Shattered Zamber just like that?! 0_0
Reminds me of somebody using golden strings from the OC thread.

Expectedly, awesome bitch Quattro shows why she's so dirty and awesome. Activating Lutecia's fail-safe after toying with her, playing the mind game with Deici, she actually looks more evil than Doctor. I mean, at least the Doctor is shameless when it comes to this kind of things.

Well, the more hard-to-deal-with villains, the better.

Lutecia's befriending meter just shot up 89%. Though I must say, damn you Seven Arcs. I can't stress how much I hate the "mind-controlled", "body doesn't respond to thoughts", etc plot device, especially when you JUST know they're going to get a good end out of it..

Tried and true formula getting overused.

LOL, it actually felt like Garyuu was befriending material. You know... maybe they should've made him a familiar... voiceless doesn't really show anything but silent devotion...

Yeah. At least you get 'Kyukuru!' from Fried.

Jail = entertainment. He never ceases to crack me up. In fact, I'd almost say that angry!Fate is somewhat annoying, seeing how she just snaps before Jail's mind games. It's rational, but I suppose I wish she could be a little more...professional.

That's our resident crackpot mad scientist for ya!

Agito becoming Signum's = 89%. Zest is pretty much writing his own will now, and it's all about how Signum is a good knight, a true Belka knight blah blah blah for Agito's sake. Though it does look like Zest's time is almost up... he can't even use Agito's flames anymore in Unison... he was almost breathless against Vita for most parts, but a single cartridge had him breathing heavily already now. Though that wind-looking shot of his... It's exactly what Isdera uses, though not as powerful.

I knew I had to wait for this before continuing with RevivalS! Looks like we have another Unison device on our hands! It's a good thing I was prepared! Well, Isdera is Signum's rival, deshou?

Nanoha knows Vivio has no mama.

Then why the memory of a mama?

Looks like Stars may turn the tides next episode.

Good.

[Flar]

So the road is clear now?

Ep 23, more RF getting owned and flashbacks. Vice and Zafira get ready to go out, Lutecia gets spectarularily antagonized, more flashback and she proceeds to destroy the numbers. Quattro gets her head bitten off by a giant bug. situation stabilize.

Ep24, our heroes overcome their different predicaments. Fate releases her true power after having been transported to scags center of power. Vice gives a boost to Tea, who activates level 3 and flies. Nanoha and Vita sink the cradle, but too late. True end boss appears.

ep25 , heroes regroup, and their team obliterates the danger, by going past the safety limit. Possibility of Nanoha vaporizing El Hazard and getting injured/losing RH (or something like that). Vivio dies like the useless moeblob she is.

ep26. Aftermath. All is well, everyone is happy, and the people you thought died in the last assault are shown barely sporting superficial scars.

Not even hoping for some character development. The StrikerS director obviously think boring vague fanservice and flashbacks is character development.

On the brightside, this might answer Nightengale's question on how Fate could take longer than 3 hours...

If you remember what I mean

Just need to change the tone and pitch

Agito and Signum? I don't know... Feels kinda weird seeing how she could unison with Rein.

If it does happen, doesn't that make her way way more stronger than Vita?

Planted? Or maybe it's just instinct.

[Key Board]

Apparently Fate is fighting in an AMF saturated zone too

so I guess that answers certain questions asked last week

[Nightengale]

As for the mama thing, Vivio has a mama, but the real mama is long dead, since Schach did state that her origin is those of Ancient Belka times.

Well, to me, I never doubted that place would have AMF. Drones are there in bundles, so naturally there would be a degree of AMF.

The main question was the concentration, and this episode showed that there's a decent degree of it at least, though I suppose we'll never know if one place's is more powerful than the other. Well, other than the Forwards at least.

According to Schach, DNA examination revealed that Vivio is someone of around 300 years ago.
As she is such a old person, Nanoha was sure her "mama" in her memory (thanks to Project F) no longer exists by now.

Just like a pokemon.

Not really complaining much. It'll make her and Fate's rivalry more even now.

Almost exactly how Serge does it! Only this time, it seems more technological than magical.

Btw, what was it with Nanoha talking about 'looking for someone who'll care for Vivio" and the "I'm a person of the skies" talk? That part somewhat eluded me...

Ah... I see.
Eternal loli?

No, it means that Vivio was based of someone of 300 years ago, as in Saint King. (( Now we have an idea of Ancient Belka timelines...somewhat. ))

Unless Vivio's mama is an immortal Saint Kaiserin or something, there's no way she's alive.

[krisslanza]

You know I don't think I ever saw the 21st RAW...
But 22 sounds kinda nice... Argh why isn't my Nanoha buddy on MSN so I can blab to him!? /cry

"I'm a person of skies" and "I've fallen once, actually"...
Nanoha is basically saying that as she's a soldier, she may permanently leave Vivio forever anytime in her future missions, so she thinks she doesn't deserve to look after Vivio.
Typical comment from professionals who are putting their lives on stake, I say.

Well, that and Nanoha, knowing her own personality, wasn't sure she can be a good mama, apparently.

Well looks like the guys may actually make a small comeback. Though I'm doubting we'd ever see Zafira in human form. Finally we get the finish of Vice saga with him probably saving Teana from her dangerous situation. Heck if they don't get pwned even Chrono might decide to come out and fight a bit. Unless they are brining that fleet out to see Carim .

Must be rough on Fate under the heavy AMF. But guess 2 or now 3 vs 1 plus AMF is the only way they can keep her from finishing things quickly with her limiters off. I'm sure she'll bust her way to victory, maybe deciding she's got to use sonic form .

Yep the mind control card has been played. But guess after manipulating Ginga it's not as huge a shock. Now Erio+Caro will have to beat down Lutecia to finish that off. Might even see a number or two switching sides if the bit we saw here was any indication of doubters in the following.

Spoiler for Thought 1::

If leadership amongst the Knights was ranked according to power, then Signum, being the leader, and the "General" (Rekka no Sho "General of Flames"), should be the strongest in their team.

Signum & Agito, Rekka no Sho & Rekka no Ken Sei...

Spoiler for Thought 2::

Regarding the AMF level in the hideout, I think it's possible for the Doc to adjust it to his needs/pleasure. Since his Numbers and he himself doesn't seem one bit bothered by it at all, and a very high level of AMF will help make Fate's capture much easier, it would only be sensible for him to make sure that the surroundings are to his advantage as well.

If it's not enough, just turn the knob/press the "Make it very thick!" button!

Spoiler for Thought 3::

Regarding Zafira's role in the upcoming episodes (provided that Seven Arcs don't shaft him any more), I should say standing beside Vita should be worth a thought. Throughout A's, Zafira has been Vita's partner and is seen most frequently with her. It would be nice to see the Azure Wolf fighting beside his old comrade-in-arms again.

Not to mention that his Iron Yoke should be very useful for clearing out drone mobs.

Spoiler for Thought 4::

It seems to me that, of the Numbers, Deici seems to be the most humane/compassionate of the lot. I'll need the subs to be sure, but she is apparently very uncomfortable with the Doc using a small child for his means, regardless the reasons.

Approval rating from me:

Add-on:

Something puzzles me. Subaru used the Relic Circle when she went berserk and STKJ-ized. Gin-nee, however, still used the Shooting Arts with her old Belkan Triangle. That should mean that the Shooting Arts is only compatitable with the Belkan system, right?

Seems like the Cradle has lots of beam turrets after all. And the Air grunts are proving to be quite deserving of their name. Go! TSA Air Force! Show 'em what grunts can do!

Quattro mentions something about Sein, Cinque and Dieci being too nice(?)

The girl Vice shot is also acquaintances of Signum and Alto. She seems to be quite familiar with Vice.

She's his little sister, Ragna(?) Granscenic.
I missed cast list at airing, but cast list proved it.
