loveless notes
vol01:
they always introduce their name with a meaning. introduction: "name" - it means
"sleepless" - it means our guard is never down
"fearless" - it means we laugh in the face of danger, HA HA HA (strength so secure nothing will see us falter)
"ruthless" - it means no mercy (no holds barred, we take no prisoners)
"shameless" - having nothing to hide (the way we are, without fear or remorse)
"weightless" - (immeasurable)
personal names have meaning, too.
...ritsuka was so badass in the beginning, lol. xD "it's a pain to answer foolish questions. ¬_¬" and he used to wear glasses, what the hell. xD
midori: i can't forgive loveless, using a fighter unit that doesn't belong to him. and soubi taking a second sacrifice is even worse.
...midori is still the cutest thing ever. his character design is so simple and cuuute. ♥
vol02:
midori: without the mission, we have nothing against you.
kin: it's not soubi. the radius of the battle area is too small.
ritsu: the reason soubi fights at such a high level is because he can choose his attacks, apply physical violence, or destroy the psyche.
kin: damn, he surprised me-
soubi: i released the barrier.
kin: he's so fast. just a split-second delay from spell casting to deployment.
...ritsuka putting a bunch of bandaids on soubi's neck after BELOVED started bleeding? xD rofl, cute.
yoji: with a different name, your power is halved. and without a sacrifice, your power is halved again.
vol03:
ritsu: one who knows pain... knows strength. //pain is proof that you are alive.
natsuo to soubi: our battle parameters are nearly equal. ♥ hm.
soubi: i must never raise my voice. i must grit my teeth. i will bear it. i will withstand. i will not be defeated. (self-hypnosis. power-up spell.)
yoji: feeling slows you down. //when a fighter switches on his battle systems, his sacrifice, no matter how far away he is, he always knows! that's what it means to be connected.
ritsu: if you're going to battle, obey the rules. there's honour in the rules. there's kindness.
natsuo: the fighter opens the battle.
ritsuka: (my ears are ringing...)
natsuo: somebody's fighter is in operation.
vol06:
nisei: nice detective work. i was sure i'd cloaked my presence.
soubi: even if you cloak yourself, i can detect the presence of a fighter.
nagisa: in the end, no matter what happens, a fighter becomes the property of a sacrifice.
ritsu: i like any child with talent, no matter whom he belongs to.
vol07:
soubi: this is a school for fighter units. we wait here until the sacrifices are ready. we wait for the one. we dream of the one.
ritsuka: this place is nothing like my school.
midori: i'm sure. i was kinda... freaked out too, at first. they say that fighter units study here for a long time. sacrifices come later. we come later.
ritsuka: you're not together the whole time?
midori: the fighter units come first, and then... they search for a sacrifice... they search... and search... and finally they find one. and the day that they first meet is a memory they create, just the two of them.
ai: i'm just wondering if you're a proper fighter unit. we're all waiting and dreaming for the day when we'll meet our partner. that's why i couldn't forgive you for having a second sacrifice. because i thought you were different from us.
ritsuka: you know where she is?
midori: of course! i'm going to find her... ai is calling to me right now. her voice is so strong it will always reach me. //we need to expand our search area... without missing anything. i'm going to close my eyes... in the black, if there's one tiny thing that sparkles in the darkness... that's ai.
nisei: locks melt and doors blow open!
ritsu: can you see it, soubi-kun? the thread that binds those children. you can see it. that gossamer thread?
soubi: it glitters like piano wire, thin but strong.
ritsu: what happened to your thread? it's still torn.
soubi: i'd much rather have a thick chain.
ritsu: you shouldn't underestimate piano wire. the strings of an instrument can be used to fortify concrete, to suspend bridges.
seimei: if the opponent does not turn systems on, an attack is impossible. like all rules, though, this one has an exception. to enter the soul in a one-sided strike. it is invasion, violation; it is taking hold and deciding life or death for someone else.
ritsuka: something's shining... around you.
midori: this is our bond as breathless. you can see it as long as you don't refuse to. look, you have one too.
ritsuka: where does it lead to?
midori: to loveless' fighter.
ritsu: (re: nisei) this is a battle frequency i'm unfamiliar with.
ai: auto?! you insult us. we accept!
nisei: your defence radius is small. cute.
vol08:
soubi- blank fighter. name once written, sealed. assumed not to apply to zeroes as they all come out zero.
ritsu- cannot write name; has fighter already, albeit deceased. ←choice.
