| The sword that takes life gives life |
| That was some EPIC action! Japan finally counter attack and damn the Empire got their ass kick so bad. The stupid prince is too stupid to think and ask help from a slave rofl, did he forgot that he destroy her country/clan? Pina...I still feel nothing toward her since she get her stupid self into that shit. Next episode will be the last of this series and more killing! |
 |
| Meh episode, it started off well, but tried to hard at the end. Last scene however was pretty good, with the princess being beaten or raped, I could't really tell. |
 |
Yeah, I'm thinking that too! I get the idea that the SDF did not go after Pinya because they did not realize that she had been imprisoned. I liked that the synchronizing of watches coincided with the start of the OP "Live up to those wings on your chest!" I think they did, sir, I think they did. Zorzal has developed a serious dependency on Tyule's counsel. Sucks to be you, Zorzal! Pinya sure wasn't happy. I don't think its a case of simply a privileged person being tossed in a dank dungeon. I think she realizes the capitol was under attack, and all her hard work for peace with Japan has just gone down the sewer. She has shown she genuinely loves the Empire and wants it to survive and thrive, and there she is, unable to do squat with a ringside seat to her nation's destruction. Next week: the Great Itami Prison Raid! Having Bulletproof Rory, Mage-Canon Leilei and Thunder-caller Tuka along is sure gonna help! Oh, and Assassin Yao too! |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| Yess fucking kill them all. Fucking kill Zolzal next   |
| Hi there |
| Pretty action packed episode. That parachute attack XD. Poor Pina :( 4/5 |
 |
| Is is just me or is Itami taking his f^cking time? Christ's-Sake, he took 2 episodes just to get to the capitol, wth. Glad Pina seems to be ok just distraught I thought this episode might go a different direction, possibly a darker situation. Thankfully it didn't Loved the overwhelming ass kicking Zolzal's troops got with a handful of the JSDF. They wouldn't last 30 mins against a full JSDF army. Hilarious the only causality is an arrow in a soldier's shoulder. |
 |
| If ever the opening theme fit an episode it was this one...This episode was so intense that couldn't look away for even a second. WOW!! And to think that next week is gonna be the grand climax. Looking forward to it.. Jarjaxle said: Have to hand it for Tyuule...for being a Woman that is HELLBENT for Empire's destruction and Revenge, she is quite Good Manipulator....It will be until Season 3 we see her dead for sure...unless Animators change things for ending this in next episode. I think she survives until end of the Civil war...Haven't read the novels tough...and manga is not that far yet. ichii_1 said: HYPE episode, that military slaughter was beautiful :'( How are they gonna die exactly? If they surround the jsdf fast enough it might work.  Just got somewhat worried tough...did Empire or Assassin Piper actually plan something at advance...JSDF just won...why is Itami Worried... I would be worried too. It's Itami's area for "running away" or better yet, anticipating and avoiding potential danger so if he's in a hurry like now, better know that something bad is gonna happen. |
| Great episode, The SDF massacred the imperial army,Expected but still good to watch. Zolzal is just an indecisive arrogant king, Always turning to Tyuule for help. This episode really proved that. Hope they rescue Pina soon |
 |
| Yes! massacre those bitches. I hope they kill Zorzal and Tyuule and brutalize their bodies afterwards. Well it seems it's up to Itami to save Pina. Final episode is coming. |

0celot said: Ever heard of white torture? It is probably the worst kind of pshychological torture. Just read thisL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_tortureoldskoolpunk said: Pina is just freaking out and pounding on the door. Solitary confinement itself is a form of psychological torture. Inmates that are in solitary for long enough start to experience psychological disturbances like panic attacks, paranoia and psychosis. Her 'freaking out' at the end is pretty much a textbook panic attack that's even more severe because she has nobody to talk to. Those who are having a severe panic attack literally feel as if they are going to die. |
|
| This is the episode I have been waiting for and boy was I not disappointed! This episode was action packed filled and literally had me at the edge of my seat wanting more, Literally was really awesome to see this huge scale operation to save all the pro peace people from the capital and the jade palace and omg it was so satisfying to see the prince's face when they were losing. Seriously though how stupid can he be as he keeps asking tyuule on what to do literally being a puppet in her plan...like does no one else notice this? His subordinates don't even seem to notice like really is everyone there stupid? Overall awesome episode filled with tons of action and of course leaving us with that big cliffhanger of poor Pina stuck and Itami and crew coming to save the day! I honestly cannot wait to see next weeks episode which is the final and see how everything goes and maybe hopefully we get another season? I definitely want a season 3! If you want to see my full review on the episode check out the link to my YouTube channel on my profile page where I make review videos on the current anime! |
| The war....I mean massacre, was nice to see, although I was starting to feel bad to Empire Soldiers because they couldn't do shit besides wounding a JSDF soldier and Bozes's horse. Zolzal's face when he saw Paratroopers was priceless. |

| Nice, 1 episode full of war, the bloodshed is good. too bad JSDF is IMBA/OP, their casualties almost none. Really, it always good to see GATE without Itami. Tyrule decision dissapointed me, she fail to provoke JSDF and our "hero" into anger, her idea to destroy zolzal is good though, and it's almost success. maybe she can achieve it easier if she use pina as a victim, tell those soldier to torture her, rape her etc, if this happen, her retainer, friends, and our "hero" will try to save her no matter what, fullscale war, drama, more bloodshed = good, and it help to make GATE look more SEINEN too. LOL next eps, maybe about political things; media and world will think about japan's move, meh... in the end moe anime just moe, generic harem just harem. No more |

Aversa said: Those are not C-17s. They're Kawasaki C-1s from the JASDF. Even with just the first close-up of the front, you can see how there's a bit of a hump behind the cockpit (and that boxy structure), with the wings situated much higher. On a C-17, the top of the wings would be even with the roof of the cockpit - no hump, no boxy structure. The subsequent daylight shot also specifically shows only 2 engines per plane. The C-17 has 4. And finally, the planes had Japanese markings. Japan does not operate C-17s - they're not politically viable because their size makes them best suited for large-scale offensive or expeditionary operations. So Zorzal's forces didn't stand a chance again which wasn't very surprising seeing the differences. It was nice seeing those paratroopers in action tho. Those aircraft if i am not mistaken where C-17 Globe masters? htsuji said: It's also the standard for every military, US included. In fact, the 24-hour clock is often called "military" or "army" time in the US.I don't know what you mean. The mission continued from 0630(06:30 am) to 1800(06:00 pm), didn't it? Japanese common people usually use 24-hour clock, by be way, which is one of the most commonly used international standard. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_clock "The 24-hour clock is the convention of time keeping in which the day runs from midnight to midnight and is divided into 24 hours, indicated by the hours passed since midnight, from 0 to 23. This system is the most commonly used time notation in the world today, and is used by international standard ISO 8601." greed2 said: It's politics. A huge portion of the Japanese people, and especially the youth and media types, have a negative view of militarism, and the JSDF is obviously associated with that and treated in a negative manner as a result. Thus, it becomes something of a cliché. It might not be truly accurate, but it skews to the beliefs of the creators and target audience. Kind of like how conservatives are all over American film and television as villains, or older ones from the '70s were all about evil government.hlubkoj2020 said: That was some EPIC action!

This feels refreshing compared to Outbreak Company where Frankly, in many anime such as Elfen Lied the JSDF would usually be the "bad guys," so it seems good that we get to see the JSDF being the "good guys" in one anime. I can't think of how many times, in anime/manga, the JSDF are the bad guys. |

| Now, I'm not normally one to play the SJW card, but the whole damsel in distress thing they had going at the end was total bullshit considering these ladies had already been well established as capable soldiers.

No. If the US Army went through the Gate, the US would have sustained several dozen fatalities because of the ridiculous rules of engagement they are saddled with. Well no shit, because of the author's bias, the JSDF doesn't need things like "rules of engagement" to prevent civilian casualties. The JSDF in this show could pitch a grenade into a crowd of civvies and not so much as scratch a single one. |
| Hm, that massacre. Can't wait for the finale. |
 |
| Finally! I've waited so much for this episode, i'm so happy that they finally taught those bastards another lesson and saved everyone (Piña will be saved by Itami xD). Love those moments when they think that they have a chance with their shields, swords & bows, and then BOOOM hahaha they are dead. The military did a good job on this mission, very fast and efficient, the number of people that they used to perform those "small" missions, like 3 or 4 guys did so much, i'm referring to those guys that had the mission to free the gates and clear the prison. Poor princess Piña. That ending part!!! Can't wait to see Itami punching that prince in the face, and hope that bunny bit*** will get what she deserves. Can't believe that this is the last episode, i felt in love with this anime, i hope there will be a 2nd/3rd season because this anime deserves it! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Man, this second season has been absolutely amazing. |
| There's no doubt in my mind that Tyuule has become the "Rasputin" of the GATE world. |
| Terrific episode, and we finally get to see something we've been dying to see. The wrath of modern warfare against the empire. Tatsumi is about to save the day and hopefully get the harem. I cannot believe it's the last episode of GATE next week. It makes me want to tear up. shanimebib said: An anime for plebs. One more episode and I will be glad this is over. Season 3? I don't give a sh!t because I won't be watching. Coming from the guy who worshiped Sound Steaming Pile of Garbage Euphonium. |
greed2 said: The anti-American Military sentiment on Okinawa is also derived from other issues. First, the general anti-military sentiment among Japanese people. Second, the issue of space - Okinawa's very crowded and the people there would love to have the space the US facilities occupy for further domestic development. And third, the feeling of Tokyo and Washington DC imposing on the locals without them getting a say. The issue of crime related to the base is small potatoes, but a convenient vent and scapegoat. If no US soldier committed a single crime, most of the hatred would still be there. Reporting on said crime is similar to the recent trend in the US with regards to cases like Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. The cases are blown out of proportion even before the evidence is in, and the reporting focuses on reinforcing preconceived notions instead of facts. And through all of it, real issues are ignored.

Kind of like how conservatives are all over American film and television as villains, or older ones from the '70s were all about evil government. Ah I see, thank you. Come to think about it. The Japanese think negatively about Okinawa’s American military, mostly due to some drunk idiots causing trouble thus leading to a new curfew rule, so it’s common to see the American military portrayed badly in anime/manga. Um, well, maybe he had a flat tire. Or there was some traffic problems, like let’s say the recent earthquake caused some roads and bridges to be destroyed. Also, don't forget this is a "fantasy setting." In those fantasy games, as the main character goes on a journey, we would often see monsters along the road. Or maybe . . . it's just a good distance away. He can only go so fast, and it's not like an independent city would be right next to the capitol of the empire. |
| Episode was so great that I actually made a Gate X Bf4 parody loading screen dedicated to this episode. |

| Finally the clash!! As much as I've been waiting for this, does anyone else get a little turned off by the absolute massacre? Automatic weapons vs swords? Like, I get it, but I just see a boy King using people as expendable pawns, and I'm not fully convinced they deserve to be slaughtered. His new gestapo force, sure, kill all those assholes. But the soliders? C'mon, they're just looking for a stable job in a medieval world, you can't be picky! Not when there's only 5 jobs back then, and solider is the less shitty one. They gotta provide! They got kids! WHAT ABOUT THEIR KIDS. Don't get me wrong, I love this show, way more than I thought I would tbh, but I'm finding it hard to distance myself from those feelings. |

Maverick69, if you don’t mind me asking, I know your profile pic is Inori, from Guilty Crown, but in the other picture are those two girls from any anime/manga? True, but he could have been there already had the author wanted him to be. They are from the Monogatari Series: Second Season(watch the second episode shower scene specifically). Senjougahara, Hitagi and Hanekawa, Tsubasa are the 2 girls. |
|
| It might be war in Zolzal's head but it's pretty much domination aka massacre on SDF's end. So it seems Tyuule just wants to take the empire down with her, quite a spiteful person. Don't worry Pina, Itami's on his way. To bad he couldn't just radio a helicopter or something to get there much faster. |

I would conclude it would take 7-8 hours to reach the cap going at an average speed of +/-100km/hr. You have to also remember; he would be driving on dirt road. The roads in the special region would be equivalent to the Australian out back dirt roads. Not to mention there was an earthquake. http://i62.tinypic.com/10rmtcm.jpg |

| Decent enough episode, but it's too bad Itami spent the entire episode driving, now i have to wait another week to see him save the Princess and (hopefully) give that white rabbit what she's got coming to her.

Life isn't always white or black, but is often various moral shades of grey, and it's never fair. Those soldiers were under orders to kill our protagonists, so there's wasn't much choice but to kill if necessary. The lesser of two evils, the second evil being disobeying your orders and letting those people you're supposed to save, rot in prison and/or die. |

Maverick69 said: The previous ep stated the operation to commence at 0630 tomorrow. It showed Itami driving just after sundown. Not knowing the reigns seasonal orbit, it would be hard to predict what time it was. But lets presume sundown is at 1800 and Sunrise 0600 as shown in this ep. So it is safe to say itami started to leave Rondel at 1830 while hearing the op's detail through the radio. Normally military personal go lights out at 2200. But for the sake of simplicity lets say Itami stopped and camped at 2200. Itami would of already traveled 3.5hrs, about around half the distance if we went with my calculations. He would only need another +/-4hrs to reach his destination. Lets presume he woke up at 0500. He should of already arrived around 0900-0930. Well within the time the operation was underway.

We'll see next week how quickly he can get there and rescue her. Now this is presuming he was going in a perfect straight line. But as we know from the map, he had to pass a mountain range. Without knowing the terrain conditions; there is no way to predict travel time. We can only presume it would be the same as his travel to Elbe Clan. As you would know, he had to take many detours. But we can be sure he still didn't make it even when the op finished at 1800. The real question would be, would the terrain be that bad it would take up the extra 9hr's? In conclusion, this is an anime and there is no point in thinking too much hahaha. |

NIM7 said: In conclusion, this is an anime and there is no point in thinking too much hahaha. Haha yes it is, my opinion was just a based on the visuals I didn't put that much time into guessing the travel route/times. I am ready for him to get there and kick Zorzals ass's though. |
