Line 509:
**** It should be noted that Subaru concedes that Teana was out of line with her outburst immediately before asking Signum the question. Her fandom of Nanoha has limits, but the same can be said of her support for Teana.
**** Subaru's admiration of Nanoha may have limits, but the same can't be said on her support for Teana [[Les Yay|(why else do you think rainbows are straighter than her?)]]. A good example of how far she's willing to go for her partner is when Teana misfired during their operation at Hotel Augusta. She tried taking the blame for Teana's mistake by making up excuses, painting herself as the incompetent one (Vita didn't buy it). She even stated that she's prepared for any punishment and she was pretty used to getting scolded the night before the "White Devil Incident", but assures Teana that as long as they show results, then everything will be fine, so she's well aware of the possible results of their plan and is probably banking on the idea that Nanoha will be nice enough to overlook the dangerous aspects of their plan in favor of the results it may bring.
** Plain and simple: [[Values Dissonance]]. In the Japanese military (and thus in most fictional militaries created for anime and manga) it's acceptable to strike your subordinates if you think they have it coming. Thus why Nanoha pounding Tea with training bullets would be seen by the others as just a "slight overreaction"... it's more that it's a bit out of character for Nanoha than that it's not considered kosher. (Tea's probably lucky that Signum or Vita weren't more directly in charge of her training, either of them might have kicked the crap out of her several times by that point, and in a more lasting and physical way to boot.) I'm one of the ones that thinks Nanoha definitely went too far and Tea didn't really deserve that, but it's hard to argue with the fact that it sort of did work, plus as explained in the anime Nanoha has personal experiences with pushing yourself too hard and thus causing injury to yourself and others that probably affected her judgment on what was appropriate to use as discipline for someone she thought was making the same mistake.
* I get that the series has an [[Fundamentally Female Cast]], I accept that. It does however bug/confuse me that in the big city tournament in Vivid that there doesn't seem to be a single boy, not even an unnamed background extra, competing. Is the tournament said to be divided by gender lines somewhere, or is Mid-Childa just some female only society?
** I would assume that the tournaments are gender-divided, at least on the child/teenager side.
