The Grand Duchy’s invasion force is armed with the Mannlicher M1893 rifle, the historical rifle of the Kingdom of Romania from which the Grand Duchy is based on.

Seen only once in the series at Episode 5. The third country featured on-screen to fight against the Empire would be the Dacia Grand Duchy. The infantry weapons utilized by the defenders of Orse Fjord is barely recognizable in the short glimpses seen in the episode, but it stands to reason that the weapon depicted by the responding troops (before they were blasted by the Imperial ship) would be the Gevär m/96, the variant of the Swedish Mauser in use around the time period. The second country we see that is opposing the Empire is the Legedonia Entente Alliance, a polity consisting of a merger of prime-timeline Sweden and Norway.

A full length rifle in use by the French Third Republic, it gets a few glamour shots in. Seen in the opening minutes of Episode 1, the Republic’s weapon of choice is the Lebel Model 1886 Rifle (also known as the Fusil Mle 1886 M93). Opposing the Empire would be a variety of nations, the largest of which is the Francois Republic, referred to as the ‘Republic’ in the anime. One thing to note, that while the only sidearm seen so far was in the hands of the Dacia’s invasion force general, Tanya is seen holding a Luger P08 in the ending sequence, taken from images from the Light Novel. Now, there has not been a great deal of detailed glamour shots of the weapon throughout the episodes aired so far, but the presence of a straight bolt on the rifle suggests it’s a G98 and not its ‘carbine’ derivatives and definitely not the Karabiner 98k.

The primary infantry weapon found in the hands of the Empire’s soldiers and the Republican partisans would be the Mauser Gewehr 98. No doubt once I start diving into the manga and light novels, I’ll find out more details about the setting, but this is what has appeared in the series so far. Considering that the events that would’ve brought about the Great War in our timeline seems to be gone, or at least missing from the anime. The Empire of this world is analogous to Imperial Germany at the start of the First World War.

Regardless, while Mages, Aircraft, and even Artillery are quite important, the infantryman is the person that, in the words of Urban Dictionary, gets to hold ground while every other branch of the armed forces shoots at them. It has been noted that standard mages (basically, anyone that isn’t Tanya or her Battallion) are limited to altitude and speed, unable to match fighter and bomber aircraft in both, but no doubt delivering vastly more powerful firepower on a target than either (so far). The difference being the appearance of mages that can render a whole section of the line destroyed, and act more akin to a Special Forces unit with the tactical maneuverability of attack helicopters. Warfare here closely resembles the static lines of the First World War, with entrenched soldiers fighting to retake the muddied and torn fields between the trenches. Heavier than air flight has been achieved, with a late 1920s, 1930s design and technological standpoint.

The War in Youjo Senki is in a state of transition from the days of yore.

Because, as ze Blogfather, Miguel over at Gun Free Zone said: “The best way to cement a fantasy is to have a well-defined reality.”Įdit: I also created the IMFDB page for the series here. This entry focuses on the weapons of the Nomajs.

Now as a preface to all that, I’m doing this mainly for my own ends, intending to use the work from this series of posts elsewhere, and this becoming a bit of a resource for me. So I decided to turn this into a series of quick thoughts regarding the weapons depicted in Youjo Senki.
