* Doubtful. Kuribayashi is someone who, while bloodthirsty, takes their soldiering seriously. Her throwing in with Emroy takes away from her duties and places additional rules onto her plate. The biggest thing that you can argue, however, is Emroy's position on lives. Emroy doesn't care who lives and who dies. Kuribayashi is a soldier, and as the JSDF has shown they want to protect lives if they're innocent. Rory said it herself (And I'm paraphrasing so forgive me if this is wrong), "Guilty, innocent, it doesn't matter to Emroy."

Then there is her [[BestHerToBedHer method of dating]]. If she were to become as strong as Rory, then her search would become all the harder.

** The talk of the US simply taking resources is simply leftist propaganda. What ''would'' happen is a RoaringRampageOfRevenge that obliterates the Empire’s government, ''followed'' by diplomacy. The US has not suffering an invasion by foreign troops in its history. You could argue UsefulNotes/TheRevolutionaryWar, but that’s a bit more complicated. But this would be an actual invasion of the US by an alien army. There’s no way that would be allowed to stand. Think post-9/11, but ''without'' restraint.

* Nope. This is the same kind of argument as "videogames cause violence". Going by your logic, wouldn't ''VideoGame/KantaiCollection'' encourage the [=JMSDF=] to sink US, Russian and Chinese ships?

With all the conflict and war going on the other side of the Gate, and the existence of a precious soul such as Itami originating there, Emroy might become interested in Earth. Judging by the Battle of Italica, Shino Kuribayashi certainly has the battle lust for it. That BackToBackBadass moment with Rory practically portrays them as equals. Instead of an axe, she will carry the weapons she is familiar with, a handgun and a rifle, but her formal attire as a priestess will be the same. She may try to alter it into something more like her JSDF uniform.

In Manga, after Incident of Ginza you don't see may orcs, trolls, or goblins. The reason is the regions where those two races reside are not near Alnus or south Imperial area. While many CuteMonsterGirl workers are Clan Formal's maids or even mercenaries and male PettingZooPeople are mercenaries that guard the trade caravan. Meanwhile, goblins and trolls are more suited to Empire's Army that battle like Roman Legion.

*** Jossing invalidated. First, the "copying from history books" thing is not original anime territory, but it comes '''directly''' from the novels themselves, and the anime's omission of this information is what caused some serious head-scratching when they appeared in that medium. Second. The event where Zorzal and Tyuule's fates are decided (as in the point either where they both live or die) takes place many volumes AFTER the events that were adapted at the end of the anime. Therefore the WMG has not yet been jossed, is still on the table, and will stay that way until presumably another season is greenlit that will adapt the volume said event happens.

Since the anime's gone into original, yet not totally implausible, territory by having either Zorzal or Tyuule copy the Orachnina from texts brought back through the gate by Piña, it's possible that Zorzal's ultimate fate will be very different. Hopefully, since the giant, two-legged rat wants so badly to be historically famous, perhaps his wish should be granted. He could very well be the first Emperor ever to leave the throne, by means of public execution. With '''all''' his crimes laid bare. The kidnapping, enslavement, and death of Japanese citizens prior to the war he started, the near nightly rapes, beating, and biting of all his slaves, the breach of his own treaty regarding the Warrior Bunnies, all of it, and for icing on the cake, Piña, a DaughterOfAWhore, which he dismissed because of her heritage, will be the one sentencing him "you wanted to be famous, and go down in history, brother. Well, you are going to get your wish. Your crimes are so heinous that you get to be the first Emperor ever to lose his throne to execution. I will do my best to ensure your infamy is remembered for all time. Knights of the Rose Order! You know what to do!"

* What Grey told Itami about Pied Piper includes the fact that "Pied Piper" always takes on different forms. Sometimes an orc, sometimes an elf, sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, but it's always different for every target, and worse, Pied Piper never actually carries out the task directly but always "persuades" someone else to do it. Aside from opening the gate, the gods don't seem to interfere with the Special Region directly, always counting on their Apostles, and on rare occasions, their followers, to work in their stead.

! The Pied Piper really is Hardy (or one of the other gods) in mortal disguise.
Let's just look at the clues we've been given.
* Gods in the Special Region have AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence, and shed their physical bodies. Further, Rory specifically tells Itami that once she ascends, she can choose whatever form she likes.
* What Grey told Itami about Pied Piper includes the fact that "Pied Piper" always takes on different forms. Sometimes an orc, sometimes an elf, sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, but it's always different for every target, and worse, Pied Piper never actually carries out the task directly but always "persuades" someone else to do it.
