hinting that vice is out of the picture for good? hope not as he is the only male i like form the series ~ imo he should go back to being an ace sniper :3

The OP shows how the mood going to be for the last 7 episode,very serious and gloomy.No more fun ><

Heck, Due and Ginga are conveniently missing from the OP, and even the 'black thing' Nanoha faces in the OP cannot be seen clearly. And Fate isn't even facing her "rivals", spending time chopping up Drones in the lab. (( not even an indication, since Nanoha OP battle-scenes are quite random. ))

Fate VS Drones inside the lab(full of life pods) probably indicate that her designated rivals would be Jail himself.Nanoha dark opponent might have something to do with Vivio :C

How about Teana's? Who is the other number beside Wendy,cant see clearly.Dodi?

Yep, it was Wendy and Deed (their official spellings are out @ official site, btw).
Also Teana seems to be able to control far more bullets than when she lost control at EP7, surely she's becoming something too.

Are you sure about that?
IMO that OP has definitely shown where the show's going to go; serious wtfpwn battles.

[krisslanza]

I wanna see this OP... D:

^^ just saying that since everyone looks sad and serious in the Opening...No even person one is smiling (except jail )

Definitely much different from 1st Opening.

Thank you

[DmonHiro]

Can someone please post the opening somewhere else.....? Please?

[Nightengale]

OMG @_@

I don't remember WHO exactly said it, but Zest IS coughing out blood IN A FOREST.... Seems the effect takes place around 15 to 20 hours after usage of Full Drive. And had it not been for Rein, Vita most likely would've died. (( even though he only hit the hammer? @_@ ))

On that effect, I am TOTALLY sold on Zest x Agito. It's just so...endearing, especially how she teared up, and brought him that cup of hot drink.

[Master Anime]

Can someone explain what's going on in this episode

edit: lol the new OP...i see nanoha going crazy XD and subaru going "kamehameha!!"

Well...some of us like a general happy lucky go theme...and besides, its Maho Shoujo, few die unrepentant deaths. I wouldnt be surprised if the numbers goes with Luce and Zest in the end to do their own thing and the Doctor is brought to justice. And somehow I feel Due is going to be Ginga or even the doctor himself...

[Thisguy]

Thought of starting on summery... but after going through episode for twice it's already about 3:30 am.
I suppose I'll skip for today, for I don't wanna have a hell at my work tomorrow

It's nice being in Europe -- in my time zone, I can watch StrikerS around 8-9 pm.
(But last week, I stayed up until 6 am to discuss whether Jail is a Good Guy or not :-/ )

[Nightengale]

A few points...

- Quint is human, perfectly. Subaru and Ginga are not blood-related, and it was coincidental that they looked alike in hair color and looks. And apparently Genya/Quint can't give birth?

- The person who derived the concept and idea of integrating human bases with machine is Jail Scaglietti. It was 11 years ago that Ginga and Subaru were rescued.

- Quint's BJ looks exactly like Ginga's, only with dual knuckles.

- Zafira's injuries are quite serious. However, Vice is worse... looks like he's off the show.

- Chrono LUVs being together with Carim, huh? I thought he was on a MISSION yesterday?

- Regius used to be a very very radical winger. Apparently he was involved in a lot of funding of things, some things unethical, possibly Sentoukijin and Artificial Mage case involvements. At the very least, he clearly knows Zest, and is VERY AFRAID of him. Possibly involved in creation of Artificial Ancient Belka?

- Zest x Agito = <3 Sadly it looks like it's not to be, since Zest is clearly suffering. Zest considers himself different from the Number types.

- Subaru's IS severely damaged Cinque's frame and Nove's arm... A one-hit-killer IS so to speak. Ginga in a testtube. More Numbers sisterly lurv.

- Apparently Jail told Lutecia Relic Core XI can revive her mother. I don't know how true is that...but if that's true...god... Jail has over 75 Relics... And the Lutecia-ish testtube from Ep.5 wasn't a mistake after all. Looks like aside from Numbers, Jail has MORE testtubes girls... @_@

- Ah... NanohaFate scene. This time it's Fate being the one on top, so you NFers can get something different for once.

- Vivio, the Vessel of Saints + Relic Core Number X...something = Jail's ultimate creation? Oh oh...

Maybe he also told Precia that getting the Jewel Seeds could revive her daughter?
(There's a good chance that they knew each other, maybe worked together.)

Screencaps please

Woot, one of my predictions came true! I knew Ginga would be in a glass jar...

-They look too bloody similar what a scam ...Ginga is almost the exact copy of Quint.Oh well this is an anime >.>

- Zafira's injuries are quite serious. However, Vice is worse... looks like he's off the show.

-It is practical way to remove of all side characters at once ...get rid of every RF06 member except those that appear in the OP due to injuries.

- Regius used to be a very very radical winger. Apparently he was involved in a lot of funding of things, some things unethical, possibly Sentoukijin and Artificial Mage case involvements.

I hope it doesn't go "Regius get a heart attack after viewing Zest pic, out for the rest of the series due to hospitalization"...Kinda loled at that particular part .Must be very horrible experience with Zest till it trigger a heart attack.

- Vivio, the Vessel of Saints + Relic Core Number X...something = Jail's ultimate creation? Oh oh...

That particular Relic is XXX times bigger than regular relic >.> ..Vivio would turn into what? a monster ?

- Chrono LUVs being together with Carim, huh? I thought he was on a MISSION yesterday?

Clearly he is cheating ...see how he is not wearing usual clothing during the meeting, very casual clothes just like at home where as everyone else is wearing official uniforms even the wounded RF06's staffs.

[FlareKnight]

Well it's now out.

Spoiler for Some thoughts:

Probably starting from the end first here. Really can't wait for Jail to get cut apart by Bardiche. Seriously, binding down a young girl to a table (which sounds bad enough on its own) and now he's going to insert Relics into her? Either way all the terrified screaming by Vivio at the end really left a concerned feeling for her safety.

Looks like Chrono is right back with Carim again. The man just can't stay away for one reason or another. Oh well nothing wrong there just his place to hang out I suppose.

Guys took a pretty bad hit this episode for sure. Vice is definitely out, maybe he could get a hospital visit but that's about it. Zafira is pretty badly hurt too. Even if we didn't get to see much he really gave it his all to protect everyone.

Got to see the interesting relationship with Agito and Zest. Didn't know they were that close from the past episodes. But she was really worried about him and considering he was spitting up blood it wasn't a good sign. That move was incredibly dangerous it seems to himself and the opponent. Doubt he'll be able to afford trying that on Signum. Plus interesting how Rigius apparently had a heart attack after seeing Zest on the recording.

Fate does her best to handle everything even comforting Nanoha. Just hope that doesn't turn things into a, "oh nice Nanoha Fate romantic moment" vs. "Fate comforting her distraught friend" kind of thing.

As expected a lot of aftermath. One I saw didn't have a next week preview so not certain what move they are going to make.

[Nightengale]

I'm not so sure though...

Vita said that had it not been for Rein's unison, she probably would've died under Zest's hands. I was like...WTF? He smashed your HAMMER!! Not you! In fact, he didn't even aim at you! @_@

And the after-effect comes late. Approximately an entire day after using it once, though it is a pretty severe blood-cough inducing one.

Well, got us good there... The Ginga-Subaru part that is, who would have figured ?

(Actually I suspected but went "Naaaaahhhhhhh!")

'Rescued'? Is that the right word?

That would explain Alto

Ahhh... Well...

I'm sure it'll all be explained in due time...

A terrified Regius is fine too....

Well, people did chalk him down as expendable.

Sigh... It's always the mother... Even in death, the males are shafted!

Heh, I swear I called it back in episode 13
