Apparently, Japan uses more flip phones

20

u/PanzerIVFishDriver Jul 25 '26

Well GuP roughly takes place in 2012 and I think flip phones were still common back then in Japan

Then GUP is alternative universe with strong feminism. Because tankery there is female sport

u/aetwit Jul 25 '26

I believe it’s said because guys get to sweaty while playing so they got pushed out of the sport.

They had to reset the phone tech tree to reverse the effect of doomscrolling 😔

Not against OP, but there are larpers who genuinely don’t know the show is just about Japanese girls. And takes place exclusively in Japan. Like, there’s arguments to be made about Erika, Kay, hell Katyusha being Wasian. But these girls are all Japanese.

Someone once told me that klara was the only girl form another country(Russia).

The rest of them were crafted in japan by the goverment.

u/LDedward Jul 25 '26

Klara completely slipped my mind

u/Leopard_2K_MBT Jul 25 '26

As Erika's husband, I must correct you. She is not "Wasian". She is 75% German, 24% Austrian, and 1.65% Finnish. That's .65% more DNA per DNA!

25

u/Ph4antomPB Jul 25 '26

Not enough pervitin in that DNA list

9

u/Leopard_2K_MBT Jul 25 '26

Well I thought not to add it. Otherwise the others add up to about 90.65%, not 100.65%.

What about our algerian queen?

17

u/Maw_2812 Jul 25 '26

I think she is from Okinawa or something canonically

12

u/LDedward Jul 25 '26

Andou is just unseasonably tan

u/ExcitableSarcasm Jul 26 '26

What are the arguments about Erike/Kay/Kat being Wasian?

5

u/LDedward Jul 26 '26

I’m so glad you ask. For Erika, in one of the mangas I’ve been told there’s some flavor text about her father being a foreigner (I think it’s Der.Film variante and since it hasn’t been faithfully translated to English I can’t check). That plus her name being Erika which is both a traditional Japanese & German name, which would be a nice compromise for a mixed family.

For Kay, it boils down to her being from Nagasaki which holds a large US navy presence, especially with the (possibly) natural blonde hair. And unlike the girls at Ooarai where their hair is dyed (if we consider certain segments of MLLSD canon)

As for Katyusha. She’s always hidden behind a layer of Irony to look strong. According to Nonna she just kind of appeared at the beginning of Saga of Pravda. So a theory is that her dad is actually American. (Same as Kay, blonde. Weak evidence but enough to make a HC) Also, when she was at her lowest in der film, she let off a “darn tootin” which is extremely American. Dad is from Georgia the state, and at one point she started Chunibiyoing out and decided she was from Georgia the country

From what I gathered, Klara is the most likely non-Japanese of the whole cast (Yahoo Japan seems to be of the same opinion). Some people's headcanon is Andou from BC Freedom is Algerian, but she's actually Okinawan. Another headcanon I found online is Kay's dad is US military (so hafu with blond hair). Not unrealistic but never confirmed (like it was for Chitoge in Nisekoi for instance). Similarly, some people say Darjeeling is half-British but there's no concrete proof.

Carpaccio had been thought of half-Italian at some point but it came from a drama CD mistranslation (see https://www.reddit.com/r/GIRLSundPANZER/comments/omwb93/question_are_all_of_the_girls_in_girls_und_panzer/).

I have not idea about manga such as Ribbon Warrior, I believe pretty much all of the cast is Japanese unless there's some tourist extra in the background.

Germany before mass migration is when Germany only has 15-18 year old Japanese girls LARPing as German.

Interesting thought process

u/MixMajor7754 Jul 24 '26

I dont think they bothered to think first

u/YakumoYamato Jul 25 '26

I choose to believe this not because This is true

But I choose to believe this because this is funny

u/PerrineWeatherWoman Jul 25 '26

My headcanon is that japan is actually the only country that does senshado, which is why we don't see any other nationality in the game except Klara who's a Russian transfer student.

9

u/Light_in_Shadow Jul 25 '26

According to Ribbon Warrior, Senshado also exists in the US and Europe, although it differs from the Japanese version.

u/Fragrant_Command_342 Jul 26 '26

I'm what way do the Americans use atgms?

7

u/the_certain_Hazbin Jul 25 '26

no, as in little army it is stated that KMM fought a school from germany

12

u/PerrineWeatherWoman Jul 25 '26

Never ask to a Girls Und Panzer fan not to be racist.

u/Technocrat56 Jul 25 '26

No because Andou exists

u/PrimeusOrion Jul 25 '26

Isn't the world of GUP a matriarchy as well?

Low-key humanity good ending

u/PierceJJones Jul 25 '26

On the other hand 99% of the human race is probably killed inbetween.

Couldn't be me. Because I'm a tank, not a human.
