Spoiler for novel:

-near the end of volume 14. (which is far as the novels are at this point into the shana story, till volume 16 is out that is) Shana and Yoshida both send him cards that they want to spend Christmas with him, so he goes to choose one of them. and apparently on his way to where they're waiting there's a voice in his head? at which point the snake completely takes over and heads for Seireiden, and Shana and Yoshida are left there waiting for Yuji, who isn't coming now.

-The snake isn't imprisoned inside the Reiji Maigo, the snake was/possibly still is imprisoned in some sort of area outside of reality, sealed there by various crimson lords. the Reiji Maigo is a way for the snake to escape from there (the explanation isn't quite like this, but a simple way to think of it is that the Reiji Maigo breaks certain basic laws of the Shana universe, making it a good method to break other 'absolutes' like eternal imprisonment.

-I'm also a little confused about this whole silver thing, since from what I read it sounded like the Snake/Yuji having a silver shadow was more a byproduct of the black flame, and that Silver might just have had that color flame because he had been in possession of that Bal Masque Hougu (tyrant was it?). well anyway, parts of silver were apparently inside the Reiji Maigo, I suppose as a byproduct of using the unrestricted method needed for the eventual revival of the snake.

-didn't seem to be any particular reason why Yuji ended up with the Reiji Maigo, nor was he the first after Johann's "death"

same caveat as last time, please correct my possible errors more knowledgeable people.

Spoiler for 15:

well, it happens in 1901, and in Hawaii if I'm not mistaken. protagonists and main antagonist aren't involved in the current events...so nothing much really, least for now. but lets see....

-Pheles and Johann make an appearance.
-Dantalion (aka crazy professor) makes an appearance, and apparently had made a reference back to Sarre, a male protagonist in this one, in volume 7 (and might I add that Sarre is the spitting image of Vann from GxS)
-Epilogue of 15 has Shana and Yoshida still looking for Yuji.
-I seem to recall something along the lines of "a character introduced in 15 will be important later." Maybe Sarre, seeing as how he's apparently been planned for awhile (vol 7)

hmmm

Spoiler for Possible Anime Season 2 Ending Novel Adaptation:

I can imagine them doing the ending scene to season 2 of shana with Yuji standing up from the throne of bal masque with everyone else in bal masque kneeling towards him. This way they can milk more money from season 3

Spoiler:

I sure hope not. If the novel's going to end anytime soon, I think they should wrap it up this season. I'm a big fan, but that doesn't meant that I want it to drag on needlessly.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

Since Shakugan no Shana got its own subforum, it was really the case to separate manga discussion and novels discussion.

A Manga only discussion thread has been created, so from now please move there every ongoing discussion you had about the manga. Of course, you're free to copy your posts in the new place if you wish.

Please use this thread for novels only discussion from now on.

Thanks

Does anyone have both the English and Japanese novels?

If so, how are the translations?

I really only bothered to wonder this after I realized that the English novels don't have I, II, III, etc...

[hayate-sama]

i have a question here, what exactly Nietono no Shana 's power is ? in the anime it is just a sword and in the moive i saw a glass can cut a tomogara so why did shana use Nietono no Shana instead of bloodsuker ?

could anybody upload an imagie of yuji with bloodsucker thanh a lot ? (i like that sword a lot)

BTW poor ike, well at least yukari will be together with him (but not sure where and when)

[Kyuusaisha]

Ok, So I got the second volume translated by Viz two days ago. I haven't been able to read very much yet but one thing that kinda annoys me is that they chose to translated killing intent to kill. Shana said to Yuji while "training". "The important thing is. You need to feel the kill." Sounds very bad in my opinion and I think we have the right to complain since they take about half a year to translate. True I'm grateful that they even bother translating but couldn't they do a QC

*you should put this bit in spoiler tags*

Nietono no Shana ignores the effects of all unrestricted methods.

Blutsauger makes people touching the blade (either directly or through a proxy) bleed when the owner places power of existance into it. the more existance, the greater the effect.

besides the fact it's first and foremost a design choice, I think it's fairly obvious why a flame haze would prefer Shana over Blutsauger.

[Angrypokstick]

Yeah, I would pick a katana over a broadsword/claymore anyday.

[hayate-sama]

Spoiler for yuji:

so the more existance, the greater the affect so how many blood shall bleed if yuji place all of his power of existance into it at midnight ? in ep 2 of the anime, they said the amount yuji have is as much as a king of guze

So far, the anime did not show out the ability of Nietono no Shana, right? How useful is this ability?

[Raykun]

well got a question

How did yuji get bloodsucker?

Hey there's something that's been bothering me since some time ago

Spoiler for Yuuji and Wilhelmina (Possible Heavy Spoiler, don't read if you don't want to be spoiled):

Some guys are saying in some webs that Yuuji KILLS Wilhelmina!? Is that true?

no, Yuji didn't kill Wilhelmina. she's alive as of volume 14.

I'm guessing this has something to do with volume 9 -_-

Spoiler for volume 9:

this image, right? yes, Yuji hits Wilhelmina with Blutsauger. but no, Wilhelmina isn't killed.

Wilhelmina was trying to kill Yuji at the time.

But Wilhelmina ends up trying to kill yuji and giving up under a different set of events in the anime of course, so don't count on seeing it.
