Abridged: I know the role of the Forwards and what they represent, but I have issues squaring the above with his attacks against Curren. Either Curren's going to have to show absolutely ridiculous speed some time or other , or Erio is going to have to repeat his performance against another speedster. Either one shouldn't be exactly difficult to illustrate.

And we already talked about vast disparities in character showings before.

Just because you can run really fast doesn't mean you can strike or dodge equally fast.

Vita and Erio were attacking her from two different directions in her blindspot.

Curren was not facing them. One of her hands was occupied with a book rather than a weapon, and she sure didn't use the book. Curren was not in a defensive stance, or prepared to move at all.

She still defeated both of them completely in the split second before they touched her. Using a NON-Device katana.

She doesn't break a sweat. She doesn't take them seriously. To her, that was no more challenging than brushing dandruff off of her shoulders.

And this is when Vita was most likely aiming to KILL HER, with full speed, full force, aimed right where it would hurt the most.


That wasn't planning. That was God Mode.

Looking at the Signum-Cypha fight...
Going bloodlust on the Hucks is sure defeat.
But I was thinking... Could the book has been the one in control was they jumped Curren ?

I`ll give Erio and Vita some slack because of those cannons...
Those things are SO not made for speed in close-range combat and Erio had little experience with it.

As Cypha points out, she's better at killing. Plus Signum suffered down syndrome during her fight with her which explein her retarded descisions.

Doubtful because, unlike Tohma, Curren was in complete control of her own self and even placed her hand near the book as if the book was following her commands.

Those cannons are supposed to be superior to armed devices, that means, superior to Laevatein, yet even with that Curren managed to curbstomp both agressors, while Signum is still able to deal solid damage to Cypha with the outdated belkan sword(even pulling of an "Oh Crap" face out of her). And even with your argument of "not-made-for-speed" Vita is still able to reach close range and connect a direct hit on Curren, too bad for her that the Huck leader is just too badass to be touched by the likes of Vita. Curren promptly proceeds to destroy her weapon as paperslice them.

I hate that smugging bastard but she's so damn badass.

So ? Thoma`s book was taking over when it was sensing treats.
Protecting its driver was its first priority.
Curren is the master of her book, but that doesn`t stop the book from stepping in if there is danger.
Beside, Thoma could talk and cry even when the book was in full control.

Superior ? The manga sure doesn`t do a good job of making me believe that, I`m sorry to say.
Not just with Curren.

[Justin_Brett]

Yeah, but that's all he was doing. Curren was forming complete sentences.

Also stop saying she's badass, Aki. Being more threatening than Cypha doesn't mean anything.

[Akiyoshi]

Yup, there was a big gap between Curren and Tohma's mastery of their respective books during that battle, now that Lily assumed full control over the Silver Cross functions probably tohma will be able to even odds with the unstoppable Huckebein leader.

Yeah, that's one of the most frustrating things about these so-called "upgrades". The old armed device did a better job than most of this new shinny stuff.

[Enternal]

The cannons were suppose to be a way to counteract the Eclipse and it's still in prototype/testing phase so I would not say that it's superior yet. Sadly I don't feel Curren is badass though...

But yes at that point Thoma was not in full control of his body. He was only able to communicate and think and from what I see, it seems that he can't really see either as he only recognized Subaru from her voice. The book was the one that pretty much did everything. It was after Lily reacted that it seems that he now have control over the book when he told it to stop.

[Akiyoshi]

At least Curren is still unbeatable at this point xD

[Zero Hurricane]

Man, after hearing Curren this and Curren that, makes me feel dizzy...

Does this mean Curren's badass and unbeatable status equals her smuggish personality? Speaking of God Mode, whether her ability to truly considered equal as a god, where in a few pages in Chapter 12, well, can you say controversial, she can control a few pages from the Silver Cross just like that?

If I judging the nature and behavior, if I compared with Touhou characters (sorry for out of post, but here's my statement) she is more dangerous than Yuuka Kazami, more trickster and troll than Yukari Yakumo, and she is cloud-cuckoo-land person, but taken to extreme level. More extreme than Yuyuko.

At least that is her ability and character according to my perception.

[Sunder the Gold]

She's fast enough that a warship and a bunch of strong mages can't sense her coming, or else she can teleport at least as well as Deville.

She's fast and strong enough to effortlessly defeat an Ancient Belkan Knight known for her striking power AND a prodigy Artificial mage modern Belkan knight known for his speed, when they had the jump on her, at the same time, instantly, from a completely relaxed position, without even taking them seriously, or even using her real weapon.

She's smart enough to realize how to best defuse the current situation without making it worse for her group.

And we haven't even seen her really TRY yet.

[Justin_Brett]

The sheer power of Reinforce combined with the intelligence of Scaglietti, while being worse than both of them.

[Zero Hurricane]

At least her own ability arguably much closer to god.

Which is the same as admitting that only the combined efforts of TWO Big Bads(well, more like a Big Bad and a Final Boss) are enough to challenge Curren.

[WarpObscura]

Sunder's making fair points, but the rest of y'all just being silly now. It's one thing to have a villain who actually can give our heroes a run for their money, but you're just blowing things out of proportion.

Whether they did or did not radiate magical energy would be irelevant, since they would still bounce back magical energy from a 'magic sonar.' The Hucks would not, they'd just cancel it.

No, they're designed to be different from armed devices. Designed to counter the eclipse specifically. Different =/= superior, especially in the case of devices still being in development.

Shamal tracked down Otto using Klar Wind's sensors.

Which made things even worse as the AEC are supossed to be superior to Armed Devices in combating Eclipse Drivers which is exactly what Curren and Cypha are.

How am I being silly? I just said what she basically is. And she seems to be a few steps above 'give them a run for their money', from what I've seen.

There were villains able to give our heroes a run for their money in the past ...but nothing like Curren and the Huckebein. They not only give the Nanoha team a run for their money, but also surround them in an alley and steal their cellphones, jewels and shoes.
