Note: most of this information comes from volume 5, some of it is stolen from other people, I lay no claim.
- CCCCXCVI, or 496, is the third perfect number. Now, I do not know what significance perfect numbers have (especially not in religions, ancient Greek texts, or whatever Akamatsu gets his meanings from). It seems however that it is some sort of power indicator, not in height of numbers, but in it's ''logics'' (Konoka has 13, which represents death and rebirth). Therefore, I would consider a perfect number to be extremely powerful. There are near infinite interpretations of meanings in numbers though.
It also baffles me why Akamatsu chose to use CCCC, rather then CD.
- Tonus: Aurum et Rubor, gold and red. Gold, Silver and Crimson are rare colors with rare items. Apparently they reflect the character's birth, development and destiny. To why Negi holds two colors, makes me wonder if this has to do with the power of his artifact, his twist in character, or both. I can only guess. Albireo Imma too, or Colonel Sanders if you must, holds two colors (cyaneum and aurum).
- Magistrulus Magi, I heard this means ''Little Magister Magi'', but have yet to confirm this myself. This might point to an ability related to pactios, seeing as it is somewhat likely that that is a pactio card on that picture. It's best to wait the week off.
- Virtus: Audacia. Audacia means bravery, or courage. Not much to note. He shares this Virtus with Asuna. And yes, a little courage is the real magic.
- Directio: occidens. Occidens means west. Akamatsu states that it is widely believed paradise lies in the west (from an Asian standpoint, that would be Eden). He also states that the East is the direction the sun rises, the coming of a new day, so the West would represent the end of the day. Considering that Asuna is East, you can see the comparison.
- Jupiter, which hardly needs explaining (I hope) relates more to his character rather then his abilities. This astrological sign corresponds to his birth.
Setsuna & Sakurako : In astrology, Sun represents hope and happiness, but also discipline, moral conscience,
ethics & vocation.
Nodoka, Yue & Kaede : Mercure represents adaptation, movement, intelligence, cerebral, mind.
Ayaka : Venus represents love and friendship, sentiment, affection & beauty
Makie & Rakan : Moon represents unconscious, instinct, imagination, spontaneity, dreams, wounds, dreams, melancholy.
Asuna, Fuuka & Fumika : Mars represents impulsivity, aggression, sadism, passion.
Konoka & Negi : Jupiter represents temperance, honor, desires, assertiveness, self-fulfillment, confidence.
Chisame : Saturn represents sluggishness, coldness, sciences, ( personality) change, abstraction.
Satomi : Uranus represents individuality, uniqueness, surpassing, independence
Kazumi & Paru : Neptune represents those who can "become one with there environment" (spies and others guys like them) and those who can adapt their environment
Evangeline : Pluto represents hidden power, surpassing oneself, aggression, transformation.
Negima is my favorite analyzing game.
totally, lol.
well that clears up what his pactio says. just need to wait for the actual chapter to come out to find out what his new upgrade is.
didnt expect him to pull it out straight from the beginning of the fight though, but cant help it if hes up against some power freak.
and glad that the manga isnt 'taking a week break to gather data for next chapter'
