Saimoe 2007 Group Finals Preview
Group C
Nanoha Takamachi
How she got here:
1st Round: Defeated Yutaka Kobayakawa 960-952
2nd Round: Defeated Chika Ito 942-574
3rd Round: Defeated Lunar Edomae 1746-1702
Age 19
Title Time-Space Administration Bureau (TSAB) Armed Forces Tactical Instructor
rank Captain
Home world Earth
Affiliations TSAB
Nanoha Takamachi has a strong aptitude in magic, a rarity for those born on Earth, amongst these numbered few are Gil Graham, Hayate Yagami, and possibly her own father. She is a quick learner in the magical arts and exceeds expectations consistently throughout the series. In Nanoha, instead of having a familiar of her own creation, she is partnered with another mage named Yūno Scrya from Mid-childa, who can shapeshift into a ferret. Her weapon is an artificially intelligent staff called Raising Heart.
Nanoha is the primary Combat Instructor for the 6th Mobile Division of Time-Space Administration Bureau's Special Management, and also the commander of record for the "Stars" squad in the field.
Forcing her magical ability to increase at an accelerated rate via intensive self-training, in addition to the strain resulting from repeatedly channeling the additional magical energy from the cartridge system added to Raising Heart in A's, eventually resulted in Nanoha's body suffering severe internal damage that revealed itself during the near-fatal incident depicted in the manga. Nanoha was hospitalized for some time as a result, and her doctors originally feared she would never be able to even walk again. Eventually, however, she did recover enough to resume active duty with the TSAB. As a result of this, she has intentionally designed the 6th Mobile's training regimen to ensure the same thing will not happen to the members of the Stars and Lightning squads.
Sandwiched between two tough victories for Nanoha (Yutaka and Lunar) is a comfortable win. Already battle-tested, Nanoha, also known as “The White Devil” for her gentle nature, yet powerful attacks as a mage, is looking to advance to the round of 8, after Fate Testarossa (now Fate T. Harlaown) halted her progress.
Vita
How she got here:
1st Round: Defeated Aono Morimiya 783-600
2nd Round: Defeated Matsuri Shiho 778-760
3rd Round: Defeated Miyako 1121-1096
Age: Apparently 8, actual creation date unknown
Magic system: Belka
Weapon: Graf Eisen
Master: Hayate Yagami
Vita is one of the Wolkenritter, a creation of the Book of Darkness. She is the most devoted of the four to Hayate Yagami, their mistress. Vita's weapon is a mallet called Graf Eisen, and as a magical creation, she has no familiar.
Vita has not aged, considering her nature as a computer program, and still lives with the other Wolkenritter and Hayate, posing as a relative.
Second Lieutenant Vita is sub-commander of the Stars Squad in the TSAB, working directly under Nanoha, who, in turn, obeys Hayate. She and the other Wolkenritter were kept close to Hayate and each other-- Shamal and Zafira are support, Signum is with the Lightning Squad-- because they work most effectively as a team.
Vita is also battle-tested, with close victories in the second and third rounds. Since she does not age, she is popular with those who have a fetish for everything loli, and it is because of that, combined with the punch of Graf Eisen, that has landed her in this group final.
What to expect:
Insanity! This, like Group A, will be a final that divides voter lines. Vita has some old scores to settle for not being able to lift a finger to Nanoha in her recent battles with her, though she was able to succeed once, to an extent. Meanwhile, Nanoha look for redemption, after being halted by Fate. Will it be déjà vu all over again? Or will Nanoha the White Devil prevail once more.
I predict that it will come down to the wire, but Vita gets it done. There’s a chance that I will be proven wrong, though, as Nanoha’s voters will attest.
BoBA predicts:
Vita by less than 80 votes
