Plot

See also: List of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha characters. The series takes place four years after the events of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, during which magical girl Nanoha Takamachi rescued and adopted a young girl named Vivio, who is the clone of the Sankt Kaiser, Olivie Segbrecht. After entering her fourth year of elementary school, Vivio is given her own intelligence device, Sacred Heart, and gains the power to transform using her adult Sankt Kaiser mode. She soon comes across a girl named Einhart Stratos who, similar to Vivio, is the descendant of another Sankt Kaiser ruler, Claus G.S. Ingvalt. As Einhart becomes determined to prove her fighting style is the strongest, Vivio befriends her and, together with her friends, enters a martial arts tournament where they fight against various magical opponents and learn more about their past lives.

The spin-off series, ViVid Strike!, focuses on an orphaned girl named Fuuka Reventon who was defeated by her former friend, Rinne Berlinetta. Taken in by Einhart, Fuuka begins training to become stronger and win against Rinne, who has become a fierce and merciless fighter.
