!!This is a list of silly, or JustForFun wild mass guesses for the series ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha''. More serious entries should go in one of the [[WMG/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaOpenOne open]] [[WMG/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaOpenTwo pages]].

[[WMG:Precia and Alicia got thrown out of a Franchise/{{Stargate|Verse}} somewhere.]]
Ether that, or one was their ticket out of Al-Hazard.
* And maybe, in keeping with the general theme of this thread, Al-Hazard is an Ancient outpost, and magitek as seen in the Nanohaverse was invented by the Ancients along their path to Ascension. And the Ancients are the reason why the people of Midchilda and (probably) practically everywhere else are human. They had time travel, and the ability to become energy, so... Interdimensional travel isn't all that far out of the question for them.

[[WMG:Lily is a [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Grimoire]]]]
Besides Divider, Tohma, and anyone infected by "Eclipse", the Aces are also looking for the Tome of the Silver Cross, and Lily seems to be connected to said tome in some way. Assume for the moment that Lily ''is'' the tome: that would make her [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything a magical book of immense power and age, capable of taking a human form and granting an enormous power boost to the person she contracts with. The manifestation of said power alters the appearance of the mage/magius.]] If she isn't actually a Grimoire, she's at least a Subaru-level {{Expy}}.
* Given that Seven Arcs used to make eroges ''and'' is noted for dropping shout-outs all over the place, this is probably intentional.
** The agent from Hückebein demanded that Tohma hand over the EC Divider and EC Reactor. We know what the Divider is, so....

[[WMG:Ixpellia and the Mariage are derived from [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Zonder Metal]]]]
This is actually an idea [[Tropers/{{Comartemis}} this troper]] had for a fanfic, but it fits well enough that it might belong here as well.

So - following the events of GGG FINAL, Kaido and Mamoru return to Earth and grow up as normally as kids like them can. In the time it takes them to become teenagers or otherwise hit "protagonist material age", the technological advances brought about by G-Stone technology become commonplace, and mankind leapfrogs forward into the space age. At the same time, research on dimensional physics leads to the first instance of interdimensional travel. Unfortunately, the first people Earth meets upon jumping out of their own dimension are members of the Belkan Empire, and war ensues because the Belkans insist on trying to conquer Earth. The war that follows devastates Earth, but Kaido and Mamoru successfully drive off the invasion fleet at the cost of their lives.

With Earth in bad shape and their last G-Stones and J-Jewels destroyed, the remaining defenders of Earth scramble to devise a new defense system- and stumble over Professor Leo's notes on Zonder Metal. After a lot of careful experimentation and a very deliberate attempt to subvert AIIsACrapshoot, a form of self-replicating mechanical life is created that shares traits with the Zonders but is also fundamentally different.

The differences between Ixpellia and the Mariage and the original Zonders lie mainly in the failsafes built into Ix and the Mariage. First, the Mariage give off a modified Z0 Particle that is useless for Zonderizing anything that isn't dead biological matter, but on the flip side they can convert corpses into more Mariage just by being near one. This also allows for the integration of a set mechanization template that makes the Mariage all have identical abilities. Second, the Z Master program was installed into a human instead of a crystal to ensure that the program wouldn't go rogue and try to kill-and-mechanize the human race for the same reasons the original did. To ensure the ''human'' couldn't go nuts and do this, the "hibernation cycle" was installed to ensure the program had a built-in exploitable weakness. Lastly, as a final layer of security, the program was installed in Mamoru and Hana's daughter, Ixpellia; Ix's own powers of purification cancel out the powers she would get from being a Zonderian and vice versa, thus ensuring that she is helpless without her troops to protect her. She's still an immortal machine-based life form though, which leads to the events in SSX...

[[WMG: Nanoha's extended universe takes place in the same multiverse as VideoGame/EndlessFrontier.]]
Setting aside the "Meta-level connection" theory farther down the page, the Endless Frontier is simply the multiverse as it exists outside the TSAB's sphere of influence. The Cross Gates were created by the Belkan Empire to allow easy travel between their outlying territories, and they had thousands of years of dominance to conquer and colonize hundreds or even thousands of worlds, creating a massive but loosely-connected web of colonized worlds. The Bureau, by comparison, has only been around about 150 years and is still consolidating its' power around what used to be the Empire's core worlds. In the meantime, Belka has been all but forgotten on the Frontier, so magic isn't as common as it is in the Bureau's territory and mass-based weapons are the order of the day.
* By extension of course, this also means there's a ''Super Robot Wars: Original Generations'' universe somewhere out there waiting for the Bureau to find it...
** As well as an Earth home to dimensional travelers Reiji Arisu and Xiaomu of ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'', which apparently is the same Earth that become Lost Jerusalem of ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}''.
[[WMG: Fate is a ShoutOut to [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars Wodan Ymir, not Sanger Zonvolt.]]]]
The most commonly-cited similarity between Fate and Sanger is how Bardiche's Zamber mode resembles Zankantou as a folding {{BFS}}. Wodan's version of Zankantou fits Bardiche much better than Sanger's. Not only are Jet Zamber and Blade of the Cosmos virtually identical - they're both energy blades extended to frackin' huge lengths - but the hilt designs for [[http://shadowcancer.deviantart.com/art/Colossal-Blade-103597888 Wodan's Zankantou]] and [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ML_kFkjpdzE/SMT_d49o8UI/AAAAAAAAG7s/onxv4g3IfPo/s400-R/figma_Fate_AB_15.JPG Bardiche's Zamber Mode]] both vaguely resemble tridents with gems in the center of the crossguards.
* Thudgelmir was Sanger's machine in his first appearance in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Gaiden''. Wodan debuted in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration 2'', which came out in 2006 - a year after the end of Nanoha A's. If Fate is a ShoutOut to Wodan, then the writers either could see the future or had inside info on the games.
** Maybe you're right, but, actually Super Robot Wars Original Generation 2 was released in February 3 2005 in Japan and A's was run later in August of the same year

[[WMG: Wodan Ymir is a ShoutOut to Fate]]
See the similarites above.

[[WMG: Takamachi Nanoha is Furude Rika in one of the many worlds she has stepped into. (There are enough Yukarin [=MADs=] to prove it.)]]
[[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1723347 In this one video,]] Nanoha travels dimensions ''via'' TSAB technology to save herself in another world.\\
[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYB4RPsanVI#t=1m+39s Her rage even carries over.]]
** So where does [[spoiler: [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Bernkastel]]]] fit into this?

[[WMG: The Nanoha universe is the meta-level connection of ''every'' fictional story ever made.]]
The TSAB controls dimensional travel across the entire multiverse; they are able to visit any universe they wish; and they pulled their home planet, Midchilda, into a dimensional rift. It is possible to see other planets in its sky because the planet exists in multiple places at once.
* Thus, the TSAB is another form of the organization seen in Creator/RobertAHeinlein's ''Literature/TheCatWhoWalksThroughWalls'', protecting TheWorldAsMyth.
** There are ''several'' such organizations mentioned in ''The Cat Who Walks Through Walls'', with ethical levels ranging from 'relatively benevolent' to 'chaotic evil'. There's no reason the TSAB couldn't be another multiversal faction jockeying for position (and [[Literature/ThursdayNext jurisdiction]]) with all the rest.
* Every fictional story except ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'', you mean.
** Perhaps the universes are discrete parts of a whole, and Haruhi is only able to affect her own. If she remakes hers, it would not touch the other parts of the multiverse.
* "Lindy-san, what's that dimension there, with all the barriers and warning labels around it?"\\
"Oh, that's the [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Imperium of Man]], Nanoha-chan. ''We don't go there''."
** If the "Star child" theory is true after all... we may know Vivio's future husband.
* Oh? Shouldn't the Dimensional Sea be a tesseract, or an extra dimension, like the last part of Anime/VoltesV or the tesseracts in ''Literature/AWrinkleInTime''?
* Does that mean the TSAB is actually aware of a [[Series/DoctorWho certain Doctor with a blue police box?]] See further down this page…

[[WMG: Nanoha is an AlternateUniverse badass clone of Sakura Kinomoto. Kero is the same for Yuuno the Ferret.]]
* This newcomer (to the series) troper agrees, given the similarity of the the invocations and Nanoha's going "Eeeeeeeeee?"
* So Fate is Syaoran Li? Makes sense, considering that in both cases started as antagonists and then became almost-canon couple.
* Also, Raging Heart was very similar to Sakura's Star Staff in ''VisualNovel/TriangleHeart3''.
* Though it was subtler, and not to the same degree as Nanoha, Sakura showed some traces of being a workaholic in her SickEpisode, when she went to school and even to investigate a magical occurrence while she had a fever.

[[WMG: Mach Caliber's crystal form is derived from processing a [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Loud G-Stone]]]]
Its blue-green light gives it away as an artificially synthesised [[Anime/GaoGaiGar G-Stone]], as used by the Sol Masters.
* Taking this further, the entirety of the Combat Cyborg project is based on reverse-engineered GGG-tech.
** As a further extension, Subaru's unique IS is based on Mic Sounder's Solitary Wave attack, only that it's tuned to attack cybernatically-enhanced warriors.
** The (il)logical conclusion being that eventually, Subaru will come across a J-Jewel powered cyborg who ends up as her rival.

[[WMG: Nanoha's [[BeginnersLuck God-Mode]] PowerLevel? It's fueled by the strong, angry emotions of {{Shipp|ing}}ers.
Well, it ''would'' explain all the ShipTease regarding her...
* Boy, are we lucky the guys from ''WesternAnimation/{{Avatar|TheLastAirbender}}'' aren't fueled by it. That would be... like ''Manga/DragonballZ''! Ugh!
** It would be even worse if it happened with ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', especially considering recent developments.

[[WMG: Precia becomes Maleficent from Franchise/KingdomHearts]]
See the WMG/KingdomHearts entry for details.
* Doubtful; all signs point to Maleficent still being sane.

[[WMG: Based on the WMG above, Signum's soul is taken from an AlternateUniverse version of [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Lamia Loveless]]]]

Because the Shadow Mirror is not unique in all the Multiverses, there will be a lot of versions of Lamia. In this version, the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' universe has GoneHorriblyWrong after she was unceremoniously killed by Juergen. [[spoiler:Axel didn't come back to life]], the EFA went downhill after her death, and eventually the Zuvorg Alliance conquered the Earth. Eartth became a battleground/trophy between the Zuvorg Alliance and the Balmars. After seeing how things happened after her death, Lamia, who had developed a soul, lamented that [[ItsAllMyFault it was her fault]] that she couldn't protect the ones she cares about, thanks to her death, and that she wasn't strong enough.

The Book of Darkness offered her a chance to redeem herself by gaining new friends and protecting them, but at cost of her past memories, skills, and body. Knowing there would be no return, Lamia eventually accepted and was remolded and christened 'Signum' and given Levantine. With her natural talent, she became the Signum as we know today. Of course, there was a time when Signum grew cynical and cold-hearted after the Book of Darkness kept falling into the hands of abusive masters, and thought that its offer was a lie. But that changed when she met Hayate.

[[WMG: The [=TSAB=] is the future of Cephiro from Manga/MagicKnightRayearth.]]
Hence the [[ThemeNaming car names]] for everything. After the Autozam natives were allowed to settle, they blended their technology with magic. Centuries later, the discoveries this led to resulted in a dimensional crisis across the worlds. The survivors fled to the past and set up the Time/Space Administration to keep it from happening ...er... [[TimeyWimeyBall "again".]]

[[WMG: Everything takes place in a computer simulation]]
Magic is not allowed by physics. However, the world of Nanoha is a simulation run in an unimaginably advanced computer; magic is a set of flashy "cheat codes" built into the system. That's how all the transformation sequences are possible - the computer simply changes some values in its memory and simulated equipment pops in or out of existence.
* Moreover, everything since late second season has been a simulation within a simulation run by the Book of Darkness. The purpose of this simulation is to make Hayate's dreams come true in such a way that she thinks she achieved them all herself. Adversity is there for Hayate to triumph over it. That's why none of her many friends ever die and happy endings abound. Meanwhile, the Earth of the first simulation was destroyed.
** If this were so, you'd think she could manage to get a bit more screentime then...
*** Nanoha is still the main character. Besides, people who aren't Hayate do not share her protection against suffering, which makes them more interesting for the story and keeps the world becoming too saccharine for Hayate to believe in. It's even possible that Nanoha's wheelchair episode in the flashback only came about to sate Hayate's buried darker impulses so that one of her friends would have to suffer like she had. Meanwhile, Hayate is hanging back directing the troops, casting flashy long-distance magic, and getting the credit for everyone's successes because she's the leader. The Book of Darkness is making sure everything goes according to the script. Vita failed to destroy the generator's shielding because of her extreme fatigue, and the Book of Darkness had to intervene. That's why there was such a delay before the visible cracks appeared.
** It's worth noting that the LotusEaterMachine produced by the Book of Darkness in the second season wasn't good at all. Fate wasn't even slightly convinced of the reality of the situation.
*** The simulation was unrealistic because it was meant to be a subtle form of torment for Fate, a world where there is nothing to strive for and everything is meaningless and false. The Book of Darkness only allowed Fate to escape an eternity of that because Hayate wanted her back.

[[WMG: Hayate's father was an AlternateUniverse version of [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]].]]
In this particular universe, Light [[spoiler:''didn't'' die]] after being shot and recuperated from his wounds. He then gives up using his Manga/DeathNote and settles down with one of the female Kiras (pick any) to raise a family. Light's old Death Note was kept on the bookshelf right next to a certain thick book that was bound in chains... Anyway, Hayate Yagami brought that old Death Note (not knowing what it was) with her when she moved to Mid-Childa. There it sits, unused, to this day. Now suppose that Hayate DOES find out about the Death Note...
* Or maybe Hayate is already using the Death Note and most of the 3rd season was influenced by it. See the entry on taking over Midchilda for her possible purposes. And when you think about the deaths of Hayate's superiors, these seem like they didn't need to happen; they didn't do much good for Scallietti, but they furthered Hayate's cause a lot.
** Guys. Book of Darkness. ''Hello?!'' Though of course, Rein is a lot cuter than Ryuk.
* Perhaps when the Book of Darkness regenerates it doesn't just appear out of thin air, but instead it converts another book into itself in which case the Book of Darkness is Light's old Death Note. Taking this further that process also caused Reinforce and Ryuk to merge into one being with Reinforce being the most dominant part. Hayate was able to communicate with Reinforce before sufficient pages were collected because of the link she had to Ryuk as the owner of the Death Note.

[[WMG: Al Hazred is in fact ''Anime/ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld''.]]
The difference in name is due to language drift. Precia ended up in its far distant past; and repeating her Modus Operandi, found military contacts interested in her proficiency at creating magical artificial humans; resulting in the Demon God project. The reason it took Ifurita so long to travel the void between Earth and El Hazard was that she had to find a way to "decode" the dimensional barrier.
* This means there's possibly a sleeping Demon God Alicia somewhere...
* There is also the rather remarkable similarities in legends surrounding Alhezard, compared to the ones of the ancient civs of El-Hazard.

[[WMG: MGLN is a sequel to Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann]]
After realizing the threat of the Spiral Nemesis, humanity vowed to stop using technology and switch to magic. Simon sacrificed himself to power the first [[EmpathicWeapon Velkan devices]]. This would explain the whole [[Talk/VoiceActorJokes voice thing]], as well as why [[CuteBruiser Vita's]] and [[EmpathicWeapon Graf Eisen's]] LimitBreak is basically a [[ThisIsADrill Giga Drill Breaker]] on a stick (and why Eisen's size in general seems proportional to Vita's [[HeroicResolve willpower]]). Al Hazred refused to stop using Spiral Power, and as a result it was destroyed when Spiral Nemesis occured.
* Alternately, the series is set after the first Gurren Lagann Parallel Works video.

[[WMG: The Nanohaverse is really the future of the [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Imperium of Man]]]]
The Saint's Cradle was the only Imperial warship to survive the Warhammerdammerung, noting its surprising similiarity to several classes of IN ship. The crew, making use of a variety of devices from the Dark Age of Technology (the first intelligent devices), defeated everyone else, cleaned out the Warp, and founded the TSAB.
* ... [[http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?p=2428698#post2428698 so that would make Vivio the God-Empress of Mankind]]?
** And Heidi Ingvaldt is Warmaster Horus?
*** The Sankt Kaiser protects.
*** ...Yes. By deh Kaisah YES!! [[http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/Liinna/Nanoha/For_the_Emperor-1.png Someone make a fic of this!!!]]
* Meaning that Vivio may be the combination of [[Franchise/SailorMoon Queen Serenity]] and [[Franchise/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madokami]].
** Considering that the backstory of the Saint Church described Olivie ending the Belkan Wars by sacrificing herself for the good of all, she might just as well be the reincarnation of Madokami.

[[WMG: Jarvis from the ''Film/IronMan1'' film was reverse-engineered from or at least based in some way on Bardiche.]]
This goes on nothing more than the fact than Jonathan Meza (Dub!Bardiche) sounds like a PoorMansSubstitute for Paul Bettany (Jarvis). Although it would certainly explain why Jarvis is so much smarter than an AI you would expect of the TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture setting. Alternatively, it could be the other way around.

[[WMG: Hayate = [[Manga/ExcelSaga Hyatt]] ]]
They're both ill otherworldly girls just trying to get by...
* Better yet, Hayate = [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Hayate!]] Talk about {{Opposite Sex Clone}}s

[[WMG: The Book of Darkness is a [[{{Literature/Slayers}} Claire Bible manuscript]]]]
At some point during its travels it must have absorbed the linker core of someone who had learned a spell from the Claire Bible.

[[WMG: The Belkan Saint King - whom Vivio is a clone of - is Ace Combat Zero's Pixy.]]
A World With No Boundaries was successful in launching the V2, leading to the rise of a magical - and unified - civilization in it's wake. The new Nanoha manga centered on Vivio will have a clone/reincarnation of Cipher make an appearance.
* [[@/GentlemensDame883 I]] sure do hope this becomes canon. Vivio needs an equivalent of the MPBM and ECM though... and how will they do that front air-intakes shtick?
** This one seems to be playing out, as the Big Bad of Vivid claims to be a historical figure from the "Saint King era" named Ingvalt. Further, a "Demon Lord" also from that period named Ixpella has shown up (albeit in a coma) after apparently getting Befriended back during the Sound Stages. Vivio calls her Ixy.
* A speculation on what character type/powers Vivio's key opponent may have, corresponding to AC planes:
** BadassNormal[=/=]WeakButSkilled: Canonically, Cipher was using a F-15C Eagle to take down Morgan, the former of which doesn't have any super special weapons. Plus it would be appropriate if Yuuno or Chrono had to smack Vivio down because Nanoha or Fate didn't guide her properly.
** Extreme agility and speed, FragileSpeedster or LightningBruiser style: The Wyvern doesn't have any superweapons either, but it is one of the most maneuverable, if not the most, of the AC birds.
** Has only one of Vivio's powers, but a much more refined version: Corresponding to the Falken, with its superior TLS but lacking the MPBM or ECM.
** BeamSpam[=/=]MacrossMissileMassacre combined with {{Attack Drone}}s and a modded version of one of Vivio's powers: Corresponding to Ilya Pasternak's Nosferatu and its [=UAVs=], with the BeamSpam[=/=]MacrossMissileMassacre standing in for the ADMM, the drones substituting for the [=UAVs=] and the modded power fitting the railguns acting like a TLS. Plus it would allow this enemy to act as an EvilCounterpart to Nanoha and her Blaster Bits too.
** Invisibility combined with attacking Vivio's power source and "easy" WMD-level blast: Corresponding to the Fenrir's Digital Optic Stealth, High Powered Microwave cannon (which, AsYouKnow, made your bird's fuel explode) and the Long range Shock Wave Missile. It would also give an excuse to bring Hayate into the fight to counter the super-blast.
* You've got it all wrong Cipher is clearly Nanoha. I mean come on he flies around in a blue white plane, is constantly refereed to as a "demon" by his foes who question if he's even human, and faces down his friend in a duel to keep him from doing something terrible with the later realizing after being beaten half to death how wrong he was? Clearly he reincarnated as Nanoha so he could smack some sense into his buddy once more.

[[WMG: Quint was ReallySevenHundredYearsOld]]
Subaru is [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Guy's]] daughter. Since she's a clone a Quint, we can conclude that Quint is also Guy's daughter. But, Guy is also the father of [[WMG/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]] who was alive during (or before) the ancient Belkan Empire, as evidenced by the fact Graf Eisen has Simon's soul.

[[WMG: Lutecia is [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Daiki (i.e. Kamen Rider Diend)'s]] daughter.]]
Garyu is pretty much a flesh and blood Kamen Rider, and Diend specializes in summoning Kamen Riders.

[[WMG:Sachie Ishida is related to Ryuken Ishida of Manga/{{Bleach}}]]
Given her age, she could be Ryuken's younger sister, or Uryu's older cousin. Sachie and Ryuken both doctors, and it's entirely possible that Ryuken managed to convince Sachie not to become a Quincy, since she wasn't burdened by being the Last Quincy.

[[WMG:Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya heard Nanoha's cry in The Manga of TheMovie]]
"I'm loved by my family. I have friends. I don't have a bad life. But I'm unhappy; why? What's missing? What's wrong with reality? WHY CAN'T THERE BE MORE!?"
And *BAM* , [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Hi-Tech Alien Mages]] crashland and give her the opportunity to join.

[[WMG:Olivie was [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber]] or an incarnation of her]]
Seriously, look at her. Adorably cute, strongest martial fighter of her era, tries to shoulder the weight of the authority of the King but fails tragically. Also, notice the heavy armored gloves that only emphasize her femininity and the conservative yet incredibly hot blue combat dress with armor bits on it.
* "Fails tragically." Did she really? She sacrificed herself, yes, but would she have been as venerated as a Saint if she had completely failed? I get the impression that while many kingdoms still fell; her example eventually led the way out of the Belkan Dark Age.

[[WMG:The TSAB is aware of [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]], [[Series/DoctorWho Davros]], [[Series/DoctorWho Captain Jack]] and has them on their arrest warrant.]]
Think about it. Captain Jack mentions he used to work for the Time Agency-this could be a sub section of the main TSAB branch. That, and those Chulan medical nanobots are more than likely to be considered Lost Logia, especially considering what those nanobots managed to do. The Doctor would be wanted for helping a fugitive, and his actions during "Waters of Mars" does not help his case either. Finally, TSAB's absence during "The Stolen Earth" and "Journey's End" could be explained by Davros timing it to coincide with the JS incident so the TSAB would have their hands tied. That said, Davros does is unlikely to go without being blacklisted...
* [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5519512/1/A_Correspondence_Through_Time_and_Space You've been reading this fic, haven't you?]]

[[WMG: The ''Nanoha'' Belka is descended from the ''VideoGame/AceCombat'' Belka.]]
By the 2040s, {{Mega Corp}}s may have taken over the world, but for a true nationalist, PatrioticFervor never dies. Biding their time, (ex-)Belkan men infiltrated the various corpocracies of the world and eventually retook the world. Decades and centuries down the line, what is known as the ''Nanoha'' Belka became reality. LegendFadesToMyth, and man forgot his/[[ImprobablyFemaleCast her]] true origins. The rest is history. You can see a foreshadowing of ''Nanoha''-style techno-magic in the way their weaponised laser technology is so far advanced compared to RealLife. I mean, a WaveMotionGun-scale laser superweapon and a fighter-mountable laser in their 1995, whereas in RealLife 2010 weaponised lasers are both much bulkier and less effective?
* Alternately Ace Combat Belka is an off shot formed from by a splinter faction that was isolated on the planet ages ago, the few magic users eventually died off after founding the nation and propelling it to a prominent position and imparting their concept of "Knighthood" into it's culture.

[[WMG: The Gray Men were the ones who corrupted the Book of Darkness.]]
Look at where they have gotten their claws into! [[spoiler: Nuking their own cities]], making [[spoiler: Osea and Yuktobania fight]], they sure fit an [[AncientConspiracy Ancient]][=/=]GovernmentConspiracy mould... Wait, what do you mean wrong Belka?! This ''isn't'' the ''VideoGame/AceCombat'' page?!

[[WMG: Reinforce I doesn't die at the end of A's, but transports to a magical version of WWII to become...]]
Selvaria Bles of Valkyria Chronicles. First off, they look suspiciously similar with white hair, skin tight black uniforms, with a size or two too large breasts. Secondly, they both play similar roles in their plots. Both are extremely powerful beings, both have a connection to a long lost super race (Belka/Valkyria) and both end up dying for a messed up sense of love with their master (Hayate/Maximillion)
* So how would you explain Reinforce Zwei's existence?
* The Belkans might not be as powerful as they use to be, but they are by no means a lost race.
* Of course, if we're going by such an angle, the inverse could also be true. See below.

[[WMG: Selvaria's soul transmigrates to the Book of Darkness and becomes Reinforce]]
Think about it. Selvaria gave her life to help Maximillian fulfill his dream, her soul AscendsToAHigherPlaneOfExistence and eventually makes its way to the Nanohaverse, becoming Reinforce within the Book of Darkness and has a new start. Perhaps remembering that she wasn't strong enough to see her former master's dreams through in her past life, Selvaria, now as Reinforce, decides to gradually become more proactive in fulfilling Hayate's wishes and utilizing the magical resources of the Book that she has at her disposal. However, this would once again bring tragedy in her life as she took it to the extremes and got taken over by the dark energies of the Book of Darkness. Knowing that perhaps it was for the best, Selvaria gives her life once again, but this time she gave her master Hayate reassurance. Even if she's no longer around, Selvaria believes that Hayate will be alright.

[[WMG: When Vivio and Einhart grow up, they'll master the Loli Form Transformation]]
Just to cater to the LoliconAndShotacon YuriFan base.

[[WMG: Superman is an A-ranked Belkan mage. Krypton is Al Hazard.]]
Consider the standard Nanoha mage powers; Barrier Jacket granting increased protection, flight, and some form of energy attack. Enhanced strength is also fairly common to Belkan mages judging from the feats of the Forwards and the Wolkenritter.

Superman does all these things, but since he's never been properly trained or had a Device, he doesn't manifest the usual magic circle InstantRunes, and his energy power is the eyebeams because he's selftaught and for whatever reason that's how he thinks it should manifest. Instead of the usual flashy external shows of energy, he internalizes it, and his body adapted to deal with the increased stress making him [[NighInvulnerability Nigh Invulnerable]].

I'm sure someone will notice some of the Gadgets have Brainiac's tri-circle symbol going on, too...

* Superman is Chrono's son who was transported back in time. The reason? Chrono's son is named Carel, which is obviously the original form of "Kal-El".

[[WMG: ''Anime/MagicalWitchPuniechan'' is a BizarroUniverse of MGLN.]]
Both shows have as leads powerful magical girls who invoke the word "lyrical", but their {{Character Alignment}}s are pretty much diametrically opposed. Furthermore, Nanoha [[strike:isn't that hot in]] doesn't really favour melee and bashing heads in with her stick, whereas Punie kicks a lot of mass with wrasslin'.
* Since when on equal footing (if lower) with Signum = not hot in melee? 2 of her upgrades in A's were melee-based (she taught them to Elio later)!
** Did Nanoha fight Signum that much? I think she usually faced Vita, whereas Signum got matched by Fate...
*** We know of at least two [[strike:duels]] brawls that Nanoha had with Signum, both in the manga. We only catch a glimpse of the first one since Signum only mentioned it as an aside, but we got an entire chapter for the second one. [[spoiler:Both ended in a draw after they got into it a wee bit too much and practically tried to kill each other]]. <<

[[WMG: The Time/Space Administration were created from the ashes of the [[TabletopGame/MageTheAscension Void Engineers]].]]
After the Apocalypse of Earth Dimension Variant TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness (part 1), there were still technomages left who where so deep in the Umbra that they simply weren't present for the End of the World. They had to [[GoingNative Go Native]] on Mid-Child; and blended their society with the local mages.

[[WMG: [[Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi "Death-glasses/specs" Takamichi]] is a relative of Nanoha.]]
A single letter difference in the surname can occur due to drift, mistakes or simply a legal change of name. Maybe he had a falling-out with Shiro's line of the family and they disowned him, causing Nanoha to never have heard of him.
* "Takamichi" is his ''first'' name. Death-Specs' last name is "Takahata". "Takamachi" cannot become or be mistaken for "Takahata".
* Nanoha's family real family name are Fuwa or Mikami depending on member, Takamachi is just "cover" name for safety after both clans were mostly wiped out by enemies. So no relation.
** Which members of Nanoha's family have which real family name?
*** Miyuki is Fuwa by mother and Mikami by father, others are just Fuwa (Miyuki is adopted - she is daughter of Shiro's sister).
** FlatWhat. Is this another of those AllThereInTheManual things? From a Sound Stage? Or imported from Triangle Heart?
*** Imported from ''Toraha''. The game goes a long way to explore Takamachi ancestry, even though from Kyouya's point of view.
*** Well. With all this Chinese/Japanese vs Western naming convention and AllThereInTheManual confusing business, I guess the more you know, the more you realise you don't. Allow me to suggest another, hopefully less foolish theory then:
** Come on, I think we are being too harsh. It's far from unheard of for folks to get the "surname first or last" thing confused, especially since it's not uniform in this series either. Nanoha's is rendered in Japan Takamachi-first, whereas Fate's has the Testarossa in the back on both sides of the language barrier. Plus, there were - and probably still are - people [[SpellMyNameWithAnS rendering Nanoha's family name as "Takamichi"]].

[[WMG: Takamichi's parents were fans of ''Triangle Heart SSF[=/=]Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'', which is MutuallyFictional with ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi''.]]
They (mis)named him after the (cover) surname of that certain BadassFamily.

[[WMG: Nanoha is a distant relative of [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} Alucard]]]]
There MUST be a reason why [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HNTpPFGI8U this smile and this voice]] fit her so ''well''.

[[WMG: Nanoha Takamachi can be Music/MichaelJackson.]]
[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuwOy9A97R4 To misquote]] [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 the Sniper]]: "Because she's bad/she's bad/You know it/Yuuno".

Alternately, she can be Wiz Khalifa, because... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duWTfl4MJ1c Yuuno what it is]].

[[WMG: The people behind ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaViVid'' and ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'' had been planning to do the crossover ever since they started those series]]
Think about it. With ''Prisma Ilya'', we have a LighterAndSofter ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' series set in a MagicalGirl story with lots of explosions that's aimed at a male demographic, making it more like ''Nanoha''. Meanwhile, with ''[=ViVid=]'', we have a LighterAndSofter ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' series set in a story about legendary heroes of times past reappearing in one way or another in the present, making it more like ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. Now that the crossover's been announced, this coincidence is far too big to ignore!

[[WMG: The TSAB was formed by [[{{Franchise/Nasuverse}} Zeltrech]].]]
Whether or not Nanoha's Earth and Prisma Illya's Earth are the same means little to Zeltrech, since we know he's a Dimension Jumper already; jumping between ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' to ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. The one in ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'' is the same guy; he's trying to elevate the Mages on Earth to get past their mental limitations. The TSAB was a side-project he worked on a few centuries ago. Heck, Kaleido Ruby and Kaleido Sapphire are Intelligent Devices; while the Class Cards are Unison Devices!
* He's working on dealing with the foreseen EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt per ''[[{{Franchise/Nasuverse}} Notes]].'' If it can be avoided; that's great. If not, hopefully humanity can survive it. He's got projects for both.
* TSAB was canonically formed by the TSAB High Council ([[spoiler:the three brains on life support in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'']]), but Zeltretch could have played an advisor role to them, kinda like he helped founding the Holy Grail War system.

[[WMG: Raising Heart is an [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Einst]]]]
More specifically, the core of one. Considering how powerful it is and how ill-suited it is to Yuuno, he must have found it on one of his digs. Considering RH's abilities and the form of Nanoha's Barrier Jacket, it may even have been a part of the Rein Weissritter.

[[WMG: The HyperspaceArsenal in ''VideoGame/AceCombat'' games comes from Ancient Belkan techno-magery.]]

Shameless copypasta from the ''AC'' page.

In the wars that ended the Ancient Belka empire, a cache of their techno-magery was blown across the dimensional void, eventually arriving in the ''VideoGame/AceCombat'' universe to land in Strangereal, where it was scattered, the parts discovered by various nations - hence why you go through protagonists of various nations but all have the high ammo counts - and reverse-engineered. In gratitude, the Belkans, who did not use to be called that, renamed themselves.

Alternatively, the Belkans in the ''VideoGame/AceCombat'' universe are a defeated faction from the ''Nanoha'' Belka who chose to cut and run rather than be wiped out, and brought their technology with them. Mingling with the locals, their techno-magery contributed to the high ammo counts and various other technological advancements like the TLS. As they spread across the nations and time went by, though, their violent tendencies returned, leading to the international conflicts of ''Ace Combat''.

[[WMG:Teru Mikami's secretary Nakajima in Manga/DeathNote is a distant relative of Genya's]]

In Chapter 99, Mikami tells his secretary that he's going to the scene of a case. It's thus possible that she's somehow related to Genya, at least before his part of the family went to Mid-Childia, but she's a {{Muggle}} to the degree that she most likely not only wouldn't know about magic, but doesn't suspect anything about what her boss is doing.

[[WMG:Precia's husband is [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Relius Clover]]]]

They were both happy couple and even was blessed with Alicia. Alicia's death served as a catalyst of Relius' ambition to create the Perfect Doll, so the clone will be perfect and would surely please Precia. However, when Relius continue to research about how to make a Perfect Doll, for some reason he is thrown to the VideoGame/BlazBlue universe, leaving Precia to continue the research on her own, and had her bitter over Relius that she starts thinking that he didn't exist and claims the research's efforts for herself (Relius also did the same, gets re-married, fathered Carl... and then abuses the hell out of him). This would explain why they seem to be asses to their own kids. Truly a cross-over UnholyMatrimony.
* So what's Noel's connection to [[Creator/CristinaValenzuela Nanoha]] and [[TheGunslinger Teana]]? (see "Nanoha will learn Gun Kata and advanced Blaster Bit control" above)

[[WMG: Cinque's genetic base is [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Nu-13]].]]
[[AllThereInTheManual According to the manual]], Uno, Due, Tre and Quattro are all created from Jail's own DNA, but the "second generation" Numbers (Cinque through Deed) are all created from other sources, and Cinque (along with Nove, Sette, and Uno) were created via "clonal culture", which is stated to have a low chance of creating a viable final product -- presumably this translates into a high chance the cloned body will reject cybernetic implants -- but a high chance of reproducing any special abilities the genetic base had. But suppose the donor was already a cyborg? The chances of rejection would be slim to none depending on how similar Jail's cyborg tech is to whatever tech was used to create Nu, and if Sword Summoner is related to Nu's linker core or genetic info in any way then it's definitely something Jail would be interested in reproducing. Top this all off with the painfully-obvious physical resemblance between these two and there's really only one conclusion you can make (...well okay, you can take the easy way out and just call Nu a Cinque {{expy}}, but where's the fun in that?).

[[WMG: ''VideoGame/AceCombat'''s Strangereal WAS the lost Belkan homeworld]]
Another grand unifying guess...

The mad Belkan tech that they were so keen on destroying in ''Ace Combat Zero''? It was sent to Strangereal from Al-Hazard to help them defend against the Ulysses asteroid--too bad it landed in the Grey Men's hands. Basically, ''Nanoha'' is set in an AlternateTimeline of the ''AC'' games where Pixy killed Cipher, the V2 hit its targets, the Grey Men rebounded from defeat, allied themselves with AWWNB (who wanted a world with no borders... like a world controlled completely by Belka), and together, conquered Osea, Yuktobania, and the rest of Strangereal. Also, unbeknownst to Pixy, the entire data on Al-Hazard tech was carried by the ''Morgan'' when he took off, and was extracted and returned to the Grey Men after his victory. Thus, the Belkans not only conquered the world with it and stopped Ulysses, but also found a way to expand to other worlds. Realizing [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone what they've]] [[MyGreatestFailure unleashed]], Al-Hazard sealed themselves from the rest of the universe, while the Belkans conquered it. Oh, and Pixy was crowned the first Saint King (hence all the Arthurian allusions in ''Zero'').

[[WMG: ''NANOHA'' is a [[GenderFlip Gender Flipped]] version of ''DRAGONBALL'']]
I mean , if '''Nanoha''' is '''Goku''' and '''Fate''' is '''Piccolo''', would THAT make '''Vivio''' '''Gohan?'''

[[WMG: The throne on the Saint's Cradle was an [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Animus]].]]
It awoke Vivio to powers in her GeneticMemory she didn't know she had, but the intensity of forcing the Bleeding Effect on her at such a high intensity turned her evil, like how Subject 16 went nuts.

[[WMG: The Wolkenritter were the original Series/TheATeam.]]
A long time ago, a crack commando unit was sentenced to prison by an unscrupulous noble for a crime they didn't commit. These women and one Guardian Beast promptly escaped from the maximum security stockade. They went about, helping the helpless and trying to stay ahead of the one who framed them, but eventually[[note]corresponding to the infamous fifth season of the A Team[[/note]] were recaptured and made to act as {{Boxed Crook}}s. Unhappy with the arrangement after a while, they tried to rebel[[note]]as with the last episode of the show[[/note]]. Unfortunately, they failed and were made AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Be bound to the Book or executed. The rest is history.

[[WMG:Nanoha met [[Franchise/StreetFighter Guile]] at some point between ''[=StrikerS=]'' and ''[=ViVid=]''.]]

"[[MemeticMutation Make some friends]]."
* Eh, I don't think so. Considering that [[DefeatMeansFriendship that]] is not what Ezio had in mind or what he is referring to when he says that line. And then, of course, there's what happen's to the people Ezio actually does [[DeaderThanDead defeat]]...

[[WMG: Dramatic Yuuno's power level far exceeds that of Dramatic Chipmunk, I Mean, Prairie Dog]]
Have you seen the power of [[MemeticMutation Dramatic Prairie Dog]]? All from a magically-incapable normal animal! What about a shapeshifting mage then? The English DVD box set cases have a picture on the back cover of Yuuno having completed his Epic Maneuver. If the entirety of Yuuno's Epic Maneuver reaches mortal eyes, [[Franchise/{{Halo}} it's going to kill you, it's going to kill me, and then we're ALL gonna die.]]
* Wouldn't he be Dramatic Ferret?

[[WMG: The Book of Darkness was already almost destroyed once in the Ancient Belkan era]]
...by a strike team consisting of ArchangelMichael (possessing the body of [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Lamia Loveless]]), [[Myth/NorseMythology Thor's daughter Thrud]], Thrud's warg companion, [[Myth/ArthurianLegend Lady Viviane]], and [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Etna]] (serving as Michael's Unison Device as part of his DealWithTheDevil). They managed to destroy the Book's previous guardians, but when it came to destroying Reinforce, none of them could bring themselves to do it, so the Book regenerated and produced copies of them, Material-F (Signum, "F" for "Flame"), Material-T (Vita, "Thunder"), and Material-W (Shamal, "Wind"), who managed to pick off Viviane, Thrud, and fatally wound the latter's warg companion to turn him into their familiar (Zafira). Even the four of them, however, couldn't kill Michael and Etna, so they just disembodied him, banishing Lamia's body back to SRW universe, and captured her. When she refused to unison with Material-F, they wiped her memory and dumped her, then retreated back into the Book as its new guardians.

[[WMG: Yuuno has cousins/relatives who take other weasel/mustelid forms.]]
Credit to someone on [=SpaceBattles=] who suggested (a CaptainErsatz of) ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} demonstrating his displeasure with Chrono's treatment of Yuuno, as well as a honey badger-transformer who teaches Yuuno to GroinAttack.

Veyron refers to Karen in a way that makes her more outstanding to him than his fellow Hückebeins. Also he's arguably the weakest member of the family for the moment adn Karen is the leader of the group with an arguably serious but strong character. So she and Veyron have their private "moments" from tiem to time and Veyron watch the group for Karen from his "weakest member" positiion while she's out doing whatever she's doing out xDU. Not posted on Open Theories because of the lack if info about Karen and the fact that romance just didn't seem to work in Nanoha xDU.

[[WMG: Nanoha is the reincarnation of [[VideoGame/AceCombat Cipher]].]]
In 1995, Cipher managed to make Pixy understand he was doing the wrong thing by shooting him down. Soon after that, he disappears. MGLN is set roughly ten years after, and Nanoha is nine. Nanoha befriends people in the same way.

It could be that Cipher actually died (some combat wound, assassination by the Grey Men, or maybe a mundane accident) and that was kept secret. However, his soul reincarnated in a Japanese girl named Nanoha Takamachi. While she didn't inherit his memories, enough of him is left to influence both her Barrier Jacket (the blue trim, not present on the school uniform she used as a template, was his plane's paint scheme) and her combat attitude ([[DefeatMeansFriendship befriend people through superior firepower]]).

Somewhere in Force Nanoha will stumble on Cipher's plane, his memories will return, and she will proceed to smack down the Hückebein's ship, immune to magic, with "her" old F-15C. She can even ask her old friend Pixy to help her out, and maybe even Mobius 1 and the Ghosts of Razgriz.
* See also the various "Nanoha Belka = Ace Combat Belka", "Pixy = first Saint King", and "Grey Men in Nanohaverse" theories above.

[[WMG: Nanohaverse takes place in the future Created by the Finale of Madoka Magica.]]
* Step 1: Madoka's wishes Witches out of existence. Acends to a HigherPlaneOfExistence.
** Step 2: At some point someone wishes for Soul Gems to be housed entirely internally.
** Step 3: A Highly emotional boy gets the chance to make a wish. Does so... but wishes that the powers manifest as something more 'Cool' and 'High Tech' looking...
*** Also, the wish messed with reality and caused Madoka to reborn as Nanoha and Homura to reborn as Fate. The real reason why Nanoha fought so hard to befriend Fate, she subconsciously remembered [[LesYay her lover]].
*** Alternatively, Madokami leaves a lineage of Gods in the material plane to continue her divine guidance. Yes, the most powerful of all the Mages: the Sankt-Kaisers.

[[WMG: The Movie continuity is a SharedUniverse with Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion.]]
How else do you explain the flooded city that Nanoha and Fate have their final battle in? It's Tokyo 1, or some other city that was flooded by 2nd Impact.

[[WMG: Nanoha could wipe the floor with Creator/ChuckNorris.]]
Let's face it, if she wanted to be friends with him, his doom would be a forgone conclusion.

* [[FanonDiscontinuity NO]].

[[WMG: Signum is related to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Lightning Farron]]]]
Both are badass {{stoic}} [[CelibateHero celibate]] pink-haired [[HeroesPreferSwords blade-wielding]] [[LadyOfWar ladies of war]] with [[SugarAndIcePersonality Sugar and Ice Personalities]] and a [[DefrostingTheIceQueen tendency to warm up to their younger wards]].

Okay, so Erio and Caro are [[{{Expy}} a given]], but I can't be the only only one who sees Subaru and Teana as a Mix-and-Match of Kyosuke and Excellen, can I?
* They share a similar dynamic but their powers and personalities differ somewhat. Funnily, Nanoha and Vita are more direct [[{{Expy}} expies]] of Weissritter and Alt Eisen respectively and are even paired together as a team frequently, their dynamic is quite different, tough.

[[WMG: Franchise/LyricalNanoha is a Spiritual Prequel to Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann.]]
The people at Creator/StudioGainax saw ''Lyrical Nanoha'' and thought to themselves, "This is [[SugarWiki/SoCoolItsAwesome so damn cool]]! [[FollowTheLeader We should do something kinda similar]], but [[ExecutiveMeddling different enough that most people won't pick up on it]]! So we'll take it purely into [[SuperRobotGenre Super Robot]] territory, have a badass {{Expy}} of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji]] for TheHero, and then take StuffBlowingUp [[SerialEscalation to an ever increasing degree]]!

Added logic: Nanoha's {{Determinator}} was moved into Kamina and Simon, who "[[MemeticMutation befriend]]" Viral (although he's really stubborn, so it takes multiple "befriendings").

[[WMG: Yuuno and Vivio are related]]

In the years before her [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifice]] and thus the end of the Sankt Kaiser Unification Wars, Olivie is known to have been in the middle of a LoveTriangle. Well, said triangle was a lot more intense than History records, and Olivie had a child whose father could have been either one of her suiters/lovers. Knowing how having a successor would affect the politics after the war, and in fact could have restarted the war(s) all over again, Olivie determined to [[MySecretPregnancy keep the existence of the baby from as many people as possible]], even her lovers. She placed the child, when he or she was born, in the care of a close aid and met her destiny, being sure to leave enough money and connections to ensure her child and 'mother' could get away from the fallout and still be comfortable. Eventually that child, or that child's child, a boy, wound up being raised by a clan of Archaeologiests, The Scrya's. You can probably see where this is going.

So had history gone differently, Yuuno Scrya's surname would have most likely be Segbrecht, and as such he unknowingly has the strongest claim to the Belkan Throne. If he and Vivio have physicals at the same hospital, and a doctor or nurse starts seeing striking similarities in their respective bloodwork, Yuuno should, due to being older and being a naturally born descendant, expect a few house calls from the Belkan Church, asking if he would like to become Pretender to the Belkan Throne.

* You know, if this gets out, Yuuno could suddenly become [[UnwantedHarem the most eligable bachelor in the multiverse]]: Smart, Kind, good with kids and heir to the throne of the greatest empire in history, albeit the [[VestigialEmpire remnants]] of it. [[MagneticGirlfriend And all of this attention might get Nanoha to actually look at him as a man and not as JUST a friend...]]

[[WMG: Admiral Graham is a DirtyOldMan]]

(1) He ''was'' definitely a Dirty Young Man. Everyone else in the series has relatively ordinary familiars, and the young Gil Graham goes and summons up... a pair of oversexed {{catgirl}} ''[[TwinThreesomeFantasy twins]]''.

(2) ...who do you think taught Hayate [[SkinshipGrope everything she knows]]?

[[WMG: Yuuno is an TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}, specifically a Chosen of Secrets]]

Just a wild idea of mine, but if you think about it it can explain a lot of things up to the {{Unperson}}-ing of Yuuno. He was in a constant search for artifacts of terrible power since an ImprobableAge; his interference [[WindsofDestinyChange changed the destiny]] of many; he gradually retired from the front line to offer support behind the scene in the form of [[MagicalLibrary lore and occult knowledge]]; he [[ThePlan deliberately (maybe) try to remain as inconspicuous as possible, even using his Charms to create an "almost" unnatural lapse of information about him in any records, official or other wise...]]

[[WMG:Yuuno was friendzoned by everyone because he wasn't [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad]] enough]]
Chrono was bad (well, TallDarkAndSnarky, at least) so he got his girl. Yuuno was just a NiceGuy, so... friendzoned.

[[WMG:Subaru is HappilyAdopted]]
Her birth parents had a DyingMomentOfAwesome shortly after she was born, and she was taken in by a friend of the family. Her ''birth father'' is [[MemeticMutation actually]] [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Guy Shishioh]]. It's not just a ShoutOut - ''[[ActionGirl she]] [[HotBlooded simply]] [[ScreamingWarrior got it]] from [[MemeticBadass her father]]''.

[[WMG: Al-Hazard is the [[Franchise/SailorMoon Moon Kingdom]], warped by millennia of myth.]]
The Moon Kingdom was a magical civilization spread across the Solar System thousands of years ago, before it was destroyed by a Beryl and the EldritchAbomination possessing her. After it was destroyed, much of its technology was scattered across the multiverse, corrupted from their original purposes by Metalia's influence. Later civilizations discovered the technology and tales passed down, and came to believe that the original civilization destroyed itself.

[[WMG: Similar to the WMG above: Al-Hazard is the Moon Kingdom of ''Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon'', and its history is known with great accuracy but classified on some parts]]
The Moon Kingdom ruled hegemonically over much of the galaxy, and in its language is actually known as Al-Hazard. Then there was the Dark Kingdom attack, and [[spoiler: Serenity]] destroyed everything, causing widespread chaos. As Earth descended into anarchy and lost its civilization, other worlds managed to keep part or everything of its technology, and eventually perfected it, even fusing it with magic (explaining the difference in firepower: the Sailor Senshi would have enough firepower to make Nanoha look weak, but have no Device and much of their power ends up wasted).
In the meantime part of the Moon Kingdom's history was classified to prevent panic every time a ludicrously powerful mage appears, and the crisis that ended with the Dark Kingdom's attack and [[spoiler: Serenity]] destroying everything was reduced to 'for some reason there was a civil war and Al-Hazard's civilization destroyed itself' for the wider public.

[[WMG:Mid-Childa is [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Middle Earth]] in the distant future.]]
At some point in time, there was an inter-dimensional incident between Middle-Earth and our world, which most cultures just call Earth, or whatever Earth means in their language. Some wizards from Middle-Earth learned were amazed by our world's technology, which can advanced more in a century than technology from their world does in a millenium, and developed a new form of magic combined that incorpated Earth technology. has no distinct races like elves and hobbits, just humans, so the people of Middle-Earth were inspired to start racial-integration, generations of inter-racial reprodcution caused the distinct races on Middle-Earth to dissapear. The name Middle-Earth was shortened to Mid-Earth, which was eventually changed to Mid-Childa, and the TSAB was set up to handle any future inter-dimensional incidents.
* Middle Earth (=Midgard) ''is'' Earth.

[[WMG: The Nanoha universe was created by [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka]].]]
Not on purpose, but when Madoka [[spoiler:re-wrote the laws of her own universe to create a universe with no witches]], she also created every other MagicalGirl series. Nanoha is reincarnated Madoka in the universe, and Fate is a (pre-time travel) Homura, hence the LesYay, subconsciously, Nanoha remembers how she is.
* Adding support to this: Nanoha's spells are called ''Divine'', and her magic is ''pink''. How much more ''obvious'' can you get?
* Still, Madokami is the God-Empress of Magical Girlkind. It is entirely possible that she had a descendant in the material realm, the closest we have to the GodEmperor, the most powerful Mage in the Nanohaverse: The Sankt-Kaiser Vivio.

[[WMG: The [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Incubators]] are involved with the TSAB in some way.]]
The TSAB is an advanced, multi-dimensional civilization that uses magic as an environmentally safe energy source. Unfortunately, they don't realize they're using the potential energy of the universe directly, in massive amounts. Kyubey knows though, and though he can't stop the TSAB, he can at least make sure their squandering use of energy is contained, by creating more magic/potential energy.

[[FridgeHorror And now you know why there are so few mages on Earth.]]

Yes. I've just completely destroyed Nanoha's [[PoweredByAForsakenChild noble intentions]] for about [[TenMinuteRetirement one episode]]. [[note]]Not [[{{@/Nifhtelf37}} me]], but the one who posted this in the first place in the PMMM WMG page.[[/note]]
/人[[color:crimson:◕]] ‿‿ [[color:crimson:◕]]人\

[[WMG: Alternatively, The Incubators are Lost Logia.]]
The Jewel Seeds, massively powerful LostTechnology that collapsed dimensional walls and turned people into monsters because the safety settings were lost. Sounds familiar?

Human mages have always been rare; no matter what era or dimension. In one of the old worlds; the war with their neighbors was all but lost. All of their active mages were dead; and while some of their familiars were left; they were about to die/lose sentience without their masters. A few people who were given command altered the familiars. They no longer required masters to exist; they could create multiple bodies, and their job was to create mages and energy to "save their universe." (The re-programmers were dramatic and patriotic) The war had cost most of the adults; and women were more prone to magic than men so they focused on them for logistical purposes. These Familiars would Incubate the next generation of Mages. It was decided that the best way to ensure loyalty would be to program them to be emotionless and be only dedicated to their goal.

The augmented familiars went through the population; and by "forcing" non-mages to cast a RealityWarp even though they don't have Linker Cores (making a Wish); they burned part of their permanent LifeEnergy into positive and negative energy to create a type of pseudo-Linker Core/Device fusion CastFromHP and the owner's emotional state. [[SoulJar Soul Gems]]. Unlike normal Devices; these did not use computations to protect the owner from being directly linked to Magic.

Magic Users were regained; at terrible cost. Untried in combat; many of the new batch of mages quickly fell. But those who survived fell into despair; and their Soul Gems collapsed. Their despair; running unchecked through the magical channels blasted open by the RealityWarp; turned them into terrible monsters; and the dimensional walls surrounding the old world collapsed.

The familiars, now the Incubators, viewed this as a complete success. The remaining witches were "safe" from the old world's enemies. They left the dimension; to fulfill their programming. To save the universe by creating magical energy.

Worlds visited by the Kyubey often experience massive jumps in technological and magical advancement due to the RealityWarp; sometimes without the social infrastructure to handle this. Often their populations fall to rampant inter-warring sessions or are slaughtered by witches and the world becomes a danger to the dimensions surrounding it, requiring the world to be destroyed or dimensionally quarantined.

The TSAB considers the Kyubey to be Alpha-level threats and they are to be destroyed upon discovery via Arc N Ciel.

* In any universe affected by Madoka's wish; most of this story is still true. Any time the old world lost a battle with its new mages; the opponent could never hold that area for long due to Demons that sprang up due to weakening world walls to the Spirit World (where Summons come from). The Puella Magi could not keep up a war against their countries' enemies and their own Demons; and they died. One of the last Puella Magi of that world made a wish to send all their non-mage population offworld. The Incubators still escaped through their own means. Planetary destruction of worlds visited by them is still possible due to Demons, but far less likely.
* The TSAB is divided on Incubators. While there are some who argue that the wishes possible are worth it; others feel the risk is too great. They have enough problems with Lost Logia; why add Demons? Sometimes they don't have a choice; and feel that having anyone who can fight Demons and Lost Logia is better than having noone who can fight Logia alone.

* Most TSAB believe that the process doesn't create demons, but rather opens gateways to a LayeredWorld where emotional states have physical form. Usually the TSAB prefer to strengthen the dimensional barrier; there is debate on whether relying on beating [[TheHeartless physical manifestations of negative emotions]] is healthy; as it bypasses people and society from naturally addressing their own issues.

* Most Administrated Worlds ban Incubators; and the few that allow them (usually due to critical low mage population) have it ''very'' regulated. Incubators are not allowed to contract anyone without permission from the TSAB; and contractees are briefed by experts on how to make and word their wishes (even better if the TSAB can "buy" a wish by using their resources to accomplish the goal instead. The wish can then be used for less emotional goals; thus giving a better chance of a favorable result). "Puella Magi" Mages have regular psychological check-ups; and many are assigned professional teams ("Hope-Givers") to keep their spirits up. Every last one are, of course, employed by the TSAB. Attempts have been made, with no success, to restore Soul Gems to a Puella Magi's soul; or to modify Soul Gems with Devices and/or traditional familiars.

The Incubators are unchecked on Non-Administrated Worlds.

Now that ''Triangle Heart'' is the weird AU, it's possible that they could introduce some sort of silly spin-off featuring the family of the TSAB's fiercest warrior. The member that gets the focus would be Miyuki, or, if they wanted to play on "Side-M" spinoffs of female-focused works, make Kyouya some sort of battle idol. Either way, we see how the old family arts work in a Nanoha-less setting.
* If they go with Miyuki as the protagonist, the Takamachi women (including possible in-laws) may get the limelight. There could even be something made out of Shinobu's original vampirism or Fiasse's idol career if it ever gets brought back up in some fashion.
* If Kyouya is the protagonist, there may be a focus on the Takamachi men instead. Shirou's old assassin job may be a plot point. If they end up adding sidelined males from the ''Nanoha''-verse, this would be an easy way to shunt them into a world where they can be relevant ''and'' not upstaging the main cast.
