[Nagumo]

Thunder Rage (2)

[An extremely powerful spell that is unleashed after casting a Lock On Bind] it is an especially accurate spell. When the attacker and defender are exchanging in close combat, attacker’s target will instantly lose all its strength if the spell successful. (bad translation)

[Nagumo]

Dimensional Fault/Dislocation

The disintegration of a space, in particular, a notably sudden/precipitous disintegration is known as a [Dimensional Avalanche] which is a large disaster/calamity.
Everything within the area of the disintegrating space begins [falling] and crumbling apart/collapse.
It’s is extremely difficult to predict/estimate how long the dislocation will continue (alt trans: How far the dislocation will go), but it is possible that multiple/several worlds can fall victim/become affected by the large scale disaster/calamity, it is a dangerous phenomenon.

Where was this skill used?

It's from the DVD Movie 1st booklet... so I'm assuming it was used during the movie.

Of course, I personally can't remember if Fate actually used this spell

[Nanya01]

Didn't Fate use that spell in S1 against Nanoha and against the giant robot that was going to cleave Nanoha in half?

Edit: Yep.

Thunder Rage and Divine Buster

[Kaijo]

Fate used it over the ocean, and she used it again when she appeared in the Garden of Time and blasted the robot that got loose from Yuuno.

Erio also used it against Wendi and about 4 or five drones at the same time. =)

[Nagumo]

Thunder Smasher & Divine Buster
Though the nature/property of the bombardment magic differs, both are overwhelming attack/shooting magic meant (alt trans: with a high chance of penetrating) penetrate the target’s powerful defensive barrier shield.
When the two first fired their attacks together, their bombardment attack on the robot/puppet weapons/soldiers were utterly in tune/perfect/in sync with the other.

[Nagumo]

Recovery
It possible for a technician to repair damage done to a device by providing mana to it.
Linis/Linith, who designed Bardiche exclusively for Fate, made sure that should anything happen, it would be able to continue protecting its Master Fate. Thus it was built with strong/durable/reinforced frame/body and a highly mana efficient Recovery feature/function.
It would allow Fate to advance forward straight on the path she must take.
Thus bearing the hopes/wishes of its creator/designer, the axe of brilliant light answers/grants those feelings/emotions and wishes tasked to it no matter what (alt trans: in the face of adversity)

Finally finished translating the entries at long last.

Spoiler for dictionary terms:

Stinger Blade

A spell that create many magical blades, the spell can be shot/discharged to destroy multiple targets.
It also possible to have each individual blade target a different, unique target.
It is difficult to defend efficiently against this attack of magical blades due to its target control, and is an extremely effective mass group/anti personnel attack.

Alicia/Alyssia Testarossa
It is impossible to resurrect the dead, even with Project FATE.
However, through Precia’s effort she has birthed Fate from Alicia’s cells/DNA, she is without a doubt, a completely new/independent life/person and is arguably Alicia’s [little sister].
If Alicia survived/continued to live, Fate would never had been born.
With her Mother and older sister now dead/gone, Fate is left by herself in this world. And so she faces a long future where she must reflect/think upon her mother, older sister, and what to do with her life without them.

Farewell/Parting
The two girls, who met, fought, misunderstood each other utterly, and finally come to an understanding.
The girl who reached out with her hand and feelings, and the girl who reached out to take/accept it.
They exchange ribbons to remember each other by as the two share tears and smiles as they bid each other farewell.
(Trans note: Being a little poetical here. But I think it captures the mood best)

Just wondering...

...if The MOVIE 1st is really an in-universe production then who are the cast who play as the characters of the 1st season? surely they really are similar to Nanoha and Co. and the actress praising the role of Precia deserves the mid-childan equivalent of an Oscar xD!

-Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha the MOVIE 1st-
Starring:
Miriel Sabatti as Nanoha Takamachi and Corolla Mazda as Fate Testarossa
-the magic begins on 21.1.0095 on your favourite mid-childan theaters-

Or you can think of it as an in-universe anime created to represent the looks of the actual cast.

Anime inside anime are fairly common, heh.

[Archon_Wing]

It's obviously animated in-universe. Yes, 2-d characters in a 2-d world. And they'd be voiced by famous voice actors.

The TSAB will use it as a propaganda film.

[Kaijo]

No, it's not animated in-universe, heh. The whole thing that led to this believe was the movie sound stages, but those same sound stages also break the fourth wall. The were just the actors pretending to be the characters as a way to promote the movie to us.

You can think of it as in-universe if you want, but it's not canon.

[Archon_Wing]

Yea, it's not canon, though it's just kinda funny thinking about how such a movie would work in that universe.

Media Executive: Alright, we have Nanoha's recent book about her beginnings as a mage that got published. We need to make a movie to cash on it! We also have some old footage left from the Asura, but it's your job to spice it up!

Director: We'll speed it up and make the explosions larger with better special effects!

Writer: You know, her memoirs mention Fate even more than it does about herself. Shouldn't we interview Nanoha, Yuuno, or her family about her early life?

Executive: Are you crazy? That'd cost too much time and money! Nanoha isn't available til July. It'd cost too much to go to Earth. And who the hell is Yuno? You turn in a script in a week or else! Besides, Fate brings in the cash anyways. We'll plaster posters of them all around the place.

Magical lookalikes. The Lieze twins can do it.

[Kaijo]

I always had this image of Nanoha and Fate visiting the set....

Director: "Oh, there you are! Thanks for coming by. The actors playing you two could use some pointers. They are in their trailers." (he points to the way)
Nanoha: "No problem!"
Fate: "Glad to help! Well, the actor playing me is this way, so I'll catch up with you later!"

(Nanoha waves, then goes to the Nanoha actor trailer and knocks)

Deep and gruff male voice: "Justa damn minute." (Door swings open to reveal a 7 foot tall muscular man with a bushy beard and chewing on a large, smoking cigar) "Whattya wa... oh, it's you!"
Nanoha: (a bit shocked) "You're... playing me?"
Man: (removes cigar and taps the ashes off the end while smiling proudly and pumping out his chest) "That's right! Ahnoff Swatzzsher, best ahctor this side of the dimensional sea! There ain't no role I can't play. Observe!"

(he activates transformation magic, becoming a 9-year-old Nanoha)

Arnoff-as-Nanoha: (in Nanoha's voice) "I'm Nanoha. Takamachi Nanoha. A third grader from Seishou Elementary School!" (grins and chomps on the cigar again, his deep voice returning to normal but not his form) "So, whatya think?"
Nanoha: (still a bit speechless, watching her younger sell take long puffs on a cigar) "Um, not bad..." (thinking) "I wonder how Fate is doing..."

*some time later*

Fate: "So, how was your actor? Mine was a little... odd."
Nanoha: "You don't want to know, but yours couldn't be any more odd than mine. What was he or she like?"
Fate: (frowns) "Maybe. His name was simply Mr. U, and I kept having to correct him because I never said anything like "I pity the foo who goes after my jewel seeds!"

Still the one playing Precia deserves a Mid-childan Oscar by virtue of his/her superb performance xD.

Somehow i didn't note so much difference, with transformation magic Arnols can do a Nanoha impersonation just fine. I only have doubts about Fate's choosen actor xDU.

[Archon_Wing]

Lol, now those actors would make the Bridge scene awkward.

Nanoha: Why is there archival footage of me transforming?
Yuuno: I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I just thought it was a good idea to videotape everything.

[risingstar3110]

Is it normal to laugh at the final screen? When Nanoha and Fate continuously call each other name while break into tears....?


I really couldn't hold myself from smiling during the whole sequence. I mean the girl just lost her family, and about to leave her 'friend', and I was laughing like an idiot
