Equipment
- Rifle: Standard issue rifle given to the flying mage corps, Mary uses it in combat to fire powerful formulas from.
- US Flying Gear: Flying Gear used for mages to act as airborn support in battles, the US version specifically uses skis to help the user fly unlike the Empire's Flying Gear that doesn't require this.
- Operation Orb: An Operation Orb or Computation Jewel is a tool mages use to interfere with reality through magic according to their will, a breakthrough to recreate miraculous phenomena through the combination of both mana and analogue computation. The device is currently a black box, as not much has been revealed about its operation, but its main function is known to process the world's data and convert mana of user mages. The Great Powers had entered a cutthroat competition in researching and developing this technology. In the second chapter of Deus lo Vult, it's revealed that the Empire is the pioneer in this aspect of magical technology through their Chief Engineer Adelheid von Schugel, the man also responsible for keeping Empire's supremacy in magical technology, the culmination of which is the practical implementation of a dual-core Operation Orb: the Elenium Type 97 ‘Mobile Assault’ Operation Orb. Orbs require basic maintenance at least once a month in order to operate properly.
Notable Techniques
- Rage Mode: The user's hatred and a grudge against "Devil of the Rhine" become the source of the power. It exceeds the limits of the Blessed User. The Operation Orb of the user becomes brighter and regenerates mana quickly. However, as a side effect, the user loses control of their own movements and reason.
- Three Miracles: In the Manga, during her trip to the US, she received three Miracle abilities from God based on the prayers of her family.
- A Blessed Future: As her father's prayer, her future has been blessed. Like an étoile in ballet, or a prima donna in opera, she will have an unbreakable will and a glittering destiny.
- Protected by the Miracles: As her mother's prayer, she is protected by the miracles. Swords will break before her, bullets will dodge her, fire won't reach her, and her wounds will heal. Nothing short of a miracle of the same scale can break it.
- Her Prayer: As her prayer, she gains strong magical power and sufficient mana like her father, so that she can fight for the motherland with her father.
- Magic: Magic is the phenomenon where mages use their mana to interfere with the world, a method that allows apparition of phenomena by giving appropriate stimulation to the point of application. Modern magic is achieved through technology Operation Orb, unlike the era of legends, this allowed people to clearly understand in detail the where, the how, and to what degree of power to interfere with reality.
- Prayer Spells: Mary can cast spells by praying to God, these spells are stronger than Tanya's powers. She can blow up a whole battalion (48 men) with only one artillery spell, as opposed to Tanya's, which can only wipe out a whole company (12 men). Her speed is faster than an average human Mage, and was able to take an entire magazine of magical enhanced bullets from Tanya's submachine gun and survived, although barely. Later, in the Movie, her Rage enhanced her power to the point where she took a volley from a squad of Mages, dozens, even hundreds, of shots from Tanya, a church spire falling on her and a full-powered attack from Tanya's Type-95 Orb and remained standing, all the while pushing herself to her limits to overwhelm and kill Tanya.
- Formulas: In Youjo Senki universe, formulas aren't a set of words, spoken or unspoken to invoke some magical effect. Mages have to understand how the phenomenon of formulas they intend to cast works to recreate the deeds such as miracles. It's like the way people understand how to light a fire with a lighter, thus enabling them to recreate the deed through magic.
- Formula Bullets: Formulas are sealed inside bullets or grenades and activated upon firing. Can be initialized with minimum mana necessary for the formula. Bullets are required.
- Flight Formulas: The aeronautic magic, which allows mages to soar through the sky. This magic works by creating propulsion, forcefully raising a mage into the sky and maintaining balance while in the air. The standard altitude for flight mages is 6,000 feet and it's not recommended for them to propel themselves any higher using an ordinary orb due to thin oxygen and massive amounts of mana their orb has to bear to maintain flight. Surpassing these limitations need a multi-core orb. Tanya herself with her gear can reach 12,000 feet.
- Defenseive Formulas
- Passive Defensive Shell: Protects against small fragments, small caliber bullets and blast waves. Can be kept on indefinitely, also easy to cast together with other formulas. The biggest ordinary single shot it can defend against in a direct hit is 12.7 mm, but in a saturation attack, even infantry small arms can weaken and penetrate it.
- Active Defensive Barrier: Increasing the density of the shell in one part to create a shield that can withstand machine gun fire. Whether it provides adequate protection depends on the mage's skill. Ordinary, if concentrate on defense and funnel more mana, it can withstand up to about 40 mm.
- Offensive Formulas
- Enchanted Rounds: Sealing formulas inside bullets or grenades to activate as required. Formulas can be activated with minimal mana, but the rounds need to be prepared.
- Penetration Formula: As implied in the name, enhancing penetrating power of the rounds.
- Homing Cluster Shot: Any bullets that imbued with this formula will split into several homing projectiles upon reaching a certain range and will seek out the target.
- Artillery Shots: Any bullets that are imbued with this formula will have its firepower enhanced to be comparable to artillery shots. It needs several layers control equation to converge the power. With Type 95, Tanya can shoot the magic bombardment that has similar power to 28 cm gun.
- Long-Range Sniping Formula: A major attack made up of multiple formulas. Normally, anyone leisurely launching this in the middle of a battlefield would end up pummeled by anti-magic artillery.
- Enchanted Rounds: Sealing formulas inside bullets or grenades to activate as required. Formulas can be activated with minimal mana, but the rounds need to be prepared.
- Optical Formulas: Emits a straight heat beam. Skilled mages can refract it to change its course. Noted to be the favored formula of Republican mage for their volley of fire doctrine. In the Movie, instead of attacking with magically enhanced bullets, she instead uses "Optical-type spells"; powerful pink lasers that can destroy dozens of streets and buildings with a single beam, of which she can rapidly fire.
- Explosive Formulas: Explosive Formulas: Creates an explosion at any coordinate. Converted to gunpowder, the power of Heavy Explosion Formulas are 150 kilos at most.
- Guided Interference Formulas: Directing a formula's trajectory, could be used for offensive and defensive purposes. It also could be used to interfere with radio signals.
- Combustion Formulas
- Napalm-Type: A large-scale formula that usually used in trench and unconventional war. It will cause strong mana signal, fire, huge explosion and blast. It isn't efficient in encounter battles or high-maneuver warfare.
- Explosive Vaporization: A practical combustion formula when attacking the target in buildings.
- Detection/Support Formulas
- Optical Decoy Forumla: Creates an illusion that will interfere with the visual senses of those around the user when cast. Skilled mages can easily differentiate between what is real and the illusion, especially since this formula is inclusively targeting sight and nothing else.
- Observation Formula: Processes data of a Mage's surroundings, uses vary from locking on target coordinates, detecting observational waves, and analyzing an enemy's mana signature. In the anime, this formula takes the form of a holographic screen while in the manga it's akin to a halo above the user.
- Heat Detection Formula: An impractical formula that is hard to handle even for Tanya. In volume 2, she once considered shoot the enemy bombers with the attack formula paralleling this one.
- Other Formula
- Analgesic Formula: Doping up the target with it. It can improve the target's reaction time, increase instantaneous strength, and work as analgesic.
- Medical Formula: Easing the pain and curing light wounds. With more advanced magic treatment, it can cure the serious injury by gunshot as well.
- Magic Interference: The spread of high-density mana that can cause the noise and jamming to the radio equipment and haze the video with static. That basically makes communication units on the battlefield where mages involve in get paralyzed or perform electronic countermeasures.
- Magic Communication: The radio communication between mages. While using a special format with directional waves via orbs, the high density of magic remaining will create ear-piercing noise to the radio messages.
- Dehydration Formula: In manga chapter 30, Weiss once threatened the recruits to turn them into dry fishes by this formula.
- Voice Amplification Formula: Increasing the volume of the user.
Other
Standard Tactics: Mary will fly around and fire at the opponent from far or close distances.
Weaknesses: Her rage mode makes her lose control of movement and reason. Her most powerful artillery spells drain a high amount of mana. She is heavily inexperienced, if another protected by miracles battles her, they will negate her miracles granted (in-universe only weakness). Defensive formula shells have two variants: Passive and Active. The Passive shell covers the entire body but is much weaker, protecting only from shrapnel, bullets, and blast waves. The Active shell is much stronger, capable of stopping multiple artillery rounds, but it requires high concentration to utilize and is mostly focused towards one direction, heavily depending on the mage's skill and amount of mana. This makes maintaining an active shell highly impractical, leading most mages to swap between the two to conserve magic, though this doesn't fully apply to Mary Sue due to her large mana pool.
Note: While Faster Than Light may seem weird as a big thing in the verse of Youjo Senki is characters being in battles with bullets constantly being shot at them, the bullets are actually consistently amplified in power and speed, thus bullets give no real contradiction. Optic Formulas are also all light attacks, with any reason for their explosions or bending is due to the wielder bending or causing them to explode with their magic. Thus there is no contradiction with the Light Dodging Feats requirements.
Note 2: While it's also heavily implied they cannot react to moving at 300 kmh along with moving at Mach 1.5, these two are contradicted by the fact that to hit mage units, characters need to amplifiy the speed of their bullets, which wouldn't make sense if they cannot reach Mach 0.37 in speed.
Note 3: The manga, light novel, and anime are all essentially canon to each other with the most minor contradictions and changes to the point that they are essentially seen as all the same canon. Even with the minor contradictions in the way they can simply be ignored as they do not mess with the overall flow of the story and thus all material from the anime, manga, and light novel can be used on this profile. The web novel however, is not canon as it is the official draft made by Carlo Zen before the original LN published to the public.
Note 4: Mary Sue's negation ability realistically should negate any immortality (outside of the obvious one's that are more potent or she can't reach), as it negates anything viewed as a miracle or a blessing, even one's naturally innate physiology should be negated by Mary allowing her to affect them.
Note 5: Mary Sue's miracles negations can affect the miracles of all the gods such as Being X, who exists in the realm of the gods, a realm beyond all perceptions where the gods attempt to have the humans transcend to a higher plane of existence to be near this state of existence, being beyond reality[11].
Trivia
- Her name "Mary Sue" or "Mary Sioux" comes from the trope Mary Sue.

[Everyone, this is serious.]
In a corner of the realm of the gods, the [existences] there were honestly troubled. This wasn’t just what they were thinking honestly, but stemmed from their goodwill as well.
[As everyone knows, the number of humans with faith is decreasing rapidly.]
[It is too difficult to develop a civilization while maintaining religious devotion.]
Be it leading man to a higher plane of existence or staying true to the basic policy of nonintervention, the “circle of rebirth” system was reaching its limits.
The more the world develops and the people become happy, the further the erosion of faith. There were no nightmares worse than that for the system.
[What about the test conducted earlier?]
[It is less effective than expected. Even after they acknowledged supernatural phenomenon, there was no further reaction.]
The archangel with extremist view believed that they should trigger supernatural phenomenon to stir the faith of the people. They tried mimicking the event of Moses and displayed supernatural phenomenon, but the results were disappointing. It would be explained by science one day.
The reaction of the people to supernatural phenomenon was that it could not be understood as of now. Since they couldn’t understand it, it merely became the subject of their research.
[It’s not going well after all.]
[But why? In the past, we just need to talk to them, and they will understand that we are gods.]
[They even proactively called out for us.]
That’s right. During the era when faith was deep, they could communicate easily by conversing with them. Not only that, some even took the initiative to seek the presence of the gods. But that was rare nowadays. Voices seeking redemption came up just as seldom.
Why was that? They couldn’t understand no matter how hard they thought; it was important to investigate the successful cases as well. That was a rational approach. And so, they took action with sublime ideas and sense of duty, researching all the examples from mythology to the modern age. For them, the age of mythology was just a past memory. If they wished to investigate them one by one, it was possible to complete such a task.
[...The answer lies in the grace of the gods right?]
From the conclusion, this was a practical answer.
[What do you mean?]
[In the past, before men developed their civilization, we intervened and protected them when they suffered disaster they couldn’t avert themselves.]
For modern nations, a storm was no longer a threat. Typhoons couldn’t destroy a country anymore; it couldn’t even crack the beams of a building. For most nations, storms and floods would only disable the functionalities of a city.
In contrast to the past, entire farmlands would be devastated from a storm, people washed away by the flood and families broken because of catastrophes. That was why the gods restrained themselves, and didn’t intervene if the people didn’t will for it. And thus they were forgotten by men.
Prompting men to be independent was to let them grow, which was an important element in order for them to move on to a higher plane of thought. That was why no one expected that it would also lead to men losing faith.
The people from ancient times would praise the grace of gods, and the empire of Rome was devoted to the gods. After the fall of Rome, the church controlled the entire middle ages in the name of God. However, the lords advocated the divine right of kings, eroding the powers of the church gradually. Then, scientists no longer sought religious devotion, instead seeking for the truth of the world created by gods. As a result, this made men lose their religious faith over time.
[That’s right, as civilization is developing at a good pace, we decided that intervening would stunt their growth, that’s why we left them be.]
[But on the other hand, isn’t that the main reason why it is hard for them to acknowledge us?]
From their perspective, they have no intention of hindering the growth of mankind. In fact, this was the result they were hoping for in their initial plan.
To seek the truth behind the workings of the gods. The natural sciences which stemmed from such thoughts was very much welcomed and not detested. They evolved from celebrating the idea of not thinking for themselves, into the worship of understanding the foundation of our very nature. Following this logic, the people will reach a higher level of philosophy. The gods think this was a memorable first step.
However, the plan backfired and led to serious problems. And it was unstoppable. After all, there were too many worlds that had been cultivated with such a standard model.
[Ughhh, if that was the case, it would be very difficult.]
The group fell into deep thought. If they couldn’t solve the problem with simple amendments, the issue would take a lot of effort to settle. That would be very troublesome. And it could be foreseen that the longer they leave the problem alone, the worse it would get.
[Ideas, anyone?]
At this moment, the angel of wisdom did not let down the expectations placed on him, and outlined a proposal he had after considering the issue carefully. First, he postulated that there wasn’t any problem with their policy. Basically, if they could come up with a system to make up for the loss in faith, all would be well.
[And so, we have to make a minute adjustment after all, in order to stir the faith of the people.]
This proposal was accepted almost unanimously. However, they had already exhausted all the methods they could think of.
[I understand the direction you are proposing. But what should we do specifically?
[I am not very confident about this, but how about bestowing a new holy relic to the world③?]
[Hmm? What do you mean?]
Talking about holy relics, the ones already bestowed to the world were as plentiful as the stars. Although the distribution was uneven because of the country and geography, the number was more than enough. In terms of raising faith, this method wasn’t very successful. It was treasured by the people because of its historical significance at the very most.
[The bestowed holy relic is treasured and carefully preserved, fulfilling its role in letting the masses know about the grace of the gods.]
However, they didn’t know the actual status of the divine relics. They lived for too long after all. They still have the memories of the time they bestowed the holy relics to men, but they didn’t pay attention to later developments. They only discovered that the divine relic had been relegated to decorations after investigations.
[I see, that’s why they have forgotten about faith and prayers. How ironic…]
They were no longer an essential existence. That was all there was to it, but they couldn’t help feeling emotional about it. However they didn’t plan to force the people to accept religion one-sidedly.
But if they don’t do so, it was inevitable that the system will yield depressing results. To let people seek to understand faith spontaneously, shouldn’t they bestow divine relics periodically in necessary places?
They agreed that this opinion was worth a try.
[In that case, let’s teach them words of prayer, and bestow a divine relic they need onto the world.]
[A splendid idea. Let’s do it.]
[I just happen to have something suitable.]
And so, the details were decided rather quickly. Even in the eyes of these gods with their slow and easy-going nature, the problems that appeared were rather serious. And so they took the entire discussion seriously, and did not slip up in a fashion that was unique to the gods of mythology, scrutinizing the process faithfully.
[Oh?]
[Someone in the mortal world is researching a product that is just a step from the realm of the gods—which they should be able to realize about one thousand years in the future.]
[Oh, an outlier. Can we contact this human?]
It was rare, but during many past instances in various world, there were humans who reached a realm very close to the gods through their research of natural sciences. Such cases were rare and exceptional, but there was still precedence. In the current circumstances, everyone felt that this was the best way.
[He should realize by now that he has ways to go. If we show him the works of the gods, he would be quite grateful.]
[Should we bestow the holy relic right there?]
[No, a miracle is what we need to bestow.]
[A miracle?]"
