Counter Bind (カウンターバインド Kauntā Baindo) is a binding spell of mana chains under the Ancient Belkan system. Apparently, it looks similar to Chain Bind under the Midchildan system.

If the spell is cast when being attacked in the cross range, successful rate of the binding is high, but likely the cost is to give up defensing.

Name

The spell may have a more proper spell name in Belkan language, as Counter Bind is only the name/technique referred to by Nove Nakajima in ViVid manga (but not anime), as well as the adaptation of Agito's similar spell in a Force-crossover card in Aquarian Age card game.

Notable uses

• In ViVid (ch.4) / ViVid anime (ep.2), Einhard Stratos casts it when Nove attacks her with Revolver Spike. The bind enables her to knock out Nove with her signature Hegemon Sky-severing Knuckle.
• In Force (ch.5), Agito casts it on Cypha of Hückebein when she attempts to attack Lily-Strosek. It is cast like the Midchildan Chain Bind, elongating the chain from a Belkan Triangle, with some fiery effect due to Agito's Mana Conversion Affinity.
