This wasn't a bad episode but it's also seriously lacking especially when you read volume 13 of the light novel.

Accelerator scenes for example while they were good missed that character development that he had in the light novels through his inner thoughts. Those inner thought were important in that fight and why he goes into "Angel mode".

The anime also makes it look like he goes into "Angel mode" due to Index's song and while sort of that is sort of the case, it's also not the case at the same time.

When he hears Index's song he's so overcome with emotion that song brings because someone is trying to do something for Last Order. This in turn also makes him question why only good people can do good things for good people and what is wrong with him trying to save Last Order as well and why should it matter if he comes from the world of light or the world of dark.

This is the reason why Index's song effected him rather than the magical elements of the song.

It seems that this arc is over. Kihara Amata is dead and Last Order is safe. Vento's motivation is weak but nevermind.

Acqua of the Back is cool. I hope to see him again soon.

I was gonna say this arc was actually great... and then this episode happened. What a trainwreck.

Stop with the whole "I hate le science XD. Le science took my brother XD let me tell you my le epic sad story that makes me hate le science XD" its fucking stupid and makes a mockery out of the entire anime. Its the kind of shit you'd expect a 12 year old to write and her entire motivation for hating le science is so cringe inducingly stupid. Who the fuck thought that was good writing? Touma's cringe inducing speech was fucking stupid too. Even more stupid that she actually took it to heart. How stupid is she? Finally, Touma's plot armor is ridiculous. Is everyone in this anime mentally retarded? If he can destroy magic just grab a gun or a knife and kill him. Its not fucking complicated. How are you going to keep using an attack he can negate? Also how are you going to keep attacking him to his face? Attack where he's not looking you dumb fuck.

Still, the rest of the arc was great but this episode just went to show the author cannot write to save his life. Accelerator was great but he should've stayed down after getting destroyed there, the plot armor in this anime is ridiculous. Pretty fucking brutal how he just turned Kihara into dust though. That was pretty great.

All in all I'd say the arc was good until this episode. Made the anime worth watching.

7:23 minutes BRUTAL! Accelerator and conclusion to stop the Angel.
I admire Touma who, when fighting against an enemy, tries to make him reconsider.

WOW! I have two hypotheses about Accelerator. The first, regained the full power. The second, reached level 6 when being in a desperate situation.
The reason for his power for an angel would be very crazy.

Accelerator sent Kihara to fly "to infinity and beyond". LOL. That bastard deserves it.

Almost 50 episodes in and Touma's finishing move is yet again a punch to the face. Why is his only means of attack is punching? I have to say he's an incredibly boring MC.

Why are so many of the villains girls anyway? This is like the 15th girl he's knocked out. He really needs an offensive power because this normal KO punch thing is beyond old now. The whole fight with Accelerator was a joke. Glasses girl is in permanent ahegao for some reason. I don't know how I'm supposed to take any of this seriously.

Accelerator, with his badass black wing, destroyed Kihara was so satisfying.

Well, to be honest.. Yeah, science isn't only good things.. It's also weapons creation, different accidents, also people are dying from cars daily in thousands, which are also part of science, also the pseudo science such as psychiatry, making people vegetables.. I wouldn't say for sure that science is only pink roses or something.. It's also lots of shit..
And really.. She doesn't have to like science.. And she can blame science, if she wants, really.. It's her right.. How people during industrialization period in our world destroyed machines, which made unemployement rates higher.. So she can dedicate her life with fight with science, if she wants that, really.. So long as it doesn't hurt other people.. She can still expose science, provide people with alternatives, or do other things..
So.. Is it the end of arc, or not?..

As usual Touma with his signature PUNCH to save the day, albeit Vento's backstory was kinda meh

Accel really stole the show here, very interesting that he used magic to literally DESTROY Kihara, since an esper cant use magic and vice versa

And with that, this arc ends with victory for the Science side, this can be considered a war already albeit very small-scaled

I think Vento's most deadly weapon is The Spell Of Exhausting Exposition 🥱

I think that is Toma's second skill also 😟

Loved "Short hair" and Index working together, and Index is quite a singer! 🎶🎤

When you realize Touma has no exposition to give because he knows nothing.

I find it hilarious Toumas secret weapon is just punching everyone in the face lmao

Also Index is just talking on the phone while accelerator is getting kicked in the background hahaha

But looks like another saint appeared and there's only supposed to be a couple right? Maybe we will see them all at one point

Accelerator being accelerator but a bit more badass this episode. This awakening is absolutely amazing. Loved this arc all due to accelerator.
Btw Vento's motivation was hilariously bad.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Well that took an unexpected turn, Hyouka started helping in any way she could. Index started praying to save Last Order and Accelerator grew literal wings.

Was certainly the big episode I was hoping for, and more. Can't wait to see how they conclude this.

J.C.Staff did a pretty good job there with the visuals too!
