| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, I almost forgot how dangerous Carissa can really be when she's serious. Sherry is also back! Wow, been awhile. Pretty much an episode that follows the steps of this British Royal Family Arc. Acqua is also back! But honestly, I wasn't really sold into the action. Felt a bit all over the place. The scenes with Floris and Touma were priceless though lol |
 |
| Felt a bit rushed, thought that with a bit more explanations it would've been pretty good, but still pretty decent. Aqua vs Knight Leader was not that bad, i liked it. Like how the interactions with NL were done so far, the moment with Floris =/ Mikoto will be back next time for a little bit! |
 |
| Good episode! Lol, the best part of this episode was the gold comedy every now and then but the rest wasn’t half-bad to be frankly honest. Fight scene between Acqua and the 2nd Princess’ Knight was intense and the animation and soundtrack for it was actually really good, I didn’t think we’d get an episode like this until the more intense final arc. Seems like Index has been abducted, meanwhile, and the 2nd Princess’ motives are out. I have a feeling there’s something the Queen is hiding here because she and 1st Princess are simply just too calm and perhaps a step ahead about all this supposedly sudden development. Touma’s hilarious scene with that little ...(who is she again?) was a great watch, his arm really does attract a lot of misfortune xD. Definitely loved the comedy scene in the end there too! I’m looking forward to seeing what the next episode has in store for us, even though I’m only partially keeping up with the Complex Storyline in reality. |

| this episode needed more bad girls |
  |
| is Acqua in love with the 3rd princess? if Acqua is not injured he will defeat that bastard for sure |
| Good episode! Poor Villain, Carissa is really dangerous, Acqua is back, hope they show us a backstory about him, i wonder how he survived in city attack! I am glad that Villain is safe now, Acqua vs Knight leader was cool! Comedy in Touma scene when he encounter Floris was really funny, and aswell, last moment with Queen and Laura, it was priceless! |
 |
| Wasn't Kanzaki supposed to be pretty strong because she has been a major disappointment this season. Anyway this episode was pretty funny especially the ending and it seems Touma met an interesting girl ones again. I wonder what kind of trouble she will get him into. |
| So the rebellion begins. It makes sense that the knights will target all powers that have the potential to oppose them i guess. So Carissa is tired of seeing her country get dragged into the struggle between academy city and the churches and decided to launch a rebellion because of it. At least her motivation is clear. Knight leaders combat skills though was impressive being able to subdue Kanzaki that easily. Damm Acqua's entrance to save Villain sure was dramatic. Touma and great train escape sure was amusing. Laura's methods though are always surprisingly drastic but at the same time surprisingly amusing. An interesting episode that while expanding upon the rebellion also did well to show how each new character is faring within it. Curious to see how the dual between Knight leader and Acqua will end. |

| Acqua is back! Lol, why did that truck driver run away like that? |
 |
| Acqua makes a return after his defeat in Academy City... Acqua vs that knight guy was pretty good! Kanzaki got pretty beat up so easily, and that for a strong Saint :( Scene in that train was pretty priceless! Touma thinks he recognizes the clothes the girl is wearing, but can't recall where from. You just dropped off one injured girl wearing the same stuff!! Touma thinking he can escape jumping into a river, that's only 1m deep... nice XD |
 |
| Episode could have used more Lessar, or Floris or more Acqua, at least the screentime Acqua got was pretty good. poor Kanzaki having a bad time this season though I wonder if Touman will ever learn to not grab a girl, like Floris in this case, with his right hand and screw her ability up which could save or make things much less painful for them. |

| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| Those legs were fucking gross, blond chick number 3. No wonder the truck noped the fuck out. |

VVill said: Those legs were fucking gross, blond chick number 3. No wonder the truck noped the fuck out. HAHA! I love thighs but her thighs weren't appetizing at the slightest. The truck driver knows what's up. |
 |
| The story is a bit rushed but it's still enjoyable. It's funny how the anime make the NL girls more enjoyable here than in the LN lol, I only care about Lessar in LN lol. The pacing of this arc is fine so far, I hope they won't skip Leivinia's conversation in the next episode. (I know she's not suppose to be important here until in the later arcs but they could keep that scenes around to hints an NT adaptation since they already planned to do so) Laura's scenes is even more funnier if you know about her true identity lol. To the anime-only fans, fun fact........ Laura is older than Queen Elizard. VVill said: Those legs were fucking gross, blond chick number 3. No wonder the truck noped the fuck out. Or maybe the truck driver knew that Laura is really "something else" so he go away as fast as possible? Lol |

| The true star of this episode was the truck driver. He understood that Laura's thigh-teasing bait was a trap and he hid a bloody good job in swinging his large vehicle around and buggered off in the other direction. That was pure comedy gold, I tell you! XD Anyway, funny scene aside, this episode was pretty action-packed. The one disappointment was how Kanzaki just got curb-stomped by the knight leader so easily. However, Acqua coming the save the third princess and having the that tough battle himself against the knight leader was badass. The fight itself was far better animated than Acqua's last battle in the previous arc, so that's a good sign. =) As for Toma, he's doing his best to help out girls, but he still finds a way to screw up, as usual. It's the effort that counts, I guess. ^^; The next episode should wrap up this arc, so I'm looking forward to seeing if Acqua can pull off a narrow victory. |
Meta_Yoshi said: The next episode should wrap up this arc, so I'm looking forward to seeing if Acqua can pull off a narrow victory. Not really as this arc is far longer than the previous arcs in this season so this arc will have at least 5 episodes in total (Or 6 episodes if J.C didn't butchered this arc for giving more episodes to the last arc of this season). |
| One of the episodes I really enjoyed, man this show is such a mixed bag. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Pretty acceptable pacing for this episode tbh. The Queen Elizard and Archbishop Laura Stuart banter made me chuckle a bit tho. haha. |
| ok like it is getting more and more serious...... To think this will get inflicted or something.... |
 |
| the quality was horrid this ep. Acqua's face whenever he was on screen. the random cgi horse the hand drawn horse the queen got on. as much as I LOVE index, and suffered 7 years to see this, it's getting harder to stick around with each ep. this is a crying shame. by now they need to redraw half of the episodes completely just to sell those blurays. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
| ...... . I dont know who is the bad guy(girl) on this arc |
| Now Loading..... |
Tiau said: There's no real bad guys in Index anyways except for some Kiharas, everyone is just fighting for what they believe is right. Not necessarily just to be evil or anything I think kihara's is Internal problem (Academy City's problem).. and i think Kihara is on Science side, everything around surrounding Index is Magic side |
| Now Loading..... |
Which one is the false? |
| Now Loading..... |
| Damn cliffhanger.............................................................. |
| nice! clash of the most powerful characters...but still everything is still messed-up! i'm not sure what to say for Acqua being back...but it was still okay... 4/5. |
 |
| Lorry driver was the real MVP of this episode. |

| Knight Leader is quite powerful. |
 |
It is obvious. The 2nd princess and her follower are the bad guys |
| Ok wow they really did rush this more than usual. I think at this rate there will be an extra episode or two for the final arc. Not exactly something to be hyped about tbh but I am surprised, mostly because the only way I could see them making extra room for the final arc was if they completely skipped the plane incident. I am not sure which I would prefer between that and what we got here, but ok. And finally I get to see this fight animated aaaand my hype is gone again...

 |
| Ok bad phrasing, my point is this arc will take less than the 6 episodes I expected it to get. |

| never before have I encountered a franchise which made me go "WTF, WTF, what is going on? WTF!" so much Imagine being a tourist in britain and you see a bunch of knights taking control, brexit is going as planned it seems also, the scenes with william and the other princess were cute From the pv it looks like biribiri next episode ... which is today!!

| I was trying to avoid making more comments on how weak the animation is so far in the anime... but what was that horse? wtf is like they aren't even trying |
 |
| I lauged when Touma and Floris fell into the river lol It seems that Villian has a crush on Acqua. The Knight Leader is extremely OP. Poor Kanzaki. At least we know Carissa's reason for the coup d'état. Everyone is just fighting for what they believe is right. I can call this arc Brexit arc lmao. I feel like the Battle Royale arc was the only one I had problems following. |

| Pretty good episode. The battle begins. I laugh when the truck retreated back from Laura. Even truck has something to be afraid of. |
| The episode was quite all over the place, quite interesting the next episode sure is about to get even more so! Let's see what's next. |
