Nanoha Manga Discussion

[Bananoha]

I'd be happy with Yuuno appearing in either form. Chrono would be cool, too. And maybe the rittle twins of his.

And I'm still all for Signum coming back and her AEC equipment making her flames even more flame-y and Eclipse people being burnt to death Roy Mustang style. Muttan! ;_;

Both of ViVid vol 3 and Force vol3 will be released on March 10,2011.


Nendoroid Petit Takamachi Vivio is ViVid vol 3 limited version's appendix.
Nendoroid Petit Takamachi Nanoha with a new equipment is Force vol3 limited version's appendix.


This article is very vague so can I post again after more information revealed?

Right, if anyone else is interested in this - Vivid and Force. Uh, looks like Force comes with Force NEXT and Vivid comes with a special booklet? /shrug

Someone's already reserved both copies of Vol2 and Vol3 of Force at both Animate and Gamers. Maybe I should do this with my friend so I can get tokuten, but safe bet is a safe bet.

This is why I dislike anything that tampers with extreme regeneration. In one scene, we see a whole arm cut off and she recovers it -- bones, muscles, tissues, ligaments, tendons, skin, and all -- in three seconds. In the next, you cut off the head and she dies. Why? You're not going to win me by saying it's because the head is cut off, so the brain left the body and it's now a permanent brain death situation.

the body is going to regenrate a head, and the head is going to generate a body. Cypha has attained the ability to make copies of herself via binary fission!

Don't cut of the head, blast it! If you leave it intact than it may regenerate the body. OR if you want to be sure, incinerate the entire body

Wait, are we still talking about the Nanoha franchise? Cause I've never remember either Nanoha, Fate or Hayate to kill someone in cold blood

Anyway, about the regen thing, I don't think it's limitless. Once whatever is powering them (mana or something) is depleted, they're mortal Just like how Mustang from FMA fry Lust until she can no longer regen

[Doraneko]

Solution: just don't kill her. Lure her to a room and promptly fill it with concrete. Lastly, bury the whole thing deep in the ground.

Oh well this is well beyond the scope of the Nanoha franchise .

[Jimmy C]

Besides, they're still thinking in terms of "arresting" and "reforming" them.

[Blank-Mage]

Well, to imprison her, they need to catch her first, and as Signum just demonstrated, that isn't easy.

The Hucks said they have to constantly kill people in order to survive and keep their conscious intact... It is certainly hard to reform them to become law-abiding good citizens while at the same time allowing them to continue to kill.

Unless there is a cure to their bodily problems, if they decide to join the good guys, they will probably enjoy a short period of free time before committing group suicide.

Or maybe they can become executioners of the Bureau? Not sure if there is death penalty in the Nanohaverse.

Luring her to a room maybe slightly easier, though I cannot say for sure.

I thought about Cypha's head severed becoming this...

Spoiler for Thing (Not for the arachnophobic):

Obviously the solution to regenerators is to KILL IT WITH FIYAA

The Gadget Drones weren't really doing too much during that time other than sticking tentacles into the building.

Otto just arrived for the coup de grace, Zafira and Shamal were already out of it trying to play bodyguards.

Also, with the proximity of the gadget drones, their AMF would presumably have had some effect on Shamal and Zaffy.

I agree, purge it with flame. And Signum is obviously the most qualified for the job.
Flaming chainsword plz...

Spoiler for For the FMA fans.:

Nah, Lust got off easy. Cypha's just begging for the full-on Envy treatment. See if that wipes that smarmy grin off her face.

[Nya~n]

some of us who BUY tankobon instead of ripping off scanlations haven't read that far into FMA yet ;_;

[Moczo]

Whoops. I apologize, and though I recognize the damage is done, I add a spoiler tag in deference to thee.

[Akiyoshi]

all of this "reforming" maybe applies to the other Huckebeins but, if it's Tsuzuki's intention to made Cypha into Signum's rival or her superior evil counterpart, in fact she's begging to be killed off in the finale, or at least extremely badly injured.

...also i think there's a limit for their regeneration capabilities, if Vita or Nanoha fights Cypha maybe it becomes a plot point for her to not confront them directly(she was just recently receive a good beating and regenerated an entire arm apart of being released her true power so she need's to rest something to recover her amazing regeneration powers completely).

Besides they have the same plot problems as Touma if they ever came to the good guys side, what on Earth can prevent them to become a team of Game Breakers? i mean, if one of them can take on one of the most darn powerfull combat mages of the Nanohaverse and slaught her, what chances have the rest of the redshirts, mauveshirts and every non-AEC equiped mage? ....i think they're just too broken to join the main cast it will be a huge problem.

The core cast had a potential game breaker. Do you know what they did to her? She was not even given a transformation scene in StrikerS and all she is good for now is to look good on Megami spreads. AWESOME! /sarcasm


Fuck you 7arcs, fuck you.

Reforming? Who said anything about reforming?

Probably. But maybe not. We don't actually know anything about this yet.

No, if they join the good guys, they'll have to have been cured of the Eclipse "infection" (or else they'll need to keep killing people to survive), so they won't be totally broken. In any case, who cares about redshirts? Pretty much the entire named cast is completely broken against any redshirt.

then what with their damn awful dividers? those thing can pull off an almost instant win on everyone not blessed with new shinny-curvey looking weapons xDU ....so maybe the writer's plan is to replace the main cast with Touma and this guys?

If my rage about what they did to Hayate is a dynamite stick explosion, Aaron's rage about this topic is the motherfucking Tsar Bomba.

Well, if it's any consolation, it looks like she might get at least a teensy bit more screentime in Force as she orders people around and sits in her uniform looking damn sexy damn kickass and cool.

[prescience]

I guess we have to be grateful for what we can get, when it comes to Hayate.

It would be awesome (though probably unrealistic) if she could also get a slice of the combat cake. I wonder what her AEC gear would be like. With the amount of raw magic power she has, maybe a suit of powered armor would be an option?
Seraphim Gundam do want...
