Line 4:
''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 Striker S (Anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S]]'' and one year after ''[[Striker S Sound Stage X]]''.
''ViVid'' is actually more a [[Spin
The series is [[Sugar Bowl|a lot]] [[Lighter and Softer]] than any other incarnation of ''Nanoha'' and so far lacks a major antagonist and an over-arcing plot. It is by no means less action-packed though, as it focuses heavily on magical martial arts and feels much like a shonen series with magical girls. So far it's also the most successful in terms of sales figures.
Line 15:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: A few on- and off-screen ones during the opening of the [[Tournament Arc]]. Chapter 25 has a montage of team Nakajima curbstomping unnamed opponents.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: With the exceptions of Vivio, Lutecia and a few of the Numbers, all the other recurring characters have had their screen time cut, even Nanoha and Fate. This isn't a bad thing though, as Vivio and Einhart do a very good job of copying their dynamic and a new generation of magical girls are stepping in to fill the gaps.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The Sankt Kaiser, until chapter 3, where her name was finally revealed to be Olivie.
* [[Expy]]: The Sankt Kaiser looks ''exactly'' like [[Fate Stay Night (Visual Novel)|Saber.]]
* [[Fantastic Fighting Style]]: Strike Arts and Kaiser Arts. All the named rivals in the tournament arc have some uniquely named fighting style, but it's not clear whether they are officially recognised or just their own variations.
