In case you want to read the light novel, go and read on Baka- Tsuki
Seirei Tsukai no Kenbu light novel
I started dat thread because a LOT of discussion about the LN was going on here so I opened a thread specifically for LN stuff, spoilers and any predictions/speculations so that they aren't in the way elsewhere
RAW scans:
(That's where I always look for the latest RAWs)
Note:
If you post longer quotes from the LN or larger pictures, please use spoiler tags to improve readability
how to insert spoiler tags:
[*spoiler]text[/spoiler*]
or
[*spoiler]text or image
[/spoiler*]
(write it without the " * " )
Here some nice facts about Est:
(Sources: LN and Wikipedia)
The cute girl that likes to be kneesock- naked is Kamito's contracted sword spirit.
Her full name is "Terminus Est"
This is latin and means "this ist the end" or "it's the end"
The name of the sword comes from the book "The shadow of the torturer" by Gene Wolfe (publised 1980)
The sword belongs to Severian, a torturer and the narrator of the book and is a sword made for execution, being "light to raise, weighty to descend"
Furthermore, in the sword's spine there is a channel filled with poison.
It is double edged, but has a square end, so it cannot be used to stab some1 to death
At some point during the story, Terminus Est gets destroyed (Severian holds on to the pieces though)
If you want more details, look it up on Wikipedia: Termunus Est and Shadow of the Torturer
Now:
"Sacred sword of Severian" AND it being called Terminus Est?
Well, and there we got another interesting connection
So:
We know that the "original" Terminus Est was actually poisoned O_o
MAJOR SPOILER:
What will happen in the future?
Well, Est will provide a good share of funny situations similar to this one:
She is just soooooooooooooooooo cute
Don't hope for seeing Kamito wielding both Est and Restia at the same time, he does it in the LN volume 10... and we are only halfway through Volume 1
But when he does, he's gonna look really badass
The white one in his right hand is Est, the black one in his left hand is Restia (he usually hides the spirit seal on his left hand with a glove)
