Old news to me, but it was actually finished just 4 days ago or so.

[Raiyushi]

Just finished the 2nd season and well. I want my Shana fix so I decided to make an account and keep up with events. Reading all these pages brought me up to speed, however I'm more interested in the details and so I shall obtain novels 1 and 2 and wait for B-T (Who deserve loads of gratitude!).

Chances are though, even after learning the elementary 881 Kanji (University's not teaching the full 1000ish elementary that was brought out after 1981 or what not) I still wouldn't be able to read Shakugan No Shana.

Oh, I'm sorry cnnydz, thank you for clarify

[Isekaijin]

I'm relieved. I would have wrecked havoc if Shana had gone emo.

I'm really grateful for the synopsis of the volume. Jeez, I wonder how JC Staff will animate this.

[ZingFreelancer]

This is going into bad direction.......... *Confused*

When Shana was unconscious, couldn't have SotF Sakai Yuji have made a stop in Vegas to get married to her? I heard about drive-through outlets where the couples don't have to be conscious to get married off.

I've been to Vegas and yes there are wedding outlets like the ones you talk about. Though the people that get married there rarely last a few months or so.

[DeotoxSlayer]

Cool.

I hope someone gives a complete Volume 17 summary soon.

[mars199]

Unfortunately I seems that this wont happen

[charizardpal]

I've been following this thread since it first began. Someone will always summarize the novel, even if it takes a while. By the way, the advertisement for this novel is funny.

Guess people here are reading the new novel... Well, we can wait some more.

Anyways I have a question, an easy one I guess, but it has been bugging me for a while.

Did the Tempa Jyousai scene at the end of the first season of Shakugan no Shana happened in the novels? Saw all the images of the raws but couldn't fix it in.

[OmniDragon]

The end of the first season was anime original so i don't think it was in the novels.

Omni Dragon is correct. The Tenpa Jyousai scene at the end of the first season is indeed anime original. There are, however, instances in the novel in which Shana did indeed use Tenpa Jyousai (not sure about consciously), but the anime scenario doesn't match the novel scenario in this case.

[Isekaijin]

Thanks a lot. It cleared a lot of things.

[typhonsentra]

Spoiler:

Are you talking about Alastor coming out fully into our world? That happened at the end of the first book, they just moved the event in the anime.

[Isekaijin]

Well, nobody posted anything... so...

Would you mind if I asked something again?

What are the volumes 0, 00 and S about? I saw some images but I can't grasp quite well their contents.

Though I saw the Shana and Yoshida version of Cinderella... It was that right?

Thanks.

Been awhile since i posted here. Been to busy with my job for the past 4 month. Anyways here is the first part to my vol17 summary

Spoiler for vol 17 summary:

translation of the colored pages to the best of my abilities.
first set with shana and yuji.


SnH Yuji:"Whats wrong? Shana. you shouldn't be acting like this just because you lost once."
Shana:" Don't talk to me like you know everything about me!!"
2nd set:

Rebecca reid;" yo kid i think its time for you to run back to Margery's"
Keisaku Satou;"Hmm? didn't you tell me to come here?"
Wilhelmina:" Sorry to have kept you waiting-de arimasu." "Onward we go."
3rd set:

SnH yuji: "My priestess, your loyalty to your lord does you much credit."
Hecate:" I don't like it. She is the "Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter". We should kill her and make her disappear."


now the actual summary.
Prologue.
Shana is fighting Yuji and how she is realizing how futile for her to be fighting a true god, much less a god who is Yuji sakai (her everything ). She trires to remind herself her purpose and status as a flame haze and a keeper of balance.
Shana is defeated and as yuji walks towards her, he offers her his hand and as shana is puzzled at the gesture and is at the same time torn between the choice of reaching out and taking his hand or not. as yuji's hand comes closer and closer shana saw nothing but darkness.
Shana then wakes up in a luxurious bedroom. realizing she just had another nightmare again. She has been locked up here for days now. devoid of her powers thanks to a bracelet put on her wrist and striped of her gear(her katana and trenchcoat). And most importantly she is without Alastor. She is alone, as truly alone as she ever had been. She knows that this is no dream, this is as real as they get.

the main story
In China 100 miles west of Shanghai, in a place of serene beauty. An army gathered. An army of Denizens of the Crimson Realm of untold numbers ranging from all sizes and shapes stood with parade like stillness before a lake as their general Sydonay stood and watched the sky. Shortly the ominous shape of their sky fortress arrived. SnH yuji came to greet Sydonay though not before putting on a little show for the troops as he descended from the heavens. Turning the sky's color silver and shrouding the ground in a blanket of dark flame. Sydonay threw his Shintetu Nyoi at Yuji to test him. The spear ended up looking like a sculpture of a twisted snake as it hit the ground seconds later.
Then with Bel-pol and sydonay the group conducted the planning of their next step against the flame haze survivors of China. ( here is a part of the story from vol 16 that i figure i should include here since its rather sad and adds more to the story and the universe of SnS)
In the last volume sydonay lead a blitzkrieg campaign aimed at destabilizing the command structure of the flame haze branch at china. Slaughtering every single flame haze residing in shanghai and also finding and eliminate the strongest flame haze in China, a girl(虞轩 i don't know how to pronounce this) called the 剑花挥舞者(Dancing sword flower) contracted to the crimson lord 帝鸿(one of the ancestral god/goddess for the origins of the Chinese people.) and her human servant. The attack of bal masque came as a surprise the numbers they used in this attack was far too great as numerous as the flame hazes in shanghai they were simply too outnumbered. The old manservant 项辛 advised 虞轩 to escape shanghai and attempt to regroup the rest of the flame hazes under her command .However As the two tried to escape through the underground tunnels of their headquarter building they found their path blocked by collapsed tunnels. With no way out but the way they came from. The old man tells 虞轩 to leave him here and go as he would only burden her, lessening her chance to break through and escape the besieged city. The old man commenting on how he enjoyed and does not regret having spent the last 60 years following 虞轩. A teary eyed 虞轩 remembered their first fateful meeting 60 years ago on the streets of shanghai and the years they shared. 虞轩 turned away not wanting to see the oldman's eyes and knowing whats to come the oldman closed his own eyes and said "don't hold back let them have it." The girl smiled sadly and in a flash spun around ,her holy sword drawn and beheaded the old man in one smooth motion. It was the least she could do , a living servant of the flame hazes would be devoured without mercy by her enemies, much better that he died by her hand instead, and she would join him soon enough-she had no intention of escaping the city, but would rather go down fighting. Breaking to the surface it was not long till she met their match. The girl and her Crimson lord instantly recognized Sydonay and called him 蚩尤 (Chi-you)( Those who knows ancient chinese mythology should recognize the name instantly) An epic battle ensued, at one point 虞轩 envoked the power of her lord and transformed into a goddess, but in the end the battle ended with sydonay killing 虞轩 and commenting on how her death was sad.....but truly beautiful....

Returning to the story at hand. It seems that the remaining flame haze of china have rallied and gathered in an fortified position easily defended. There numbers and those among the survivors pose a threat the future operations of Bal masque .Bel-pol suggest they be taken care of as soon as possible. Several new members of bal masque were introduced at this point . Eventually the scene shifts and its a conversation between Sydonay and Bel-pol and their thoughts on their newly returned lord. The mentioned that they did not foresee their lord returning in such a fashion. while their plans are moving forward but several factors are already changed . neither of them likes the idea of a flame haze aboard. And began to wonder whether Yuji's memory is having too much of an impact on SnH's behaviors. Eventually the two found Hecate on the roof balcony of Sereiden hovering over the railing looking down upon the scenery before her with a smile on her face. Bel-pol commented how in any case their cute Hecate is the only one without any complaint and it has become quite common to see her smile lately.
Just then the group was informed by the professor that phase two preparation has been completed and is awaiting the word to began. Hecate comments that whatever happens from now on and whatever stands in her way and bal masque she would conqueror all. A dark shadow passed over her face(Yandere Hecate? )

the next chapter is pretty much shana sinking deeper and deeper into her emo side. She really can't take being alone too well, all her bad memories coming back to haunt her. Though given her situation i can't blame her . She has a few maid that yuji instructed to tend to her need but she generally ignores them. Yuji eventually came to visit her since he and Alastor are worried that she might hurt herself again. (Though she cut her wrist not out of suicide. She tried to use a a decorative sword hanging on the wall and her own weight to break the bracelet sealing her powers. Needless to say that didn't turn out so well and the timely arrival of her servants saved her life ). Alastor at any rate have decided to stay with yuji a little longer to learn more about his old adversary. The process is completely voluntary as Alastor can return to Shana at any time if he willed it. But it doesn't make shana any happier. Yuji tried to approach shana to see her wound but she resisted and yuji used more strength than he intended to restrain her and realizing he hurt her he let go was quite shocked with him self .
and then a voice outside of the room reminded yuji that he had an honored guest and an old friend/accomplice.
to shana 's surprise it is none other than Rammie the corpse retriever, also know to few as the spiral organ. ( the old dude from season 1 that was devouring all the dying torches).

Back at japan Wilhelmina contemplates the situation. Still trying to guess the true nature of SnH. Wilhelmina is quite saddened and distraught upon learning the list of the dead flame haze from china . (apparently she and 虞轩 and several others were friends but she mentioned 虞轩's name first.) Tiamat comments that the impending battle is unavoidable. Another apocalyptic war between Bal masque and the flame hazes are well on its way just like a eternity ago. She deduce that Yuji took shana away to shield her from the oncoming slaughter and to render one of the few crimson lords thats a threat to him useless for the time being.
Wilhelmina returning home after visting the house of Chigusa. A sad experience since Chigusa no longer have memories of her son yuji nor of shana, yet she still treats Wilhelmina the same way as usual.
Wilhelmina have been organising an operation to rescue shana and have been sending letters to her friends across the globe asking for aid . but most turned her offer down. She is not surprised as she has been staying on the floating island for far too long before this that it created a unfortunate distance with their friendship in that none are willing to offer Wilhelmina assistance especially in a trying time when the bal masque is on the move. And those that are probably willing to offer aid now are dead. Margery is in no better shape, in the greater scheme of things she is as good as dead , a flame haze without a purpose to fight or to live. A husk of her once powerful and confident self. In the end Wilhelmina decided that she has no choice but to attempt the rescue on her own she gets ready to leave her apartment having trouble finding her backpack not realizing its already on her back. Before she leaves she wonders aloud whether Chigusa 's baby is a girl or boy and that she wishes them the best of luck.


Ok that about it from me for now there is alot of stuff left but i need to sleep more be added tommorow......
