This is a page for wild mass guesses from the series Lyrical Nanoha which have been Jossed by the series or Word of God. If a WMG on one of the open pages is Jossed, please move it here.
Please add new Jossed entries to the bottom of the page.
- This makes a lot of sense. Not sure whether the sound stages have anything that contradicts it, though.
- Potentially contradicted by Part 5 of Striker Sound Stage 3, where Agito notes that Lutecia initially didn't answer her unless she "call(ed) out a lot" (although it might have been via telepathy). In Sound Stage X, her phone beeping catches her attention, and she picks it up and has a conversation with Vivio (albeit presumably with video links). In Episode 22, she turns to look at the hologram screen when Quattro calls her.
- On the other hand regarding Sound Stage 3, Lutecia not responding to Agito's calls despite Agito screaming her head off could be seen as another proof of this. After all, this is a sound drama. How are we sure that Lutecia responded because she heard Agito, instead of say... her seeing Agito apparently shouting something? Now, the video links are a little harder to fit. Maybe besides having audio and video transmission capabilities, they 're also capable of psychic transmissions?
- The holographic consoles seem to be sound-based, as Erio and Caro can hear what Quattro's saying (Erio reacts angrily to her statement that she's using the Villain Override on Lutecia, and the two learn Lutecia's name despite Lutecia not introducing herself like Caro and Erio did), and Quattro is moving her mouth (while Lutecia could potentially read lips, her voice got her attention).
- Potentially contradicted by Part 5 of Striker Sound Stage 3, where Agito notes that Lutecia initially didn't answer her unless she "call(ed) out a lot" (although it might have been via telepathy). In Sound Stage X, her phone beeping catches her attention, and she picks it up and has a conversation with Vivio (albeit presumably with video links). In Episode 22, she turns to look at the hologram screen when Quattro calls her.
- Chapter 8 of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Vi Vid has her react to Megane calling her verbally, so this one's jossed.
- She could have a Cochlear implant, or at least something similar.
- It's entirely possible that Tohma will turn out to be unintentionally causing a lot of problems by having Lily come with him and is mainly concerned about protecting her, while Nanoha and the rest of the TSAB are pursuing him to stop the problems without knowing why he's so devoted to Lily (Basically, like if A's had the Wolkenritter as the main characters, but in this case, the scientists and the people behind them might turn out to be the real villains).
- Jossed; a man with a gun like Tohma's shows up, demanding that Tohma hand over the Divider, and Tohma recognizes him as one of the people who destroyed his hometown. This doesn't mean that Tohma won't have to fight/run from Fate, Teana and/or Signum, though.
- Jossed. She is also shown writing with her left hand. But it can also be that she is so powerful that a pen would blow up only for contact with the White Devil's right hand.
- That must be it.
- Has anyone who knows Japanese seen the second sound stage? While I don't think it says anything about Linith's fate, Track 15, (I think its title means "Its Name is Bardiche") may shed light on Bardiche's origins and help discover whether the "Linith is Bardiche" theory is correct.
- Jossed; Precia and Linith had a contract that stated Linith would remain a familiar until Fate was fully trained and Bardiche was complete; Precia didn't want to keep her around any longer than that because of the amount of mana it would take to maintain a familiar of her level. When the contract was fulfilled, Linith vanished.
- Directly contradicted by canon - as acquisition of Lutecia as test subject in flashback is discussed on screen.
- Jossed. The MOVIE 2nd has been announced soon after the first movie's DVD release.
- If this is true, she's probably with Hayate's group, and wants to get more information on why Tohma is doing what he's doing. Alternatively, she could be with Hückebein, as evidenced by Veyron leaving a message to Tohma with her rather than killing her, helping keep Tohma away from the authorities and on whatever plan Hückebein has for him.
- The most recent chapter has her contemplating cutting ties with Tohma out of fear of getting arrested and deported, so this is less likely.
- Jossed in chapter 16: She is actually an AWOL member of Egret Security company.
The reason why the series is being split into two continuities (as opposed to two series in one timeline) is so the viewers can freely ignore whatever elements from the other show they don't want to pay attention to. For instance the Hückebein and the weapon upgrades in Force are apparently shoehorning the heroes into either ditching their magic (which most likely means no more non-lethal attacks since they're using physical energy) or get Curb Stomped like poor Signum, but a magical girl series where magic is effectively useless is kinda... well... yeah. Hence the title change; the Mahou Senki Lyrical Nanoha Force continuity is completing the Genre Shift from magical girl to sci-fi action, but ViVid and all future installments of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is still there to satisfy the fans of the Original Flavor, and since they take place in separate timelines there's no need to write around little things like character deaths.
- So, an Alternate Timeline for Force then, with the divergence point somewhere after StrikerS? That actually makes sense, since judging by Thoma's flashbacks, he was already around during by time of ViVid, yet he is nowhere to be seen. On the other hand, there is no mention of Einhart in Force, either (but then again, she had no reason to appear yet).
- But the new weapons ARE magic-based, just through a different kind of Device meant to get past the Hückebein's defenses. We haven't even gotten a clear visual on what they do yet, or if they can actually kill someone. And how is Force military-based, exactly, when all the main character has done so far is walk around by himself?
- It's military-based the same way ''StrikerS'' is, i.e. the main characters (apart from Tohma so far) are part of a military unit, as opposed to ViVid where Vivio and the crew are superpowered civilians who aren't working for the bureau (yet). And the translations of the weapon design images seem to indicate that they get around the Hückebein's magic immunity by converting magic into physical energy (or so I've heard. I'll be somewhat less disgusted with this series if I'm wrong) as part of the author's wonderfully well-thought out plan to kill off the last of Nanoha's magical girl influences and turn it into a generic sci-fi action series.
- Jossed, both Vivio and Einhart appeared on a preview image of FORCE CH. 17◊ confirming the canon existence of the latter in the FORCE universe.
- Jossed. The A's DVD 5 Booklet contains an entry on Unison Devices, stating that they can create "Internal Space" in order protect their masters if they fall unconscious.
- Jossed as of chapter 20. Signum is back in the fight (at least, partially), while A's movie has been slated for Summer 2012 about the same time.
- At least, to this WMG's credit, i can point that Signum's return in Ch. 20 comes just a couple of weeks before the realease of the first teaser trailer of The MOVIE 2nd A's.
- I think "all" of Japan would feel a bit unrealistic(for the level we're accustomed at least) but i do agree on that Rein Ein's SLB must top Nanoha's, it's one of the crucial moments when we get a shot of how godly powerful Reinforce Eins really is(she's not called the "Female Broly" for nothing). In The MOVIE 1st Nanoha blew and area the size of a small-to-average city, Reinforce can top that one by casting a SLB big enough to engulf a city the size of Tokyo along with some of it's surrounding districts or even an area the scale of a small state.
- Jossed. She never used it in The Movie 2nd A's.
- Jossed. Alicia is two years older than Fate.
