Hmm, second paragraph implies that "Plan Souya 4" was a military operation of sorts, but third paragraph says <<"Plan Souya 4" lost his right arm>>. Could it also be about Meguru/Genyuu, that her arm is also transplanted?

Also, in case it wasn't obvious enough, kanji for "Ancient Dragon" say "Kamishiro Dragon", so Tamaryuu is also dead by 2250...

Actually, I think that's supposed to read literally as "age of gods", not Kamishiro. That falls more in line with the reading of "ancient dragon".

So I'm assuming "Luna the Fool" is Seren.

Yes, she is.

That sounds horrible and awesome.

That sounds like a total deviation from the nonsensical shenanigans that this series has been defined by in the past. Suddenly, Meguru is Homura?

I get the impression it won't get much play just because it's so vastly different from the rest of the series. While a few of these indie strips have gone Cerebus Syndrome in the past, those are mostly a matter of creator breakdown - I'd expect something more like Sluggy Freelance, where a supposedly serious incident is constantly peppered with humorous side-stories. (This guy just did nearly half a year on a parody of some television skit involving smacking kids with a paper fan...)

Tamaryuu called herself "ancient dragon". See post #1416829, first strip, last panel. Can you check if those are the same moonrunes?

Yeah, they are. 神代竜

Thanks. Well, that basically confirms it's Tamaryuu's arm that was transplanted.

Tamaryuu was also called that in the commentary of the comic about how Seren killed her. Though it didn't have the special reading of ancient dragon, so I translated it literally as 'age of gods dragon'.

Re-read and fixed the line about the arm being replaced (and a few other minor changes). Plan Souya 4 (or Operation Souya 4-Go, which Kancolle has taught me is the correct way to translate it) is indeed a military operation. The arm replacement is on Genyuu.
