Re: (Black) M0 plate: Secret Seinagi Private High School?

Now that we know all of the teachers have Black Plating, I wonder if they were all "exceptional 3rd years" at one time. (Assuming they went to Seinagi)

We know that the school and it's employee's exist to protect the secret of the hotspot and its magic. I believe the schools main purpose is to serve as a recruiting tool for future teachers/hotspot workers...First student's must possess some magic ability to enroll, then after 3years the exceptional ones are allowed to take the Black Plating test, while the rest of their classmates end up graduating, getting their wish, and having their memories wiped of anything regarding magic.

I also believe, like most people here, that black plating will enable the use of magic outside of the hotspot, but the looming question is for what purpose? Also I wonder about the other hotspots, do they have schools like Seinagi or different institutions, do they use plates or some other methods to manipulate magic?

Re: Mx0 94 Discussion Thread / 95 Predictions Thread

I wonder if they have to say "open" or "charge" out loud to make the magic take effect...I know it's a manga, but it seems kinda wierd, wouldn't someone notice? well same thing with "MO"...I guess nobody cares or notices or something...he says that a lot

I think it should be possible for him to use it without vocal commands...
The very first time we saw the effects of M0 it was against the elder Ise, at that time Taiga didn't even know about M0 he just wanted the battle to end and not get hit by the last spell and then M0 activated.

What I really want to know is when will his close friends find out the truth? I don't see Aika getting angry for long.

Yes that's true, M0 did activate however, Kuzumi heard a voice asking permission to use the point in the plate, right? And thus, it brings to our attention that there still lies a mystery on that magic battle as well. M0 communicated with Kuzumi at that time so does that mean the plates are magical beings of some sort?

Also, on a not so serious note, could this be also the way for Kuzumi to not say out loud the magic he will be using like how he has always had to yell 'M0' up till now?

Re: Mx0 94 Discussion Thread / 95 Predictions Thread

We are nearly welcoming to the Mx0 100, and we still dont have a villain This serie is really good for now -magic, friendship, school life, fun and ecchi-but in my opinion it immediately needs a bad guy or new adventures. If this pace keeps on, the serie will start to get boring for everyone. I hope and also predict after now, I mean, after main hero gain some magic abilities, some bad guys or adventures starts to show up, except exams or tournaments. Till now, I can stand exams and tournaments, but this kind of events are enough for me

By the way, I have a question, when the black plate is upgraded to level 2, does only the power of magic increase to 2/10 or the number of the magic could be stored in the black plate also increase from 1 to 2 or more? I didn't understand this part. If only the power is increased, the upgrade is not so useful.

MX0 and black plate combination theory of Fluke32 seems good to me.

I thought the vice principal in charge of the third year's was sort of labeled a villain right?

I know what you mean about there being no villain, but I sort of enjoy the fact that the series isn't SO cookie-cutter.

This is basically how the BM0 works:

As the level increases from 1 to 10 the scale of the copied magic increases. For example When Kuzumi copied Holy Hand it was only 1/10th the size of the Holy Hand he copied. If Kuzumi had a level 2 plate the Holy Hand would have been 2/10ths the size of the copied one. At level 10 the magic is copied exactly in level and power of the original

The universal aspects of the BM0 are this:
- You can only hold one magic at a time no matter the level
- If you copy a magic while there is already a copied magic on the plate, the previously copied one will be erased
- with the M0, if you use the magic canceling powers of the M0 while there is a copied magic stored in it, that magic will be erased (With normal plates, you can use the plates original magic and the stored magic without worry of the stored magic beign erased)

I hope that clears some things up

Re: Mx0 94 Discussion Thread / 95 Predictions Thread

@girdab: I am certain something big will happen. Mizuki remembered kuzumis (in fact former principals) acts as strange, as some others who encoutered kuzumi (daimon and koshi). It wasn't kuzumi standing there and it was of course the principal and they had a strange feeling based on his way of communication. On the other hand, the principal used some great magic skill. Not worse given the fact, kuzumi is to believed a great magic user
@xio: indeed the vice-principal and the 3rd year commitee is not to be forgetten

so my prediction: those events will come together and I wouldn't be suprised if they'll investigate again in kuzumis magical skills (since the former principal showed it). So BM0 is gonna sound like nice music in the ears if kuzumi can handle BM0 well

man mx0 is like a chess game, don't you think?

Re: Mx0 94 Discussion Thread / 95 Predictions Thread

I wonder, if Kuzumi ever where to obtain the last level of Black Plate ( Which he probably will someday ). Wouldn't that make M0 worthless? Since he will absorb 10/10 of the magic. Which is all of it, there will be no reason to spend points to earse it with m0.
Did I missunderstand something here?

I think Kuzumi would still have a defnite use for M0 though, regardless of whether he gains all 10 levels. You can still only use it once per each absorption.

Well, this manga is so funny cause Kuzumi has to act as if he's a great mage while he can't do magic.
Though I agree that eventually they'll find out the truth I don't think that'll be so soon

I think the voice was magically inserted by DHiragii b/c they didn't tell kuzumi about m0's power

I think the timing of kuzumi's secret being exposed will be late enough that no one would dare/want to expel kuzumi...maybe there would be some sort of an crisis, and kuzumi solves the problem; his inability to use magic would be revealed but still everyone would support him

I also believe, like most people here, that black plating will enable the use of magic outside of the hotspot, but the looming question is for what purpose? Also I wonder about the other hotspots, do they have schools like Seinagi or different institutions, do they use plates or some other methods to manipulate magic?

I didn't notice the retired teacher (forgot his name) using a plate to manuplate magic; kuzumi was able to use his M0 plate, and I assume the magic plates works at any hotspots;
It could be that the plate was inserted into the tobacco holder thing that the old guy had, but It could also be something else used to manipulate magic;
But, what could the use of BP outside hotspot be....no idea

 

[Quetz]

Re: Mx0 94 Discussion Thread / 95 Predictions Thread

For some reason I find myself doubting that kuzumi will ever really get all 10 levels of the black plate, mostly because it would get repetitive having him get the same slight power up over and over again. I'm sensing some trouble on the horizon, which hopefully includes the introduction of the series' real villain cast.. (sans the VP, obviously)

 

[Quetz]

Re: (Black) M0 plate: Secret Seinagi Private High School?

Obviously the ability to use magic outside of hotspots would open up tons of story potential;

-kuzumi wanders around fighting random magic users that have gone renegade,

-kuzumi takes part in a series of magical duels in order to gain control of a territory so that senaigi can continue to exist,

-kuzumi uses magic on the outside of the barrier so that it can be strengthened (thus keeping the secret of magic safe),

-kuzumi ends up in a secret society of people who can all use magic outside of the hotspots and ends up finding aika's mom is among them,

-kuzumi just chills around town using black magic to let lucy exist outside of the hotspot, kuzumi becomes a magical errand boy of sorts for the school,

-kuzumi travels around using the black magic to find unknown magical hotspots,

-kuzumi revolutionizes the world of magic by discovering a different set of magical plates better suited to people with low magical ability through the BM0.....

the list goes on and on and on...

Re: Mx0 94 Discussion Thread / 95 Predictions Thread

At least I think he should be able to finish all the level be the end of his third year. It would be vexing if the author just dropped the whole black plate deal and started on with something else.
Seeing this, do you think any of the teachers have a level 10 black plate?

 

[Who-me]

Re: Mx0 94 Discussion Thread / 95 Predictions Thread

DHiigari, and the Principal probably. The VP as well. But I'm hesitant to say any of the others. They probably range from 30%-80%.

Re: Mx0 94 Discussion Thread / 95 Predictions Thread

they have a high level black plate, but maybe kuzumi will be the first one to obtain level 10

This will be a major thing. I don't really think NO one has a black plate. I wonder though how Kazumi will differentiate himself!

Yeah, something like that would definitely make Kuzumi stand out more as the special guy he is. I bet thats what the principal wanted him to achive too, maybe. Seeing how difficult level 1 was, we can only dream of how much more harder the other levels is. Probably too difficult even for some with a golden plate.
