Product Information

Pain to the Ass: While on their way to their Mad Scientist Laboratory for the first time, the Sword Roses are forced to flee a Deadly Gas trap through a passage they already know is full of bowshells—barnacle-like creatures that fire a spike at anything that comes near them. Guy ends up with a bunch of broken-off spikes in his rear. Flamma: A basic combat that creates and launches a fireball. The potency of fire depends upon the amount of mana used in the spell.

Reign of the Seven Spellblades ( 七つの魔剣が支配する, Nanatsu no Maken ga Shihai Suru) is a Japanese light novel series written by Bokuto Uno and illustrated by Ruria Miyuki. ASCII Media Works have published the series since September 2018 under their Dengeki Bunko imprint. A manga adaptation with art by Sakae Esuno was serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's shōnen manga magazine Monthly Shōnen Ace from May 2019 to November 2023. Both the light novel and manga are licensed in North America by Yen Press. An anime television series adaptation by J.C.Staff aired from July to October 2023.Having cut Chloe Halford's death scene from the first episode's opening, the anime adds in several scenes of Oliver meeting with a mysterious figure named Teresa Carste to clue in viewers that there's more to the story than is immediately apparent. Mage Born of Muggles: Pete and Nanao were both born into non-magic families, which in The Magocracy means a significant bump in socioeconomic status (at least for Pete; for Nanao, it just beats being plain dead). It's unclear if there is any specific mechanism that causes this, but it is known that you have to be born a mage: according to the protagonists, no spell exists that can turn Muggles into one. As they spend more time together, Oliver and Nanao's friendship deepens. Their connection is further strengthened when they engage in their first duel. Nanao, captivated by Oliver's proficiency honed through training, experience, and emotions, finds herself drawn to him. The duel allows her to witness firsthand the essence of Oliver's unique style, causing her heart to flutter with excitement.

Joseph Albright had a non-magical childhood friend, a serving girl ( named Emma in the anime) who liked to play chess with him. After she managed to defeat him, his parents tortured him for most of a day for losing, and murdered Emma and her entire family. Set Swords to "Stun": Students are able to cast anti-lethality enchantments on their weapons which make them unable to deal lethal damage. Naturally, these enchantments are required for training duels between students. Unfortunately, it's possible to break these enchantments, as happened in Oliver's duel with Nanao. The instructor immediately called a halt to the match. Oliver was understandably deeply horrified to learn the enchantments had been broken and he and Nanao nearly killed each other. The anime cuts several scenes short and moves others around compared to the book: Garland's explanation of spellblades is moved to episode 3, and the scene where he practice-duels Nanao and the conversation between her and Oliver over the nature of her feelings for him are dropped. This gives it somewhat choppy pacing for the first few episodes. This is partly because the novels are not paced in a way that easily lends them to the usual length of an anime season: the Year One books are essentially a Two-Part Trilogy, with volume 1 being a standalone story and volume 2 ending on a cliffhanger that leads directly into volume 3. Even with the season running for an unusual fifteen episodes, a fair amount of material is left out. De-power: Injure a mage, you hurt them. Injure their etheric body, however, and you seriously weaken their powers. This happens to Alvin Godfrey at the end of volume 7, courtesy of Cyrus Rivermoore stealing his sternum and a chunk of his etheric body attached to it, leading to the main plot of volume 8 where the Campus Watch sends a posse after Rivermoore to recover the bone so Godfrey's etheric body can heal in time for his matches in the combat leagues.Curly blond hair is a Hereditary Hairstyle of the McFarlane family: Theodore McFarlane and his daughters Michela McFarlane and Stacy Cornwallis all have it. Chela jokes at the entrance ceremony dinner that it's considered polite to faint at the beauty of it.
