Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)/WMG/Open One: Difference between revisions

 

== Signum is an alternate-future time-traveling version of Nanoha ==

* Interestingly enough, Nanoha, like Signum, is close with Fate and occasionally prone to arguing with Vita.

** [[Evil Knockoff|Is based on Nanoha]]

** [[Powers As Programs|Her origins are tied to Ancient Belkan magic]]

* Yuuno is appointed as Head Librarian because he is both an excellent academic and greatly talented with barrier spells, which help in making the "restrictions" of the probability-space.

* For more on infinite libraries, go read [http://jubal.westnet.com/hyperdiscordia/library_of_babel.html The Library of Babel] by [[Jorge Luis Borges]].

** One would expect Yuuno and the Librarian to start a "I'm not a Ferret/Mon'''*CRASH*''' Ape" club.

*** Or a "I'm not a familiar" club with Zafira.

== Nanoha's family are all in the [[Ninja]] Bodyguarding business, just like in ''[[Triangle Heart 3 Sweet Songs Forever|Triangle Heart]]'', but she was born with a defect leaving her unable to use Chi. ==

It's the Chi version of being Psi-Blind. So she got left out of anything other than baking. Hence the students at her family's dojo not fighting around her. It was considered rude. But she was unsatisfied with her life (it's downright howl to the skies depression in [[The Movie]]) because she couldn't kick ass, too. Nobody could have predicted the alien crashlanding with [[Magitek]] that enables her to tap [[Mana]]. This neatly circumvented that and she took to it with gusto. Clearly her family doesn't mind her being a magus as she introduces her subordinates in the [[Audio Adaptation|Sound Stages.]]

** Alternate Theory: Shirou's accident resulted in the family spending most of the time at the hospital while Nanoha was growing up. His recovery was gruesome enough that Nanoha was not brought along; leaving her with a lot of time to spend alone to herself. While the Takamachi family still retained some training, this experience also lead them to drop the anti-terrorist careers and concentrate on the bakery. Nanoha was started on the early training, but it ended with the accident; leaving her feeling unfulfilled.

*** Partially confirmed, so far only in the Movie's tie-in manga series.

** There's a much less diabolical explanation for this. An unmarried Admiral or Captain is considered something of a security risk. One with a wife in the same service is a bonus since they can be vetted by the same people. However I suspect the TSAB ''does'' make special allowances for mages simply because it's better not to annoy them greatly.

* ''Adopting'' magical children who will be loyal to the TSAB is a relatively new concept, but one that the cast has shown has definite merit.

*** With Lutecia on the same planet, no less. They figure it's playing the odds -- if Erio and Caro don't get together, maybe Erio and Lulu might. And at the most extreme, one male can get two females pregnant.

**** Or Fate is being sent on Deep Space Missions to encourage Nanoha and Yuuno to have kids together. Even without a Device, Yuuno's pretty powerful. Hayate seems to be actively discouraging "Fate-mama" for whatever reason. Whether this works is another story, since they can't keep Fate in space forever.

 

== Al Hazred was destroyed by [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] or [[Demonic Invaders]] rather than... "collapsing". ==

* Going with the above theory, then the dimensional collapse that sealed Al-Hazred away was ''intentional.'' Rebels or Heroes or an opposing Cult decided that the evil should not be allowed to spread to the rest of the galaxy, and collapsed all of the Ways. And so it shall be...until the stars are right.

 

...in an [[And Man Grew Proud]] way. That explains why nobody could find it. Also: the Saint's Cradle is said to predate the Ancient Belka, meaning that they could have obtained it from Al-Hazard. After the Saint King Unification War, the Cradle was lost but Scaglietti discovered it again... on Mid-Childa, of all places. If the ship ''was'' built on Al-Hazard, it'd would make sense for it to have been programmed to return to it after a certain idle period.

 

''Wolfram'' is the [[Cool Starship]] under Hayate's command in ''Force''. Keeping in mind how the last organization Hayate commanded quickly became known as "Hayate's Lesbian Army", which gives us a clear idea of her preferences in subordinates, it's only logical to assume that she has since moved on to "Hayate's Lesbian Battleships"... Plus, the official series designation of ''Wolfram'' is "[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|LS]]-class warship".

* It could be worse... the designation could be "[[Girls Love|GL]]-class" :P

Chihaya becomes Nanoha, Sayaka becomes Fate, Septem becomes Precia, Natsuki becomes Yuuno, and Hazuna becomes Arf.

* Holy crap, you are right. Redheaded [[Magical Girl]] who seeks to break others' loneliness? Check. Her [[Non-Human Sidekick|shapeshifting]] and [[Enigmatic Empowering Entity|empowering]] sidekick? Check. Blonde [[Dark Magical Girl]] with a history of child abuse? Check. (And they say that Fate was the original blonde DMG...) Her mysterious shapeshifting protector? Check. Artifacts of doom called "Seeds" from another world? Check! Mandatory crackpot conspiracy theory: Tsuzuki didn't like the ''Lyrical Toy Box'' premise, so he ripped off ''Magical Canan'' (the original OVA was released in 2000, four years before ''MGLN'' and just half a year before ''Toraha 3'') when asked to write an actual MG anime. However, he did completely revamp the DMG's character, turning Sayaka into our beloved [[Stoic Woobie]] Fate. Interestingly, Fate's introduction was the exact point that set ''Nanoha'' so far apart from other shows in the first place.

 

== The concept of Hückebein was originally "[[Anti-Hero]] Wolkenritter" ==
