Talk:Ikaruga

Anime
I think the manga image should be kept until we get a better shot from the anime. - WhiteArmor - (Talk) - 23:14, May 7, 2010 (UTC)

Magic
Hold up, since when has Ikaruga been stated to use Magic? The ryu suffix in Mugetsu-ryu indicates that it's a form of martial arts. Just because her sword could produce fire does not mean that she can use magic. LionsLight 10:51, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

Since her sword produced fire we consider it a holder type weapon and her a holder magic user.  Iam... JakuhoRaikoben  12:06, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

While that may be so, the tone of the Ikaruga and Sword Magic articles imply that it's her own techniques that are magical rather than her sword. LionsLight 12:15, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

She very well could be the one using the magic but since we saw the techniques used through the sword we can only list her as a Holder Magic User.  Iam... JakuhoRaikoben  12:25, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

I think my point was lost somewhere along this conversation. In a fantasy series such as FT, it's possible that schools of swordsmanship such as Mugetsu-ryu are capable of performing such feats as coating their slashes in flame or cutting through dimensions without the use of magic. I'm implying that neither her sword nor her techniques use magic; her abilities are merely a product of her own skill and the techniques learnt in that martial art.

To summarize: She does not refer to her sword or her martial art as a form of magic in the manga. Swordsmen performing techniques like Ikaruga's without magic is not unheard of in a fantasy setting. LionsLight 12:37, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

I agree that it's not unheard of but Holder Magic is much more common and we pretty much list everyone who uses a "magic"(or what appears to be magic) weapon as a Holder Magic User. -- Iam... JakuhoRaikoben  12:43, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

Status
Hey guys, I've been thinking, why do we still have her status as unknown? I mean, they were shown flying away in the anime, and no one, to the best of my remembrance, said there were dead in the manga, and generally speaking we go with the anime if there are no manga contradictions. So... I guess what I'm proposing is that we change Ikaruga and the rest of her teammates to an active status. :P  21:35,7/10/2015

Yeah, I don't see why not. 21:43, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
