Is that...

Spoiler:

Due?!

[aers]

Spoiler for 20:

Yeah, Carim just dropped a limiter release on everyone, and Due just assassinated all of TSAB high council (the brains). She's the chick with blue hair. Nanoha went exceed mode off the bat, too.



Sorry I was too busy going oh damn to screencap her in number uniform.

preview

[Dream_Traveller]

Looks a tad too much like Uno to be Due...

But I could be wrong, of course.

EDIT: Crud, I was proved wrong.

[Thisguy]

Looks like we've finally got all the pieces from Prophecy...
Well, damn, Jail himself being "Codename: Unlimited Desire" was UNexpected

And as the matter of fact, Due was a new character...

Spoiler:

hahaha!!! floating brains!!! and she is keeping them alive because...?

gah nanoha using her special card already...what a spoil sport >.<

oops my mistake XD

Due was mentioned before. We were just waiting for her to show up till now. I think their definition of "new character" was "someone you never saw or heard of before" like the Numbers before episode 10.
No wonder the TSAB has been so lead-footed. Their High Council is (was) brains floating in tanks. How many people in the TSAB knew that?
One other thing, I'm sure those 3 brains had been around for while and had been planing on sticking around even longer. You wouldn't do that if you just planning on being High Councilor or just 8 years or something.

Spoiler for 20:

no, her trump card is blaster mode, which fate talked to her about this episode, like rein in the past one.

[Dark Wing]

So Due was spying on the TSAB the whole time and took out the think tanks too (Well out with the old I say).

Man I can't to see this but I've got to go to work soon!

Well, you're right.
But still, I kind of expected her to be appeared earlier in the series...

Apparently they ARE the person created TSAB, that explains their being old enough to ditch their raw meat.
However, one of them expressed that by now they can't last that much longer.

Anyway, according to Due, Jail is "Orphan of Alhazard" that has knowledge of lost technology and infinite desire within him, and it was High Council that found and raised him.
His production codename was "Unlimited Desire"... now, what was the prophecy?

Anyway... I've never thought I'd hear the name "Alhazard" in StS, and looks like Jail, too, was a created being.

Yes! I was right about him being created artificially though his codename and reasoning was unexpected O.o

"Unlimited desire"Hmmm so does that mean he will always be itching to develop and experiment on something till everything blew up like alhazard

[Nightengale]

Well, Jail being possibly a created being himself wasn't unexpected (( to me at least )), but linked to Al-Hazard!? Now, that's a twist, though I don't know if it's actually going to be a huge plot-device or just something to spazz Fate a little.

Whispered much lol? Though for someone like him, he sure needs a lot of scavenging... @_@

Though Nao...I mean Due was surprising a bit. At least now we get to see the complete triangle of Jail's earliest and arguably most loyal Numbers.

Wasn't that the world who created what's now known as "Lost Logias"?

Yeah, it is also the world that Precia tried to find in S1.

Btw they sort of fixed the "cradle" design ...it look much cooler now xD

Glad I'm not the only one who thought this immediately >_>

[Jimmy C]

Any sign of Due's IS? Is it her assassination tools?

If you think about it, it's highly appropriate. Someone who is "infinite desire", always wanting more than what he has, more than what he can do.

We have no idea what her IS is (( maybe it is, but we're not sure )), but as far as the equipment goes...

Ever watched Mai-Hime?

Just think Nao minus the Child. Right down to the finger claw lick and the sadistic-side.

I'd post a pic if only Shack and Bucket aren't being total asses atm...

Edit : Ah, B's back to me.



And am I the only who thinks that the last NxF scene there made them look like they're 9 again? @_@

[Key Board]

I'm confused about the new ancient Belka emperor ancestry sub plot

furthermore, this episode was not very well directed IMO, because it tried to tell instead of show things

at the very least everything from now on will be non stop action and minimum yapping

I wonder what Fate's limit break mode is like... probably Sonic Mode on crack

anyway, here's how the route split is divided


Cradle: Nanoha, Vita, Hayate and a bunch of aerial mage backups

Scag: Fate, Schach, Verossa

Numbers: Subaru, Teana, Erio, Caro, Signum, Reinforce

just look at her barrier jacket...its beyond redemption

and LOLOL that was what i though of first...duo's weapon is just like nao's XD

Spoiler:

pretty meh ep...but at last we are getting some action ~ jail is as evil looking as ever *muhahahaha!* and ofc we have the floating brains...geez can it be anymore cliched than this? XD

[raidou]

Some Duo's SS ...that scene where she licked the claw is exactly like what Nao did in Mai Hime

Rein and Hayate are in separate groups ... Does it mean Unison with Signum instead?
