Even Tatsuya himself admitted that Lina could've got him. she didn't, but it was a very close fight between 2 people not trying to kill each other...and if you look at it that way, then He hasn't fought a top notch magician who actually was trying to kill him.

Tatsuya was at complete disadvantage against Lina there. Gram Dispersion was useless, her attacks too fast and he needed to stay concentrated so that he could bypass Parade. Even six shots of his Decomposition only made thin holes on her. Makes me wonder why Lina didn't use Parade against Miyuki. She can even maintain it under her ZI...

beam with Gram Demolition, without taking in account how hard it would be to counter Lina's attacks. The parasites were using self acceleration and superpowers in the spoilers. Last edited by LKK; 2014-05-19 at 09:41. |

Parade just alters and disguise the user's Eidos. It does not protect the user from physical attacks. For example, Parade cannot protect the user from the cold air produced by Niflheim.

Which supports the claim "Lina's casting speed is faster than Gram Dispersion" Since he acknowledged the threat of HMB, he would have prevented the magic sequence from completion IF HE COULD. In this case, he didn't decompose magic sequence because decomposing it now would have made thing worse. If he's really faster than Lina, he should have decomposed HMB when the its magic sequence was still in constructing period but the fact that his only option is to decompose its already completed magic sequence or not could be implied that Lina's casting speed has surpassed Tatsuya's Gram Dispersion. P.S. but why we are discussing this? shouldn't this go to Visitor Arc or Character Power threads?

She asked him if he could have not locate her and attack and he responded thay he can't use. AOE magic. Tatsuya didn't even locate her. He used a non magical attack to hit the true body. It was said that her Parade can even stay under Miyuki's ZI. This is another proof that AOE don't necesarily work. True AOE can be good if you attack in an area where the dummy and the true body are located but thz attack power will decide everything. DF is the classic CM, magic attacks work by altery the information body of the target. To prevent it, you use DF and you are safe but it's useless against normal attacks. Tatsuya's magic worked perfectly against Blanche. Against Lina 2 were nullified and 4 stuck to her limbs until they managed to dig microscopic holes. Had it worked perfectly, she would have lost consciousness nonetheless.

OK, I just discovered something awesome.
Sirius is intimately tied to the Shiva mythology. I'm going to look more into this and see what it may have to do with the story, but for now here's what I have: 1) Shiva is the lord of Sirius. 2) The star Sirius is the star of Shiva. 3) The black dog(Sirius) is just a much as symbol of Shiva as the White Bull (Nandi). And accompanies him in his wrathful aspects. There's a little more but I'm having trouble phrasing it right. Anyway, I think it's worth looking into. (Actually, this might partially explain her Kali connection, because Kali is a wrathful aspect of Shakti(Parvati) and the black dog, Sirius, accompanies Shiva only when he's in his destructive mode. |

I think it would be nice to see Tatsuya going to the USNA on a mission to help Lina. It would be refreshing to see Tatsuya infiltrating a foreign nation.

Especially, if his reason for traveling aboard would be something that is going to further mess up the delicate balance that the Mahouka world was in ... before Tatsuya 'accidentally' killed one of the 13 Apostles... |
