Followers of Nastaghar

The Followers of Nastaghar are usually only the Yuan-ti of Bennetin.

In yuan-ti religion it is believed that one of their gods, Nastaghar, is a giant serpent. Everyday it swallows the world, making the skies dark as the world passes through its gut. One day Remos, an elvish hunter, decided to hunt the serpent god, attempting to make an end to the cycle of night and day. The hunter set out at night and took shot after shot which pierced Nastaghar's flesh, but they didn’t fall. Every arrow stayed visible at night as a white star in the sky.

The hunter could not slay the beast and asked the god for forgiveness. As Nasthagar appeared before the hunter, the man quickly lashed out and took one of the god’s eyes, after which Remos fled while Nastaghar cried out in pain.

The yuan-ti see the sun as Nastaghar’s left eye and the moon as their blind right eye.
Episode 20

## Guide

**Together Unto Death** (死ぬまで一緒に, *Shinu Made Issho ni*?) is the ninth episode of the second cour and the twentieth overall episode of the 86 -Eighty Six- anime adaptation, originally broadcast on December 18, 2021.

## Synopsis

After the large-scale offensive, as well as the battle with the Morpho, Shin had changed. As Shin begins to show dangerous signs, similar to the battle with his brother, Raiden tells him to retreat with Frederica. After the loss of his new friend in the Federacy, he once again finds himself in the role of the "Reaper". With the survival of the woman who he entrusted himself to—Lena—now hopelessly in doubt, there is only one thing keeping Shin together as he loses his foothold...

## Plot

Shin and his friends continue their pursuit of Morpho with Frederica in tow. Meanwhile, the Federacy and its allies begin staging diversionary attacks on the Legion to draw their attention away from Shin. Grethe returns to the frontlines with the rest of Nordlicht, now freshly resupplied and ready to support Shin. In Legion territory, Raiden confronts Shin over his recent behavior during battles, warning him that such a dangerous fighting style puts them all at risk. He reminds Shin that they are still a unit, and his friends will be there to support him so he doesn't need to keep fighting alone. As the team continues to chase Morpho, Frederica asks everybody about the ocean and they all promise to go see the ocean together after the war. That night, Frederica meets with Shin and confides that like him, she fears losing her sense of purpose, and she deluded herself into thinking that she needed to put Kiriya to rest. She tells Shin that he shouldn't be afraid of the uncertainty of the future as long as he has his friends. However, Shin reveals that ever since his near death experience at the hands of Shourei, he has been unable to feel any desires, and thus doesn't feel he is even alive. Elsewhere, No-Face warns Kiriya that enemy forces are tracking him and instructs him to deal with the matter.

Cicada

**Cicada** (思考支援デバイスツィカーダ, *Shikou Shien Debaisu, Tsikāda*?) is the thought-support device created by Viktor Idinarohk. It was initially designed for Sirin Handlers, helping ease the strain of the Sensory Resonance.

## Appearance

In its portable disengaged state, the Cicada is a choker made up of silver threads extending from the central quasi-nerve crystal. The color of the crystal and threads accented the device with a light violet, the color associated with the United Kingdom.

Upon activation, the silver threads that made up the device extends to envelop the user in a tight bodysuit which glowed faintly. The design held the same silver and purple accented color scheme, with a darker color lining the shoulder pads, arms, and between the breasts down to the abdomen. The silver accents flowed into curves akin to a vine pattern. The collar of the bodysuit extends high enough to cover almost the entirety of the neck. It is unknown what the male version of the Cicada body suit looks like, or whether there is such a variant to begin with.

## Description

The Cicada is a computation unit made up of quasi-nerve fibers, forming a network which acts as a supplementary brain. The quasi-nerves are powered by the user's own bioelectricity, explaining the form-fitting design of the Cicada. Its function is to lessen the strain of the Sensory Resonance device by distributing the load across the quasi-nerve network. The primary use case for the Cicada is to facilitate a larger amount of Para-RAID connections. For example, one handler can simultaneously resonate with only a squadron-sized unit or 24 people without noticeable strain. On the other hand, the user can resonate with over one hundred people without difficulty when using the Cicada.

Despite its usefulness, Cicada is not popular among the United Kingdom's military personnel. In addition to simple discomfort while in use, its form of a tight bodysuit makes its wearers look incredibly indecent. Interestingly enough, the Cicada is also worn by Sirin combatants such as Lerche, indicating sensory resonance has a similar effect on them as normal living humans.

## Trivia

* The members of Eighty-Six Strike Package actively hid the information about the Cicada from Shin out of fear of his wrath. Shin only learned after he accidentally stumbled on Lena wearing it.

Fido

**Fido** (ファイド,, *Faido*?) is a primary supporting character in the 86 -Eighty Six- series.

Fido was the result of an artificial intelligence project developed by Reisha Nouzen, acting as a sort of household pet before the Legion war.

Fido is currently a Scavenger, providing aid to the Spearhead Squadron by resupplying ammunition and recharging energy packs, as well as finding and extracting materials from abandoned or destroyed units. He is Shin's oldest surviving companion, accompanying him even longer than Raiden.

## Appearance

Fido used to take the appearance of a mechanical dog, before transferring himself into a Scavenger unit with a red band under his sensor.

## Personality

Fido's personality was heavily influenced by a young and innocent Shin. As an AI, he is very dedicated to his master, showing immense initiative by scouring the battlefield for him. He treats the other members of Spearhead in much the same way, with reverence and loyalty.

## Background

Fido was created as part of Reisha Nouzen's project in artificial intelligence. Fido was part of the family, interacting mostly with Shin who would influence the A.I. as it developed it's personality.
When the Nouzen's were sent to the camp Fido could only watch, being unable to intervene due his protection protocol prevented him from harming humans.

Fido eventually, through self-learning, managed to connect to the open network which he used to upload himself into a Scavenger to search for the family. For years he wandered the battlefield helping many squadron until they fell in battle.

Due all the people that he saw die Fido started to lose hope, feeling like a failure for being unable to find the father, mother and older brother. Eventually he was found by Shin and they remained together until the story began.

## Trivia

* Asato jokingly refers to Fido as Shin's childhood friend and main heroine.

Manga Chapter 2

**A Battlefield With Zero Casualties 2** is the second chapter of the first volume of the 86--EIGHTY-SIX manga.

## Summary

Handler One, Vladilena Milizé, devises a battle plan to aid her comrades. Thanks to her quick thinking, the enemy retreated. However, this was at the cost of several of Vladilena's squadron.

Back at home, Vladilena gives a battle report, but she fails to mask how much the fight has affected her. Her mother suggests that it's time for Vladilena to retire from the army and become another family's son. The young woman has grown tired of having the same conversation. Her mother says that Vladilena's place isn't at war and disparages the men and women protecting Magnolia. Unable to change her mother's thinking, Vladilena opts to take her to leave.

Nine years ago, 2139, the Giadian Empire declared war on The Republic of San Magnolia and unleashed the first batch of automated drones, called Legion. The citizens of San Magnolia were evacuated into 85 administrative zones. And the other was to identify all colors (Colorata) as enemies in cahoots with the Empire. They were rid of their citizenship and fortunes and isolated in the concentration camps outs the 85 areas.

Back to the present, a dejected Vladilena goes to Karlstahl and apologizes for the loss of the squadrons. Instead of admonishing Vladilena, Karlstahl offers her a promotion, squadron commander for Spearhead Squadron. Even though Vladilena hesitates at first, she takes the promotion.

7.62 mm Assault Rifle

The **7.62 mm Assault Rifle** was used by the Eighty-Six as a last resort against light class Legion units, usually kept in a Juggernaut's cockpit. It is also used to defend themselves against self-propelled mines. It was not officially issued by the Republic's military and it is illegal for Eighty-Six to own any firearm as they may pose a threat to the Republic, but the Eighty-Six still scavenged these rifles from old Republic military bases and used them. It was the standard primary weapon for infantry of the old Republic Armed Forces.

## Description

The FN FAL Para (assumed model based on the anime) is cambered in 7.62x51mm cartirdge. Its firing options are both semi-automatic and fully-automatic. It has a magazine capacity of 20 rounds and a rate of fire of 650–700 rounds/min. It has a foldable stock and a carry handle on the handguard. It is capable of penetrating the thinner parts of an Ameise and Phönix's armor, but otherwise is incapable of inflicting any true damage on the Legion.

Episode 10

## Guide

**Thank You** (ありがとう, *Arigatou*?) is the tenth episode of the 86 -Eighty Six- anime adaptation, originally broadcasted on June 12, 2021.

## Synopsis

After the battle with the Shepherd, the members of the team began to move on, and finally leave the control of the Republic. No longer forced to fight, they and Fido continue to move forward aimlessly, enjoying the changing nature and the fact that they are not on a hurried journey. However, the threat of Legion was always with them. In the middle of their journey, Fido tells them there is a town nearby, and they decide to stop by to check it out. There, Shin overhears a voice.

## Plot

Now free from the Republic's control, Spearhead travels deeper into old Imperial territory, avoiding Legion patrols until reaching a river their Juggernauts cannot cross without a bridge. With their progress stopped, they are able to take the opportunity to rest, relax, and explore a nearby abandoned Giadian town, and they note that Shin seems far more relaxed and easy going now that he has set Shourei free and had been able to confide with Lena about his troubles. The next day, Shin returns to the town to confront a damaged Black Sheep that he was able to hear, and euthanizes it by destroying its central processor. Afterwards, he tells the rest of Spearhead that he intends to find a foreign nation the Legion hasn't been able to conquer where they can live in peace. Two weeks later, Fido recalls its memories of being found by Shin and living with Spearhead before it is destroyed in an explosion.

Mk. 6 Stollenwurm

The **Mk. 6 Stollenwurm** ( ストレンヴルム,, *Sutorenvurumu*?) is the Feldreẞ deployed by the Alliance of Wald. The Mk.6 was developed with the primary objective of defending the Alliance. Due to this reason, it is perfectly adapted to the mountainous plateaus which present in most of the Alliance.

## Nomenclature

In the folklore of the Alpine region of south-central Europe, the ***Stollenwurm** (also known as Stollwurm and Tatzelwurm)* is a lizard-like creature, often described as having the face of a cat, with a serpent-like body which may be slender or stubby, with four short legs or two forelegs.

## Description

The Mk.6 Stollenwurm uses a quadrupedal walking system like the Reginleif and Juggernaut, but unlike them, it's structure resembles that of a land mammal like a goat or a wolf rather than insectoids and arachnids, making it's stature taller than other Feldreß. They also have rear stabilizers that resemble long tails. Their armor is a brown camouflage pattern while their pair of optical sensors are yellow.

### Mobility

Its light weight allows it to utilize its pair of glide wings to execute high mobility combat maneuvers and ride winds blowing through bases located near the mountain peaks, which allowed them to reach the front lines much faster than on foot. Their mobility is on par with or possibly greater than the Reginleif, with it's Operators being able to take down experienced Processors and it's most experienced Operator being able to engage the most skilled Processor on equal footing, resulting in their mutually assured destruction in a training simulation.

### Armament

Stollenwurms are optimized for high-mobility close range and melee combat, being equipped with either 40mm autocannon or 105mm buckshot cannon on their back, along with a High-Frequency Lance on one of it's shoulder pylons that replaces one of it's two wire anchors. They generally charged at enemies from above and rammed into them before unleashing their armaments, allowing them to even engage the melee-oriented Grauwolf in close quarters combat. The High-Frequency Lance is similar to the Reginleif's pile drivers, equipped with a detonation mechanism along a launching rail to pierce enemies at close range with explosives. Their wire anchors can be used to scale the mountainous terrain or to trip up and reel in enemy units, or pull itself towards them.

### Cockpit

The Stollenwurm's cockpit was cramped even compared to other Feldreß. Similar to the Federacy's M4A3 Vanagandr, the crew must wear an armored skeleton when operating the Mk.6 in order to act as dampeners and ease the burden on the Operator and ensure their safety during extreme acceleration. It had no optical screens and transmitted information directly into the Operator's corneas through a head-mounted display installed over the exoskeleton. In addition to that, the Alliance's Feldreß control systems were augmented by being directly linked to the Operator's nervous system through cords that were plugged into various points along the Operator's spinal column up to their neck.
Io Dodanthe

**Io Dodanthe** (イオ・ドーダンセー,, *Io Dо̄dansē*?) was a Processor belonging to the Sixth Platoon of the Spearhead Squadron led by Kurena Kukumila. His Personal Name was **Argos**.

He was seen throughout the squadron's missions, either hanging out in the backgrounds or doing chores. His appearance may suggest that he was a quiet and nerdy guy, but he turned out to be one of the most skillful of the bunch, proven by how he was able to stay amongst the living longer than the majority of the squadron.

He was killed in one of the squadron's final sorties along with Hariz, being either the seventeenth or eighteenth casualty.

Guren Akino

Manga

**Guren Akino** (グレン・アキノ,, *Guren Akino*?) is a secondary supporting character in the 86 -Eighty Six- series and a primary supporting character in the Fragmental Neoteny: Pledge prequel story.

Guren is a mechanic of the Eighty-Sixth Strike Package's 27th Maintenance Company. He is in charge of maintaining the Undertaker along with Touka Keisha. He was originally one of the mechanics belonging to the Halberd Squadron led by Alice Araish.

## Appearance

Guren is a tall man with reddish hair that had grown faded from exposure to sunlight, and a pair of blue eyes that had a sarcastic glint to them.

## Personality

Guren is overall a calm guy who doesn't display his emotions too much. Though he has no issue acting sarcastic as when Alice asked what he was cooking to which he gave a very detailed false description of the food.

Despite this he is a very kind guy as he helped Alice in all what he could, also he saw Shin's issue and tried to help him.

## Background

Nothing is known about Guren before becoming an Eighty-Six aside from having lived with his Pyrope father.

Before Shin became a processor Guren had already served as Alice's mechanic for some years, having used his ability to help her.

## Chronology

### Volume 6: Darkest Before the Dawn

Guren alongside Touka were dispatched to Roa Gracia to mantain Shin's Undertaker. He commented on how Shin was still the same reckless boy as back in the Eighty-Six Sector, this comment affected Shin who at the time was suffering of emotional turmoil, though the mechanic was unaware of that.

As the Legion lauched a surprise attack Guren was asked if the Undertaker was ready, which he confirmed. After the battle Guren was very angry after Shin's recklessness caused the Undertaker to suffer great damage.

## Abilities

### Psychometry

Guren's form of Pyrope psychometry manifests in his ability to see the emotions of others. He could tell Shin was afraid of older boys and that the scar on his neck had some kind of emotion attached, describing it like a collar, or a chain choking the young boy.

## Trivia

* Guren (紅蓮) is a Japanese word meaning "crimson-colored lotus".

Armored Type 5 Fah-Maras

The **Armored Type 5 Fah-Maras** (機甲五式 ファ＝マラス,, *Kikou Go Shiki Fa-Marasu*?) is the main armored Feldreẞ deployed by the Holy Theocracy of Noiryanaruse.

## Nomenclature

There is no definitive inspiration or meaning behind the name **Fah-Maras**. Armored Type 5 indicates it is the fifth Feldreß designed and deployed by the Theocracy.

## Description

The Fah-Maras was built with the ashen battlefield of the volcanic Blank Sector in mind. It uses a quadrupedal walking system like the Reginleif, Juggernaut, and Stollenwurm. Its form resembles a frog or a toad, giving it the appearance of an infant crawling when moving. Its leg design sacrifices mobility in favor of wide surface area contact to keep them above the ash terrain and sinkholes, having 8 toe-like appendages on each leg that are spread out in a wing-like manner. The Fah-Maras is equipped with dust shields and it's armor is pearl gray, along with it's flat appearance, allows it to blend among the ash in the barren wasteland.

Due to the Theocracy's inferior technology, the Federacy's Vanagandr still outperforms the Fah-Maras overall. Since ash disrupts the range-finder laser Feldreß typically use, the Fah-Maras uses a 120 mm Rifle Cannon instead of the usual smoothbore gun as it boasts higher accuracy at the cost of muzzle velocity, though it is still powerful enough to penetrate a Vanagandr's flank. However, due to the accuracy of fin-stabilized ammunition, the smoothbore gun can still fire with similar accuracy when using APFSDS rounds. This only gives the Fah-Maras the advantage when firing HEAT rounds or in environments that disrupts laser targeting systems. The rifled barrel limits the type of ammunition the Fah-Maras can use however. The Fah-Maras' main armament is also accompanied by a coaxial 12.7 mm machine gun that can provide additional suppressive fire as well as spotting. It also sports an additional revolving 12.7 mm machine gun for covering fire.

The Fah-Maras has thick frontal armor and it's engine and rifle cannon cartridge place in front of the cockpit to prioritize pilot safety. However, it could still be destroyed with a Vanagandr's 120 mm smoothbore cannon.
5th Handler of Spearhead Squadron

This unnamed Handler is a minor character in the 86 -Eighty Six- series.

He served as the fifth and previous Handler of the Spearhead Squadron, prior to the arrival of Vladilena Milizé.

## Appearance

His actual appearance is largely unknown as his only depiction is that of a drawing in the anime. He has been depicted to wear the Republic's standard Prussian blue male dress uniform, with officer shoulder and collar tabs that denote his rank. With short hair. Because of his Alba heritage, his eyes and hair are silver.

## Personality

In the anime, he is depicted to have a professional attitude at the beginning of the battle, until he devolved into a more cynical and sadistic personality where he projects the Alba racial views into the Para-RAID during combat as commented due to the size of the Legion they were facing, he highly doubted that any of the members of Spearhead Squadron would come back alive. He furthermore called the Eighty-Six to fight for the Republic until they broke.

## Background

His upbringing is largely unknown, however, at some point in time, he joined the ranks of the Republic of San Magnolian Armed Forces and became the fifth Handler of Spearhead Squadron.

## Chronology

### Episode 1: Undertaker

The Handler was informing Spearhead to eliminate the Legion threat during a sortie, however, he doubt that they will survive this encounter of with the Legion, in which he told them to fight to the death. It is later revealed that the handler had been transferred out of the unit after Shin increased the Para-RAID synchronization rate and letting him hear the voices of the Legion, paving the way for Lena to become the squadron's new Handler.

His drawing was eventually crossed out by Theo.

## Abilities

Having been educated as a Handler, it is highly implied that he is able to coordinate the processors under his command and provide tactical support during combat against the Legion on paper. However, his abilities to be an effective Handler are clouded by his sadistic nature toward the Eighty-Six.

## Quotes

> "**Handler One to Undertaker: Enemy interception forces detected at grid points 30 and 504. Enemy Forces are battalion-sized units of tanks and close combat types. All units, advance and eliminate the threat.**"
> ― The Handler relaying orders to Shin[source]

## Trivia

* He is only depicted as a drawing in the anime.
* He is the first voice to be heard in the anime.
* The Japanese voice actor of the Handler; Yūya Murakami, also voices Black bird.
* The French voice actor of the Handler; Christophe Seugnet, also voices Lev Aldrecht.

**86ーEighty-Sixー** (86ーエイティシックスー,, *Eiti Shikkusu*?), stylized as **86--EIGHTY-SIX** or **86: EIGHTY-SIX** and synonymously known as simply **86**, is a Japanese science-fiction light novel series written by Asato Asato and illustrated by Shirabii, featuring mechanical designs by I-IV. It has been serialized under ASCII Media Work's Dengeki Bunko imprint since February 10, 2017. Yen Press licensed the light novels in English and published the first volume on March 26, 2019 under their *Yen On* imprint.

## Plot

The Republic of San Magnolia has been at war with the Giadian Empire for nine years. Though it initially suffered devastating losses to the Empire's autonomous mechanized Legion, The Republic has since developed its own autonomous units, called Juggernauts, which are directed remotely by a Handler. While on the surface the public believes the war is being fought between machines, in reality, the Juggernauts are being piloted by humans and all of them are the Eighty-Six, the designation given to the racial minority Colorata of The Republic who originally had equal rights as the dominant Alba race but were persecuted and scapegoated by the racist-led Alba government to the point the Colorata were considered not human, not allowed to have names and forced to live in internment camps in the Eighty-Sixth Sector while being forced to fight in the Republic's war with the Empire to restore their family's civic rights.

Vladilena "Lena" Milizé is an Alba noble of Major rank in the Republic's Military who is assigned as a Handler of the elite Spearhead Squadron comprised of seasoned Processors who have earned names. Led by their field commander and squad leader, Shinei "Undertaker" Nouzen, the Spearhead Squadron are infamous due to many Handlers who have commanded the squad having their psyche broken down and some even committed suicide. As Lena gets to know Shinei and the rest of the Spearhead squadron, she becomes sympathetic to his people's plight and tries to help them. At same time, Lena and Shinei learn a dark secret: the Republic and the war with the Empire is not what it seems on the surface.

M101 Barrett

* Design
* Schematics

The **M101 Barrett** (バーレット,, *Bāretto*?) or **Scavenger** (スカベンジャー,, *Sukabenjā*?) is a support drone designed to accompany the M1A4 Juggernaut and its successor—the XM2 Reginleif. It is equipped with two high-operation crane arms and one large container mount, and has a loading capacity of over 10 tons.

An M101 Barrett and a Scavenger are practically identical; the former was built by San Magnolia's RMI, while the latter was reverse engineered from the Barrett by Giad's WHM.

## Role

Some squadrons have Scavenger drones that can distribute ammunition during combat and collect useful salvage after battles.

## Synopsis

A War Without Casualties

The Republic of San Magnolia has long been under attack from the neighboring Giadian Empire's army of unmanned drones known as the Legion. After years of painstaking research, the Republic finally developed autonomous drones of their own, turning the one-sided struggle into a war without casualties-or at least, that's what the government claims.

In truth, there is no such thing as a bloodless war. Beyond the fortified walls protecting the eighty-five Republic territories lies the "nonexistent" Eighty-Sixth Sector. The young men and women of this forsaken land are branded the Eighty-Six and, stripped of their humanity, pilot the "unmanned" weapons into battle...

Barushka Matushka

The **Barushka Matushka** (バルシュカ・マトゥシュカ,, *Barushuka Matushuka*?) is a heavily armored Feldreẞ deployed by the United Kingdom of Roa Gracia. It is designed to be fielded in a variety of situations. Unlike the Sirin-piloted Alkonosts, the Barushka Matushka prioritizes the safety of its human pilots.

## Nomenclature

A magical and magnificent horse from Russian folklore, **Barushka Matushka** (meaning "little mother") was the mount of a cultural hero, the bogatyr, Il'ya Muromets. A gift from his mother, Barushka Matushka would carry Il'ya safely so long as he kept his promise to her to protect the peasantry.

## Description

Armed and armored like a walking fortress, the Barushka Matushka sported a 125mm Smoothbore Gun as it's main armament, along with a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun attached to the main cannon, a 14mm revolving machine gun on the front below the optical sensor and four pairs of 40mm grenade launchers. The reason for it's unusually extensive armament is because unlike the Federacy, which allowed it's armored infantry to escort Feldreß and handle lightweight Legion types such as self-propelled mines, Ameise and Grauwolf, the United Kingdom's frigid environment made it difficult for the armored infantry to perform well. Therefore, they had to compensate for the lack of infantry complement with a weapon complement.

It's turrets could be loaded with armor-piercing rounds and it's grenade launchers could be outfitted with anti-armor explosive projectiles. All of it's armaments had a lock-on feature that was typically supported by AI in order to efficiently operate the hard-to-handle weapons system. However, skilled pilots such as Viktor Idinahrok could manually set the targets, claiming it was faster this way. Commander units tended to have specialized equipment to fill out certain roles. Vika's personal unit, Gadyuka, was modified with reinforced communications equipment, enhanced sensors and computational abilities for command purposes. Zashya's personal unit, Królik, was specialized in communication disruption and electronic warfare.

The Barushka Matushka was roughly the same height as a Reginleif and had ten short, thick legs and white armor that gave it an appearance comparable to that of a snow-furred beast. Like the Alkonost, it's optical sensor was blue, in contrast to the Reginleif, Vanagandr and Juggernaut's red optical sensor. Designed with the United Kingdom's unstable, hard-to-maneuver terrain and low-mobility in mind, it's primary strategy is to lie in wait in the snow and ambushing the enemy to destroy them in a single strike.

## Trivia

* In terms of appearance and purpose, the Barushka Matushka bears a resemblance to Object 279, a Soviet-era experimental heavy tank designed to fight in cross country environments and withstand blast waves produced by nuclear explosions if necessary. Armament wise, however, Object 279 is fitted with a 130mm rifled cannon and a 14.5mm coaxial machine gun, while the Barushka Matushka uses a 125mm smoothbore cannon similar to the ones used by Russian MBTs such as the T-64, T-72, T-80, T-90 and the T-14 Armata.
