Raising Heart? Isn't it supposed to be Raging Heart?

Nice vector anyway, thx :)

In katakana it is ?????, which could be romanized as either Raising or Raishing/Raijing.

Probably doesn't really matter how it is spelled, as it's pronounced the same either way (in Japanese). The English term "Raging Heart" has some connotations with courage, so that is probably what is meant, and it just doesn't translate exactly into Japanese as it is.

Anyway, I love the vector, it is my new wallpaper now! Thanks OP.

The official romanisation is 'Raising Heart'. Triad use Raging Heart for their subs because it sounds better.

RAGING HARDO!

I have the anime on DVD gatefold boxsets and they use Raging Heart on that during the translation.

If you're talking about the magic circle, I stole that. Couldn't find a decent shot of it anywhere, then I stumbled upon some Japanese guy who'd traced it in Photoshop. Getting it into Illustrator turned out to be a lot more painful than it should have been.

Raising Heart (as in the gem itself) does have a gradient mesh, but they're generally a pain in the ass to use so I ended up stepping back from it and re-doing most of that part the old-fashioned way. I've seen a lot of vector stuff that uses gradient meshes, actually, but they're usually made by people with artistic talent, i.e. not me.

The Nanoha A's DVDs came with little cards which have the various weapons and a little blurb about them and their owners on it - that romanises it as Raising Heart. So does the website for Strikers. Maybe they pulled a sunrise on us and retconned the translations.
