Because the original author Takumi Yanai is a Banzaiboo who believes Japan did nothing wrong by invading China during World War II.

his political beliefs aside, surely he cant ignore the realities that Article 9 is in the constitution - whether he agrees with it or not.

Those don't last as long for some reason, even if the quality is better. The next raw chapter should be out in 7 hours though, so maybe that's a chance for a better one.

It would be nice if each girl was as high quality as the individual images he makes too, and 2000 pixels tall. And from multiple angles. But getting everything isn't reasonable.

Technological superiority and correct political geographical location.

Foreign world invaded a city with military forces first. Japan just sent in an expeditionary force, which was immediately attacked with massive numbers and no attempts to communicate.

The locals proved to be so stupid that it amazes me they ever got past banging two rocks together.

>I should've used VLC
wew

Article 9 of their constitution, which if I recall correctly were part of the peace treaty with the US so you could say this violates the peace treaty. plus you want to tell me the other nations of the world just sat by as Japan gained access to a whole new world rich with resources? the partition of Antartica was a widely debated international issue which was debated for over 200 years before and during the League and nations and the UN later on so I seriously doubt the rest of the nation would just site by here.

In their defense this does take place in the future of 20XX. So they could have revised the article. There are talks in japanese parliament right now of paving the way for Japan to have a 'proper military' again. Although how soon thats going to happen is another matter entirely.

Rewatch the show. The Imperial army original stood at one hundred thousand. By the battle of Italica there are only ten thousand left.

yeah, I meant a few hundred thousands. no biggie. Corona-chan will kill more.

governments are killing machines what do you expect?
you don't get defense from the state

Shino is best girl.

its been a while since I've watched it, but wasn't the reasoning that since the gate was on Japanese soil, by extension, what was beyond the gate was also Japanese soil? So "Self defense" was perfectly in line?

>they dont have something like Article 9 of the Japanese constitution.
If the JSDF violates Article 9, is the constitution going to come to life to punish them? Systems of politics and law are mere illusions which rely solely on the will of the populace to make them manifest. The wars launched in the Middle East after 9/11 were justified with fictions (9/11 was an inside job, Al Qaeda itself was a creation of the CIA and Mossad; the anthrax attack was also an inside job as proven by analysis of the anthrax itself showing its origin to be the US' own bioweapon stockpile; the WMDs in Iraq narrative was pure fiction cooked up by the Bush administration) and violated international law, but the very mechanisms for enforcing those laws are controlled by the same military-industrial complex which broke them. The general public gobbled up the fictions and the wars proceeded without real consequence for the masterminds behind them.

Similarly, Japan could easily disregard Article 9 if the populace are given a narrative which rouses their martial spirit to a degree greater than their care for constitutionality. Let alone that there are already rumblings about changing the constitution anyway.

Yes, considering the other side of that gate was hostile to them and attacked them first. They set up a military base at the other side to prevent another incursion right into their capital city.

>gate appears in capital
>monsters and soldiers invade, kill and kidnap people
>try to get shit under control and rescue citizens
>reeeeeeeee ebil japan invading peaceful country reeee

I don't really care for how the series portrayed the USA as an enemy

They could've stopped after taking the hill, no need to push further out. at that point it became a clear offensive.

I think that was the excuse they used. Since a situation like that doesn't fit into anything people would normally expect they would just use the best excuse they had available. It would have been more difficult if the gate opened in a random place in that world and they weren't invaded.

Their citizens are literally being enslaved by the retarded prince.
It was absolutely necessary especially since it was only a question of time until the enslaved japs died.

Didn't they mostly stop there too and the rest was just exploration, or at least until they started getting attacked again?

pina colada is fine too.

There are some examples of foreign deployment of self-defense forces.

>In 2004, the Japanese government ordered a deployment of troops to Iraq at the behest of the United States: A contingent of the Japan Self-Defense Forces was sent in order to assist the U.S.-led Reconstruction of Iraq. This controversial deployment marked a significant turning point in Japan's history, as it is the first time since the end of World War II that Japan sent troops abroad except for a few minor UN peacekeeping deployments. Public opinion regarding this deployment was sharply divided, especially given that Japan's military is constitutionally structured as solely a self-defense force, and operating in Iraq seemed at best tenuously connected to that mission. The Koizumi administration, however, decided to send troops to respond to a request from the US. Even though they deployed with their weapons, because of constitutional restraints, the troops were protected by Japanese Special Forces troops and Australian units. The Japanese soldiers were there purely for humanitarian and reconstruction work, and were prohibited from opening fire on Iraqi insurgents unless they were fired on first. Japanese forces withdrew from Iraq in 2006.

>The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force deployed a force off the coast of Somalia to protect Japanese ships from Somali Pirates. The force consists of two destroyers (manned by approximately 400 sailors), patrol helicopters, speedboats, eight officers of the Japan Coast Guard to collect criminal evidence and handle piracy suspects, a force of commandos from the elite Special Boarding Unit, and P-3 Orion patrol aircraft in the Gulf of Aden.[85] On 19 June 2009, the Japanese Parliament finally passed an anti-piracy bill, which allows their force to protect non Japanese vessels.[86] In May 2010, Japan announced it intended to build a permanent naval base in Djibouti to provide security for Japanese ships against Somali pirates.[87]

I wish it focused more on finding and killing monsters like those instead of larger battles with monsters as part of the empire's military.

>invaded by a country completely unprovoked and attacks and enslaves some of your people.
>they got in way over their heads and got btfo by superior tech.
Japan should have fucking leveled their cities dismantled the government and freed all the slaves. Fuck those slaving niggers if the tech situation was reversed they would have enslaved all of japan

They were. They nearly conquered all of Asia so how is that not strong? They fucked it because they mess with USA.

it took them 2 wars, the second one lasting for like 8 years? and they couldn't even conquer China. how is that all of Asia?

There are many fine girls in this.

Thats WW2 Japan. before they got castrated by MacArthur

They conquer half of China and a large portion of SEA. If they just stick to one war and don’t mess with USA then they might have conquered all of China. Whether they would have attack India after conquering China is questionable but they were strong though, it is just that they messed with the wrong country.

thats a big maybe. the second Sino-Japanese war started mid 37 iirc, Pearl Harbor was late 41. gives them a good ~8.5 years before the US got in the war yet they didnt do anything. they also had a NAP with the Soviet so no weren't at risk of getting invaded via Korea.

>yet they didnt do anything
I should rephase that. they were fighting China but at a crawling pace. and lets not forget China was fractured, reeling after a civil war which wasn't actually over but they merely had a ceasefire during the Japanese invasion. yet Japan still had trouble conquering it. So Japan wasn't that strong. especially with the embrago on it from the US and the allies strangling their production of military goods.

>what the US did in response to 9/11?
turned itself into a police state?

>dude, just let them kill and rape your citizens!
it's an anime about the JIDF, not the Bundeswehr

>send manufacturing facilities through the Gate
>disassemble and send large portions of existing infrastructure through the Gate
>send large groups of civilian population through the Gate
>Gate's gonna close sometime
>Everyone else- china, russian, europe, america show up to japanese islands, which have been turned into gutted ghost towns

Sure, Japan loses a handful of islands, but they gain technological, economical, intellectual and financial superiority in a world full of magic
The Earth loses a nation, Gate World gets one.
The Imperial lands become Japan.

the comfort women thing has some very reaonable questions.

>send manufacturing facilities through the Gate
I thought the gods didn't like that? Even if they didn't approve, I wonder if they could allow some isolated island somewhere to be advance as long as it didn't spread technology outside I doubt Rory would personally care that much, and maybe in time she could help remove the other gods.

Underrated

I clearly meant JSDF mind you. The letter J just does something weird to me.

>it was only a question of time until the enslaved japs died.

one of them did die. Norikos boyfriend died in a mine collapse and Zorzal had it covered up to avoid the Japanese using it as an excuse to annex them.

Thanks to an ammend on article 9, the JSDF is allowed to strike preventive attacks. In reality, the JSDF is a regular army, one of the biggest armies in the world, but nips don't change the official names that easily

They did damn fine in WW1, and if the treaty of versailles didn't fuck them over so hard, things might not have gone down that path of conquest. Remember, they were on the allied side, while the winners in the west got everything, the winners in the east got fucked. this really shaped the sentiment for the next few decades.

Bacause this anime is Imperialist Propaganda. Japan is getting ready as well, they've already modified their constitution allowing the Self Defence Force to act outside Japan along their allies.

To stop another attack from happening.

I still watched it for the waifus though.

Stole oil and expanded jewish settlements?

EVERYONE'S GETTING LAID!
