There are many questions that don't need a whole thread to discuss them. A simple practical answer straight from the anime or manga without any speculation can solve this connundrums. If someone has such a question about Nanoha which can be solved by answering with facts from any of the anime seasons, mangas, drama CDs, games or whatnot, then please ask that question here.
Please don't post in this thread unless you are asking a question or answering one. Please remember that it only takes 1 person to answer a question. And don't speculate! You can only reply with cold, hard, merciliessly unforgivable facts. If you have to speculate, then please just tell the querrant that no answer is known, but here are some facts that might help him make up his own mind.
One final detail. Since we have several different season, several mangas and... well, there's a lot of Nanoha, we want people asking questions about A's to be protected from spoilers in StrikerS. This means you have to use spoiler tags and those spoiler tags need to have titles! Posters of untagged spoilers risk getting banned. If you don't know how to use a spoiler tag, please read this FAQ (http://forums.animesuki.com/misc.php?do=bbcode#spoiler).

Question
2007-03-12, 11:55
So to start off, how many series of this are there, and what are they about?
Chaos2Frozen
2007-03-12, 12:09
Wow... Thats a very general question...
Well, I'm pretty sure there's tons of people here who are willing to write essay answers to them, so I'll just answer the lesser one.
There're 2 seasons of 'Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha'. The second season is call ' Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's ' A third one is about to be air on the 3rd(?) of next month call 'Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS '.
If you want the synopsis for them, I'll direct you to ANN...
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=4576
My personal opinion, watch it, seat through the painful first few episodes, then you'll see why we have a thread that contains 2000+ posts...
...Oh yeah, ignore the transformation scene if you're squeamish. :rolleyes: , The music's great though.
Does it mantion anywere how many season in total their will be?

As of current, there will be three seasons, StrikerS being the third. It's not known whether there will be further seasons after that.
I hope it's alright to ask a Lyrical Party question here... Anyone know if there's anyway to still get Lyrical Party tickets for someone who doesn't understand much Japanese? Cause I'm going to be in Japan on that day, but I've been unsuccessful at procuring tickets...
Dragnfly@Gamefaqs

I'm going too and got my tickets back when they first went on sale and my brother's wife (who bought them for me) ask if it was extremely popular because apparently there was a crowd.
All I can suggest doing is finding a japanese speaker who will check for you. Kinda hard core, I know. But meh, it's Lyrical Party. It's already hard core so a bit more wouldn't hurt.
I'd check for you but I don't speak Japanese either.

I have a multi-part question involving both the anime and lyrical toy box.
a) What kind of character is Chrono in Lyrical Toy Box?
b) Is there personality differences of Chrono between Lyrical Toy Box and the anime?
c) Does Chrono originally have an atitude in Lyrical Toy Box like in most shounen anime? He seems kinda plain in the anime. Which makes me wonder were doujin makers get the idea of making Chrono more emotional.
d) At the end of Lyrical Toy Box is the Bond between Chrono and Nanoha as strong as Fate and Nanoha in the anime?
e) In Lyrical Toy Box, is Chrono just a one man army or is he working for someone?
f) How do things work out that ended the fight between Chrono and Nanoha in Lyrical Toy Box? Well, there had to come a solution that both sides can agree on right? How does Nanoha save Chrono's people from annihilation?
h) Also I heard that Suzuka, the purple haired friend of Nanoha is a vampire in Lyrical Toy Box. What role does Suzuka play in Lyrical Toy Box? Bad guy, good guy, neutral? Sounds like an interesting gothic mystery with Suzuka being an undead and all.
I hope it's alright to ask a Lyrical Party question here... Anyone know if there's anyway to still get Lyrical Party tickets for someone who doesn't understand much Japanese? Cause I'm going to be in Japan on that day, but I've been unsuccessful at procuring tickets...
the easiest method to obtain a ticket now would probably to buy one from a Japanese auction site because they've been up for auction on Yahoo Japan Auctions for a while, but expect to pay a fairly high premium and any deputy costs if u don't have a friend/relative in japan who can get it for you. The tickets to Lyrical Party are *sold out* according to my cousin who's in japan.

Yeah, Chrono is pretty much like Fate Testarossa in ToyBox
Nanoha likes moody misunderstood people for some reason
I was looking for something new to watch and was considering Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. However, I didn't watch the previous series and I know relatively little about it. Is it OK for me to watch it or am I going to be completely lost?
Klashikari

You can actually watch StrikerS without the original, and A's series, but it would cut short your possibility to understand the background without the prequels. (the plot itself isn't dependant of the 2 previous series, but you will not be able to fully understand the character cast, and the themes, such like "technologic" Magic, as Mild-childa and so forth)
to put it bluntly, it would be like watching DBZ without the original serie : the plot won't give any problem, but the setup and characters might be too shady.
i would suggest you to watch the prequels first : they aren't too long (13 episodes each), and they are quite enjoyable. (also, they might give you an idea of StrikerS. if you don't like the prequels, you will most likely not like StrikerS, except if your only problem with original and A's is the "loli" parts)

I second Klashikari's reply above. Yes, watch the 2 prequels, you will be much better off with them under your belt.

Okay, I know this is going to sound extremely ridiculous, but...
have we ever seen Yuuno eating MEAT?
Never seen him eating em directly in the manga/anime but i assume he did because in A's to Strikers during party(chapter03) there was tons of meat dishes there :heh:

My first response was, "well have we seen the girls' reproductive canals, even when in full view?"
My guess is basic needs arent necessary in this world.
But I jest. I have an impression of him eating something, its just that it's that kind of thing that flits by without anyone noticing...

Wasn't there an article that states his rank as 'Commodore'?

If Commodore is not the same, then it is probably a lower rank, and Chrono has ascended since then. I doubt it is higher, since Admiral is the same rank as Leti and Lindy, and it is heavily implied that Admirals are not common (and very highly ranked).
Recall the conversation that Chrono had with Acous about the three Admirals, and Hayate's conversation about how having the support of 3 Admirals is a lot.
Also, if I am not mistaken, the Admirals are not part of the Ground Forces, but the "Navy"?
Cheers.
Nightengale

That is right. Navy uses the rank of Admiral to reflect one of the highest military ranks, while the Ground/Air Forces uses General/Marshal. Naturally, there are subsidies within the particular ranks itself like Grand Admiral > Fleet Admiral > Admiral, but we're not sure of how TSAB ranks their officers, since Commodore is supposed to be a rank lower than Admiral if I'm not mistaken.
Chaos2Frozen
2007-05-02, 06:37
Thats the problem, it IS lower.
I recall the article having information that fits for the 'middle' parts of the series, not the beginning- Like Subaru and Teana being B ranked, not C rank like at the start of episode 1.
And we all know that people can go up and down ladders.

Someone translated his rank listed on the official site as Commodore, yes. It's inconsistent with my translation of the rank, though. My translation gives "Admiral". I think the same person gave Vice's rank as "Non-commissioned Officer", which I got as "Sergeant" (there's no grading though, it's just "Sergeant", no indication of whether he's just a plain Sergeant, a First Sergeant, a Master Sergeant or a Sergeant Major).

Vice's rank can also be interpretted as Warrant Officer, the one rank just below 2nd Lt and the one that Sergeants become after Sergeant Major in the US Marines. I don't think that rank of officer has been commissioned yet.
Speaking of Marines, was there any genuine mention that Nanoha was in the TSAB Special Forces? If so, was its name given?

Um... Griffith is a Warrant Officer (准陸尉). Vice is quite clearly a Sergeant (陸曹). He's outranked by Reinforce Zwei, whom is a Chief Master Sergeant (空曹長). Though I find it odd that Reinforce Zwei has an Air Force rank when she's in the TSAB's Ground Armed Services. She should be a Sergeant Major (陸曹長).

It will help, especially if you have watched Nanoha A's. and to under stand Nanoha's relationship with Fate its best to watch season one too.
But it is possible to follow StrikerS, but you will miss stuff....
I would suggest you reading the manga too when it come down to it

Don't mislead people! *punch**kicks*
You won't just understand that, you'll see that its a figment of imagination that the producers place into you, for the manga, S1 and A's will tell you otherwise. Bascally, you gotta get them all to know it all.

2007-05-07, 13:47
Dude, chill. That's a totally accurate statement about season one's focus. Nanoha is the main character, and all her little stage-setting monologues are about Fate.
It really does help to watch the first two seasons (be aware season 1 eps 1-4 can be a bit plodding). Otherwise, its like dropping into season seven of Star Trek and not understanding any of the remarks or meaningful glances between characters who have gone through a lot together. Not quite as bad as starting to read LOTR after the battle at Helmsdeep/Orthanc but why do that sort of thing to yourself?

If you want to save time, you can watch season one in 2x speed and read all the subtitles (I watched it in 8x speed...), then you'll understand the plot well enough to enjoy A's.
In my opinion, I still think the fights in A's are more exciting since both sides are actually on even footing. (well maybe not for the last fight but it's less than one episode, and Brave Phoenix made it really worthwhile)

I do not agree with the first part of this answer. The first season had an entirely different focus compared to A's. It would be considered "slow" for action anime lovers, but that's because the focus of the series is not action but character interaction and character development (specially for Fate). With that in mind, it is a very good series, very touching and with lots of heart-warming moments. As Vexx says, the first three introductory episodes may be plodding, but after that it only gets better. Overall, it is a good series that is worth your time, specially because of its sequel, A's.
Aye... I really don't *like* magical girl shows, so I almost dropped season one a few episodes in. What kept me around long enough was:
1) the musical background; surprisingly orchestral
2) the special effects
Then Fate showed up and the show sailed in a direction I'd not seen taken before in other shows of this nature. Season Two started off with a serious bang - and it remains one of the few anime where I seriously was able to believe these people were trying to really hurt each other on a personal level. Most so-called action shows just fail at that sort of portrayal.
So far season 3 has been "boot camp comraderie" and getting to know the new characters - so I can't characterize the series yet or decide if it is going to maintain the energy. So far I haven't been disappointed though I've also not gotten seriously excited either.

If you want to watch it just to see adult fate :heh: might not be a problem though but storyline wise might be pretty confusing later on.Since they are starting to link 1st season with this one.
Plus if you want to follow the discussion in episode thread, you might not catch get some jokes/reference.

Question.. I dont want to watch 1st 2 series.. would it be weird if i only watch the current 1 for adult Fate? :D
Some others have answered that question previously, but in short I think you can watch it, as the series is relatively self-contained.
Certainly the story of the "newbies" in StrikerS is all contained in this season. There is however a lot of back-story about Nanoha, Fate, Hayate, and the Knights (Signum, Vita, Shamal, and Zafila) in the previous seasons. You will understand their personalities, and there interactions with each other better if you see the other two seasons first.
All that aside, the first two seasons (Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha, and Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's) are just excellent shows, and worth watching in their own right. So, why would you not watch them? ;)
Because of the loli tag :p
Because of the loli tag :p
Eh, the "loli" aspects of Fate in the first two seasons are I think vastly overstated. Sure, it's there is you are looking for it, but it's not over the top or offensivly presented. Some series are very "in your face" at presenting loli characters as sexual objects, with lots of suggestive scenes and actions. That is never the case with Fate. I found Fate much more intersting as a personality than as any sort of "lolicon" fantasy. :rolleyes:
Ahh, the downsides of the loli tag. You can safely ignore any of the negative implications of the loli tag when Nanoha is concerned, trust me. There's no such thing as 'older people in love with the main char' or anything like that.
Edit: Darn, beaten to it.

Why do people say a mage has to be Rank A in order to fly?
It's been stated that it is difficult for mages under the rank of "A" to fly. Some took this assumption a bit too far, but that's the general idea.
Chaos2Frozen

It is also can be assumed that 'flight' ability training are only opened to those A rank or higher...
iamandragon
2007-05-20, 17:29
Or maybe 'A' rank means the amount of mana a person has? Flying takes up a lot of energy I suppose, since not only you have to move around without using reaction forces, but to oppose gravity as well.

Possible.
The rank is a combination of raw power and skill.
Being an AAA rank mage, Nanoha probably relied on her huge magical source to maintain flight for the first time, rather than skill which she lack greatly back then.

Think of them as the 'official' level of a mage... It is a mix of the mages' magic potential, as well as their skill in using magic spells.
The ranking goes from F to SSS+
KempoCatholic
2007-05-23, 12:42
Is there an F rank? I guess it would make sense if there were. I always figured that D was a trainee, C was a normal grunt, and anything higher than that is just getting more and more elite.
Well, maybe F rank would be a normal, non-magical person.
the complete list of rankings would be: F, E, D, C, B, A, AA, AAA, S, SS, SSS. Plusses and minusses can also be added to each rank.
so nanoha-and thus fate-is no even a S level mage?(someone said AAA)i tought they were among the strongest,both of them.i'm disapointed.

Nanoha and Fate ARE among the strongest. I imagine there's only a handful(if even) of SS-rank mages.

According to MoonPhase there are 7 station airing it,Wakayama TV being the earliest broadcast (http://cal.syoboi.jp/tid/1029).
Not too sure about why the raw quality so bad, i heard the 1st few broadcast area has crap raw (encoding?).

If Nanoha is the White Devil, then does Fate or anyone else have a nickname?

White Devil is a fanon title for Nanoha. Likewise, Fate's fanon title opposite of Nanoha's is Black Angel. However, the only canon title she has is "Ace of Aces".
Fate's canon title is "Golden Lightning", I think. Hayate's nickname was...Mistress of the Night Sky?
Anyway, Signum and Vita have a title too if I'm not wrong, but don't hold me up on it.

IIRC, Signum's title is "Blazing Flame General", which was originally a title bestowed upon her by the Book of Darkness, and Vita's would be "Scarlet Iron Knight".

Keep in mind that the rank system isn't just descriptive, but more like a certification - you take a test to get "promoted", which verifies that you've learned all the stuff that you're supposed to know at that rank, and can actually use it. We see Fate's AAA-rank test in a chapter of the manga, including a mock battle with Chrono (she loses, but does well enough to count.)
Skills have a rank associated with them, and doing a particular skill when it's harder than your achieved rank is a special sort of accomplishment - so Teana's ability to use Variable Shot, which is a AA-rank skill, is actually doin' really well for a B-rank mage.
The only problem I have is that, if flying is A-rank, well... the TSA has a friggin' ton of flying mages. We see whole crowds of flying mages in A's and early in StrikerS. Presumably the majority of those mages are actually A-rank and not just gifted aviators, so that means that there's actually a pretty good amount of A-rank mages in the TSA (at least in the air force arm.) Kind of puts a limit on how rare that rank is, and obviously the new forwards have a ways to go on that score.
(Mind you, we've seen precisely one army battalion, and they're absolutely not up to magical snuff, to the point where they were more or less overwhelmed by -firefighting- until some kids on vacation showed up. So it's not too much to say that the TSA has a definite bias towards higher-ranked mages in the air arm, and thus we'd expect to see very few mages with high ranks come up through the ground forces. Or, if people tend to join up with the ground forces, like Subaru, and then get promoted into the air arm when they master the skills necessary, that'd be a source of really fierce interservice rivalry...)
Anyway, just because none of the new forwards are A-rank, it doesn't mean that they're unable to fly. However, where their capabilities exceed their rank, the show's been letting us know, and we haven't seen any of them catch air yet, so it's entirely reasonable to guess that they can't actually do it yet. However, it's just the sort of thing that we'd see in a moment of dramatic tension... of course, Caro doesn't really need to fly herself when she can just catch a ride, but still. Adding flight capability to Subaru wouldn't improve radically on her Wing Road either. But it would make a tremendous difference to both Teana and Elio, so if either of them need a mid-season power-up, we can expect this to be in there somewhere.

With regards to mage rank, about 5% of population (I forgot if its mage population) achives AAA rank.
Also even if its not often used Fate also have "Striker Friendship" under her belt.
That was just supposition people made a little ago on the episode 08 thread. However no cannon material has been released whether SSS is monster-exclusive or not.Actually speaking, recent Megami (iirc) magazine actually describes Hayate as "one of the highest-rank among TSAB".
(It's the same article to the one that had the infamous "time table")
This does NOT, however, defines that there were/will be no human mage of SS+ and above.
It simply says that Hayate is of highest rank at present time, and under TSAB rank, so there're lots of room for exception.

Okay, my question now. I remember a conversation in A's about Lotte begging Chrono to release their powers during his conversation with Graham (After Chrono captured the Lieze twins). Just wondering, is it an additional effect of Struggle Bind? You'd get to hold the power of the one you captured even when the bonds are not present? If so, perhaps the limiters work in a similar way.
Is that even struggle bind? i dont remember him actually saying the bind name when he caught lieze twin.They just suddenly got bind out of nowhere.
Perhaps after the twin rendered unmovable, he casted something else on em with similar effect to limiter.It might not be necessarily part of the bind itself.
So far we have seen that device's limiters are removed through long arch control station.Most probably body's limiter also worked the same just require special key or something ala gaogaigar.Since there is level activation for the device , perhaps they could also control the amount of body's limiter release (Hayate goes from AA to S only for example)

He did mention the name of the spell (in english no less), when the binds activated unto the twins before he revealed himself.

I see. But the limiter being some kind of bind sounds quite feasible to me.
And by the way, he did identify the bind as Struggle Bind and provided an explanation after he caught the twins.

Ahh ok i forgot about it then :) my bad,Thanks... Yuuno struggle bind doesn't seem to have that effect though, he used em much in A's if i remember correctly.

Chrono's Struggle bind was described as "A very powerful binding spell that also acts as a magical "ground", specifically, it inhibits magical abilities of the target and can even dissolve transformations in use"
While Yuuno's Struggle bind was simply to bind.
I remember Chrono saying that he had learnt from the twins to always continuously improve himself, so I believe it is possible that Chrono had 'customized' his bind to add in those other effects.

Ha ha. That brings back some funny things to mind. '300' is the name people that support Yuuno x Nanoha relationship gave themselves. 'The Legion' is the name we, those who support Fate x Nanoha relationship, gave ourselves. We used to fight a lot about this in the episode threads and it went so out of control that when it was driven from one thread it jumped to another. Heck even the Image thread was attained by the war. This was stopped a long while after, since people began to grow tired of the shipping wars and so you get an idea of how out of control it went, Moderators and other staff members had to step in, although some of the members (300 and Legion) were already trying to stop it by the time Mods. stepped in.

It's very similar to the JSDF ranks.
Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_ranks_and_insignia_of_the_Japan_Self-Defense_Forces)
Well, you have to realize that the TSAB has both land, air and naval forces (naval being spaceships in this case).
A good wiki with ranks should be this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General the table on the right has common military rankings.
According to this, the TSAB seems to follow the navy ranking system, though this does create confusion with Hayate's ranking as commander.

Why? The Land Forces acknowledge her as a LTC, which is the direct counterpart to the Navy's Commander.

Chaos2Frozen
2007-05-29, 03:33
Keroko, you've answered the question yourself :heh:
The TSAB has Land, Air and Naval division.
Hayate's in the Land division, hence her rank is "Lt. Colonel", following the Army...
Chrono, who is in the Naval division, has the rank "Admiral", following the Navy...
And Nanoha, who was in the Air division, has the rank "Captain"... (Though 'Captain' is kinda found in all 3 :heh:...)
...Following the Air Force...
Why? The Land Forces acknowledge her as a LTC, which is the direct counterpart to the Navy's Commander.
Cheers.
Which is the confusion, in the navy Captain is higher then commander. If we asume that RF 6 uses navy ranks (as they do call her commander, I believe) then Nanoha and Fate would outrank her. However, if they would use land/air forces ranks, she would be a lieutenent-colonel instead of a commander.
That is my confusion.
Ottocycle
2007-05-29, 05:29
Hayate definitely outranks Nanoha and Fate, as the TSAB uses land forces' ranks as far as we've heard in the series, Admiral aside, which means we'll just need to use the centre section of the table provided in the wiki you gave.
Okay, I double checked the translation of Hayate's rank, which is 'butaicho', and the literal translation I got was 'commanding officer', not commander. Now, I'm no genius on military rankings, but doesn't this mean that Hayate could technically be any rank, which makes the ground/air forces rank of lt. colonel the most likely choice.
Thanks for the help, that's what I get when I trust fansubs a bit too much. :heh:

Well, there's always the official site with its biodata page, which explicitly states her appointment/rank as Commander of RF6/Lieutenant Colonel

It probably makes more sense to also call Nanoha a Captain (一等空尉, 1st class air officer) to follow JSDF ranks, rather than Commonwealth ranks... they are equivalent ranks, but calling her a Lieutenant can make her sound lower ranking than she really is.

To get the full Nanoha experience you really should watch the first two seasons. The first season takes about five or six episodes to really get going and there are more than a few moments that'll make you cringe and question why you're watching at all but stick with it as it becomes very interesting when it finally gets serious. The second season is a must-see although it picks up where the first season ends so you'll be lost if you haven't seen season one.

Having a device out would just increase the Mage's potential for spell casting.

Yuuno didn't have a device, and he was able to set up his Barrier Jacket.

It just so happens that when in most cases when they set up their jacket, they would want their device out as well.

Also reminded that Nanoha and Fate wore BJ without setting up their device in A's too.
Considering from the fact that defence magics are appeared to be mostly non device-dependant, I don't see why BJs are as one of it's class.
The jacket is dependent on the device at least in Nanoha's case. (season 1 episode 1)
Also the device, for example RH, is just the little marbel not the pointy stick.
They can draw out their weapon or armor at any time ~ they are supposedly independent. (seson 2 - Fate)

In their universe, its a lot more cloudy. I play with the idea that full set up releases the BJ or KA at max power, ready to take on any blow, while the truncated one saves time but releases the armor at lower power, with total charging time greater than that of full-henshin.
But as I said, that's a fan's explanation of something that doesn't have a canon explanation. :heh:

I suppose that a trenchcoat and shorts wouldn't be too bad. Or even something like a Rein1 themed Archer would be intriguing. BUT when he opens his mouth, I demand nothing less than either:
a. 2 voices stacked on top of one another
b. Reinforce's voice for the sheer disturbing kick of it. :heh:

"Bah! It's just the crazy mind of fans! Take no heed of them for their idea comes straight from the twisted nether!"
Truth?
One of us, I think it might even be me :heh:, had wondered out loud how amusing it would be for Erio to bag all the new lolis from this season.
Mind you, this was somewhere after the revolutionary scene from episode 2 and we were all still high over it :heh:
So one thing lead to another and it ended up becoming one of the most anticipated thing of StrikerS :p

Well, the thing is that most people are placing their hopes in Elio after the utterly failure of Yuuno in seasons 1 and 2. Besides, that boy has nerve :D :D :D

2007-06-13, 21:59
I think Erio became incredibly popular because of episode 2. He was a guy who actually got involved very quickly with a loli. Making quicker strides than Yuuno and going farther on the screen. So pretty quickly he became a symbol and when people saw Lutecia well he had to get her.
Have to admit I helped push these things along. With my expectations of episode 10 and a Lutecia encounter. Erio has just had people placing hopes on him. He felt up Caro in episode 2 without consequence. The guy can't be stopped :).

If the egg was a summon, then Fried would have the same qualities of a summon, which he didn't.
And if those two aren't related, it still doesn't explain what Fried should be known as :p

Going by dates, the first 2 series are implied to take place in 2005 (1st series in Spring 2005, A's in December 2005). StrikerS takes place 10 years after, therefore it's most likely equivalent to 2015 in Earth years. But that's just a guess. The year the first 2 series take place in isn't ever stated, just implied.

The difference seems to be that Summons can't take but Familiars can but both kinds can still interact with their masters.

My personal belief is that a Familiar is a constant while a summon is temporary that could be dismissed.
Familiars would always be draining a portion of her master's magic source, I'm not so sure about summons, but even if they do drain, it's most likely only when they're called forth.

Heres a picture that explains it...click here, (http://damagedgoodz.net/board/)the pictures at the top of the page
Don't let the 'Mahou Shojou' in the name put you off.. It's just a ploy to cover up the battle sequences.. Also it gives us good fanservice transformation scenes that the guys can drool over..
In particular the first two seasons had lolis which drew a good crowd to the series.
Plus if you're so inclined you can join in the madness that is the OC thread since it's really easy to create characters in the Nanohaverse.
If anyone else wants to add something feel free...:heh:

How do the ships use magic like teleportation?
And is the Arc-En-Ciel a Magic spell or a weapon??

There hasn't been any official statement, remember that this show doesn't swing that way. But base on best guess...
1. Whatever powers any other space ships from any other sci-fic series. Except the energy source would most likely be magic.
Think Guilty Gear. Free Energy.
2. The same way as the humans use magic like teleportation, only this time it's via machine.
Think Guilty Gear. The Gears.
3. It's a 'magicial' weapon.
Thanks Chaos I'll pass that along
Okay, I've watched Epi 12, and I've got a messy notebook of Influent Skills. While I figured out their names, and how they work and are activated, I can't seem to attach the skill to the Number it belongs to. These are the IS I could find:
Heavy Barrel
Silver Curtain
Wide Impulse
Deep Diver
Are there more? And who do these and others belong to? It would also be helpful if someone can help me translate the meaning of the Number's name too... :heh:
Thanks a bunch guys!
