Nanoha Vivid -- ep 5

/images/08276.jpg

We begin with some back story, which I'll skip. Then the adults do some high intensity training, and we get an extended onsen scene, with a sneak attack. Finally, we prepare for a big battle the next day, and next episode.

Nanoha fires "Sacred Cluster", a new attack.

And Teana shoots them all. Meanwhile, Subaru uses Wing Road to go up after Nanoha.

Caro certainly has been doing some training; she didn't used to have that kind of range attack.

All of this is very surprising for Einhart, who had no idea that all the people she'd been hanging out with were so powerful. Vivio gets Einhard and they sneak away and do some training together.

Sein is one of the numbers, currently working for the church. Her "Inherent Skill" is called "Deep Diver" and it permits her to fly through solid matter and water as if it was air. She shows up with groceries, and Lutecia's mom teases her and gets her to pull a prank.

Everyone else is in Lutecia's outdoor bath enjoying themselves. Sein starts flying around under water, trying to touch each and every one once. She ends with Rio and does some serious groping.

Big mistake. Like Vivio and Einhart, Rio has an adult mode. Her device Sol activates and she transforms into her combat mode and... Sein gets kicked into the next county. (Good thing she's a cyborg; that kick would have killed a flesh-and-blood.)

Well, everyone chews Sein out, and for penance she agrees to cook dinner that night and then cook breakfast. (She is known to be a good cook.)

And then they all prepare for the team battle the next day. Lutecia has created an intelligent device for Corona, and the two of them go out early the next morning so Corona can activate it and practice a bit.

And then they divide into teams, picked by Nove. I must say the division is very nice:

Blue team: Nanoha, Eriol, Subaru, Lutecia, Vivio, Rio

Red team: Fate, Teana, Nove, Caro, Einhard, Corona

Each team has one flyer (Nanoha, Fate) and one near-flyer (Subaru, Nove who has something similar to Wing Road). Each has one summoner (though I assume they won't be doing any summoning). Each has one cyborg. Each has two lolis. Blue team doesn't have any equivalent of Teana's illusions (advantage Red), but on the other hand Corona is an unknown because it'll be her very first battle with her device (advantage Blue, maybe?).

Corona says the adults all will be wearing power limiters, so it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.

1 I hope we'll be seeing that first picture in the rotation someday.

2 Of course, but it's too soon to plunder this show, with only five eps out of probably 2 cours.
