Accelerator noticed quite some time ago that with just the power to negate with his right hand, he would have been dead a thousand times already.

[Miraluka]

Mmm.... its been some days after the release and the novel hasn't made more than 9 pages for discussion in the thread... maybe its because the wait has been too long compared to previous releases and the volume is one if not the thinnest so far. Maybe I'm starting to lose interest bit by bit too but I'm more interested on ZW 2 and Waltraute :3.

When I say smart, I mean that according to my Japanese friend who has read the volume 5, he was smart in a way that had not been in the series, he could be BADASS without punches.

ps: but as I have not read the book and his Portuguese is worse than my English, there are some parts that I may not have understood.

ETA on full english tranlation?

Please, we've been doing this for three years already- at some point don't you think people have learned to be patience, especially since unlike other series we know we'll get our translations soon?

There's only so much time I can stand people jumping to conclusion before reading the thing, at the same time I don't need to wake up to 3 pages every morning. At the very time I know this is still getting more buzz than Progressive.

Which I don't remember what Progressive was about XD.

Realizing again that AC's security really sucks. I mean come on how many Magicians are in this volume?

[Acer]

confirmed? I think they are: Ollerus, Silvia, Fiamma?, Brunhild, Birdway, Marian and Thor, forgot some more?

You mean all these high powered magicians?

Note that conventional security plans for conventional threats, it's abit hard to plan for something if nobody tells you about it.

Secondly there are two types of security- one that deters people from committing the crime, and the other that prevents them from getting away with it. To completely lock down a city during a festival is unrealistic.

[Breidaluk]

Acer, did you get Portuguese translations?

[Acer]

Just got some major spoilers, a summary more specific, but the Portuguese of my friend is bad, there are some things that are confusing, but you are Brazilian right? if you want I can send you to the spoiler.

[Breidaluk]

Por favor!

[Acer]

Você tem e-mail? anexo em um documento do word e ti envio, acho mais facil que postar o link do orkut ou postar aqui, mas já adianto que tem umas palavras erradas e você tem que ler com atenção porque ele não usa virgula.

[Breidaluk]

Thank You!

[shmaster]

Got the book.

Regarding what Ollerus said about Imagine Breaker and the Distortion of the world, I must say Fiamma is right all this time. And if anything, reveal the purpose of the Aeonic shift.

Spoiler:

To put it simply, Imagine Breaker is one of the power that can standardize the world and serves as the basis point of everything. No wonder Aleister refers to Imagine Breaker as the Central Point Zero. As it gets to call what is natural and what is not.
The world is distorted with the abundance of super natural power, especially with beings like Majin around that can out right bents the law of the world.
The ultimate result these powers lead to a world so distorted that no one can tell how the world supposedly is anymore. Going so far away and forget where you are coming from, and certain powers exist to remedy this fear. A back up of the world, a basis to everything. Something that can restore everything to the starting point, and such power manifest itself when people desires them. Imagine Breaker happen to be such a power in this era.

From this we can reach a conclusion. The whole Aeonic shift is the process to re-standardize the world once the distortion reaches a certain point. And the power of the Right is to serve as the Central Point Zero that provides a standard.

[Miraluka]

So it wasn't a fake, perfect!

So, should I assume the big distortion Fiamma struggled the whole time until the end of WWIII is because of majin doing stuff? I wonder how deep reached Othinus in this distortion.

Btw, then what is Holy Right in this game? So far Birdway implied when Fiamma fixed the distortion a new era started with the aeonic shift.


P.S.: So Fiamma knew this all the whole time and keep it for himsellf (isolated)... Being Fiamma is suffering.

[Chaos2Frozen]

The distortion Is why a mach 3 coin can do so much damage

[shmaster]

Majin is a huge distortion, but not the only one.
Though, Odin is

Spoiler:

planning to distort this world to the extreme as she finds this world dominated by science suck. So Imagine Breaker is nothing but an obstacle to her.
But Fiamma's greatest suffering would be that Odin decided to this because he lost in WWIII, what allowed the science side to out power magic side.

Though, Fiamma didn't complete the Aeonic Shift. Touma had beaten the crap out of him before that can happen. The distortion was fixed by the Star of Bethlehem, but that is really about the only thing Fiamma had accomplished. If Fiamma had succeeded, the world would have reverted back to the rule of the Christian God.

....The more I read into this that more I feel bad about Fiamma. He is actually the one who is making the proper use of the power of the right. Touma felt even more incompetent by comparison.

[Miraluka]

Then what is what completed the change of era enough to mess Aleister's calculations and force him to go into a halt? (see Birdway's trolling Aleister at the epilogue).

EDIT:

Imagine Breaker happen to be such a power in this era.

Then I assume HR was the power for the former era, right?
