Thread: My first theory.

hahaha maybe it could be true well if the creator of msn make it that way lol XP, but maybe because nagi is such a play boy so he probably made many girls cry and some powerful mage who is a female probably cursed his ass down to become a kid without memories lol XP

i don't like the whole nagi is negi because it doesn't make any sense. first off their personalities are different. even with a memory wipe the personality should still be there. second kotaro and the bartender said that nagi was an idiot (them and a whole bunch of other people) and negi is not. negi is always worrying about stuff. third negi does not look exactly like nagi, the hair is different.

Wow. You repeated what I just said? Anyone paying attention at all? Whatever. And Negi and Nagi's hair styles are the same, you just don't see a similarity because Negi ties his hair at the back. If he let it go, then they'd look alike alot. Even if it was different, how does that make it relevant? People cut their hair and set it off in different styles.

(I think this is my first posts... wtvr... hi everyone)

I don't think this theory has really too many relevant holes, cos' the past of Negi is not especified yet. Yes, we saw someone who gave him his "father's" staff and we assumed that he had to be Negi's father. We know that wasn't Al who gave it to him, but it could be someone else, why not? The differences in personalities could be explained just, if we imagine that for some curse or high-level magic to protect x person (let's say Asuna) Nagi lost his age and memories in a permanent way, this soposedly two parts of himself had differnts experiences in life. Now this Negi (ex-Nagi) is tryin' so hard to be just like his father and studied and studied. Maybe he is a "podigy" just because part of his subconscience knos already how to do it. This can be observed in the fight against Eva, when he used the exact same trick. About Negi being thunder user and Negi wing mage... feels like naruto or pokemon all over again :P

Furthermore, Negi's birth, from my point of view, isn't very clear either. I mean, c'mon! who the hell is his mother... she doesn't care? Is it possible to have a child who looks exactly like you without being married to your sister? (well, it's possible, but really unlikely) And who is his onee-chan? I doubt that she is really his sister.

About that comment that Albireo (sorry, Colonel Sanders) gave to Eva about "never meet Nagi again" i'll explain it with just one sentence: "He likes to mess with her". C.S., who also knows Nekane and Anya, when brougt back the Nagi ilusion he said that in his memories his son isn't born yet... I just read manga with translations cause' I don't know japanese. But I don't think he implied that he was already conceived... so, maybe he thinks he is his son, cause he looks just like him.


BUT I don't think this theory can really be true and the reason is very VERY subjetive... I DON'T LIKE THIS STORY... I think the implications are... wrong! absolutly anti-climatic, because (in a way) he's chasing for someone that he could never reach. I would be berry sad at the end (only compared with the end of Ichigo 100%, but that's another story). And I don't think Akamatsu it's a meanie. I mean, read Love Hina!


That's all


(well, sorry for my english, you see, I speak Spanish, so...)

the only hole in this theory in my point of view is 'the guy who gave the staff to negi' if it was someone else then this theory is plausable but if the guy is his dad then say goodbye...

although im doubting that it is somebody else because most of nagi's party is either dead or not the one who gave the staff to negi i.e. Al (colonel sanders) said it wasnt him, takamachi's master cause he's dead, the leader of kansai (konoka's dad) since he hasnt seen nagi in a long time + he didnt say anything to negi about it... "even i dont know anything but that... im sorry negi-kun" meaning he has no clue about what happend to the 1000 master, and his remaining comrade the huge one with the sword really doesnt look like the person negi saw... (if you want info on nagi's party check the picture of nagi and co. in chapter 53 vol6)

yeap, but we don't really know that... We can only hope that is HIS father and not, for example, Negi's Ilusion from Al (In that way, Al wouldn't have done anything either).

If Nagi is Negi then wouldnt Albiero's Pactio with Nagi card be linked to Negi? which would mean Negi would have to have the original card, Also Albiero's card is different from the cards Negi makes(slightly).

Even though Nagi could have wiped his memory and created false memory for Negi (like the meeting 6 years ago), there are far too many people who have known Negi during his childhood for it to have been unexistant. And if it did exist, by Nagi somehow turning into a baby when Negi was suposedly born, he would either have an incredible planning for it to work out that well (which I can't see Nagi doing), or quite a lot of helpers, which doesn't seem to be the case. Or he could have double personality, sometimes being child Negi and, when asleep, turning into Nagi and make preparations, in a Rushe/Dark Schneider style. Which, aside from being slightly stupid, makes me feel sorry of Asuna and Negi's night visits to her bed.

Still, i thought of another theory while reading this one. What if Nagi isn't Negi, but the other way around? That is, instead of Nagi wiping his memory and turning Negi, we have an expert Negi turn Nagi.

I'll explain. Negi isn't the son of the thousand master, but a really talented orphan child found by him during his travels (I'll get to that in depth later). He is raised as we know, met his father and got the staff, and turned into the Negi we know. He trains, does some stuff and becomes real powerfull, and one day he fights against a tough opponent who, to avoid defeat and in a desperate move, sends Negi blindly through time and space.

So, Negi finds himself in the magic world, and not knowing where (and when) he is, to avoid ruckus or being detected he presents himself as Nagi (his 'cousin' Nagi). By the time he realises he's in the past, he is already known as 'The thousand master'. Why didn't he realise earlier? Well, if he did all this theory wouldn't make sense, so he didn't. Anyway, neither Negi nor Nagi seem to be particularly carefull with 'little details', if he didn't know that the spell casted on him would alter time, he wouldn't go around asking people what year it was, right? It even took him a while to realise in the Chao incident.

So, now Negi has turned into the thousand master 'Nagi', he would try to find a way back to his own time. In the proccess, to save the time continium and all that shit, he would try to act as he always heard his 'father' did and disguise himself so no one would ever recognize Negi as himself. Or his personality could have evolved to match Nagi's (he already used all the formality for a hole life in 10 years, after all). The possibility of him falling in love with some chick, marrying her and having a doughter wouldn't be too rare. Of course, he would travel looking for a way to go back.

During those travels, 'Nagi' would find two things: the staff he wields and an orphan baby with great potential lying around, somehow berserk style, and realise it was himself. So, he takes it and presents the baby to the world saying: 'This is my son, Negi'. If his wife had just died, that would be perferct: Negi didn't know his 'mum' and no one to say hey, I haven't give birth to that guy.

Then he finds a way through travel almost freely through time and leaves. Of course, before going to his original time stops in a snowy day and gives himself the staff he just found. Then he does whatever he wants, like going to mars to punish Chao for low attendance.

Now, I do know this has quite a lot of holes, and I don't actually think this to be the truth (meaning I don't expect this to happen in the manga), but I lost 45 minutes of work making it up, so it's worth it. Besides, if I start telling all the holes this has and bring back my own theory, it would be a little lame, so I will leave that for you guys, unless you have anything better to do.

Hahaha this actually made more sense to me then the original theory of this thread. Even as improbable as it is it'd be a funny way to end the series.

In my own opinion, Negi is the son of Nagi Springfield. Both Nagi and Negi have noticable basic differences. One of those basic differences between Nagi and Negi is Negi having glasses. He is likely farsighted. A trait which he may have inherited from his mother. When Negi is in his older form, his eyesight seems to have improve to the point where he doesn't need glasses most of the time.

Nagi is a powerful mage. Sort of strange since he is a magic school dropout. He needs to use a notebook to use a spell. When Nagi uses the notebook, he must be a very fast reader. He is seen using the notebook in Ch. 169, and in Evangeline's dream.

Nagi disappeared before the birth of his own son. Oddly, we don't know the identity of Negi's mother. Some assumed that Negi's mother died sometime before Nagi saved his son Negi. I like the ideal of Negi's mother being alive. Like Nagi, her whereabouts are unknown if she is still alive.

Negi's main element of magic is wind. He does have the ability to use lightning attacks. He is a powerful mage like his father Nagi and his mother. Nagi is able to use wind since he can use wind to help him fly.

Pina's agruement is similiar to another Manga comic book series which I am reading, too. The Series is call "Samurai Deeper Kyo." The main character of the series has another spirit processing his body. It is likely that Nagi and Negi can be the same person.

I do want to know more about Negi's own family. In my last posting, I suggest that Negi may be a member of the Magic World's Imperial Family. Being a member of the Magic World's Imperial Family can explain why Negi is a powerful mage at the age of ten.

In Ch. 169, there is a clue which confirms the presence of the Magic World's Imperial Family.
