Intro to the Commentary Members

[The Movie 1st] is the story of the meeting between Takamachi Nanoha and Fate Testarossa. The [StrikerS] members will be in charge of commentary!

Subaru Nakajima (19)

CV: Saitou Chiwa

Currently a Fire Sergeant/Leading Private with the Harbor/Bay Security Forces'. (alt tran: coast guard)

When she was young, she was rescued by Nanoha after getting trapped in an airport fire and thereafter she aimed to become a Rescue specialist herself.

She then joined [Mobile Six] and became a student of Nanoha, after the decommissioning of Mobile Six she fulfilled her goal/dream by joining the Special Rescue Squad/Team.

When on the job is she completely professional, but privately around her friends she’s the same/merry as always.

Teana Lanster (20)

CV: Nakahara Mai

An Enforcer/Commissioned Officer with Headquarters.

Has been with Subaru since their time at Training School and until the decommission/demobilization of Mobile Six, has always been paired/partnered with Subaru in the same team.

Was the leader of the [Forward Team] which consisted of Subaru, Erio and Caro.

Lately, she has been unusually easygoing (alt trans: easy to get involved with). It’s probably thanks to the influence Subaru, Caro and the entire Nakajima family has had, but she herself doesn’t quite know/recall how it happened.

Erio Mondial (14)

CV: Marina Inoue

Works at the Remote/Frontier Nature Conservation Corps as a dragon rider Knight.

Fate is his guardian, and has a sibling like relationship with Caro.

Recently has been increasingly showing off to Caro, but it seems Caro enjoys it, Fate and those who looked after him first are smiling rather knowingly and thinking/wondering if that’s all there is to it or if there’s more. (bad trans: Jap text: 近頃ますますキャロに振り回される日々が続いているが、キャロが楽しそうなのと、フェイトをはじめ見守ってくれる人達がにこにこしちるので、まあこれでいいのかなと思ったり思わなかったり。)

Lately has gone a growth spurt (alt trans: has grown in height a lot).

Caro ru Lushe

CV: Mikako Takahashi

Is a member at the Remote/Frontier Nature Conservation Corps. and work as a dragon summoner. Has left her beloved familiar/dragon Fried at home today.

Her up-to-standard boke and nori(mainly against Erio and Lutecia) is getting sharper and sharper. (trans note: Thanks to Animesuki erneiz_hyde for the help)

Because Erio is stealing her share of height (according to her), her height has remained the same (alt trans: she hasn’t grown in height at all)

She worries that the young Vivio is going to be taller than her soon and it makes extremely worried/self conscious.

Fate T. Harlaown (23)

CV: Mizuki Nana

An active duty Enforcer for the Bureau. Just like Nanoha, she is participating as a guest commentator as she had been involved in the incident (depicted in the movie).

Is pretty busy looking back at her memories, and is embarrassed/shy about her past self.

Takamachi Vivio (10)

CV: Kaori Mizuhashi

Takamachi Nanoha’s only daughter, currently a fourth grade elementary student at a Magic Academy.

Gets along with the Forward team and everyone else. Knows Nanoha and Fate’s personality very well, enthusiastically/cheerfully participating in the commentaries.

Takamachi Nanoha (23)

CV: Yukari Tamura

Currently 23 years old and currently active duty/working as a magic teacher/instructor for Air Combat Tactics.

14 years ago, she and her best friend Fate fondly recall how they met for the first time, participating in commentary.

Magic Dictionary

Stinger Blade

A spell that create many magical blades, the spell can be shot/discharged to destroy multiple targets.

It also possible to have each individual blade target a different, unique target.

It is difficult to defend efficiently against this attack of magical blades due to its target control, and is an extremely effective mass group/anti personnel attack.

Recovery

It possible for a technician to repair damage done to a device by providing mana to it.

Linis/Linith, who designed Bardiche exclusively for Fate, made sure that should anything happen, it would be able to continue protecting its Master Fate. Thus it was built with strong/durable/reinforced frame/body and a highly mana efficient Recovery feature/function.

It would allow Fate to advance forward straight on the path she must take.

Thus bearing the hopes/wishes of its creator/designer, the axe of brilliant light answers/grants those feelings/emotions and wishes tasked to it no matter what (alt trans: in the face of adversity)

Thunder Rage (2)

[An extremely powerful spell that is unleashed after casting a Lock On Bind] it is an especially accurate spell. When the attacker and defender are exchanging in close combat, attacker’s target will instantly lose all its strength if the spell successful. (bad translation)

Thunder Smasher & Divine Buster

Though the nature/property of the bombardment magic differs, both are overwhelming attack/shooting magic meant (alt trans: with a high chance of penetrating) penetrate the target’s powerful defensive barrier shield.

When the two first fired their attacks together, their bombardment attack on the robot/puppet weapons/soldiers were utterly in tune/perfect with the other.

Dimensional Fault/Dislocation

The disintegration of a space, in particular, a notably sudden/precipitous disintegration is known as a [Dimensional Avalanche] which is a large disaster/calamity.

Everything within the area of the disintegrating space begins [falling] and crumbling apart/collapse.

It’s is extremely difficult to predict/estimate how long the dislocation will continue (alt trans: How far the dislocation will go), but it is possible that multiple/several worlds can fall victim/become affected by the large scale disaster/calamity, it is a dangerous phenomenon.

Alicia/Alyssia Testarossa

It is impossible to resurrect the dead, even with Project FATE.

However, through Precia’s effort she has birthed Fate from Alicia’s cells/DNA, she is without a doubt, a completely new/independent life/person and is arguably Alicia’s [little sister].

If Alicia survived/continued to live, Fate would never had been born.

With her Mother and older sister now dead/gone, Fate is left by herself in this world. And so she faces a long future where she must reflect/think upon her mother, older sister, and what to do with her life without them.

Farewell/Parting

The two girls, who met, fought, misunderstood each other utterly, and finally come to an understanding.

The girl who reached out with her hand and feelings, and the girl who reached out to take/accept it.

They exchange ribbons to remember each other by as the two share tears and smiles as they bid each other farewell.

(Trans note: Being a little poetical here. But I think it captures the mood best)
