No, that's not their daughter, although not entirely unrelated.

Spoiler:

It's Tuka's newborn sister. Tuka's father ain't dead, he's alive and well and shagging different women around the world.
Playboy elf ftw.

Spoiler:

Well, he was amnesiac from the injury he sustained from the Dragon.
He managed to find his way out of the forest, and to another land, but didn't fully restore his memory.

But his womanizing way hasn't changed since before his amnesia, so he's been sleeping around with women. I guess playboy was in his nature.

Tuka was rightfully upset (about not remembering her, about not treating her like a daughter even after telling him so, and about his playboy way of life), and not quite rock to the face, but she did throw a fist to the face.

It's later revealed that he actually was acting half of that, he did infact suffer from amnesia, but was restored recently, and still acted like he didn't remember a thing. Because he's slept with girls there and couldn't abandon his new family to return to the forest.

I do have to say though, he does school Itami on how to manage a harem.
The stud elf instantly recognizes Itami is, like himself, the chick magnet type.
He tries to school Itami on how to love multiple women at the same time.

After reading the translated manga chapters I have to say the fantasy aspect of series is really enjoyable, but the military and political aspect to really bad in my opinion. I also don't really the combat because I thought that the fantasy world and the JSDF would be more equally matched, but that was a wash. The way everyone who isn't a member of the JSDF is treated bothers me as well, the bad guys in the empire are arrogant idiots whose job is to basically make the JSDF look good by being stupid. The Prince Zorzal thing annoyed me as well because I don't really enjoy designated idiots who are only there so you can hate them. The part I have to say made me angry was the rape of Noriko, the Japanese girl because in my opinion it felt like it was just there to make the empire look even more evil and stupid like "These savages touched our women, it's time for divine retribution." I thought that was just in really bad taste.

I apologize for the rant and I'm not condemning anyone who enjoys this series, I like it to but my own personal issues with series kid of gets in the way of my enjoyment.

Pillaging, enslaving, and raping of slaves was a common practice among freeborn Romans though.

http://www.heritagedaily.com/2013/08...cantinia/97996

A Roman Citizen was allowed to exploit his own slaves for sex, no matter the age or circumstances of birth. A freeborn Roman could even rape, torture and abuse their property without charge or prosecution. A slave had no civil protection or authority pertaining to their body; in essence the body of a slave was to be used to appease the sexual appetites of their Dominus.

While Rome was certainly one of the most advanced, beautiful civilization in human history, compared to any 21st century 1st world modern nation, they would absolutely be considered barbaric and ruthless in nature.

Okay. I'm about to go ballistic on this sh*t so I'm just gonna ask one thing. Did he regain his memories before or after Tuka got over her trauma?

Can't really say, he certainly gained his memory back in the recent years, but the Gaiden is taking place after the first season and it's been several years since Tuka's trauma thing (around the time the Dragon was slain).

Don't get me wrong, I understand the difference in culture and values, but it felt like it was just there to justify beating up the prince and again I don't like villains whose main purpose is to just be Arrogant and stupid.
Thanks for the link by the way, it was really to learn something new.

[Izumo]

I have a question, reading some stuff on 2ch (can barely read japanese but translator machine helps a bit) people were talking about the huge difference between the story on the original Novel and the LN-manga counterpart. I know from BT that is true but my question is how much is the change, a huge one or just a slight change?

[SPARTAN 119]

Latest chapter has been translated.

In this chapter, the JSDF are returning POWs from the Ginza incident, meanwhile, a group of fantasy world characters are learning to drive, complete with Rory failing her drivers test rather epically!

Also, Zorzal seems to be treating Tyuule marginally better- at least he's giving her proper clothing- probably something he only did out of fear of the wrath of Shino and the rest of the JSDF. That said, Tyuule is still keeping going with her plans to cause the JSDF to slaughter the Empire.

Regardless of whether Tyuule succeeds in getting the JSDF to wipe out the entire Empire, I sense a death flag for Zorzal coming up....

There's no change from novel to LN. There was a huge change from web novel to published novel.
What's the thread number and post numbers, and which of the thread are you talking about. Anime board, or the two in the LN board?

Anime boards move fast, so I'll need you to point me to the posts in question.

Hmmm that thread existed more than 1 day ago, don't know if 2ch have archive (I guess it does) because the link is no longer working on that page. Same goes on the shithole of 4ch where people is saying there is a big difference, but thanks to you I know that info is true.

By the way can I ask you about the end of the original story, if you can by PM please.
