The writers overly favors their treasured main characters. But then again, so do some of the fans. Look at a number of people (not from here, go to the blogs), who cried out in protest when Nanoha did what she did.

Also look at it this way:
If they reveal a coupling involving the main characters too soon in, they might lose viewers. You know how it always turns out in shipping wars when one side turns out to be canonically correct. Some people are only watching StrikerS to see if NxF will happen, and of course some might be watching to see if NxY will happen. I think a NxS fan grouping has started as well. So Nanoha is pretty much very important to keeping the series fans happy... XD Just pull a Naruto and have Nanoha get a little with all 3 pairings is what they'll do but never give anything solid...

P.S. On 4chan Ep.8 almost managed to stop the trolling for a while Ep.9 wasn't able to repeat its success though. |

Not that I'm interested in this thread, nor I would ever read through the pages, but here's a news guys.
Official Website has been updated, adding Yuuno for Character Profiles. *Disclaimer: Extensive Engrishness, gramatical error, bad wordings!* Quote:
I wonder if this sentence was really neccessary? I mean, why they wouldn't leave it as whole for fans to guess... maybe they're so eager to keep the milk cow alive. Last edited by Thisguy; 2007-06-03 at 12:34. |

I think it's a way of signifying close relationships. Since I think that line, or something similar, is also used for Fate (Connected at the heart). I think they wanted to assure anyone that Yuuno is still one of Nanoha's friends. xD

Personally, I despised the Shipwar that took place in Ep thread several weeks back, but well... It doesn't hurt to have some room for discussion, ne? |

It's possible, BUT HIGHLY improbable

I think he's mainly just trying to comfort her. I mean, she's been through hell and all with being blasted by Nanoha and all... But I suppose it is a possibility?

In any case, there was the speculation that Vice used to be in the same squad Teana's brother was in. This does somewhat explain why Vice looks over Teana and might also be part of the reason Teana was chosen. |

Possible. And I'm also curious if Vice was a combat mage as well. He DID say that Teana's skill was enough to make him jealous. Could it be a possibility that Teana and Vice already met in the past when she was very young?

Could just be that Vice, who has a pretty limited ability, is a little envious of somebody like Teana, who has a good general ability -and- a lot of potential. I mean, Vice isn't a newbie; he's as good at what he's doing as he's likely to get, and that's all there is to it. Sure, combat pilot is a valuable job, and there's a lot of use for things like courage and a cool head, but at the end of the day, the most he can really do is hold the hats of the people who really go out there and fight (or, in the worst-case scenario, save their bacon.) And even that's of use in a limited number of situations - if they can teleport there directly, or in situations where they run into an enemy by surprise, he's as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
(Then again, we don't KNOW that Vice is a useless git in a fight - for all we know, that angular, blocky, ugly-looking 'copter could be mounting some incredibly badass weaponry, armor like a tank, magic shields, rocket engines, sky's the limit. But probably not, huh?) So sure, it's possible, but you never know. The real trick is the outright shortage of men - the pool of possible guys is limited to Yuuno, Elio, Vice, Hayate's inspector friend, and Zest (and, oh god, Doc Scaglietti). Granted that relationships involving guys in Nanoha are the exception and not the rule. But given that none of those guys is exactly a Lothario, and two of the five are antagonists, and one of the remainder is (a) too young and (b) possibly locked up by Caro at this point anyway... Of course, there's a lot of room for something to come in out of left field. Who knows? Vice could drop by the doctor one time too many and fall for Shamal. Signum and Zest could start something on the battlefield. Doc Scaglietti might run into Vita, discover that she's an eternal lolita, and give up the whole evil thing. Nanoha could enthusiastically hook up her "good friend Yuuno" with Hayate. Still a lot of episodes left, and I'd be shocked if we didn't get at least one "man, who saw that coming?" relationship out of the show. |

Yup. That's what we're hoping for. It's not really like there weren't any. Take Amy-Chrono for example. But the thing that bites here is the fact that they didn't really show enough development between the to qualify as satisfying for most. I'm actually expecting the producers to pull off another surprise in the form of a seemingly-out-of-nowhere romantic relationship since a show like this isn't really complete without that. The most we are given now is the Loli-Shota development.

And if he's related to Teana's onichan, I'm sure he'd be glad to be able to look after her. Now with the ideas from 4koma however...
