''Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid'' is the fourth entry into the main ''[[Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha]]'' continuity and the first to debut as a manga and not anime. It began running in Comp Ace in 2009. It's set four years after ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S]]'' and one year after ''[[
''ViVid'' is actually more a [[Spin-Off]] than a true sequel and features Nanoha's and Fate's adopted daughter Vivio (first introduced in ''StrikerS'') as a [[Magical Girl Warrior]] that [[Older Alter Ego|turns into her teenage form when she needs to battle]] [[Transformation Trinket|with the power of Sacred Heart]] - her... bunny plushie Device. That's right, it's a return to more traditional [[Magical Girl]] fare, complete with a rival [[Magical Girl]] in the form of Hegemon Ingvalt, a [[Warrior Prince|king from the era of Ancient Belka]] similar to Vivio. It also has many recurring characters from ''StrikerS'', including the reformed Numbers cyborgs.
Line 19:
* [[Fighting Series]]: With Magical Girls.
* [[Genre Shift]]: On the surface it appears to be an attempt to return the series to its roots of [[Magical Girl]] cuteness, but it's so overloaded with various martial-arts related tropes, one could almost be forgiven for mistaking it for a shonen fighting series.
* [[Hit Points]]: Used in both the mock battle and the Inter-dimensional tournament in order to prevent the fights from dragging for too long and increasing the risk of injuries. Even so fighters can be KO'd before their hit points reach zero.
* [[Hot Springs Episode]]: Chapter 11.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: What everyone looked like to Einhart when she first gets to see Nanoha & Co. in action.

* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Stubbornly defies the franchise's gradual slippage into [[Darker and Edgier]] territory by ditching most of the military sci-fi elements and playing up the franchise's [[Magical Girl]] roots with a dosage of [[Kung Fu Wizard]] for good measure.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: It includes appearances from characters from every other entry in the series, even ''[[

* [[Mood Whiplash]]: [[Shmuck Bait|Do not read this]] back-to-back with the [[Darker and Edgier|other]] currently running ''Nanoha'' manga, ''[[Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force|Force]]'', or you'll be in need of a new metaphorical neck before you know it.
* [[My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours]]: Arguably the whole point of the series, with multiple practitioners of different fighting styles squaring off to see who will come out on top.
* [[Panthera Awesome]]: The snow leopards of Shutra, which Olivie and Klaus kept as pets as shown in a flashback.
* [[Power Limiter]]: The girls form team Nakajima all train with bracelets that act like training weights, draining their physical and magical energies to help foster their growth. By the end of their training they are wearing four of them each. Their introduction even included a quick [[Continuity Nod]] to Nanoha's [[Training
* [[Super Robot]]: In much the same way as the previous casts tended to be seen as expies of either Real Robots or their pilots. Those individuals that are reincarnations/decendants of ancient warrior-kings tend to come across as general expies of these.
* [[Time Skip]]: A 4-year one between ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|StrikerS]]'' and ''ViVid''.
