The basic gist of it.

[Key Board]

the kaijuu battle would have been A LOT better with more shading and less flat colors

Holy... try to deny spying on this one Seven Arcs!

Voltaire is looking better now.

but.... giving fate Sword-Chucks? What's next, Zoidac style two-fisted monkey style attack?

[Dream_Traveller]

Right, I'm just gonna do this for the benefit of some, and possibly to clarify other things.

Numbers status as of now:

Spoiler for Status:

* Uno: Captured by Aucous.

* Due: Presumably dead.

* Tre and Sette: Knocked out.

* Cinque: ??? (Really, I want an answer to this. Where is she?)

* Sein: Knocked out or possibly destroyed by Schach...doubtful about destruction though.

* Otto: Captured by Zafira and Shamal.

* Nove, Uendi and Dido: Held captive by Teana with Dido also getting sniper-owned.

* Ginga: Reversed back to her normal state.

* Quattro: Presumably the only remaining active Number.

Now this leaves two, really. Quattro, who is active, and Cinque, who is...somewhere. She only has two episodes to make any kind of appearance, but there's still hope.

Two funny things, though. How did Aucous find Uno so quickly? His hounds must be efficient guides...and the second was Sette just...well...falling as her weapons were made into scrap metal. Kinda funny, really.

[LoweGear]

So I'm actually watching this NAO..

Spoiler for ?:

So those Stealth Drones date back WAAAAY farther than expected, if Quint and Alpino (?) actually came face to face with them back then

And Cinque appears in the flashback

Hey, that's not important, just look at how big they're!
They're several times taller than buildings around, and both of them can stand on roof of a same building!

I expect DVD will have cabbage-class improvement in this episode...

[krisslanza]

FEITO-CHAN <3
I saw the screencaps on page two and I'm just going: "<3333333333333"

SUCH COOL STUFF I BE SEEING <3

Nanoha's injury = 8 years ago.

The same for this as well. How does it date WAAAY back?

Stalker Quint/Lutecia's mom(Alphino/Alpine?) was lol a little though. Zest likes them motherly, yet young at heart.

[krisslanza]

What is Fate's second barrier jacket called? The Zamber has Riot Zamber but I don't recall hearing the name of her barrier jacket in it's new form...

Clearly they can simply alter their size at will... and for no apparent reason between scenes.

That is pretty damn glaring though it's not even slightly defensible either, you can’t argue they’re just a little smaller or it's perspective or something, they’ve shrunk like at least 10 times within like 5 minutes!

Heheh nah am just commenting on the looks earlier ...no other pic to quote

O.o so they were standing on top of the building on the 2nd SS? I was under the impression that they are flying above the city.

That is messed up then

[Deathkillz]

haha this is great cheese seriously the fight between the giants reminded me of king kong vs godzilla (or as klash puts it the final rematch for utawarerumono )
let see -

Spoiler:

To start off with a bit of background information with a flashback - seems like back when zest was alive he was in a team that included lutecia's mother and subaru/ginga's mother - presumably jail whips out the whole team, turns zest into a zombie and clones a lutecia (apparently subaru's mother wasnt wanted ~ boo hissss T_T)

regis was backstabbed to death by duo which incured zest's wrath...what happened next was too violent to show on TV
back with the fight lutecia and garyuu looses to caro and erio but that doesnt stop her summons from fighting .
Fate chan was under constant pressure as Jail begins to manipulate her mind (bla bla) - caro and erio manages to snap her out of her uneasy state and here we see some epix action...

ZOMG FATE CHAN!!! now this scene is the highlight for the whole series imo she totally kicked ass and while Jail was able to shop her blade (*cough plot hole cough*) she ended up batting him away for a home run...the bastard got just what he deserved

quattro lets her hair down - improvement on her previous look as now she is just oozing with evil vibes :3
vice snipes dido for a headshot (the dude is back! ^__^)

and er...vivio smashes nanoha into the wall but looking at how heavy she is breathing maybe it was quite an even fight, im betting that nanoha will use her trump card come next ep

PS. gief insert song!!

Even if flying they'd be pretty low and should still be the size of several rooftops going by the first picture. This is just a total and nearly criminal lack of care by the animators, but I've seen such things before sadly... (Recalls fighters flying out the GLOWING ENGINE PODS of the Prometheus in SG-1 which would lead one think it's about 5 times the size it's always been shown to be.)

Spoiler:

Apparently Summoned Beasts in Nanohaverse defy gravity just as much as they defy artistic efforts .

Voltaire imho looked more awesome previously, but then again that may be due to the bonfire around him .

Looks like Quattro is not too fazed about the Doc's capture. Either she really does have her own agenda, or she's much more closer to the Doc than I imagine. But that part when she touched herself is somewhat disturbing to me.

If they don't find Cinque before the series end, she might turn up in the next instalment with the next Scaglietti.

What was the Doc saying when he was playing with Fate's mind?

And Riot Zamber = WINZ

[FlareKnight]

Spoiler for Ep Thoughts:

Damn well giving grown Fate Sonic Form was a long time coming but welcome when it arrived. While they might've shirked creativity for Strada's forms this was a pretty good transformation for Bardiche. Just can't beat Fate in terms of speed once she gets going like that. Was hoping we'd get a Doctor impaling but smacking him into a wall was still an enjoyable experience.

Is it me or did Erio really did keep to his word of taking some of Signum's techniques? Sure he called out her lightning flash move when laying the smack down at long last against Garyuu.

Biggest thing really the forward lightnings did this episode was getting Fate's fighting spirit back up and going. They always seem to like messing around with her head in these situations.

And finally Dido gets her owning from the male characters . But seriously she smacked down Zafira, then Erio, so Vice is the one who has to avenge them in sniping her out of nowhere when she was trying yet another sneak attack. Was expected Vice would save her and it certainly wasn't a bad thing.

[octoberasian]

This episode deserves a 9 at least:

Spoiler:

- Caro versus Lutecia battle of the giant summons was pretty cool

... reminded me of Utawarerumono's mech battle, but didn't match...

- Fate's new Barrier Jacket with dual-Zambers (Riot Zamber). Now, that was awesome!

- Vice is back and as a SNIPER! *BOOM HEADSHOT* (Had to say it.)
Dido just got up and *bam* down she went. Don't think she's getting up anymore

- Vivio versus Nanoha... can't wait to see her trump card here.

I think the last fights are Quattro-Nanoha-Vivio or Nanoha-Vivio or Nanoha-Quattro. Maybe Hayate and Fate will come in assist, but that's what I'm thinking it will break down to.


Unless there's a surprise here that they're probably going to reveal to us soon-ish.

Lutecia is not a clone. Megane Alpine (( Lutecia's mom )) really had a daughter, that was taken in to be an Artificial Mage test subject by TSA High Council/Jail.

Most likely she's a single mother.

[FlareKnight]

Spoiler for Preview:

At any rate I'm getting more worried about Vita now. She really looks like hell in that preview. It is Vita so she'll probably find a way to manage somehow. Though we did get to see that kind of group take down Subaru/Ginga and Lutecia's mothers. With a lot of the other fights being finished might not be a bad idea to get her some help asap. Only so much she can do with being low on cartridges and that injured.

That, or Alpine was a divorcee (like Precia), or her husband was KIA (like Lindy).
