Agreed. Why is the third Ace not there??? Grr. First you don't give her a real transformation sequence and then she does not even get to be on the cd sticker. Sigh.

Still a lot of the images were pretty cool.

I like the one with Subaru, Teana, and four outher Nakajima sisters. Cinque looks as cute as ever and they all seem pretty happy with their new life.

The Caro, Erio, and Fate one is also nice. I wonder why Caro looks so freaked out. Maybe Erio is having trouble at the reins. Meanwhile Fate is all calm and collected since she knows how to fly anyways.

And we have multiple Hayate pictures with Vita and big reinforce. Yay!

It's officially released March 4th.

I don't remember the StrikerS character songs besides Fate and Nanoha, but they totally ruined Present in my opinion. あなたの笑顔に and Endless Chain were okay at least.

Thanks to JINNSK for those nice scans!

I personally have liked あなたを想う from the time I first heard it.. Um, the remix is.. OK, I guess. But I do agree that Present is ruined. Gave me goosebumps.

At the risk of getting hammered, I still need to say this: Hayate in the booklet is kinda... "auntie-ish", for lack of a better word. What happened to her sweet gal look!?

She grew up

Maybe no longer a sweet young gal, but definitely a fine young woman

[Nagumo]

Note: I was tempted to use ‘elected’ supreme council but the word used is ‘kanyuu’ which means selected, sworn, chosen. It doesn’t seem to be a democratically elected civilian thing. So what is it?

JINNSK: It still sounds like 'kanyuu' not kanyo no matter how many times I listen to it.


Disc1-11 陸士108部隊　ルネッサとギンガ
Disc1-11 Ground Forces 108th Division Runessa and Ginga

Runessa: The JS Incident. On 0075, Mobile Division Six was responsible (in charge) for the case/investigation.
Jail Scaglietti, the interdimensional criminal/culprit mastermind responsible for crafting the most famous city scale terrorist attack in the history of the TSAB.
As a result of this incident, all leaders of the Midchilda central HQ and all members of the supreme council decided from henceforth move to review and reform the TSAB organization/structure/system and ethos. Reforms that continue, even now.
The combat cyborgs and artificial mages, from the illegal mass production of organic weapons prorject.
The prototypes responsible for the crushing/devastating attack/blow on the central HQ base/facilities.
The enormous/colossal ancient Belkan weapon “The Saint King’s Cradle” activated/activation. The Division personnel involved as well as the victim(s) are… Huh? The case details… have restrictions even here?
Genya: Oh, what’s wrong? An error?
Runessa: His rank is… a Major? The Commanding Officer of this base? Oh no. It’s nothing. It’s all right.
Genya: I see.
Runessa: Excuse me, but are you Major Genya Nakajima?
Genya: Hm? And you?
Runessa: I am Enforcer Runessa Magnus. Currently assisting Enforcer Teana Lanster and received permission to search the databases.
Genya: Oh, Teana’s. She’s here?
Runessa: Yes but we are currently mobilizing independently from each other.
Ginga: Oh Enforcer Magnus. Oh and Commander.
Genya: Hey Ginga.
Ginga: Sorry for the delay, please let me introduce you. This is Teana’s assistant/aide…
Genya: I’ve already heard. This is Enforcer Runessa Magnus, right?
Runessa: Yes.
Genya: I heard Teana’s here.
Ginga: It seems like she’s staying at Subaru’s place tonight.
Genya: For the investigation?
Ginga: A joint investigation with me. I’ve already reported this to you.
Genya: Really? If that’s the case, she come and visits us for a little.
Ginga: Teana is an Enforcer now and you Commander, are a Commander. Your responsibilities (spheres of influence/duties/functions) are different/divided from each other.
Genya: That’s true and all but…
Ginga: I’ll inform the Enforcer; if you don’t visit Major Nakajima, he’ll sulk/pout.
Genya: Hey don’t go and do that.
Ginga: Hee hee. Ah Commander, isn’t it almost time for your meeting?
Genya: I was heading towards the conference room. After that meeting, I’m heading straight to home. I’ll be home (bad trans, extremely hard to hear).
Ginga: Understood. Thanks you for your hard work.
Genya: Oh, Enforcer, I know you’re busy, but do your best.
Runessa: Thank you very much. He’s a very gentle/amiable man.
Ginga: Really? Our Commander? There are plenty of people who say he’s quite scary.
Runessa: The Major and Detective Nakajima are…?
Ginga: We’re father and daughter. Our family consists of one father and six daughters/sisters.
Runessa: That’s a large family…
Ginga: Well yeah, Enforcer Lanster and my younger sister, you know from the Security Forces, Subaru.
Runessa: Yes…
Ginga: She’s been friends with Subaru since childhood and used to play/visit our home quite often. She’s almost like family to me and the Commander.
Runessa: I see…
Ginga: Oh, you were investigating Mobile Division 6?
Runessa: Excuse me, but I felt I should find allies/collaborators that are capable of frontline service just in case.
Ginga: I see, but I think it’s a bit too much to hope for.
Runessa: Is that so?
Ginga: Everyone is very busy. Especially the Captains and the Vice-Captains.
Runessa: I understand. I was wondering why does the case file have restrictions on it.
Ginga: It’s probably because the JS Incident itself involved many confidential/secret government/administration issues/matters. There are privacy issues for those involved as well.
Runessa: I see…
Ginga: Also… the parts that can be made public and the parts that can’t be made public, the boundary between perpetrators and victim, and those who’s goodness that must be recognized and those who’s evil that must be punished. Due to these three things/issues, it was a really complicated case… All right, I’ve undone the lock. It’s only a level three though, so you’ll only be able to view the data on the division members though.
Runessa: Thank you very much.
Ginga: Okay, I’ll be in the office for the time being. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to call me.
Runessa: Understood. Thank you very much.
Ginga: Oh, and… if you could, could you call me Ginga? If just call me Nakajima, it’ll be hard to figure out if you’re addressing me, my father or Subaru.
Runessa: Of course, Detective Ginga. If possible, could you call me Runessa as well? Magnus is a very common surname as well.
Ginga: There are three of them in my division too. But I think it’s a good name.
Runessa: Thanks.
Ginga: But ‘Runessa’ sounds/feels sort of like an Orussian name.
Runessa: I’m from the civil war torn Southern Orussia. It’s a common name for war orphans. Until I was nine years old, I was on the battlefields. After that a war/disaster relief NGO found/took me and allowed me the opportunity to have a Midchildan education. Thanks to being scouted/recruited by the Administration due to my knowledge/intelligence and marksmanship, I’m currently here.
Ginga: Oh you’re a rifle/gun specialist. Just like Teana, she’s a gunner too.
Runessa: Yes, she’s been teaching me.

Disc2-12 遭遇
Disc2-12 Encounter

Subaru: Erio… Caro… HQ, this is Swordfish One. Currently I’m at the archaeological/ruin observation/viewing tunnel. The combustible substance and room temperature is over 500 degrees.
Man: Roger that, noted, flashover.
Subaru: The life sign is in this vicinity. But the location … Warning/Danger signals?! The ceiling is cracked/split/damaged, it’s going to fall in/collapse!
Man: Swordfish One, emergency evacuation order.
Subaru: But the life sign…
Ixpellia: Huh? Who are you?
Subaru: Wha-… A girl?
Ixpellia: No, don’t come!
Subaru: Stay where you are, I’ll come and save you! Owie, owie… This is bad. Did I hit my head? I can’t see a thing… And my ears… can’t hear good…
Ixpellia: Excuse me… Um, are you all right? Um, are you all right? Can you see?
Subaru: Sorry about that! Don’t worry, I can see. Partner, you okay?
Mach Caliber: No problem.
Ixpellia: I’m so relieved. You’re injured but you’re very strong. You can go back by yourself right?
Subaru: Hey wait a sec, where do you think you’re going?
Ixpellia: I’m running away… from them.
Subaru: Run?
Ixpellia: It would be very bad if I remain here.
Subaru: Um, this girl is barefooted… and wearing thin clothing. Um, it can’t be… Ix?
Ixpellia: ???
Subaru: GAH! She fell!... Ah, are you all right?
Ixpellia: I can’t stand very well. Why? Is it because I awoke outside the usual parameters of my waking?
Subaru: Ah… I don’t understand what the situation is really well but I am a rescue officer/member. If there’s someone in the disaster/fire location/site, it’s my job to rescue them! I am Disaster Relief officer Subaru Nakajima. (What is thy name, princess?) What is your name, Princess?
Ixpellia: Ixpellia…
Subaru: Hm, so you are Ix. My friend has been searching for you Ix. She asked me to rescue and protect Ix from some scary dolls called Mariage.
Ixpellia: Um, what are you…?
Subaru: Don’t worry, and relax. Just hold on to me. A safe place is straight ahead.

Erm... you already had track 12, didn't you? Is that track 13, maybe?

Look at the disc number. It says disc 2. I did disc 1 track 12, that's true... but disc 2 track 12 is completely different.

[Nagumo]

Disc2-13 信念
Disc2-13 Faith/Belief/Conviction

Runessa: Enforcer Lanster, this Runessa.
Teana: Rune, are you all right? Did you find Toredia and the Mariages in the underground/subterranean Mall tunnels?
Runessa: I’ve destroyed three Mariages but I could not confirm the whereabouts of Toredia.
Teana: Where are you now?
Runessa: I’m on thenorthern elevated Aqua road. It’s where the helicopter landed. Where are you, Enforcer?
Teana: Can you see me from there? About eight hundred meters ahead. Next to the entrance for the fire trucks/engines.
Runessa: I see it. You’re there.
Teana: I’m about to go in now and protect Ix.
Runessa: What… That’s dangerous.
Teana: There’s no else available. I’ve got to go.
Runessa: Then what am I…
Teana: Rune, you will independently counterattack the Mariage. Guard the rescue personnel from attack.
Runessa: Roger.
She’s gone in? In this confusion/chaos, I can freely move. I’ve got to find her. No problems with the heat resistant armor/protective clothing. I have enough bullets remaining. These flames… are the dawn of a new beginning. Within these flames of rebirth/regeneration… Ix shall resurrect/return as King once more.
There are 32 Mariages currently mobilized… But mobilized disaster rescue personnel in the area must number in the hundreds. With this many, it’s more than enough… With Ix here… And in this situation, there are plenty of corpses waiting to be made…
AH! I got shot?!... From behind?
Teana: I guess your bad habit/tendency of talking to yourself wasn’t an act… Neither was leaving rear/back vulnerable.
Runessa: Enforcer Lanster… But… I saw you by the emergency entrance just now…
Teana: It’s a special skill/ability I had since my school days.
Runessa: High mobility (high speed)? No, illusions…
Teana: Fake Silhouette. That was an illusion over there, I’m the real thing.
Runessa: Impressive/Well done/Bravo.
Teana: It’s pointless to resist. I shot you with a capture/bind type stun bullet. You won’t be able to move for a whole day
Runessa: I know… When did you start to suspect me?
Teana: After I mentioned Toredia’s name.
Runessa: I… Did I… make a mistake?
Teana: When his name was mentioned… Your personality/behaviour and voice became a little lonely. After that I started investigating a bit. You were with him, Toredia Graze, for a little while in Orussia, weren’t you?
Runessa: We weren’t related by blood… but we were family (father and daughter). But more than that, in that land… In that blood soaked battlefield, we were comrades fighting and dreaming the same dream.
Teana: So your motive… was to continue his will/dream?
Runessa: When I was first rescued… I wanted to believe in a truly peaceful world, I wanted to believe in it so badly… but it was an empty wish/hollow hope. The only thing different was there was more people. No matter where I looked people… fought each other… hurt each other… murdered each other everywhere!
My father fell into despair by the reality. So my father wanted the world to realize/recognize…
Teana: Realize/recognize… what?
Runessa: What it means to fight… the/to despair (…the emptiness/sorrow/grief)
Teana: When we were together… I wished I had talked to you more.
Runessa: Even if you did that… I wouldn’t have changed (my mind).

Teana: Vice-sempai… Please escort her (to prison/holding cell).
Vice: Yeah, got it/I know.
Runessa: Enforcer Lanster… Could I… Ask you a question?
Teana: What is it?
Runessa: When you asked me to become your partner? Was it an act to shake my confidence and change my mind? Was it fake?
Teana: No… I was serious. If this hadn’t had happened, and still is.
Runessa: … Thank you…
Teana: Ginga-san, this is Teana.
Ginga: Teana, how is it?
Teana: I just finished escorting the suspect and will now join the mission to counter the Mariages and search for Ix.
Alto: Teana, Ginga-san, there’s an emergency!
Teana: Alto-san?
Alto: Just now the 108th had been monitoring the ruins with sonar. And they say Ixpellia might be moving/active!
Teana: Really?
Alto: And we lost contact with Subaru, she was in the tunnel near the ruins. The place where Subaru went missing is so full of rubble and burning flames that it’s cut off!
Teana: Don’t worry about it. I’m going to go in.
Ginga: Teana!
Alto: It’s impossible!
Teana: Send Cross Mirage the same map that Subaru was using. With that I should be fine.

Hmm... I guess the person who made the whole compilation thingy mixed up then. *Switches the one in the disc two section to disc one*

Thanks for the translations, Nagumo.

Rune doesn't sound very befriended. Teana should have hit harder.

As awesome as it would be if Teana befriended Runessa with her Starlight Breaker, she still has to go and rescue Subaru. Thus needs to conserve her energy.

I guess the White Devil forgot to give tips to her students/disciples on proper befriending.

Well, in a somewhat ironic fact (since the object of the befriending was due to a lack of listening to training), Nanoha only befriended Tia with Cross Shoot, which is why it took an extra punch from Signum to finish it off, and no doubt Tia is just following this example from class.

[spawnofthejudge]

I have a question about the song that plays at the very beginning of the first season and then several times throughout the entirety of the series. It has a distinctive acustic guitar sound and is quite soothing, but...

...does anyone know what its name is, or on what CD it is? As far as I know it's not in the soundtracks of either MGLN or MGLN A's (though I haven't been able to determine this about the StrikerS soundtrack). Does anybody have any idea here? It's driving me nuts.

Indeed that's correct. They also avoided the question when a viewer asked it. And for good reason. rabu-rabu means a deep love it's something different then an ordinary like. As for now they have no reason to hardly confirm it. Because if they did then what. Some fans go hyper? like me you feel more happier. Beside sthat they have allready given us enough information that FxN love eachother. People who still doubt are disrespecting the anime.

Oh snap, I'm disrespecting the anime then. So are other members of this community. What blasphemy!

Give me a break. If you want to ship NanoFate, do it elsewhere.
