Here in Nanoverse, magic can be dealt magically. You can turn a car into burnt scrap metal, you can control the weather, but if you so desire, you won't be able to deal fatal physical damage.

Runessa herself was a child soldier, so the wars there get pretty bad. Quote:
What we do know is that Ixpellia is the source of it all in more ways than one. Ixpellia produces control cores for the Mariages within her body, which would mean that your first guess of it being some form of viral nanotech is fairly accurate. They're like a combination of the Borg, zombies and the second Terminator. They can 'assimilate' corpses and turn them into one of their own, and have the ability to liquefy and shape their bodies into weapons. A viral or parasitic source causing this mutation sounds the most likely. They also self-destruct when immobilized, so capturing one would be rather difficult. |

And weren't all captains and vice-captains limited down to AA rank? |

Captains were two ranks down. Vita is a AAA+ rank, two ranks down makes her an A+ rank. And while Zest may have been a dieing man, that does not mean he suddenly was not an S-rank opponent. His pains only set in after he wrecks his body using Full Drive.
So let's assume Vita had her limiter on. Now we have a veteran S+ rank fighter with a Unison Device that, while not perfect, certainly helps his fighting ability. On the other hand we have a veteran fighter limited to A+ rank with a Unison Device capable of a higher Unison. While her Unison is better I sincerely doubt that makes up for the 3 levels of difference in power. I mean, even if she wasn't limited the only advantage she had over Zest was her better Unison. Zest outstrips her in power, and even though his Unison was not as good as hers it's still a Unison. If Vita was limited, that'd also give her the disadvantage of going against an S+ rank opponent with only A+ rank powers. Much as I love our hammer loli, I doubt she would have lasted long against him. |

In episode 4 Nanoha said "and the captains, for the most part, are two ranks down". Moment later she say she's 2.5 ranks down. That's why I always thought that while Fate and Nanoha are 2.5 ranks down Signum is limited by 2 and Vita by 1.5 ranks, making them all AA. And I don't really think AAA+ mage limited to AA is at the same level as normal AA mage. Even putting experience and such aside, I always thought that limiters reduce their maximal output but don't affect mana pool, stamina, etc.
Also while Zest's magical power was S level his body was failing apart, that's why I believe he was holding back for his sake and also for Agito (she was paranoid about his health after all). If we assume he was fighting on AAA level and Vita was AA with a better unison, it makes perfect sense. Then when Agito's life was on the line he boosted to his prime to save her. Also his last attack was without unison, against unisoned Vita. In the manga it was said that all the captains and vice-captains are close enought in power to defeat each other. That's why I just can't believe Zest could defeat full powered Vita so easily. Especially since he was killed by Cinque when he was in his prime. But anyways my original question was if there is any official info on this matter. If there is none it's all up to personnal opinion. |

His last attack was done with his suicidal Full Drive, which basically throws down a crapload of energy in one go for one big attack. I can't remember the exact details, but it basically screws up his body in return for an überboost.
Anyway, I can't recall any official 'yes their limiters were released' but it might have been mentioned in one of the untranslated Sound Stages. Anyone else have an answer to this one? |

About Zafira...why didn't he change to his human form during the event in StrikerS where they were under attack by a small yet powerful squad of cyborgs? If he changed into his human form is there any difference?

He was suffering from Shaftinitus. It prevents him from getting into the thick of action.
Jokes aside, there were so many characters in StrikerS that the writing team chose to concentrate on them and left Zaffy in the Recycled Bin. After all, people would rather oogle at Teana's zettai ryouiki than Zaffy's GAR muscly form.

The only real and logical answer I can find for this detail is one of the things that piss me off more of StrikerS, the producers were either lazy to draw Zaphira's human form or they simply ignore him to give more importance to the stupid forwards (and this is bad because Zaphira is far more cool than the forwards) , that way the coll and bad-ass werewolf from A's just take the roll of a nanny here. -_- Damn you 7arcs.
