If they were not being held back by laws that limit their magic, Nanoha and Fate would probably knock down all the antagonists in this season on first encounter. Well, they never actually got to see most of them face to face in battle because the four recruits were the ones tanking most of the first encounters and beyond.
reminds me of an old piece of fanart of the three girls solving a maze. The ever proper and serious Fate goes through it the normal way, the clever and sneaky Hayate considers the white space outside as a part of the puzzle and goes around the outside, and then Nanoha just goes straight through.
And bear in mind, the Saint's Cradle was designed to shunt magical power within it, meaning that what hit Quattro was _maybe_ about 20-25% of the whole payload.
Only after she saved her beloved daughter, Nanoha took a different route to Fate when it came to kids, Fate was more hands off, thou in the Strikers series, you get to see how kind she has become!
"oh dear mother of god..." that's when Quattro understands that she F*cked up. doesn't matter where you hide or how protected you are. nanoha can find you and blast you into oblivion.
I like it how the magical girl basically goes limiters-released, safety-off, full-clip, friendly-fire-off, dispersal pattern beta, no-holds-barred approach with what is basically a MAGICAL SPLASH FLARE nuke.
The thing that's even scarier about this is that it's only a Divine Buster. Nanoha has bigger spells in her arsenal; she's just trying to avoid using them so her core doesn't get overburdened again.
@@pfeilspitze Divine Buster actually uses Nanoha's own magical reserves and is one of her most strenuous spells. Starlight Breaker *can* be a more powerful spell, but it requires her to draw from the residual magic in the surroundings.
@gamenernelite1826 true.... and thats kinda hard for her in this clip since I'm pretty sure theirs an active amf (anti magic field) up in the ship, so.... if she's gonna overkill anything its gonna be that amf... if she hits the one who's done pissed her off most in the process then... 2 birds one stone
