Broken Blade (Manga) | comment |
Broken Blade is a fantasy manga by Yoshinaga Yunosuke, with mecha genre as a secondary theme. It began serialization in 2006 (starting out in Shonen Blood, then moving to Flex Comix Blood in 2007 and later to Comic Meteor in 2012). The first three volumes were translated into English by DC Comics' manga imprint CMX, but the license was dropped after CMX shut down.The story is set on the continent of Cruzon where everyone is born with magic. More precisely, with the ability to control Quartz; from levitating Quartz crystals (which can be done easily by 2-year-olds) to conjuring it into whatever is wanted, from tea cups to Golem armors. Rygart Arrow, however, is one rare exception: He can't use magic, which is an extremely rare trait to come by. As a result, not only is he shunned by many, anything that runs on Quartz, namely anything more complicated than hand tools, is totally out of the question for him. Despite performing well at the Military Academy in his youth, lack of funds and pride led to him resigning to live as a farmer with his similarly Un-Sorcerer brother.One day, he is summoned to Binonten, capital of the Kingdom of Krisna, where he is reunited with the Queen Sigyn and King Hodr, his old friends from the Military Academy days. Hodr fills him in about the current crisis of the country: The Nation of Athens intends to conquer Krisna and the only diplomatic solution is untenable. And then he takes Rygart into a mine where an ancient Golem was discovered, encased in Quartz. The Golem has been under research and was tested by a lot of mages without any results, so Hodr requests that Rygart, an Un-Sorcerer, try it out instead. Just then, a small, yet highly skilled, squad of Athen Golems, breaks through the front lines to attack the capital. To make matters worse, they're led by Zess, the other best friend of Rygart, Sigyn and Hodr. In the ensuing chaos, Rygart accidentally falls into the cockpit of the ancient Golem and...It also has been made into a six-part anime movie series that was later recompiled as 12-Episode Anime that aired as part of the spring 2014 anime season. | |

Katanas Are Just Better | |
Broken Blade (Manga) / int_12a22bd8 | comment |
Katanas Are Just Better: A katana will gleefully cut through any golem part known to man, whereas regular golem swords are blunted and act more like clubs used to bash apart enemy golems because a sharp edge also renders the blade more fragile. It's used to show off how awesome Girge is, as it takes very precise control of a golem to use it, as the pilot has to cut smoothly as opposed to bash. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
Broken Blade (Manga) / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son" Guy: General Baldr is this for Girge. In the end, Girge sacrifices himself in Rygart's place because he knows he will never be worthy of being Baldr's son since he's a messed up Blood Knight and thinks Rygart would be a better son. This is why Rygart is so broken up over Girge's death. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
Broken Blade (Manga) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: In a manner of speaking. There a lot of misunderstandings between the two armies, such as the history between the two countries. A specific example is when Lee kills herself, rather than let Rygart capture her, leading the Athen's unit to surmise that he killed her. It's justified because, with the two countries at war, there's no real opportunity to actually dispel any misconceptions. | |

Byronic Hero: Girge. It's hard to say whether or not he's this, or the Broken Ace, given that he often acts amicable and has enough charisma to broker a sort of friendship with Rygart; though he's a pariah loathed and distrusted by even his own father for the crime he committed in the past. | |

Character Development: Rygart gets some after an ally gets killed because he tried to take an enemy alive. Then the captured enemy soldier commits suicide. Then he visits the grave of his fallen comrade. Pretty much standard horror of war to a new recruit, but he does end up more mature about fighting because of it. | |

Ragnarök Proofing: Subverted: even though it works, the Delphine's armour and external iron plating is corroded from age, providing virtually zero protection from the stakes fired by the golems guns and has to be replaced, worse still the golem in question is actually rather shoddily built, with the suggestion that it was made in a rush. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy | |
Broken Blade (Manga) / int_60547993 | comment |
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: At first Rygart and Sigyn's relationship appears to be based around this, with Rygart originally unwilling to confess his feelings for Sigyn due to wanting to spare her the ridicule of being married to an Un-Sorcerer, and instead hooks her up with one of his best friends, who is a king. Hodr seems to want Rygart to just run off with Sigyn, despite being married to her. As of Chapter 55, possible that this was an act on Hodr's part, and he genuinely still loves her, but her being married to him would subject her to the surrender clause Athens put up that would require the death of the entire royal line, thus his offer of divorce to protect her. With Kirshna no longer under threat, Hodr now wants to be with Sigyn once again, even though Rygart has finally admitted to his feelings for her. The following chapters establish that while Hodr's lack of feelings is indeed a lie, him trying to set her up with Rygart is, in fact, sincere. | |

Broken Blade (Manga) / int_6411dac8 | comment |
Badass Normal: Girge, who fights Borcuse's bodyguards to a standstill, disabling Niko's Golem and killing several others, in a bog standard light frame golem. Actually the Artemis is not so bog standard given that it was designed to be a high-speed close combat golem. But still, Girge's skill in combat is INSANE, which fits his personality. He's practically made an art form in golem combat. Also Rygart, considering he's an "Un-Sorcerer" who can't even do normal daily stuff that involves quartz before all this, manages to become one of the most important players in the war due to him being the only one who can pilot Delphine effectively. | |

Made of Plasticine: Happens to another enemy mech of all things, when Rygart ups the speed on his while wearing heavy armor. They collide. Rygart's mech gets a few cosmetic scratches. Each of the other pilot's arms decide to go a different direction and the torso is pretty much gone. Oh, and the other mech's pilot was in the torso, and he had a pretty good idea what was about to happen. | |

Broken Blade (Manga) / int_6f07b093 | comment |
Cannot Spit It Out: Sigyn towards Rygart. Made even worse by the fact that she went and married Hodr. Made even worse by the fact their marriage is a sham at best, as evidenced by the fact that neither wears their rings. The worst part about it is that the scene where it's made plain is done in first person, and her confession before he leaves goes unheard not because she couldn't say it, but just because she was speaking so quietly. Actually applies to Rygart too since he actually feels the same about her. He actually heard her confession but chose to feign ignorance because he considers himself unworthy & thought she should find someone better than him. | |

Heck, even the name of the series falls into this—while the katakana consistently says "Break Blade", the accompanying English isn't consistent throughout all sources. Some will say "Break Blade":, while others will say "Broken Blade" (this is what the US manga release went with). | |

Took a Level in Badass: Rygart. He was already a pretty good pilot with Delphine, but he has changed and is determined and hungry for revenge against Borcuse for killing Girge & for all the hell he put him through. After chapter 50, Rygart definitely has crossed this line. Also marks the beginning of the next chapter of the story, aptly subtitled CHAOS HERO. Firmly cemented in chapter 67. Rygart completely and utterly OWNS Zess, with a damaged Delphine while Zess is riding a new model of Golem | |

Love Triangle | |
Broken Blade (Manga) / int_b7e0c5ff | comment |
Love Triangle: At first it looks like one is being set up between Rygart, Sigyn, and Hodr, with Sigyn and Hodr being married. This is subverted when Hodr tells Rygart that he is no longer interested in his wife, and would rather divorce her so she could leave with Rygart and be happy. Recently this has begun to be played straight, as it is revealed this dispassionate stance on his marriage was likely a lie: if she remained married to Hodr, when Krishna fell she would be put to death with him. Meanwhile Rygart has finally admitted to himself his feelings about Sigyn, who herself is still in love with Rygart. It ultimately remains subverted, though; Hodr may be in love with Sigyn, but is conceding to Rygart—or would, if Rygart would just openly reciprocate. | |

Action Girl: Narvi is the most prominent, but there are several on all sides of the war. All of Cleo's female relatives appear to be as well, but serve as instructors or are retired. | |

Pretext for War | |
Broken Blade (Manga) / int_e22dae0a | comment |
Pretext for War: The official reason for the war is that Krisna was supporting Orlando's operations against Athenian interests under the table. The real reason for the war is that Krisna has lots of natural resources that Athens is running low on, so they want to steal them. | |

Whole-Plot Reference: of Xenogears, but confine the conflict to in between two nations in a single continent without any of the saving the world plot aspect (at least during the latest chapter). In addition, the cast here are functionally Expies of the other. | |

Broken Blade (Manga) / int_e96c6f02 | comment |
Shed Armor, Gain Speed: Tyrfing goes into battle wearing enormous plates of bolt-on armor, which only it is strong enough to carry. If those become too damaged to help anymore, Rygart drops them and gets about 200% faster. | |

Defensive Feint Trap: By Krisna to Athens. A fake defector opens the capital's city gates and allows the Athens army to invade inside while Rygart hides for 3 weeks inside a fake wall waiting for Borcusse to get impatient and personally join the attack inside the city so he can ambush him. | |

Groin Attack: Narvi threatens this on Rygart is he's ever insubordinate again. He is, but she gives him a pass. She also threatens this to various male party goers after she shows up in a dress. She demonstrates with a sausage. | |

Unskilled, but Strong | |
Broken Blade (Manga) / int_f25b1ae6 | comment |
Unskilled, but Strong: Rygart isn't a very good pilot, but Delphine so outclasses the standard Golems that it doesn't matter. But when he's up against an enemy ace using a machine strong enough that it can damage the Delphine, he generally ends up in a lot of trouble. | |

Pet the Dog | |
Broken Blade (Manga) / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: General Treue is introduced as a relatively bloodthirsty counterpart to General Baldr. It turns out he donates to orphanages. Somewhat played with when a new opposing flag officer is introduced spending time with his family before it is revealed he is a General Ripper. Treue is more a Hot Blooded than a bloodthirsty general. General Baldr visits the graves of fallen soldiers. Not that he needed it, but it does enhance his humanity when juxtaposed with some of his later statements. General Borcuse actually fits this trope better. Even considering all the sick shit that he did in the war, he does have a human side as he does care about his subordinates & particularly his daughter. | |
