Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid will have Vivio as either the lead or co-lead

ViVid, Vivio, they're too close to each other for this to not be true!

Heidi E.S. Ingvalt is actually one of Vivio's classmates

...maybe even Corona or Lio. Think about it: Vivio is 10, she just got her own Device, and a mysterious Dark Magical Girl is now after her and Ixpellia (who may just as well not be counted, since she's comatose). Does that remind you of The Original Series? Obviously, there are differences, the main one being: Vivio is the Older Alter Ego-type Magical Girl, rather than the usual Magical Girl Warrior variety. Ergo, her rival in the manga may just as well be a Older Alter Ego-type Dark Magical Girl. Bonus points for them both transforming into Ancient Belkan rulers in their adult forms. And what better twist can you apply to that than Living with the Villain? Especially if you consider the general tendency in Nanoha to properly pair rivals according to their size. OK, I admit that asking Nove where to find Vivio if you already know Vivio from school is a bit pointless, but maybe "Ingvalt" is just someone from a different class. The main idea is: "Ingvalt" is, in fact, someone of Vivio's age who also mastered the adult form, and now aims to achieve... something. Judging by her "Weakness can't protect anyone" line, said something probably has to do with losing a loved one. But she is gonna get befriended, anyway, that much is as certain as an amen in the church.

  • Rio and Corona don't fit the Dark Magical Girl image at all, but promotional materials mention a character in Vivio's school (in a higher grade than Vivio) named Einheart Stratos (cue Mobile Suit Gundam 00 references) who seems a pretty good candidate for Heidi's real identity.
  • Ingvalt seems to have somewhat longer and darker hair than Einhart(although it could be transformation magic or some other magical effect), so I'm curious as to how Einhart fits into all this, as she has yet to make an actual appearance.
    • ...wait a second. "Heidi E. S. Ingvalt". "Einhart Stratos". Really, can it be more obvious than that??
      • Nice catch. I'm betting on the reveal happening in the next two chapters :P
        • It was revealed in chapter 5, however it's shown that Einhart and Heidi are two different entities who can't remember each other similar to how Vivio was when she first transformed into 'saint kaiser mode' meaning that even if Einhart knew vivio, Heidi wouldn't be able to find her because she dosn't have any of Einhart's memories.
        • To clarify, Einhart isn't actually an ancient Belkan ruler like Ix. She is merely using the title "Hegemon Ingvalt". What her connection with the title is has not yet been revealed.
        • To clarify even further, both Einhart and Vivio have perfect recollection of their actions in their adult forms (Vivio, for example, flashbacks her fight with Nanoha in the first chapter). Vivio didn't have control over her actions in Striker S, true, but that had to do with the Relic lodged in her body rather than with her adult form, per se. And the most likely reason why Einhart/Heidi didn't know Vivio personally is simply because Vivio is her underclassman and St. Hilde Academy is pretty huge, so you can't reasonably expect everyone to know everyone else. Though the question still remains how Einhart learned about a Saint King clone and the Dark Ruler of Galea residing on Mid-Childa... I'd imagine that being a closely guarded state secret.
          • Whether Fate or Vivio is narrating the flashbacks at the start of the chapter depends on the translation, since it segues into Fate asking how Vivio ended up in Adult Mode.
          • I don't know, that secret doesn't seem to be guarded at all. "Hi, your highness!" "Stop calling me your highness, I'm just an ordinary schoolgirl!" anyone?
            • Well, IIRC only the Numbers at the Church HQ address her as Majesty by now, which is a pretty secure location IMO.
              • They also did it in the Infinity Library in Sound Stage X. Don't know how secure a location that one is. Vivio needed to get pass a security check which required her ID Card and voice sample, but that seems to be normal security for large public libraries.
            • Maybe her being the Sankt Kaiser is a bit like Naruto being the host of the nine-tailed fox; a fair amount of people know (In Vivio's case, Section 6, Lutecia and the Numbers; In Naruto's case all the people who were old enough to remember the attack), but it's officially treated as a secret and they can't talk about it with others, (one possibility is for Vivio to live a normal life), but that doesn't stop Otto and Deed from calling that when no people who don't know are in earshot. Einhart also doesn't seem to know who or where exactly Ixpellia is, and may just know about her and Vivio from the legends, making the assumptions that they're also around in this time period (If she had more information, she might have suspected that Nove knew something).
              • They are elementary students going to fairly large private school. They can't really be expected to know everyone else who goes there by name and sight, as well as any interesting tidbits about their family history.

Heidi Ingvalt is not the real Big Bad of ViVid

She somehow learned that Ixpellia and a clone of Sankt Kaiser Olivie are on Mid-Childa (which is supposed to be a state secret) and pals with Nove Nakajima (which is really none of an elementary schoolgirl's business). On the other hand, she does not know that Ixpellia is kept at Saint Church HQ or that the Sankt Kaiser clone is her own kohai. She also apparently does not know the details of Ixpellia's current state, clearly expressing the wish to fight her. The final picture is of someone who has a number of presumably classified information pieces but with large gaps -- in other words, it appears as if someone were feeding her limited information, trying to make her do their dirty work of locating Vivio and Ixpellia for them. Seeing how ViVid parallels The Original Series in many aspects, I'd suppose that there is a Precia-type Big Bad still lurking somewhere in the shadows.

  • Take a close look at the visor Einheart is wearing prior to her confrontation with Nove. Looks an awful lot like the visors the Mariage used to wear, doesn't it? And she's looking for Vivio and Ixpellia? Hmm...
  • It seems as though Einhart never had any malicious intentions toward the two of them, and Vivio's main goals seem to be becoming closer friends with Einhart improving herself to her level, and possibly finding out how to solve her issues with Ingvalt's memories.
  • As good as confirmed by now. Looks like ViVid is not gonna have any Bads, big or small, any time soon.
