Air Gear: Random Theories, Ideas and Speculations.

[Aurora]

As the title states, all random theories and the like, go in here.

[Flash king of Shadows]

I dont know if anyone else has noticed this, but everyone talkes about Regalia tricks and such. And i noticed that: Every road has an average of TWO regalia tricks. There is the Infinity Atmosphere, then the regalia's natural ability. A better way to say it is that depending on the road, the number of regalia tricks changes. I may be kinda of on a few roads but here me out. Keep in mind im talking about REGALIA tricks, not normal tricks. This is including infinity atmosphere.

Flame:Infinity Atmosphere-Infinite Flames; flames are released bigger and easier

Wing: Infinity Atmosphere-Moon Struck Numberless Grappler; everything is a road

Fang: Infinity Atmosphere-Infinite Jail; Bloody king fang; Fang

Rising: Infinity Atmospher- Infinity Max; Lightning Spider Net(http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/224/005/)

Sonia: Infinity Atmosphere- "Infinite Chain" Turquoise Sonia;

Over: (not shown at this moment) road of pure destruction using other's "wind"

Link: Infinity Atmoshpere (Scale)- Infinite Sound; ultimate level of tuning

In the end, you'll notice that there are really very few
Regalia tricks for roads. The number of tricks changes for every road, but thats really only on what we've seen so far....

[KingJarel]

I think Regalia are meant to have there own tricks but I always figured they just make your own ablities much better. Without Regalia Kazu can bring flames to life. Even Agito without his Fang Regalia can fire fangs. I think that with regalia the user can progress their orignal moves and create new ones. It all comes down to who is using the regalia unless its at its max.

[Foolworm]

Nah... Signature moves are separate from Infinity Atmosphere.

Anyway, this for a theory: Orca will play a role in the upcoming battle because water is like Trophaem's high pressure.

And another rant: Damned warning bricked my computer. Can't mods send something less venomous? It's just mean.

thats pretty much how regalias are....they improve ur road by alot

He probably will show up, if she's not afraid of Agito/Akito/Lind!!

[Mr. March]

I have an idea of there will be like a month or two break from the finals in the tournament for several reasons.

Ikki can't really beat Sora's winds when he doeesn't have any knowledge or experience in using his new
regalia.

Kazu will train to get more faster plus get his regalia back (maybe even fighting Sano again)

Akito/Agito have to get their ATs tune to 100% and master his own regalia as well catch up to Lind's level

Buccha will just train to become an A level rider
Onigirl has to train to some higher level lol

Emily gets the water regalia after sleeping forest's defeat

I agree with most of your theories except:
Agito: Lind is just a beast when it comes to AT's. Even the Fang Regalia wasn't tuned he used its infinity atmosphere (well all assume it was). I think agito might allow Lind to use his body by the time the finals come around and will break free and in that moment of power up finish the comp (like Ichigo vs Byakuya)

I see what you mean. But i dont think Agito wants Lind doing anything with them.....

The faults in your post are that Agito's Fang Regalia is already at full strength. It's already in 100% And Lind is far stronger than Agito/Akito. They'll need alot more time to catch up to Lind in skill and power.

Ikki already must have some knowledge on what kind of moves and techniques Sora uses because Sora was the one who taught him. And Ikki had no trouble using the Wind Regalia. I doubt he will have trouble using the Storm Regalia.

Kazu needs speed yes, but not only that. He needs to practice his Time Techniques, Flame techniques and how to improve on strength as well.

Buccha is most probably already a A level rider. He needs to work on his Road a bit more.

And Emily doesn't ride the Lather Road. So she won't be able to use the Water Regalia.

Emily doesnt have a road. So there's always the possiblity

But how can we assume that Agito's Fangs are Tuned to 100%. Nakayama has some tuning ability true but she didnt use a SC suit or have any training on tuning regalia. I think she definitely increased the output but I dont think its at 100%.

That is a valid point.......it might be higher, but not at 100%. Kururu can barely make to 100% without a suit, i think she cant, and she's the queen of that road. Not to mention that even her predecessor (forgot her name) had to use a suit to tune Spitfire to 100.

Wait, I don't remember Ine tuning for Spitfire to 100%. Since because Spitfire was a gravity child he was already fully in tuned with his regalia and didn't need anyone to tune for him, right?

[Flash king of Shadows]

Thats true, but that was the ORIGINAL regalia. When she was tuning him she said it, normally they wouldnt need tuners since they are GC's, but they're not using originals anymore. They are using copies i believe. There are barely any original regalia, just copies of the core. Thats why spifire said it was a pain.

Oh, I thought you were refering to the flashback, but can you link to the chapter where she tuned him to 100% since I don't remember it.

Full power means 100%. When Yayoi tuned him, his Fang Regalia was at full power for the first time.

[KingJarel]

Full power means 100%. When Yayoi tuned him, his Fang Regalia was at full power for the first time.

When was it stated that his Regalia was at 100%?

[SSninkja]

It was never stated. It only said he was strong enough to stop them. Which means he must likely wasn't at full strength.

[White Zangetsu]

When was it stated that his Regalia was at 100%? Not 100%, but full power. Full means everything. Which is hundred percent.

It was never stated. It only said he was strong enough to stop them. Which means he must likely wasn't at full strength.

Agito can't stop multiple Kings with a Regalia that wasn't at full strength.

[KingJarel]

Not 100%, but full power. Full means everything. Which is hundred percent.
It never said that after Nankama tuned him that he was at full strength...



Agito can't stop multiple Kings with a Regalia that wasn't at full strength.
I think Agito was over-exaggerating. Because after he beat Falco the only Kings left was Black Burn and Sora. Rika was tied down by Onigiri, Dontores was defeated by Bucca and Kilic left to catch Emily. Kazu and Agito could hold them back long enough...

[rysaac]

Whenever I think about the overall plot of Airgear I come to the conclusion that it really doesnt make all that much sense. The real problem that tears the story apart is the fact that we dont know what the hell the Sky regalia is, what it does, and how it works. Whenever a pivotal plot point comes up it coems back to the sky regalia. Of course this is something that will probably be secret until the end but I just wanted to know what do you guys think it is? its function? form? etc....

[Kokukirin]

I just think of Sky regalia as a super awesome ultimate A-T technology that some people are willing to trade their legs for.

[pulseroad]

well your right, i find all the time it makes no sence, lets say the part when sora turned bad, well, first they were talking about sleeping forest, to all of a sudden it was all a story spitfire was telling kazu, to nike, who they thought was sora at the time, coming out of no where, standing next to sora, whos all of a sudden the bad guy, and all of a sudden can walk, and then sano and spitfire being real great friends and fighting nike and sora, and kazu being the flame king succesor, and spitfire laying out a training regimin for kogarasumaru, and him being like there mentor, it was really freakin confusing, but, the sky regalia, how much more bad *** could they make it? they already have so many powers and roads, weve already seen the wind regalia, which would be the closest thing to it, and since that ragalia changes into a pair of almost wings itself, how much closer to the sky can it get? unless it turns out that the regalia isnt at parts, but a whole networking, or that they didnt exist in the first place, that it was a legend just for riders to ban together to get it

[Nightdragon]

heh, it could be a network type thing... one where it would pretty much make anyone using A-T's to fly really fly

[KingJarel]

I thought i read somewhere that the case which holds the sky regalia really holds codes of some sort... maybe im wrong. but i think maybe the sky regalia is some sort of machine that was supposed to solve the energy crisis which is why the GC were made. The Sky Link is one part of the regalia which connects something to everything (something along that line) which must mean having the regalia is having control over everything which is why Sora wants it so bad.

[rysaac]

Yeah, I think it has to be something that somehow connects all ATs or something like a network...Why else would the sky king supposedly be the only one suited to use it because he is supposedly the one who can make everyone else fly or some ****. They use so much BAD symbolism in air gear it makes me sick sometimes lol. But i still love it.

[Mikadoj]

It's all become a confusing mess, in my opinion, if it wasnt for Ringo, I'd have given up on this story ages ago

[jackal73]

From what i've understood,the sky regalia is a system crypted that allows its user to control every technologies in the world,maybe enhancing them.In the tower,there is the code,needed to fully utilize it:
_First we know that it is not some parts like the other regalias.Otherwise Ikki 's thought here http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/151/11/ wouldn't have been so wrong.
_Then the skylink is part of the sky regalia.So the sky regalia is probably a software.
_On this page,http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/227/05/ ,nike says that what's inside the suitcase is the access key.
_Here:http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/228/18/ omaha says it's possible,using the sky regalia to control every at's technology in the world.Then kilik and he have stated that this technology was everywhere.that would means that the owner of the sky regalia can control every technology in the world,meaning he would be the master of the world.

The only issue with that is I don't really see how the energy problem would be resolved using the sky regalia.

[Kokukirin]

Since the digital world they fought original SF in is made of a connection among ATs, Sky Regalia would be like the core of this world...It can somehow take control over the AT world. May be it can even affect every AT equipment through this connection.

The AT technology + GC = solution to energy crisis setting does not make too much sense to me either(just like 1059 other things in AirGear). The story isn't very well presented IMO.

The SF fight Koga had was a program. Falco connected to the Skylink after the fight because he's one of the few people guarding it.
The AT tech + GC is that if they have machines that use the same principal of AT. If they make large scale motors (same as in AT) then GC can use them in "Towers" across the world and collect all the wasted energy. The sky regalia is the "Tower" and the code thats in the case which is encrypted is needed to start it.

[White Zangetsu]

It never said that after Nankama tuned him that he was at full strength...

Well, from we are seeing, Agito's Sand Tiger is at full strength. Since Agito is fighting with it and it looks just as good. I can say that it's at full capacity now. And if it isn't at full power, it's probably very close to it. Nakayama probably tuned him again before they fought Sleipnir.


I think Agito was over-exaggerating. Because after he beat Falco the only Kings left was Black Burn and Sora. Rika was tied down by Onigiri, Dontores was defeated by Bucca and Kilic left to catch Emily. Kazu and Agito could hold them back long enough...

Kazu was gravely injured, But I think Agito wanted to fight them all since his Regalia now works. And against both Black Burn and Sora is no easy match.

I agree that it is very close to it, but just like with Ikki's Regalia i think that OG is waiting to give Agito a fully tuned fang so that he can train it and introduce it in the finals. Finding out that our characters are at full strength makes it hard to imagine them being better.

Your right i don't think so either... however it seems that Sora now is alot stronger than Sora before he hurt his legs. I wonder if its Kururu's Bagram or maybe he found a way to train...

[DarknessRoad]

Even if agito is at his strongest doesnt mean he cant improve remember he isnt the original personality akito or lind is im not sure. But he is at least the second personality and hes not the true fang king the original personality is the true fang king so even if hes at his max there should be alot more power he can bring out from the original persona.Like when he takes off the eye patch he gets stronger even though akito isnt awake. so if he can take full control over the original's power he has alot more power to use.

And for the fang regalia there is no way it is fully tune the chick that tuned it (forgot her named ) isnt trained to tune so all she used was her natural abilty.

[KingJarel]

I was reading a few chapters and seen Kiriki using the Gem Regalia. At first it was his back wheel. Then it was in the middle of his AT and it was still activated. I thought it used a swivel and with that attached to the ground and used vibrations? I wish it made more sense so I can evaluate Nike's abilities.

Do you have a link to that page where Kilik used the Gem Regalia? Would have been more helpful if you do have a page in mind.

[KingJarel]

Sure. Here (http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/214/08/) there on his back tires. Then here (http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/220/005/) there back on top.

[DarknessRoad]

maybe its the other side of the regalia if u look at the first picture when its on the back it only comes out from one side kinda like its half a wheel.

[KingJarel]

Yeah but the back wheel is still missing until OG changes it. Maybe its just a mistake.

[White Zangetsu]

The Gem Regalia most likely changes to different techniques. It's a possiblity. Maybe it changed when Nike obtained it too.

[KingJarel]

I don't know, maybe. The ground always shatters regardless if Nike or Kiriki uses it and the vibrations are the same. I really dont see the difference between the Gaia Road and Jade Road. Yet...

[DarknessRoad]

i agree nike's road is a combo but we only seem to see the gaia moves.As for the regalia maybe it can change depending on the user's will(im pretty much just agreeing with white zangersu's idea).

[nil desperandum]

:mad:when will 264 manga come out?
AAARgh! I hate waiting!

[KingJarel]

I dont think they change. The techniques used might be unique to the rider unless you can learn them but i dont think anything changes.

[DarknessRoad]

Then the change in the regalia could be unique to kilik since it was made for him,he probably has more control over it then nike.

[KingJarel]

Then the change in the regalia could be unique to kilik since it was made for him,he probably has more control over it then nike.

Maybe but you dont need to have specifications to use the Gaia Road so im sure Nike learned all the science involved in using the Gem Regalia.

[DarknessRoad]

Even if he knew everything about the regalia the regalia was actualy made for kilik so i would think kilik would be better at useing it .But thats not saying that nike isnt good at useing it cause we know he is. One more thing every Road has specifications thats y u dont see every rider doing every Road.

[KingJarel]

Or that everyone doesnt always follow the same road because they dont want to. Kazu didnt know he was gonna follow the Flame road until everyone compared him to it. It was his speed that drew him to the road eventually but he didnt consider himself a Flame Rider (Funny) until after Behemoth and towards Ikki getting into the hospital. I understand that road has specifications but i dont think the Gaia Road has been developed enough for use to see them.

[DarknessRoad]

True the gaia road hasnt really been seen that much so the specifications are loose, for now until they show more of it.

[KingJarel]

Yeah so Nike has pretty much complete control over the road not to mention his body seems to be able to take a lot of attacks.

[giorno]

Yeah but the back wheel is still missing until OG changes it. Maybe its just a mistake.

It is.

i agree nike's road is a combo but we only seem to see the gaia moves.As for the regalia maybe it can change depending on the user's will(im pretty much just agreeing with white zangersu's idea).
actually:
http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/147/06-07/ wind trick
http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/159/013/ gem trick
http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/160/017/ gem trick

from the same chapter in the volume version there's the wall of air he used to block all of aeon's and spitfire's attacks until that point

and in chapter 162 he does the same 2 gem tricks(or at least something really similar) in combo with sora to kill spit

we haven't seen him do any other particular tricks, i believe

Then the change in the regalia could be unique to kilik since it was made for him,he probably has more control over it then nike.
no, it's just a mistake on OG's part

True the gaia road hasnt really been seen that much so the specifications are loose, for now until they show more of it.
the gem relies on vibration waves of gems, which would make it a "grounded" road(and kilik's run in the inorganic net battle also supports this)

i would say, apart from needing specific ATs to ride such a road(much like the bloody, rising, over and sonia roads....really, the only roads who don't need specific parts to run are the flame and wing road, but the latter requires the natural born capability to "catch the wind"), it's probably one of the most difficult roads to run and thus one with few people actually running it. So far we only know of 3 riders who ride such a road(kilik, nike and gorgon, and nike started riding it after he got the gem regalia, while originally being a wing road rider, which speaks volume of his skills as a rider...)

Yeah so Nike has pretty much complete control over the road not to mention his body seems to be able to take a lot of attacks.
while it's true that Nike seems to have overwhelming physical power and resilience, and most likely does, apparently the only time we've seen him being hit in the whole manga is this one http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/229/15/

[Tenma's Monster]

Simca is a man >> <<

[Trowa]

Ok after looking at the raw/trans for 265 I've gotten a idea for Mikan/Emily.

Emily- Awhile ago in her thread it was discussed that she might eventually become the Gem Queen. The only real down side being she had no training for it. That all changes now that she's in the tower near Kilik. I mean who better to train the next Gem Queen the a former King?

Mikan- After haveing her road revealed as a variant og the wing road. The thought occured to me that she might be the next wind queen. Especially if she gets some training from Uncle Minami like Ikki theoretically will.

Some might say it's unlkely. However considering the recent working relationship between SF and Koga it's possible imo. As they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Both want to take Sora down, so what better way to do it than by working together. Than once Genisis is dealt with SF and Koga can beat the crap out of each other without interference.

[KingJarel]

Koga isnt in the GS tournament to get the Sky Regalia anymore... After seeing the Sky Link and meeting with Ohama they dont want it. They just wanna reach the top and Ikki wants to show Sora that he shouldn't be ignored.

[jackal73]

I think ikki still want the sky regalia,but just to be able to get all the parts he wants,even the most expansive ones.He just wants it for fun(but he still wants it badly),unlike the others who have plans for world domination,etc.
That's what koga is,a team that rides just because it's fun.

Not really Ikki views the Regalia as a extra help that isn't necessary. He wants to get to the top with his own skills.

[KingJarel]

Not really Ikki views the Regalia as a extra help that isn't necessary. He wants to get to the top with his own skills. Exactly; Ikki knows the regalia is not what everyone thought it was so now he just wants his sister back and to show Sora that he should have never doubted him

[giorno]

uhm...no? ikki, and kogarasumaru, are still after the sky regalia, what do they plan to do with it, besides probably giving access to omaha, is still not quite clear, since they're not interested in what they can do with it, they just want it.

Though their biggest concern right now seems to be keeping sora and genesis from taking it....
