2012-07-30T16:17:36Z

OKAY SO I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS IN HERE. Because hoooooly shit Last Exile why.

There are spoilers ahead for anyone who hasn't seem Fam, yet! So stop reading if you are avoiding.

THE SUBJECT OF THIS POST: the information released in the last BD booklet.

Which is basically Dio is directly connected to what you see happened to Claus in Fam.

( AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK AND ESSAY. )

Vanship note: update thing.

2012-06-18T21:29:34Z

Original vanship permissions and info post is HERE, though it won't be updated with this until later tonight when I have time.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME SINCE THIS'LL BE ON cfudnetwork!!!!

Axe Crazy ended in Dio's vanship getting quite a makeover (if you can call holes and claw marks and burns a makeover I GUESS TO ASSHOLE BIRDS NAMED ANKH THAT'S A MAKEOVER), so since the event, he's been working on it pretty nonstop (because flying seriously guys NOT FLYING IS HORRIBLE) and redoing its frame. It's probably almost done by now!

The vanship basically looks the same as pictured in the permissions post, but lacks the "don't seat front please/even though it's the backseat it's pointing to/even though in that guardian angel boyfriend scene they subbed the words as Lucciola's seat" Greeklish on each side since. Lucciola is there now!

And also because with how negative sense that shit makes, oh Last Exile. SO NOW THE VANSHIP HAS A LITTLE LESS BAD GREEKLISH ON IT.

(just a little though: "Kaltafare" you mean Kartoffel right Last Exile)

Head...canon...

2012-06-17T05:37:29Z

Okay, so this went from a 'headcanon about a general What Happened with Dio's recovery' to 'I'll just make a whole life timeline of headcanon shit' and then ended up with 1/5th of a NaNoWriMo.

I'm also still waiting for the day we get actual canon on some of this stuff, but it's GONZO so I will not hold my breath.

( HEADCANON PARTY!!!! )

Mini info drop.

2012-06-09T04:56:34Z

On Dio and his vanship's profiles from the BD booklets (that a super mega awesome anon scanned ;3; ♥) Also added the vanship stuff to the vanship info page. o/

Also Alison and the scanner are da best for clearing up a few of the lines since I was like WTF DOES THIS EVEN MEAN at.

DIO
Age: 18 (note: he turned 19 between the final battle and the epilogue)
Affiliation: The United Kingdom of Anatoray-Disith
Rank: Captain-equivalent officer
Height: 174.1 cm

He is the captain of the Silvius' Vanship Combat Team, but due to the fact that he strongly dislikes being in a formal chain of command, he left the ship to live a carefree life wandering the planet. Originally, Dio was a Principal (#2 position) of the Guild, and a candidate to become Maestro (#1 position), but has abandoned that status.

He has an outstanding talent as a vanship pilot, a clear intellect, and a mastering of martial arts. He loves interesting things, and though he seems as if he only has his own interests in mind, he easily drops them for the sake of those he needs to protect.

VANSHIP
Length: 22.0 ft (not including claudia engine), 39.1 ft (including claudia engine)
Height: 5.3 ft
Width: 6.8 ft
Seating Capacity: 1+1
Power Source: Anatoray-tech single claudia unit, x3 single wheel electro-heat claudia units
Engine Output: 2500 CP
Top Speed: 466 mph
Cruising Speed: 279 mph
Operational Range: Ferry Range 1,800 nautical miles (3,334 km); Combat 30 min. at full speed + 1,200 nautical miles (2,222 km)
Altitude Limit: 33,000 ft
Armament: 2 small-size harpoons

Dio's unit, built from junk parts of other vanships. In addition to an Anatoray Claudia unit, it has an electro-heat formula unit. Although the outer-body is wooden, it has a purely metal frame, and the timber is polished to reduce air resistance and increase its speed. On top of the electric power the Sky Pirates use, the Anatoray internal combustion engine is its main source of power.

The rear is equipped with a very long range, large fuel tank ballast. Additionally, because Dio was very particular about thorough maneuverability and is extremely skilled in the area, and because it is a peaky engine, few other than Dio are capable of piloting it without a great deal of difficultly.

Vanship info maybe?

2012-05-04T17:24:57Z

I'm just gonna post this here since I had it saved from 2ch and there is ... still no other info out to confirm or deny if what they posted was real and no scans from Volume 3's BD booklet where it's apparently in? But we got a lot of info from the exhibits and stuff too, so.

But it says:

"I also received BD Volume 3.
The booklet revealed the specifications of Dio's machine.
750.1 km/h maximum speed and 450 km/h cruising speed.
By the way, here are the specs for Fam.
160 km/h cruising speed and 300 km/h maximum speed.
The Vespa would be slower than the Silvius in the Grand Race."

Seriously if that's legit then Dio. Dio.

A thingy thing?

2012-04-27T16:09:17Z

Which isn't so much of a retcon since apparently I went with the right assumption when I canon updated in CFUD?

On the Fam JP wiki, they got an FAQ up for the final episode, and one of the things they talked about on it was the very end with Dio getting yellow card trolled (something I went OH MY GOD WHY ARE THEY SO VAGUE ABOUT THIS WHAT THE FUCK AM I GOING TO DO WHEN I CANON UPDATE). The answer for the question mentioned the Last Exile exhibit in Nakano going on right now, where there are things with info and storyboards and other things from what I gathered looking through twitter and blogs and stuff about it (apparently Dio had long hair in the early storyboards? Which invoked a few shoops and pieces of fanart...).

And I guess since the answer mentions it it's the closest thing to legit unless they make a note of it in another canon source? The wiki says "In the descripton of the exhibit in Nakano, Dio became disqualified from a fuselage/airframe check, not because nobody was riding in the backseat, suspect that it was disqualified because there was something in violation with the aircraft itself."

And his vanship was what I went with when I updated since ... Dio's vanship was made by him and its statistics are kind of insane compared to the norm of the series. IT'S STILL DUMB AS HELL because seriously no matter what the reason was you'd think they'd check the vanships before the race itself...

Unless Dio just decided to fly up and join without doing that. Which. He would do. SO YES for now I have that and hopefully it's legit because if it is then I went with the right thing. /o/

Now I want to go make a wikia account to correct all of the pages on the English wiki that have the wrong info about it, but if I make an account I know I'm going to go crazy and correct other things as well as add all of the information ever like from the Chronicles translations.
