Two years later, Hibiki awakens the power of the Gungnir relic inside her body, gaining the same Symphogear armor that Kanade had.
Using the power of song, Hibiki and her fellow Symphogear wielders must fight to protect the innocent and defeat those who would use the Noise for evil.
In some worst cases, using a Superb Song while in a critical condition tends to lead to fatal feedback for the user, potentially killing them and/or their Symphogear in the process.
Symphogears can only be used by compatible Candidates, though some characters can bypass the synchronization requirement, either through the use of a "LiNKER" (リンカ, Rinka) drug or by being fused with a relic.
[5][6] A manga accompaniment to the series, illustrated by Dan Yoshii, was serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Newtype Ace magazine between November 2011 and April 2013.
[13] A third season,[14] titled Senki Zessho Symphogear GX, aired in Japan between July 4, 2015, and September 25, 2015, and was simulcast by Chernin-owned Crunchyroll.
The fifth and final season, titled Symphogear XV, was originally scheduled to premiere in April 2019,[21] but the airdate was pushed back to July 2019 in order to further refine the anime before its release.
[24] The Zwei Wing duo, Tsubasa and Kanade, made a paper cameo in Genshiken Second Season episode KOIBANA3, created by Manabu Kuchiki for a cosplay idea.
However, quite possibly due to mismanagement and the likely lack of a large playerbase needed to maintain the game in the long run, the English version was shut down on July 31 of the same year, with all information about it purged from all official sites.
