There's a typo in the article. "conclusion course" should read "collision course."

BTW, Zeon's colony drop didn't destroy ALL of Australia, especially since the well-regarded Dreamcast game "Rise from the Ashes" is set on the continent. It DID turn Sydney into a gigantic lake, however.

Britannia was #3 on the list.

Btw, while we're all nitpicking the typos today, it's "scub coral" not "scrub." Smile

I haven't actually watched it, but from what I gather, there are some pretty dangerous military groups in Swarzesmarken. Also the Naraku in Gintama are pretty ruthlessly dangerous.

Military? HCLI (H&C Logistic Incorporated) from Jormungand is realistically the most dangerous paramilitary organization in the world, they (while not shown) could disrupt the whole air traffic and take down all the airplanes in the world that rely on modern avionics, and to a certain degree they could theoretically even halt international trade, crack important military resources and gain access to nuclear warheads, they can control and manipulate governments, perform airstrike on a foreign soil, have access to military base and equipment, heavy artillery, naval and ground rockets, satellites, vast firearm arsenals and basically they have an edge in the whole industry.

All of this is like having the power of the Skynet except that it's controlled by a yours truly, Koko Hekmatyar lol.

As for Iscariot, they may hate Protestants but they still respect them as fellow Christians that needs their help hence spoiler[when Maxwell goes power mad and orders his Crusader Army to kill all English civilians, both Catholic and Protestant, Father Anderson gets pissed since the Crusaders were supposed to help and protect the civilians from the Nazi Vampires and not kill them.]

Odd in what sense? All of those organizations encompassed operations around their world (or universe). The military in Akame ga Kill focused on a country and neighbors, a small one compared to the others.

The Titans were way worse than Zeon, Zanscare Empire was worse than the Titans and Gjallarhorn are almost on par with the Zanscare Empire. Then you have Blue Cosmos who are almost in the middle.

Well if we go by body count then Zeon is worse since in addition to the colony drop they deliberately destroyed sides 1, 2, and 4 (if you count the stuff from the Entertainment Bibles).

I don't remember much about the Zanscare Empire, but if they are worse than the Titans then I don't see how Gjallahorn is almost as bad as the Zanscare Empire. Gjallahorn may be corrupt, and what they did to the colony workers on Dort was horrible, but at least they didn't gas entire colonies like the Titians. Gjallahorn also doesn't come off nearly as dickish compared to the Titans.

Blue Cosmos may not have as much blood on their hands (not for lack of trying), but morally speaking I'd say they are one of the worst, if not the worst, organizations in the Gundam franchise. Zeon, Titans, and Gjallahorn may want to rule with an iron fist, but at least their end goal isn't complete extermination.

Of course, the military from FMA would be tops!

The JSDF from GATE is full of nice people as we all know but they look pretty damn dangerous to me.

They're under the control of the UN. I don't think they could be seen as an actual military organization. Maybe a military division I suppose but even that is a stretch to me. More like a private group contracted by the military in essence. Just my take anyways.

The same goes for Hotel Moscow as for one they are made up of ex-military members, but that point non-withstanding they are not actually a military group. They're a mercenary group.
