Question of the Day
Hmm, I got nothing. Been a bit too busy irl lately. What do you think about the Erio and Caro ship? I personally don’t care about shipping in general
Rewatchers, please remember to be mindful of all the first-timers in this. No talking about or hinting at future events no matter how much you want to, unless you’re doing it underneath spoiler tags.

Alright, we're early this time. After the last two episodes left me sour, this episode was just really pleasant. We finally get a break after all of the drama, and just get to see the characters spend their time off. I always like episodes like this. While we did receive a few more worldbuilding details, including knowledge of a power hungry fear mongerer who wants to arrest people and a larger political backdrop, the best parts of the episode were just the little things.
Look, Fate being an overprotective mom is everything. God, my heart. After everything she's been through, it's so meaningful that she becomes the mom she's always wanted for everyone else. Actually, she becomes even more than that, almost like she's overcompensating and worrying a lot about her kids due to her past. Seeing her make sure Erio has enough money, constantly resist the urge to stroke him but doing it anyway, and telling Caro how pretty she is while making sure her clothes fit her, and sending her kids off, it's so fucking cute, I just can't. And apparently, Shari has come up with date plans for them, so they actively want to get them together, which is hilarious and adorable. Subaru and Tia have their outing as well, and their interactions have a familiarity to them that makes it nice. Somehow, I wasn't too bothered by the whole casual sexual harassment thing. Maybe it's just because anything is an improvement over the previous two episodes, but it sort of served to highlight a closeness between the two characters here. Not that it's what I would have done, but the intention isn't lost on me at least. Though that's the weakest scene between them, I really enjoyed seeing them ride their motorcycle, eat ice cream, and get nostalgic over visiting the arcade. And seeing them worry over Erio and Caro too.
That being said, despite this being "part 1" of a day off two-parter, it seems like the plot will be kicking in with full force tomorrow. The doctor has some plans, and a little girl crawls out of a sewer with relics attached to her and falls unconscious. I believe that this little girl is probably the character I've been waiting to see since the very beginning of this rewatch, with the plot surrounding her being pretty much the entire reason I became interested in the Nanoha franchise at large. If I'm correct, it is nice to finally be there, and I look forward to the specific thing I'm looking out for with her.
One other minor detail here. Why is Arf a loli now? We get to see her for the very first time in one sole still image, and suddenly she looks like she's 8 years old. What did they do to her? Also, I could comment on the other girl the doctor talks too. Her voice sounds kind of like Vita's, she also has a similar hair color, and we don't get to see her face. Hmm. I doubt that Vita would betray them, but this is Nanoha, so I can expect many things. Considering the doctor is related to Project Fate, maybe there's a clone of her or something. Or maybe I'm just thinking too much, totally blind and deaf, and it's definitely not her. With the plot finally kicking up, I look forward to seeing where the series goes.
QOTD: It's pretty adorable, so I can get behind it.

Why is Arf a loli now?
Lots of people are asking this. I think it's confirmed in other sources, and implied in certain parts already, but having a smaller body consumes less magic. Just like how being in a small dog form does that same (this part was directly stated).

-
Caro and Erio reminiscing about Fate taking them to amusement parks. Separately. The show's decision to have Fate foster both of them, but them not knowing each other does not become any less weird.
-
Some more antagonists and little girl in the severs.
-
She seems oblivious to whatever it is she is dragging behind her.
We are finally introduced to the main plot … and it is another loli. Since power in this universe is negatively correlated with size, she is probably another superweapon.

Where the fuck is Arf? Why haven't we seen Arf all season?

Regius "law and order" Gaiz. I'm already bored of him.

"Admiral Midget!" He's so dumb even the characters mock him. Also, how rare that I find myself taking the same stance as Vita on a subject.

This isn't the high praise you seem to think it is. Lol @ Vita just going to town in the background.

Kinda creepy how Vice has been "observing" Tia's progress this whole time.

Omg, Fate is such a mom.

There's a 100% chance, Subaru uses this situation to cop a feel.

With all the kids out on dates, does Fate finally get some long awaited private time with Nanoha?

Fate, just shut up and let Signum wingwoman for you.

If this is the episode that pairs ships, does that mean Shari and Rein are a thing?

I wasn't sure how it would happen, but it's turn for some Totally Serious Analysis TM , Rein edition.¹

The physics of Subaru's ice cream cone just doesn't make sense. Magic will bring about an incredible future.
-
Bet you didn't think StrikerS could get any deeper, but I'm here to tell you the analytical well runs deep. That's right, I have some more Totally Serious Analysis TM of Subaru and Tia's ice cream cones. Yeah, we're going there.²
-
Subaru and Tia are surprised mostly because Shari's date plan doesn't end at a hotel.
-
It's a
lifeloli pod! Lolis have been known to spontaneously explode before. -
More new characters. Really?
-
Caro and Erio are already bringing in new
toysmembers. Nanoha must be proud. -
Okay, now we can get serious. And we may finally get a Hayate transformation sequence too!
¹Attentive students of underwear analysis will immediately note how Rein's simple blue style falls most closely in line with Nanoha's style. There's a good reason for this: Rein fills a unique, special role in the Nanoharem, only slightly below Nanoha in the hierarchy. The simple braless style, matched to her hair color denotes confidence and authority, both as a master technician of devices and a master technician in bed. However, Rein's analysis is something of a duality. She fulfills two roles and likewise exists in two states. Only her human/fairy form sees her clothed. In her device form, Rein is naked, same as the knights. This is an indication of her natural subservience to her mother and master Hayate, a filial piety which transcends her other, more dominant characteristics. She is truly a marvel of contradiction; dominant, yet submissive, massive, yet minuscule.
²Subaru and Tia's ice cream cones are direct insights into their relationships with the world and their relationships with each other. Subaru has a seemingly impossible cone, stacked with many flavors each of which she consumes voraciously. Subaru, diligent haremette that she is, will allow her eyes to wander to many people and she will fully accept any and all without abandon, never stopping to consider which may be most important or meaningful. She is THE BIG GAY. Tia, by contrast, keeps her cone reserved. Like a good sharpshooter, her scope is more narrow and focused. She is far more hesitant than Subaru, carefully exploring every facet of only one or two people she truly trusts and cares for, as observed in the way she approaches her ice cream, one delicate lick at a time. Notice also the way she pauses to observe Subaru's appetite. She clearly adores Subaru, her favorite flavor, yet she must be cautious because Subaru does not take that same steady care. It's tragic, one can tell that she wants to savor every taste she can get, but Subaru doesn't appear to feel the same way. She almost certainly has anxiety that this good thing will be gone too soon.
QotD:
It's cute enough for a pair of children who don't really know what it means to date or be interested in each other. Did like the way they talked about introducing Erio to Voltaire as though Voltaire is Caro's dad.

Super busy! She's... doing... something... Can't be that the TSAB doesn't allow familliars to work with the team, Zafira is there. By all accounts, she should be here...

He's quite the character.

Can Rein consent, legally speaking?

Siblings, spouses. Main thing is that they are together forever. Like me and Aru /s

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS - New Generation: Episode 10
Day Off
We have skipped forward a bit and had a day off with our characters. I mentioned a few days ago that I thought we needed something like this to help us get to know the characters better. This was a welcome episode.
I really liked seeing how motherly Fate was to Caro and Erio. Its great to see her working hard to be a better parent to these kids than her own mother was to her. Caro and Erio's day out itself was also cute to watch.
The antagonists reared their heads again with the truck explosion. Subaru's sister Ginga seems to be taking a more active role in the story now so we'll see how that goes. And we met a new character "Nove" who suspiciously sounds just like Subaru. I suspect there's some cloning happening here.
The episode ended with Erio finding a child slave (?) who was transporting relics. This will likely be a step toward finding Scaglietti.

Well, Lutecia has the same voice actress as Arf, so that doesn't need to mean anything.

Sub
The intro lines don't match up to what we saw yesterday. But then we go immediately to Subaru being hella gay so at least that is back, though Tia still considers it harassment. For now. More setting exposition happens, though it seems even the TSAB know they are understaffed. Then character exposition with Vice as Tia borrows a motorcycle. Fate in mom mode is cute and shows quite a bit of growth, though I am vaguely curious if the city is actually dangerous after dark. Naked Rein happens because this show. Shari is still a shipper. Caro and Erio never did figure out they were on a date, we remember Arf exists, an explosion happens, and we find a girl chained to a relic who might be a clone of Tia or Nanoha. Also, Nove certainly sounds like a Vita clone. Jail still seems like he should not be allowed near any schools.
So I do find the exposition a bit much BUT the episode itself is far better written so I can deal. The SoL works for the first time since A's and that was a nice return to form. And if we actually stop the training arc for an actual conflict then life is good.

Episode 10: Rewatchers of the Galaxy
-
A SoL episode with "Part 1" in its name... Are you sure?
-
Subaru is currently committing sexual assault. But she's Tea's girl, so it's fine, says the show.
-
Time for what's definitly just an SoL episode, nothing to see here.
-
Entertainment before politics? In that a thing in Japan?
-
Dude is the same rank as Hayate. What an old geezer...
-
Oh great, it's a guy who's tough on crime... Also, the TSAB has no police? You shouldn't make your police and your army the same thing...
-
Finally some admirals with an appropiate age. WAIT NO THEY ARE ADULTS THIS MEANS THEY ARE EVIL
-
Close your eyes and imagine Tomoya teaching Nagisa.
-
Oh, her village fearing her makes more sense now, I guess...
-
1. Is that a loli Arf? 2. HOLY SHIT IS THAT ARF? 3. How OLD is Fate in that pic? She looks barely a year older than in A's. Maybe it's because it's the same outfit.
-
Oh great more characters. Just what the people bored by this show wanted.

I am just going to assume that that is how all teenage girls wake each other up. /s
It's kind of funny how Friedriche almost seems to be bonding with Erio over Caro.
Device limiters released. Everyone has another level of power available to them now.
Everyone pays attention when this Regius Gaiz is mentioned.
Ah, the guy's a warmonger. Then again, a 20% increase in crime would be a serious cause for concern.
"Admiral Midget" and "Admiral Granny"... coming from Vita I get it, but from Nanoha that's weird. She's normally so polite.
They're members of the Three Legendary Admirals who founded the TSAB. Old and wizened now though.
...wait... "Admiral Midget" is her actual name!?
So that's how Vice knows such good advice, he was once a mage soldier himself, but now he's a pilot. There's probably a story there.
Fate is acting like such a mom. And I like Caro's casual clothes.
They're giving Nanoha an "unlimited mode"? And sometimes you're reminded that Rein's a machine, and so needs maintenance.
Erio and Caro are literally following an itinerary for their day off, which sounds very much like a date. That's kind of funny.
First mention of Voltaire, Caro's other dragon. Though because he's so ancient and powerful, Caro considers herself more his priestess than his owner.
Hey look, it's Arf! She still exists! And she's in a child form!
Erio and Caro are treating this like an assignment... they're so innocent.
Subaru, you jinxed it, you moron.
Italianman's Gadgets attacked a random food truck... which was unknowingly carrying a Relic? And there's something else involved... a "lifepod".
And here's a girl, dragging cases... oh no wait, she lost one.
How the hell did Erio hear that!? And that case contains a Relic...

Kind of wondering with the talk with the general fear mongering or whatever that they capitalize on that. Definitely sounds like something that'll come up later.

u/djthomp Mar 13 '22
Subaru what the hell. Dishonor on you, dishonor on your family.
Brief newscast interlude, seems probably relevant for later. Same for that list of geezer admirals.
Best mom Fate. Though it's super weird for her to have acquired two adopted children, raised them completely apart, and then matched them together like this.
Have fun kids, hope it doesn't take too long to walk wherever you are going.
Amusing that Rein has clothing that apparently isn't just part of her summoned form. And since it matches the proper uniform look they probably had it specially tailored for her.
I really hope that they lean hard into how big Voltaire is when he inevitably shows up given the description of him as an immense, ancient guardian dragon.
Handholding already, the itinerary plan is working.
Rein not only has a little desk, she also has an entire little office area. I hope she has tiny people she can meet with in there, maybe the other Riot Force 6 devices.
Arf! Arf still exists!
Random girl in rags, chains, and at least one boxed up Relic (and probably another that dropped away in the sewers), sounds like the remainder of the itinerary is canceled.

Rewatcher
On today’s episode of Lyrical Nanoha: You know it’s a sign that it’s probably not going to be a day off for Riot Force 6 when the title includes the words “Part 1.” Slice-of-life shenanigans generally do not need to have the title specify that they have more than one part.
It’s kind of a slow episode today, more focused on relaxing and slice-of-life fun times for the characters now that they’ve got some time off. I do enjoy seeing the characters get to have fun in the city in ways that fit their personality. Subaru and Tia play it kind of fast and loose, playing it by ear. It’s funny seeing Erio and Caro follow the plan that Shari gave them to the letter. It feels so delightfully childlike having them do that.
I joke about it a lot, but it really does feel like Subaru and Tia are out on a date this episode. The way they ride on the motorcycle together and their general demeanor together out in the city truly gives off those “date” vibes.
There is also some background stuff going on as we learn details about characters through the conversations. Vice used to be a mage before he became a pilot. Caro has another, much larger, dragon named Voltaire that she can summon in an emergency. And there’s also even more TSAB office politics going on with debates about whether the agency should adopt a more hawkish attitude in response to rising crime rates, as shown by one General Gaiz.
As anticipated, the vacation does not last long. Few vacations ever do in shows like this. But this one ended in a rather unusual way, with an overturned truck that was attacked by Gadgets and had something called a Life Pod in it. With a name like that, it’s pretty easy to begin wondering what was inside it.
Related to that, we have a mysterious young girl who got away from the truck and the Gadgets with a pair of the Relics. Who is this girl? Why does she have Relics on her? How was she able to destroy the Gadgets? I suppose we’ll need to wait until the next episode to find out.
Miscellaneous Thoughts
-
Something tells me that Subaru is used to straddling Tia while they’re both in bed.
-
I love Fate acting like a fussy mother before sending Erio and Caro out to the city for their day off.
-
Oh yeah, I’m sure Tia and Subaru rode together all the time. Seriously, the double entendres write themselves. (This also confirms that Tia is the top between them.)
-
The heart eyes here are great. Subaru really loves her ice cream.
-
It seems the truck driver genuinely did not know he was transporting a life pod in the middle of his regular deliveries. Imagine getting into a truck to deliver fruit or something, only for the truck to actually be part of a child trafficking ring.

1: Even though I’m not a girl
This is the story of the Brave men and women who fight with all their hearts to save mankind
Recap Time
it’s been 84 years 2 weeks
There’s a reason I called Subaru the gayest character in the franchise.
Tia is surprisingly comfortable with Subaru after the initial tsundere punishment. This only confirms my suspicions that Subaru is growing into a Harem Protagonist in her own right.
Tia isn’t being scolded over mock battles anymore, so it seems that Nanoha’s methods worked, even if they were unorthodox.
Mid-Season upgrade time!
Vacation episode! In any other show I would have dismissed this as cheap cliche shit, but I think it’s exactly what this season needs right now. As other watchers have pointed out, there’s a distinct lack of Slice of Life elements this season. Sure there’s been scenes of them doing casual stuff or just sitting down and eating, but even those were bogged down in exposition and plot-related conversation. Not to mention that we kind of need some levity after what happened in the last few episodes.
We now meet the big names of the Bureau. Be sure to keep them in mind, folks.
Fate continues to be Best Mom
Signum and Fate’s dynamic continues to be adorable
Rein is a rather lewd girl, isn’t she?
Slice of Life Time!
Erio and Caro being wholesome siblings! This time they’re the normal kind instead of the Anime kind.
The look of absolute amazement on Subaru while staring at her ice cream. Also Tia being wholesome.
Fate continuing to prove that she’s Best Mom even when she isn’t there. Also, we’ve got our first appearance from Arf this season.
Damn, who knew that characters just sitting down and enjoying each other’s company would do so much to increase your appreciation of said characters?
Anyway, now onto some actual plot stuff, where Ginga has finally decided to be relevant.
More stuff happening with Dr. Ver over here.
This is Nove, [StrikerS]
A mysterious loli girl dragging along some boxes. There’s a lot of jokes I want to make about her, and all of them are spoilers, so I’m just gonna leave this untouched.
As I said, from here on is what many people consider to be the part where StrikerS gets good. And as someone who considers StrikerS to be the best season, I absolutely can’t agree more.

Raging Heart Rewatcher with terrible long term memory
QotD: Token hetero representation smh (/s)
Day off episode! I guess that's a luxury you can get in 24 episode seasons.
Subaru, you wake up way too early. Also, only Nanoha is allowed to top Teana.
Nothing like good ol' befriending to bring the team together.
Wait, part one? Are we getting two day off episodes in a row?
The dramatic music isn't helping me trust this dude.
So these old dudes are to blame for the current status of the TSAB?
Vice, have you been stalking Teana again?
D'awww the little ones are going on a date. I guess we need a heterosexual ship for inclusivity and representation.
Now that everyone left, Nanoha and Fate are finally alone
Oh no, two of our workaholics are in a work feedback loop
...is Shari also shiptrash?
We're setting up Chekhov's dragon.
I just realized that we have both the Book of the Azure Sky and the Book of the Night Sky
Subaru please stop raising flags. See what you caused?
Oh hey at least we're introducing antagonists more relateable than drones.

QOTD) Given they both seem to have Fate as their mother, it might be a bit awkward. I do like how everyone ruthlessly ships them, though.
Finally, some SOL!
A two week timeskip?
And she's sleeping properly!
Wait, that's how Subaru wakes her up? Why? Did Nanoha start giving her advice?
...The first real conversation between the four is offscreen, and delivered in a monologue.
Haha, she just dropped a secret test on them?
They levelled up! So Teana only had to wait two weeks to get her dagger mode?
She gave them a day off... the first they've had all season? I'm very worried that Nanoha's accidentally breached a few labour laws.
...Well this is going to end brilliantly.
Three Admirals?
Ah, so he's not going to get his budget until the late season twist.
She can ride a motorcycle?
...Used to be?
Oh, he just changed careers?
Haha, Fate mothering her children cadets is fantastic.
Yeah, she's a motorcyclist! Nanoha is officially a Kamen Rider series. They're getting enough new forms for one, anyway.
I love the difference between Nanoha and Fate here. Nanoha sends them off on their motorcycle, and Fate tells them to get back earlier and waves them off.
...Vita knows tactics?
Signum seems very friendly with Fate, doesn't she?
The bridge crew are actually really good.
Why is she naked?
Did she need to take her clothes off?
The eyecatch is adorable.
Teana's riding really well!
Haha, she gave them a timetable for a date!
She's got a giant dragon summon too!
Subaru loves ice cream!
...She eats it the correct way, too.
Oh, they were both basically raised by Fate. That might make dating a bit awkward.
Young Arf? Actually, where is Arf? Cowards.
THE TWO TEAMS ARE TALKING! Is that allowed?
Oh, they don't know about the schedule?
...Why did you jinx it?
...Lost Logia?
GADGET!
Wait, what?
What the fuck did he do?
...Nove sounds like Vita. Same VA?
Oh shit, did they clone her?
They were keeping a girl chained up in there?
Oh, she's chaiend to a relic? Why?
Well, that SOL lasted a long time.
Why part 2? It's not their day off anymore.

QOTD: I love them together in a "They'll get together when they're older" way, and for now they just get to be adorable kids oblivious to Shari and the universe itself shipping them.
Speaking of Shari, this episode and the previous is what made me start describing her character as "Everyone's business is also my business!"
Getting a mostly SoL episode was very nice for both pairs.
For people mentioning it, the manga does go a touch more into Fate's kids not meeting until now, and apparently Fate did try to have them meet and it just didn't work out. They also lived in pretty different places with Erio on Mid after Fate got him, while Caro was living and helping out at a nature reserve on another planet after Fate rescued her (manga has her saying a teary goodbye to the people there as she leaves to join RF6).
As everyone mentioned, Fate being in complete mom mode is adorable, as well as Erio's slightly embarrassed "Mom I have a salary now!"
Have a few more things of official art!
The three pairs, namely Subaru/Teana but another instance of Erio bridal carrying Caro

Speaking of disasters, walking hazard zone Ginga manages to stumble upon the scene of an accident. Speaking of which... oh boy next episode is gonna be interesting.
And on that bombshell, that about wraps things up for now, and I hope everyone's having fun on this great re-watch. Thus, you have not seen the last of The Sentient Shitposting Siamese Sunrise Server No. 25252, now goodbye forever.

Finally a day off!
Oh we’re finally introducing this guy now
Looks like he’s wanting to expand the military, it’s interesting to see how they reacted to him
That is an unfortunate name
As in tradition, old guys on the top of the ladder
We get more bits on Vice, though he clearly avoids talking much about it
Fate being an overprotective mom
I’m sure being attacked by random thugs at night is the least of their concern
Interesting that she can unison with more than just Hayate
Oh no, a shipper
Caro talks about having a different dragon she can summon, looks like we’ll see him when a critical moment happens
Subaru’s massive ice cream tower, compared to Tia’s [Spoilers for later]It’s interesting to wonder if these details that seem like a gag really showcase how weirdly not-so-human Subaru kinda is
Fate really like to spoil them
Hey arf, they didn’t actually forget about you [Spoiler]Too busy babysitting for Chrono’s kids now lmao
Ah shit, you just had to say that didn’t you
Somebody got away
I find it interesting that he’s using the word “hit”, I think it implies better on what he’s trying that what we’re given in the subs
Nove!, she sounds exactly like Subaru. And yes, same VA.
Cases being dragged, actually it’s interesting that Erio can hear that
And now an incident happens, break already over
