Here are some statements from Gekijouban Shakugan no Shana, the Shana movie which, as we all agree, are more faithful to the novel: Quote:

This episode surprised me. At preview of episode 8, I thought the scenes with Tenmokku Ikko would be a flashback like how Shana remembered Merihim. But to my surprise, the invincible Mystes is back in action, and he kicks butt! - until he found the way back to his master at least.
Just wondering if Tenmokku Ikko intentionally went to Fecor first before going to Shana. Or did Fecor just happened to be in his path to Shana. Another thing that surprise me in this episode is how much Shana trusts her sword. Just hold out her hand like that, trusting that he cut only the chain and not her hand. Maybe it's because they've been together for a long time already, so she has an idea on what he would do.

Do you even know what Nietono no Shana is? Or just shooting off without knowing the whole picture? Am I the only one in both the Japanese and English otaku community who found the Aizens tragically endearing... Quote:
it's not full on posession per se.... Example, Asiz and Alastor. They do not manifest their entire existence with their Flame Hazes except in extreme circumstances. IE they don't fully cross over into this world unless the shit hits the fan Quote:
from all combatants later

Besides, Fecor is not that powerfull. Magnesia is his only known attack so once you get pass it there isn't much of a fighter to beat. Also, Tenmokku was the fear of both, Flame Hazes and Denizens, to the point that they even got away from Asia to scape from him (before Shana's iniciation), so yes, he is pretty powerfull and Fecor didn't stand a chance. I didn't found it endearing but it was a good arc , I still like Sorath's novel version better tho. They could have omitted the kissing, but well, they were the villains so they needed to be hated so their death would not be cryed.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Tenmoku is stronger than Shana with her sword? And I thought Fecor's defense cube was supposed to be something very sturdy, since the idea was supported by one of the strongest flame hazes. Tenmoku manages to slice it like butter. Would Shana with her sword be able to do the same?
And A+ to Kugimiya at Shana going crazy a$$ b!tch. Though I dunno where she got her strength to stab that rock-head to oblivion, when she barely had enough strength to crawl on the ground. Adrenaline ftw, I guess.

^ Just like previously explained, Tenmoku Ikko's Mystes body was immune to all Unrestricted Spells. Adding the fact that the Nietono no Shana is an anti-magic sword makes Fecor seem like mere fodder to the Tenmoku Ikko. This is the reason why he is feared throughout Asia as the "most dangerous Mystes in existence".
Shana could slice Magnesia, but without the absolute protection from spells, she would get clobbered eventually.

In my opinion, that is not the case. The katana acts as a conduit that channels the flame from Shana towards her opponents. For the same reason, the power of existence was channelled through the sword to Tenmoku. In short, the katana cannot consume the power of existence by itself. Correct me if I have said anything wrong.

Mmm... regarding the "convenience" of Tenmoku returning the sword at that specific time (which some like Giriath have said in this thread)...
As an anime-only viewer, the impression I got from this scene was that Tenmoku (who only gives the sword to people who are strong) waited until Shana "proved" her superiority by defeating that Rinne as a weak piddling human. Maybe I'm seeing too much into things... |
