I think we will be back to magic side in NT 8 since we spent 3 vol (thought vol 5&6 have magic) with Academy City as the stage.

But the #6 might be introduced in Index SSS, so I see the possibility of both magic and science side things happening at the same time.

That was true but I think the stage will change and not in Academy City kinda like NT 4.

Ok. That certainly sounds plausible. We will probably find out about Ollerus's attempt at infiltrating Othinus's group.

We can't even be sure that he did fool Othinus. Othinus might know it's him and is leading him to a trap.

Or Othinus might know and not even care. She could just be pulling the "meh, this doesn't affect my plans too much" move.

Speaking of Othinus, does anyone know if she has to carve the Final Rune into the Earth's core like Brunhild Eiktobel had to when she crafted Gungnir? I don't think that was ever touched upon....

I mean, I remember that the Final Rune was pretty important for Gungnir's construction but Othinus never mentioned it. All she has mentioned so far was the need for the eruption of Mt. Kilauea as a blast furnace and the need for a holistic ESPer but so far, that's it...I think. Maybe we'll find out more soon...

Yes. So far, Aiwass is the strongest character in the Raildex-verse.

I...haven't read the Norse Mythology SS yet. First few pages and I'm getting bored with it. I actually just pushed myself to finishing the Liberal Arts City SS.
But I'm just gonna throw out a random answer here. The method for crafting Gungnir would probably be different this time as Othinus needed a holistic esper in her method. I could be wrong though. I'll get to reading it then. Probably before NT8 comes out.

If you want to know more about Gungnir, then I suggest you read the last two chapters (which introduce Brunhild). Those two are the most important. If you only want to read the minimal amount, then go read chapters 7-8.

However, I would still personally recommend that you read the whole thing. I personally liked it overall, but other people seem to have differences in opinion...

I would say that the best out of the first six chapters would be the one about Ellasone and the one about Alfar.

Honestly, I only read all of the SS stories when I was sitting on the bus or subway and didn't feel like sleeping.

Isnt the holistic Esper the substitute for the Final Rune or a way to get it?
This is the big difference between Othinus' and Brunhild's plan.

And please remind, me how did Brunhild get the info about the Final Rune?

This is kind of off-topic... but these color pictures made it seem unbearable to wait sooooo long for this be animated if it will ever be animated:

They are all really well done scenes. That I would love to actually see animated. They would be pretty funny/memorable. By the way, after reading Railgun Chapter 59 which came out yesterday, I feel like Daihasei arc is not going to be in Season 2 no matter what. It's already longer than the Sisters arc and the level upper arc. So we'll probaly see more of Shokuhou and maybe some Gunha in Railgun season 3. J.C. staff is using the fact that we want to see those characters in order to convince fans to want them to animate Railgun 3 after Index 3, I'm sure.

I personally hope Index 3 is announced sometime soon...

Kamijou-chan's harem chart of women he encountered, updated up to NT7(saw this in AS):

Comments:
-Why is that Misaka Sister who went with Mikoto inside the circle. She didn't meet with Kamijou yet right?
-I think Fukiyose and Orsola should switch places. Fukiyose's closer to Kamijou than Orsola
-Look at the bottom right side below Fremea and Yomikawa and tell me what you see :))

I thought this might make you guys's days like it did mine. So here is some pleasant info.

I looked up the Kanji for Aihana Etsu and translated it.

There are three Kanji in his name:

1. Indigo/Indigo-coloured (BLUE)

2. Flowery

3. Delighted/Happy

You know who fits these criteria ;) Aogami Pierce.

So Aogami Pierce was either the fake #6 or he is the real #6.

Maybe Kamachi made Aogami Pierce be the fake #6 as fanservice :D He is supposed to punch very hard. He smiles with his face like a crescent moon.

I'm excited. We know Aogami Pierce's real name!

Lol.

BTW:

On a side note:

I was reading the Toaru Wiki Page about Kirigaoka Girls' Academy and I started wondering if Kihara Noukan is an esper. I bring this up for two reasons:

1. He is smart enough to be an esper even as a Golden Retriever because of the external arithmetic circuits he has attached to him. Apparently, Isoshio, a teacher from Kirigaoka academy published research saying that most animals can not develop esper abilities because "it requires a level of intelligence equal to that of a five-year-old human child and most animals have a level equal to that of a two-year-old." Noukan is obviously smarter than Kihara Yuiitsu from how he was lecturing her. This makes it appear like he could have an esper ability, because he's probably the smartest Kihara as well as the most influential Kihara.

2. The only way I could see a Golden Retriever being so influential in so many different fields is if that Golden Retriever actually were an Esper / could use esper abilities. (I mean it's a golden retriever) I don't see how you would have influence in a field unless you had some power. (maybe mind control like Shokuhou or maybe something else? Maybe Noukan is the #6!!! maybe? Shokuhou did say she had a connection ability with the #6... and he could be using mind control or some other ability to be so influential? Unlikely, but plausible.) It could explain why the #6 is never anywhere to be seen: if he's a dog, no one can tell who he is. (But he could also be a weaker esper and not the #6).

Furthermore, Kihara Noukan wouldn't be the first Esper Kihara, we already have that Kihara Nayuta from the Fan Fare with Mikoto Vs. Gunha is a level 4 (which is canon). I feel like the most influential Kihara would be more powerful than Nayuta (who's still young) if he were an esper. So he might be the #6?

A third extra thing to note is this:

3. Maybe Noukan isn't the #6, but I at least feel like he's powerful, probably or that he has a strong ability for manipulating others maybe? I feel like there might be a small possibility of him being #6 though since we saw the fake #6 in this book. Misaki says she knows the real #6... she also can't control animals... He would be immune to her in that case... Maybe he is a dog in actuality, but he can transform his appearance to that of a person if he's an esper? They said: even the #6 is a human, right? Maybe that's an ironic hint Kamachi subtly gave us? Being able to transform would make you the most influential person in many different fields... just saying...

On another side note:

I also realized that the critical pathogen freezer was the most important part of Yakumi's hospital because that was the place that stored all of the other Rensa brains. That makes me feel even worse about Yakumi Hisako because she thought to herself that she wouldn't even care if the electrical appliances stopped working. (meaning she didn't care about the Rensas) Though I'm not sure she felt this way because she knew there was no way there could possibly be a power outage.

This is Kazuma Kamachi we're talking about here. The absurd is his forte. After I read "A Simple Monitoring", I am no longer surprised by what he puts out. Just....intrigued.

BTW, did anyone else notice how similar the Agitate Halation plan is to the Bunny Girl's Objective Alice Plan in A Simple Monitoring?

This couldn't be any more true, the series simply facinates me in a way no other series has ever done so in...It's not masterpieceworthy, but it IS interesting and in a fun way!

Kazuma Kamachi just trolled me hard this time. The first chapter and the summary makes you believe that the whole volume is going to be Misaka and Misaki centric (a fact that is reinforced by having them in the goddamned front cover) just to make the reader realize that they barely appear at all, and that the story has absolutely NOTHING to do with them. In fact, the real story as a whole wasn't really much of a story and more like a parody of Touma as a character. The sad thing is that after this, the possibility of a REAL arc involving Tokiwadai Middle School and the School Garden with Misaka and Misaki as the main key characters is practically zero.
