Ahh, so that's where the Jewel Seeds came from.
I'm surprised Nanoha's mum took it so well D:

Well... if you left out all the magic and stuff. It probably only be like "Mom, I was asked to recover some sort of computer thing and well, it got very dangerous and there are some fighting going on with this other girl who's also looking for that same computer thing. I'm going to talk it over with her. Even though it could be really dangerous but I want to do it."

When put it like that it doesn't sound AS dangerous as it actually is.

Well... the first thought I got when I finished this is... "What an unoriginal Lost Technology world name." Yes that's what I thought. Seriously... Lost Technology world that's so advanced that it caused it's own destruction called Alhazard? Go lookup another anime called El Hazard and you'll see exactly what I mean XD Makes me wonder if the creator just can't think of anything and subconciously or conciously used an almost exact copy of the name from another anime series.

So, he was actually capable of transforming back into his original human form all along?


I dont think he was at first. But by the time his power recovered, it would have been rly weird to say Hey Nanoha I'm rly a boy. Remember our trip to the onsen? Plus, being in human form would make life hell so I guess he just stayed to make it easier on everyone. Once on the ship tho, he was among his own sorta ppl so there was no reason to walk around as a ferret.

HER MOTHER. holy crapload of crap. If only all mothers were so. HA. Nanoha is like 8 or something right. Ah yes, the world of anime. hahahhaa

If I remember it correctly, Nanoha is actually a teenager... animely only made her seem so much younger than age assigned to her. Yes the world of anime is so interesting. One of the longest running joke is Doraemon XD All characters are forever 4 grader nevermind that they've been through their birthdays and holidays multiple times but they are still 4 grade. Time is of no consequence XD

Not familiar with the 3th and 4th grade system but it's stated several times that she is in Elementary.
I know that First year high school student are 15 or 16 depending on the month of there birthday. (As in before April or after April)
And middle school in Japan is 3 years, so from this i conclude that i Elementary student is 12 years old or younger.

I agree with you that her mother has allot of fate in her daughter, and judging from the fact that Nanoha talked about it with her mother and not anyone else clearly shows they have a very strong bond.
Also Nanoha looks like the younger version of her mother while both her sister and brother look more like there father. (Not only in looks but also personality)
Which could explain her mothers fate in her.
And Anime characters do age, it just depends on the anime.

Interesting episode. Yeah, it was kind of a stretch to believe that Yuuno could transform to human all along; though he does have a boyish voice, I somehow never pictured him like that.

Watching this anime with headphones on is really rewarding, those background sounds on the spaceship and captain's room were nice.

Looks like Nanoha's been recruited. It must be nice to have anime parents who let you do what you want.


It's nice to get some information about those jewel seeds/Lost Logia now. So it seems like each of those jewels is what remains from a chaotic, hyper-evolved civilization. And of course each of those holds untold amounts of power. Like the people from the Time-Space Bureau, I wonder what Fate's mom could possibly be using those for. How does that stuff help her reach the paradise she's mumbling about at the end of the episode?

Lmao, I agree. Without the magic and Yuuno, basically all she told her mother was that she had an argument with some random girl and that the argument was "possibly dangerous". Oi.

The ship's captain was her mother? Ohhh that would be awkward.

Fate and Nanoha were categorized as AAA mages, both of them over a million in whatever scale of magic power they were measuring. It's over 9,000! Eat your heart out Vegeta! LOL

Even if Nanoha basically said "i had an argument with some girl i met, we did fight a bit and i want to talk it over" ... why the hell would her mother allow her to leave the house for an undetermined length of time, to an undisclosed location, with people not even Nanoha herself knows?

I actually think the probability of that happening would be higher if Nanoha actually would have told her everything and showed her her powers (just transform and fly around a little etc.).

Don't worry, even 7Arcs realized how feckin ridiculous the numerical levels were, it's power classes from here on.

Ehhh, AAA isn't really that impressive in here. By A's you get characters that reach S-class easily.

The women of the Takamachi household sure are lenient.

*Nanoha comes home really late at night*
- sister deflects their older brother's scolding
*Nanoha tells mom she needs to leave their home for a while because of a certain friend*
- mom's completely cool with it
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness."

"May those who defy their fate be granted glory."

Uh, so, for how long is she going away? And what about school and cram school? And yeah, she's got quite an understanding mother. Makes me wonder if she actually knows something about all this dimension business, especially based on that weird conversation her and the dad had in episode 5 while standing beside the stream.

People who are watching after continuum, that bad things doesn't happen with it?.. Interesting..
Actually telling parents about things?.. Is this really an anime?.. But.. If Nanoha didn't provide concrete evidence about magic, like her form, or Yuuno's form, how mother really believed that?.. In her place I'd worry, if my girl is being drugged or something, dragged from home.. It feels a little bit unbelievable mother let her go as easy as that..
Maybe with other magicians in place, maybe she'll get more experience and won't be a rookie next time..
Well, now we're at least getting some answers, and more clear reason to fight.. Cause now we're under some continuum police or something, who watches after dimensions.. Though, this captain woman also seems like a woman, who warmly smiles at your face, but coldly counts everything in mind.. So I'm not sure for now that everything will just go calmly there.. Well, it's starting to finally get somewhere.. Though, I also hope that the slice of life part, which was great, won't completely disappear or anything.. Hope, there will be slice of life things at ship.. Also wonder, how Nanoha's friends back at earth will take Nanoha's leaving..

Parents in anime are criminally negligent, but considering how much younger Nanoha is, she's probably an accidental child

Yuuno transforms back into his human self, Nanoha’s reaction is funny as.

Glad that Lindy explained everything to Nanoha, now she understand just what’s she’s getting herself in danger for.

It’s nice that Arf cares so much about Fate.
I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.
