Wow... When I saw Frenda in Index III and what happened to her, I couldn't care any less, and now after these last railgun episodes I'm just hearthbroken, I couldn't stop my tears at the end of this episode, I just can't believe how sad it was, great episode tho 5/5

I'm not a LN nor a manga reader but I need to know: Does Saten ever find out why Frenda didn't show up?

The Frenda vs Yumiya was fantastic. One of the best fight scene in index/railgun.

RIP Frenda. I didn't really feel much when Mugino killed her in index s3 but this episode made me feel so sad on what happened to her.

And the 1 week timeskip towards the end. Poor Saten, she never knew what happened to Frenda.

Because he is scared of Kakine.

Honestly Index 3 Battle Royale was really toned down, I just read that Kakine was slaughtered by Accel in that fight, the anime showed different conclusion.


Oh you have no idea. And it isnt even something that can be said to be an issue of lack of time or episodes. In fact having Accel slaughter him with one hit would just be easier for them but no, Accel just hits him with some weak ass punches.

I forgot when was this explained (I believe it was Railgun manga) but before Yobou joined SCHOOL he once tried to challenge Kakine in one one one battle, as he believes himself is the strongest esper that even surpasses all LV5, but the fight ended up being Kakine effortlessly defeated Yobou which makes he immediately realized how terrifying the LV5 were.

Frenda vs Yumiya was super lit and despite knowing both their fates it was still super tense but i'm confused did Yumiya die after her fight because as far as i remember in the BR arc she was already gone and replaced ,was kinda surprised to see her still was intact outside of her lower face..yikes


still haven't forgotten how dirty they did Frenda it would've been fine if railgun didn't give us so much of her

Yeah she was killed later by ITEM, they said that in index III in ep4 i think.
She probably went after Frenda on her own after she left SCHOOL in this episode and ended up in a fight against ITEM and they killed her.

The episode was purely awesome. Frenda was one of the best Toaru secondary characters and she proven herself even more in this fight which looked even more awesome than in the manga. Frenda will always be remembered. Ha det bra, Frenda!

Pretty much this. Great ep and it was great to see her fleshed out but it just reminded me of the disaster that is Index S3 and her completely edgy and meaningless death, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Not to mention all the other problems Index has, some of it was obviously due to them rushing through so much content in so few episodes but the story in general really went down the drain and it spent so much time focusing on characters I could care less about, all the random groups with weird names seeing who can be the most edgy. So far Railgun has stayed amazing if not gotten better with this latest season so I really hope it too doesn't jump the shark in any potential future seasons.


People seems to be missing the idea. It's precisely because she's a dead character in the original series that Kamachi writes her a lot when he made Railgun manga. Either because she was a one-off character, so he had to do his development in the Railgun series, or he just enjoys his reader's reaction knowing her fate in Index. Probably the latter though.

There is a fine line between friend and colleague in the dark side organizations. Add her being a bit crazy and there you have it.

Almost every Level 5 are mentally defective in some way. Mugino has an extremely loose temper. She also thinks only after doing a violent deed. These were hinted in S when she went crazy against Mikoto, and thought calmly about it only when she was defeated. And yes don't consider Silent Party canon, the 'friendship' between Mugino and Frenda ain't that deep. Their interactions are just for the purpose of humour in the show.

What a fight! This episode definitely didn't disappoint.

Frenda was so badass! What a plan! Even after all that explosion the other girl still survived, and she's definitely crazy. She calls Frenda her friend, whaaaaaaaaat.

We need more of Frenda & Saten! At least she has Uiharo to finally eat with her xD

Correct. Frenda essentially betrayed ITEM by giving up info on them to SCHOOL, so when Mugino learned of this she killed her.
Edit: I want to add that Frenda is the type to easily give up that kind of info to save her own skin, as shown in her fight against Mikoto in the Sister's arc.

That one is simple really, she was confronted by Kakine Teitoku, who's the number 2 level 5. She was afraid of them. When she found out who she was up against, she just gave up that info.
I made an extra edit on my previous post, but I'll add it here anyway:

Ah right. Wait, oh that's right. The whole confrontation between Frenda and Kakine is offscreened, even in the novels. SCHOOL launches an attack on ITEM, but then Mugino figures out that Frenda was the one who gave up that info. She then goes on a hunt to execute her.

Edit: Index manga shows a different interpretation of events, in which the confrontation is shown somewhat (I didn't read, that's what I'd heard). This is Chuuya's interpretation of what happened, so not sure if it should be considered canon or not

Now that was an epic fight sequence. I'm surprised the assassin made it and mayhaps some flags raised she might be redeemable as the faction she works for clearly written her off, but at the same time, she fighting another faction which not necessarily on message. This arc had a slow start with the whole card thing but I feel its getting wild now!

why the author killed her and showed us this scene ffs. killed her. all i know was that she betrayed her,and she was forced to, not because she wanted to. i hate this feeling omg hahahaha


Frenda was introduced dying her first appearance was in Index OT15 i.e the battle royal arc. Railgun was made as a spin off AFTER index was past that point.

frenda betrayed ALL of them not just mugino, but hamazura, kinuhataand Takitsubo.

she gave Kikane the location of Item's hideout so he could hunt down and kill Takitsubo because her ability let her track them.

I am not a fan of the Index series, so I didn't watch Index. I had no idea that Frenda met such a fate until I read the posts here :( No wonder she never replied.

Other than that, really great fight scene. It really did feel like hunting, except with the hunter becoming the hunted.


you should start reading the novels or manga because railgun will only continue to start leaving things in mystery as it expects you to have read the main series. rest of dream ranker does the same thing this episode does where it leaves open ended things that can only be filled by following index.

the editor of railgun even said that if you didn't understand something in railgun then they should go and read/watch index.

i love how railgun onlys keep talking shit about the author while
1. never read a single novel
2. forget hes the same author of railgun.


frienda was a nobody her death served 3 purposes to show how academy city functioned under the surface. to show how unstable mugino was (also to show you that basically all level 5's are mentally screwed up do to academy city screwing with there brains. yes this includes misaka.) amd finally to act as hamazura's final push into no long sitting on the sidelines doing nothing.

also frienda had no actual character besides liking canned fish and being poud of her legs before she was give a backstory via railgun. she was just another countless victim of the dark side in her first introduction. her death isn't done "for edge," and it will come up again in NT if you ever read the novels that is. (I have no hope for a well done NT anime if the production and directing continues to go as it has for index series.)

Well that was a pretty cruel thing tho do wel both Frenda and the other girls where creal to begine with.
But it seems the hunt failed tho that was already known.

The question remains of what do they want to do with those cards and are those cards really worth killing for.


they are not killing for the cards they are killing to get there hands on the twessers this is just a small tie in to the battle royal arc to show where railgun currently is at in the main timeline.


MahiaErebeaNegi said:
Before saying anything, RIP Rakko and Fren/da (Lol).


As for the episode itself, it's good as usual and I enjoyed the fight scenes a lot (There's nothing more I can say about it lol). They really trying so hard to remove all of Fukiyose's screentime and replaces her with someone else in the anime (Not that I'm against the change).

As for a certain scene, I already expected this would happen but still lol at how J.C couldn't even got which arm did Uiharu broke right in between two series. It's even worse since Index III released long after Frenda vs Rakko chapters released and yet they still can't get this mirror detail correctly.

Index III:


Railgun T:


the manga got it on the same side as railgun T so ya just the anime team is incompetence manga team is doing great work.

go read the novel or manga and find out which you should have been doing before hand as railgun as the editor himself put it is ment to be viewed along side the rest of toaru series.

Lmao please. That's a good one. She's a minor fucking character. It's far from the biggest mistake.

Not to mention, she works for the dark side and basically betrayed ITEM.

Inb4 someone goes "But wait, she's a cute girl!" Yeah no, that shit don't work here. She works for the dark side and has very likely committed all kinds of crimes.



not to mention we find out that later in NT12

tone down is one word for it fucking butchered beyond belief is what i would call it.

not only did accelerator reduce kakine to a pile of red sludge but they cut out hamazura's conversations with other characters and how he got that tiny hand gun. they completey got ride of his inner monologue when he was burning bodies.

they skipped the part where Kinuhara actually managed to hold her own against the rank 2 level 5 by chucking a couch at him.

not to mention they skipped out on a lot of the details on why they were fighting to begin with.

This what Railgun brings one of them is great action, not just a mindless action rather both party trying to outsmart each other this is what i really like about Railgun characters they uses their brain to fight not only their skills and power.

What criticism is that? Accelerator mutilating and torturing the Sisters somehow isnt edgy but mercenaries killing snitches somehow is?

There are difference between cannon fodder death and non cannon fodder character death. And yes, To Aru went edgy like AgK.
It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.

You mean the first 10000~ Sisters, or just those we saw, that were brutally murdered werent cannon fodder?

Next thing you say will be that Frenda's death had no impact on the characters or future events.

So...what's the difference with how Index treated a character that had no backstory OR screen time?

What's the difference between Frenda and every other canon fodder character that has died in this franchise?

Frenda gets introduced in OT15, the Battle Royale Arc,

Kamachi tells Haimura to make her cute so

These two things alone automatically make her canon fodder.

In the Railgun manga, Frenda hadn't even made her debut in the Sisters' arc when OT15 even came out.


I'm also laughing how you're calling the slaughter of the sisters not edgy whilst calling
edgy

The kind of mental gymnastics you're doing is truly on another level, amazing stuff Gorochu. *claps*

Should be added that it took almost 2 years after her death for her to appear in Railgun's Sisters arc.
Around the same time Kamachi was setting up the conclusion of ITEM's story in OT.

Difference? Frenda is not canon fodder while the sisters are.

Shock value = edgy
Thanks for the assist.

Read the earlier posts, like Sandyboi's one, for heaven's sake. This is top levels of cringe.

Frenda was introduced as a canon fodder. Kamachi used the sidestory to expand on her character (much later) and show that even the most merciless members in the dark factions of the city have humanity left in them.

Already read that. See the edited part.

Again, amazing mental gymnastics right there. You want to address the other points I made, or are you going to ignore them?
Accelerator chewing on a finger of a dead clone ain't edgy then eh?

Frenda was always going to be canon fodder. She was designed to be canon fodder. Nothing you say will ever change that.
Anyway, I'm done here. Feel like I'm speaking to a brick wall rather than a fellow human being.

I didn't read the novel or manga,so my post is on anime only. She might be cannon fodder for manga/novel readers but not for anime viewers only. But hey,trying to create shock value is edgy too.
