While I've said that FH's deactivated form will be a small silver crescent, I do know (but haven't said) what it's activated form will be. I honestly haven't given much thought to his barrier jacket. The above isn't *bad*, but it doesn't strike me as quite right for whatever reason.
Given Ranma loves to dick with people's minds,... have FH's barrier jacket be:


A Karate Gi.


A plain, straight forward, somewhat travel worn arms torn off karate gi.



Completely understated, yet for those that can recognize what FH's emulating it's a telling point......

Wait...I actually got it right ? :blink:
Huh...well...there's a first for everything I guess. :huh:

Maybe a pair of greaves and (one) gauntlet so that he'll be able to actually deflect and block attacks with minimal damages could be part of the Barrier Jacket.

Also, you may want to equip him with a Barrier Armor instead of Jacket. Armor are what the Wolkenritter are using. They have better resistance to close range combat then the Mid-Childan Jacket.

Call it a hunch, but I have a feeling it's going to be something completely different, and people are going to be arguing over it.

Which could be hilarious, if done properly...

hmm I think somethign like this would work out the best for Ranma's Barrier Armor just change the colour from Red too blue maybe some ice like silver trim.

Well, Archer's gears are VERY Badass so... :snigger:

No, we're not going to be ripping off archer.

And beyond that, take a step back from it for the moment and take in the general design. It's basically an off color male version of Subaru's barrier jacket.

Well, I do remember you mentioning something about the Numbers knowing the activation codes for the manacle, and that when they demonstrate that knowledge, Ranma will take some rather extreme actions in response...

I'm guessing that's how he loses the arm myself... Self amputation, ouch...

And to up his badass levels leave it in a place that when it activates it blows something important to Jail's plans.

Even more badass : upon activation of the taser from hell, Ranma's first action is to use all of his remaining force to enter into grappling combat with whoever is was stupid enough to be at range (*couchQuattrocough*) so that he can share the pain ! :sisi:

Just go the whole way: Ranma beats the closest Number to death with his severed arm... while the arm is still being electrified.

And then he shoves it down the Number's throat and has it rigged to detonate when another Number or Jail comes to check the body.

Eh... neither Jail nor the Numbers are evil though? Much funnier would be Jail saying "sorry about the whole questioning you thing" and Ranma's like "sorry about busting up your lab" and in Ranma's mind it's settled, he's got no beef with Jail.

I think it would work thematically that Ranma has no problem with Jail doing his thing. While everyone else is like, "oh noes, stop him", Ranma basically says, "let him."

Funny... would be different acts convince some of the Numbers that Ranma is a good catch, and eventually Jail decides Ranma's a good fellow that can be entrusted with one of his cute little numbers.

In short, while being watched by the rest of Section Six, without them knowing any context, Jail gives Ranma permission to date, say, Quattro.

You mean when he hooked a six-year-old girl up to her cyborg birthright throne, or... actually that was pretty much the only time.

I dunno. I find it unlikely that Viveo, who was purpose-built to use the Saint's Cradle by the TSAB, would really find using it "torturous." Scary and painful, perhaps, but she's a child in an unfamiliar environment.

Nah, it was a <s>good</s> try, but all the details that the writing staff didn't think too much about really make it a lot less "evil" than they probably intended.

Didn't NeverwhereCM said he was going to toss StrikerS' canon into a blender soon anyway ? There are good many chances that this won't even happen anyway.

How about when they mind fucked Lutecia into helping them with the promise of saving her mother from the brink of death if she got the things they needed to save her... which was a lie as Jail could have brought her back anytime. Jail was the one who ordered her mother killed, and lastly they jammed something into her head so that Quattro could force her to fight to the death.

How about when they brainwashed Ginga and had her try to kill her sister Subaru?


Face it Jail was a fucking sociopath everybody and everything was nothing more then a tool for him to use.

In reguards to Ginga technically you can't brainwash a machine, you CAN wipe the memory though.

It should be noted that while Jail is definitely a sociopath, he's not actually a sadist.

The torture angle was completely Quattro's and her alone. Jail never opposed it (sociopath, so he doesn't care) but he never ordered her to do it either.

Also, we'll need Nanya for confirmation, but I think that Word Of God said that Jail didn't lied about Megane. She really could only be saved by a specific Relic.

Really, while the overall plan was Jail's, nearly every bit of sadism involved in it can actually be traced back to Quattro. Jail would have been just as happy he could have managed to pull off his plan without hurting anybody.

Except the High Council. Them he want dead as dead can be.

Mind-fucked Lutencia... he said, "If you do this thing for me, then I will bring your mother back from functional death." That's not mind-fucking, that's a contract. We never see whether he intended to honor that contract, although I'm given to understand the canonical answer to that is "yes."

As for Lutencia's mom and Ginga, I'm going to point out that they were both fully-fledged, adult volunteer agents of the government that built and programmed Jail. They're not little girls for him to torture. They're enemies. And turning Ginga against Section Six was a way to deflect their attention from stopping him.

I find it really hard to criticize Jail for using mental manipulation against the TSAB when his personality was programmed by the TSAB to fill him with an unquenchable, inescapable emotional need to develop weapons--the Unlimited Desire. And that escaping from under the TSAB's thumb was his #1 reason for literally everything he did in the whole show.

It's exactly the same thing we saw in the the original series and A's: the "villain" turns out to have sound reasons for what they're doing, and is basically a good person. It's just that Strikers forgot that was what they were doing about halfway through their season.

I don't know that I'd say he's not evil, but he's certainly not malicious about it. I could've sworn that the "Unlimited Desire" was to find the secrets of Al-Hazard, though...

Uh... *Yawns* Tired.

Jail convinced Lutecia that he needed a specific relic to save Megane's life.

Dunno if the Bureau had the relic or if they could just heal her, but from what the Sound Stage made it sound like, it was the latter.

Wait a tick.

I remember this.

It involved ancient ruins, a giant blue ferret, and a fight where the aforementioned ferret attempts to eat Ranma.

:) I can't wait to see how that turns out.

Also, no more specualtion on the secret agent Yuuno front? That is pretty interesting and would be great if reoccurs later.
Hmmm.....what if the method that whatever they used to turn Yuuno's ferret fur blue, what its likely suggested for Jed.......who forgot a Eeeny, Tiny detail?......, namely that the dye its permanent on the hair...affecting the cells themselves...Either that, or another to chalk to Ranma's meddling....

Could imagine Yuuno with such "issue"?
