For those desperate to read it, there's a low-quality version of Vivid ch3 out now. You can barely read the text, assuming you can read Japanese in the first place.
Despite the fanservice in this chapter, there's some info on the "Kings" of Ancient Belka that have appeared thus far. There might even be an explanation of why they're all female too. |

Nifty bits I'm seeing:
Vivio's original's name is Olivier and is also a she. She is referred to as, depending on interpretation, "The Last Saint King of the Cradle" OR "The Saint King of the Final Cradle". Carim calls her a Princess right after that sentence though. Funny that she gets a French-sounding name. With German, French and what I presume to be Scandinavian(Ingvalt?), Belka is now turning into Europe? Ingvalt is a hero of legends. Haha, the SSX track with Otto calling Vivio "Your Majesty" is referred to again. Nice gag, so it's good. The formal names for the triumvirate: Princess Olivier of the Saint Family (probably used the same way as a First Family); Ingvalt, Haoh of Shutura; and Ixvellia, Meioh of Garrea. Haoh and Meioh are designations to the types of kings. Haoh has a very manly connotation that you'll see in Takeda Shingen of Sengoku Basara for example, and Meioh kind of has connections to the underworld and occult(hence the corpses I guess).

Olivier? That's... kinda unique, melike But wait... she's a Princess?
Edit: Given how the Japanese pronounce their ending "er"s (Rider = Raidaa), if you pronounce it that way it sounds like "Olivia"... just a thought

While for English I would totally agree with that, the 'er' part I intended it to sound more French, like how one would say 'patissier'. While spelling it 'ere' like Guinevere would fit the sound, my nitpick sense tells me that would require a sound extension in the Japanese original script, which it doesn't. Hence French was how I judged it to be. |

Wow...this was quite a chapter
Some fanservice, some action, a little plot advancement and a clifhanger! So, Nove will be Ingvalt's first CC victim, heh? Let's hope the fight won't be too one-sided Also, I bet 10 cookies that Nove is going to get at least an arm (or leg) broken in the fight.

Breaking away from Vivid for a moment, new Force material is slowly begining to trickle in at last. A small image on the cover of the upcoming Newtype:
Yee gods, Touma really gives off Chrono vibes here. I wonder if his hair color is different... Also, there will be posters, one of the upcoming movie, and the other... I spy Subaru/Nanoha fanservice there. I am satisfied. :3 |

Also, Touma in that image reminds me of Gatekeeper's Ukiya Shun for some reason... Quote:
