And wasn't Mach Calibur's heavier upgrade designed by MC itself... I think?

I said that because Subaru calls it Excelion. It's conveniently right after a flashback to her telling Nanoha she wants to be like her.

*sigh*

I just woke up too... Bad way to start the day...

[panzerfan]

Tea's gamble paid off. I supposed being backed to a corner does wonders to one's resolve for survival.

Subaru... must have gotten some inspiration from Nanoha vs. Yami no sho fight.

I wonder how many gages are left for Nanoha's limiters at this point. At this point, I would not be surprised if Vivio will perish in 2 episodes.

See I told you there was more to Vivio then "moestock."

but Still damn it Choas was right she did go evil. This is a win/lose for me anyway I hope she lives after she takes on Nanoha.

Other than the obvious fact that she was clearly going to be a one-shot drama stock as well? Regardless, it doesn't change much of her status. What's done is done, and what she did, was only being a very weak character catalyst, a boring character on her own, and right now, a one-shot drama stock for Nanoha.

I mean, it was...very very blatantly obvious. The lack of an actual rival for Nanoha helps as well.

Not saying that this will be bad, since it depends on the execution, but I'm saying that this alone doesn't necessarily make the time wasted on her worth it. Especially even more so with NFanserVice since it could simply be NV, take up less time overall removing Fate from the equation and it changes nothing much, since Fate doesn't look like she'll be involved at all.

Oh, I see
Otto was left alone, so Shamal and Zafira got their revenge

Yeah, Otto was outside the barrier providing an overview and maintaining it - the other 3 were inside attacking Tea. This allowed Shamal and Zafira to get the drop on ..it.. with binds.

[Thisguy]

Either way it is... I really felt it was crammed beyond the line.
At this point, I can't agree more for Nighty's opinion about "wasting" time on everything else.

[Nightengale]

Wait... so Subaru and Ginga ARE related to Quint after all? As in their biological information's base. No, not Genya's. >_<

Feels like they're adding strange new dimensions for a new season... since this screams TSAB again.

[FlareKnight]

Still couldn't believe that image when I saw it. Of course this was pretty predictable to have coming. With them doing it with Hayate in A's they were of course going to pull that one with VIvio. Giving a big 1 on 1 match.

So Zafira gets his revenge at last eh .

Audience misdirection or are they still having problems making up their mind?

[Nightengale]

Well, Estavali, looks like they answered that Vivio-Drones question of yours. Vivio destroyed it, looks like via her Ancient Belka Rare Skill, which seems to have a rainbow-ish effect.

(( What's with all these Rare Skill l33tness though from dogs to fortune telling? Feels quite one-trick-pony-ish... ))

Saint King's...something. Mind someone translate?

[Thisguy]

Adding up the fact that the picture Zest thrown to Regius had Quint and (presumably) Lutecia's mother in it, Zest itroduces them as his ex-subordinates, and Regius being the supporter of SKJ projects...
This would answer several questions, I suppose.

- It's quite possible that Quint was killed 8 years ago too, same time to Zest

- As (presumable) Lutecia's mother was in tube in Jail's lab, it's possible that he has Quint's body too.

- Regius was a close friend of Zest, so most likely he knew his subordinates too... Now, who provided the DNA data to create Subaru and Ginga?

Saint King's...something. Mind someone translate?

I think I heard it "Sei-Oh no Yoroi", as in Saint King's Armor.

Edit:
Although I missed it at airing, someone on 2ch pointed out that...
Cast List said her fullname is "Auris Gaiz"

This Quint relation thing has been quite a twist. We went from "Subaru sure takes after her mom" to "What?! They're no related?!" to "So they are related." Seems like a cheap rollercoaster I hardly felt.

Spoiler for OC thread:

And I can't imagine Sakura Zaki wearing that Yoroi.

Well, I haven't watched till that part... but still...lol.

My OC crack piece about Zest knowing Quint and Lutecia's mom had some substance after all!

Thanks...and GAIZ? If she and Regius is related, sure doesn't look too much like it. @_@

[krisslanza]

This is kinda creepy how some of yours (And others) little 'crack' things keep turning out to be somewhat true...

[asaqe]

I think it is like this

-Regius takes DNA sample from Quint to give to Zest. (Could be a medical test.)

-Zest goes and becomes a relic weapon for unspecified reasons while handing Scalleghetti the DNA sample to work with

-Scal Creates the Type Zeroes.

-Type Zeroes have Scal's DNA mixed in order to activate the OB skill.

Also on the note of vivio, maybe during the time she was making her escape (in her adult form or something, she came under attack, unleashed the massive burst attack and the strain of it forces her to remove the Relics and turn back to her child form.

Some of us have got to have alter egos working at 7arcs.

[arkhangelsk]

In that case, clearly the problem is that we don't have enough moles in that company...

Yes! Or some of you are 7Arc sleeper agents! O_O
