Been a long time waiting guys and girls. I can't wait to see both index and railgun characters in this one.

Botato said:
Wut. First of all spoilers.
Second of all, is not even mentioned at all at this point in the story.

- Vento invades
- Kihara kidnaps Last Order
- Kazakiri turns into an Angel
- Accelerator fights Kihara and Hound Dog to save LO
- Touma fights Vento to save the city/Kazakiri
- Index uses a song/prayer to save LO/Kazakiri

I could've sworn his name came up back during the incident though. Also, edidted my previous post. Sorry about that. Haven't read Old Testament since before Index 2 aired so it's a bit hard to remeber what all is spoiler.

Playcool said:


Who is this girl?!.

KasuraS said:


It's Itsuwa from Amakusa Church, who appeared in Toaru S2.

ssjokg said:


How many puns can fit into that spoiler?XDXDXD


Anyway, i dont think it was so rushed.It conveyed the state of the world and WHY Touma has to go to France makes sense. Ther eis a lot of flab that canbe cut tbh.


Also mfw when OP is setting up the BIG villain of NT.

Yeah me too. I don't know why LN people think that this episode is rushed. I mean they even bothered to add Fukiyose's forkball moment lmao and several fillers of angry bitches threwing shit at Touma before ending it at the plane jump, which should be around 1/3 of the book.

Tbh all in all, 3 episodes for this arc should be enough imo and then I can decide just how rushjob the adaptation would be around episode 4 or 5.

I've completely forgotten who everyone is and everything that happened. I remember I counted up to 14 girls who had an interest in Touma which I thought was insane, but that's literally all I took from this show.

Botato said:
Ermm... Up to this point only 3 are actually interested in him.

Becomes over 10k if you count the clones but why would you do that.

AvidAnimeViewer said:

I remember Index, Mikasa, his classmate from this episode, his teacher, the sword-wielding long haired woman, and a few others who showed signs. I was probably counting even the slightest implications.

I really appriciate the little reminder at the beginning, since Iit has been 1.5 years since I last watched something of this franchise.

I remember the basics though

Index sucks and is obnoxious, unbearable through and through

Biribiri x Touma is pure 10/10 material and even the most basic stuff becomes interesting when they are on screen

Accelerator is great

the rest doesnt matter

PS: Not even 5 minutes in and Im already annoyed by Index. I literally have not seen anything from her in 1.5 years, yet the second she appears my mood changes from yees, more A certain magical Index! to nooo, Index. This is how deeply scarred I am by that obnoxious, worst version of a tsundere.

Comander-07 said:
jeah I also noticed how weird it is with how both best girl and worst girl are violent tsunderes, but with best girl it has charme. She gets violent because she knows nothing will happen. Also she gets violent for romance shit.

Worst girl gets violent for no reason, for touma not bringing food, for him basically existing in his own appartment, and she is just overall super annoying.

hazarddex said:

"Violent for not reason." Spoke like a person whos never gone hungry for a day or two before.

And the other times shes bitrs him are litterally for the same reason as misaka. Jealousy and embarrassment

At lest when she does it for food its justified.

You need food to live if you ask me index has her priority straightened out you forget she is forced to live there. Has no means to support herself though no fault of her own.

Getting embessard and mad and shooting lighting at people for a high school crush is not a high priority.

Comander-07 said:
Alright since you are so adament in your shit taste - I never said I dislike Index only because she is violent, she is obnoxious overall and her beeing violent to the guy who lets her crash at his place 24/7 doesnt help

Face the reality scrub, Index sucks

kidlat020 said:
that forced ship with the class prez is so awful.

hazarddex said:


Ad hominem check.

Hypocrisy check.


She has no choose but to stay at his place. Do you not remember that she has basically bben enslaved before hand?

Also misaka is way more violent then index. Let see shooting her railgun which could obliterate a human at touma. Shooting enough lighting to kill a human at him using an iron sand chainsaw on him. Not to mention

so getting attacked over and over again by Misaka out of random adolescent outburst every time He steps outside isn't obnoxious?

at lest Index has reasonable motivations for her anger. touma getting himself into trouble and hurt, forgetting food (which is by the way important if you want to live long.)


also face reality.

Botato said:
The fuck you on about.

The novels clearly state Misaka only does it because he can nullify it. He is an invincible existence as far as her powers are concerned. She only shot her Railgun directly at him only once in a typical tsukkomi routine. The chain saw was only done once in a fight Touma himself agreed to, and she expected it to fail anyway. As for NT spoilers
I can understand not liking Misaka, there's a lot to hate especially when she and Touma are on screen in a non-serious scene. But this is just silly.

Index does indeed have other choices. She can go with Stiyl and Kanzaki, or any of the many church members that love her and enjoy feeding her because she's adorable. But instead she forces Touma to accept her as a freeloader while abusing the shit out of him. Like idk she says he saved her life and she is grateful but she doesn't show that in her actions at all. Instead of repaying the debt she claims she has she just makes his life more miserable. Oh and btw Misaka isn't the only one with tsukkomi bs Index bites him for the same reasons Misaka tries to zap him. But in Index's case she actually causes him pain, and she knows she will cause him pain. Biting him for food isn't better either because he doesn't owe her anything.

And then there's the fact that her jokes got old after the nth time. Same could be said for Misaka I guess but then you realize Index is actually irrelevant for like 90% of the story, while Misaka does play more important roles and has more scenes than just another headcrab #765745 scene. Index is both annoying and a literal shitbag, Misaka is just annoying in the worst case.

What makes it more painful is, when Kamachi decides to make Index relevant in a non headcrab scene, she actually shows good potential. But eh whatever.

@ second spoiler that's not even the superior blonde so shush.
