Sange

Sange (散華さんげ, lit. "Falling Flowers"^?) is the term used when a Hero sacrifices a part of her body for Shinju-sama right after performing Mankai. Heroes are usually not told that this will happen in order to make sure that Heroes don't refuse to participate. After each Mankai, the Hero is also given a new fairy to help make up for the lost part. Sange is also translated as abscission.

Cause[]

Sange is done almost immediately after Mankai. The user is unable to use the part that was sacrificed, and the Hero Form is changed to accommodate the lost part if needed (e.g. ribbons to move, sensors to hear).

Sange was taken away when Yuuna made the decision to sacrifice herself to defeat the Vertex, and all body usages were given back.

Effects[]

On the daily life of a hero, the Sange effects them tremendously. In cases like Fuu, both wore a certain article of clothing to help them adapt better. Sange has almost no effect in battle, however. The Heroes' transformations take on a different form, such as extended ribbons for mobility or sensors for hearing/sight, if the Sange would get in the way during battle.

Throughout the series, Sange happens many times:
