Oh and love, courage and hope are failed because they're played very dully on purpouse. Said elements never got trouble mixing with skill, strategies and cunningness before. Tsuzuki make the A's cast stupid in order to let the Hucks shine. Which is a shame because this is bad for the Hucks themselves, fortunately some of them are started to show to be really able to top some of the old cast at their own game without being total dicks about it(Deville *0* ...and possibly Karen). They look like a much more legitimate threat now. To me FORCE is trying to deconstruct the entire series, or at least from A's onwards(the key word is "trying" xDU). EDIT: Page claimed for love, courage and HOPE!

Sometimes you have no choice, and in this instance, Touma was judged to be a significant threat (he did just one-shot practically everyone), and no one else was ready. Nanoha had to go now, and everyone else would catch up when they could (Subaru and Fate, presumably, are going to show up). Quote:

- Vita's super regeneration was still in play with considerable force at the time. Signum is the clear example that said healing factor has nearly stopped to work(otherwise Signum should be able to stand up depite the impalement and also Vita herself seems unable to repeat the same feat after being taken down by Karen). - Nanoha was critically injuried IN A FLASHBACK with more than enough time to rest and recover before the main event, Hayate and Signum(and possibly Vita adn Erio) were slashed right at the moment and didn't count with said conveniently large time gap to restore. Similar? Yes. The same? Damn No.

Do you remember that series of Bleach chapters where Aizen was soloing all the Soul Society captains? Were people afraid of him then? No: he was the same meme joke he'd been for a while. As for tactics, well, if they were all smart like that, the Hucks might, I dunno, lose. Can't have that. |

And one thing to keep in mind about Signum and Vita, who are both magical programs; Vita was stabbed a plain old dagger object. Signum was stabbed by someone who is anti-magic in human form, with an anti-magic blade. Yeah, common sense tells me Signum would come off worse for the wear. And also that she might be a bit more human at this point. Quote:

Villains need to continually be a threat. You can't just establish them as threatening in act 1, and then have the heroes overpower them in act 2, but somehow the villains are still around. If the Hucks were taken down in the last few chapters, everyone here would be laughing at how they built up these bad guys, only to easily knock them down. "Well, that was... stupid. They built up these bad guys as unstoppable, only for Section six to take them down like drones." |

How are they supposed to show all this stuff you want them to show in a monthly manga that barely gets 32 pages, and half the time gets 16 page half-chapters?
For that matter I don't know how they're doing anything at all in such a limited format. |

On the off-chance that DeVille skipped her and went straight to 'rescue' Touma? Even better! Touma is currently attacking everyone, so let the two duke it out while she waits for Fate; they'll only need to handle whoever survived the exchange (which btw was Chrono's plan during TOS... I can understand child Nanoha refusing to use this, but Ace-of-Aces Nanoha? Honor is Signum's shtick, not hers) Quote:

Oh yeah, they really hate that Yagami family. That must be why they're getting another magazine image... Oh wai~
So yeah, looks like some good stuff. Yagami-ke in the bath, Isis and Lily in the bath, Nanoha and Fate in the bath with Hayate and Rein in there too. Oh, and Cypha showing off the goods on her motorcycle.

I mean, how much more do you want? As aers pointed out, they don't exactly have all the time in the world to show several chapters worth of the Hucks wailing on the TSAB. It would get old real fast. Quote:
So, we had 2 choices: #1. Nanoha is the only one ready, and we want to save/stop Touma as soon as possible. So head on out and stop him if you can, but be prepared to abandon the idea if it looks unfeasible, possibly due to a Huck coming after you. #2. Sit back and do nothing, and most likely lose Touma to either the Hucks, or have him do something potentially more dangerous (such as another soul shout). Quote:
In fact, I bet you'd rightly call BS if Nanoha said something like, "Hmm, I could save Touma, but I won't. Too risky. I'll just let the bloodthirsty killers handle him." Quote:

The only two times that came to my mind are when she fight Vita for the first time in A's and also during her first battle with Fate in The MOVIE 1st, and ends curbstomped both tim- ....wait, oh no, i hope that i'm not to be right this time o_O! To me those feels more like apologizes or eye candy to make us forget of what's happening, if i remeber correctly Signum's "Summer Hot" picture came out right after she's showed to be alive in FORCE, like saying "Well, Signum's out of comission but hey! look at this! it's a new poster! an she's still hot!". Great, the Yagami family is getting choped but at least we have posters, whoop-dee-doo!

The sad part is that FORCE is currently doing exactly that xDU. But if things are like you two say, this is probably the Blackest Night watitng for the Brightest Day to come. C'mon Tsuzuki you still have time to perform a Book Ex Machina for the Wolkenritter xD.

@aers: It's not just the art style... she's wearing a pink outfit with pink hair, and he's got a white overcoat hiding a red inner coat. If his hair was red, I bet no one here would think they were anyone but Erio and Caro without a second, closer glance. Hell, it was only "Erio's" hair color that made me take a second look, wondering if someone got the color wrong.
Quote:
I'd really argue again: If Nanoha gave up on saving Touma, she wouldn't be the Nanoha we know. And we'd get all sorts of people calling BS on it. She's not overconfident, but taking the same chance she always does, because it's the right thing to do. |

And I didn't mean to compare the two series, just the situation: the author playing up a villain, or group of villains, as really tough or badass when a lot of people don't really see it. I'm also not saying they need to lose here (even if I'd enjoy it), but you need to provide SOME glimmer of hope for the heroes to win, or that's bad writing too. The AEC equipment was supposed to be that, but apparently not now. |

No one is talking about on giving up on Tohma, we're only talking about how Nanoha acted a bit prideful here. Seh has better choices to ease things a little and get more efficient results but she behaves like if her team have the high ground when the reality is that the Huckebein is plmmering them to the ground one by one. Fortunately Deville's intervention will most likely make her to put her feets on the ground(...methaporically speaking of course xDU) and be again the brave AND smart Nanoha we know and love. I have a bad feeling on this fight because like i posted before, the only two times in the past she started a fight with that attitude she ended up with her ass handed to her.
