| lol at Touma getting princess carried by Gunha. |

Malfin said: because misaki's power is not telepathic. it's micro-hydrokinisis. Wait, How did Misaki's mental out worked on Touma yet telepathic ability didn't work on him in Index II even without having Touma touching his head? Aren't both supposed to be mind based ability, or am I missing something? Other than that, good episode overall. Touma and Gunha duo was epic. If only the main series got adapted as good as the spin offs. |

| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| Touma legit has a thing about being princess carried by strong men. |
| Rofl Railgun is indeed has more budget than Index III Ofc my favorite boy delivered, Gunha finally, the princess carried is the best also. Gunha/10 |
| I'm kind of stumped that they didn't explain scientifically how overcharging Misaka using Misaka's network will force her to Level 6. Maybe they skipped that part? Idk, I hope the explanation is in the novel. Or maybe I just didn't understand the last episode. As far as I understand, Kihara uses Exterior to break into Misaka's network and harness their energy into Misaka. But why does it work? Overcharging? And why does doing it cause Misaka to loses control? Also, lol @ Gunha x Touma |
| at this point im convinced jc staff only put effort and money into railgun. also, why doesn't misaki just get a gun and shoot him. |

He does put power in her through the Network but the real issue is the "virus" he sent along with it. He is forcibly breaking her limits. Think of it as overclocking a cpu that probably cant take it. |

| My boi Touma is here!!!! can't wait for THAT scene to happen!!!! finally an ep that had me on edge! they adapted the manga perfectly! |
  |
| seriously, that lightning strike hitting that buillding is fuckinggg insaneee epic !!! |
Yukikaze_sama said: Awesome episode. That due is so cool. Actually, was it explained what exactly is Gunha's power? Like, is it just pure strength or is there more to it? he harnesses the hidden power of guts energy |
 |
| Peak Toaru animation atm, let's keep this going. Makes you wonder how they managed to fuck up in previous seasons. |

Aren't both supposed to be mind based ability, or am I missing something? I'm guessing since Misaki aimed her power from above, Touma's hand didn't get in the way? |
| that princess carry was something |
 |
| Oh man this is getting pretty good. Gunha's way of fighting is hilarious and him and Touma make up a good team. |
 |
| Dude what a gutsy great ep this was! Gunha is strong af now i get why hes the 7th Level 5 esper in Academy City He can even deflect easily the electric power of Misaka lol Ive been waitin for this Mitori vs Shirai fight Its rare to see Misaki and Shirai working together xD 5/5 ep |

Aren't both supposed to be mind based ability, or am I missing something? I'm guessing since Misaki aimed her power from above, Touma's hand didn't get in the way? Almost correct. Telepathy in Toaru is a bit different than other series. The esper makes connection through a "line"with the person that they want to connect with. If Imagine Breaker happens to be in the way then that connection breaks. What Misaki does is control the chemicals in the brain of the target(s). Touma can cancel it but he has to touch his head directly. |
poudink said: How did Misaki know about Touma's right hand? I could've sworn one of the previous episodes had a scene where Misaki tried to use Mental Out on Touma and failing because of the Imagine Breaker but I can't actually find that scene anywhere which probably means I imagined it somehow. This would mean the only time they really met is in episode 1 where they really didn't do much. Is this an oversight, did I miss something, or is there a spoilery answer? If it's the last option, then forget I asked, I guess. Don't want to get spoiled. No she didn't use her powers on him in the previous eps. Watch her reaction when she meets him along with Misaka.Also Misaka didn't introduce him to her but she knew his name. It is pretty obvious that [i]she[/] is familiar with him. Any more is a spoiler but is also from an Index arc that will most likely wont be adapted. |

Also, lol @ Gunha x Touma well first of all it's virus base and the show and manga expects the veiwer to have seen the academy city invasion arc already. Index season 2's final arc. second of all it's not really scientific Apocalypse-Ash said: It's because the staff for both Index and Railgun are different. The ones doing Railgun just do a better job because honestly they are much better at it. I won't completely blame the staff doing Index for everything (the Production Committee are to blame for deciding to cram too much LN content each Season) but it's obvious that there is a lack of vision and skill in how they go about their work. Railgun has great bursts of animation and there is an obvious attention to detail in how they direct the action and such. Index on the other hand is just pretty blandly done from the start. Nothing about the production stands out. Nothing at all. The moment I lost all hope was the fight between Accelerator and in Index III which should have been a fight to remember. What we got was such a forgettable trite encounter that I made my peace in accepting that Index will never outshine Railgun in terms of anime adaptations as long as the same staff are going to continue working on Index. I honest to god hope the people who've done Railgun will take over for adaptating any further Index adapations. If not then expect the same Index quality/mess for New Testament as well. honestly i don't know why they split the teams they should have just combined them as railgun is very much the same series just diffrent perspective more of a gap filler. |

Rosary_Diva said: good episode although they gave a lot of focus to the the pair of obtrusive guys, but it's ok I just hope Kuroko saves Misaka soon. I'm sorry what? Obstrusive? The fuck? They're TRYING TO HELP. And if it wasn't already obvious, Imagine Breaker alone isn't going to be enough. Gunha and Touma need Misaki and Kuroko to do their bit before being able to return Mikoto back to normal. It's a collaborative effort to bring her back to normal. And sorry to disappoint you, but Touma and Gunha are part of this universe. Or would you want Kuroko and Misaki taking Mikoto 5.1 on themselves? |

Mitori is the one who's been controlling/manipulating Misaka's movements though. Like, literally as shown in this episode. Misaki can't even get inside Mikoto's head when she's just level 5, what makes you think she'd be able to do it now when she's 5.1? The only time Mikoto even allows for that to happen is when |

If not then expect the same Index quality/mess for New Testament as well. it's so funny bc technically index should be the one to get the better staff and production as it IS the orginal/parent story. the views on the railgun pv are the exact same as the index pv despite index being released a whole year before. i dont even watch index/accelerator but i was aware that the accelerator vs no 2 fight should of been MASSIVE as it literally is number 1 vs number 2 but it was just so ugly. their movements were so awkward and the directing was shit. they put more effort into that one scene where misaka jumps of those planes. |

Inthe novel Misaka is so shocked by the realization that he has lost his memories that she cant even move or close her own phone, in the anime she gets back home and takes a bath before thinking about that. |

I mean, it makes sense for Raiglgn's story. But even her appearences in Index were shit. Her powers are nowhere near beautifully animated as in Railgun. Hell her attack animations in Index 3 are worse than in the previous two. For me Railgun' anime was worse than Index at the start. Nonsensical fillers that ruin continuity, lore and the characters, and the more moe approach (even tho Index does have those moments as well) rubbed me the wrong way. But even with those fillers the staff can actually adapt the source material so I can ignore the bullshit. What Index is doing is take content that needs 11+ episodes( like this arc or the Sisters in Railgun S) and just make 3 or 4 episodes. I wish I could ignore that but I cant. |
| @stark700 how is it possible that you are always the first person to make a episode discussion in almost every anime that I watch? Do you live in japan or do you have early access to those episodes? |

Impulsive, hotheaded, hero wannabe that gets tricked by every "mastermind" she comes across. Geez I wonder wher we have seen this before.... It isnt a a secret that the Railgun anime got most of it's fans because of the moe girls doing cute things. It isnt like all of them were like they were hit by a truck when shit got real in Railgun S. |
Rosary_Diva said: at this point, they just put their money on misaka. she is literally their main selling point. Exactly, also people need to get over the fact Misaka is a better character, much more beloved and the most popular. Misaka is popular due to good advertising, but no way she is a better character to most of the main characters (Touma, Accelerator, Hamazura, Junko and so on). Even Misaki, Gunha and Kakine have more impressive personalities as other Level 5s, though lesser appearances. Heck, even Misaka Imouto, and Misaka Worst beat her in terms of character. What is likable of Misaka is her stubborn approach, mixed with equal amounts of intelligence and foolishness. After all, she is still a middle schooler. So, she has great potential for growth in the future.... Railgun is good for what it is - a dynamic cast of likable characters present in a simple, followable plot. It is CGDCT action done right, and deserves all of it's fans. However, praising a series while trashing on another series (by the same author) just because of a better anime adaptation is not a thing fans should do. |

todd2580 said: ssjokg said: Now imagine if these 11 episodes were squeezed in just 3. That's the curse Index has to deal with. Touma and Gunha are highschoolers light novel is more harder to be adapted than manga does It isnt hard when you adapt only one volumes(arcs) or maybe even two. Index 3 tried to adapt 9 Volumes. Even Index 1 and 2 tried to adapt 6 and 7 volumes respectively. And lets not forget that 2 SS volumes were mostly cut. 3 episodes per arc just doesnt work. The manga vs Light novel argument doesnt work. Fate/Zero had a good adaptation because it adapted 4 volumes into 25 episodes AND had a competent team behind it. Zero doesnt have arcs but if each volume was one then each arc had 6 episodes to itself. AND they had enough time to expand 3 episodes with original scenes. Railgun T is adapting so far the content of 3,25~ manga volumes. So no, let me break that illusion of yours. |
