About the matriarchal aspects of the setting

It been said that in canon women and girls have given greater social standing and power by the dent of being able to used IS system, but isn’t there very few of these systems in general, so realistically speaking it wouldn’t really most women’s and girls at all since it is only going to a very small number of women pilots anyway, and there is a good chance that some of these of these women wouldn’t give a crap about other women as long as they get benefits, and I would pretty much bet even the most patriarchal society are willing to overlook a few women’s as long as the rest are kept in their place, most nations are so going to bribe these women to not rock the boat or even select those who disinclined to do it.

How would a final battle between Ichika and Tabane go?

Unfortunately, we likely won't ever get the final volume of the light novel, so we probably won't see these two have a final face-off.

I wanted to create a way to share our ideas on how it could go.

I think I can speak for all of us when I say that WE ALL want Season 3 of this anime.

It's been 10 years since it was released. It's time we get Season 3, come on bruh!

couldn't the representatives get their own personal IS after they pass the academy?

I mean it feels like it would be more sensible and safe that way even though Charlotte, Rin, Cecilia and Laura earned it physically and most likely having connections entrusting armed to the teeth robot suits to them while they’re still pretty young and don’t know any better feels extremely careless and foolish especially when it's obvious that they haven't earned it morally and their behavior is violent, undisciplined and rotten so their countries governments really should have know that there’s a 90% chance that there's absolutely no way they're gonna be good representives and are going to do more harm than good.

I think the smarter play would have been to just send them to the academy without an personal IS to sharpen their knowledge more and help them become more humble and responsible and wait until after they graduate to give them the suits. with Houki it makes sense seeing as how Tabane doesn’t care about anything especially ethics and thinks she can do whatever she wants simply because she can and know that almost nobody can do anything about it.

The I-S-X-C-S get a visual upgrade

Following up on my previous squad poster post, here is the upgraded look at my Original Characters in motion! I’ve put together a 50-second showcase featuring full 3D 360° turnaround sweeps for all five members of the unit—Mimi, Freya, Synatra, Lola, and Jake—to give a proper look at their plugsuit designs, gear details, and silhouettes.

If it came down to a full 5v6 mock battle, how do you think things would play out between the two teams? Do you think Ichika, the three representative contenders, and his two childhood friends have what it takes to take on an elite unit like the I-S-X-C-S squad, or would the main cast have their hands completely full? Let me know your thoughts below!

My OC's The I-S-X-C-S (Steel Reaper Squadron)

Here is a look at the core lineup for Steel Reaper Squadron, the primary Original Characters featured in my Infinite Stratos fanfiction project. Each pilot brings a distinct visual aesthetic, individual color-coded aura theme, and tailored role within the unit.

Steel Reaper Squadron Roster

Jake Jackson (Callsign: Ripper / Pilot 005): Squad Leader — Leads the unit from the front with sharp tactical focus, fierce aggression, and unmatched close-quarters capability.

Lola Russell (Callsign: Stinger / Pilot 004): Second-in-Command — Fiercely confident and lethal, serving as Jake's right-hand strategist with a high-octane, aggressive combat style.

Synatra Veil (Callsign: Sledgehammer / Pilot 003): Heavy Assault — The squad’s blunt-force brawler, bringing relentless physical conditioning and front-line pressure.

Freya Sworkofski (Callsign: Gunsmoke / Pilot 002): Recon Scout & Marksman — A calculated, cool-headed forward scout and sniper who locks down long-range targets behind her specialized visor interface.

Mimi Nya (Callsign: Synthwave / Pilot 001): Combat Medic & Electronic Warfare (Hacker) — Agile, fast, and deceptively playful, combining high-speed cyber infiltration with crucial field support to keep the squad alive.

Let me know what you think of the visual aesthetics and individual squad dynamics!

Silent Treatment

How do you think the girls would react if Ichika suddenly chose to ignore them? He doesn't talk to them, he acts like they aren't there, yet he whips out Yukihira if they attack him? Even Chifuyu gets hit with this as he only responds in class when Maya calls on him, and when Chifuyu goes to hit him, he blocks her without looking.

The only way this will stop is if one of them stops treating Ichika like they own him, apologize for their actions and promise to never do it again. And even then, he won't speak to them the rest of the day to make they get the message.

Can someone write a fanfic of that?

My idea for a super power/biopunk AU

As the title says, this is an AU where, instead of the original mech suits, the main cast gains super powers from bio manipulation.

The main crux is that this version of Tabane is not an engineer but a biologist, and has created a symbiotic artificial creature that allows a temporary metamorphosis with super powers. The most basic powers are bio shifting (necessary for metamorphosis) and weak telekinesis (which is needed for flight and defense)

Still deciding on the powers of the other girls, but Chifuyu is the easiest. Her power is enhanced bio shifting, allowing her to create weapons from her own mass. This is perfect for her fighting ability, while still being obviously a prototype (literally just a maxed out basic power)

Of course, our main boy Ichika has to have powers, and I thought the best power in this version would be a mimic power. Basically a power that lets him copy his friends powers, but he needs to manually master them through training. This amps up what makes the original so special, and by extension what makes the series so unique. It also gives us more screen time of Ichika interacting with the girls.

That's my idea at least, let me know your thoughts

How would your moral alignment chart for the Infinite Stratos characters look like?

Tatenashi (Chaotic Good): Mischievous, impulsive, prideful and rather inconsiderate but isn’t as violent and power-tripping as the representatives. She also has enough common sense and empathy to avoid needless destruction.

Ichika (Neutral Good): Kind, gentle, altruistic, and empathic but almost to a fault. He tries to do the morally right thing and stand up for others even when he isn't appreciated or respected or if it will have unfair consequences later on and end up triggering a potentially nasty butterfly effect.

Yamada (Lawful Good): Warm-hearted and sensible. She treats her students fairly and does what she can to keep them protected.

Charlotte (True Neutral): has more moments of genuine kindness but her jealousy along with her delusional and violent sense of entitlement ends up making her just as cruel, abusive and oppressive as those who want Ichika as their boyfriend.

Chifuyu (Lawful Neutral): Stern, prideful, strict, and overbearing but isn't playing favorites. She’s not the most reasonable or compassionate person around and is kind of a tyrant but she’s genuinely committed to teaching her students and is probably the only thing keeping violent and emotionally unhinged teenagers with robot suits in line.

Rin or Laura (Chaotic Neutral): Petulant, domineering, oppressive, violent and driven by domination and a belief that they’re entitled to what they want and do. They will do anything just to get their way without much regard for anything and even if it gets them into trouble.

Madoka (Neutral Evil): Prideful, ruthless, callous and vengeful. She doesn't care about anyone or anything and mostly pursues revenge and power.

Tabane (Chaotic Evil): inhumanly intelligent and cunning but also self-indulgent and morally wicked. She thrives off chaos, amorality and irresponsibility.

I can't think of someone who is lawful evil but what do you think so far?
