The ending with ToumaxMisaka was so cute. I loved how Index blushed while talking to Touma while he was being hauled away to Academy City's jet. |

Turns out its foreshadowing that anyone can look forward to. belatkuro said: Speaking of Kanzaki, I don't understand what Tsuchimikado meant by her troubling Touma again. When he saved index, helped stop Gabriel, and helped save the amakusas twice. edit: merged posts. |

Gangler said: He's about as selfish as any of the mormon missionaries who give two years of their young lives to preach the word of their lord without profit or gain. Huh, I don't recall attempting to annihilate cities on my mission. Maybe I was doing it wrong. Also, woot, Biribiri next episode. |

I don't see whats wrong with Touma being treated anywhere but Academy City it's not like Imagine Breaker shows up on any tests. I like how when looking for Touma Misaka goes to the hospital and leaves a message with the frog faced doctor. what volume does the next major event with Accelerator occur when he fights that other guy? |

Huh, I don't recall attempting to annihilate cities on my mission. Maybe I was doing it wrong. Also, woot, Biribiri next episode. Lol. No you don't. That's because you're a member of a much kinder religion than wakamoto over here. Try and keep in mind that when the catholic church was big on missionary work, going out, exploring the world, spreading the word of god, that cultural genocide was a huge part of the process (The destroying of a culture w/o necessarily killing). The fact that you're part of a relatively new religion that hasn't had time to get corrupted is nice. It means you have an abundance of ways to serve the lord with kindness and you aren't really asked to do anything too harmful to anyone. Wakamoto is a member of the catholic church, and furthermore a member of it's secret inner circles that still bears strong similarities to times when the religion was at the peak of its' power. His holy calling is not "spread the word of God, but don't be a dick about it". He's been assigned as a crusader. His holy calling is to eliminate the belief in science from this world, and he's been given specific instructions how. The only difference between him and a mormon missionary, is one was assigned to be God's friendly face, and the other was assigned to be God's vengeful hand. Doesn't change the fact that he's devoted his life to his lord, furthering what he believes to be a holy cause. Also, Woot! Birirbiri next episode! |

Gangler said: Forcing your own believes upon others is also a form of being selfish.I really don't get why Biagio gets so much flak. People criticize him for being selfish and... blasphemous? Yeah, I don't get it. He's all about smiting the sinners, unbelievers, heretics and heathens. It's a perfectly valid religious focus backed by a great many bible passages, lots of catholic specific dogma, and likely the actual calling assigned to him by his church. He's about as selfish as any of the mormon missionaries who give two years of their young lives to preach the word of their lord without profit or gain. He's the rough character design of Alexander Anderson, who I wouldn't describe as a selfish blasphemer so much as an awesome crusader. Heck, that's pretty much what he was doing. A crusade. Wiping out a new belief system that is offensive to their lord. People like that are just obsessed believing that they way of there religion is the only way someone can live. Someone who is obsessed is a danger not only to those around him but also to themselves, since they will stop at nothing to achieve there goals. There is nothing wrong with trying to spread a religion but don't force people into it. As for this episode it was very action based tho it did show some things about the Roman Catholic church or rather the pope in this case. Who seems to disapprove of Academy city and science. And he is willing to kill millions destroy society and bring it back to the middle ages in other words he is acting out of his obsession and out of greed since he would gain from this. All that in order to gain more power. IndexFanboy214 said: This is just more prove of how obsessed the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church are aiming to take out every obstacle that gets in there way."‘Kamijou Touma. Quickly investigate the above named person. If he’s confirmed to be an enemy of God, eliminate him’. Even if the Roman Catholics want to mobilise, or even send out ‘God’s Right Seat’, they have to prepare a document to allow an assassination. The order will be carried out within 5 days." And it seems they see Touma as a major threat. |

I've seen a few...they're ok But, I just don't think they match up as well as many people think they do. I mean as a FANBOY, I would love Mikoto to turn Yuri and be with Kuroko, but I know that is unrealistic nor would it make much sense. Touma and Mikoto just seems like an odd pairing to me, although it could just be me. After all, Mikoto is one of my TOP 10 favorite anime girls, and I DON'T LIKE TOUMA, I don't hate him, I just think he's Below average as the main protagonist. Seeing one of my favorite anime girls with a character I don't like irks me. |

Yumekichi11 said: I was wondering about that as well that sphere seemed to be the core of the magic tho it's unknown why Touma didn't touch it.with that looks like a massive battle continuing from last time, the plan to show that was rather nice although I was surprised that there were ice cannonballs. I would think of a different type of projectile used since last time it blew up the whole ship. So I am assuming that if Touma touches that big ice ball besides Agnese, all the fleet is gone? I guess he didn't feel like swimming tho the Amakusa could have made a ship with there magic. Yumekichi11 said: It would have been to much for those two to handle by themselves and it seems they might be future members of the Anglican church as well.I loved the sudden pincer attack by the Amakusa in order to help out Lucia and Angelene. Since there actions will have consequences. Yumekichi11 said: Yes seems like Touma redeemed himself a bit tho he should learn not to hit woman, he will get in trouble with feminist organizations if he continues.Now starting with Touma, kind surprised in general that his cell phone and Index's cellphone worked in the middle of the sea. Regardless Touma definitely had the bad-ass expression more than once. That Touma punch in the spoiler Also don't underestimate the European mobile network it should work fine if they where near a coastal settlement... Yumekichi11 said: He might be a Bishop but he is no gentlemen.About Biagio, he is strong but also a piece of shit ass! OMG he fucking kicked Agnese! The SOB did that to my favorite nun. Just rage that's all. That he sacrifices his own men and also attacked Orsola shows that he truly is a scum bag. Yumekichi11 said: That scene also confirmed something.So after the capital ship capsized, I assume the rest was gone and that's why Touma was floating around in the water. They kind of rushed to him being suddenly in the hospital. Either there afraid that Esper's might be investigated suggesting there powers might even alter there body. Or the doctor knows something about Touma's Imagine Breaker that he does not want to leak out. And it might even be something else, in any case it's a subject of speculation. Yumekichi11 said: Judging from her phone cal i think she was the one responsible that Touma ended up in Italy.Holy shit Kanzaki sudden appearance and sudden blushing! Made my day big time but what was better is her version of being a maid in the spoiler I somehow thought the entire arc that Touma's running into Orsola in Italy was no coincidence and that phone call seems to prove it. And judging from Kanzaki's reaction to the maid thing it seems she has some hidden fantasies. Yumekichi11 said: That came indeed as a bit of a surprise tho i don't know if it was in Academy city.At first I though Orsola is coming back to Academy City living with Kanzaki? To my surprise it is actually Agnese! Tho it does seem they will be roommates. Agnese could not be involved with the Roman Catholic church anymore and it was clear that she would go to the Anglican church for protection. But ending up as the roommate of Kanzaki. Kanzaki's power does provide a good source of protection tho. |

lonewolf80 said: Railgun didn't even have a plot to speak of until 10 episodes in and that finished up so quick you don't really care about it at that point. The rest of the episodes were boring fanservice filler. So in a way you're right, Railgun's plot did move fast. But having a boring plot that lasts only 2-3 episodes with the bulk of the series being boring fanservice isn't exactly that great to speak of.At least Railgun's plot actually moved along at a faster pace than that of grass growing in my backyard. |

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING!!!!!!!!!! Man this series sucks. I think I'm gonna call how this next villain loses just for the lulz. I'm gonna guess she absolutely destroys Touma .... several times.... but he's gonna have a 20 minute speech, rush in and somehow land a lucky single punch that inevitably knocks her out. Any takes on the odds of that happening??? |

Aversa said: I think he may be have been too concentrated with the Bishop but partially responsible for not informing him were Index and Agnese, whom both were having their own troubles. So that most likely was the reason why.Yumekichi11 said: I was wondering about that as well that sphere seemed to be the core of the magic tho it's unknown why Touma didn't touch it.with that looks like a massive battle continuing from last time, the plan to show that was rather nice although I was surprised that there were ice cannonballs.

Yumekichi11 said: I loved the sudden pincer attack by the Amakusa in order to help out Lucia and Angelene.

Since there actions will have consequences. Yumekichi11 said: Now starting with Touma, kind surprised in general that his cell phone and Index's cellphone worked in the middle of the sea.

That Touma punch in the spoiler Aversa said: Yes seems like Touma redeemed himself a bit tho he should learn not to hit woman, he will get in trouble with feminist organizations if he continues. Also don't underestimate the European mobile network it should work fine if they where near a coastal settlement... Agreed on that one. I was wondering about that cell phone reception thing, well? Were they really around the coast? It looked like they were more in the middle of the sea itself. Yumekichi11 said: About Biagio, he is strong but also a piece of shit ass! OMG he fucking kicked Agnese! The SOB did that to my favorite nun. Just rage that's all. Aversa said: Agreed, he is someone who thinks by using force God approves since it's all in his favor but make no mistake, there is no approval from God towards violence, at the very least not the one the Roman Catholic believe in.He might be a Bishop but he is no gentlemen. That he sacrifices his own men and also attacked Orsola shows that he truly is a scum bag. Yumekichi11 said: So after the capital ship capsized, I assume the rest was gone and that's why Touma was floating around in the water. They kind of rushed to him being suddenly in the hospital. Aversa said: That is rather interesting, could be Touma's rescue was rushed to protect his secret that he himself is not even aware of it.That scene also confirmed something. Either there afraid that Esper's might be investigated suggesting there powers might even alter there body. Aversa said: I would agree more with you on the doctor. He is far too quiet and when he speaks things always get rather interesting and more revealing.Or the doctor knows something about Touma's Imagine Breaker that he does not want to leak out. And it might even be something else, in any case it's a subject of speculation. Yumekichi11 said: Holy shit Kanzaki sudden appearance and sudden blushing! Made my day big time but what was better is her version of being a maid in the spoiler Aversa said: Indeed, Kanzaki might have even staged that wining ticket for him with the help of the Amakusa, whom Touma certainly does not know all of them. Therefore Kanzaki possibly used Touma again, yet she herself is also apologizing that Touma gets involved. What's interesting in all this is that Touma does not mind much of it. She should just give her innocence to Touma. The shit he did for her really is a lot in many ways many life risking. He could have been dead so many times, it's incredible.Judging from her phone cal i think she was the one responsible that Touma ended up in Italy. I somehow thought the entire arc that Touma's running into Orsola in Italy was no coincidence and that phone call seems to prove it. Aversa said: Why not, she most likely is sick herself of war battles she constantly she has to get involved. IMO she wants to live and have in society what that hidden fantasies being one of them.And judging from Kanzaki's reaction to the maid thing it seems she has some hidden fantasies. Yumekichi11 said: At first I though Orsola is coming back to Academy City living with Kanzaki? To my surprise it is actually Agnese! Aversa said: Indeed it was no choice deal but I guess since she had more of a contact with the Amakusa clan and having Orsola back her up, it was natural she ended up with Kanzaki.That came indeed as a bit of a surprise tho i don't know if it was in Academy city. Tho it does seem they will be roommates. Agnese could not be involved with the Roman Catholic church anymore and it was clear that she would go to the Anglican church for protection. But ending up as the roommate of Kanzaki. Aversa said: Exactly and it does provide a good source, mainly because her attacks are non magical so I doubt magic will protect much of her attacks.Kanzaki's power does provide a good source of protection tho. Aversa said: Gangler said: I really don't get why Biagio gets so much flak. People criticize him for being selfish and... blasphemous? Yeah, I don't get it. He's all about smiting the sinners, unbelievers, heretics and heathens.

He's the rough character design of Alexander Anderson, who I wouldn't describe as a selfish blasphemer so much as an awesome crusader. Heck, that's pretty much what he was doing. A crusade. Wiping out a new belief system that is offensive to their lord. Someone who is obsessed is a danger not only to those around him but also to themselves, since they will stop at nothing to achieve there goals. That mentality is indeed dangerous as it led to many insanities as harsh as massacres and many deaths. Sounds to me like devil brainwashing since apparently he's been cast down towards earth. Aversa said: Exactly, forcing never worked as it escalated into wars that resulted into deaths in general.There is nothing wrong with trying to spread a religion but don't force people into it. Aversa said: If I would be him, I would most likely steal the science then destroy it. Get rid of knowledge is itself going against God but then again anything to do with stealing and killing is also against him so I really cannot say anything other than Biagio being lusted by the Devil in a concoction of his own illusions of grandeur. As for this episode it was very action based tho it did show some things about the Roman Catholic church or rather the pope in this case. Who seems to disapprove of Academy city and science. And he is willing to kill millions destroy society and bring it back to the middle ages in other words he is acting out of his obsession and out of greed since he would gain from this.

I wonder why it took so long for me to notice how boring Index could be... it's just moral battles and the fights are pretty boring with Touma. I guess it just need more Oriana. |

Confucius said: I just realize you are a perv lol LOL, I'm just a healthy young man... Besides, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who wants to see Mikoto X Kuroko together. But of course I'm a realistic person, I know it's never going to happen, and I'm ok with that. Yumekichi11 said: Well that's fine it is your IMO but I wondering who you think Touma should be matched up to despite you hating him. I don't hate touma, I just don't think much of him... I don't really care who touma ends up with, just NOT Mikoto |

Touma's powers didn't improve, it's the same as usual and believe us, the last arc will be ffffffff serious business.. You can say the next 2 or 3 eps. are the calm before the storm :D |

Horrible arc adaptation. At least it seems like they've put some effort into the next arc, but I'm doubting that really. The only good part will be the antagonist (from what I've read in the novels, she is quite a good character). |

Touma what happened to you? Your punches should only be for beautiful babes and cute lolis. You can't waste them on guys. Gangler said: I really don't get why Biagio gets so much flak. People criticize him for being selfish and... blasphemous? Yeah, I don't get it. He's all about smiting the sinners, unbelievers, heretics and heathens. It's a perfectly valid religious focus backed by a great many bible passages, lots of catholic specific dogma, and likely the actual calling assigned to him by his church. He's about as selfish as any of the mormon missionaries who give two years of their young lives to preach the word of their lord without profit or gain. He's the rough character design of Alexander Anderson, who I wouldn't describe as a selfish blasphemer so much as an awesome crusader. Heck, that's pretty much what he was doing. A crusade. Wiping out a new belief system that is offensive to their lord. Wtf are you talking about dude. You call killing anyone who disagrees with you as an awesome crusader? I call that a ruthless murderer. And his view of course is blasphemous and not religiously valid at all because his own religion teaches exactly the opposite from such actions. His religion obviously wasn't Christianity but the church. He cared more for what the pope ordered him to do than the words of Christ himself. If he believes he is serving under God and his a Cristian then his a blasphemous because his actions are against their teachings. His god was the pope and the catholic church as an organization and not the Christian god. |

Monad said: Wtf are you talking about dude. You call killing anyone who disagrees with you as an awesome crusader? I call that a ruthless murderer. wikipedia said: The Crusades were a series of religiously sanctioned military campaigns, waged by much of Roman Catholic Europe, particularly the Franks of France and the Holy Roman Empire. It was a crusade. He was a crusader. I fail to see how his willingness to kill detracts from this, in fact it would seem to be a necessary trait in a crusader. Once again, never argued that he wasn't evil. However his actions were indeed backed by many bible passages, and he was attempting to save the eternal souls of mankind. I don't see why this is such a disagreeable concept to everyone. He's a villain. What do you want from him? Creating twenty thousand lives just to kill them for the sole sake of attaining power is selfish. Forcing a small child with a medical condition to memorize limitless amounts of dangerous information, thus dooming her to a lifetime on the run, confused about what's even happening, with your reasoning being "Just in case we ever need one of those". That's selfish. Considering what even the "good guys" of this series are guilty of, it seems odd to me that the man seeking to destroy what he perceives to be the largest source of evil and suffering within the world so that the world will be a happier place is the man who stands out as a selfish individual. Evil yes. Misguided yes. Highly dangerous yes. Psychopathic? Certainly. Selfish? Mildly at best. That's all I was commenting on. We've seen a lot, and this guy seems to get significantly more hate for his selfishness than any number of individuals who's actions have been significantly more selfish than his. |

Touma touching air to dispel the weight spell = most retarded thing ever. This means he shouldn't have been affected by it previously. Way to be retarded with the fight. |

I liked how Touma could destroy the ship this episode, but not in the last two episodes. Yeah, that makes tons of sense. |

I just decided that it was really a comedic mockery of my beliefs despite finding entertaining it quickly stalled for me.after these 2 arcs I'm sick of the roman catholic storyline. It doesn't really strike me as a comedic mockery so much as merely a manifestation of the fictional setting. The Roman Catholic church is a very different church today than it was a thousand years ago. Teaches a very different set of values. In this setting they aren't, and neither are any of the other churches really. The British Puritans have similarly been portrayed more in line with their history and less in line with their present. Heck, one could argue that the scientific community is portrayed pretty poorly within the show as well. When the roman catholics command the largest force of warlocks and soldier-nuns on the planet, I think that's about the moment we get to stop expecting too much resemblance between them and existing religions. Iirc the church also has pretty harsh views on witchcraft;) That being said the next arc should be a pleasant change of pace^^ They've given themselves eight episodes to do it. That should be more than enough. If they butcher it I'll be pissed. As far as I'm concerned it wouldn't matter what they did with the rest of the season so long as it meant they got this one arc right. They cut volume eight to 2 episodes and they did this arc in three when it really could have used that fourth episode. Animation quality has been dropping throughout the season. I'm hoping this next arc is why. I suspect that the oversaturation of roman catholics has been building us up to something. The first season really was much more diverse with its' villains:( Been having fun, but we haven't really had anything as good as Izzard or the Sister Arc yet... Season one we didn't see the same kind of villain twice. Season two we've had over half of our villains come from the same group sharing similar motivations.

People complain about the exposition, but when they cut back look what happens:P |
