Happy New Year everyone! It\s a bit late for me to say that but anyway,
Nanoha 57-61
*So Vivio asked Nanoha to put her through training from hell. Nanoha complies with her cute daughter's request and brings on the pain. Nanoha seems worried at points but like mother like daughter, I suppose. One page even describes the whole thing as "a pleasant family holiday playing catch." Just a mother-daughter bonding moment, Takamachi style.
*Einhart seemed surprised at the fact that Vivio wasn't always the cheery, energetic kid she knew. Also, it basically confirms that what Rio and Corona know of Vivio's origins was explained to them..
*So It was Nove who taught her Sacred Defender, Wonder where she got the idea? Saint's Armor?
*So the black knight armor is actually the color of Olivie's battle garb, and not just an evil color scheme for Vivio.
*Vivio has learned the Takamachi game face, mixing adorable and badass with one look.
*Einhart Connects with a punch, only for Vivio to no sell it, Then does the quick version of the shin shoryuken.
*Sacred Defender is basically a semi-automatic guard, or more accurately, a pinpoint barrier.
*Can someone explain to me what a variable kick is?
*Lutecia's explanation on the flaws of Sacred Defender if both morbid and funny, especially since its at Chantez' expense.
*The entire match can be summed up as "Notice me Einhart-sempai! I'll beat the crap out of you to do that!" Somebody, possibly Corona, even describes it as "Vivio wants to have a serious chat with Einhart-san." We all know what it's really called.
*Einhart, however, thinks the reason Vivio is beating the crap out of her is because she's angry. Einhart dear, if Vivio were angry at you, you wouldn't be standing right now, because it's not Vivio you have to worry about.
*CROSS COUNTER!!!
*Vivio's backstory will always be one of the most awesome and heartwarming stories in anime for me.
And that's that, sadly we\ll have to wait a bit longer for chapters after that, as well as Vivid anime season 2.
