...looks like the Aono-hate suddenly transfers to Nanoha...
*Seriously, I really thought that Nanoha was justified... If she wasn't She would've hit Subaru too. Plus the fact that she turned Raging Heart off, If she really wanted to kill them... Excelion mode was a better choice of maiming weapon. Amuro's proud right now.

Finished watching the raw. Holy. F***. I don't care about the pacing, or the animation, or the art. Right now, I couldn't give a sh**. This beats the everloving sh** out of any episode of Nanoha to date.

Honestly, I hope all the predictions of Satashi will turn true... And by the way, chapter 3 of 6th Division is coming out today, or maybe tomorrow. EDIT: chapter 3 is out! Quote:

@Fuyu's first post in this page: Point. I added this in as well to my previous post.
The fact is such: Subaru and Tia came up with a plan that had been based within the (relative) safety zone that training provides. However, such a plan would have dire consequences should they execute it in real battle (as the duo's eventual sorry condition vaguely shows). Nanoha wants them to know this. That's what the second shot was for. Had those two come across opponents that Nanoha and Fate faced in A's (the Wolkenritter, the Liezes, and ultimately Yami no Sho), would such recklessness help them? They aren't the only ones who can come up with a sneak attack, as Shamal and the Liezes have shown. And YnS pretty much defies every known trick in the book. Could they last long against such foes, with their current mentality? Last edited by Estavali; 2007-05-20 at 22:10. Reason: Ack, people post so fast here... |

It all sounds like a solid understanding. It took a couple hundred posts but we may finally have Nanoha's reasoning down. Probably was to teach a valuable lesson about what can happen if you fight recklessly. Teana gets knocked out, partially due to being unstable and part to teach her what can happen if she losses control in a battle. Subaru gets the painful lesson as well, if you are stupid you may have to watch your friends get hurt or killed. Hopefully they can learn from this and not just be angry about what happened.
Going barehanded was probably to protect Teana from getting really hurt. Raising Heart can get out of hand if one isn't careful. Maybe grabing the blade and getting hurt was meant to shake them up and teach them that if the attack had connected Nanoha really could've been hurt. Yeah the two decided to use a plan that protected them based on the relative safety of the test. But they took actions that went against the rules of that test. If your going to break the rules you should be prepared for leaving the parts that protect you from serious harm. It's probably for the best that they dealt with this. No doubt if they were fighting like this in A's they wouldn't be going to rest off the test, they'd be in a coffin. I'm sure they won't need this, hope that Caro and Erio are going to learn from this. While they aren't taking a test any time soon it's something they should learn. Wouldn't want either of them getting blasted around to prove a point. Nice to see that Fate and Yuuno have a good friendship. Besides I think Yuuno did a good enough job by giving Nanoha her tool of befriending.

I thinjk it just means they're extremely pleased with this ep.
And having seen the actual clip now, I have nothing else to say than what has been covered on Nanoha's motivations (and I find them very good ones), although I think this the the slickest, and the best animated battle in StrikerS since it aired. I had goosebumps as Nanoha went off the deep end in her speech

WHAT CHAPTER 3!? SWEET.
And yeah, my bad. I forgot if there was an 'o' or an 'a'. And pshaw, in Yuuno's dreams something happened in A's... XD But that should be mad in the relationship topic not here. I'll agree though, this episode is by far the best so far. And just from a 4 minute clip! |

Breaking the momentum for a while, it seems funny to me that only a few hours ago, we were all worried about the deadness that this episode may have.
They did a good job not revealing the juicier parts in this episode in last week's preview. (Come to think of it, the title music was more somber than the usual one. A foreshadowing, perhaps?) |

Yeah I never expected to get this charged from Yuuno's appeareance, or that last bit about Dark Nonaha. Looks like they do compensate for dulling things down for some angst. Next weeks gonna be anticipated, and I'm sure both the Legion and 300 are looking forward to it for news of Nanoha's injury. *points to avatar and *

I'm probably doing a Bad Thing by not reading all of the thread before commenting, but it's late and I'm just excited. (And tired.)
So far in my view, the infamous last scene of the episode can have two broad interpretations as follows: Spoiler:
Well, that was a rather depressing rush (contradictory as it may seem). I think I'll go watch some Lucky Star to get my good humour back. |

Well I think dkellis's first theory really examples what everyone was going through when this episode first hit us. Nanoha snapping and really beating Teana beyond what was necessary. We really went through a lot with much hot headed arguing back and forth. It really was helpful when we got a translation from when Nanoha caught the attacks. The second part is a bit closer to what people are thinking. Nanoha was sending a message, a tough one. Fighting like they were in real combat would get you killed. It's sad since we saw through this episode how hard Nanoha was working to train them, but when the test came they through that away and went in foolishly. It was probably a mix of being upset and sad from what they were doing. Those two failed the first test because they were reckless. So Nanoha spends all this time training them and when they get a second chance they show that they learned absolutely nothing except how to bring forth stronger attacks. It'll probably be helpful to read through the thread since a lot of the reasoning has been brought forward. But it is impressive how you came to some of these conclusions just on your own. Have fun getting cheered up via Lucky Star.
