Good old fistcuffs? ...DO WANT! xD

hat reminds me ...there will be a December chapter? usually mangas take a rest during xmas xDU.

Oh, you can gloat and be cool, it's just that most of Cypha's boasting is pretentious drivel. Kinda like Aizen, to use another Bleach character.

[Akiyoshi]

Yup, there's a few good examples out there, that's why i like comparing cypha to Envy from Fullmetal Alchemist, he/she's a dastardly dick killing and gloating all around and telling the heroes how pathetic they are. I used to hate him/her with a burning passion for killing ****s(you should know this already xDU) but he/she is so evily funny that i ended up hating him/her in an enterteining manner(in a "it's fun to hate Envy" kind of way). As for now, Cypha lacks that "charisma", only time can tell if she have what needs to become a memorable or at least an entertaining villain(a bit difficult for the moment because Arnage is stealing the show xD).

Well, so far Cypha has backed up her boasting by taking out Signum. Envy never really had such an accomplishment, as the person he killed wasn't much of a combatant.

Still Envy trashes around the Elric brothers almost on a constant basis until Mustang say hello xD. Still, i will take said backing up seriously when she beats someone able to actually fight back. (in that sense Signum is on the same situation of the guy Envy kills "taking a knife to a gunfight", the guy isn't an alchemist but he was a badass knife nut able to "kill" Lust and Gluttony in the blink of an eye, sadly his talents do nothing against a bullet, just like magic do nothing against full powered anti-magic).

...

I would make the hypothesis that the "Thomanator Vision" is linked to the infection, as Thomas still havent kill anything his infection has rised trough the point he's nearly in berserk mode, since the Huckies are killing things regulary they dont suffer that much (that could also explain the you took so long that it forced me to kill the nuns line).


On another subject i wish i could draw, Setsuna from Gundam 00 would be all over Nanoha after seeing her in Forteress mode

[Akiyoshi]

It will be cool if we discover that Veyron is the leader of his own gang of dropouts, having a bunch of unique and loyal memebrs xD

I can see that happen, yes. Though doing so would increase the irrational hatred against Thoma to gargantuan proportions.

I think that's one of the things they can cure. After all, they still have to kill people to survive.

In TSAB space, yes. But to quote Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy "Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."

And with Stella confirming they haven't been doing much in TSAB space as of late, that means they've pretty much been outside of it. And since they don't care one bit about anyone not themselves, they haven't been keeping tabs on the TSAB's latest idols and heroines.

[00-Raiser]

Like I said, they did know about them.

Chapter 5, page 13:

Fortis: Seems like it's a reconstruction of the team that defeated the Cradle six years ago.

Nothing about vivid episode 18?

Nope, but the chinese scans of ViVid 19 are finally out if that serves.

Thanks. I'll take a look then.

Picked it up before I dropped by.
Ha ha "Close/Contact Mode" What a name! I wonder if it's a new feature developed from Unison Device research. That neatly answers how Cris is supposed to be used in fights.
Astion, Einhart's new Device, is nice, but Cris is still the cutest.
If you can get this chapter, you can compare Einhart's adjusted Barrier Jacket with her original in chapter 7. The new one is softer with less sharp edges and uses a ribbon to tie her hair.

Well each one have teir tastes i guess, Kris is obligatory cute but i find Tio more endearing(i always liked better cute-yet-rude things than simple cute ones xDU).

As for Einhart's new armor design is quite the opposite, i liked the old one better, she suffer the "good costume switch" syndrome, and indeed have less sharper edges, less pronounced shoulder parts along with more ribbons and a more "girlier" skirt compared with the "office" like one she have at the beginning(i'm the only one who thinks that the obligatory costume change to demonstrate that a villain turned good is also responsible for ruining a very cool villain costume the majority of the time?).

Porno binds confirmed canon. What's next, the technique coming from Chrono-

Cute chapter is cute.

I nearly had to get insulin when I saw Rein, Agito and Hayate all smiling happily in the same frame.

HNNNNNGH!

ANY Rein/Agito pic is enough to induce Moe Overload.

Random question from someone who has been out of the Nanoha manga loop for a long, long while: how much catching up would I need to do to understand current events in Vivid and Force? The last I read in either one was when Touma met up with Subaru carrying Lily and Isis (if I remember right) and the girls getting ready for the tournament arc in... chapter 16, I think. I'll have free time once my finals are complete, so I'm figuring it's about time I started following the manga again.

Sounds like you're only one or two chapters behind in both of them, actually. Shouldn't take long to catch up at all.
