Jewel Seed Nanoha First Series

A Jewel Seed, as seen in the original series

Jewel Seeds (ジュエルシード Jueru Shīdo) are Lost Logias of tremendous power that are the focus of the original Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series.

Involvement[]

In Nanoha, 21 Jewel Seeds are scattered across Earth (primarily Japan and the Western Pacific Ocean) following an interdimensional transport accident, corrupting the local life forms and attracting attention of several powerful mages; The MOVIE 1st additionally implies that Presea Testarossa orchestrated this "accident". The first one to attempt to recover the Jewel Seeds is the Midchildan archeologist Yuuno Scrya, but he is wounded by the monster spawned by Seed XXI and has to rely on a local, Nanoha Takamachi, to recover the rest while he recuperates. Meanwhile, Presea sends her daughter Fate Testarossa to collect the Seeds for her own purposes. Nanoha and Fate clash over the remaining Seeds until they are interrupted by the agents of the Administrative Bureau, who arrive to Earth to secure the Lost Logia before they can cause a dimensional rift. Between these three parties, all Seeds are located and sealed by the end of the season.

A typical sealing chant for a Jewel Seed, used for most of season 1, would be "Jewel Seed Serial XIV! Seal It!", with "XIV" being replaced with the number of whatever Seed was being sealed at the time.

Jewel Seeds are not seen again until StrikerS, where several stolen specimen seem to power some of Jail Scaglietti's Gadget Drones.

List[]

Several of the Jewel Seeds cannot be identified by number:

  • In episode 4, Fate seals and claims an unidentified Seed, which she delivers to her mother Precia along with others in episode 7.
  • In episode 5, Fate steals one of the Seeds Nanoha has previously captured and delivers it to Precia in episode 7. Its number is never mentioned.
  • In episode 9, Fate raises six Seeds from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, which are never identified by number. Three of these are claimed by Chrono for the Bureau and the other three, by Arf for Precia Testarossa.

Therefore, the approximate list is as follows:[1]

  1. Unidentified (either episode 4 or episode 9).
  2. Claimed by Fate off-screen, as mentioned in episode 9, and handed over to Precia.
  3. Unidentified (either episode 4 or episode 9).
  4. Unidentified (either episode 4 or episode 9).
  5. Claimed by Fate off-screen, as mentioned in episode 9, and handed over to Precia.
  6. Unidentified (either episode 4 or episode 9).
  7. Spawns the tree monster, who is defeated by Nanoha and Fate; claimed by Chrono in episode 8.
  8. Spawns the bird monster, who is defeated by Nanoha and Yuuno; claimed by Nanoha in episode 9.
  9. Claimed by Nanoha off-screen, as seen in episode 9.
  10. The fifth one sealed by Nanoha at the end of episode 3.
  11. Claimed by Nanoha off-screen, as seen in episode 9.
  12. Unidentified (either episode 4 or episode 9).
  13. Claimed by Yuuno off-screen before the start of the series.
  14. Unidentified (either episode 4 or episode 9).
  15. Unidentified (either episode 4 or episode 9).
  16. The second one sealed by Nanoha at the end of episode 2.
  17. The third one sealed by Nanoha in the Nanoha Sound Stage 01.
  18. Claimed by Fate in episode 5 (in addition to the one she steals from Nanoha) and handed over to Precia.
  19. Claimed by Fate in episode 7 and handed over to Precia.
  20. The fourth one sealed by Nanoha at the beginning of episode 3.
  21. The first one sealed by Nanoha in episode 2.

Thus, Presea Testarossa possessed nine Jewel Seeds at the time of her disappearance, which presumably went missing along with her and Alicia's body.[2] The remaining twelve were probably taken into custody by the Bureau, and at least some of them were stolen by Jail Scaglietti in the following decade.[3]
