The second season of the ''[[Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha]]'' franchise, set six months after [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|the original series]].
Line 14:
Widely regarded by fans as the best season of ''Nanoha'' and the only sequel to the original not to have caused a [[Broken Base]] in some way. Until previews and info for the movie below started showing up.
It has a supplementary [[Slice of Life]] manga and [[Audio Adaptation|Sound Stages]] that take place between the episodes. The [[Namco Bandai]] game for the [[
The anime was dubbed
'''NOTE:''' Only general tropes for the series are listed here. For character-specific ones, check out the [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
{{tropelist}}
* [[An Asskicking Christmas]]: The final battle takes place on Christmas Eve.▼
* [[Anonymous Benefactor]]: Hayate has an "[[Honorary Uncle|uncle]]" who provides her with money {{spoiler|and turns out to be Admiral Graham}}.
* [[Artifact of Death]]: The Book of Darkness, because of the malfunction.
▲* [[An Asskicking Christmas]]: The final battle takes place on Christmas Eve.
* [[Biological Mashup]]: The corrupted defense program of the Book of Darkness, which seems to be a hybrid of the magical monsters whose linker cores the Wolkenritter absorbed.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: The threat of the Book of Darkness is over, as is its control over Hayate and the Wolkenritter's lives, but {{spoiler|this requires Reinforce's [[Heroic Sacrifice]], preventing her from sharing her mistress and knights' happiness and greatly upsetting Hayate}}.
Line 41 ⟶ 40:
* [[Lighthearted Rematch]]: After the incident is over, Signum tells Fate she would like one. The last chapter of the manga involves a 5-on-5 sparring battle in which Nanoha, Fate, Yuuno, Chrono and Arf fight against Hayate and the Wolkenritter.
* [[Living with the Villain]]: Hayate's place is villain central, although it turns out the problem is on the bookshelf, not with the people. Nanoha's friend Suzuka becomes friends with Hayate, later introducing Nanoha to her, and even meets the Wolkenritter. In the first Sound Stage, Nanoha and Fate go to the public bath at the same time as Hayate and the Wolkenritter, and the two groups barely avoid seeing each other.
* [[Lock and Load Montage]]: The show already devotes an inordinate proportion of its [[Transformation Sequence|Transformation Sequences]] to shots of the characters' magical armaments, which include a surprisingly large number of moving parts. These evolved into full on [[Lock and Load Montage|Lock And Load Montages]] in ''A's'', they begin literally loading their weapons with cartridges and magazines.
* [[Lotus Eater Machine]]: Fate gets caught in one by the Book of Darkness near the end of ''A's''. Reinforce offers Hayate one, and planned to put the entire Earth into one, but she refuses.
* [[No Ontological Inertia]]: Averted; Nanoha is able to finish firing off her Starlight Breaker after her Linker Core gets damaged.
Line 56 ⟶ 55:
* [[Tempting Fate]]
** In Vita's second fight with the title character, Nanoha fires a cartridge-boosted [[Magic Missile]] spread of twelve (in the first fight, Nanoha used twos or fours at most when shooting). Vita responds by deploying [[Beehive Barrier|Panzer Hidernis]] to protect herself while saying: "Are you stupid?! There's no way you control all these bullets!" A moment later, [[Improbable Aiming Skills|the bullets start speeding up]], and Vita's Panzer Hidernis begins cracking. [[Sarcasm Mode|Good job, Oh Great Hammer Knight]].
** In her ''third'' encounter with Nanoha, Vita used Eisen Geheul ("Iron Howl", kind of a flashbang/flare) to distract Nanoha while the knight escaped. After flying quite a distance (though still in sight), Vita muses, "OK, this is far enough..." Cue Nanoha charging up [[Wave Motion Gun|Divine Buster]]. "Is she seriously going to shoot anyway? At this range?!" Yes, Nanoha was and did. {{spoiler|Vita was saved by a third party intercepting the beam and slapping a binding spell on Nanoha in just a few seconds.}}
** Nanoha notes it would be funny if the master of the Book of Darkness happened to be a girl her age. Moments later, she gets an email from Suzuka telling her about Hayate.
** Amy, [[You Are in Command Now|having taken charge in Lindy and Chrono's absence]], tells Nanoha and Fate that she doesn't expect anything to happen, and is ''cut off in mid-sentence'' by the alarm going off as the Wolkenritter are detected.
Line 62 ⟶ 61:
* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]: "Brave Phoenix" for pretty much everyone in the final fight.
* [[Time Skip]]:
**
**
* [[Treachery Cover-Up]]: {{spoiler|Admiral Graham's plan to seal the Book of Darkness away with Hayate}} is largely overlooked outside of the upper echelons of the TSAB, and he [[Karma Houdini|merely resigns]], only being officially accused of breaking into Bureau systems and interfering with the investigation.
* [[Together Umbrella]]: Nanoha and Yuuno. The shippers must have gone nuclear
* [[The Worf Effect]]: Nanoha loses to Vita, and Fate is losing against Signum for most of their first fight, to show the power of the new antagonists.
