| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So Saten is becoming a dealer? Nugi Onna not undressing to her hearts content but being stopped by Kuroko? Since when is Kuroko the voice of reason in this regard? The fight between Kuroko and this butthead was serious though. Didn't expect her to solve it like that. There were some surprises in this episode - let's see what Saten's ability is going to be (she'll use the rare candy won't she?). |
This was a great episode about Saten in many ways: her thing of lifting Uiharu's skirt never surprises me but makes me laugh (blue stripped panties this time on Uiharu), other nice features were more details about her feet and clothing style. Saten has the level upper on player but is hesitant to use it....it looks to me she is getting fed up to be level 0. Loved her little brother, father and caring mother were great to see! Guess Kiyama still has a problem of undressing when in heat/having something spilled on her but the blushing of Misaka/Shirai was cute this time around more than before and that kiss of Shirai...so close. Guess the bullying around the city continues...I feel so bad for Shirai for those hits she got kind of painful to see her suffer because of her job. That guy with missing teeth was pure danger/power but the battle was great! Loved all of it and Shirai....*exciting scream* with her teleport of the glass and big building collapse cathching the guy. Exciting! Too bad there was not Saten power to show but next episode maybe? My favorite....is Saten when she was young but she laughs and right after she gets sad....why? Some things I want to clear up: What is exactly the guy's ability who Shirai fights against exactly? Is he some morphling/shape shifter....it looks like he can be fast and hit hard. What is up with his face here=> |

tsubasalover said: Obviously she lied there tsubasalover.....The question they asked the scientist was about level upper. Even she doesn't know about it. Kuroko said level upper has something that effect the brain, so she wants the female scientist to check on level upper once it was found. The female scientist want their help, too. Then she realized Saten and Uihara were outside. |

| I enjoy watching Kuroko fight more than watching Mikoto's. I mean, Kuroko's not overpowering but she's utilizes tactics with abilities. Mikoto is kind of raw power and the rah-rahs of being Level 5. I enjoyed this episode because of that. And about time Ruiko got some shine time other than to be a side character. Good stuff. |
| I guess Saten missed the "It has side effects" part of the conversation. Kuroko pwns. <3 |
 |
| uh she doesnt do anything even using level upper lol |
| I like Kuroko's tactics. If you can't kill an annoying fly with a swatter, drop a damn nuclear bomb on it! I would've just teleported th building into the skies, let it drop and see if I still miss that other dude. :] That undressing lady is awesome, always gives me a good laugh with her stripping habits. I hope Ruiko won't fall to the dark side of the force. :( |

Also she looks fed up with level 0 if my pic from her young days in the family says something.....it would be she has been fed up for a long time. Back to topic, hmm i think yeah she is fed up by staying at lv 0, i think she felt guilty to her family, i mean she was so sure that she will be an ability user and leave her family but until now she still stuck in lv 0 so she afraid to disappointed her family and her relationship with 2 great high lv ability user belittle her. |

Annisa said: I guess Saten missed the "It has side effects" part of the conversation. Kuroko pwns. <3 No she didn't, that's why she is thinking about it so much. Even with knowing that there might be side effects the temptation is still great. Who wouldn't want to become powerful. Not to mention she feels like she failed her family and her own expectations for going to that town and not managing to get any powers. By the way Saten really gave us a fashion show in this episode. The fight was awesome but i will like to see Biribiri in a good fight like that and not those 1 minute fights she had until now. Kuroko telling the strip lady that there also women with twisted passions was a nice one. Hmm... i wonder what kind of women she was talking about? francismeunier said: Also please (looking at you Windy) anyone make me a big GIF of this to put on my profile....please!=> Ha, ha! that was definetly a gif moment. |

| So do level 0 people have the tiniest bit of psychic power at least/ individuals are already set with a power but level 0 nullifies all traces of it, or is the Level Upper just some miracle worker that can make something out of nothing... Spoilers for Touma I believe |

Are you from the future? Except if you are talking about the manga. Then you really have to read the disclaimer above. |
| Why am i hopping Saten becomes the protagonist? And for some reason i keep comparing her to Testsuo from akira, but if she does get powers it would be kind of hax to have his powers though :P |
| Saten is so kawaii! I loved her outfits. Also, she was hilarious with her hand on the window at the restaurant. Kuroko's fight was great. But I still don't understand how she defeated him. Did she find a way around his power, or just bring down the building? |
| I think she just brought down the whole building and scared him shitless. |
 |
| I appreciate Kuroko's impassioned rebukes of the doctor. She already had to cure Biribiri of the Stripper Lady Curse once, twice might be pushing their friendship. |

asdf1248 said: The fight with the light-warping guy was one of my favourite fights from the manga, but in my opinion, the production staff botched it up quite a bit - it didn't give off the suspense that I got from the manga, and I thought it was kind of rushed, too. Poor depiction of an awesome fight, IMHO. Ah well. Everything else was awesome :). Looks like Gekota will make another appearance next episode, according to Misaka's face in the preview. So based on my pic the guys' face was havng light being warped around it? That is why it was a different color? |

I suppose because she has not once thought, "This thing has side effects, maybe I shouldn't use it," I didn't think that's the reason why she's hesitating. I was assuming she's hesitating because she's afraid of being found out. Personally, if I knew there would be side effects, I would first ask what they are and if they're dangerous, I wouldn't use the darn thing. Also, yes, she's probably feeling like she's not living up to her own wants but I don't think she feels like she's failed her family at all. I saw it as her being selfish because she doesn't want to go back with no powers and having her mom say, "I told you so," or whatever. Her mom doesn't expect her to have powers. Her mom only cares that she can be alive and well. If I were Saten, and I think of what her mom said and knowing there are side effects, the thought of using the LU would go away immediately. But this is just me. |

Kuroko's fight with that "Trick Art" ability guy was intense. I wonder if Saten is going to use "Level Upper" in the next episode, or will the others catch her before she is able to... *hmmm* |

It's like winners don't use drugs....Saten is winner already so she does not need drugs....it goes back to temptations again. |

| Kuroko's fight was kind of nice. Too bad we didn't get to see Saten use the level upper... been waiting throughout the whole episode. |
 |
| Saten resorting to steroid use. tsk tsk |
 |
| So that guy can use powers that bends light and call it art trick....does not look like that girl's power with the strange eye browes that has dummy check? Does art trick have dummy check elements in it because both powers use light just one fakes eyesight other one movement......at least I got some answers with subs. |

| As expected, they cut out the Touma Raddar scene and the Mikoto-Touma confrontation scene before a certain event happened in Index. Hopefully they will put it in later on... HawthorneKitty said: Spoilers for Touma I believe Also, Lv0's have no ability at all (they are classified as failures). However, that does not mean that it is impossible for them to get it and be promoted to a higher level. Kuroko's fight was great. But I still don't understand how she defeated him. Did she find a way around his power, or just bring down the building? She scared the shit outta him. It is tough when you are a moment away from being turned into a pancake. biribiri have lesser and lesser screen time lately. They should've just entitled it "To Aru Kagaku no Teleporter" since kuroko's always gets more story than biribiri. For the love of the God, this is just the first arc -_-' And even that first arc just began. |

| Great episode, plenty of Kuroko and no annoying Touma in sight! :D Too bad we didn't get to see the part where she "innocently" woke Mikoto though, but at least there was some pretty awesome Kuroko battle action =) At first I thought she was going to teleport those huge windows around his location hoping to cut him (since he only can bend the light which probably is limited to a meter or so a best from it's original source), especially when she said that she would be unable to guarantee his safety. Using the above tactic leaves a big risk of slicing of an arm or leg plus chance of totally cleaving him in half though :P So I guess destroying the entire building was a the better choice, especially if you want to be able to interrogate him afterwards. All hyped for the next episode, I wonder what Saten will do and if she gets any cool ability :) |
| Good episode. I enjoyed watching the fight....I hope we get to continue seeing other interesting abilities. If Saten uses the level upper, I wonder how they will take of the side effects that are caused. |

| "And it's not only guys, but there are women who have skewed sexual interests!" ...Speaking of yourself, Kuroko? XD Anyway, this episode overall was pretty faithful to the manga material, but there are people who were disappointed that the Touma bit was not included, though that really doesn't bother me. It does take a bit of fun out, but overall nothing big to be crying about. |
