[motaku96]

Those were really great. Wish I could find a full nanoha tranformation in hd.

This is a bit old and nanoha's part in it is small but still worth watching.

[Alavon]

That was funny. Seeing Sailor Moon again...wow...I feel old....

Nanoha Full Transformation (Sorry...not in HD...)

SSX 11-12 CD2

I've made some changes detailed further in the description.

[Nagumo]

I can see why there were joke comics of Subaru and Teana visiting graves and Subaru introducing herself to the Lanster family grave as Teana's wife at long last.

StrikerS SS04

12 - Port Fall Memorial Garden

Subaru: Ah, so it is close by.
Teana: Diagonally behind, right next door.
Subaru: So they’re neighbours.
Teana: Yeah, so they are.
Subaru: So I guess I’ll take care of the flowers and prayer first?
Teana: Sure go ahead.
Subaru: To Captain Tiida. And to Teana’s father and mother, nice to meet you. I’m Subaru Nakajima. I have been in the care of your daughter Teana… Okay done.
Teana: Oh, I’ll be by your mom’s grave to say hi too later.
Subaru: Okay, then I’ll go ahead and have a chat with my mom first.
Teana: Ni-san, Father, Mother, somehow I managed to get through the Relic Case without getting hurt. My dream that I received from Nii-san, my path to becoming an Enforcer is still far away but… I’m getting there, slowly but surely. Last month, I took the exam/test to become an Enforcer aide/assistant and am now waiting for the test results. Oh about my shooting skill/markmanship, though it’s nowhere near Nii-san’s skill (alt: can’t be compared to Nii-san’s) but I think I’ve gotten better. I’m sure that it should make you worry a little less about me. In any case, Teana’s doing her best/well.
Subaru: Hey mom, it’s been awhile. You know, a few days ago, me and Gin-nee tried again but it seems that using both Revolver Knuckles is still a bit too much for us. You were really strong Mom, being able to handle both work and home. So we thought to ourselves, that’s the reason why you could use such power. I guess I’m still not ready yet. Dad and Gin-nee are still worrying about me all the time. I’m doing all I can to hold on to my dream and job. I’m sure when I get strong enough protect/protect my most precious things with my own two hands. I’m thinking to myself, once I can do that, I can try it again.

[Alavon]

Thanks for the translations, Nagumo!

THIS IS SOOOO FUNNY!!! XD XD XD

[Rising Dragon]

Huh. I knew Teana's brother was dead, but I somehow missed that she lost her parents as well.

13 - Hayate to Vita
13 – Hayate and Vita

Hayate: Ah~
Vita: Oh, Hayate!
Hayate: Oh, Vita, you just got out?
Vita: Yeah, I’m about to go back to the dorms for a rest.
Hayate: I see, then let’s go home together.
Vita: Okay.
Hayate: When are Rein and the others supposed to come home?
Vita: I don’t think they’ll be back until around 10 p.m.
Hayate: I see, if that’s the case, since we’re alone until then, no one can stop me from spoiling Vita (alt: no one will ever know that I’m fawning on Vita).
Vita: ARG! Hayate you’re heavy!
Hayate: Heavy! How rude!
Vita: I was lying about you being heavy, but I can’t breathe!
Hayate: Oh no you don’t, I won’t let you go! As always, Vita is so wonderful to hug/cuddle. It puts my heart at ease.
Vita: Really?
Hayate: You’re so warm and smell so nice. This is the world that Vita protected, that’s why we can relax like this.
Vita: Nanoha’s the one who stopped ‘The Cradle’ and the ones who saved/protected the world was everyone who happened to be there at that time. It was everyone.
Hayate: That might be true but Vita did her very best to protect everyone. Going to that dangerous place, trying her hardest until she was all tattered/beaten up/torn up. Sorry and thank you, Vita.
Vita: The one who saved me was Hayate and Rein, so we’re even.
Hayate: Ah, I wish we could stay like this forever.
Vita: You can, if you want.
Hayate: Is that so?
Vita: Yeah…

[Nanya01]

*Reads Hayate to Vita*

...

That sounds like a proposal to me! XD

The older Lansters were silenced killed in an accident set up by higher-ups as they've learnt too much about the Jail project.

Tiida was then later killed while fighting for Celestial Being to uncover the distortion in their world while pursuing some villain which is another cover-up excuse.

That is what we know so far.

Fixed.

Stop doing that. You only confuse people.

20 – Kizuato
20 – Scars

Nanoha: Ah, ow… Dr. Shamal, it hurts.
Shamal: Hm, as I suspected. It’s been two months, and even with three days of complete rest, the pain doesn’t go away.
Nanoha: So it seems.
Shamal: It seems that we’re going to have to put you through a very thorough/tenacious/stubborn medical treatment for this.
Nanoha: I see…
Subaru: Oh, the door is open.
Teana: Is Dr. Shamal still treating patients/working?
Erio: It appears that Nanoha-san is inside though…
Caro: Um… Er…
Shamal: The battle inside the Cradle and backlash from the Blast Form, this isn’t the sort of damage you recover from quickly/easily. Your maximum magical power/mana has fallen by 8%
Nanoha: Well, I’ll just recover while working.
Shamal: The case/incident and training is over now. As a doctor, I would like to advise/suggest you take a complete rest, for at least a year, or better yet 2 or 3 years.
Nanoha: I’m fine, I can still work. And besides, with this sort of damage, we can’t be sure that it’ll be completely fixed/return to normal by taking a long rest.
Shamal: Nanoha-chan…
Nanoha: I’ve finally figured out how to make the (Alt: insane/crazy/not the sort of big stick rational people would use in the first place) rash/absurd/overpowered Excellion safe/stable now. And I’ve passed it on to Subaru but there’s still so much I want to teach them. Teana’s gotten much better with her magic/mana control, so before she graduates I think I’ll be able to teach her how to converge/focus magic/mana.
Shamal: EH? You mean you’re going to teach her Starlight (Breaker)?!
Nanoha: Yes, I’m sure Teana will be able to use it. And for Caro, Shooter and for Erio, Charge Drive and basic/fundamental long distance attacks. And Subaru’s ACS and Buster can be made to go much further. There are so many things I want the others to take away with them.
Shamal: That might be true…
Nanoha: There are many things that I and Vita can teach them, but they can learn only if we go full out in battle. I always say; regretting after being defeated/falling/failing is much too late but I know I can’t continue to fly forever. If that’s the case, then until that time I stop flying, I wonder how much I can do. I wonder what I can leave behind.
Shamal: It’s far too reckless. For a doctor, you are an utterly terrible patient.
Nanoha: Um, sorry. I will make every effort not to fall, and not to break/hurt my body.
Shamal: But you don't want to stop flying or fighting.
Nanoha: Is that bad/impossible?
Shamal: Even I told you it’s impossible, you wouldn’t listen to me in the first place. But as long as you’re in Mobile Six, I am still Nanoha-chan’s doctor, there are things I won’t compromise with.
Nanoha: Yes?
Shamal: Don’t think to yourself that you won’t ever recover/get better. Don’t ever say it out loud in words. If you want to keep flying for even a little bit longer, you mustn’t give up.
Nanoha: Yes. Sorry about that. I’ll definitely recover and fly again.
Shamal: Yeah. Oh, what a delighted/happy looking face.
Nanoha: But, really, I won’t ever fall/fail. I can’t make Vivio cry (alt: I can’t allow Vivio to cry).
Shamal: Oh? Did someone come, I wonder?

[Jimmy C]

"If you want to keep flying..."

[DezoPenguin]

Thank you again for all the hard work translating, Nagumo!

Hm...what I think is perhaps most interesting is that in ViVid we learn that Nanoha actually has been manning a desk for some time. Maybe Shamal is a better nagger than we give her credit for, or perhaps Nanoha wised up and realized that now that she has a daughter she has a responsibility not to burn herself out and foolishly risk her life (Seriously--she wants to risk killing herself so she can fight her students harder on the training field? Is the TSAB that strapped for competent help that Subaru, et al can't have a quality mock battle with anyone else? This kind of logic is where idealism and dedication start to cross over into pathology...)

[Keroko]

It's not that the TSAB is strapped for help, it's that Nanoha has shounen level stupidity when it comes to pushing herself.

That and I suspect that Nanoha is secretly a combat junkie...

[prescience]

Suspect? That's practically canon

[Nanya01]

So, Vivio turning into a Battle Maniac might be canon?

[Tempy]

She'll be known as That Other Thing.
