Wow, thanks! That stuff goes straight into the wiki.

Yes, that question interests me, too. ^^

After all, I want to ask something. Actually, what the Bureau purpose of prohibiting the manufacture of Artificial Mage?

Other than obvious ethical complications regarding human cloning? I don't think the Mid has gotten any further towards a unified stance on cloning than we puny Earthlings did. ^^;

Well, the Bureau also prohibits creation of combat cyborgs on the grounds of extensive genetic manipulation needed for that. We haven't seen any serious inborn defects in any currently known cyborgs, but then again, Scaglietti was a genius and even he admired whoever created the Type Zeros.

Like mother, like daughter, it seems.

EDIT: Page claim for sexy mothers and their cheerful daughters!

[Rising Dragon]

Megane still dresses more sensibly than Lutecia, if her daughter's latest Barrier Jacket is any indication...

Yes, we've seen a short moment of their jackets during a flashback in StrikerS.

It's more that the genetic manipulation needs to be done at a very early stage, so doing this means that you want a child to be a cyborg before its even born. It's a child supersoldier program, with all ethical bells and whistles included.

Don't forget ViViD. This is also when they were young and became a participant in the Inter Middle Championship.

Ack, sorry for not narrowing it down... The question I was interested in was this:

But I think they wear the same Barrier Jacket.

[WarpObscura]

Long story short, we have no official answers for why Jail didn't keep Quint's body or Device?

[Rising Dragon]

The guy's a madman, maybe he didn't have a reason in the first place.

[Zero Hurricane]

Well, probably he may treat his research objects like junk.

Nope.

Actually, he's always been very respectful in that regard.

[Zero Hurricane]

No matter the any honorable way he treats his victims, for me playing the one's innocent life cannot longer be forgiven.

I don't know, someone posted it and I saved it. It's years old. The background seems to have arrows on it so I think they came from a relationship chart.

Really? I would have thought it was because people to start going around making their own personal armies?...

Clone Wars 2.0 would probably be an argument against cloning, too. Though I don't think an army of clones would be a feasible economical notion...

[Akiyoshi]

Silly question:

Has Subaru and Signum ever directly talked to each other in canon xD?

[fullrefund]

I know that questions might seem weird but it seem pretty much impossible to find answers otherwise for me.

I am not sure if it's the right place to ask but i have but i have heard a while ago about Triangle heart that was the parent serie of Nanohaverse. I have watched the anime but found little answer. I am considering Kuon as a familiar but i have so many questions.

All i could find was on wikipedia: "Kuon is Nami's pet fox, who has an affinity for Nanoha as well. However, she is actually a kitsune and transforms into a foxgirl. Kuon has lived for centuries and once flew into a rage after her human lover was killed. She was cursed to live forever, but was sealed into the form of a helpless young fox until the Kanzaki family could become powerful enough to either save or destroy her. Kuon eventually learns to love humans again."

What is her big character trait? Is she patient? short fuse? Does she like to play tricks? What kind of food she like? What get on her nerves? What differentiate her from other character (beside being a fox). You know, little details that help dicern what she would do in x situation.

Being a supernatural creature make me question her abilities. How strong is she(cursed and curse broken)? Can she lift a car? A tank? A mountain? How fast is she? Can she do magic in general? If yes to magic, what can she do with it? Does the cursed to live forever mean invincible(regeneration) or simply in the sens that she doesn't age?

Does she have any enemies in her original setting?

[Zero Hurricane]

Actually I am curious about the Eclipse's nature, does it have similarities with drugs? Both have similarities: if once affected, it will not get out again. And if the lust to kill hold forcefully, then they will be a pile of meat. Just like drugs, if users do not consume such pills of ecstasy, then users will die.

Hhhmmm... i previously compared Eclipse with socially conflictive diseases like cancer and aids but i think i like yhour compàrission better. Indeed, the Eclipse virus presents some similarities akin to drugs and the eclipse infected behave much like adicts. Apparently the Hucks are not content with a cure because they don't want to lose the benefits of the infection, in fact, they only want to find a way to avoid the death consequences and keep feeling good.

The only time that springs to mind immediately is episode 8 (I think), when Shari and the Wolkies show the Forwards the video of Nanoha's epic fail. :3

I think it's much simpler than that. The Hucks were probably envisioned as a science-fiction-ey version of vampires, superpowered, badass, and sexy. Vampires actually combine both the viral nature and the drug addiction symbolism, so there you have it.

[Zero Hurricane]

Well, talking about don't lose the benefits, I also thinking because the effects of Eclipse, people who suffer from this virus will become addicted. According to English Nanoha Wiki that I read, the behavior of someone who has been affected by Eclipse will become irritable and spiteful, right? But in my opinion, Thoma, although affected by the Eclipse, I don't see any signs of hatred of him, instead I saw the expression on his face that seemed to be controlled by Eclipse. Sad and suffering. Just look at his eyes.

In the case of Huckebein, although their infection has stabilized, but I find there is another effect that is more than just irritable and spiteful. Instead they sharpen their spiteful nature becomes an egomaniac, asocial, arrogant, stubborn, likes to laugh and spit on unlucky people, and even feasting on the greatness of them without realizing that they have hurt people who actually don't hurt and antagonize them. I know that they feel the pain so deep and they're also part of society, but they seemed to be too humble themselves. They are free to beating people, but they seemed unaware that they experienced the influence of Eclipse makes them fall into the bottomless abyss of darkness. They think that killing can solve the problem, even the Bureau supposing find a cure for them. Arguably my opinion of Huckies is more than just family, but families with the soul of dirty coward.

Sorry for what I said. The question is: if the opinions that I said is true, is that mean the Eclipse can affect the soul, mental, and the mind of one person becomes wild and uncontrollable? And what that does for a social life?
