Re: The interview: if you could use magic...

Indeed. Now all we gotta do is disperse to different manga portions of this site and post in them, thereby leeching off of their community ^_^

Re: The interview: if you could use magic...

Lol, hell yeah. Our propaganda quest to to make Mx0 conquer the world know is far from over. Thing is that I have little to discuss on other mangas boards. Ah well, I will get to it.

Re: Kuzumi advancing on two levels

I agree, I certainly wanna see the third years in action before they graduate. Kano gave us something mysterious: the 3rd years executive commitee (the unknown president, the unkown cube magic girl - vice-president?). But that means a plot with the VICE-principal must be brought to us
What bothers me is the Vice-principals real intentions. Why can't there be special cases? They way the vice prinicpal wanted to investigate Kuzumi certainly didn't seem to be within concern of the school. Guess he is the closes thing we have for a villian so there must be something...

He'll have his reasons but suppose the vice-principal succeeds in proving that kuzumi doesn't have any magic at all and he was allowed to make entrance in the school thanks to the principal then he'll prolly oppose to the principal and claim she isn't worth to be the principal.

Re: Kuzumi advancing on two levels

I doubt there will be any trouble whatsoever from the vice-principal.
Think about it.. Only 3rd years, brilliant 3rd years, are able to take the black plate's test..
The fact Taiga passed the first test shows his potential and that he's above the usual student. So the vice can't really complain seeing Taiga is such a prodigy.

I don't think the vice principals cares about that. He wanted to investigate Kuzumi because he 'was' a gold card user. Isn't that begin prodigy enough?

Re: Mx0 93 Discussion Thread / 94 Predictions Thread

Mr. Neru, I must correct you on this point. Kuzumi failed to gain many points from the exam, not because of his lack of magic, but lack of magic used on the past exam. As the principal said on the first page you cited, Kuzumi's low score came from not using magic, not from not having it. Had he used Mo, he would of used magic, erasing magic, but magic none the less. Other than this fault, nice argument.
I suppose you're right. Although M0 isn't really magic. I guess it doesn't matter since anyone else can't tell it isn't.

Maybe but the third yeae commitee already got involved with kuzumi and it was part of vice-principals plan. Those 3rd years have nothing to lose because they do what the vice-principal says and they aren't stupid to make a mess for getting suspended. I don't dare to say when, how, why, etc the vice-principal will get involved but be certain if something strange/abnormal happens and kuzumi is part of it then I think that guy will do some (own?) investigation again

Re: Mx0 93 Discussion Thread / 94 Predictions Thread

That didn't seem to be the case for me. http://www.onemanga.com/Mx0/88/04/
Here Kuzumi says "If you hadn't forced me to join, even if I'd passed the exam, my points would probably not be enough."
That sentence doesn't seem to make out that Kuzumi had a lot of points, rather, he had just enough to manage. Even though you earn points from the executive committee, I doubt its on the same scale as earning points from magical test. Why? Because it would be unfair to other if one where able to earn 'lots' of points from just begin a member of Executive committee. And at point, Kuzumi was totally unable to earn points on magical test since he had zero magic. So to say, he just managed on what he got from the executive, but no more than that.
Also, "he had the luxury to use M0 in the test because he had a lot of it." It was not about begin luxary or not. Kuzumi knew he didn't have much points, however, he was willingely to sacrifice what he had to clear the test and get BM0. May I refer you to http://www.onemanga.com/Mx0/92/08/ and
http://www.onemanga.com/Mx0/92/09/.
He was pretty concerned wheter his points would be enough or not to reach the top. Well, thats my beliefs for this matter anyways.
You're argument about the Magic Executive Committee activities not giving a quantity of points is not true. It was clearly said during his recruitment into the committee that he can earn a lot more points faster by being in the Exec Committee.

His active participation in solving cases with the Committee earns Kuzumi a lot of points based on the facts that:
1. The MEC is very busy with all reported problems to the committee thus Kuzumi has a lot of chances to increase his points by helping in solving it.
http://www.onemanga.com/Mx0/12/

2. Based on the fact that Kuzumi hasn't really used M0 to solve most cases, He should have a lot of points still stored in the card upto the point when he used them all up for the Black M0 Plate Exam. The only times he used his points for something related to the MEC were in fixing the Branch Chief and Satoshi's relationship problems and in the Bombing Threat Case during Seinaigi School Cultural Festival.

3.) It was also explained during Kuzumi's recruitment that every MEC related activities reported will conversely earn any committee member a lot of points.
http://www.onemanga.com/Mx0/12/07/

It may not be a luxury, but Kuzumi should still have gathered a lot of points accumulated for all these time, seeing as Kuzumi already have One and a half semester's worth of MEC activities already done. That should be a lot.

Also, counting the number of occassions where Kuzumi had to use an amount of Magic Points, until the BM0 plate exam, Kuzumi was forced to use his points for only 6 times. This means that he has almost never used. Excluding the time of Kuzumi's Summer Training with Niigaki Sensei where Niigaki frequently restored Kuzumi's points for the image trainings, Kuzumi should have used the M0 6 out of 92 different occasions. (He can only use up any amount of points by using his only skill, M0.)

Subsequently, this should result to more points earn, and losing some of it 6.5% of the time. Do you still think he'd not have a large amount of points when you see these figures?

Re: Kuzumi advancing on two levels

the VP will likely come into play when its kuzumi's third year there, since that would put him directly under the VP..

Another thing to look forward to is that kuzumi will likely be the head of the MEC in his third year....with just the black plate's capabilities, that could get interesting.

Wheter or not Kuzumi had a lot of points can be discussed to no end if we base it on all these past event it seems. Kuzumi certainly did a lot of work for MEC. However, read the chapter above, you can see how fragile M0 is. I'm not really sure what we should consider 'lot of' points, but he ran out of it. I think the thing is that we lack someone to compare Kuzumi with.

Well, most important now is, Kuzumi is out of points. And I'm not really gonna stick with my earlier quote "I doubt Kuzumi had that much points to begin with". However, I still think Kuzumi had a limmited aount of points before entering the test, which is not "a lot" :P

Edit: should be alright now :P

Re: Kuzumi advancing on two levels

I think the VP is EVIL!!! He wanted a Black Mo plate, but couldn't get one because the ex-principal and current principal didn't see fit at the time. He's the VP, and head of the 3rd year students now because he's waiting for someone with a Mo plate so he can steal it.

But back to topic... I don't think Kuzumi will advance to level 2 anytime soon, because he probably have to accumulate his magic points again.... and that should take a while.

Youre using the wrong chapter... http://www.onemanga.com/Mx0/18/15/ is the chapter where Kuzumi uses M0 to save Kumi.

Anyway, during the exam, Kuzumi never used M0 during Ooki-Sensei's test. He never did it in Momokusa-sensei's test either. The only chapter He used M0 is inhttp://www.onemanga.com/Mx0/26/01/. But even in there we never know how much he used, but based on the fact that he was able to use it during the Class Matches (which was right after the exam) proves that he has a large amount of points.

right when he first got it to save kumi, against daimon in the class matches, to save aika in the first magical exams, against ise's older brother, class cultural festival eating contest, class cultural thingy when he tried to disarm the bomb, class cultural thingy in the broom race

thats at least seven times....theres probably at least a couple more
Queltz, if you're gonna count the littlest details, eight is the most you're gonna end up with even through re-reading the whole manga volumes. Kuzumi's usage of M0 was most prevalent during the Festival. He used it in the eating contest, the race, and disarmament of the bombs. That's probably the only time we saw Kuzumi use it so much.

Respect the mans opinion but talking about the VP being evil - is indeed more for shounen like bleach or naruto. Let's say not evil, but if your vice and the one above you is already old then on a moment you're keen to have that place. The third years are under his direction and I wouldn't be suprised if he knows anything about kuzumi with magic 0 being allowed in this school then he'll do antyhing to oppose the principals principles -> Let's say I don't trust the guy a lot

I somehow agree and the proof: introduction of the BM0
the further the manga progressed the harder trials became for kuzumi to fullfill them without using M0 + Kuzumi is still a 1st year and some of his year's student have gotten a superior plate (eg daimon and a bronze plate, or was it silver? thought is was bronze).

Kano introduced BM0 because kuzumi will need something extra because
1. the trials are getting harder and harder to keep the illusion to the school
2. kuzumi couldn't use magic with the M0 plate
3. kuzumi is part of the EC which makes him more vurnerable to some unwilling trials

Maybe principal knows more of what is awaiting kuzumi. Maybe a years classes match?

If anything, a principal should at least know what school events that would be coming, and seeing as Seinaigi is a magic school, every single one of these events would involve magic to some degree.

That said, since it's still the fall season in the manga since the schools cultural festival always happen in fall, I'm betting that the next school event would probably a Sports Festival. If I'm correct with this prediction, hopefully we'll see Kuzumi cramming around for points first then become forced to represent the class yet again in events.:sweat

Speculations should always be based on facts, and what I quoted showed none whatsoever. Kamisama603's post is only wild guessing without any proof to base a theory at all. In order for us to use his theory that "the VP became evil because he couldn't get a Black Plate", we should at least know what kind of plate the VP has. And at the moment, we don't even have a single clue what his plate level is.

All we know is that the VP is highly inquisitive, he handles the 3rd year students, and knows about M0. That's all we know about him, and I'm afraid these facts are not enough to provide anyone a basis for any form of theory or reasonable speculations.
