"So here it is, all of it, everything from the beginning to the cease. Whether or not y'all want to judge us for who or what we are or what we did is up to you, I couldn't intendance less to be honest. I did my office, I protected my brothers and we laid downwardly the armies of tyrants."

Here We Get Again by Shmack1812, is a Alternate Universe / Fix Fic of the web novel, Gate - Thus the JSDF Fought In that location.

The plot takes identify in tardily 2022 where soonhoped-for former Marine Corps tank gunner, Jasper "Four-Eyes" Kincaid, goes on i last overseas joint training do at Campsite Fuji, Nippon.

At the same time, a mysterious gate opens in the middle of the Ginza district in Tokyo, with it, an invading army of ancient warriors and fantasy creatures. The U.Southward Marines stationed in Camp Fuji respond quickly to assist their long time allies and "The Four Horsemen" of Headquarters Platoon, Charlie Company, 2nd Tank Battalion are deployed into the war zone where they eventually team up with Itami and the remainder of the defending Japanese Self-Defense force Forces, pushing back the otherworldly legions. In the backwash of the Ginza Incident, the 3rd Us Marine Expeditionary Unit of measurement soon finds itself once once more at the tip of the spear of an invasion, but this time into the unknown world beyond the mysterious 'Gate'.

Here We Go Again is written by a former U.S Marine tank veteran who offers a re-imagining of the Gate story in the perspective of an unlikely military machine group: tank operators. Using his personal experiences and people he knew throughout his service, the story follows quite closely to canon with the exception of the Americans being heroic allies instead of the original story depicting them as antagonistic; the only gripe Shmack has with the original writer.

As of December 17, 2018, Shmack has ultimately stopped working on HWGA due to burning out, though not without a final chapter that ties up loose ends.

On January 24, 2021, Shmack has taken up to rewriting the story. It can be read here.

      • This is at least partially explained past the Marines doing what they did earlier- namely, these are hardened veterens of the Transitional islamic state of afghanistan disharmonize, not the relatively untested JSDF..
  • Bottomless Magazines: Averted during the Siege of Italica, when four tanks take to fight off an regular army of x,000 bandits with minimal back up.

  • Chick Magnet: Merely similar Itami in the original. Kincaid has become an interest to both Kurokawa and Aurea.

  • Contrived Coincidence: The only reason Jasper and the Charlie Company tanks have the limelight is due to a last-infinitesimal joint exercise in Japan.
    • The tankers openly lampshade that they take no concern existence around Itami's group, equally recon is a job a tank is not well suited for.

This backfires when the tank breaks downward in the middle of the fight with the Flame Dragon, resulting in others having to come to aid go the tank working again.
  • Convenient Misfire: In Chapter ix, a bad shell prevents Here We Go Again from finishing off the flame dragon. True to realism, the tank crew had to become through a long tedious procedure to find the cause of the jam before fixing it (doing otherwise risks having the Loftier-Explosive Anti-Tank round cook off in the breech, which would be very, very bad). By the time they figured out what'southward wrong, its already too tardily....
  • Absurd Big Sis: Kurokawa acts this way towards Jasper. It irritates him to no cease and he begins to phone call her "Mom".
  • Cool vs. Crawly: M1A1 Abrams Tank vs. The Flame Dragon!

  • Cutting the Knot: The catechism scene where Bozes captures Itami is completely averted by the crew of Here We Go Again, pointing out that a) The tank they're riding on is however covered in claret from some of the ten thou people they helped kill the night before, b) the damage to the tank was from when they took on a Flame Dragon, and c) They have a tank.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Pretty much virtually of the characters. Its an inherent trait of Marine Corps.
    • Surprisingly, Sgt. Kurokawa is given this trait also in this fic.

    Kincaid: And there y'all become putting the fear of god into me.
    Kurokawa: Which i, yours or Emroy?
    Kincaid: The one that doesn't accept psychotic apostles running effectually.

  • Deconstructed Character Archetype: Rory. She's shown as exactly how creepy and/or terrifying a demigoddess who looks like a piddling girl and gets "excited" at the idea of battle would be. At best, to the Tankers, she's an annoyance. To Emerson and several others, she'due south a major threat.
  • Deflector Shields: Myuute Luna Sires.

    • Zorzal is a secondary antagonist at best, and Tyuule gets just a few cursory mentions. Zorzal's death at his sister'south easily in the final chapter means that his and Tyuule's schemes never happen in this version of the story.
  • Deuteragonist: Aside from Jasper and Itami, Lieutenant William Van Hauser has the most amount of folio fourth dimension for a non-tank Marine in the whole story thus far.

  • Easy Logistics: Averted. The crew of Here We Go Again is aghast at the idea of a tank being sent out for recon, due to the fact that 1 of the main reasons tanks get in platoons is to minimize breakdowns and cover each other should ane get disabled or pinned downward. After the fiasco with the flame dragon, command finally learns its lesson and deploys all 4 tanks WITH the M88 Recovery Vehicle for good measure during the Italica mission, merely still insists afterwords that the crew of Here We Go Again would continue to deploy with Itami's team at the latter's behest.
  • Elites Are More than Glamorous: Special forces become their fair scrap of recognition in the story with Captain Recker (Navy SEALs) and Emerson (MARSOC). The JSDF SFG commandos are quite deadly too.
    • Somewhat averted in passing regarding the tanks themselves- the US tanks taken through the Gate are training tanks, which weren't supposed to see combat. Front line tanks would have been more constructive since they're better repaired and equipped, only the betoken is basically moot.

  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Bessara may exist a ruthless crime lord who's willing to beguile anyone if he can profit from it only he truly loves his wife and daughter and treats the staff at his estate well.

It was just considering of the effective defense by Princess Pina and the combined U.s.a./JSDF forces that this was thwarted.

    • Before the Boxing of Italica, Itami suggests the tanks move up closer towards the skirmish line in order to cover that sector, without any infantry back up.

Ho Yay, N-Discussion Privileges, Asian Speekee Engrish / Japanese Ranguage, and Insult of Endearment abound.
  • Poor Communication Kills:
    • While backing upward from the flame dragon in Chapter 9, the tank encounters a Convenient Misfire and Wilkes tells the coiffure that the but mode to fix it is to terminate and begin unloading the main gun. Benitez mishears it as an firsthand command to end and does so, giving the dragon time to close the distance.
