This anime: *No matter your calibre of magic, there's always a rifle calibre above you.*
@@martydenys5884 u alright bruv?
@@martydenys5884 Yeah, I know that. That's just how this anime goes. Dragon shows up, F-16 shoots it down.
Also its caliber if your talking the american caliber like 308., Or 30-06.

@@drazoric2275 There are no F-16 in the anime, only F-4s
Plus in Japan, they operate Mitsubishi F-2, not F-16
As a NSFW artist, I'm surprised by how many military operators are just like Itami
Getting followed or commissioned by dudes in active military service is always so funny to me, mad respect to those guys
I remember my NCO in basic was the most boring dull person I've ever met turns out he a fucking helicopter sniper commander. How the fuck this guy was badass but seemed like he would correct me on star wars lore is beyond me
What’s your Twitter name
"Yeah draw this huge tiddy elf on a sexy uniform"
@@mucklowthebaronofmercia8295 The badasses are often the unassuming ones.
@@mucklowthebaronofmercia8295 i alreadly like 'your NCO.
Ya know, Itami makes a perfect SF soldier. He looks inconspicuous, the last guy you expect to be hold valuable information, therefore, the most effective.
Hollywood has people thinking SF has to be super macho and handsome. But people forget that the best infiltrators are the ones that can pull up a chair without raising your warning flags.
A lot of special forces in real life look like average joes and are nerdy as hell. Kinda makes sense because people who can do more than just relying on training and instinct alone are perfect for what SF guys do.
some of these guys end up working as OGA's
What is this comment? He’s a good SF soldier because doesn’t like a Hollywood SF soldier? Your comment makes no sense.
Funny thing is that the only reason he got those ranks is because nobody can catch him, dude is a literal master of running away
a true descendant of the JoJo blood
Yes and no. The thing with him being a Ranger...is that he still would've had to endure the training...which is no mean feat. Yeah, his specialty may be the GTFO maneuver, but the guy is a certified badass, and he demonstrates it time and again in the show.
.
Itami is a genuine hero, because he doesn't want to be one. He just wants to live his life, but he's nominally a good person, and won't refuse to help someone in true need. The weird combination of his drive to support his hobby, and his need to do the right thing, even at great cost to himself, is what pushed him to acquire the skills he has.
.
Kuribayashi is cool, and tough...but honestly, she's just a common thug, but with a conscience. If they came to blows, Itami would win if he were fighting for what's right. Otherwise, yeah, he'd probably just bail.
... Commisar Ciaphas Cain? Hero of the Imperium?
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 another thing is im pretty sure that they give both ranks to him because they knew that even tho he was lazy and barely tried at all to get out of it, he was indeed capable
@@doubt3430 his trainers basically dragged him, bribed him and outright manhandled him into finishing the training even though he tried to escape each and every time.
They didn't relent until he passed. His grade during the ranger training was like a point or two above passing, bare minimum but it worked.
Tbh we all have a friend who just somehow gets into the best places without even trying
basically me but put "not" in front of "me"
Ah... How about I got into the "best places" without even trying... Or even consent?
Yep, that's freaking true.
The fact that he's so relaxed and a slacker, in my opinion, highlights his qualities even more.
If being a Ranger means he went through hellish training in the military and yet he's still an otaku pervert, that means his mind is made of fucking titanium and nothing can traumatize him.
I would want a guy like him by my side if apocalypse happens.
Bro got that Pennsylvania steel mental fortitude.
Well he DID kill a guy with a knife in Episode 1 without blinking and then began issuing orders, so that alone says something.
No he is just too good at running the fuck away from his duties that they just put him in special forces
Episode 1 itself showed how strong his mind, when everyone was frightened, he simply went on to fight and issue orders. Says a lot about him.
@@subhankarbaral9236 He was just fucking pissed that the attack cancelled the anime convention. Being royally pissed off can cause people to go into hyper focus mode.
This dude was forced to do all those thing and survived just to do his hobbies.
A true hero without doubt
His S qualification is more badass when you understand what SERE training entails (his most noticeable expertice that contributed most to Itami's S qual, aside from passing other basic requirements). I've never been in the military but watched a lot of youtube vids so take this with heaps of salt tho.
You're actually not supposed to escape in SERE. If you go out of the training area, the instructors will get serious and smoke you afterwards. You're supposed to survive as long as possible inside the training area, and get captured. You are meant to experience the torture that comes afterwards too, to learn the stress and mental toll of the whole ordeal.
Meanwhile, Itami was stated to hide long enough that the instructors gave up the search. He is so OP that he broke the training program lol
hahaha last sentence wtf
Never underestimate the determination of an otaku - i guess.
He is also pragmatic....
Like using "torture" on a designated enemy leader in a combat simulation training.
What’s even funnier is they couldn’t find him because he fell asleep.
Yep, with that kind of skill he’d definitely be recommended for SF training. Imagine being able in infiltrate enemy lines consistently without them even knowing that you’re there.
Itami was actually thrown in ranger school on purpose because his superiors hated him and somehow Itami survived it.
I think it was the same with the special forces boot camp
His senior ranger said himself that No one can catch him if he on the run. That mean he got 10/10 on Rescue, Escape, and guerilla
Means itami can really fuck you up if he tries
Which makes the scene where he's held prisoner by the Order of the Rose all the more important. He's *letting* them take him prisoner by choice. If he wanted to, he could be leading them by the nose all day and night without them even being able to touch him, let alone drag him along back to Italica. He's prioritizing their cooperation contract with Princess Pina over his own personal safety.
@@RavenAdventwings exactly
I just believe that Kuribayashi isn't breaking down over the fact that Itami got into any of those prestigious ranks, but for the fact that a guy like him, most likely the type she hates the most is able to achieve such feats before her or she ever will.
Yea I almost had this reaction - was taking care of this military vet in the hospital. On break I overheard the nurses talking how he was a badass in Vietnam, trained in both army and marines, been court martialed for striking an officer (the officer wanted a salute, this guy refused as snipers were a thing, officer raged hell about it, in coming fire, and this guy straight out hit the officer to the ground out of harms way and this officer STILL court martialed him…the vet refused to apologize as to do so would mean his action which saved this officers life was wrong) and I swear they were adding more to the story
I came back to the room and saw the vet going through channels looking for something specific - seeing me he said “I’m looking to what my grand children introduced to me…it’s not a cartoon…Hentai? No no…anime, I can’t find anime on here. You know where we can watch anime? Or better yet, what was it…vocal bot? Vocal Ade? It’s the singing computer person.”
Me: Siri?
Him: no no… what’s her name…long pig tails nearly ankle long… and those blonde twins…
Me: VOCALOID!!!!!!!
Him: Oh you like them too?
Edit: I had plenty of Vocaloid on my phone and we shared our favorites - he was overjoyed to find out there were English and Polish Covers. He did not know there many more vocaloids, he only knew of Miku, Len and Rin, Meiko, and Kaito
He was also surprised to learn I was a former Gravy Corpsman and ALSO loved Vocaloid
Please for the love of god tell me this is made up cause if its not than this is has to be the funniest vet story I’ve ever heard.😂
@@hentiluvr1579 no no. Please tell me this was real! Cause the story of the younger ones teaching him about vocaloids and him expecting to be able to find them on TV was so sweet.
@@Filcayra72 well, those "younger ones" might've also showed him "hentai". That is kind of wack, man.
@@midgetman4206 *shudders* I hate to admit it but that’s unfortunately my quite valid as a possibility and now I’m scared 😂
@@mysticdragonwolf89 I'm saluting you sir! -_-7
Actually, he is the perfect example of a Ranger and Special Forces: They are, after all, infiltration personnel and trained to blend in inconspicuously. Just your average joe. Their training, however, their ability to act bad-ass when it counts is what sets them apart from everybody else. I lived next to a guy for 12 years as a kid, never imagined he was in the special forces. But he was.
You also need to remember that he's a Ranger and Special Forces because he's lazy. Surprisingly, the laziest people in the military are also the hardest working-because they'll do whatever needs to be done so they can go back to slacking off.
@@threestrikesmarxman9095 Yeah. My old Uni professor once said to me that the most effective working people are the laziest -- they only care to do things once. Hast is often waste.
@@TheAngelOfDeath01 Basically my work mantra in any field i get into, especially office work. Give me a job to do and i'll do 1 pass to know it better. 2nd pass to find out how i can improve on efficiency. 3rd pass would be to game it and see how fast i can leave my last time record. But that's assuming i don't just outright figure it all out in the 1st pass.
A day's work can done in the span of 2 hours so i can just slack off for the next 6 hours. Lmao what i absolutely dislike are the fixed time ones, like tasks i can't do unless it's X'oclock because of whatever reason (this is especially prevalent in clerical jobs like Human Resources which is my speciality). Because i can't just chuck the fixed time tasks along with the rest of my stuff, my slack preiod gets disturbed, and sometime's it's a welcome disturbance, most of the time it's not.
Err, no. At least in the US, Rangers are crack infantry, and while the SOF are sometimes used as infiltrators, their mission profile is mostly "hide in a bush and count tanks" rather than grey-man spy shit.
Ah yes, A ranger and SF and somehow works in a normal infantry unit. Total BS
The thing is, if you look at Itami's track record so far, it's not all that surprising. When the gate opened, he responded without hesitation and showed great CQC skills even in odd situations. He has great situational awareness and a keen response to action, leading him to kill dragons. He acts aloof and relaxed to raise morale and make friends, but when shit hits the fan, he focuses up real quick. He may not have the best skills out there, but he's a good fit for what he's earned. I can't remember if it was his ranger certification or his S certification, but I remember reading somewhere that a group of (I think) special forces members were sent out to find him and they couldn't find him for a week. He ended up coming out on his own and no one knew where he was despite their best efforts in tracking. He was commended for his incredible ability to get tf outta dodge and stay far from trouble, so they went ahead and certified him because anyone that can elude special forces alone for a week is a monster in their own right.
伊丹はレンジャーという厳しい教育課程を修了すると与えられる資格を保有しています。また陸上自衛隊特殊作戦群の元隊員でもあります。特殊作戦群（S）は陸上自衛隊の特殊部隊であり、装備や訓練、隊員の情報（顔など）、選抜試験内容は非公表です。彼らの能力は不明だが、アメリカ陸軍のグリーンベレー（アメリカ陸軍特殊部隊群）やデルタフォース、イギリス陸軍のSAS（特殊空挺部隊）、ドイツ陸軍のKSK（特殊戦団）、オーストラリア特殊部隊等、各国の特殊部隊を参考にしています。かっこいい😎
Perfect guy for a recon mission.
The only respectable isekai protagonist, Itami Yuuji.
True

What about Izayoi in mondaiji
@@ahborn6961 oh i agree with this one Sakamaki Izayoi
The fact that he joined the army was to fund his otaku hobbies 😂
And the fact that his ex wife is a doujin mangaka.🤣
@@AlexSDU Even better is that he still makes sure she's okay. They may be divorced, but they are not uncivil with each other.
@@ZenAki Indeed. And they divorce not because of some disagreement or something. More like mutual agreement to go their own ways, while maintaining their friendship.
Read the manga. In the part the agent meets the group and describes Itamis' achievements that got him his title, Itami explains that he's there by the anthill method: in a colony of ants, around 30% are lazy. Even if that 30% is removed, after a while another 30% appears. So the army decided to have him as the lazy one to keep the whole JSDF at full strength.
Later on, some other superiors say that Itami is an expert at hiding and running away. Examples followed by him disappearing during some exercises and only finiding him when the exercises are over.
It was to the point that the whole Special force couldn't find him in a one-week exercise designed to hunt him down. The CO of special forces commented "(Itami) has a special talent at sensing danger". To his credit, Itami still knows everything a ranger should know, even if it's to the minimum passing standard, which is still way above any regular combat troop. While not clearly shown you can still tell from his assignment that he is very much an all-rounder (Command Foward scouts -> VIP protection -> Airbone squadron command (The mission he abandoned and nearly got court marshaled) -> resource survey team)
You have a different talent if you can pass every single test at the minimum grade, no matter the difficulty of the test.
Dude, watch the anime.
It was in the anime too. So if you would watch it, you wouldn't look like a superiority complex idiot.
@@StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe The only information left in the Anime was the anthill method. The anime left out the extra information about him being an expert at hiding and eluding capture. So not sure why you're seemingly trying to step on someone providing correct information.
Everyone really *should* read/access the sauce information for most of the anime/shows that they watch, because it normally gives a lot more depth and backstory than the show usually can. I understand that not everyone likes reading, each to their own of course, they just happily miss out on that extra information then.
TBH, your comment makes it sound like you're the one with the superiority complex, trying to call someone out about "not watching the anime" when they are referencing the information provided in the manga, not the anime, and then calling them an idiot, when they provided decent information.
@@Catalyztic
The whole thing was mentioned in the anime. The whole. So your point is inaccurate. And starting an argument with "Read the manga." then telling things which were mentioned in the anime too, like they would never appear in the anime is not referencing information.
In this scenario the anime not left out any information. Which means starting a comment with "Read the manga" is what I called superiority complex.
So itami is just a WTO in everything but rank? Highly skilled, but vanishes constantly
Ironically, men like Itami are actually perfect Commandos because they can work in secret without being suspected.
with the way he acts and everything not even trianed soilders suspected him
@@theodorehazel6920 which is why he’s perfect
@@lemanruss2491 exactly
The E4 mafia... which totally doesn't exist!
Itami is probably the most realistic depiction of a soldier with those kinds of achievements I've ever seen in an anime. Everyone thinks they're buff badasses but they're almost always geeks.
Nobody expects to be murked by a guy dressed as an accountant.
I can understand that he got into and passed both tests of skill and he specifically said that he passed because he wanted to focus on his hobby.
He is a man of focus!, Honestly the empire is lucky his only running around with a gun rather than his original arsenal the mighty pencil.
@@ZeroRequiemDX with a fokin pencil! Who does that?
Once you see Generation Kill, you realize Itami really is your typical modern soldier.
Yep, when I'm watching generation kill I sometimes forgot that those boys were force recon.
He's proof that sometimes the laziest soldiers are the best because they'll find the quickest way to sort shit out so they can go back to being lazy
That's so like me🤣
Me basically
Funnily enough itami's stealth stats and skills is actually top-notched, he managed to hide from his superiors and slacked off reading manga and such lmao
His training during his time in Ranger and SF finally show its result.
in the second season they said that every S member has a special skill. the defence minister asked if Itami is the same as the dudes that they are comanding at the moment, the S commander said "Itami's skill is running away. He's so good at it that if he tries no one in the S can catch him."
AFAIK he also took a superior officer hostage because he wanted to end an exercise as quick as possible and the people in charge of the exercise allowed it because it was a viable strategy.
They once have an exercise where they are plan to make Itami the target. They gave him a day to prepare.
They never found him.
A bit late but that's an actual thing "rangers" or their various equivalents teach. How to get away from a danger situation fast, what equipment can be discarded, how to plot an escape route in various environments etc. Most militaries prefer keeping their trained soldiers alive after all.
He has expertise in Stealth
I love the idea that Itami went to Ranger/Special Forces school to either
A) be petty
B) out of spite
or C) to be spited
Why not all three?
I read the novel and it says something about him being forced into it cuz his superiors wanted him to do something. There's one point where he nearly quit because he had to do some extreme paratroop deployment trainings which cool enough, came into play during last few battles surrounding the gate.
Something along those lines, read it like 3 years ago and got frustrated after hearing some teasers of a "sequel" to it ever since I finished it but never managed to find easily accessible material outside of old ass reddit posts.
Thats how miltary works tbh. Specially at mandatory services.
Or
D) he needed money for a special edition and found out the pay scale over there was pretty good.
He was sent to the Ranger programme as punishment by a superior who didn't expect him to pass and hoped to use it as some leverage, u can guess how that bet played out. As for the Special Forces again another superior wanted to make an example out of him but during his time there he caused them just as much trouble on account during drill involving tracking literally no one (even the trainers and other Special forces) couldn't find the man, At the end of the day this man prios his hobbies first and all the extra courses did was bump his pay meaning he had access to more stuff
When you wanna take it easy but the army foundout you're black ops material
I mean this **is** the dude who they couldn't find during Ranger stealth-training...
@@theghostinthemachine the same dude that used his commander as a hostage to win a hostage rescue scenario within the time limit
@@kitcarandang ... Huh...
@@theghostinthemachine Yep, that guy took his CO hostage during an exercise by threatening to pluck the CO's hairs out if anyone tries anything funny; he did this knowing the CO is balding and tries to preserve his remaining hair as much as possible.
Yeah people tend to forget that special forces, military commanders, rangers, est est, they are still normal people in the end.
The Doom Slayer is feared by all demons, yet he still likes to play video games, guitars, and collects toys to put on his shelf for display. and let's not forget his famous love for bunnies.
Underneath the legend, he's just a normal guy like everyone else.
The thing movies get wrong about special forces unit. Is that theyre not obvious, Grunty, no hobby, serious 100% of the time , edgy badasses. Sometimes its just the weirdly muscular uncle/auntie that like to collect gunplas or play simulators
@@superzilla784 Don't forget that he was only a security guard on Mars before the first demon invasion.
@@actuallysatan7105 Depends on the type in question. The joke “How do you recognize a SEAL/Ranger/Paratrooper? You won’t, he’ll tell you” exists for a reason. Some fuckers make their unit their entire fucking personality.
It's not even the best part: He's actually buddy-buddy with the PM. They're both huge weebs so the PM actually had him run manga runs for him
to give yall her perspective, this is like finding out that weeb you call slurs on cod lobbies is actually in the secret service.
no wonder that one person dominated that one game I was in
Also everyone is basically a conservative now. Liberals who play our video games and use are stuff are basically going extinct.
@@samuelevans5750 eh I would need some proper data to see that as a current trend.
Itami with the spirit of slouch. Always reading light novels under a shady tree, being 'A Mighty Warrior'.
Well the joke about Itami was that his superiors wanted to tortur-erm, correct his lackadaisical attitude by sending him to take very difficult special training courses one after another but he ends up succeeding. In the end, prior to the start of the Gate, whenever his unknowing superiors would joke about him having amazing x skills in this and that field and wrote those down on his qualification papers, the result turned out that he actually is.

This is hard to believe to people outside of military, i was recon so the 3rd elite force in my country but not classified as special forces. But we are goofy as hell one of the guy in my platoon said if he was to die before me I need to say something from Pokémon for his eulogy, I told him to sing let it go from frozen because my daughter loves that song, we are just a bunch of kids with weapons but when the need arises we mature within a min

@@star_reshiram I need to share this with him🤣
“In the end he still hasn’t caught them all. No I will not be trading.”
@@KRDecade2009 when Pokémon blue, red and yellow was released and we being poor high school students got our hands on an emulator, my software engineering class recoded it on one pc so we can trade so we got the all the Pokémons, took the whole class to code it.
The bet part in my mind is they kept putting him in harder and harder things to attempt to drum him out... but he just kept passing.
I think they even mention how that is exactly what his special "ability" is. basically a keen sense of "I don't want to deal with that". or how he avoided the people who were trying to kidnap them by getting them to his ex's house
He just had great adaptation to any situation.Man's built different.And all he wanted is to buy some otaku stuff,it would've been terrifying if he is a serious person
It's even better when the whole reason Itami kept up with his job was to comfortably fund his otaku lifestyle; he was just good at being a soldier so he stuck with it lol.
In the US, of which both JSDF Special Forces School _and_ Ranger School are based off of, both schools have an interesting contrast:
Special Forces school is designed to make you an extremely technically competent soldier. Ranger school is designed to *suck,* and many a candidate has died or suffered permanent mental and physical consequences as a result of the nightmares endured there.
To have completed Special Forces school, you will have proven that when it comes to soldierly tasks, you execute them with razor-like precision and consistency. To have completed Ranger school, you will have proven that your force of will is as strong as any mountain.
And Itami has both.
He basically took the adage of never giving them 100% and ran with it, meaning he is a LOT more capable than he appears, he just doesn't want to show it cause it feels it'd be more trouble than it was worth...IE being given more work and the like which would further eat into his otaku time. Actually, a legit thing for some, since if you show you're capable then your higher-ups often will give you more and more work both in the military and corporate or retail worlds.
I remember one guy on the internet said he dodged a bullet by not claiming he's good at secretary job or something in the military
I kinda forgot the most details but he said it was the most hassling job ever
Kinda make sense,now I see another benefit of being humble.
nothing tops the cake when they all found out he was married though. xD that blew everyone away, even the guy who thought he knew him the most haha
wait itami is married?
@@jjlim3768 yeah but he got a divorce

The only respectable isekai protagonist. Married but divorced afterwards but still on good terms. Bugs me when comment here saying his dense.
I love how Kuribayashi throughout the show continuously undermines Itami’s authority and skill. Sure he’s an otaku, but we’ve seen that he’s only serious when his job calls for it. That’s what I call a professional.
Imagine if you were working with this airhead super dweeb who loves My Little Pony and Barbie dolls, and then it turns out he's actually a highly decorated Navy SEAL. XD
i'm sure these people exist... people have to cope with the horrors of military life when they've seen the shit.
We know these people find ways to cope, be it wine women and song is the stereo type ,
But is it out of place for them to indulge in Anime, Star wars or Star trek when no one is looking?
@@mr6johnclarkOh undoubtedly! Especially since when you're that much of a badass, why would you really need to care about proving anything or people judging you? At that point you like what you like
Idk if this count, in my country there is a dude what you call local hero during civil war/rebellion he stand alone protecting his wounded teammates until rescue arrive and he is now work as a trainer of special force because of that and his hobby is collecting gundam/gunpla and watching anime, not otaku but close 😅

this is the same thing that happens when people find out spec ops are just normal dudes except they can kill you a lot better than others can
Itami being in the rangers was a punishment but he managed to become one miraculously
I know a former Delta Force soldier so I can understand Kuribayashi's reaction. Even though he's retired he still keeps his body in peak physical condition. He had to rush me to the hospital because I tried to keep up with his regimen once.
one of his boss said to the defence minister 'If itami put all efforts in running away, NOBODY can catch him😂
He also turned his team mates into weebs. Their call signs are saber, archer and etc from the Fate series.
The disease is spreading. XD
those codenames were probably decided by the defense minister.
who Itami buys manga for.
not to mention he somehow smuggled mangas into the barracks lol
I mean... for the sniper unit to have callsign Archer isn't weird. Don't remember what Saber was but some assault I guess
@@michakasprzak6869Plus, Saber is the name of at least one fighter plane.
There's nothing in Itami's character that wouldn't allow him to be a spec ops (at least from an anime perspective): Sure he's a perv, nerd and lazy. But when it comes down to it, the man will put his heart and soul into accomplishing his job. Additionally he's a pretty good leader, he knows what each member of his squad is competent at and allocates them accordingly
It's funny, but in the show they explain that what he was better at than anyone else was running away - said he was impossible to catch.
That really can be a valuable skill if used the right way - and he's smart enough that he does so.
@@bobdole4916 And the Japanese MoD/DoD know that too since they thought highly enough of him that they didn't send a whole team as "visible" protection (I say visible as they do send a spec ops team to provide overwatch)
They do somewhat explain things in the story if I remember correctly. Most of the other candidates pushed themselves too much, too fast and too hard. Several of them burned out, while a couple of others committed suicide. Whereas, Itami's personality, mindset and lateral thinking would make things easier for him. The point was that when you have a workaholic mindset like the Japanese, death and burnout is very common. But the philosophy of modern day special forces is that you have highly trained individuals, who have skills and talents not easily replicated, so you want to keep that person around as long as possible.
@@bobdole4916
That means he cannot be POW when necessary xD
But yeah with Spec Ops experience he can surivive

While elite troops get a reputation of being supermen in human form and do have to pass the training it requires, they're still human and the most important part isn't that you're more built than a professional athlete, it's how well they can work as a team and how loyal they are to the group as a whole. It's been proven time and again that a well working smaller group can take on greater forces that aren't well organized.
haha Russian tank go boom
Itami was able to lift up Rory's axe and run off, to the disbelief of Giselle...
...Which is understandable on her part, as The axe _head_ weighed as much as a small car.
Itami may not _act_ like a Ranger, but he's certainly a Superman.
War is quite complex now, special forces 10 years ago were to capture targets (they are trained to capture/kill and leave), elite forces like recon are to scout for targets to make ambushes and have the army move in to station. Not saying army is bad but for my country’s doctrine scouts/recon always head first to get info days before the main force. We can’t really take on any major force since it is at most platoon size, but that being said we will die to the last man if engaged and retreat is impossible, I served in a western country
@@sethjr9815 I had a stroke trying to read this shit
@@nickm5647 how so?
Hilarious moment I remember from the manga is when Itami was recalling how his drill sergeant basically forced him to get the parachutist badge despite his fear of heights.
And he's got a point though - I mean, a ranger who cannot parachute?!
that's just a disgrace tbh if he has no parachute badge HAHA
Ranger courses in Japan are different than in the US. Basically they are elite specialisation in an area: Mountain, Airborne, Underwater, Cold weather, Urban Warfare... Mountain is also available to civilians who works as police or firefighters, and the underwater one to members of the Coast Guard.
One of the great things about Gate is how the other worlders respect the merits of the JSDF, Sure they have guns and explosives, but for someone like Rory, she could slay them all without blinking, yet she's written to admire their talent and strengths. That's cool.
there is a fan theory that she learned about nukes at some point... more correct the power of nukes and the radiation damage it cause and the shocking relation that a tactical nuke is powerful to kill a God.
Proof that true badasses don't need to brag, because they let their actions speak for themselves. It's what makes a POG so easy to spot.
From what I've heard, there's a bunch of dudes in the US SF apparatus that are huuuuge into anime and shit. Like, these guys would go and stack Taliban by the pallet load, rotate back to their PB or FOB, and queue up fuckin Sailor Moon or One Piece or something. The least likely dudes ever are always the hardest.
Had a friend whos whole family was Marines and he said specifically in his tour his buddies got into anime because it was a way to disconnect from the real world in a way normal American shows or cartoons couldn't do. You could watch the entire show and never be reminded of the US, Earth, or real-world conflicts. Everything is Fantasy or Scifi that doesnt involve any real-world aspects or connections.
@@SubzeroBlack68 escapist entertainment at its finest. It’s why as a sci fi fan I migrated to anime years ago. For almost 20 years Hollywood was playing political copy paste with low rent clones but anime was churning out high concept sci fi and mech shows (until the dark times, until the trash shows started half-assing the concepts to run more low grade rom com bait filler).
This is why i prefer anime than whatever woke crap they wanna churn out

If I remember correctly the only reason he got those ranks is because his commanding officer sent him to train as punishment, but since they never could touch him they gave him the ranks to cover up the embarrassment.

Ranger, SF, and his marriage ended amiably. He's such a chad and yet fills all the loser stereotypes XD
I love how Shino is freaking the hell out over the fact the otaku dork in front of her is both a ranger and special forces. It's honestly quite outrageous when you think about it. It's like a commander of an army besieging a city coming to negotiate, accidentally walking through an unmarked minefield and managing to (on an accident, once again) persuade the besieged that he is a god in flesh and making them promptly surrender unconditionally before his divine might. And then walking away, through that very same minefield again, further establishing the impression.
You've clearly never met any IRL elite forces, those guys are fuckin' CRAZY, they're either always on or do not give the singlest of fucks with no inbetween, Itami just happens to be the latter
@@magoshighlands4074 You are correct, I didn't. Which only makes the whole thing even more bonkers to me.
While i wasnt a special forces, i personally made it to SOF enabler over in Cannon AFB which is one of two AFSOC (Air Force Special Operations) bases. Like itami, i never gave up my anime or video game love lol!
@@RratRemi SF guys are some of the chilliest dudes
@@Excalibur01 eh... Its usually a mix. I only served 6 years ( my last commander kinda screwed me over when i was trying to go for 10 atleast) but based on my time you usually had 2 types: the chill guys or the super cop hu-ah types that try to write tickets for everything and always come up to people with an attitude :\
While it's often played off in a trope-y way like this, it's still founded in truth. I've had the pleasure of meeting many people who are special forces (or various levels of equivalent) over the years, and they're basically always some of the chillest and most friendly people.
I've heard it be said that the Special Forces attract three types of people: The mad, the bad, and the sad (read between the lines there). But that hellish training they go though, the education, the self-belief it instils in those who make it and the comradery between members forges them into the people they are.
I remembered in the manga he was part of hostage rescue training exercise. Because Itami was so lazy he points a gun at his CO's head and demands a hostage exchange, what a madlad.
No, didn’t he threaten to pull out the remaining hair on the bald head
You can't mix brains, brawn, nerves, and commitment without getting some oddities thrown in.
it's always the silent ones that goes the maddest... or so the saying goes? or was it hardcore...
Man Itami doesn't look like it. But he's definitely a military genius. And he got a harem to boot with.
That's the beauty about it, anyone could be an S or Black Ops with a goofy personality, but when shit hit the fan it's like they forget their personality and change it to killer

The don't judge a book by its cover legit runs with this man, and its down right funny. You'd never expect this dude to be A ranger and Special Forces given his demenor XD
Ironically it's also not surprising either. Just from my personal observation, I've seen a lot of special forces who are on the leaner side. They look, "weak" if you will. But they are actually very efficient. Basically quite a few special forces look, or even are unremarkable outside of their specialization.
Mind you, he is the weakest of his batch and quite the "bad" influence to his mates(referring to him converting them into weebs). Though he does have an ability that he excel in and that is being an escape artist hahahaha.... Poor Itami sent into ranger training....
rangers are special forces.

Itami is the most respectable for being the only HUMAN Isekaied person with no special ability or some magic shit. Man just relied on his Military Experience so yeah i agree
Can say that rolling around in a humvee talking about waifus has happened in my time in service.
He's a Ranger, he's an otaku and he doesn't hide it, he got married (though he also got divorced because of his wife when he passed through the GATE), in another world he became a nobleman, adopted a daughter, and is loved by the approximately thousand-year-old goddess of death.
That marriage was only out of convenience of money. Broke up after a few months, despite the possibility she might like him and he liking her. Also loved by the princess and might become the next king because he's a nobleman and because he's from the other world and gaining him will give them an alliance.
@@RhysCallinan-cq5re I'm personally voting for the princess route
my own experience, My sector commander. he is a transport truck driver, when i was a jarheaad.
He really easy going and give free candy (he don't smoke don't drink and jacked). later on we saw his car, a black skull wearing goggle with cross paddle.
we still don't know and dont want to ask, but he wear Marine camo unlike the rest wearing jungle green.
then graduation came, he wear in full suit, then we saw a special force badge and a Recon badge....
"Navy Seal have a week of hell but Recon is hell every week"
we learned lateron, him and his mate was in marine and get IED flip his Patrol car. every bone shattered and he have a metal brace inside his leg and pain eat him alive every day. but he pass a Recon training. he said that his mate is a real superhuman.
and a recent one that a jarhead was escape boot camp (my camp is in mountain covered in thick jungle). he saw a smoke and head count is missing then he prepare himself and 2 of the ranger guy go along with him but jungle is too thick and steep that he need to drop all the gear and 2 Ranger guy take role of a relay and fob. he founded the escapee and bring him back.
I do heard this from a retired military personnel (I won't say what branch for anonymity sake); he told me that most retired special forces personnel that he knows often never revealed their career as part of special force unit. They will usually say they're an engineer or some other roles, telling people that it's nothing special.
So Itami being a special force and just kept quiet and chill about it is rather spot on according to what I was told.
This is true, after one of my first deployment some of my civi friends took me to a pub for a drink, one of the guy trying to pickup some girls went to their table and got us to go too and said he was sf sniper (almost spited out my drink because he never fired a shot before) he got me to cover his lies. I was quiet most of the time munching on my fries thinking what I got myself into.
One of the girl asked me where I was heading after drinks, “I said my wife and my son, can’t wait to see them” the look on her face was quite funny

I remember hearing during a podcast, a guest talked about the types of people who get through navy seal training in the US. The guest mentioned that it was people who can make it through the day, despite all the pain and suffering, and come back tomorrow and do it again.
Most of the people were just nobodies in school. They weren't star athletes. They weren't muscular individual. Most of them were scrawny people. I guess Itami is just one of those people who can push on despite all the pain...then again, he is an otaku.
They put a addict through several hell weeks and they ask why they can never find him when they call for exercises.
thats incorrect.
The exercises they were doing were to find Itami and they simply couldn't do it.
Itami isn't dumb or incompetent, quite the opposite, he just is unambitious and unmotivated, doing just enough not to get fired.
And there's absolutely nothing wrong with being content. Never let today's work culture convince you otherwise, no matter how hard it tries.
"Youve gotta pretend to be mediocre, otherwise they'll make you do extra stuff",

Exactly. Ask Saitama.
The reason he is a ranger and special force because of the man he used to hang out with
The leader of the country was his best otaku buddy
Nope. that man can put him in training program but Itami completed them all to get the insigmas. As in the show, his work result is very good.
He just has a laid-back personality. His skills are top of the game
@@MadZwe1 basically his skills are top-notch, but his personality is so laid-back.
The higher ups put him through other rigorous military programs, just to further discipline him. Only for him pass them all and still be laid-back. Which baffles others in general.
Resulting great soldier, but having the worst personality to not match his skills.
Nah. He met a man during this arc
Watch that episode
@@Moonface00z we all know that
Him being friends with Defense Minister doesn't mean he got into Special Force easily
He is friend with him because they have the same hobby
You are saying like he got in because of their friendship, when it definitely isn't. He got in because his superiors know that he is slacking yet has potential, so they send him out of annoyance and his ability.
When you find out the otaku is also one of the deadliest elites of the modern military:
I can somewhat relate, I'm a huge weeb, and usually super lazy, but it always shocks people who know me from that world when they find out I'm also an amateur MMA and Muay Thai fighter XD
Remind me of my friend. He's passed the Special Force training , top rank in his squad too. In his civilian life, he is just a gamer who enjoys Left 4 Dead 2 and Company of Heroes 1/2. But back when was in active service, that bastard beats everyone in a Muay Thai training and last the longest in the survival training.
sound like something came out of an action movie
And that's why you don't judge a book by its cover.
I hooe he will also play CoH 3

My favorite part of the anime is that during training no one can find him cause he's that good from running away from trouble.
Her reaction to finding out this slacker is an elite is hilarious. What's even funnier is this slacker is also the same guy his commanding officers know can pull off the craziest job they have despite all logic saying this guy should not be the guy.

This is such a fun anime. Fun fact(which you probably know now): in the manga they look WAY different. Almost every visual look and design i way different. In the manga the theme of the fantasy world is set on Greece.
I actually didn't know, since I don't own any manga
Respectfully, i think its mix of the ancient world Rome & Greek
2 character design changes I love about the Anime more than the manga: Kuribayashi and Itami's Ex-Wife. They look WAY BETTER in the anime!
i thought it was rome. big empire controlling most of the known world and everything.
The ranger SF otaku that somehow scored with an ancient loli goddess of death..
guess he's doing fine then.
Oh and he's beloved by all sorts of magical wamenz!
He didn't even do anything and the loli fell through n love with him. Maybe that princess carry at that siege but other than that. Same with the rest save the princess ans the elf.

My brother in law is a Navy SEAL. He's been on 23 combat missions (that he could tell me about), is an expert in explosives, completed the Marine Corps' Scout Sniper program, and is basically just the toughest old salt you can imagine.
But you wouldn't guess that about him if you met him out of uniform. I've known him since he was 8 years old (I grew up with my wife; we met when we were 11) and he's always been goofy. He married an equally goofy girl and they have two goofy daughters; I love them all so much because they are just a bunch of good-natured people with a fantastic family dynamic. He's smart, kind, and easygoing. He doesn't stress over anything that isn't important.
I was a Navy officer myself (Surface Warfare), and while I was super serious when I was on the ship and underway, I was easygoing and rather silly when in port and back home with my wife. You have to find a way to separate that hard-edged military man persona from your private life or it will consume you, and what your family needs is not a military officer; they need a loving husband and father.

Man Kuribayashi looks down Itami, well she deserved it. I mean at first I also thought Itami was a normal platoon but I guess that first episode make sense and for that he deserve a medal of honor...
the biggest point, however, is that she's right:
itami was awarded both positions because his superiors wanted to beat some sense into his lazy-ass... and failed miserably. he's got quick wit and is rather level headed during crisis, but not to the extent the other shown members of either team.
his deeds in the beginning was heroic, and impressive, but not surprising much less above average for the other soldiers under his own command.

imagine being a ranger and a special force at same time the only thing missing is him being a seal
SEALs are US and UK navy, and Itami is Special Ground Forces.
Seal are not in the Japan, and Itami is in the Ground unit like the comment above said.
But it would be funny if someone brings up, and said his father was a Seal and trained him during his teens. While his mother was from japan's air force equivalent.
Given the stature, there's no real reason he would become a "seal"
Let's ignore the obvious that he's in a different branch (only navy guys can be seals), you gotta remember that there's multiple squads in seals. All seal teams (apart from seal team six/DEVGRU/whatever you wanna call em) are actually considered Tier 2. Yes, they're exceptionally well trained so on and so forth, but according to the show, the special forces that he joined mimicks green beret (general term for special forces) and Delta Force (CAG/"The unit"/D-boys/whatever else they call themselves this week lol). If that's the case, there's essentially no going higher at that point. Him becoming a seal would technically be going backwards from Tier 1 to Tier 2.
Hope that explains it :)
Gonna nerd out hear, don't mind me.
While not always the case, many US Delta Force members were once Army Rangers. US Army Rangers are the largest elite unit with the capability to act as a armored infantry company. They are the poster child for ''shock troops'' which are elite soldiers, usually armored infantry that are sent in to smash an enemy attack formation and/or break through a defensive line. So Army Rangers are already monsters
Special forces is an umbrella term for small elite units meant for infiltration. Their mission objective is separated and trained accordingly. When people first think of special forces with the knife emblem they usually think of the US's Green Berets, or the British Special.Air Service or ''S.A.S''.
Green Berets are trained to infiltrate a country, train up local opposition, and aid in leading a rebellion against an established government. Assassination and installing a new leader that sides with the US is also part of it. They are taught several languages and must understand culture, politics, and psychology as well.They first were deployed in Vietnam. Japan's JSDF Special Forces division is modeled after Green Berets same for the ranger program, hence how Itamai trains elves later to fight dragons.
SAS is Great Brittan's go to special ops team. They have been trained to do almost everything, and are among the best in the world at it. They are the equivalent to the US's Delta Force. But I believe they can also act inside the UK, while the US Army ''with the exception of national/coast guard'' and by extension Delta Force can't except under martial law.
@@shadow9774 My friend, I think you're forgetting the most important thing here.
Very technically speaking (even nerdier than you), when referencing the U.S Military (and all it's branches), Special Forces ONLY exist in the U.S Army. Outside of the U.S Army, there are NO "Special Forces". All the other branches call them "Special Operations Force" or "SOF" for short.
Traditionally, said U.S Army "Special Forces" were called under an umbrella term "Green Beret" since they, shockingly, wear green berets with their parade uniforms.
Tl;dr, technically "Special Forces" is not exactly an umbrella term when it comes to the U.S Military, although in other militaries it is the case (Spetznas for Russia etc)
But yes, you're mostly right on everything else!
S.A.S used to operate on their own soil back in the day (famous embassy raid for example), but to my knowledge that's a thing in the past. There used to be no elite police force in UK back in the day, so they did it, but since CTSFO now exist, it's no longer the case!
