Nanoha - StrikerS - Episode 16 Discussion / Poll

[Key Board]

just a little comment

according to the official website

meister = creator / parent
lord = unison partner

since Agito complained about being lordless it is possible that she has been alone until recently

either that or Zest is not an official lord to her.

perhaps you needs a certain ceremony to make it official(just like certain other anime out there)

Ok i just finished watching the Raw (yes i know i am a bit late ><)

Comments, questions, and observations

1. I want to know what they are saying really bad because i know it is important. (rant)

2. Vita and Rein Unison = WIN ^^

3. Where the heck did all of these new Numbers come from?

4. ok someone PLEASE tell me what was said at the end when Subaru saw that numbers weapon that looked like Mach Caliber and Revolver Knuckle combined.

5. still no new OP >< (o well I don't care how long they take as long as it is good ^^)

6. so no devices in the conference?? ok i guess that makes sense.... somehow...

7. Agito + Zest unison??? ok there is a lot more to this that I first thought...

Spoiler for OC thread comment:

8. what is with the floating piano keys the numbers have??

9. is it just me or does V look kinda like Rein?

You mean what? The mission Briefing? Vita's discussion with Nanoha about jail's intentions? Fate's family talk? Teana-Vice talk?

She just called them what they are. Their official term anyway.

That's why I don't mess with characters in the middle of a story

Jail likes the mood it brings, and apparently MP3 downloads are ban as well.

There can only be so many combinations of hair/eyes colour

[Nightengale]

Rather than No.V looking like Rein, she looks more like...



Or if you want to think it in another way, the Small Boss joke might've caught on the director.



@Thisguy, I don't know if you've caught it, but the one with No. III with it's boomerang-ish IS is VII, not XII. I've rewatched, and Tre clearly addressed her as Sette. Granted, no. XII, Dido was also mentioned, but that's merely by Uno before the mission officially started, meaning that's XII's somewhere...ready...but not yet shown.

Oh yeah! I've completely forgotton about her!

I wanted to say that as well...

[Jimmy C]

It seems to me that Quarttro did not hack GC's control center. Instead, she used her illusions to make them think they were hacked. That distracted them long enough for Sein to incapacitate them and neutralize the control room.

..... i haven't edited Alex since his creation and that was on like page 20 of the OC thread >< And i based him off what I knew from Nanoha and A's ><

Ah ok that makes more sence.

[krisslanza]

It seems the Numbers are commanded via music. Or it's a more secure way or something, I'm just theorizing here.

[aeriolewinters]

Kirakishou from Rozen Maiden...

The Mission is simple, just protect the Ground Center, the slight difference is that the Forwards would be sent in first, while Hayate/Signum/Fate would come later.

Vita and nanoha were wondering what could be the motive for jail to attack the Ground Center.

Well yeah, something like that, or they have already been created, but not yet combat capable till this episode.

Originally Posted by Ratler

To be honest I can't remember any official term, but basically they're humans that have been enchanced by machines...

I suppose 'cyborgs' might be a good word.

Not really, it doesn't explain how she could see and hear Regius... Unless that happened after they knocked out the control room?

Sorry, still abit blur about the episode

I meant what Subaru said after getting hit to the wall then looking at the device on the numbers feet.

True, so very True

anyone have any speculations as to why they could not take their devices inside?? mine include

1. to prevent hot headed mage form taking a shot at someone during an arguement
2. reduce chance of a devision uprising
3. help prevent assassinations
4. To cause a general We are Scr**** scenario if attacked ( couldn't resist)

It was after they knocked out the control room, so I suppose you could say they hacked the internal cameras after that.

[Nemesis]

Hey guys, do you think that Caro would blame herself for not being able to protect Erio in the next episode?

It's not even confirmed what she was crying about in the preview, so it's hard to say anything judging from the Ep.16 alone.

[Tokkan]

I'm sure we can all guess why Subaru's charging at whoever with blood flying, blank murderous eyes and a whole lot of tears. And she's doing it at an explosive speed (by which I mean, she exploded from standing in place while glowing blue into that speed in the preview... there a a blue glow around her that just exploded as she started speeding off)... is that from MC's second mode?

[Deathkillz]

"beserk mode"
i expect all of the forwards to be knocked out in the next ep leaving caro to mourn...i also expect to see red eyes popping up to say "hi" ~ too bad erio will be asleep so he will miss his chance

[Ultima_Rasengan05]

Maybe Caro's crying maybe because it looks like Erio might have been beaten badly or has been captured as well, him being an experiment of Project F or maybe she's crying at the results of this battle.
I'm pretty sure that this time, the numbers got the best of TSAB and RF6 which means the defeat of RF6??
This could be a good change of pace since the aces always seemed to have the upper hand on everything...but after this episode, no one saw what was coming.
Plus look at the setting in the preview for the next episode, its raining.
I dont know if this is cliche in most animes that I've been watching but usually rainy setting=something very depressing is happening or just happened.

He was finishing the batch in the end of episode 15: Uno and the others were checking that the last ones were nearly ready.

I wouldn't put too much on the Aces being really screwed. From a tactical standpoint maybe (( and it's not their fault to begin with )), but I'm not so sure of the power-standpoint.

Firstly, the preview implies Hayate/Signum/Carim's locked in and with communications going haywire along with the AMF... chances are she won't be in the battle. Which may mean Nanoha and Fate are still limited to only AA rank. Which means being at Zafira's level.

Granted, it may be possible for self-override like Vita or other ways of releasing, through RF6 HQ or something... unless Vita gets royally screwed next episode by OVER 9000 SSJ Zest...

I fear Nanoha and Fate going through the Kira-effect. Even if they get screwed over, there's 'perfectly legit-in-plot-reasons' to say that they didn't really. Which I hope won't come to pass, or at least not that blatantly. C'mon now! I need more "heavy-duty-dimension-threatening-tension' in the air for the Aces, not just the rookies. And the Fate-mother-dilemma in SS2 doesn't count one bit.
