I liked the title for that poll.

These are a bit earlier because I have stuff tomorrow.

カヴァーチャ&クンダーラ
日輪よ、具足となれ

ランク:A
種別:対人(自身)宝具
レンジ:0
最大捕捉:1人
カルナの母クンティーが未婚の母となることに恐怖を感じ、
息子を守るためにスーリヤに願って与えた黄金の鎧と耳輪。
太陽の輝きを放つ、強力な防御型宝具である。
光そのものが形となった存在であるため、神々でさえ破壊は困難。
カルナの肉体と一体化している。
Kavacha and Kundala
O Sun, Become Armor

Rank: A
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 0
Maximum Targets: 1
Fearing becoming an unmarried mother, Karna's mother, Kunti, for the sake of protecting her son, begged Surya for protection and was bestowed golden armor and an earring.
Emitting the radiance of the sun, the armor is a strong defensive Noble Phantasm.
As it is an existence formed from light even gods find it difficult to destroy.
It has become one with Karna's body.

Karna Armor. Rolls off the tongue well. In CCC it has the 1/10th of conceptual and physical damage thing. It has it here as well, but it's not mentioned in the stat page which is a bummer. I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in Vol 2 when he is fighting Vlad.
Karna Armor's rank was one of the most anticipated things for me. The JP wiki had it as EX since CCC came out and I was wondering if I had missed something and that was the case and the reason for Karna's EX NP rank since God Spear was just A++. Personally I pegged it at A++ because it was a Divine Construct and what seemed to be the result of Divine Spirit Thaumaturgy. Welp, we were all wrong. So here it is in all it's A-rank glory then.

ブラフマーストラ・クンダーラ
梵天よ、我を呪え

ランク:A+
種別:対国宝具
レンジ:2~90
最大捕捉:600人
カルナがバラモンのパラシュラーマから授け対国宝具。
クラスがアーチャーなら弓、他のクラスなら別の飛び道具として顕現する。
カルナ属性である炎熱の効果を付与された一撃は核兵器に例えられるほど。
Brahmastra Kundala
O Brahma, Curse Me

Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Country
Range: 2-90
Maximum Targets: 600 people
The Anti-Country Noble Phantasm Karna got from the Brahman Parashurama.
It is a bow if his class is Archer, in other classes it manifests as a projectile.
Granted Karna's fiery attribute one blow is likened to a nuclear weapon.

So this entry combines both normal Brahmastra and fire version's from CMIV. I'm no expert of Indian Myth so does anyone one know if the curse still applies to this? Anyway, first Anti-Country but we all knew that. Again I thought it was going to be A++ or even A+++ actually. But it's A+ so yeah. A trivia note, it's a Damage Over Time attack in CCC only because Nasu kept dying to the original one which was a nuke and complained about it.

Last NP is blurred but we all know what it is.

Either way, basically no change from CMIV at all.

So Karna's NPs done. Have you ever been really sure about something but then you were completely wrong. Karna's NPs are that to me. It's a weird feeling; but that's how life is. I'm sure I'll be even more shocked when God Spear's rank comes out. I wonder if it does turn into EX when made with the armor like food thinks, or will it be A++ like in CCC and Karna's NP rank just makes no sense. I'm hoping for the later because I like it being A++. Thoughts?

Oh and Clocktower 2015 came out. On learning that along with everyone else from Koto, I downloaded my copy and then realized it was secured. Also you can't Ctrl-F it on Adobe Reader. Either way, I didn't read it, instead the first thing I did was look up some words and stuff. Either way, lore revelations everywhere. It's really interesting. Actually it's more sad but interesting nevertheless.

So welcome to a new era of Sakura powerlevels?

ライノール・グシオン希少とされる虚数属性を持つ魔術師だ。
簡単かつ乱暴に言えば、次元の隙間に手を突っ込めるダイバーである。
無いがあるとされる虚数空間は次元ポケットのようなもので、中に落ちたものは空間にも時間にもとらわれない モノになる。
彼はその特性をタイムカプセルとして利用した。
Reinol Gusion is a magus who possess the rare Imaginary Numbers attribute.
Basically, he is a diver who thrusts his hand into a dimensional crevice.
Although it's different, Imaginary Number space is similar to a pocket dimension. Things that fall into it cannot be affected by time and space.
He uses this characteristic as a time capsule.

First on the name Reinol. It was hard finding it. Well food already named him this, but I wasn't sure so I looked around google with the katakana and found an actor called Reinol Martinez who was in 1995's Desperado. Does anyone know what the origin of the name is, Spanish or something else?

Secondly, I wanted to do this part because well, it's lore revelations, and Altima went kind of crazy when he found out that he had info on Imaginary Numbers and didn't really.

Either way I don't think this changes Sakura Powerlevels because her element was changed. However Dark Sakura did use Imaginary Numbers. Anyway Sakura could have definitely used something like this if her element wasn't changed and she was still a Tohsaka. I mean how Reinol uses it isn't even like a spell, it's just an inherent property of his element.
Imaginary Elements stronk.
Is it like Kamui from Naruto. Yes, yes it is, isn't it? I say like, not is. Maybe it's because Naruto came out today that my first thought was Kamui when I was looking through this.

Now the second thing:
魔術全体の共通常識類感魔術と感染魔術、地脈、マナ学。。。を五年ほど学び、その後に家どとに受け継いだ. ..
Out of Magecraft's entirety, the most common of common, sympathetic magecraft and contagious magecraft, Leylines, Mana... I studied these for five years. After that I became the head of the household...

The rest is about Flauros life some interesting stuff like how he joined the Astrology department.

It's a continuation to the passage about the magecraft departments that the tweeter didn't add.
This really big thing in here is that the most basic magecraft is sympathetic and contagious magecraft.
Like Nasu read the Golden Bough and was like this is going to be the basis of magecraft. inb4 Caster Frazer, or there was some giant Association conspiracy to kill him. I don't know what that means to you but I was like "wowwwwwww, this is some mindblowing shit" when I saw that. Actually at first I spent like 10 minutes googling what contagious magic was. I thought it was like pathogenic magecraft lol.
Anyway magus undergrad, at least for Flauros, was 5 years, that's cool as well.

Next time is something everyone's been waiting for no doubt. Achilles, and how overpowered he is.

    Armor NPs are always ranked like that. See God Hand or Andres Amarantos, those have divine origins too and are both B (and overpowered too.)

    And I think Japan argues that the way Vasavi Shakti is used in CCC is probably not how it is supposed to (as it seems to be using the Prana Burst in some way and doesn't match with the whole spear of lighting gimmick) so we will see when Apocrypha Material comes out.

    But those are blessings. Also Armor of Fafnir has a +. Don't see why armor can't have +s.

    What I meant is that is pretty odd for an armor or body protection to be above B so I'm even impressed Nasu gave it A given past records. Also, it is funny how the Armor of Fafnir + is like the only one actually explained in the text. Making a comparison, given how fixated it is K&K's effect it makes sense for it to not have +s (well, you could argue that it could be EX, but for me that would only make sense if it got a unattackable attribute like Avalon.)

    About Imaginary Numbers, a lot of what BB does in CCC seems to be this on steroids. Taking control of the Moon Cell by placing herself in unlimited time, the basis of the Sakura Labyrinth or how the CCC itself is about quantifying nothingness.

    If the Moon Cell Core is a cell where the light of heavenly fire is imprisoned, this is the Garden of the Fallen, built from imaginary numbers.
    ...
    Though we call it an arena, that place is still the far side of the moon…a “world that is not,” constructed from imaginary numbers.
    Yeah, considering the Far Side is made of Imaginary Numbers.

    You're talking about the NP that doesn't even exist in the real myth. So fuck it.

    I seriously want to just strangle Nasu. Why in the world would you not just make up some more things about the water element if you wanted to say that she couldn't use it, instead of being vague, naming a mystic code you won't explain, and then make some random magus who just so happens to have this rare element just because....

    But since he does have her use things like voids, although in a limited scope, and there were those jokes of her putting Rider in the alternate dimension in the AATM drama cd... fuck him imma say she still can use it, because he still makes things really vague.

    At least that is more descriptive than, "that which exists, but not on this plane", which could have meant fuck all.

    But forgive the rant You, thank you very much. And to IRUn too, would have missed this without him posting the link.

    About Reinol, it seems like an adaptation of Raynold, so probably from Latin America. If I had to bet, I'd say probably Mexico, because they are one of the countries that had adapted the most english words to spanish. *quick google search* Yup, it's mexican. It can also be spelled as Reynol, Reinold or Reynold.
  10. You's Avatar
    Okay cool. Thanks for that. I wonder what the connection between the names Lev and Reinol is then.

    Also Flauros's family is from BC era, he set up his own research institution, and he's a "Grand Owner," which sounds grander than a Second Owner, so he is supposed to be a fucking important character, as they say.

    I was checking the japanese wiki and I probably missed it, but it seems that during Apocrypha vol.2 Kavacha and Kundala showed a pretty strong regenerative effect on Karna too that let him to recover immediately even in the middle of combat. This armor, seriously.
