We sure Rory is written "rori" in Japanese? From how Itami pronounces her name, Iīd be inclined to write it "rouri" in Japanese (since the ro was drawn out, not as quickly pronounced as a "rori" would have me say).
Anyway, speaking of her, Rory was super hot this episode. Sucks that this isnīt the kind of show where the hero would ignore the obvious choice (the elf girl) and go for the self-aware, crazy goth loli. :>
Not sure why Itami didnīt just order 5 of his men to each gate. Then shoot the bandits (their shields wonīt help) and throw a few grenade to round up things. Was a bit silly having to listen to his "weīre only 12" talk, when we know how much stronger the real worldīs military is compared to some medieval guys.
Also, I hate that the enemy mage girl will somehow be spared and become an ally. Thatīs just my firm believe btw, not a spoiler. Itīs just a bit predictable how every single cute girl with an elaborate design joins the hero. sigh
