Reinforce (Nanoha)

Reinforce ( Riinfsu?) is a key character in Magical Girl Lyrical

Nanoha A's, who reveals herself near the end. She does not appear in either Magical
Girl Lyrical Nanoha or the alternate universe shown in the Triangle Heart series. She
is voiced by Sanae Kobayashi. The former Book of Darkness and creator of the
Wolkenritter (Signum, Vita, Shamal and Zafira), Reinforce was reformed by Hayate
Yagami and became her partner.
Reinforce is a Lost Logia and an intelligent creation of Belkan mages whose names
have been lost to time. In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, she is reformatted
into the much smaller Reinforce II.

[edit] The Book of Darkness

The Book of Darkness (, Yami no sho?), or Buch der Dunkelheit, is a Lost
Logia that has been around for centuries. As a Belkan device, it speaks German. The
Wolkenritter, Vita, Signum, Shamal and Zafira, seek to complete its 666 pages to save
their mistress, but Nanoha and Fate oppose their absorbing innocents to do so.
It turns out that the Book has been completed once every few decades, killed its
master rather than reviving him or her, and wiped the minds of the Wolkenritter of
what it has done. However, it was originally a benevolent book called the yaten no
sho/yaten no madosho, but was corrupted by its own automatic defence program. In
the 5-episode climax, the Book is completed by the two "masked men" with the
Wolkenritter's own Linker Cores and fused with its mistress Hayate, becoming a
frightening, vengeful woman who exists only to wreak destruction on the world and
then kill Hayate. The Book almost destroys Uminari City, absorbs Fate into "a dream
from which she will never want to wake," and corners Nanoha when Hayate finally
takes control of her body again.

[edit] Reinforce in A's

Hayate, inside a void in the Book's separate dimension, opens her eyes, but the Book
tells her to go back to sleep and escape the tragic reality. She could stay with her
friends forever, but it would not be real... Hayate cries out that she did not want this at
all. Absorbing the knowledge of the Book of Darkness, she realizes the truth of
everything that has been going on behind her back, the innocence of Nanoha and Fate
and the sadness of the Wolkenritter. That cannot be forgotten, Hayate asserts. She is
the mistress, and the Book has to do what she says. Just as the Book has Nanoha
cornered, Hayate takes control of her body again so that Nanoha can disable it and
Hayate gives the Book a new name, "Reinforce".

Hayate reprograms the entire Book, but something still remains inside that wants to
continue its path of destruction and pain. She identifies it as a corrupted automatic
defence program and says that it caused the evil aspect of the Book in the first place.
Reinforce frees Hayate and becomes her partner. Nanoha, Fate, Hayate, Reinforce,
Chrono, Arf and Yno meet up inside the Book's pocket dimension, along with
Signum, Shamal, Vita and Zafira, whom Hayate restores to life. Reinforce and Hayate
uses Unison Mode to transform into one powerful being that uses the Mid-childa
aptitude and the Belka technology that both possess. The group teams up and, pooling
all of their power, defeats the viral creature. Reinforce believes that she has to be
destroyed for the virus never to return, and approaches Nanoha and Fate to do so, but
Hayate refuses to let her go. She asks Hayate one request to give the new container a
new title, "The Blessed Wind", stating that she will always be with Hayate through the
Knights and the new container. Reinforce then turns into a small form of the
Schwertkreuz, the staff that Hayate uses as an intelligent device.
In an epilogue that bridges the gap between A's and StrikerS, Reinforce is revealed to
not have disappeared completely. A new Reinforce created from the remains of the
first. Known as Reinforce Zwei (Two in German). She is much smaller than her
predecessor but still allows the normal functions of a unison device.

[edit] Reinforce II in StrikerS

Reinforce Zwei from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers

Reinforce II is a smaller version of Reinforce that has been accepted as a member of
Hayate's task force in the Time-Space Administration Bureau; she even wears the
uniform. She can be summoned as a hologram from the Schwertkreuz, and
promotional pictures for StrikerS show a very solid Reinforce II accompanying
Hayate as well.
Reinforce II (pronounced "Zwei") is apparently solid, and needs to eat and sleep
daily; she has a "room" of sorts in Hayate's bag. She holds the rank of Sergeant Major
and serves as Hayate's SNCO/ Chief of Staff in Lost Property Management Division
6.
In the anime, she is shown capable of unifying with other Wolkenritter members (Vita
and Signum) to boost them in battle, although because of their incompatibility, their
union is not as good as Hayate's. When unifying with them, their clothes change its
color to white.

When not in Unison Mode with Hayate or the other Wolkenritter, Reinforce II uses a
blue book called the Book of the Azure Sky (, Sten no sho?) and appears to
specialize in ice-based magic.
