So, we still don't know WHY Quint died, or is it confirmed that she died in the Sentoukijin case?

Regius Regius Regius... Well now, that's one mystery solved. He had an interesting plan too, though anyone could see how many ways it could screw up. Another mystery being the 'Relic weapons'. Zest (I was right about him being dead) had said it all... So much for the threesome eh Erio... Now for the prophecy to take place... P.S - Satisfy now, Adr 00?

Agree entirely with your second paragraph. However, since we hadn't even heard of exactly what his "intent to do good" or even "intent to do evil" is, don't you think Final Judgment is a bit premature? Quote:
We were all probably going straight with the assumption all the way until Ep17's ending which gave us a twist. The ending specifically alerted our consciousness to the possibility of a good (or at least not evil) goal in the Doctor's actions. Given a potential good to come out of the Doctor, the deontologists in this forum concentrated on his current actions, decided ends don't justify means, and decided to continue. It gets to the point where even the "nice" things he does gets solely a negative interpretation - smokescreen and the like. The possibility that he might genuinely have even a few virtues is lost. The consequentialists, however, now had to consider the possibility of a Scarlietti goal that's good enough to actually more or less justify (relatively) what he's currently doing, and are now forced to withhold judgment. I think Nanoha is different because it is so much faster-paced. We see Precia hit Fate. With no attempt to raise our consciousness into any potential benefits in Precia's actions, we see pure black. Then all of a sudden her entire goal is revealed - the pros and cons are weighed instantly (and I think maybe 5 out of 10 million people would think Precia was justified). No middle ground. |

Add-on: Based on Zest's conversation with Uno, it does seems that he may be involved in the Einherjar project. Probably one of the test-subjects, I believe. And it seems to me that whether he used his Full Drive attack or not, he doesn't seem to have much life expectancy to begin with...

Oh well, I have to note that we're still yet to get the full, concrete revealation of Regius being the Client.
Although with his reaction, evidences and Hayate's speculation all leads to that one point, it's MGLN we're talking about... Quote:
Although he got an official explaination of "dead in secret mission, it's classified, you won't know anything", he, and most likely Hayate too, thinks Quint was killed because she learned something she shouldn't. So... No, we still don't know why she died, for sure. |

Right... sounds like another unnecessary subplot.
Who knows? Maybe it'll turn out that Jail has Quint's Relic Core or something obtained from her death, and that Quint was killed by TSAB or someithng for seeing Regius's skeletons in his closet? It'd make a decent excuse if Ginga's to defect to Jail's side without the brainwash possibility crap. Of course, if it comes to that, naturally.

We'we had 3 men do stuff in the first show. And YES, I belive Chrono is strong and should fight more, but they are most likely saving him for the final battle. Woudn't mind seeing Yuuno in action, cause he DOES look pretty cool when he's serios. ALso, his barriers should be among the strongest

You know, I don't get how anyone can pin anything major on Hayate regarding the YnS case. She can't be held responsible for its incarnations prior to herself, her knights were gathering Linker Cores against her orders. Once she gained control of the Book, she cooperated with the TSAB forces to destroy the defense program. I'd say her hands in that case were cleaner than Fate's in the Jewel Seeds case.
Hayate suspects Regius may be Scaglietti's client, but we know something she doesn't, Zest and Lutecia work for the Client, how do they fit into the plan she outlined? It's possible Scaglietti is presently serving several Clients with tasks that fit his own agenda. By this point in the series, he simply has to be the final mastermind. There's no space left for someone with a larger agenda above him. At least, not with any decent amount of development. Spoiler for rant on morality:

From Aurus' version, my guess is that Hayate actually fibbed a little with Chrono's help to take the maximum possible onto herself to protect her knights. The idea that she'd be able to control her knights so please don't execute them will sound a little hollow given the way they were gathering Linker Cores without even her knowledge. It might be better for all involved if she said she gave the order. She's just being "human" rather than almost unrealistically "saintly" that way. It'd sound a lot more plausible to the judge too.

I don't think they would outright lie. That would get them kicked out of the Bureau if the truth was ever discovered. They more likely steered the subsequent inquiry in the direction they wanted, and away from the things they didn't want. Like how they exonerated Fate after the Jewel Seed incident.

Man I have to say, watching the part with Vivio at the end is kinda hard to watch. Either the Numbers lack certain emotions, they don't care at all, or what but. Man that was awful, I know I could never stand listening to Vivio cry and scream like that...

Somehow I think JimmyC has the right idea here. Put some spoiler on Morality so people can just scim over it .
Yeah Regius isn't the type to worry about how things could go wrong. He's got that kind've confidence leaving him to believe he's just that damn smart and able to handle the situation. I'm sure Chrono will make an appearance along the way even if it's just in the final battle. One reason to hang around Carim is to keep reminding people that yes he is still around. Yuuno really should've found a character to latch onto so he wouldn't fade into obscurity. Nice though that they have gotten clearance to just go after Scag rather than just find relics and hope he tries to steal them. Since right now I doubt he's all that concerned. Probably has the XI relic hidden away so Lutecia will be faithful until the end. Now he's got Vivio and even Ginga so he's probably prepared to move his plans forward. Vivio crying was definitely meant to send the viewers a message and it did that. Get everyone pretty much polarized into feeling bad for the girl. While at the same time planning the various scenarios that Jail is going to die. My personal favourite is being run through with Zamber form but that's just me.

>> She can't be held responsible [snip], her knights were gathering Linker Cores against her orders.
Hayate was their General, and ultimately it is the General's responsibility. Neither not knowing nor not being able to stop them is an excuse. She should know, and she should lead. Otherwise, goodbye to kitchen. |
