attacks.

Also if you truly watched the first 5 episodes you'll see that the Empire continued to attack the area where the SDF was simply sitting and waiting for the enemy to attack. The Empire repeatedly ran right into a kill zone even though they knew the SDF had superior firepower. The SDF never moved forward and initiated a attack on the empire.

>>136059116

You missed the hints.

1. Japan just had a "9/11" moment, and as such both its citizens and the international community were willing to cut the nation some slack.

2. The population AND both major political parties are in agreement that Article 9 needed to be repealed. However doing so takes too long, so in the mean time they created what is called "legal fiction" to allow the JSDF to be deployed faster.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_fiction

Basically the courts, the politicians AND the voters all agreed to turn a blind eye to the fact that the JSDF is being deployed against the Article 9 rules. And this was only possible because there was political unity and the opposition party did not challenge it.

Article 9 would be repealed eventially, after which the legal fiction would no longer be needed. It is basically a temporary measure.

>>136077233

Because the US and Japan are allies with a mutual defense treaty. The moment a foreign force invades Japan, the US will have to step in no matter what. It's not "someone else's war" when the US is basically Japan's protector.

>>136079025
They did try the last time despise instinctively knowing they couldn't win.

Japan had spent a few months sending scouts and spies through the gate, which allowed them to partially learn a local language, among other things. And yet they chose to invade anyway.

It was a sensible thing to do. The Japanese knew there was an actor able to make these gates, and at least one actor willing to send an invading army through them without warning or without knowledge of what's on the other side. They did not know who these actors were, and had no way to contact them.

For all they knew, these gates could start popping up and spewing invading monsters all over Japan and the world at any given moment. The low-profile scouting and diplomacy needed to get to the actors and find out the truth could have taken years and years.

Compared to that, sending an expeditionary force not only secures that one gate and deters further invasion, but also speeds up and simplifies the development of diplomacy by attracting the attention of the gate builders and gate invaders, and making a clear show of your power so as to avoid misunderstandings.

>>136079524

You stop being a benefactor or protector when you began military invasion of Tokyo.

Seriously, I was thinking you were a troll but now I think you really are just a retard. Being a "benefactor" and "protector" requires that the United States NOT send its troops into Japanese terriototy against the will of the Japanese government. Any less is outright military invasion and you are no longer a benefactor OR protector. Do you think that title last forever and ever no matter what you do? It all ends the second you invade, all treaties become invalid when you are no longer allies. Invasion of Tokyo by American troops = all friendly treaties are cancelled.

It never was. Back in the day you didn't have the Internet to access information which meant the illusion of government benevolence was kept intact through propaganda. Most of that propaganda is part of public curriculum, and very few people actually bother to research history in sufficient depth to ascertain what is a lie and what is potentially true - in history, there is no certainty.

America is not at all inaccurately portrayed in GATE, working in the shadows rather than strong-arming opposition is standard procedure for modern USA. Although they did that back in the WW2 days too. Despite being irredeemably evil, they still have public opinion to deal with.

This writer is completely full of shit. He disregards the Mutual Defense Treaty and decides that foreign land opened by a gate is Japanese territory. So then he lets his little army invade and rape a sovereign country without trying to open up any negotiations towards peace. He denies any kind of support from other countries and makes the US, one of the countries that signed the MDT, one of the antagonists. This is coming from an author who believes in reinterpreting article 9 of the Japanese Constitution so that Japan can freely declare war on other countries that it regards as enemies. And in the end Japan gets all of the bitches and the rights to rule over its new territory. This story is far worse than Stargate.

Japan didn't declare war on the guys who came out of the gate. They invaded. I dunno about you, but typically getting invaded by someone means that a state of war de facto exist. Whether there is a formal declaration of war or not really doesn't matter.

Governments are not known to honor treaties with any dilligence anyway. In WWII, every major power violated at least 1 treaty. Germany in particular violated a huge list of them.

The main problem with Gate is that it antagonizes America for no reason. Keep in mind that Japan needs America more than America needs Japan. Japan is pretty much surrounded by enemies and if it wasn't for America's support they would be rekt by them.

Congrats OP. You've managed to make a thread full of /pol/ bullshit and completely avoided talking about the actual story.

>>136086129
Because just because you think that they are planning to overthrow you does not justify the stupidity that you literally crippled your own territory by getting rid of the experienced leaders who actually know how to read and write

There's no damage control here. He is just insane to the point that he thinks that he can manage the giant territory all by himself
No matter how much he smiles, he still lost

That's fucking stupid. They could have started shelling the areas in the enemy army's path. The armies wouldn't approach any further for fear of death, eventually they would give up and leave. If they don't give up and instead try to entrench then you use aerial reconnaissance to find out where their commanders are and wipe them out however you see fit. After that the army will enter a state of chaos and disband naturally.

Would a few hundred die in the process? Maybe, but it wouldn't be hundreds of thousands.

>>136086171
>no reason
It's not for no reason. The Japanese have plenty to be butthurt about. USA continues to occupy their shit to this day. Okinawa has real problems with the US presence there.

Also, most of said enemies are competing with USA, Japan is in their sights through the virtue of being occupied by USA and some minor territorial disputes regarding islands.

>>136086537

I'm not saying what he did was smart. Quite the opposite. I'm saying he had a personal justification for doing what he did. Yes, he really thinks he can become the God-Emperor. No, he obviously never, ever will, and yes, I will enjoy watching his empire come tumblingdowntumblingdowntumblingdaaa-oooooown.

Honestly, this entire thread was just bait. Any OP that's dumb enough to claim that Gate has no diplomatic elements is just stirring up shit.

>>136086537
>Would a few hundred die in the process? Maybe, but it wouldn't be hundreds of thousands.
You know that the allied armies attacked 2 times, right? They got their shit pushed in the first time, saw it happen, then went for another go with predictable results. So apparently getting shelled and killed wasn't enough to deter them. It would be reasonable to expect that getting shelled alone wouldn't either. Hell, the second time they were taking hits and continued to charge forward.

These people are obviously dealing with something they cannot understand even at a basic level. They don't know to fear it.

>>136086760
Not the anon you replied to, but to counterpoint your argument about 'not knowing to fear it', Episode 13's scenes with the Senators may be referenced to debunk your theory of 'not knowing to fear it'. The Senators all basically started having massive panic attacks after witnessing the mortar. Literally started LSD tripping horrorshow montages of their cities being blown to ruins.

I will admit that however, that due to being intellectuals, they were probably more mentally equipped to put "1+1 bomb = lost this war" than the rank and file soldiers, who are likely trained to resist giving into fear, given the inherently chaotic nature of medieval clashes of armies.

Those senators aren't warriors and are both self serving and intelligent.
Another person who feared the weapons that SDF brought, was Pina Co Lada, but she's also highly intelligent and not an experienced warrior. In fact, she's kind of a pretend warrior really.

Not following orders is also considered desertion in the military and deserters are shot(or stabbed) by their own people. This is probably less prevalent in modern armies, but in WWII and earlier it was a choice between dying at the hands of the enemy or dying at the hands of your friends if you disobeyed orders. So even if you're smart enough to fear what is happening, you're also smart enough to ignore it for you know what will happen if you don't.

Do you even read manga bro

I´m sorry for having to play unit 734 card in a GATE thread again, but the clinic JSDF has opened in the red light district is conducting illegal medical research on native population. (selling contraceptives and researching STD:s) They are a military unit operating in secrecy, without the red cross symbol, This is illegal as shit.

Also their massacre of the gang cannot be argued as self defense, or military action because those thughs are not members of imperial military. They were civilians.

The author is trying to paint actual warcrimes against a civilian population as a good thing. This is kinda heavy even for Japan.

>>136075036
If people choose to live under a dictator then that is their choice. The small scale revolts are not an indication that the people will it to be any other way.

Food for thought: When a small group of radicals pop up in a country on the opposite side of the world we crusade to topple the government they are fighting. Yet there is precedent that if a state or group of states were to try to revolt against the US Government they would be stopped with military force. Such a tasty double standard.

>>136088676
It's okay to topple evil government regimes if they have OIL

>>136088676
People don't choose to live under repressive regimes, they're repressed into doing so by many methods including force.

We as in the US intervene when a "small scale" revolt spirals into violence against not only the offenders but wide swaths of the population. We as in the US use these opportunities to get rid of unfriendly regimes, and it's just politics.

I don't understand why you brought up the US civil war as though that somehow has any relevance to a debate about dictatorships

To be honest the idea of having a magic gate open in a city is great but the implementation by the author of GATE leaves much to be desired. It could have been a great tale between modern reality vs a Magical Empire. Instead it's some nationalist's fap material about his country being #1 and others being 0.

>>136059116
You're clearly to stupid to realise they probably didn't have time to understand what was happening. Modern artillery is extremely fast firing, along with this and modern small arms, those causualties probably happened in the first 5 minutes. Besides, they're used to dragons and orgres and magic. How did they know this wasn't just some terrible new form of magic? Also in the comic the JSDF waited until they were in small arms range, and were also shown using rapid fire 40 mm bofors anti aircraft weapons. Those things alone would have reaped a terrible toll in minutes by themselves. Add in artillary, mortars, GMPG's and HMG's and the tanks, and seriously, that battle couldn't have taken more than 30 minutes, tops

>>136094059
Why are you butthurt about that? Do you want him to pretend his country is utter trash or something?

I don't think that's a very good fantasy.

>>136094082
Shock and awe, baby.

The attacks were deliberately set to "whites of eyes" to deal maximum damage and end the conflict quickly. Strangely enough despite having armies of dragons, orcs and goblins and shit, not a single magic caster showed up.

>>136094186
Because he thinks GATE is aimed for him and not to japanese NEETs.

>>136094186
Just be more real and level headed about it.

Imagine if instead of being in Japan the gate was opened in America and the story was done by an American writer?

You wouldn't have as much US Armed forces wankery than Gate has. I mean you would probably even have antagonists from all sides. Instead Gate makes it as if JSDF does no wrong and everyone else are evil.

>>136094334
I know Gate is JSDF propaganda to get some of those useless NEETs to join JSDF. But I think the concept is interesting and I'm sad is being used for such trite.

Yea, elves and 961 year old demigods are super real and level headed. As are woman warriors and 15 year old magicians.
Never mind that fire dragon which can't be penetrated by .50 cal FREEDOM.
Also, ever watched that movie. What's it called. The one with Groot and that furry guy? That was literally government propaganda. Eg the government is benevolent and the most qualified to handle dangerous things is the message it tried to get across.

Pretty sure Japan didn't make that one.
I think Japan is best served by portraying themselves as the good guy. They really don't want to end up hating themselves like the Germans or Swedes.

>>136089289

Yea, and that's on that side of the Gate, what's on this side? Oh wait it's earth and not a parallel universe where Japan won WW2 and is the foremost military power of the world.

>>136081979
These are two completely different cases.

To each and every terrorist, it's their religious duty to kill all infidels they can find and subdue the whole world to the will of their god. If they fulfill their duties, they will be rewarded in heaven and live a luxury life with 72 eternal virgins serving them, but should they fail, they will be damned in hell forever. That's why they have no fear of death, because they will automatically be send to heaven fighting us and there're punishment far horrifying than death if they don't fight.

But those Gate soldiers just obey their lord for their life. The threat of death is more than enough to scare them. And those lords themselves are even more spineless anyway.

>>136094350
>Imagine if instead of being in Japan the gate was opened in America and the story was done by an American writer?

It would literally be an american version of gate which is the propaganda you hate, go watch stargate or pacific rim, they're essentially the same. Their also american novels of something similar and they are just as bad, remember reading this webnovel about how a portal opened in middle east and demons came out of it, steamrolling everything on their way, MC survived who was a member of US Special Forces tries to go back to human civilization, magically he manage to go back and then he became a fucking demon hunter with all his knowledge.

>Only America is allowed to make nationalist propaganda

>>136094890
Japan isn't the foremost military power of the world in GATE.

They are fighting literal peasants with spears using an under funded but mostly modern military. Do you honestly think that Japanese army consists of 1 Humvee and 5 NEETs or something in real life?

They only sent like 10k troops beyond the gate, which is rather small percentage of their actual army. The equipment they use is the standard shit they use in real life. They got plenty of that crap, specially the light infantry equipment like the trucks.
The only thing that might raise eyebrows is that part where Japanese SF schooled US agents in the onsen ep. But that was a clusterfuck in general.

>>136085827
>As for the Japanese constitution, it's just a piece of paper.
Pro tip: That "piece of paper" is the only thing keeping Japan from being occupied by foreign forces for eternity to make sure they will never try to conquer the world again. It's basically an oath, they keep it and the world believe they want piece, otherwise, it means war.

>>136095264

I mean, their special forces are better equipped and better trained than SAD/SOG, Spetsnaz GRU, and PLA-SOF, soo...

Considering that Japan doesn't even think the logistical muscle of the USA is even needed for anything.

If it wasn't written by an ultranationalist, Japan would have courted as many nations as possible, it would have been a diplomacy coup of unimaginable proportions, instead Japan is choosing to isolate itself and piss off the power that's preventing the chinese from rolling them over, as well as giving the chinese a reason to roll them.

With more backing, the combined forces could have done infinitely more than the pissy effort that the JSDF is doing. Satellites in orbit, population and terrain mapping, airstrips, communications, intensive language and diplomatic efforts, actually doing things rather than watch the indigenous population kill each other off as things go to shit thanks to the disruptive presence of terrans.

Do you think Japan is run by retards or something?
You're describing a course of action that would not only be humiliating but also not beneficial to the Japanese government. They are literally sitting on a potential gold mine of unprecedented proportions in the form of that gate, and here you are telling that the realistic course of action is for them to act against their self-interest and call other people to plunder it?

The only time Japan would consider courting other nations to join them would be if they were literally threatened and told that if they didn't, bad things were going to happen. Or if they screwed the pooch hard and started losing. Even then, it would not be 100%.

Tell you what, your idea is incredibly unrealistic. I don't know what kind of reality distortion bubble you've been living your entire life in, but it's not the real world. In real world, the Japanese government is not incompetent to that degree.

>>136087439
Not that anon, but did you forget the earthquake? The whole capital, including all soldiers and commanders cried like little girls just by feeling the impact. And it's just a minor one. Artillery and mortars would definitely make them think the judgement day has come. It's humans' nature to fear the unknown, not to immune to them. Being stabbed by your own people sound terrible, but it's nothing compared to being burned to crisp and smashed to tiny pieces. And it's doesn't really matter if the whole army flees from the incomprehensible horror. Before you give me any example about how tenacious armies in history were, remember they at least knew what they're fighting against, you think any modern army still has the will to fight if aliens with super tech that can effortlessly kill millions and totally immune to our weaponry invade earth?

Let's get real, 60000 deaths is either the author's bad-writing or the result of his viciousness toward white people, or both.

Maybe he's just over estimating how badass whites are? I mean, it looks like violence and death is normal in the world beyond the GATE, they also have supernatural magic and fucking dragons flying around. It is possible that huge fireballs aren't completely unheard of.

If you were talking about people straight out of ancient society with no supernatural shit going on, then sure the reaction to mortars and shit is a little understated to say the least.

>>136088402
I think the author has his justification, in a few last decades, the Japanese government has been tirelessly trying their best to rewrite history and make their student believe they committed no war crime in WW2, or even make them believe war crimes they committed weren't war crimes at all, but something normal and acceptable. This author sounds like a far-right nationalist so no wonder he bought all their shits to the point of trying to portray war crimes in a good light.

There's also the NID/Trust arcs, which have corporate/political America straight-up sabotaging the program for profit. And you have Russia etc. calling America's bluff when they claim to have no problems in the program.

And if you're comparing GATE and SG1, SG1 wins by a landslide for having strict quarantine procedures for returning personnel, probes which gather scientific data before sending personnel through, keeping most personnel home-side in case the portal closes, etc. There's way more consideration of what could go wrong when sending people to an arbitrary world.

You miss the point that even though magic exists in Gate world, it's very rare for their citizens there to witness powerful magic. The fireball only their most talent archmages can create inflicts less damage than a grenade and they thought a flying lizard is totally unbeatable.

Do you know what happens to resource-rich countries with joke armed forces who try to say "this is all mine, hands off" to superpowers?

Japan also has zero extraction expertise and not enough capital to fund extraction programs. Who are the people that do? Chinese, Americans, Russians, and Aussies. Japan would make far more with processing and royalties while letting other people do the extracting.

>>136096960
Could be religious. Earthquake could be associated with end times in their religion. Human response to events is dependent on what they associate them with. Or if they associate them with anything at all.

This cannot be explained. It could be fucking anything, since you're talking about a mental response from beings capable of both reason and denial of objective reality. I mean there was this man who stood smiling at the grave of her daughter, a daughter who was murdered by some black gentlemen. That man said he forgives the murderers and has become friends with them.
Like what the fuck? That mental response doesn't make any sense.

>>136097195
You're not making a point. In GATE that didn't happen, USA decided they didn't want to threaten Japan to back off and take over the operation for the time being.

China, Russia and USA have no capital either. They are all debt spending and heading toward economic collapse, as is Japan. in fact, it's possible that China's bubble is literally crashing right now, and if it happens then the rest of the world might crash along it.
Furthermore I have no idea what you mean by "extraction experience", are you trying to say that Japan is some pre-industrialized third world shithole?

>>136073079
