Finally reached the end! Hi!
I wonder why Neptune and Uranus can't access their talismans? 'Cause it seems to be causing them some problems.

Personal issues mostly. The talismans are in their soul, but their issues are preventing them from getting at those.

I mean, it's not like they remember having those talismans to begin with. Just like in canon, or at least anime canon.
With some luck, though, we should be able to nudge Uranus and Neptune into picking up random swords and mirrors respectively in hope that they will at least realise they need to find theirs somehow.

Let's face it, after the BoD incident the TSAB medical personnel probably hogtied Nanoha to a bed so that her 'everything' could recover while Raising Heart needed a complete tear-down and overhaul again.

Which does at least mean the path will be easy to follow.

oh, i just sort of assumed they had fallen victim to the current nakewamekes previous erasures- the cures did say stuff haad been going missing
Problem with that theory, they saw the bodies of their past lives holding their respective items, albeit in a heavily degraded state.

You hear that? That's the sound of the Imperial Ministry continuing to lose its legitimacy in the eyes of its constituents. It's so very sweet.

I believe that's just a fact or point of order. A factoid is like a humanoid or planetoid—something shaped like a Senshi, but not a Senshi!

Point of order: the prescriptivists lost that fight a long time ago. Definition 2 is a brief and somewhat interesting fact. And that's a fact.I believe that's just a fact or point of order. A factoid is like a humanoid or planetoid—something shaped like a Senshi, but not a Senshi!

Perhaps, but I'm a grammar tyrant. Using factoid when you mean fact is no different from using literally when you mean figuratively or metaphorically, and I will forever champion using words for their meaning, and not the almost-literal opposite of their meaning.

Ah, so those kind of words leave you a bit chuffed then?
Huh, that's something I've missed…
Considering Naoko based the three talismans off of Japan's three sacred treasures, which are currently in the IMO's possession, I hope when the Outers finally summon them (pretty sure Köre has hers accessible and Setsuna doesn't), it won't cause the other ones to disappear from their treasury…

Given as mentioned the SM versions were still with their SM-era owners the Japanese Sacred Treasures are probably different items(at best based off the Senshi ones, but given Kusanagi sources from Orochi in myth I'm doubtful all three would be.)

Sadly, I'm not British enough to be affected by such a word! Suffice to say that I prefer my words to be understood as best as possible, without the need to give into an expansive vocabulary. I have the capacity for loquaciousness, but not the desire.
Linguistic drift may be natural, but it pisses me off when I can say "I was hit by a car when I was five, and was literally on death's door for a few days," and half the people I talk to will decide I'm exaggerating, just because they've decided that literally actually means figuratively, and I couldn't possibly be literal in the fact that I was in a coma for a week and lucky to escape with only a cast on my leg for a year.
Factoid in and of itself is a massive pet peeve of mine because people who apparently stopped reading in third grade use it to slurp up misinformation, and then get mad when you try to point out that it's false. Source: me dealing with my extended family of know-it-all neanderthals.

Given the level of artifact that the Space Sword and the Deep Aqua Mirror really are, I'd be surprised if a Nakewameke could erase them, even with conceptual symbolic Labyrinthian pseudo-voodoo magic.
Yeah, that sounds like one of those things that, if it were a problem, would absolutely be someone else's problem.
Also, over and above what Grue said, my recollection is that whether the IMO own the real treasures or some very clever fakes is, at best, in doubt. Given that the most relevant events in question happened just about exactly six hundred years ago.

Feel free!
My personal bet is they have ceremonial copies.
Well, the mothers probably are. A lot of other people probably aren't.
Like any mother who disappeared while driving a car? That car has just crashed. And some of those mothers would have had infant children that they were carrying, or bathing, when they vanished - those children are probably injured or dead right now.

Anime canon, perhaps, but not all the canons.
In the manga, Neptune's first interaction with the existing characters is dropping her mirror on the ground in front of Tux to start a conversation.
She's not shy about it having magic powers, but she doesn't call it a "Talisman" until later.BSSM Act 27 said:
Then I suppose this is a wonderful opportunity for Usagi to practice her rezzes!

I'm betting some mix of actual and replicas, especially given IRL at least one of the Treasures is probably a replica(Kusanagi wasn't recovered with the other two the one time they ended up in the sea, and apparently the Mirror's box got burned at some point). If I had to take a wild guess, I'd place the Jewel as being on the 'Mundane' side(it's kept in a shrine in the Emperor's place IRL, and it's the only one of the Treasures that definitely turns up in Symphogear), and at least one of the sword/mirror with Ongoro.

So far, we haven't seen much deviation from the canon episode in terms of what's actually happened, just in terms of who's available to react to it, and how, and what was going on when it happened.
If there wasn't a mass of sudden deaths associated with the event in canon, there may not have been one here either.

They also might be studiously failing to mention what they did here out of fear of reprisal.
One of the downsides of ruling by iron fist and fear; your people are a lot less likely to volunteer information about circumstances that might see them punished.
