Nanoha - Q&A

[Keroko]

Thank you. Gotta love the confusion of Engrish.

Ok I got a question Is there a year stated anywhere? I know the Fate had a conversation with Erio and Caro and they where throwing some dates and numbers around but I could not tell what all it meant ><

So i guess my question simplified is What year is it in StrikerS???

From what we can see from things such as the days of the week, the first season~A's coincide with the year 2005. However, since the year is never shown within the work, this cannot be confirmed.

つまり、新暦0年(正確には暦上、0年という概念はないが)は、西暦1940年ということにな る。

New Calendar
Currently, the exact meaning is unknown. However, we are told in episode 4 of the manga that the New Calendar starts from the date of the ban on weapon usage.
From the above and the hypothesis that the first season and A's occured in 2005 CE, counting the number of years passed since the aforementioned event, 2005 CE is equivalent to NC65. Thus, comparing the New Calendar with the western (gregorian) calendar, the split happens in 1940.
In other words, it can be said that NC0 (to be accurate, there is no such thing as Year 0 however) is the same as the year 1940.

So, I guess my answer simplified is, StrikerS starts in April, NC75 or 2015 CE.

I meant a word to describe her facial expression when that happens?

It was. Just a 4koma like one.
If you asked me, she looked relieved at first. And then MILDLY surprised when she saw she was being groped.

Embarrased? Touched? Relieved? Safe? Protected? In love?

Endless choices, take your pick.

Had there been any other character names based of Honda cars other than Zest and Quint (( Nakajima )) ?

[Ultima_Rasengan05]

Don't know, but I do know that Mariel's last name, Atenza, is from the Mazda car called the "Atenza" which is also known as the "Mazda 6" in the US.
Didn't know that Zest and Quint were Honda brand car names...

Wow, you're so quick to react

Quick search through NanohaWiki brought no other person other than Zest (Quint is not there yet, for her name being just released).
That is to say, I only used quick search and didn't read through all the chunk of character lists.

[Ultima_Rasengan05]

never knew that the Honda Quint was a very old car...

A question: do we have a name for Chrono's new ship ? (must have missed if it was mentioned.)

I've seen "Claudia" being thrown around. I've been using it since.

[Jimmy C]

Yes, it's the Claudia. It's displayed in ep14, although in Japanese.

[Skyfall]

I see. Thanks for the responses.
