Welcome to my channel, I will now introduce and summarize a little about the anime Zero
no Tsukaima Category: Action, Adventure, School, Comedy, Ecchi, Harem, Assumption, Magic, Love
has published 3 parts Story: Louise is a noble girl who is terrible
at magic, as her attempts usually result in an explosion.
She is nicknamed "Louise the Zero" by her classmates, due to the inability to use any
of the four magic elements.
Early in the school year at the Tristain Academy of Magic, the second year students perform
a special ritual where they summon their familiar, which serves as their eternal protector and
partner, and is usually some sort of magical creature.
But Louise summons Saito Hiraga, an ordinary teenage boy from Japan, leaving her totally
humiliated.
Due to the sacredness of the ritual, Louise reluctantly accepts Saito as her familiar,
but proceeds to treat Saito as any other familiar, only worse, making him wash her clothes, sleep
on a bed of hay, and whipping him with a riding crop when he upsets her.
The Familiar of Zero follows the adventures of Louise and Saito as they help their classmates
and friends, while occasionally blundering into situations where they risk their lives
to save one another.
Saito tries to find a way to get back to Japan, but he also has a mysterious power that allows
him to wield swords and other weapons to perform heroic feats.
They also eventually learn the truth behind Louise's magic inabilities.
As Saito's and Louise's friendship grows and they start to work together, they ultimately
fall in love with each other.
Halkeginia is the continent that the story of The Familiar of Zero takes place on.
Halkeginia's social structure is similar to the feudal class systems of Europe in the
Middle Ages, with magic-users being considered nobles.
The continent itself is vaguely reminiscent in shape of western Europe, with many of the
countries carrying ancient and Roman names..
Tristain is the nation in which the majority of the story takes place.
It is a small monarchical country located in the northwest of Halkeginia.
It is under threat from Albion.
Tristain is home to a highly acclaimed magical academy which attracts students from nearby
countries known as the Tristain Academy of Magic.
Militarily, the country is weak, with only a small permanent force, which forces it to
make marriage alliances with other countries.
The capital city is Tristania.
Germania is the largest kingdom in Halkeginia, and is also regarded as the strongest in terms
of military might.
It is regarded as a more barbaric and down-to-earth type of country, with its men considered to
be brutish.
Germania is located to the northeast of Tristain.
Germania is the ancient Roman name for the region that is now Germany; the natives were
at the time considered by the Romans to be barbarians.
Gallia is another kingdom in Halkeginia, located to the southeast of Tristania.
Germania is on its eastern border, in the Alden Forest.
It is the second largest country in Halkeginia.
Within the Gallia Royal Family, murders and assassination attempts have led to an unstable
royalty.
There is a city named La Rochelle in the mountains, which is a major port.
The capital city is Beautis.
Gallia is reminiscent of modern-day France, which in the Roman era was called Gaul.
Albion nicknamed the white country, is an island nation which is in a period of political
strife.
According to the storyline, a group of nobles known as Reconquista initiated a coup d'etat
against the royalty, and over the course of the story, succeed in killing the entire Albion
Royal Family.
Cromwell, the leader of the Albion rebellion, seeks to spread his power elsewhere, and begins
by attacking Tristain.
Albion is the ancient Greek name for the main island of Great Britain upon which are the
modern nations England, Wales, and Scotland.
The capital city of Albion is Londinium.
Cromwell is named after the leader of the Roundheads during the English Civil War, Oliver
Cromwell, who successfully ousted the Monarchy, and establishing a brief reign as Lord Protector
until the return of Charles II.
Romalia is a holy empire, located to the south of Gallia.
There lies a city called Aquileia.
Reminiscent of Italy, and specifically the Papal States (and the Vatican City, it is
mentioned, that they have a pope and officials who are bound to celibacy), which once controlled
much of central and northern Italy.
Magic The nobles of Halkeginia are magi, otherwise
known as wizards or magicians, and must use a wand or a staff to cast spells.
Not all magi are nobles as some have given up their nobility to use their magic for thievery
or to work as mercenaries.
There are four primary magic elements: Ignis (Fire), Aqua (Water), Ventus (Air), and Terra
(Earth).
Magi have an affinity to one of those elements.
There is a fifth element, the legendary lost branch of element, known as void.
Magi can combine different magical elements or even stack the same element on top of itself
to make spells more powerful.
The power of a mage is determined by how many elements he or she can combine.
There are four ranks of magician based upon this factor.
Those who cannot combine any element together have the first rank, which is symbolized as
a dot.
Most magic students are in this class.
The ability to combine two, three or four elements together leads to a magic user being
referred to as a line, triangle, or square mage.
In myths, there is a fifth rank called pentagram mage.
One of the major themes is that humans and technology from Earth displaced into the world
of Halkeginia are considered to be highly magical since Halkeginia itself has relatively
primitive science and technology.
For example, a magical item called the "Staff of Destruction" is, in reality, a human-made
Vietnam-era M72 LAW rocket launcher.
Other examples of Earth technology, often weaponry, appear throughout the story, such
as a World War II era Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter plane.
Light novels The Familiar of Zero began as a series of
light novels written by Noboru Yamaguchi and illustrated by Eiji Usatsuka under the original
title Zero no Tsukaima.
Media Factory published 20 volumes in Japan between June 25, 2004 and February 25, 2011.
Further publication was threatened by Yamaguchi's advanced cancer,[3] which he succumbed to
on April 4, 2013, leaving the series unfinished.[2] Yamaguchi had planned the series to end with
22 volumes.[4] However, it was later decided by the publisher to continue the series in
the author's absence, due in part to calls from fans to continue the series, as well
as Yamaguchi's family wanting to see it completed.
Yamaguchi had dictated the remaining plot of the series, including its ending, and entrusted
it to the editors.[5] Media Factory released volume 21 on February 25, 2016[6] and the
final volume 22 on February 24, 2017.[7] Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the series in
2007 under the title Zero's Familiar,[8] but later cancelled the release of the novels.
A side-story, Zero no Tsukaima Gaiden: Tabatha no Bōken, initially available as a mobile
phone online serial, was released in three volumes between October 25, 2006 and March
25, 2009.
It centers on the adventures of the character Tabitha, Louise's classmate.
Another side story, Kaze no Kishihime, was released in two volumes on October 23, 2009
and March 25, 2010.
It is a prequel about Louise's mother youth.
A companion volume, Zero no Tsukaima Memorial Book, was released on June 24, 2017.
It collected various short stories and illustrations previously unpublished in book format, as
well as character designs and other information, such as outlines for volumes 21 and 22 left
behind by Yamaguchi.
It also revealed that the last two volumes of the series were written by Yū Shimizu,
author of Bladedance of Elementalers, using Yamaguchi's notes.
