Thanks for the info henmere. And that Keo is why no one wants to see Japan return to a full military capable state, no one would be able to beat them. Last time they lost because they had an industrial infrastructure of 1/10th that of America while fighting over 10 times they're number across the entire pacific rim. Today it's around 1/3rd or there abouts maybe even higher.

Lol! For those not familiar those sticks on the cannon barrels are Imperial Japanese Army anti-tank lances, basically anti-tank mines strap to a stick used by suicide troops to spear tanks like buffalos, that disk in Momo's hands is another Japanese anti-tank mine other suicide troops used by running under enemy tanks. Best guess Momo responded to complaints about the Type 89's weak guns by strapping those lances on, Anzu responded to that by making Momo use bottom attack mines.

For your information, pixiv has a tag for the IJA's shitotsu bakurai (lunge mines).
Its pixiv encyclopedia article is here: 刺突爆雷

Jesus Christ the japanese love suicide attacks even more than Al-qaeda. I mean, yeah I give props fro bravery, and honors and all that stuff but good grief.

I almost feel our Western armies are lacking since we'll pull out of a country the moment a single troop dies.
