Bardiche (バルディッシュ Barudisshu) is an Intelligent Device created for Fate Testarossa by Linith, and is upgraded to Bardiche Assault (バルディッシュ・アサルト Barudisshu Asaruto) in A's. He refers to Fate as "sir" despite her gender, signifying that he may be as old-fashioned as his namesake, and also only speaks English, although he may just be Midchildan translated into English for the viewer. His magical color is yellow.
Etymology
Historically, a "bardiche" is a type of polearm that was used in medieval and renaissance Europe, especially in Eastern Europe and Russia.
Fans also jokingly refer to Fate's car in StrikerS as "Cardiche" because it has the same color scheme as Bardiche.
Appearances
5th Generation Bardiche in Force
So far, Bardiche appeared alongside Fate in the original series, the A's manga, A's, StrikerS manga, StrikerS, ViVid, and Force.
Bardiche Assault is the upgraded form of Bardiche after being badly damaged in the first fight with Signum's Laevatein in A's. Due to his request, Bardiche is upgraded with a revolver-style cartridge system. Like Raising Heart, Bardiche was officially renamed to Bardiche Assault but similar to how Nanoha still calls her device Raising Heart, Fate still calls hers Bardiche.
In Force, he is upgraded to an experimental "5th Generation Device", which could turn mana into physical energy to confront anti-magic effects.
Forms
Primary continuity
Bardiche has assumed following forms/modes in the primary continuity:
| Form | Description | Appearances |
|---|---|---|
| Bardiche (バルディッシュ) | ||
| Standby Form (スタンバイフォーム) |
Bardiche's unactivated form, in the shape of a golden triangular gem on a pedestal. | Nanoha (ep.4) — A's |
| Device Form (デバイスフォーム) |
Default "staff" form, resembling a bardiche or bearded axe. Photon Lancer appears to be easier to cast in this form. | Nanoha (ep.4) — A's |
| Scythe Form (サイズフォーム) |
Bardiche's axe head flips up 90 degrees and a curved blade of golden energy springs from the gap, causing the Device to resemble a scythe. This form can use Arc Saber. | Nanoha (ep.5) — A's |
| Sealing Form (シーリングフォーム) |
Bardiche's axe head flips up 180 degrees and extends away from the handle, releasing three wings of energy from below the base, looking like a spear. This form can use Sealing and Thunder Rage. | Nanoha (ep.5) — A's |
| Bardiche Assault (バルディッシュ・アサルト) | ||
| Standby Form (スタンバイフォーム) |
Unchanged from Bardiche's original Standby Form. | A's (ep.4) — present |
| Assault Form (アサルトフォーム) |
Identical to Device Form (which it replaces), except for the addition of a cartridge system below the head. Plasma Lancer appears to be easier to cast in this form. | A's (ep.4) — present |
| Haken Form (ハーケンフォーム)[1] |
Enhanced version of Scythe Form, with 3 smaller fin blades which give Bardiche a forked appearance. This form can use Haken Saber. | A's (ep.5) — present |
| Zanber Form (ザンバーフォーム)[2] |
Bardiche's blade splits in two and a spike emerges from the top of the head, forming a trident shape which becomes the hilt of an enormous energy sword. This form can use Jet Zanber, Sprite Zanber and Plasma Zanber Smasher. | A's (ep.11) — present |
| Riot Blade (ライオットブレード) |
Compressed version of the Zanber Form in the size of a normal saber. Appears to have enhanced cutting power as it destroys Thread Cage with ease. | StrikerS (ep.24) — Force |
| Riot Zanber (ライオットザンバー) |
Has only been used by Fate in conjunction with Sonic Drive. Can be switched between two sub-forms by physically joining or separating its components: Riot Zanber Stinger (ライオットザンバー・スティンガー) takes the form of two Riot Blades connected by a string of energy at their pommels. Riot Zanber Calamity (ライオットザンバー・カラミティ) is the combination of the two Riot Blades, resembling a larger Zanber Form. |
StrikerS (ep.24) — Force |
| Riot Blade II (ライオットブレードII) |
Enhanced version of Riot Blade and Riot Zanber Stinger with a different appearance. Can take the form of a single Riot Blade, a pair of Riot Blades (without Riot Zanber Stinger's "energy string"), or a pair of Riot Blades connected at their pommels. | Force (ch.9) — present |
| Riot Zanber II (ライオットザンバーII) |
Enhancement of Riot Zanber Calamity. This form is to have an over-spec warship/aerial-suppressing level of power. | Force (ch.14) — present |
Bardiche's Zanber Form is almost identical to the "Zankantou" (Colossal Blade in the Atlus translation) wielded by Sanger Zonvolt's Thrudgelmir in Super Robot Wars. As a result, fans sometimes jokingly claim that Sanger is Fate's father. In the present SRW continuity Sanger never piloted the Thrudgelmir, and it is instead piloted by a cyborg clone of him with identity issues, similar to how Fate is an enhanced clone of Alicia Testarossa (this version of the Thrudgelmir was introduced after the airing of A's).
