Same here, I'm looking forward for some Lutecia awesomeness, but from the looks of it that's not what this forum's going to be all about.... I just hope that Yuuno's part in the episode is noncommital enough as to not fuel the flames TOO badly, and that there is enough awesome to make the discussion get interesting.
Bugbots FTW!

Glad to see theres someone on my side^^ we must try and at least have some discussion about her even if its intersperesed with this war thats about to happen...
lol, this is gonna be one hum-dinger of and ep and all parts^^ (this thread will break all pevious records)
Let's keep things going people! This spot needs more ammo boxes! Marines! One last equipment check!
*rifles cocking*
Gard: The Zakum are in place, Boss.
Kha: Alright, hold your position!
Lets not forget some atmosphere! Music please!
Kha+ - Yuuno's Come Back (English Version)
I hear a voice calling him from AFAR,
One after another, the 300 prepare for BATTLE
On a street that only COMES BACK
Forget about being shy. ARE YOU READY?
Nanoha's body shivers right TO THE CORE
Her heart rings out like violent STOMPING
She calls YOU, always growing, NEVER DYING OUT
This is an unstoppable comeback STORY
Come on! Everybody BOOST UP!
'Fess up! Today's your time to SHOOT OUT!
No one can catch you SPEEDO FERRAT!
Everyone's waiting for you to COME BACK NOW YEAH!
Come on! Everybody hands up!
Tomorrow our YUUNO'S COME BACK!
Raise you hands up and COUNT DOWN!
Ikuze, 3-2-1, MAKE SOME NOISE!
HEY YO WHOA You ready to take all the risks? (Yuuno: Yeah!)
You gotta get back up no matter how many times you TRANSFORM!
A paper-thin truce keeps you bond intact
Those feelings have now built up and solidified!
A rising tide of cheers will give up courage (YUUNOHA!!!)
You'll suffer now as you stand back up
But I know you'll end up smiling!
Push it all away, and feel the thrill of ESCTASY!
Everybody BOOST UP!
'Fess up! Today's your time to SHOOT OUT!
No one can catch you SPEEDO FERRAT! (Not even FATE!)
Everyone's waiting for you to COME BACK NOW YEAH! (RAWR!)
Come on! Everybody hands up!
Tomorrow our YUUNO'S COME BACK!
Raise you hands up and COUNT DOWN!

*glances nervously at all of the battle preparations going on all around*
I agree, but, it looks like there's gonna be one heck of a flamewar pretty soon. Anyway, between the inevitable conflict among the 300 and the Legion, and all of the fighting and awesomeness that this episode looks to be made out of, I won't be a bit surprised if this thread breaks 1000.
Now, if only this war would get out of the image thread....

Indeed, half of them last like 5-10 pages is 300 vs Legion stuff, sigh. Lets hope (as much as I would still dislike it) that it moves from there to here. At least then 1 thread would be cleaneed. Sigh, will survive through it.... somehow.

No way Juan dela Cruz, those are MY Marines, and they serve for the glory of the God Emperor :frustrated:

Anyways, there is enough expected from episode 7 to at least keep discussions going even without the impending Dark Crusade :heh:
*Hopes to see Signum kickass once again*
Haha! You got that right, Lowe. God Emperor Yuuno FTW!
Meophist! Great to see you! The gloves are off, as you can tell.
Oh and Ratler, watch out for Haru's Nagato fleet. They can bite if ya not careful. Keep the skies friendly!
Sakura: [Alart! Several high speed energy signatures at 300 miles and closing!]
*Saint X's fighters lift off*
Go go go!
To the entire 300:
"Yuunohans! Warriors! Lend me your ears!
"The Legion threatens us with death and oblivion, but we shall not bow down!
"We will stand, and fight!
"A new age has begun... A new age, when our cries are answered!
"And all will know that we are the 300
"Who gave our last breath to defend it.

lol, the war never ended, sigh, its just been in ceasefire, but the opening up of ep 7 thread has kick started things, sigh this thread is prob gonna uber posts before we even see the first eye bleeding, ear hurting painful raw. I'm just hoping some good discussions can occur through the chaos.

You haven't seen it all. I saving my last cartridge for the actual release before reloading for some real action. :D
http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q314/BPHaru/verossa.jpg
.... overuse of those 4komas -,- no offense
Anyway back to the subject , what do you guys expect more of ep7 from the preview alone? straight actions combined with lutecia/zest introduction or slower episode with lots of dialogue between main cast now that almost of em appeared?
Serenity85
2007-05-12, 15:11
half, and half I think^^ while te Aces sit through the auction, the neebies will BE the ones (with vita and signum) who end up fighting drones and maybe lutecia and zest.
thats my guess

This is going to be another intense thread. Hopefully once we get to see the episode there will be more to talk about then just the war. But just to be safe I'm getting a nice solid bunker to hide in while the shots are fired.

Kali: Commander Fuyu, 300 has asked for massive reinforcement.
Fuyu: I see.......
Kali: What are our orders?
Fuyu: We have no choice. We'll have to ask for the other forces to come and join us.
Kali: You mean.......
Fuyu: Yes, that's right. We'll call the Lord Knights,Gunslingers, Taekwon Masters, Biochemists and the Champions. Also don't forget the Zerg and Protoss armies. They do owe us...
Kali: I understand.
Fuyu: *Sigh* I wish 300 would just give up.
Kali: Did you say something?
Fuyu: What? No, no
Kali: Well in anycase we have received a troubling report.
Fuyu: What is it this time?
Kali: 300 have anti-proton cannnons waiting
Fuyu: Hmm. We'll have to change the canon's properties.
Kali: Yes ma'am. Anything else?
Fuyu: Yes. All troops on stand by, unsheath your swords, prepare the spears and let us await the return of Admiral Darco emp.
*Unsheathes Ougon no Ken*
Fuyu: The Legion will never give up Hope!!!!
The Legion: YEAH!!!!

This is ep7 discussion thread, but the majority of posts here already have next to nothing to do with ep7. Discuss your expectations of the episode if not aired, but please try to keep these shipping wars to the minimum. There is a point in thread guidelines that asks to keep the discussion on-topic. Please remember that AnimeSuki is a discussion forum, not a chat room, there is a difference.

Fine, fine, we'll go back on topic (how boring).
Well, since it's Lutecia's first appearence, I don't expect her to show awesomeness in this episode, but I think she might still make a lot of damage if she has a horde of insects at her command (especially if they're poisonous)

Yeah, well, Kha and I can't be the only ones having fun. We have to consider other people's interests as well.
On another note: If the butterflies are summons and she uses them for attack and defense at the same time, I wonder what Zest is there for? Only as some kind of bodyguard?

I have been kind of thinking that Lutecia, as a summoner, will be of the crazy attack powers but crappy defense type. As many have suspected, I think Zest is there as a meat shield, although it's possible he might surprise us and bust out at some point.
As I said before, I'd be cool if Lutecia is more of an assassin type than a raw blasting type, because our protagonists are less equipped to handle such an enemy. At any rate, I expect that they'll lose this fight in some way, because the series is ripe for an enemy that can't be blown up in a single episode, and Lutecia's been given way too much fanfare from the series' creators to be easy prey.

Heh, when I said assassin, I meant like summoning bugbots to poison people or attacking from blind angles with suicide bomber bugbots...or something. Not that Lutecia would act like a ninja. (although it would make her even more similar to Rider if she did so, which is A-OK in my book....)
Haha i just thought it would be cool if the bugs can swarm around her, forming her BJ instead of the regular transformation that everyone have so far.Would be rather unique.

... Unless it's revealed that episode 8 would be a Chrono-centric or Erio/Carol epiosde, then I'll make it my PERSONAL mission to break the limit...
ONE LAST THING....
Even though we're about to throw ourselves into this bloody mess of a carnage, I still wish that both side would still have the integrity and dignity to NOT turn this ugly...
(Most importantly, try to bring down the weird, non-relating script-plays please :heh: ?)
With that out of the way, I pray to the Eternal Lolis that they alter the script properly :)
The evil has spoken!
While I have to admit it would be unique, it'd also be rather gross.
Depending on how they are animating the bugs/butterflies (maybe in pinky light form just like in the opening), it could be very cool.
Plus those bugs are kinda mechanical looking so not too bad if they are not in "pinky form", imagine a modified pink version of C.Bravo Silver Skin's pieces :D
It would be very versatile too ala Gaara's sand, BJ that could be both offensive and defensive will be so troublesome.

I don't know if it's the flu I'm having to deal with right now, or because I'm trying to consider other people, but I think the 'bloody carnage' should not take place. I'm really feeling like hell right now, so I don't feel like fighting 300. For now I'll standby and hopefully I'll be back to normal when the war starts.

It would be very versatile too ala Gaara's sand, BJ that could be both offensive and defensive will be so troublesome.
Hmmm.... You're right, it could be nice.
You've gotten too excited about this. Plz read Skyfall's post.
Sorry that post wasn't up when I started typing all that. <I'm kinda a slow typer at times> And ya looking back I think I went a tinny bit overboard. :heh: I kinda got cough up in everything.:heh: :heh:
I don't know if it's the flu I'm having to deal with right now, or because I'm trying to consider other people, but I think the 'bloody carnage' should not take place. I'm really feeling like hell right now, so I don't feel like fighting 300.
Battles and the upcoming war aside I hope you get well soon. :)
Well fellow Yunnoha brothers, I am a little skeptical about the battle ahead, Yunno could just be making a cameo for christ sakes (I still miss Arf, although she look better grown up then all flat chested loli) but nonetheless, lets march off Spartans for we fear nothing!
Hopefully things will remain stable, because I am on the verge of abandoning this sub-forum already. :eyebrow: I don't mind sporadic shipping banters from time to time, since I partake in them as well, but when they become the sole focus of the discussion, and the canonical discussion is abandoned totally, I think that is a problem.
Things I am looking forward to in Ep07,
Lutecia's and Zest's voices.
.
Signum's début fight in StrikerS.
.
Yuuno's first appearance.
Hopefully, there will be a ballroom dance as well. :)
Cheers.

Hahaha that remind me, someone told me a few days ago what if Lutecia has an adult like voice like Signum ^.^ since it is not clear whether she is recently made or not (assuming Dr. Jail created her) All those jokes on Erio/Caro/Lutecia would be :eyespin: :heh:
Hoping for a great debut battle from old cast and Lutecia's gang too , but like i said earlier * signum's face in the preview scare me* :uhoh:
Ballroom dance in an auction eh...possibly they would have one before the auction start or the auction could start in the middle of it.
Hmmm.... You're right, it could be nice.
Sadly the chance of those concept happening is close to none :3 following Nanoha's trend.
Hey i caught a flu like 3 days ago too -,-
I smell something stunning going to happen.
Yunno will be killed by Nanoha during the terrorist attack when she shoot Starlight Breaker to destroy escaping drones. White demon swears to revenge, Riot Force 6 declares a war against mad scientist and the story moves into main plot next ep.
All hail Yunno's sacrifice.
Yunno can not have more than 1 ep screentime if he is not even in the cast.

Yeah, well. If you read my previous post, you'll find out that, even if I'm one of the few who has the most fun with the war, I don't want it to take place as strongly as it previously had because that would be troublesome to other people. We're trying to be considerate here :eyebrow: :eyebrow: .

If Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate appear in the cast, Lyrical Party cannot be a screentime guarantee.

Well, ep 8 will end 300's fantasy because Yunno will nowhere to be seen, either being alive or dead.

2007-05-12, 22:03
Please, please, please. Keep it low, guys. I can slightly understand the emotions and the energy, but Nanoha is not a romance-centric show, and it has yet to air.
I think it would be wise, that Nanoha episode threads be started 2 hours or less prior to the airing. :{
Anyway, the preview seems to hint at the animation quality being slightly low, with Signum not looking as fine as she could've been, along with the Aces.
What I'm looking forward to :~
- Yuuno's role in the auction. Invited to speak? Or what?
- Acous's eyes that look creepy as hell in the linearts.
- Signum vs whoever. Most likely Zest.
- Insect-robo SPAM!
- Whether or not the guys (( Acous, Yuuno, Zafira...MAYBE Chrono, since 3 of the Chro-no-Kishi-dan are well and assembled )) will get to do anything "flashy". Zafira's got double guard duty, on both the hotel and Caro if you get what I mean. :P

Well that's the fun of positive speculation isn't it? It just that it feels that we're going to sell high on the stocks which is a lot more certain than winning the lottery. :D Anyway, according to the 3rd Phrase of the Velka Code:
that the Velka never surrenders or gives up hope.
And so I forge ahead resolutely in an uncertain future. :heh:

Okay. I'm already sick by the flu, but I'm getting sick of repeating this, so this is the last time I say it. And for a better effect.........

Now with that settled, I hope we can go back to the ontopic (with slight offtopicness from time to time) Nanoha discussion. Don't flame me and don't hate me, but I think we're going a bit overboard here. READ SKYFALL'S POST GUYS!!!!!
*ears ringing*
Dang I had my speakers on high volume after watching some j00t00b. I stopped haven't I? :heh:
@Nighty: Its a very valid point that Yuuno's there to be a guest speaker, since the auction is all but certain to be selling artefacts. But for what reason? Charity? Clan funds? Discuss.
And I'm still going for the transmutation of insects into weapons/bigger insects, and finally sacrificing them as tribute to Red Eyes Black Dragon. :eyespin:

I went into 'Amplified Lung-Power' mode to make that effect. Guess it worked, but it's not about you only. I know you've stopped.
If that's a normal auction where they sell valuable stuff and all, they're gonna need someone who knows about it. Who better than the Chief Librarian of the Infinite Library? I mean, it does contain the universe's history so.......
I don't think Lutecia is sadistic enough to kill insects so she can summon a dragon :heh: :heh: . Besides, Caro doesn't need to do anything of the sort to summon hers.

To reiterate what Skyfall has already voiced: Looking at last week's huge 800+ posts thread that is supposed to discuss episode 6, probably 30% of the posts are actually relevant to the topic of discussion. Everything else is nothing but noise. This ridiculous amount of off-topicness will need to be cut down, or our hands will be forced to take a few drastic measures. One such measure will be the mass deletion of all the off-topic banter that has absolutely nothing to do with the episode discussion at hand. Believe it or not, episode discussion can be fun without actually doing the role-playing thingy in posts every so often and the follow-up comments that commences soon there after. Hopefully, this post will be taken seriously.
Carry on with the episode discussion/expectation.

It seems even Moderators don't pay attention when someone makes a general speech. I've been killing myself here to do just that Mr. Monir, and I think we already got the message.
On topic now: Insect-tailored BJ? Wow, that's a new concept. But I think that wouldn't do at all. I think that if Lutecia is gonna fight, she'll fight against Caro and she'll do it with another Dragon. Possibly a Black Dragon in contrast to Caro's Silver one.

I'm curious as to what Acous' barrier jacket would look like... If he even uses one. Yuuno... Should have probably gotten himself some baggy pants by now... I hope.
Chrono Chrono Chrono... You already have the slickest and coolest outfit... But if there a chance that they've somehow manage to one-up you...:)

Finally the ep discussion threads are back to normal..
Yep Lutecia is shaping up to be Caro's antithesis, devices aside. I have a gut feeling that tube she wears in the OP is probably her BJ. So even clothing wise they are opposites lol.
And regarding Ep7, as much as I hope for the action to restart again, it looks to be another set-up episode, with random banter, mission preparation, the auction proper, and of course the obligatory 'the enemy is coming' part, and they all go into high alert, BJs, devices and all in the final minute of the episode.
Meaning most of the action footage that was shown in the preview most likely came from that last minute.
But still there's things to look forward to:
Aces in formal setting. It'll be another way to see how they've matured to fit into such an environment.
New voices coming up. Zest, Lutecia, Acous, and (I HOPE) Yunno's included. *Tangent Mode.*
Looking at appearances, Toriumi Kousuke(Kiba in Naruto, Gennosuke in Basilisk) would be the frontrunner, but also be incredibly cliche. Seki Tomokazu(needs no intro, I hope) would also be good. Inoue Takehiko(Jerid in Zeta Gundam, Kakashi in Naruto) would own too.
Lutecia would definitely be the strong silent archetype, while Chihara Minori would be the current top pick for everyone, I pray for Noto Mamiko and an Enma Ai-calibre performance. RAWR.
Please don't let Acous' voice be another Koizumi. LOL. I'd prefer it if he had some of the swagger he displayed in Kaze no Stigma. But still, his voice is kind of 1-dimensional, so to speak.
How Signum deals with random Gadgets.
Small Freid vs. Insects, and of course more exposition on Caro's abilities.
And definitely, a voiced Chrono appearance would be icing on the cake.

On that subject, Chrono and Acous just HAVE to be like their previous counterpart! Even though the relationship is slightly different :heh:

I'm thinking he's just there. Maybe to interact around with the bigshots of the TSAB and the upper echelons of Midchildan society. So to speak, its just a cameo debut of sorts.
But of course who wouldn't want to miss our aces in evening gowns.
A thought(or should I say hope) just struck me. That decoration thing on Yunno probably means that he's among the organizers of the auction, since that's what it means when I see that thing IRL. Maybe he's the MC? It makes sense to put in an existing voice role IMO.
Acous could be there just because he is one of the high ranking people that got invited to that kind of occasion.Although Chrono might asked him to do some favor to pass something to Yuuno or Hayate & Gang since they are like brothers.
Interesting things i see in acous are his VA and his appearance (you dont see many main/secondary male character with green hairs).Now that i look at his face again, looks scary.Anything special about him in some way? he is the only one with those eyes design (very different from the manga)

Say... Think we'll hit 100 before the episode airs? :D

A thought(or should I say hope) just struck me. That decoration thing on Yunno probably means that he's among the organizers of the auction, since that's what it means when I see that thing IRL. Maybe he's the MC? It makes sense to put in an existing voice role IMO.
I think it's likely, although I don't know anything about how auctions IRL work, just considering his clan's occupation. The upper members of TSAB society and governance could definitely find some interest in the things dug up by an archaeological clan, assuming Yuuno still has some sort of connections to his old colleagues. (I can't see why he wouldn't, as an influential librarian is a good asset to any archaeological group, for easy access to research. I wouldn't be surprised if he supports his clan in his free time in such a way, and maintains connections.)
That's only if he has some networking skills like Hayate, though, it's equally possible that he's just a workaholic and just locks himself in the Infinite Library 24/7.

...is this an obsession?

I've seen those things worn at auctions alright...But no way are those auctions like the one that's gonna happen in ep7. The people who have lived(or more likely, are living) in Singapore(Malaysia maybe?) will know what I mean.
Also putting Yunno into the plot now would be really convenient, considering Fate and Shari's recent discovery within the Gadgets.

Well then, we're about to find out how these 4 years have been going for him...
... In fact, I'm almost confidence that he'll ask Nanoha "How are you feeling?" :D
That would REALLY boost paranoia levels :D (And it'll boost something else for me too...)

Hey, thats true!
Ep6 subs is out btw :) if anyone happen to be waiting for it before ep7 airing.just in case u didn't check ep6 thread
EDIT: You don't mean the HUNGRY GHOST AUCTIONS?!
Come to think of it, it would be kinda funny
Auctioneer: Lai lai lai! Sa kor ji bua sa kor...
Nanoha: What is he saying? :heh:
Yuuno: Some language from the Terran East Sector? :heh:
Probably just me feeling homesick. :heh:
:topicoff: :eyebrow: dont really get it ,is that the same auction that happen on the dinner part?
*not from Singapore but i have been living in various part of asia including Singapore*
The question is why can I understand it.....
lol, we are in the 80's and the ep is yet to be released... what is the target this week?
...missed alot stupid mtg tourney....
EDIT: Yunno is going to get Plasma Lanced :heh:
^.^ the preview does make lots people excited.
On the target post, depending on how much stuff/twist is revealed in this episode we can break 600-700 without ship wars :)
We have Lutecia,Zest,Yuuno and Acous who could be mixed around in the whole relic speculation

It might be possible , depending how they are depicting Hotel Augusta .It is just normal hotel in RL but you never know here ^.^ I would expect him more as an owner instead of manager though.
Maybe Yuuno bought it sometime in the past 10 years to help his tribe.Just providing them with a proper place to do artifact business.
Talking about the auction, that remind of the smuggling dialogue than Hayate had with Genya.For them, attending this auction could be the result of the smuggling investigation that they did in Ep6.
It wouldn't be strange if one/a few of the auction organizers/regulars are found to be involved in the smuggling thus there is a chance that relic might be among the items auctioned (those that safely transported without drone's detection)
Ah, if only Hotel Augusta could be like Hotel Moscow. That would make the critics stop complaining about how "there's too much training".

Holy crap. Balalika would completely DOMINATE the entire cast of Nanoha, because they are all about developing relationships and trust.....
....and those are all weaknesses for Balalika to exploit.
Anyway, moving away from the second scariest character in all of anime (the first being Takano from Higurashi), humbug23 mentioned something that has been on my mind for a little while.
Also putting Yunno into the plot now would be really convenient, considering Fate and Shari's recent discovery within the Gadgets.
I think that that's true. If Yuuno's going to have any sort of a non-cameo role in the series (50/50 chance, I'd say), then this is the plot element that they will likely link him to. Maybe we get more information about what the Jewel Seeds are, and where they have been in the last 10 years. No matter what the case, I think it's a given that Yuuno will be locked up in the Infinite Library researching something for the main characters about the Jewel Seeds at some point in the series.
Anyone seen any screens lately? It should be aorund now, but 4chan's a ain to navigate when you don't know exactly where to look.

2007-05-13, 12:29
2chan would be a could place to try but I really have not seen a Nanoha topic created one sunday. Since eppy one was aired and whatnot.
There is one Signum SS from ep7 floating in 4chan ...cant find the rest though.Anyone who know how to navigate find em?? go go go
Edit:Nvm it is adding one by one ss
*link deleted*
OMG SIGNUM TRANSFORMATION!
Oh well then...
I managed to find 1. It appears that the Wolkenrietter have naked henshins now, but not the glorious ones for the humans. They supposedly only last 11s.

lol, so there going all out for the transformations huh^^ looks like all the main cast will get one then....eventually. So who's left that we havn't seen yet? I know theres hayate, chrono, ginga, but who else?
Vita, Chrono, Hayate and Ginga
Vita is in this episode , so it is Hayate,Chrono, Ginga . Is there Lutecia sequence in this ep?
Edit:Argg it is not updating -_-
Another pics come up, but Nanoha's dress... Is rather superhero-ish, and I dun think that's good...

Okay, watched the episode.
Very brief notes: There's been villain girl and her adult companion (apparently underlings of Scaglietti's, though the guy doesn't like him very much), more tentacular drone things, all 4 of the Knights (and transformation sequences), the 3 Aces in dresses, Acous (who seems to be on quite familiar terms with Hayate), and Yuuno for about 20 seconds and 2 lines, total.
Also, there's some ANGST! at the end of the episode that looks like it'll lead into episode 8 (more training!).
Why do I feel... cheated. Nothing's loading on 4chan.
I watched the ep...
I feel sorry for Teana...and Yuuno barely appeared, lol...I expect he'll appear more next episode. But then again, maybe not, judging by the preview.
Lutecia is voiced by Kuwatani Natsuko, by the way.

What happened in this episode:
I guess I'll start one
the good: this episodes delivers more plot / character revelation, drama and much needed suspense
the bad: some of the frames are really bad
the ugly: like... musashi gundoh bad... ORZ
on to the plot:
It is confirmed that Zest and Lutecia are third parties not under the control of the good doctor. Zest personally hates his guts, but Lutecia as I quote "does not hate him THAT much" She is willing to cooperate with the doctor this time in exchange for some benefits
speaking of which, Lutecia is a really really good and versatile summoner mage. so far she used two kinds of summons
bugs: can be used for recon, or fused into gadjet drones to manipulate them directly. It can be also used to WARP gadjet drones
ryuga: an unknown summon that was sent to infiltrate the auction and steal something. it managed to complete its mission flawlessly
Signum and Vita have transformation scenes. But it was all no nonsense and all business like. They are given 2nd level device release permissions for this mission
Teana has major self security problems being among all these people with rare and special skills. It gets to her head and she makes a serious mistake during battle.
Vita chews her out on it. Teana takes it very hard, but frankly I think she is being harder on herself than Vita.
I didn't mention Yuno, because I don't want to beat on a dead horse of a character. (He's the Dororo of Nanoha)
I but if you really want to know, he had less than 10 seconds of screen time comprising of
a) Fate walking pass by him and not saying a word
b) beginning to prepare his auction speech
and btw, remember the somewhat creepy lady talking to the good doctor on the visual window? her name is Euno. lulz
Screenies btw:

Kuwatani Natsuko is the person who does arf, see even if a particual character is not there they just use the same voice actors to do the new roles, i knew she would be there becuase she too close to Nana Mizuki who does fate and they became best friend becuase of this series!!!!

Ah, something else.
Oh yeah, Lutecia's device is called Aesculapius
Ah, something else.
Oh yeah, Lutecia's device is called Aesculapius
From the Greek demi-god of healing, I believe.
wiki entry on Asclepius (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asclepius)
Ah, something else.
It's also a Gundam G-Unit ref I believe. OZ-10VMSX Gundam Aesculapius (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/g-unit/oz-10vmsx.htm)
That's the staff thingy with the two serpents intertwined, isn't it?
Wasn't there an early Caro pic with her wielding that?
Finally finished :)
-This episode basically more about Teana development with Lutecia introduction
-Yuuno and Acous are just happen to be there ^.^ nothing related to the Nanoha and gang at all.Fate doesn't even notice both them when she walk pass.
-Knight transformation is fast and simple it seems to require limiter release on different level.Their Jacket basically materialize at once instead of pieces by pieces.
-Kinda funny how Caro/Erio suprised that Zafira could talk , it show that most people in TSAB probably doesn't know that either.
-There is a crap load of drones battle in this episode, there is at least 5 or 6 type 3 that i can see.Signum,Vita and Zafira owned em easy compared to the newbies :p .The newbies watched in awe while Teana realise how much more powerful they are.
-Unlike Lutecia ,Zest doesn't seem to like the Dr. much ...he is some kind of Lutecia guardian, didn't fight at all in this episode.
-Lutecia device Aesculapius (thanks village for the name,i cant spell it) seem to be the dark version of Caro's.Everything it does from the sound effect, magic circle, summoning light looks dark and gloomy.
-Lutecia summoned this horde of bugs which has multiple function such as boosting and stealth mission (it sneak undetected pass Shamal/Shario inside the building).The bugs also able to boost the drones combat abilities by making em smarter causing Signum and gang attack to be ineffective.They also goes after Rein,that scene scare me for a sec i thought they gonna infect rein -_- when they dove into her
-She also summon something in the form of black ray that retrieved the relic inside, never shown what is it look like but from the name it seems to be a dragon too(something __ryu).According to what Caro said ,Lutecia magic rank must be pretty high considering the transport magic that she used to teleport the drones straight into the building.Note that Caro doesn't know Lutecia, she only recognise the spell used
-Second half deal with Teana development, she forced herself to cast multiple variable shooter with Cross mirage.Although they did work pretty well destroying the drones, one of em strayed into Subaru and might cause serious damage if Vita didn't interfere.In a way she also broke the division teamwork because she went all out offensive when she was assigned to defend.
-The way Vita grilling into Teana after that , makes me wonder whether Nanoha accident actually cause by similar thing (vita careless attack was the one that almost killed nanoha ,just speculation)
-Acous found Hayate :) . Hmmm Hayate X Acous doesn't seem to be happening , they look a lot more like brother-sister
-They actually get owned by Lutecia, no one realize that black thingy sneaking in and out with the relic.More on Subaru and Teana, Subaru tried to comfort her but told to go away and Teana cried afterwards
-Episode ended with Yuuno suprising Nanoha/Fate by appearing on stage ...Yuuno sensei O.o Omg that sound kinda corny lol, especially when acous also called him that.
-More Subaru/Teana development next week episode
Pretty sure missed a bunch of thing with my half assed japanese , need to rewatch it a few times.Good thing though Acous eyes doesn't look scary at all as i expect him to be :p

it loks like the first truely epic battle with be a confrontation between carol with her device Kerykeion and summon dragon friedish Versus Lutecia's equaly device named Aesculapius and now just accried dragon of her own, it looks like it's the simple classic battle of good loil vs evil loil, who will win is anyone guess by now!!! since they are equally mirrored!!!!

-more to go...
Nothing much to say at the moment. Yes I am stunned speechless. Maybe one parting shot...
Lutecia: I am your Tsukaima
Fate: Nooooooo...!
:heh:
Zest
The doctor calls Zest, kishi (knight) Zest, so he's likely another Ancient Belka user.
Not on amicable terms with the doctor.
Lutecia
As mentioned, her device is Asclepius, and she doesn't really hate the doctor. She also mentions someone other than Zest, Aliit or something...
Caro calls her an expert of teleportation magic
The summon spells she casts:
"winzekt zugg" (I'll bet I mangled that up bad, whatever language it's supposed to be in :p) - The bug's she summons.
遠隔召喚 - enkaku shoukan - Remote summoning
が竜 - garyuu - Hmmm, I'm not sure what kanji to use for the first word... could be a lot of things. Something dragon is her other summon.
Looking for something, and seems to help the doctor out at times.
These two are so gonna join the good guy's side by the end of the series...
The animation quality was probably the worst yet, even though there was quite a bit of action... but when said "action" is extremely choppy, it looks pretty bad :twitch:. Actually, this is probably one of the worst animated episodes I've watched all season... :(.
Whatever the doctor is looking for, Lutecia calls it the doctor's "toy". The item the doctor was looking for was not part of the auction, and was some unknown item (in a dinky looking crate :p)
Rein gets pwned :p
Tiana is emo
Before Tiana's attack, she mentions "ランスターの弾丸 - the Lanster bullet"... so she probably had some famous ancestor or something.
Yuuno basically did nothing this episode, other than showing up...
Caro is so cute when Zafira speaks :p
Nothing much to say at the moment. Yes I am stunned speechless. Maybe one parting shot...
Lutecia: I am your Tsukaima
Fate: Nooooooo...!

What means "Tsukaima"?
-Haru
Haha i agreed with selkrik the animation was pretty crap this week including the action part....Everyone face was distorted in quite a number of scene

Tsukaima = familiar (like Arf)
Edit: Geez, beaten to the punch.
Thanks, now "Zero no Tsukaima" makes much sense.
By the way, what's the difference between familiar and summon? Arf is a familiar, but what is the dragon? A summon?

I don't think we know if Caro knows Lutecia yet. Lutecia never got anywhere near the auction site, and Caro was only going by her spells when she called her a teleportation magic expert.

Thank for the manga , so it was her brother..Wonder how close they are.

Teana's parents died when she was little, and her brother took care of her ever since. But then he died when she was 10. Or somewhere near that age.

oh dear what an ep...im emotionally exhausted ~
fine tea made a mistake...a really big one that could have put subaru in hospital for a few weeks but still i can feel her pain...screwing up like that then having vita go crazy on your see is not a pleasant feeling ~ especially when what she did was intended to protect (though a bit crazy :heh:)
as for the ep it wasnt what i imagined would happen but more or less...we didnt get to see the building get trashed which was a downer imo :heh: and the really shortened transformation scene for our old knights was depressing...but im glad that shamal's chest jigged haha XD *wipes blood*
Lutecia uses her power and boy is she strong...caro can sense that the force behind the "teleportation" skill had to be someone with the same skills as her (and right on seeing lutecia's gloves look exactally the same) ~ but she is more powerful by a margin it seems...
reinforce2 gets hammared...did she even try? O.o being rank A(?) she should have squashed those bugs like no tomorrow >.<)
and vita chan flipping...brings back memories from A's when nanoha knocked her hat off :heh: scary yea...but we all know that she ment well...so i cant fault her for screaming at tea for not using her head...
and yuuno...he failed...but look on the bright side...chrono failed even more XD
and finally Verossa turns up...and he seems to be on good terms with hayate...the guy needs to die!!! T_T (but hayate's "ehee" was very cute...if only she punched him through the wall for patting her :heh:
next ep is going to be quite touching...how would tea recover from this setback :rolleyes:

Oh rats! I messed up! Oh well, but maybe they do originate from the same place. I'm not sure, but I don't think summoners are common folks.
A bit more on Lutecia and the doctor's conversation...
The doctor says
君のデバイス、アスクレピウス、私が欲しい物のデータを起きたいよ
Your device, Asclepius, it wants to awaken the data of the item I desire.
(... I think :p)
Looks like he needs a summoner to fulfill his plans.
Near the end of the mad scientist arc (if this isn't the "main" arc) Nanoha will be incapitated by her injury, Fate will be shocked by revelations concerning Project F, Hayate will be arrested for circumventing TSAB regulations via Limiters (or some other plot device), which leaves the way for the rookies... Zest and lutecia join the good guys, so the doctor captures Caro to try and use her instead.
Cant wait till this episode cums out. especially wit them in those dresses and Yuuno bak
I think they're fairly close..
Teana's parents died when she was little, and her brother took care of her ever since. But then he died when she was 10. Or somewhere near that age.
Hmm i am expecting their relationship somehow similar to Sara and Ralph from SnS where she tried really hard to catch up to her brother.He is already dead right? sorry am really lazy to recheck the manga :cool:

Knight sequence is good enough :) be happy the add a little extra there ^.^ compared to A's version..Too much fanservice :nono: :nono:
No worry don't think Verossa got a thing on Hayate , they seem to be as close as brother and sister could.
Vita has her reason to be really angry, Teana not only messed up but in a way she also broke the formation/disobey order.In military, usually you will get grilled really bad for doing things like that..
Reinforce might be A in term of defense and support but total crap on offense , not sure how actually the rank differentiate between offense/defense specialist. Good combo with Hayate as the offense.
Oh rats! I messed up! Oh well, but maybe they do originate from the same place. I'm not sure, but I don't think summoners are common folks.
I guess they are pretty special , it is nice though to see that Lutecia actually able to summon those bugs in addition of a dragon.Her dragon is way cooler imo compared to fried, moving around in those black light form.

And like a good portion of people here, Vita's paranoid about these things...
Also, remember that Teana's suppose to be the reasonable one amongs the forwards, she's expected to be well disciplined...

No worry don't think Verossa got a thing on Hayate , they seem to be as close as brother and sister could.
Yeah, at the end of the last chapter, they already mentioned that Carim and Acous treats Hayate like their younger sister...
... But still! (:heh:)

And like a good portion of people here, Vita's paranoid about these things...
makes me think about the A's to strikerS manga...the part where nanoha was injured shrouded in mystery...could have been vita's fault O.o (and i mean miss firing :heh:)
Well, we can ASSUME he's dead, if we take Teana's word for it... If you know what I mean... ;)
Got it ^.^
And like a good portion of people here, Vita's paranoid about these things...
Also, remember that Teana's suppose to be the reasonable one amongs the forwards, she's expected to be well disciplined...
...Damn, I can't find any screenshots :heh:
Yeah i guess the incident does affect her but still i don't really see anything wrong with the way she snapped at Teana.Their division is happy go lucky type :p so sometimes that kind of lecture is needed.
Dont worry about the SS :3 the animation was pretty crap ...want me to take some weird faces SS ^.^ ?

Yep i was thinking about the same thing too, it was never shown/said that the injury was caused by others.The way Subaru trying to defend Teana remind me of Nanoha saying "she was careless and it is her own fault".

The slow development formt he first 7 ep is why i didn't like the idea of a 26 Ep season and why i rather have more 13 ep seasons. The 26 ep has allow the production team to let the story drag like this.
Ep7 show why i don't like the idea of the Limiters and just stupid a idea it is. The only reason for the limiters in the first place is for the production team to not get more creative with the villans.
The Knights without the limiter would blasted the drones with or without the boost. And Lucetica would not have sneak pass a S+ Hayate.

By the way, what's the difference between familiar and summon? Arf is a familiar, but what is the dragon? A summon?
-HaruWe had a little discussion about this before, but haven't come to a conclusion.
Anyways, I've watched the episode and can't really say much that haven't already been said. Although… something 'Unconfirmed' was the cause for Nanoha's injury, but Vita blames herself for not noticing.
It may be a conspiracy for all we know (Joke) :D :DShe could be blaming herself for not noticing where Nanoha was… and then…

Certainly Vita has the command style that if you screw up, she's going to let you know. Can't really blame her for being upset, that was a very dangerous move that could've ended badly if Vita hadn't been there. While I'm sure Teana will be hard on herself someone had to say it. It was a nice attack before things started to go south.
Knights did a good job out there really impressing everyone. While you know the difference in level between the old and new characters it was pretty clear when Signum easily took down that gadget that required a very impressive combo move with Caro and Erio. Did anyone actually see Erio? Seriously I know with so many characters you can't fit a lot of fighting for them all but still something would've been nice.
That Lutecia is pretty dangerous with the level of her summoning. Really improving the gadgets abilities and making them all the tougher. Will be fun to see just what else she can pull off and what that Zest guy can do. Not a bad job for introducing her, but I'll surely like to see some more in the future.
With Yuuno, he really didn't get much this episode. All that we got there was him talking a bit and a "Yuuno-kun". But both girls looked happily surprised, so seems like they didn't know he'd be there.
One day we'll get Chrono's grand entrance. In the darkest hour he'll show up to help out...we can only hope.

Hmm...sounds like a set-up-through-battle- and minor plot development episode as usual with little male screentime and also some QUALITY! :P
Can't say I didn't expect the Yuuno thing. Even though his story potential is there, the development on the fray of things seem still low-key and more rookie-centric sprinkled with bits here and there and having Yuuno thrown in here seems a little awkward. Hey, most of us didn't expect to see him until episode 15 at least so what's wrong with him pulling a Dororo on us?
And him being addressed as Yuuno-sensei is a given, since he's apparently a pretty well respected and famous scholar, maybe even an author, and it's by general respect that he gets addressed as such.
So...next week we get typical up!genki!understanding! d0rama?

No doubt you get some crazy face distortion in some arcs of Higurashi (finished watching that yesterday).
Understandible that Yuuno would have the title considering what he's probably been up to all these years. Maybe just because we'll always remember him as Yuuno-kun, or ferret-boy.
Next week certainly seems like Teana getting over her mistake from this episode. Probably some flashbacks with her time with Subaru, and some speach from said Subaru getting her past this issue.
- Looks like the art took a hit, again.
- Subaru pats Zafira's head. Hee.
- I will never understand fashion. The dresses that the three Aces wear certainly look expensive and high-class, but... I dunno. They look severely impractical to me.
- Wow, Fate is stacked.
- Yuuno! And the other guy is definitely Acous; he sounded very Koizumi-esque to me. I wonder why Yuuno didn't instantly recognize Fate, or vice versa; maybe they haven't seen each other for a long time.
- I have to wonder once again if Subaru and Teana are communicating telepathically, and if this is a special ability only they have, or if it's Standard Issue for TSAB enforcers.
- This looks like the sort of well-organized sting operation that will go wrong thanks to something unexpected.
- "OMG, Zafira spoke?" I have to wonder if it's a good idea to separate the two Newbies of Caro and Elio from the more experienced Signum and Zafira.
- I see Cross Mirage has at least the same capabilities as Teana's old Anchor Gun.
- Wolkenritter henshin! I think they had to get approval from HQ to do so too. As usual, Zafira gets left out.
- I see that the primary method for bypassing an Anti-Magic Field appears to be brute force attacks. That, or these Gadgets aren't using AMFs anymore.
- Zafira really is a Tanker.
- Either Teana is impressed by the Wolkenritter, or she's jealous. Or both.
- Lutecia's Device is called Asclepius. Even more connections with Caro. Looks like Zast doesn't like Scaglietti, but Lutecia doesn't mind, and Zast doesn't really mind that Lutecia is willing to work for the doctor.
- Square sigil! Along with ominous music and evil-looking dark purple. Also, Caro's Kerykeion reacts.
- Tentacles? No, insects. And they apparently can upgrade the Gadget drones.
- Do all villains have to sound so creepy? Scaglietti and his secretary sound so cliche.
- Caro, the defenseless Boost mage, jumps between Subaru and Elio, the melee fighters, and the summoned/transported drones. What.
- Rein gets tagged by a few insects. This seems to cripple her a lot more than I expected.
- Teana seems to hate asking for help.
- Wow, Vita can really chew out someone. I feel kind of sorry for Subaru and Teana.
- Yuuno again! And... that's it? Well, at least now Nanoha and Fate know he's there, so maybe next episode we can have more Yuuno.
- Teana angsts. I kind of saw this coming. Riot Force 6's first failed mission (technically, anyway), which gives us another episode to reflect on it, with even more opportunities for angst.
- I wonder if they'll show any disciplinary actions against Teana. Vita did yell at Subaru already for it, and nobody really got hurt, but I don't know whether Teana's super-shot was actually breaking any regulations.
- Prediction for next episode: Teana angsts, Subaru attempts to cheer her up, lots of reminiscing about their training days. We may get a bit more Yuuno interaction, but I'm thinking that this will carry over to the next after. Then again, I was pretty much wrong on both counts with my previous predictions for this episode, that we'll have some Yuuno scenes (as opposed to the two short glances we had), and the team will actually meet Lutecia (they didn't meet face-to-face).

She seems to be looking for something, but that job was something she accepted from the scientist-guy on the spot.
To be honest, the quality STILL doesn't seem to be as bad as that one episode of A's. The one where the person who does the animation/art decided to drastically warp Nanoha's face. That, and this company fixes things on DVD.

As bad as all of this becomes, I have kinda started to simply expect it out of Nanoha, so it's not too bad for me.
Yeah, I can't watch the broadcast version of the first two seasons anymore. It's just so... weird.
I also remember getting yelled at for "noticing only the superficial" when I complained about the artwork then. Ah, vindication.
I was already expecting less-than-stellar art quality in StrikerS, perhaps approaching Cabbage proportions. The twenty-six episode count would mean that there would likely be more of these sorts of episodes (which would get fixed on the DVDs), so I'm bracing myself.

indeed. My bet is half the funds get ditributed amonst the first 3/4's of the series with the last half for the last 1/4. That last quarter will have the best action scenes and therefore quality will be needed^^ Up until the end, will see good amonst bad quality (depended on what is being shown^^) It standard of practice, least thats what I think.

- Prediction for next episode: Teana angsts, Subaru attempts to cheer her up, lots of reminiscing about their training days. We may get a bit more Yuuno interaction, but I'm thinking that this will carry over to the next after. Then again, I was pretty much wrong on both counts with my previous predictions for this episode, that we'll have some Yuuno scenes (as opposed to the two short glances we had), and the team will actually meet Lutecia (they didn't meet face-to-face).
Might think there could be some disciplinary action against Subaru. Was a friendly fire incident, just instead of nailing Subaru it was deflected by Graf Eisen. But this is a troop run by Hayate, so the punishment could just be some cosplay and a tough training run by Nanoha. Vita did chew her out over it so they might just put it as an accident and not really go too far. Regardless its clear Teana is going to take this situation hard and work herself until Subaru can cheer her up.
Thought the Subaru and Teana telepathic chat was normal for mages. Just focus on who you want to talk to and your ready to talk right into their minds.
Probably would save the big budget episodes for the last part of the series. Right now its a lot of character development and such so they'll ration the money. Once we get to the last stretch we can be sure to see some massive battles and hopefully high quality visuals to match.

I've noticed that in a lot of cases, a chewing out and some token punishment (kitchen duty, perhaps) is sufficient for accidents, at least in the popular notion of military life. (Yes, I know the Real World works differently.) Presumably the offender knows his/her mistake, and is already beating him/herself up over it.
In Teana's case, I could see a potential plot development where she drives herself so hard that she collapses and is taken out of action for a while, but I think that sort of tendency would have turned up in a psych evaluation. (Only probably, though; there's always the outside chance.) If it did happen, it would provide for more angst, and maybe a re-evaluation of Teana's suitability for active duty, but that would probably complicate matters too much. I'm guessing that Subaru will likely talk Teana out of her depression in an episode or two, and Teana might get another starring scene, this time successful, to shore up her self-esteem.
I'm not sure if Nanoha is going to be the one personally dishing out the punishment. I imagine that Vita will be the one actually doing it, but then we know nothing about how this unit operates normally, or even the quasi-military TSAB as a whole.

Yeah, I just found it kind of odd that with all the tech talk so far, I haven't really seen anyone talking about this. We've seen it in the first season between Nanoha and Yuuno (as well as Arf and Fate), in the second season between the Wolkenritter, and I'm guessing that it's not a difficult thing to learn, at least for mages. I need to watch the first season again; maybe telepathy requires a Device of some sort. It seems to be Standard Issue, and yet should be a bit harder than spamming energy blasts.

I'd be willing to bet that Teana will torture herself about that mistake until almost death, whereas Subaru will try as best as she can to cheer her up. She's the type that can't afford making mistakes or her conciousness will kill her.
Hopefully they'll give us something really good at the end of the series, that justifies the lack of good animation in certain episodes.

Watched the episode, and I mirror everyone's sentiments about the animation. It was kind of dissapointing, but after the weird hiccups of the first two seasons, we shouldn't be too surprised. It is kind of annoying that this episode seemed to have even less of a buget than the training episodes, and this was the first time we really got to see the Wolkenritter fighting. (Other than 20 seconds in episode 3)
Quick side note though, I did find it pretty awesome when Signum loaded a cartridge with her sword still sheathed. Too bad she didn't bust out with some awesome batto-jutsu energy slash or something.
Anyway, Lutecia seems to act a lot more like Caro than I thought, with her bugbots being some sort of uber-boost for the drones. I'm sure we'll see more of her ghost/dragon/whatever summon in later eps.
Anyway, anyone who is dissapointed with the animation should rewatch the first half of episode 5 of the first season. *shudders* Puts everything in perspective.

Since it is a new unit they'll probably have to figure out how to deal with it. Though they are part of a larger organization so there's probably an idea how they would act if they'd do more then Vita already did on the scene. When your working with something like magic there is always the chance that an accident can occur. Since Subaru wasn't actually injured in the event it probably won't be too much. Add in they'll probably notice that Teana is already beating herself over this and let it be.
I have no doubt in Subaru's ability to hound Teana until she gets cheered up. It's that kind of relationship they have that's made them a good team up to that point. Everything should be fine in an episode in that regard, though have to wonder how Teana will respond when they get back into action. Could expect some self doubt, that she'll have to work through most likely in order to save the team from being taken out.

As for Teana, it seems that one of her big concerns is her not fitting in too well with the rest of the group. Everybody else has alot of natural talent and/or has connections. Teana has neither and I think it might be starting to bug her. Probably one of the big conflicts in the next episode is how Subaru has the connections, and how Teana may believe that the only way she got in was through Subaru.
…though one of the things that's been annoying me in this series so far is how distant the old cast and the new cast has been to each other so far. Wish they did a little bit more with the interactions between the two groups. Hopefully the next episode will deliver.

Hmmmm I don't typically complain about animation quality in any show, so I'm not going into that here, not matter how QUALITY the art and animation go in this episode. *Still waiting on raw DL*
Although Lutecia seems to to impress already with her skills, although unusually my biggest surprise was in the name of her device Aesculapeius (And I thought I'd already claimed that name for the character creation thread :heh: )
And It's nice to see the Wolkenritter in their old outfits again, awesomeness right there :D

Yeah she actually partially taking control of em, more precisely her bugs became the drones' new brain.Remember that in Ep6 Spagethii said the drones are autonomous and out of his control once released so they are pretty monotone and clumsy by themselves.None of em even bother to try to avoid the knight's attack.
Why did that suddenly remind me of Gundam SEED? meaningless talking epi. :heh:
^.^ because Nanoha = Gundam + CCS or any typical Mahou shojo show
A better RAW just got posted.
Was the object Luceta's "friend" stole stored in the truck that had the doors ripped off, or was her "friend" hiding there the whole time, waiting for Luceta to tell him/her where it was?
What does Yuno do in this episode? Will he be in the next?
Considering we have Kerykeion, why are we calling it Asclepius or Aesculapius? We don't call Caro's device Caduceus, so shouldn't we be calling it "Asklepios"?

It ripped off the door and run off with the items, the broken wodden crate was shown inside the truck.Re watch the part where spagethii was talking to Lutecia, he switched the screen to an image of truck.
That friend of her was the black garyuu summon that she did,the insect search and locate the items then it was send to retrieve em..
What does Yuno do in this episode? Will he be in the next?
Nothing he appeared less than 10 sec, no idea whether he will be in next episode.Most probably he will, since Ep6 end with him giving out speech before Teana crying scenes.

I have to say, as much as people (including myself) have complained about the animation this episode, none of those complaints apply to Teana's little freak-out there. The whole attack looked pretty slick, especially that one shot of her shooting both guns at the camera.
Makes me almost happy that she's going through the whole emo -> powerup phase right now, because I can imagine how badass she's gonna be once she really starts busting out. I also liked how she now has an energy version of her grappling hook technique from the first episode.
Also, Subaru can pretty much fly already. :heh: They don't seem to be putting any limitations on wing road, and she's shown standing still on top of it at several places in the episode. I guess the only weakness as opposed to just regular flying would be that the opponent can see where she wants to go, but in this episode she was shown making the road just a few feet in front of her as she was moving, so that's not even a weakness anymore.

It's a bit too linear to substitute for flying, but at the very least she still has defensive magic.

Also, with an AMF, you can easily cut off her Wing Road. If she happens to be in a really high place, she could suffer from severe injuries, not to mention death.

They jumped off from some pretty darn high altitudes. If they could survive a fall that high, they could probably also survive an unexpected fall from hights much lower than that.
If her wing road was cut a really high altitude, it could always auto activate when far enough from the ground.Plus the BJ would be enough protect her bodies even if she hit the ground just like how Nanoha was thrown in A's..only scratches.
The only disadvantages of wind road like meophist mention is the maneuver , it doesn't seem to be able to go vertically straight up or down like flying. something like exact L shaped maneuver would be difficult.

While I agree that wing road entails a lot less maneuverability than the standard flight, Subaru has shown that she can even use it to travel vertically, in fact, even without Mach Caliber's help. (ep 4)
If you just mean that she can't hover slowly up, than I'll concede that.
At any rate, after her wind road bridge in episode 5 and the obvious proficiency that she has with it this episode, I've definately been impressed by how well she's been handling herself in the air. Makes me wonder if she has a long way to go before getting classified as an Air Combat mage. :heh: In fact, given that flight is a goal of both Subaru and Teana, I had origionally been wondering how they would give Subaru such an ability, considering that it'd just look dumb for her to hover around wearing rollerblades. :D
....Um, yeah. I guess there wasn't any point to this post other than to express how cool I think Subaru is. Teana needs to get out of emo mode fast so we can see them kick ass together, because I forsee some seriously awesome stuff once they finally stop acting like newbs.

I'd say Barrier Jacket has powered armour and inertia/shock dampers built in. :heh: Looking at Vita's explaination in 6, it seems the defensive aura permeates the user in a constant manner.
Keeping wing road closer to the body is somewhat better than before, kind of like how Iceman does it :D Better able to keep the spell away from the effect of an AMF although Subaru is going to leave much of the driving to MC. I doubt there will be a problem of the girl stopping or even slamming into a wall from this, unless the AMF has a good enough reach to negate Subaru's travel spells. Likely MC can create Wing Road around obstacles and kick in Assault Grip for traction and sudden stops.
Vita being Vita is always serious business :uhoh: She has probably been whacking the opposition for countless millennia, so she feels it's going to take a while for anyone to be able to measure up. Nanoha beat/befriended her through superiority of raw firepower :heh: how the rookies do this I'm already eager to see :D

Hmm seem i didn't word my reply properly.What i mean is that even in Ep4 when She used wing road to travel vertically, the roads didn't exactly go in straight line.They are all kind of circular in a way.That means there will be slight delay if she need to avoid attack by going vertically up or down.

Well my take was of the dragonkin stage of a dragon's life, that is being able to assume a humanoid form. This supposedly occurs when the dragon has matured enough to gain the power to transform into a human, and having that state means that the dragon has indeed come quite far. I inferred that Lute's dragon is a very powerful one for that matter.

Indeed it is so. My guess however is that knowing Subaru, she might just get robot-boy feet for flight and starting jumping around like Astroboy.
A few other comments concerning the epi:
- You call that henshin?! I cry foul for tsukaima discrimination. I mean, we never even got enough a dose of Shamal MILFness to feel anything. :heh:
- Zafira does it simple: Stand his ground. Just like a Velka guy always does. :D
- Fate opens her eyes and walks past, while Yuuno thinks he saw someone familiar. Both parties were involved in deep thought and conversation respectively before that brush meeting, so you can forgive them for not noticing. But I got to admit, its kind of unlike Fate to miss stuff, especially when she's a top investigator. Probably a plothole here.
Sakura: [Loli Rider!!! Kawaii!]
Kha: :heh:
- Red Eyes Black Dragon turned out to be a Dragonkin (stated above)
- The drone blitz through the forest reminded me of the Trade Federation from Star Wars Episode 1
- We got the Caro-Lutecia Newtype reaction alright.
- Rein2 got owned by bugs?! Even though its a scratch, it still speaks much of Lutecia's magic rank. Either that, or RZ needs to grow some spine. :heh:
- I really wonder about what that Lanstar bullet meant.
- Weeeeell... Crossfire Shoot really lived up to its name. :heh:
- Vita's reaction's pretty violent. Makes ya wonder if it was her Iron Howl that downed the White Demon in that injury incident.
*amps tension music to raise paranoia levels*
Fate: *whisper*
Nanoha: *listen*
Emcee: ... We're very honored to have with us today, Yuuno Scrya!
Both: *surprised smiles*
Nanoha: Yuuno-kun!
That reaction recharged enough cartridges for me to last this week if I'm careful. :heh: But like I insisted, this whole scenario was just another essay on Japanese killer work ethics that caused all sides to miss each other even when they right in front of each other.
And as expected, the Riot 6 was there undercover. Not even the guest speaker was told of their presence. But somehow, Yuuno being on the GOH list never ended up on Riot 6's table, which is weird considering that all good protection operations have an exact idea of what and who they are protecting. It's either another unforgivable plothole, or Hayate's been spending too much time playing with her Nii-chan to make sure they got everything. :uhoh:
More comments once the subs come out. There's still hope for the coming episodes. And looks like some angst is going to be served, I hope, in correct doses.

Here, something like in this pic (right one is wing road style) since i cant describe em properly in English (sorry still learning em >_<) :

I also didn't mean hovering only, wing road also wont be able to do a maneuver like Fate did in Ep6 after she transform.Launching straight up from the ground ala rocket.
Yup, yup, you're right. As I said, that post was really little more than my inner Subaru fanboy running wild. :uhoh: I'll try to keep things under control.
*deep breath*
....anyway, I revoice people's complaints about RII getting smacked by the bugbots. I mean, we know that these are some pretty awesome bugbots, but isn't RII supposed to be rank A+? That means better than all of the newbies and almost as high as the limiter-nerfed aces, right??? I don't care if she's the same size as the bugbots, that shouldn't have happened.
Get your act together, Zwei! You're the most moe character in an incredibly moe cast, but that's not enough in the Nanohaverse! Yes, in the Nanohaverse, where the women are garmoe and the men are side characters! In this universe, moe = POWER! show those bugbots the force of your nuclear cuteness beam!
...wow, I'm in a weird mood today. Maybe I should go to sleep.
*by the way, for anyone who doesn't speak 4chan, moe=cute and gar=badass.

Looks like I was right about the cute barrier being negated only by a cute barrier of equal or greater strength :heh: Rein2 need her holy vengence against the bugs now :upset: I blame the limiter to her radioactive moe :eyespin:
Funny how Lutecia's VA also does this seasons other pint sized killing machine [Maki fron Seto-san :heh:].
There is something that I've always liked about this entire series, that the good guys don't always win. S1 has Nanoha lose to Fate in the majority of her encounters till she went nuclear >_<. S2 has both of them smashed into the floor by the Velka knights, leading to another superweapon race :twitch: . S3 has a noob patrol learning the same hard lessons and having the old crew fight without the better part of their powers [limiter nerf+AMF Hax :(]. The whole setup of the series is calling for a rethink on how they should administer "overpowering friendship".
On the current team, as yet I don't believe they've started on intergration training with the old crew yet. The likely reason being that the recruits are not quite up to par in skills and maturity. Nanoha and Vita should make intergration a priority in their training regime, Fate is on the right track with her pair [though she could also be playing matchmaker :rolleyes: ].
Teana's issues come from being not having close relatives/family left for moral support. Highly independent and self reliant mindset for the girl, also less likely to ask for help and break when it gets hard.
But the manga illustrates a good point about this, sometime if you want to fly you're going to have to get a leg from a friend. :uhoh:
With friends like this, the girl isn't going to stay depressed for long. :heh:

Fate: *whisper*
Nanoha: *listen*
Emcee: ... We're very honored to have with us today, Yuuno Scrya!
Both: *surprised smiles*
Nanoha: Yuuno-kun!
That reaction recharged enough cartridges for me to last this week if I'm careful. :heh: But like I insisted, this whole scenario was just another essay on Japanese killer work ethics that caused all sides to miss each other even when they right in front of each other.
Ahh~ It's the little things in life eh?
More comments once the subs come out. There's still hope for the coming episodes. And looks like some angst is going to be served, I hope, in correct doses.
Fate bounced back up pretty quickly :heh:
Or maybe it's because the plot demands it... :uhoh:
In fact, given that flight is a goal of both Subaru and Teana, I had origionally been wondering how they would give Subaru such an ability, considering that it'd just look dumb for her to hover around wearing rollerblades. :D
Mach Calibre turns into rocket boots! Or something.
I'm not sure if there's any evidence either way of whether Wing Road can be a good enough substitute for actual flight. I'm not sure if it requires a sort of anchor point, or if it requires more magical energy to maintain than flying around. (Or an equal amount, but since a B-rank may not have the same amount as an A-rank... this is getting complicated.)
Basically, here's a scenario: Vita gets attacked by a generic beam of energy. She blocks it, but gets knocked back a few feet. She regains her balance, and continues hovering.
Now imagine this with Wing Road: Subaru gets attacked by a generic beam of energy, blocks it, and gets knocked off Wing Road. Now, if Wing Road is summonable in thin air, that's fine. But if she needs an anchor point on solid ground, that may complicate matters. Imagine if the battle is over a large expanse of ocean, like Nanoha's and Fate's climactic battle in the first season, or the final Pin The Starlight Breaker On The Tentacle Monster battle in A's.
Speaking of battles over lack of solid ground, I need to rewatch the first season, but I have to wonder: with all the anti-magic the Gadgets are throwing around, wasn't the first (and until StrikerS, last) mention of zones where magic doesn't work in the Nanoha-verse in the first season, during the last battle in the Garden of Time?
EDIT: A random thought occurs: I get the feeling that at least part of why Teana is beating herself up over that stray shot was because in using the Crossfire, she exhausted herself so much that she could not control the direction of her shot (as Nanoha was training her in episode 6). At least, that's my interpretation.
Also, this is technically the second time (?) onscreen that a stray shot had unintended consequences. The first time destroyed a camera drone; whether this resulted in Official Consequences (apart from them failing the test) for Teana is unknown.

Had to look back at ep 5 to check, but it appears that WR is generated from MC, and the skates are attached to the road. I suspect that the entire spell is simply a variation of the protection spell, it creates a thin yet solid barrier for her to traverse [extending forward]. That would also mean her wallwaking spell is also on at the same time in order to stay on the road.
As for her ability to climb, projecting the field radiating upwards should do the trick even if there isn't an anchor behind her.

Yeah that's right! And if Spagetti can build AMF's he probably knows how to counter it himself, and if those "mana voids" are naturally occuring AMFs, that would also mean he could dive into whatever deep end of the void pool is Precia and Alicia at and retrieve their bodies, and even the JS that went down with them. While I'm sure the original JS might have gone into more durable drones/Relic weapons we have yet to see, that might also explain how he mass produces them for his drones.
Yes its quite a stretch... What do u guys think?
EDIT: It is kinda telling that the most anticipated episode yet... is met with such stillness from all sides. This is the ultimate stalemate I've ever encountered. :p At least there is a moment of galactic peace.

Considering Subaru was using Wing Road in episode one, I'd say that Mach Calibre is not the source of that particular spell.
However, it is possible that Mach Calibre refined the spell, perhaps using its own methods to approximate Subaru's original Wing Road. After all, Subaru also cooked up her own Divine Buster. So it is entirely plausible that the Wing Road seen in episode 5 is an upgraded, or perhaps simply different version of the one seen in episode 1.
Random: In episode 4, Nanoha is distracted (in the "hit me if you can" training exercise) by an illusion of Subaru bearing down on her on a Wing Road. Now, this could mean that Subaru can control all the twists and turns of the Wing Road without actually being near the edge of it, or Teana has gotten really good at illusions, enough to recreate a Wing Road illusion.
I'm not sure if the grip by Mach Calibre is enough to contend with the knockback from plenty of spells, but then it's also very plausible.

Right now, running on four hours of sleep, I'm thinking that maybe one reason Scaglietti needs a summoner with extreme power (boosted by the Relics) is because he wants to summon Alhazred itself.
Even more of a stretch, though.
EDIT: Also, I should add that I think the zones of null magic in the Garden of Time are at least several orders of magnitude harder to crack than the AMFs produced by the drones. I still haven't checked the episode in question yet, but I think Chrono mentions that if they fall into the null magic zone, they won't be able to escape.
Now, this could be because Chrono wasn't confident of them knowing what to do to overcome the anti-magic. But I think it's more probable that even with Nanoha's and Fate's known uber-talent for magic, those null magic areas are just too much for anyone.
I'm not sure whether to bring up Precia's own magical talents, since at the end, it's a tossup about whether she'd bother trying to save herself (and Alicia) from falling endlessly.
I'm guessing that any attempts Scaglietti would have hypothetically made into that null magic zone would have required a more elegant solution than what Riot Force 6 is doing against the drones, which is a simple brute force attack. If he succeeded, though, it'll be interesting to see what he finds fit to retrieve, since we know that in there, there is at least Precia, three Jewel Seeds, and Alicia. I would think that if he tried to extract any one of them without extracting them all, Precia would go ballistic on him, since all of those were fairly important to her.
Hey guys, been lurking for about a month now, but darco's been telling me to get on the forums so here i am :).
Watched the ep a few hours ago and was very surprised at the quality of the raw. My eyes, there fine... :D
Interesting ep, with transformation scenes of all the knights. Very short though, all of them were less than 10-15 secs each roughly.
Yuuno appears for about 10 seconds max, but most of the ep was showing what was happening outside, so thats understandable. Also, Fate/Nanoha had no idea that Yuuno was there. They did look happy to see him though...
Lucetia aka loli rider has finally arrived, with bug bots that enhance the perfomance of the drones as well as another summon that was able to sneak past everyone and steal the relic.
Tia's crossfire shoot is much more powerful now, as well as having alot more shots. All she needs now is learn some control, one of her shots nearly takes out Subaru but was batted out of the way but Vita just in time. Gets chewed out by Vita, setting up what looks to be an ep. on Tia's reaction to nearly taking out Subaru.
Thats all for now.. will post more if i can remember more details...

Lol, so you finally got on :D....
heh, While at it even if its late I'll post my throughts too
First thing first, Fate and this Ep gets +1 for ignoring Yunno :heh:
Down to business then:
First is the briefing session on the plane, nothing speacial here other this the forwards learns who is the enermy and Subaru absently pat Zafira :heh:
Then is the 7sec Yunno carmo, once again good job Fate :D
Subaru and Teana's dialoge about Hayate's knights, only thing I noted is her passing comment on basicly its invincible to beat.
Teana is self comments are intersting like how the unit is overpowered with Captians are at least S+ rank, and units are full of people with rare skills. She is having an inferior complex I think.
...more after... Dinner...

Summoning entire realms seem a little... uber for a small person with a tiny device.
My guess is that she'd let herself fall indefinitely to reach whatever place she's headed for. I doubt she'll reach Al Hazred or find the Necromnicon (its related to Al Hazred) or whatever she intends to do, but would be falling down a bottomless pit. And that gives Spagetti's drones or himself a chance to reach her.
But I wonder in what state would the Doc find his specimens in. It's been 10 years since they started falling...

@Darco: As i said, Fate missing Yuuno was unfortunate, but definitely not intentional. Her second reaction to his name proves it. Buuuuut... I sense a disturbance in the maryoku. 4komas, the evil world-coloring influenzers, are going to be all over this...

That would depend on what the actual conditions inside the null magic zone are. For all we know, the null magic zone might be similar to a black hole in that it's "timeless" in relation to the outside. Someone could find Precia 50 years later and her most recent memory would be falling into the zone. :heh:

woah i just checked out the VA for Lucetia and its the same VA that does Alph back in the first season and in A's.
maybe thats why they decided to not make alph appear in StrikerS???
looking through this thread, i've spoiled myself already about this episode and it seems we get some Lucetia action in this one...finally the real enemy makes a move!
but at the end, Teana almost makes a grave mistake??!!
almost hitting Subaru with her shot...then Vita smacking it away from Subaru and then yelling the crap out of Teana...
somehow i knew that someone in Riot Force 6 was gonna make some kind of mistake that would generate an episode of comforting for the person that made that mistake...
and the Velka's get some transformation time also, which is something i'm looking forward to!
oh yea and Yuuno only having 10seconds of screen time??...kinda makes me wonder if he will be a valuable asset in this season...
other than that, i got spoiled...oh wells...

And Shamal is quite happy about those three boxes wasn't she (I'm assuming they held the Ace's dresses)? Also loved the expression the front desk clerk gave when the Aces arrived, although I'm wondering if it's really because of Hayate's ID, or because the trio looked damn smexy :heh:

Highlight for me is Caro and Erio surpised by talking Zafira.. looks like more and more of the 4korma are coming true.
Transforming scenes makes up the lack of it durning A's, I shivered throught Shamal's, while Signum's is cool, eternal loli always wins.
Now on to the battle pre-Lutecia's involvement, Vita and Signum is doing what they do best on A's and that is smash and slash, However its what Zafira does surpised me, Interesting to see defend by tanking and at mean while cast AoE too.
Looks like Zest is no friend of Doc's and while Lutecia does not seems to mind him... So with Lutecia's summoning spell cleared the question why Caro's device have a reaction, Seems that other summoners can sense near by summonings too...
Moving along now, I wonder how much of Rein's body is soild since the bugs can cut her. Hmm Summoning and transportation magic combined, nice Lutecia very nice indeed.
Reckless Teana and an angry Vita, I guess next ep is forcusing on Teana over comes this. as Liingo said today maybe thats what happened to Nanoha from the manga flashback...
So Lutecia found and send the item to Doc, I wonder what it is too.... Also interestingly Lutecia is looking for something too, this should give us 20 pages at least :heh:
Koi.. no no Acous scene with Hayate was nice, now where is that Kyon :heh:
Yunno so you got another 4 sec, now you can disappear now...

It could possibly a kind of shadow being, and not a dragon at all. Having a "-ryu" in the name does not necessarily mean it is one.

It does look like it has wings at one stage (20:08-20:09), It could be a shapeshifter thing too, depends on how you look at the shadow it casts.

Haha, indeed. I would imagine that if Lutecia does have a dragon (or another powerful creature worthy of being a dragon's match), it would make a more impressive entrance, instead of creeping around like a thief (even if it's for a useful purpose).

Since Teana does feel inferior with everyone around her are speacialists or with rare abilites or have God(Kira) Hex or Cute barrier, so it is justified she gets a little EMO, but indeed I really hope this does not get carried over even half of the next Ep.
A little more on Lutecia's objective could be nice too, even though I'm getting they are saving it for later.
If there is training then it will be good for the forwards or at least Teana and Subaru to get a REAL mock battle with Nanoha or Vita :D

Finally got to watch the episode in full, and for one even though the action scenes could've been better, the episode doesn't quite reek "QUALITY" that most other people here point out. :heh:
Thoughts:
- Zafira just owned Caro and Elio simply by talking... it's strange that despite doing less here than in A's, I found him more awesome in this ep.
- Wolkenritter Henshin, nuff awesomeness said. It's unusual how Shamal has the longest transformation (not unwelcome though :D)
- As expected, the Wolkenritter do what they do best: kicking ass. Although Vita being able to shoot off 8 Schwalbe Fliegens instead of 4 in A's was quite new (the way they animated it reminded me of GDI Juggernauts doing a long range bombardment... my favorite tactic :heh: ). And Signum should do her in-sheath cartridge loading more often XD
- ... and all that azzkicking makes Teana wish she had an ounce of awesomeness the Knights have...
- Lutecia was pleasantly surprising in her abilities and her character. Even while performing all the dirty business she seems to care a lot about her summons, which I found cute. And the fact that she was able to perform three different tasks (enhancing and teleporting the drones, and stealing their target) without even exposing herself is awesome by itself.
- For a moment Teana was superbly awesome with her mass Crossfire Shoot attack... it was unfortunate that Vita had to save Subaru from getting hit (I guess it's not called Crossfire for nothing... :heh: ). And did Vita grill Teana... HARD.
- Acous wins for giving us a scene that actually made me smile for some reason (Hayate jabbing him playfully) :)
- YUUNO SCRYA SENSEI :D

I supose you never heard of Onyxia then? She takes on a human form from time to time to 'play' with humans by messing up their political systems.
Forgive me for being dense, but this comparison does not make any sense to me. Where are the similarities? And does using her human form mean that she cannot be a WMD in her real form?
Thus said, unless there is solid proof that
1) Garyu is a pre-evolved stage of a real dragon;
2) it is in a sealed mode (think Freidriche);
3) any other thoughts that would link it to a real dragon;
I stand my ground. That we are jumping to conclusions about its supposed identity.
Well, in terms of entrances, she still put up quite a show :heh:
Touché.
Hmm, with Tia's emo-momentum, is it possible for Yuuno to enter the scene and help out? Maybe she needs a little counceling that our resident bookworm can provide.

True, but like Onyxia, we don't know wether Garyu can't go WMD as well.

You forgot Zafira in combat :heh:, Out of all the knight's actions this ep, I found Zafira's tanking by far the coolest....
Lutecia, well the only thing really on my mind is just LOLI :heh:
Too Bad nobody noticed the ferret until the end :D.
Hmm, Just realised something I think Shamal is been completly corrupted by Hayate, Just look at she smile when she replied Caro "Those are captain's Working cloth" :heh:, I wonder what is this summer comkiet's cosplay design...
I supose you never heard of Onyxia then? She takes on a human form from time to time to 'play' with humans by messing up their political systems.
For some reason this comment reminded me of two names: Dunkelzahn and Lofwyr.
I think the speculations on trying to link Caro to Lutecia even more are warranted, considering how much the show already tries to establish a link (Kerykeion reacting to Asclepius, and I'm only using these spellings because that's all I can remember). I suppose I'll have to eat my words when we find out that the only reason they're lumped together is because they're both summoners and nothing more.
I have a very active imagination when it comes to speculations on future events, but I try to rein them in with a demand for canon evidence. It really is still too early in the show to state much with any certainty, especially considering the admittedly slow pace of this season, and the producers' well-established tendencies to spring things on us out of the blue.
I think that's why I'm so fascinated by the links to the first season of MSLN: I had been expecting everything New and Not Related To The Past, like how A's barely had anything to do with the first season, and the sudden link to the Jewel Seeds made me feel all giddy. If the producers put in that reference, what else could they have put in?
And then I realize that I'm imagining situations like Nanoha collapsing due to combat injuries, before suddenly being saved by her siblings Miyuki and Kyoya who had secretly enlisted in the TSAB to watch over their little sister, and then I have to stop and pound in the tenet of CANON EVIDENCE ONLY in my head.

That is the feeling I get from Caro's words and actions anyways.

Well most of the first season was wrapped up petty nicely with all the media's released with the series and after the series. What interest me is I wonder if there will be any in depth metion of the project Precia was working on...

If you're talking about the one that killed Alicia, the novel is your friend.
That again, if it's Project Fate, the novel helps as well.
Conclusion: If you can, get the novel (and Sound Stages) too.

Thoughts.
- Wow, the aces must hate Jail so much that they used his ugliest portrait as debriefing. :P
- Teana angst. Typical insecure inferiority complex. Too bad she doesn't know even Orange isn't interested in her either.
- Zafira traded henshin + human form for awesomeness. Good enough.
- The dynamic has potential, but so far, Lutecia's abilities speak louder. Wonder what "Knight" Zest can do...Tanking?
- Yay for better enemies. Still drones, but at least with Lutecia backing, Vita's worries about being harder actually sound it has some ground this time round.
- Garyu's silhouette looks like something out of Guyver or Creature from the Black Lagoon...

- You're no Sensui, Tea. Your killer-blow was nice and all, but bad ending.
- Acous...looks...a little...old. I hope it's just QUALITY. Looks like a nice dynamic though...even if it screams Velka siblings.
- Yuuno-sensei. Looks like whether or not he'll have any form of interaction depends on whether or not they will time-skip the next episode.
- Oh noes. Next week we get self-angst, genki!, and PARTNER-bonding. You know...stuff that makes up yuri fanarts and followings.

Actually, I've just realized something about Lutecia's VA Natsuko KUWATANI... Other than the fact that she's Arf's VA...
Remember how I mentioned before that it would be funny if her VA is the former Nagato Yuki?
Well, i got it close...

Heh, chapter 3 and 4 from the novel was emotionally painful for me to read. Once is almost too much for me....
with the rewatching on chinese sub, wow I know Tea was been negative and all but NOT THAT negative, she gets a -10 for that....
Since the Doc says the abilites Lutecia displayed is just a small portion of her skills, I wonder what else she can do....

Screw knives, male impotency perfumes are the way to go!
And well...in terms of comparisons, Lutecia's small portion seem mildly more effective than Caro's, since Caro has dangers of not being able to control her dragon.
And such a few number of those bugs forced an A+ mage from the frontlines due to possible danger. A+! What the hell? I can understand if she was surrounded or something, but c'mon. 3!? Or was it 4?
I know the bugs/Rein part can be attributed to other reasons, but still...It felt like a cheap way to evade Lutecia and Zest being found out early.

It could be the Rein is a program/magic based body and thus weak against bugs that can take over control systems and such. or it can be the Shamal is fears that if Rein is injured she will be force in to cosplay too :D.

Here I was thinking she'd yell at the guy for being a useless sealouse and hammer him with a rapidfire watercanon. At the very least the knife will have blowfish poison coated on :uhoh:
On episode proper, Zafira should be called the Impaler or Zerg Lurker :heh:
Just realised that if the loli pair of Caro and Lutetia ever go head to head, it means their respective guardians have to bash one another as well. Don't have quite that much hope for Erio when that happens. The boy is still a lightweight :uhoh:

Although shame he didn't do much in this episode... would've liked to see more of his Zankantou Ichimonji Giri from episode 5 :D
*panting* 130... freakin... responses!! :frustrated:
Then most of points were already pretty much covered up by many people...
Wow, I have nothing to do this time :rolleyes:
Let's just say, Teana goes L5 and Yuuno failed.
Oh, and QUALITY.
Well, some points I've noticed that weren't covered yet;- Apparently some LL are legally tradable under TSAB's permission.
Until now I thought all the LLs are dangerous in one way or another, but obviously this is not the case; otherwise why TSAB would give permission?
Maybe some LL are simple beautiful artifact without any hidden function, or something.
Of course, smugglers may take the oppotunity and use this kind of auction to trade illigal LLs too, according to Fate.
- So, the reason RF6 is there is simply ordered to do so... just because there're LL and Drone may mistakenly raid it.
Looks like RF6 officially is the anti-Drone combatants within TSAB, or at least they're already considered so.
... Still, isn't it strange that RF6 are sent to such a... well... waiting for a enemy that may not come at all?
- Like everyone has already mentioned, Zafira had some very cool moment.
Now that I remember, that Zafira is not in a rank of TSAB like all other Wolkenlitters are - so most likely he doesn't have limiter on him.
Maybe that's the reason of his awesomeness?
- Someone remember Subaru said "Tia's multishots are not usually accurate" in Ep1?
Up until now she didn't have problem, but now that she tried to control lots of em she failed... could-have-been fatally.
Am I going too far in thinking that this might be implying which direction Tia should take?
Unlike Nanoha who prefers to go macross-missile, she'd rather take one-accrate-shot-at-a-time method, in combination of Gun-Kata she's been practising in the preview.
- Cross Mirage loaded 4 cartridges at once, and both Tia and CM were showing all sign of being overloaded, despite of the fact that CM was designed with cartridge system from scratch.
Now when we look back at A's Ep12, incomplete-RH loaded 4 cartridges for Excelion Buster and there were no sign of danger... and RH was originally not intended to use cartridge.
...RH-san, you're awesome :heh: Now, the next episode would be all about Subaru's cheering up Rena... I mean, Teana.
Edit:
Removed... thread top clearly says that I shouldn't have done that, sorry.

Hmmm.... on this point, by most basic definition Lost Logia are simply magical or technological artifacts from an ancient civilization. By this definition, because it's listed as Lost Logia doesn't mean it has to be inherently dangerous. For example, if today's technology were considered Lost Logia, then we have nuclear, biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction which can be considered Jewel Seeds or such, but on the other extreme we'd have electric razors, pocket calculators and blenders which would be classified under the same definition, but inherently harmless (although you can hurt someone with an electric razor if you try hard enough :heh:).

Or worse, poison coated GIANT SHEARS.
Lol true about the lurker...Very very similar..
That aside, just finished the episode. Thoughts:
- Tia's monologue both before the OP and after talking to Subaru were mighty ominous.
- Subaru unknowingly pats Zafira LOL
- Ugh Acous's hair. From both front and back.
- Yes LoweGear. Wolkenritter transformations are _awesome_. Looks like they got the ep5 animation team back for just those, and that's good.
- Schwalbe Fliegen! On steroids!
- Signum's fight was pretty unimpressive though, just like she said, she only knows how to swing a sword and cut enemies down. No flair, just efficiency.
- I hope that's not what I think is a very unprotective BJ for Lutecia.
- Looks like the scales are now even, buffs wise.
- Was Tiana's overconfidence based on the fact that she was in the same team as various other geniuses/people with unique abilities?
- Rein nerfed?! WTFHAX, is all I have to say.
- I am now a fan of Sanada Asami. Full stop. Her scolding voice sends chills down my recently demilitarised(and therefore undisciplined) spine.
- Good chemistry from Ueda Kana and Ono Daisuke.
- I don't think the ep's animation quality was bad...quite decent in fact. Aside from the opening 5 minutes' eyes of the characters..
Cross Mirage loaded 4 cartridges at once, and both Tia and CM were showing all sign of being overloaded, despite of the fact that CM was designed with cartridge system from scratch.

...RH-san, you're awesome
I'm thinking the devices are most likely created equal, and hence I feel Cross Mirage should be handed none of the responsibility for the mistake. It's more likely that Tia's practice with her device has most likely not been enough and that she can't coordinate/control her own magic output rate/impulses that Cross Mirage was cracking under pressure. I'm thinking more along the line of sync ratios and stuff I guess, having just watched Gigantic Formula :P
