Which Panzer Kunst school was Keun, was it Mauser? Fits the most out of the four, because bullets.
Schneider-sensei is cool, but Austad is still the most Based looking 'meister.

The Mauser school was the one that specialized in hidden weapons, using bullets in unorthodox ways and explosives... I have to admit, Huizenga's design caught me by surprise... but now that I connected the dots, he is VERY appropriate for that school.

Same for Schreier... she looks more like a supermodel... but when I consider she is from the Medoruma school, which seems to be the master of oscillation arts, she makes sense... during the time oscillation attacks were something like an "exotic" art.

Panzer Kunst was one of the first martial arts to be made to adapt to zero-g fights and the use of cyborg bodies and what they allowed a fighter to do, but if I caught the hints well... oscillatory attacks in this time were at its infancy, even in the present time it feels like they aren't well known, mostly because the destruction of the Grunthal and how much that type of skill was connected to them.

I would say too that, because how easy electromagnetic acceleration became to do with cyborg bodies, and the existence of Electromagnetic Karate, the popularity of oscillation arts declined, because as powerful as they are... they can be "slow" and demand a lot of skill to be used well... not that electromagnetic arts are weaker or don't have subtlety to them, quite the contrary, but their intro level is easier, so the scrubs latched to it more.

I... don't remember, but despite him using Mauser techniques and weapons... I think he was Schneider.

Not like the people of each school aren't allowed to learn a few tricks or two of the other ones.

The more advanced techniques, I think, needed affiliation, but even then, a lot of info about such techs was running between the higher-ranking practitioners, and despite him stopping at a krieger, that was mostly because of his epilepsy.

Anyway, I trailed off a little bit from your question... I have a vague memory of him saying he is from the Schneider school, he wasn't from Medoruma, as I remember him saying that, despite being from different schools, he heard a lot about Gelda's achievements and was proud of her, and despite the obviously Mauser tactics he employed... I feel Schneider is more his face, all things considered.

Fantasy martial arts are fun.

I feel like you're right, but I don't recall any specific memory.

Yeah, they are... at least when they are well constructed, Panzer Kunst right up top in the category... Kyojin Karate is right beside it.
