View Full Version : To Aru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Discussion (Archives)
While it may be not very special, I still find it funny everytime I see Toma being used.
And I'm especially amused by Crowley's rather ordinary smalltalk. Don't see that too often. And Laura sometimes is just 'kyaa <3' to me.
Also, looking at the past events, it seems obvious to me it was schemed.

his been using touma since vol 2 so nothing special. I wouldn't be even surprised if index meeting touma was one of his schemes.
Even the fact Touma is in Academy City is another one, in the vol.13 the Doc. H.C. asked Aleister why he took Touma from the 'outside', making me think Touma doesn't belongs to that place(A.C.).

I don't quite understand this... :confused::confused: sorry :heh:
but from what I can tell on it. Your saying that touma doesn belong to the outside? or are you referring to the magic side? isn't it obvious that touma is from science side but being pawned by aleister to do his tricks in the magic side.... okay I don't quite understand.......
btw guyz what is that psychic candy kihara uses in to aru kaganu no railgun?
I don't know..... that's from the anime and I'm not watching the railgun anime that much. But from what I observe before. The nips look alike candy is just a candy. Maybe its her ability. Isn't she the one who's been used as first sample.... btw this is the novel thread that should be ask in the railgun thread.

It is called by two names: Ability Body Crystal or Crystallized Esper Essence, the latter coined by its creator, Kihara Gensei. It extends the limits of the human brain and thus allows persons with restrained abilities (like Takitsubo Rikou) to use it without fail. The bad side effects of this is that the body can't keep up with the upgrade and thus, deteriorates.
The only two people shown to consume this are Telestina Kihara Lifeline and later on, takitsubo Rikou.

ah... I get it. But isn't touma go freely to the academy city to find a way to cure his misfortune? Unless theirs a catch their. Touma being an gemstone basically since birth he had an ability. So their is no use on going through the curriculum to become an esper. So unless his parents or him had heard of a way to remove his misfortune I don't see him going their.

Probably that was the excuse to send him to A.C. and his father fall in the trick of Aleister(I wonder who was the one who told to Touya about A.C.)

I learned new stuff about vol 20 and I want to confirm some
It looks like the war started with Russia controlled by Fianmma threatens Academy City to share their knowledge or be destroyed. The Russia did sent missiles to attack the City. As for the government of Japan. It looks like they are trying to stop the academy city or rather trying them to stop retaliating against other country. But the government just shut up when the academy city show them the pictures of when the academy city shoot down the missiles sent by russia.
About Touma. It looks like his on his own journey to destroy the remote. Though I wonder why his alone. And Lessa is his guide or so it seems. Its more like Lessa is their just to seduce Touma :D lucky guy.
After Accel finally awakens thanks to " falcon punch " Touma leave a letter to him find index..... but where is index? I read here that she's still in England. Does that mean Accel will go their?
And finally I ask it before why does Touma alone? where are the others? why is he alone in a cold place well not totally alone because she got a girl that's been trying to seduce him all the time their in a cold place of russia?
And if index is still in England and when she goes berserk Styl is their to fight her.
And in wiki it says that Hama and Rikuo are with Accel and LO are this true? what happen to Saia?
I'm confused. Asking for further summaries and spoilers.

tsunade666
2010-03-16, 05:26
I have this info from the other forum but thanks to this I know why his alone
It looks like he just go their secretly and he told only styl. Though I want to know more about it. On what happen to the others. They should have known now that touma is missing and all specially if a war is breaking between france and englang. But maybe because of the war itself that they had no time to search for him. And while touma was sneaking away it looks like Lessa just tug in with him because she think that his work will be beneficiary to England. :D
EDIT:
part 2 is uploaded by teh_ping I think. His really a great guy
When ever I read the spoiler about Touma and Accel's second fight, I can't help but think how jealous of Touma he sounds.

I'm just a Level 0.:heh:
That defense didn't work with Mikoto what makes him think its gonna work with the no. 1 Level 5.
Guess Level 5's start getting inferiority complexes once they meet Touma's hax right hand.
Mikoto thinks Touma has an awesome power while Accelerator thinks Touma is a Ally of Justice who could save anyone.
Maybe they are both right but Touma's doesn't think that way.

I was wondering about imagine breaker being the key or the one who lock the demons away and bring 1000 years of peace. Couldn't it be the other way around?
Instead of using it to seal. Should just touma use it to open a gate to the demon world and summon forth demons?
I was imagining of touma being aided by fallen angel lucifer and becoming the commander of hell army. :heh::heh:

I have some questions/summery that I just thought of couple of them are related to vol 20, another is for either 18 or 19, I'm not too sure.
I've been thinking of the fight between Fiamma and everyone else, and I wonder if anyone who read the book yet could give me a summary of the fight. Like was it really Fiamma vs everyone at once or it was like he defeated some and the others arrived right after that one victory. (I'm thinking that it would be somewhat impossible for him to get out unscathed with Upgraded Sasha's magic or Touma's right hand.)
And could someone give me a summary of how Lassar fits in all this. :D
And what happened to the New Light Girl with the wings? It showed her falling off a bridge with Touma in one of the images.
Sorry for being a bother, I'm just curious.

IMO, Volume 9 is quite different from the other books.
You can think of it like a new season of '24'.
Expect lots of cellphone action, chase scenes, racing against time, multiple sub-stories, and one big plot to destroy the City.
While it may be not very special, I still find it funny everytime I see Toma being used.
And I'm especially amused by Crowley's rather ordinary smalltalk. Don't see that too often. And Laura sometimes is just 'kyaa <3' to me.
Also, looking at the past events, it seems obvious to me it was schemed.
I like that small conversation Aleister had with Laura, especially with Aleister being dumbfounded by her japanese skills and her hair obsession :heh: Too bad there aren't alot of them, they would really make a cute, manipulative couple...
When ever I read the spoiler about Touma and Accel's second fight, I can't help but think how jealous of Touma he sounds.
He is; For all that great power that he has, he feels that he couldn't save a single life.
Ironically, Touma felt the same way is that he has to put his life on the line just to save somebody.
Marcus H.
2010-03-18, 03:22
You know why? Touma attracts teh ladies while Accel has a lot of experience ripping limbs off them. :heh:
Kidding aside, yeah, he feeling so bad right now lacking the power to save someone despite being the strongest esper on the planet. And Touma, who should be just a Level 0, outdid him in more ways than one.
I feel real bad for him; I wish there's some way he can save anyone. Maybe saving Touma's life by risking his own?
ReddyRedWolf
2010-03-18, 04:56

He already did that. Earning him a bullet in the head. Last Order is Accelerator's morality pet all the Misaka's he has killed and Misaka Worst has the same face.
I wouldn't pass the posibility Accelerator is insane. Preying on middle school girls with the same face over and over he may have started identifying with them. Since what he did is basically serial murders of over 10,000 girls there is a posibility of sexual gratification involved in the killings. Here comes a mini-version of the girls he's been killing who is sympathetic to him. He started to bond with her. Trouble happens and she gets sick he feels powerless. Then comes a more mature version of the girl he protects he can't bring himself to kill another girl with the same face anymore. Hence when she killed herself he snapped.

just because accelarator is a phycho doesnt mean he raped the sisters lol
MrTerrorist
2010-03-18, 08:11
Dude not funny.
Even if he didn't raped them, he found pleasure in hurting them very painfully in many ways before killing them. Accelerator is a sadist and enjoy what he did to the Sisters. It was only after meeting Last Order that he realizes how horrible of a monster he was as he always thought of the Sisters as his playthings not humans with feelings.
Chaos2Frozen
2010-03-18, 08:34
I think it's slightly more complicating than that. If Last Order's theory is true, then all this time throughout the entire experiment he was trying to scare off the Sisters, meaning that to a tiny degree, he didn't want to continue.

I agree with MrTerrorist. He looked really enjoy killing the sisters. If he didn't want to continue then he could simple quit the experiment. No one could stop him.

Yup. Hard shell, weak core.
That over 10,000 Sisters were killed is a fact but no matter the crime, they gotta move on one way or another.

I believe Part of him wanted to attain Level 6. As we saw it, even as a child he was always attacked by people. By attending Level 6, he hoped that nobody would even consider attacking him anymore. He's just tired of it.
Another part that I read from the manga was that Accelerator never once thought that his powers could be used for anything except for destruction. Yoshikawa mention that should he ever finds out that he could save people, he would definitely regret all the times that he could've done so.
Maahh~ To each his own, Accelerator never once denied that he was a scumbag and a monster for going through with the experiments.
ReddyRedWolf
2010-03-18, 09:41
just because accelarator is a phycho doesnt mean he raped the sisters lol
Serial killing involves a certain factor of dominance, Accelerator doesn't need to sexually assault a Sister as it is part of the killing. Accelerator even made a lewd comment during a killing "Are you you showing me your butt?".
The relationship between Accelerator and Last Order appear to be a form of mutual Stockholm Syndrome. Last Order in her Point of View saw some kindness in Accelerator who murdered every Sister connected to her. In turn the face Accelerator saw again every day during the experiment is that of Mikoto Misaka thus some sympathy with victims as it progressed. Perhaps Accelerator did try to scare the Sisters but couldn't feel fear as they are programmed not to, but he did it Mikoto when she tried to kill him for murdering the Sister she bonded with.
As said his experience with Last Order humanized the Sisters to him thus couldn't kill another Sister anymore.
(I should really stop psychoanalyzing Level 5's :heh:)

Hmm, I don't know, they all seem scared to me near the end of the expts. (LN, Index anime, and manga) They were perfectly capable of feeling fear and shock, did it in every single encouter with Accel. Oh yea an he taunts/intimidates Mikoto...
It does make me wonder what would be his feelings towards to original Misaka Mikoto? Guilt? Indeference? Or would he associate her as one of them?

Found something to share with you guys :)
Euro tunnel which connects England and France gets bombed. England is having hard time getting import goods thanks to tunnel shutting down as a result. Tsuchimikado asks Touma to go to Britain as Index's guardian, because there seems to be some sort of magic organization at work here, and they need Index's help. Before Touma could say anything sleeping gas grenade is thrown in from next door.
When Touma comes to he's already at the airport. Tsuchimikado got a ride ready for him (monster airplane they used to get back from Italy), but Touma and Index decides to use a regular airplane instead, leaving their cat to travel by himself on the super airplane. (which Itsuwa came to pick up) They use inter connective flight headed to Scotland and than to London since direct flights were sold out. During the ride the airplane is about to be hijacked by French extremist who claims tunnel bombing is England's act to try and cut ties with France. Necessarius tries to use magic to interfere the hijack but is interrupted by unknown source from Scotland. Index gets attacked by him and Touma gets pissed, corners the guy and beat the crap out of him along with the other guy.
Once they're there, Kanzaki picks them up via helicopter and heads straight to Buckingham Palace. It turns out the queen herself was the one who called Index. There he's introduced to the royal family and gets a lecture on Cartena(sp?) carried by the queen. It's a sword that grants power of an angel to royalty, but the original has been lost for centuries and what the queen was carrying is a copy of original. After the talk they send Index to investigate the tunnel with the knights and princesses. Touma is asked to stay out of it because they don't want him to break anything. They also find out that the group called New Light was the one who interrupted Necessarius's spell and they're headed to London with some kind of luggage. New Light interfered because if the spell wasn't interrupted, the plane would've landed on the road connecting London and Scotland, which would've delayed their travel. Touma tags along Oriana to help her capture the New Light.
Lessa from New Light makes a mistake and gets tracked down. She is spotted by Touma and Oriana while on the run. They fight but she manages to get away and they continue the chase. Itsuwa and Kanzaki manages to capture two of the New Light. The suitcases New Light was carrying allows one to send its contents from one suitcase to another in an instant. When Touma and Oriana corners Lessa, she says that New Light was only here as means of transportation and sends the contents of her suitcase to their client. She gets shot to be silenced right after, but Touma manages to pull Lessa away in time to save her life. Oriana recognizes the weapon used to attack Lessa. It was a weapon used by the knights of England.
New Light was carrying the original Cartena recently excavated, and their mission was to bring it to 2nd princess Carissa. Carissa starts a coup right after Index confirmed that the French magic was behind euro tunnel bombing and takes her custody. She orders the knights to take over all the major facilities throughout England. Battle between knights and mages erupts all over, but with the Carissa's blessing knights subdue most of the Necessarius. Necessarius drops the fight because they're outnumbered to begin with, and goes into hiding. Carissa's reason for coup was that if the war between Academy City and Roman Catholics did happen England will be either wiped out by Romans or become Academy City's bitch. England need to act now if it was to avoid that and become its own nation as well as the head figure of Europe. Her next move was to kill rest of the royalty so that no one else can use the Cartena. She chases after one of her sisters, Vileinne(sp?), who managed to get away during the confusion. Kanzaki tries stop them but she's taken down by Knight Leader. Carissa catches up and gives order to Knight Leader to kill Vileinne, but Aqua comes in and saves the day.
The queen and Archbishop was captured by knight but managed to get away. Touma and Oriana splits, Oriana staying to help out Sherry who's fighting against the knights, and Touma has to look for someone to cure Lessa. He makes it to the Necessarius girl's dorm and leaves Lessa under Ursula's care. Now he has to help nuns get away from knights and go rescue Index, volume ends.

This thing I spotted as I was working:
Uiharu is dressed in a short-sleeved T-shirt and black shorts, like a sportsgirl; however, this doesn’t match the flower ring made of roses and Chinese hibiscus. The artificial flowers that are blooming make her look like she’s wearing a huge vase on her head.
I'm now like what? Artificial flowers? Checked twice already and both sources gave me the same thing.

Yup, I'm looking at my (chinese) copy of the volume now and they definitely used the words 'man-made flowers'. The reason I totally missed it the first time was because I was more concern with Kuroko going murderous-intent over that Touma and Mikoto love-comedy scene...

When Touma and Oriana corners Lessa, she says that New Light was only here as means of transportation and sends the contents of her suitcase to their client. She gets shot to be silenced right after, but Touma manages to pull Lessa away in time to save her life. Oriana recognizes the weapon used to attack Lessa. It was a weapon used by the knights of England.
New Light was carrying the original Cartena recently excavated, and their mission was to bring it to 2nd princess Carissa. Carissa starts a coup right after Index confirmed that the French magic was behind euro tunnel bombing and takes her custody. She orders the knights to take over all the major facilities throughout England. Battle between knights and mages erupts all over, but with the Carissa's blessing knights subdue most of the Necessarius. Necessarius drops the fight because they're outnumbered to begin with, and goes into hiding. Carissa's reason for coup was that if the war between Academy City and Roman Catholics did happen England will be either wiped out by Romans or become Academy City's bitch. England need to act now if it was to avoid that and become its own nation as well as the head figure of Europe. Her next move was to kill rest of the royalty so that no one else can use the Cartena. She chases after one of her sisters, Vileinne(sp?), who managed to get away during the confusion. Kanzaki tries stop them but she's taken down by Knight Leader. Carissa catches up and gives order to Knight Leader to kill Vileinne, but Aqua comes in and saves the day.
The queen and Archbishop was captured by knight but managed to get away. Touma and Oriana splits, Oriana staying to help out Sherry who's fighting against the knights, and Touma has to look for someone to cure Lessa. He makes it to the Necessarius girl's dorm and leaves Lessa under Ursula's care. Now he has to help nuns get away from knights and go rescue Index, volume ends.

Thanks dood! U're my daddy! How about posting the detailed summary of volume 18!? :p
Thanks dood! U're my daddy! How about posting the detailed summary of volume 18!? :p
Starts out with Aqua fighting against the royal knights. He takes them down easily and manages to get Vileinne to safety using magical horse. It seems Vileinne has crush on Aqua, and cries as he sends her away with his horse. Aqua than fights against Knight Leader one on one. They seem evenly matched at first, but Aqua haven't fully healed from the battle at Academy City while Knight Leader has Carissa's blessing. Knight Leader tries to convince Aqua to leave Britain, but Aqua's answer was "talk is cheap." They crash again and again. As Aqua starts to gains upper hand and is about to strike him down, Knight Leader uses his spell which can turn any damage from any kind of weapon in his sight to zero. Aqua uses last hidden blade hidden within Ascalon, which Knight Leader didn't recognize as a weapon, to take him down.
Touma manages to smuggle in train that's headed to Forkstone. There he meets Floris, Who is a member of the New Light. She was captured by Necessarius at first, but the knights took her back to silence her. Floris asks Touma to help her get out of here. She asks for a key to get her out of her restraints, but Touma uses his Imagine Breaker to break it instead, and alarm goes off. In state of panic, the two jumps off from the train.
Anise and two other nuns managed to escape from the knights, but not the rest of her team. They get on board of a train where they're holding nuns captive in order to rescue them.
Touma managed to get to Forkstone with help from Amakusas sent to search for him. Floris was handed to them (without the knowledge that she was one of the New Light) as well as Vileinne, whom he came across after jumping off the train. At Forkstone he encounters Aqua fighting against the knights as well as Index laying unconscious inside the carriage, and Carissa. Carissa uses Catena's power to create huge shock wave and sends them flying before they get a chance to fight
Aqua managed to save both Touma and Index. Aqua tells him that Fianmma is after Imagine breaker, and now he is going after Fianmma instead. They come to short truce. Aqua leaves to do his own thing, and Touma regroups with Kanzaki and Amakusas. They come up with a plan to attack Carissa, who is at Buckingham Palace right now. The Buckingham Palace works like a lightning rod. In case Catena goes out of control she'll be able to let the power escape via royal subway. There's special Cart that works as hub for the system, and the plan is to use that to attack her instead. They'll feed energy from Caven Compass, a flying fortress Necessarius has.
Touma, Index and Vileinne are the only ones that can go in since they got heavy security against magic in London and only royalty can access royal subway. With Misaka's help they manage to sneak in underground which was closed off to the public. There the three takes down huge paper mache security guard and encounters servants and maids working at the palace. As soon as Vileinne opens up royal subway Itsuwa calls Touma, telling him that they managed to access the hub cart and to get out before they get caught in explosion.
The explosion was not enough to kill Carissa, but enough to put her to 50% output. After the explosion London was filled with magic flammable energy from Catena, so Touma and co. have a feast while waiting for rest of the Necessarius to gather and the gas to die down.
Last battle against Carissa. They enter London with air support from flying fortresses. Catena can slice dimension and create aftermass as a result. Carissa uses that to attack Touma and rest of Necessarius (+princess Vileinne). Touma and Vileinne gets to Carissa first, and start fighting. After Touma gets good beating from Carissa and Griffin Sky (80 meters wide hang glider that can turn its own shadow into huge stake to attack), Kanzaki shows up to save him and others start to show soon after. They start taking down Griffin Sky, but Carissa orders the military ship by the coast to fire bunker cluster missile at the palace (wtf!)
1st princess Lemeria finds out Carissa's other reason for the coup. She wanted to do away with Catena as well as protect England, so she decided to kill rest of royalty and destroy everything that's related to Catena. By leaving her name and Catena in history as a symbol of tyrant, the people won't allow the royalty to create another sword like it and do away with the royalty for good, or so that was her reasoning. Lemeria asks the knights to help her if they feel slightest amount of pity towards her.
Touma manage to stand up and tries to fight Carissa. Carissa orders second bunker cluster to finish them off, but before it could strike Knight Leader shows and stops the missile. Aqua shows as well after destroying radio towers around the area. Kanzaki joins after patching herself up. All four of them go DBZ for while but eventually Carissa gains upper hand by attacking regular mages and knights around to stall saints and Knight Leader.
Queen finally shows up. She says that what Carissa came up with is pathetic, arrogant and nothing more than a show of cowardice. Carissa was ready for show down between two Catena, but the queen throws her's away and tells her that "if you want a change, you have to do something original as this." She takes out English flag as well as welsh flag and calls out the entire country to join the party. She spread Catena's power to entire population of England. "This country isn't as cheap as you think it is", she says.
Everyone around London starts to show around the palace and starts fighting against Carissa. If Carissa loses her focus, original Catena's power will be sucked dry by the people, so she has to take on flying bartenders and fireball throwing maids while trying to keep it under control. During the confusion, Aqua throws Touma to Carissa via Ascalon and he destroys Catena as well as Carissa's face. Carissa is shot across the palace.
Just as everything was about to end well, Fianmma shows up. Carissa is laying on a road all by herself and Fianmma starts talking to her if he should kill her or not. Touma comes in before Fianmma could strike and saves her. Fianmma shows the remote he got and despite Carissa's warning he activates the remote, summoning robot mode Index right in front of Touma, and uses her to attack him. After seeing how remote works, Fianmma leaves.
Sasha in Russia is on the run with her boss, and Vent helps her escape.
Archbishop and the queen claims that having a remote control was only natural. They wouldn't have left Index in Academy City without some sort of safety device. There's only two remotes, one with Archbishop and other with queen. Fianmma took queen's remote. Stiyl is outraged by this. Index will be put under their care for now. Touma asks Stiyl to take care of Index and decides to head to Russia to give Fianmma a good one. End of volume.

BTW, Touma did destroy Carissa's face too!? What a waste! She's damn hot! :(
Well, for Italians, Lidvia is a weird name. More like Latvia lol. Ridovia sounds moar Italian.
Actually no, neither Lidvia, nor Latvia, nor Ridovia(lol, really, if i ever met a girl called Ridovia, i'd probably burst into laughter in her face...) are Italian names
The Italian name would be "Lidia". Then again, i don't think the author cared to give her an actual Italian name, just something that sounded like a mix of Italian and Latin(i'm not sure Lidvia is Latin either)
Anyeze, Angelen and Luccia(there's a C too much here...) aren't exactly Italian names either...

I believe Part of him wanted to attain Level 6. As we saw it, even as a child he was always attacked by people. By attending Level 6, he hoped that nobody would even consider attacking him anymore. He's just tired of it.
What's interesting is that he was attacked regularly after he was defeated and the experiment was canceled. So I guess that people didn't want to challenge him before because they thought that he was no.1 But now when he lost, many people suddenly thought that he was weak. Wasn't this experiment supposed to be a secret? Who spread the news that Accel was defeated by Touma?
By the way, I think that those researchers were giving up too easily. Accel was defeated by street fight? That didn't make sense at all based on his ability. They should analyze the result and they should realize that it was really irrelevant. If anything they should arrange Accel to fight Touma again.
they proably would have, but with Tree Diagram out of the picture, it would be impossible to interprit the data. Plus, from what I hear
It was all apart of Crowley's plan
Just because the Experiment itself was secret, the fact that Accel lost to a Level 0 was not. Rumors have a way of spreading around.
and about them suddenly beginning to attack him, I see it like this:
People regularly attacl him and he defeats them, but when the news that he lost, and may not be the stongest spread, all those people that were too scared to fight him before got a confidence boost and decided to give it a go.
And why wasn't Touma targeted? He may have been. Infact, unless I heard wrong, he went on the beach holiday in Vol 4 to gat away and let the situation calm down because of this. Plus, the fact that he was the one to defeat Accel prob isn't common knowledge, just that it was a Level 0.

Do you guys think Rikou will get better and somehow able to use her ability (upgraded one too, I think) again?
The focus on Hazamura and Rikou might have some reasons isn't it?
Maybe, Hamazure got a notable protagonic roles since Vol.15, wherever he is sure will go against Aleister's plots enough to make him(have headeaches, rage, orz. wtf!, etc, etc) send his main assault forces just to rid him off. If only he would have arrived in time, maybe Frenda will be alive :T_T: As users like Cubijack said Hamazura is anti-Aleister Deus ex machina. Aleister isn't used to be like that.
Wasn't this experiment supposed to be a secret? Who spread the news that Accel was defeated by Touma?
No, they don't know that Touma defeated him , they just knows Accelerator was defeated by a Level 0 and has become bland.

It was not related with Tree Diagram. It didn't need such high technology to realize that to defeat Accel by merely street fight was practically should be impossible. IMO As a good scientists, they shouldn't immediately take the result that irrelevant and didn't make sense as a fact. And it was from only one test too. Something must be wrong if it happened. My point is that they should re-test again just to make sure that Accel was really weaker than Touma. Yeah, except that the experiment was intervened by someone else.
Just because the Experiment itself was secret, the fact that Accel lost to a Level 0 was not. Rumors have a way of spreading around.
That's the point. Who started the rumor "if" people who knew about it were just Misaka, Touma, the sisters and those scientists. :eyebrow:
No, they don't know that Touma defeated him , they just knows Accelerator was defeated by a Level 0 and has become bland.
Why not? :confused: The sisters didn't tell them or they didn't ask the sisters? I think that the sisters were programmed to be totally obedient. So they should answer if they were asked. Well, may be Misaka told them to lie about it. I'm not sure if they were programmed to not lie. :heh: I still think that they could check it by analyzing the data in her brain. But without Tree Diagram, it looked like they couldn't do anything. :eyespin:

I don't mean that those thugs knew about the experiment. It's just that Accel stated that he was attacked more often after he was defeated. So I think that the one who started the rumor should be one of those who knew about the experiment. But yeah, it could be someone who accidentally came to the scene on that fight.

So I think that the one who started the rumor should be one of those who knew about the experiment. But yeah, it could be someone who accidentally came to the scene on that fight.
So the sisters only revealed that Accel was defeated by level 0. But they didn't tell them who, right?
After learing the "value of Misaka", they don't have the obligation to do so.

If i remember correctly the sisters are forced to keep it a secret through last order. Remember their responses to Touma and Mikoto when they questioned them about the experiment? Rumour was probably from someone else from the inside, like a researcher. There was already one radical in the research teams before it ended.

Its more like Aleister itself order to stop it without knowing the reason but since the director said that its to be stop then those scientist just stop it but still some are obsessed with the word level 6 so some might create their own research about it but still the whole level 6 thing is just a plot created by Aleister itself and who knows if level 6 is even possible. The only one close enough to be called level 6 is Accel to begin with

All the Level 6 experiments are weird anyway and probably wouldn't succeed.
In the first place, to achieve SYSTEM means an Esper has to be able to comprehend the will/sense/workings of Heaven, or God. In terms of physics, that's like figuring out the Theory of Everything (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything). I don't think killing 20000 girls, or eating Esper essence (eww) is going to get you anywhere.
That's why Accelerator was chosen, because of that wonderful brain of his, he represent the best chance of 'figuring' it out. I don't know how reliable this is, but the Wikia states that:
Actually, Aleister wants to make Accelerator into a Level 6 merging the Imaginary Number Distric with Accelerator and making him to evolve. According to him, the process is proceeding satisfactorily.

If you had already read up to that means you had read when the part when they introduce Seiri being their last iron wall that can withstand touma's so called misfortune :heh::heh:
Other girls? yap don't go to far away..... just look at his classmates :p
If Aleister's plan is to merge accel and the imaginary sectors then his plan succeeded when accel evolve into black wings but if accel could make it permanent maybe that's when level 6 will emerge.
EDIT:
just finished reading the translated part of vol 13 and what can I say its truly epic when fuze=kazakiri emerges. But I didn't think that accel will say good luck to touma though I was surprised their :D

Apparently Touma's appeal to women isn't a by product of Imagine Breaker.
He inherited it from his father who is also a chick magnet much to the ire of his mother.

I've only skimmed vol 18, as I'm still very slowly going through 17 on the rare occasion that I can dedicate any time to it.
I'm sure tha name of the first princess is Rimea, and the one who helped them to sneak in the security sistems was the princess Villian, Misaka Mikoto was in Academy City that time.
Yes, what happened was Mikoto was at a cafe or some place like that, in Academy City, when Touma called her up on his phone to ask for her help. Once he actually got into the tunnels, their phone connection was severed and Mikoto was unable to contact him again, which is what led to the events from vol 20 that were previously described in the thread.
I don't want to comment on the end of the level 6 shift, as it's all one of those cases that proves that "coincidence" is the greatest power in this story and I don't want to rant about it. On the other hand, if Aleister actually controlled "coincidence" it might actually explain a great deal.
touya is a chick magnet but he likes shiina
Errr... I think when a man is a chick magnet but still remains completely devoted to the woman he married, it's more than just "like", dear.
Kleeyook
2010-03-20, 04:23
I doubt if Touma's real power is regeneration. Seeing him out of hospital from severed injuries very early after the battles, and it seems like his body heals faster and faster as time pass. While Kuroko, sitting in the wheel chair for weeks. :P
you also forget that Touma has a miracle worker as his personal doc. Kuroko probably just recieved standard patching up.
Otherwise, it's the demand of plot necessity.

If you ask me their relationship is like louise and saito but the good part touya isn't like saito that just get hit any other woman that makes moves on him. Its more like touya just like touma ended up helping a girl. for example mikoto's mom but ended up just like touma in a good way but for touya that's all he will end it their after he had help them no further relationship. just being stick to one type.

Hi! this is my first post in animesuki (sorry for the lame introduction :p )
i've been following the TAMNI series for months an recently the BT is updating their TAMNI series (hopefully it won't be dropped off)
anyway i always wondering several things since i only read TAMNI from the BT so i think maybe you guys who read the original novel would know :
1. When and why does aleister built Academy City for? to suspend his life?if that so, why create the curriclum for developing ESper?
2. From the series it seems that touma's memories are something precious, why is that? i don't see anything different from him even before his memories are wiped off.
3. Does the latest novel reveals the final enemy? from what i heard it seems that the most antagonist character is fiamma of the right. is it true?
Oh and i think that why does heaven canceller always taking care of touma is beacuse of aleister told him to and since heaven canceller's amin principl is to help anyone who needs help.

Funny when you reminded me of that scene but thing is its hard to pinpoint touma's fetish. I mean HE HAS A TONS OF!!!! I would probably rant till no end to pinpoint what this guy likes :heh::heh:
As for when aleister built academy city. I also ask that in the q & a thread and they come up with rather good numbers but one thing is for sure. Academy city had been running for 20 years I think. And as for why.... simple. To eradicate magic :D
Touma's memories could be special because it could answer forth some questions. Many people are speculating that when he remember his pass the key to complete imagine breaker could be seen but who knows.
The final enemy isn't revealed yet but probably last enemy are either Laura or Aleister. I wouldn't be surprised if one of those are the true enemies. ;)

1. When and why does aleister built Academy City for? to suspend his life?if that so, why create the curriclum for developing ESper?
Without going into detail, Aleister's main goal is the destruction of magic. And to do that, he would need to create a power that can rival the great Churches.
As for when this all started, it's not revealed yet. But a fair guess is 1947, when it was officially recorded that he died.
2. From the series it seems that touma's memories are something precious, why is that? i don't see anything different from him even before his memories are wiped off.
So far, Touma's memories haven't been seriously touched upon. Though the book does mention them once in awhile
3. Does the latest novel reveals the final enemy? from what i heard it seems that the most antagonist character is fiamma of the right. is it true?
At this rate, the 'final' boss would probably be Aleister Crowley. But so far, Fiamma is the big villain.

is plasma storm possible?
tsunade666
2010-03-20, 16:58
plasma storm is impossible for kongou mitsuko. The only one who could do it is accelerator because he can control wind atmosphere.
its not a form of telekinesis. Its more like air manipulation. To the form of limited only to touch. Anything that's been touch will be blasted with wind. More like a guided missile if you ask me. As for the crosser is her hand and anything it touch will be mark and fired with with wind.

and you don't have any powers. that's even lamer in YOUR book, i believe.
that said, back to the ability. the wind only pushes the object where it touches the object. So if it's a 2000kg vehicle, she'd need more than that to move it, let alone make it fly. And all that concentrated in the area of a palm. Hardly lame, don't you think?

Give her some credit. She did master it or rather specialize herself on it. Though the range is problematic but most of the ability doesn't have that much range to begin with. The only one I know that had wide range one are kakine and mikoto which at least 30 meters radius attack range.

If that happens sure that esper or mage is going to have a big restriction like Awaki has with her "Move Point".
Or maybe is a right only exclusive for those who reaches a godlike status.

A simple answer would be because no one knows what time really is. we only know that time exists because space-time are related(day-night+aging-->dying and such things). by seeing things that change periodically humans have paid a lot of attention to time but other than that, i would say it is an unknown variable that does exist but outside of the human realm.

Which is exactly why it will be interested to see it implemented in a pseudo-scientific series like this. And to comment on godlike ability, the magic side is basically getting their power from *god* itself, so it wouldn:t be that strange for someone on magic side to be close to godlike right? I just think that it would be interested to see time manipulation ability in the series even with a lot of restriction on it XD Oh well, just a rant though so don:t mind me too much XD

It was not explained, only mentioned. Here's a rough translation of that segment:
"From experience, Accelerator learned that something strange would happen in the 3rd dimension while reflecting teleport type abilities, but that's a different thing."
This was after Accelerator saw what happened when he used his redirection on a magic attack.

Ehh... Well, it would be good if the author try to explain how it can happen. Rather than tell the readers to accept that he can do it right away. Vol.20 just recently released right? I hope that it wasn't because a debate like this that made the author decided to write that line. Just to tell the readers to accept that Kuroko cannot attack Accel by teleporting her weapon into his stomach. :eyespin:
But each fiction can have different theory about teleportation. So, does the novel explain anything about how teleportation in this novel work? How is it related with vector in this case? :eyebrow:

How much Lv4 differ from lv5 in term of power and capability? I think the difference between each Lv's powers are ambiguous. How did you guy know what lv5 can do ,but lv4 and lower doesn't
Are there any examples of the lv4 and lv5 persons who have the same ability in the novel?

It's already explained in vol. 8 which is the volume that reveal almost every details about teleportation.
And for the idea of attacking someone by teleport something inside him , I'm sorry to say that it's useless really even with the one that's not Accelerator.
Cuz it has been stated that doing that kind of thing require more time and calculation than a normal teleportation, if the target move quickly the power will be nullified.
Of course normally you can do it with a lifeless target but for human or the other moving target it's reallydifferent(except your target is really a fool and stand like a sitting duck waiting for you to do that.).

Hmm... I wouldn't take that as a fact seriously. 0_o Teleportation should work in an instant when it is activated. The time required to teleport should be zero in theory. No normal human can react in time. But each fiction has different theory that's why I asked how it work here. Yeah, it may be difficult if the target is fast. But what's about a surprised attack? Calculation shouldn't be any problem too if the user has a functional brain like Accel. :rolleyes:
I just want to know how can this teleportation be reflected by Accel? Because I can't see how is it related with vector at all. That's why I asked this question. It can be used in real situation or not is another question. If you know then can you explain it here?

Teleporting is not a reflex. You need to calculate the exact coordinates of the object you are teleporting (hereafter referred to as target object) and your target location, relative to whatever reference frame you may choose (for example, Kuroko sets her target object as the origin, while Awaki sets herself as the origin, IIRC). And, not everyone has Accelerator's computational ability. To illustrate, the computational ability of ~10000 MISAKA clones working together only comes up to half of what Accelerator is capable of.
To learn more on the physics behind Index-verse teleportation (among other things), see this (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=92229) thread, including my post here (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?p=2963373#post2963373) which relates it to other examples in fiction.
Sharing a new one with you guys:
Terra, Aqua and the pope is having a conversation outside. They decide to use their believers to attack Academy City.
Yomikawa along with her co-workers from Anti Skill are at 3rd district demonstrating their equipment to people from outside. There were times where Academy City would invite people with interest to show their inventions, but this time it's strictly weapons and arsenals only. She speculates that this was due to protest going on around the world. Roman Catholics are protesting against Academy City world wide, and the demonstration they're having right now is aimed at showing what Academy City is capable of.
Touma, Tsuchimikado and Blue hair was having a conversation as well on which color suits the bunny girl the best. (black, red or white?) Fukiyose tries to shut them up by choking Tsuchimikado, kicking Blue hair and headbutting Touma. Oyafune, a teacher working at their school, hears the commotion and breaks up the fight. She orders them to pick the weed away by hand from school ground after school. The two ditch them, and Touma is left alone to work with Fukiyose. While working they start playing around again, Fukiyose trying to show her 150km/h fork ball against Touma (thus the fanservice). Touma almost gets into trouble again after foul ball hits Oyafune who came to check up on them, but manage to escape.
Stiyl and Anise are interrogating Viaggio and Ludovia, trying to find out what God's Right Seat is after. Ludovia smirks and tell them that what they're after is stated in their name.
Touma meets Misaka on the way home. They talk about how he got her mom's number and why there's protest against Academy City going on around the globe. After they split Touma is contacted by Oyafune's mother, who happens to be one of Academy City's higher up in person. She tells him that there's supernatural power at work behind the protests, that these people are forced to take action against the city. She asks for his help but is shot by Tsuchimikado right after. Academy City wanted a reason to go on war so what she was doing would only work against them. Tsuchimikado was asked by her to shoot her to prevent Academy City from doing further form of punishment (such as attacking her daughter). Misaka hears the shot and comes back, but they've already left after calling for help.
They get on super plane that can go up to 7000km/h to head to France. Tsuchimikado tells Touma they're after Document of Constantine. It has power to make catholic people believe whatever the pope says. In this case pope said something like Academy City is evil, and people started going on a rampage. Before Tsuchimikado could finish his explanation, they reach above Avignon, so they jump off. Touma makes a vow to kill Tsuchimikado if he gets a chance.
Touma lands on a river, but Itsuwa rescues him before drowning. Amakusas were gathering info in France on what was causing this, and Itsuwa found Touma by pure chance since she didn't know about Tsuchimikado. They join up before regrouping with him. They go to nearby cafe to wrap things up before making a move. Itsuwa explains how popes used to be here at Avignon couple centuries ago, and since using the document in Vatican would take long time (taking votes and approvals), they decided to use it here instead. Palais des papes seems most likely place to be where the document is housed.
They're spotted by angry mob before they could plan things out. This seems to be their attack against Touma, after spotting him drop off from the plane. They start moving toward Palais des papes. while dodging the mob to get there, Tsuchimikado contacts them. He was heading there as well, but wall of angry mob got too dense to pass by. They decide to cut the magical pipeline connecting Vatican and Avignon which allows the document to activate instead. This pipeline is flow of energy that runs through the globe, and they need either Itsuwa or Tsuchimikado to alter its path away from Avignon.
Touma and Itsuwa end up at one of museums. Just as Itsuwa is about to shut the pipeline with her panties, Terra attacks them with giant white guillotine blade. When Touma touches it the blade shatters into pieces, but goes back to Terra's right hand and forms a blade once again. Terra mentions that since God's Right Seat can't use normal magic he has to let someone else use the document, so he hopes that they'll entertain him a little. Terra starts attacking again. Touma block most of his attacks and Itsuwa jumps in, using seven wires to attack like kanzaki. The wires wrap around him without any damage. Terra goes through wall behind him and attacks, and the two can't do anything but to defend themselves.
Terra is disappointed in Touma, saying that Vent would never have lost against him if her punishment wasn't broken and fallen angel wore out. Terra strikes with his blade and Touma is blown away but his body remain intact instead of getting sliced in half. Itsuwa figures out that Terra's blade is made of flour and once she does Terra explains with a smile that he can alter the rank of things. He put himself above the metal wires so it didn't deal any damage to him. Tsuchimikado joins in and attacks Terra with his magical origami while sending a note to Itsuwa and Touma to get away when the two collide. Before they do there's huge explosion outside, crumbling the museum wall. Academy City sent their army to attack Avignon.
Dozens of them with powered suits start taking down the mob. Terra retreats in order to secure the Document of Constantine and escape because that's what the Academy City is here for. Touma and Itsuwa goes after Terra while Tsuchimikado stays behind to stall the Academy City. Tsuchimikado manages to crash the suits' system, thanks to the suits still being at testing stage. He spots HsB-02 flying above him and questions now immobilized soldiers if they plan to bomb entire city of Avignon, and wonders if they got something more. The HsB-02 planes slices around Avignon using its earth blade, and Accelerator tells them to bomb just the Palais des papes instead of bombing whole Avignon.
Touma and Itsuwa reaches Palais des papes, once there he calls Misaka to check on why Academy City sent their people in. She tells him that right now there's nothing but news on Avignon on TV. There's cult group working to create weapon of mass destruction and French government has asked Academy City to intervene, asking for their expertise in taking the weapon apart. She asks Touma where he is but their talk is cut short when Terra shows up after taking out suits that have infiltrated into palace, with the document in his hand.
Bombing starts and with that Touma begins his fight against Terra with Itsuwa. Terra explodes his blade and shoots them out like a bullet at them. Touma is unable to react but Istuwa pulls him away just in time and strikes at Terra. Itsuwa gets injured instead and Terra scoffs at her for being dead weight but she answers to him that she's found his weakness. Before she could speak Terra attacks and knock her unconscious. Terra tells Touma how he's utterly disappointed and that his could have protected her if he had full power of Imagine Breaker. Finding confused look in Touma, Terra asks "how can you not know it? or is it possible that you've forgotten?" Touma screams in anger and that confirms Terra's suspicion, asking when and how he lost his memory. Terra starts attacking again saying it won't matter since he's going to die here anyway.
With this attack Touma realizes his weakness; Terra can't change more than one rank at a time. If he puts human being above a weapon, his blade isn't deadly for time being unless he puts flour above a person, and on top of that he has to actually say it out loud every time he does. Touma asks why go this far, and Terra's answer is that he needs to guide lost sheep and judge them before passing onto promised land. After that Touma gives his usual speech, pummels Terra to ground and destroys the document. With the document destroyed and Terra lying on ground, Touma asks him what Imagine Breaker is. Before Terra could speak attack from HsB-02 blows the two away and where Terra was laying is covered in scorching flame.
When Itsuwa comes to, she finds Touma unconscious and damages caused by HsB-02. Parts of room has melted due to so much heat and covered with steam. She hears Accel speaking just as she start tending Touma, from where heat is still generated where no normal human being should be able to stand. She stays put not knowing if he's ally or foe, steam giving good cover for her and Accel leaves soon after to deeper part of palace.
Ludovia tells Stiyl that God's Right Seat is trying to become being equal to an angel and even more, sitting right next to where god resides. Terra manage to survive the attack and escape to Vatican, where he's welcomed by Aqua and is sliced in half. Aqua found out that Terra was experimenting his power on non Catholics who pass by Vatican. He heads off to Academy City to stop what's causing the chaos.
Misaka is staring blankly at her phone after hearing the talk between Touma and Terra, and volume ends.

Teleporting is not a reflex. You need to calculate the exact coordinates of the object you are teleporting (hereafter referred to as target object) and your target location, relative to whatever reference frame you may choose (for example, Kuroko sets her target object as the origin, while Awaki sets herself as the origin, IIRC). And, not everyone has Accelerator's computational ability. To illustrate, the computational ability of ~10000 MISAKA clones working together only comes up to half of what Accelerator is capable of.
I understand. I just want to point out that it is a user limitation. If the user is much more powerful like level 5 then it should be more effective right?
To learn more on the physics behind Index-verse teleportation (among other things), see this (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=92229) thread, including my post here (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?p=2963373#post2963373) which relates it to other examples in fiction.
It basically means that the user use another dimension to travel to the destination. But that dimension has slower time than our world. So that's why the teleportation looks very fast. Using this theory, it means that it has a delay time to teleport. That dimension has its own laws of physics but some basic concepts like energy transfer and momentum are still the same.
Back to my question, I think that it should be more appropriate if Accel reflects those objects before they can exit that dimension and reach their destination. Because it's no point if he can only react when those objects are already in his body. It's possible to change the trajectory by changing the momentum in that dimension. But it means that Accel's ability is also capable of manipulating vector in another dimension which indicates that his AIM field is distributed to another dimension too. :twitch: Don't know if this is natural or not. :eyebrow: And I wonder if this happens automatically or he calculates it. Because I don't think that he can see in another dimension. If he can then I think that it means that he has potential to be a teleporter too which shouldn't be possible. But may be at this point everything is possible. :eyespin:
All of these are just speculation based on speculation. I guess that it can't be taken seriously until it's explained in the novel. And it can be totally wrong because I don't read the novel. :heh: But thank you anyway, that's a good reading. ;)

Hehe highlight of that volume for me is when Itsuwa was explaining the details of her magic ritual, I guess typical of an Amakusa Catholic, involving typical day-to-day stuff that somehow requires the use of her white panties... Thanks for the detailed explanation, my Chinese -> English version barely let me understand half of what you wrote (hell I didn't even know Accel was the one leading that operation), but the dialogue I did manage to decipher was funny as hell:heh:
It's rather amusing how the author loves to use coincidences as a plot device for 'x' character to meet Touma, but what the hell bring on the harem!

Which is exactly why it will be interested to see it implemented in a pseudo-scientific series like this. And to comment on godlike ability, the magic side is basically getting their power from *god* itself
coughAurreluscough

Yeah but the problem is Touma never used such powers before he loss his memories, IMO Touma, being at Academy City, had no way to discover his powers in a scientific way.

About LV.....
How much Lv4 differ from lv5 in term of power and capability? I think the difference between each Lv's powers are ambiguous. How did you guy know what lv5 can do ,but lv4 and lower doesn't
Are there any examples of the lv4 and lv5 persons who have the same ability in the novel?
I'll give an example after this.

aah....... few words. The author make Touma an undying falcon puncher which even slice and dice and even pummeled to the ground his still alive and standing the perfect allies of justice
as for accel..... dues ex machina if you ask me :heh: his ability is sooooooo vague that only gives you an impression like what " control over vector? " if a you ask a layman about that he would probably say lame... pretty lame. But it has tons of use for a super brain killing psycho like Accel.
I don't know much about teleportation because I skip vol 08 because its focused on judgment and kuroko not the super gar touam and psycho accel.
as for explanation of difference in ability of level 4 and 5. I will give my idea using teleportation as example.
The current know teleportation are all level 4.
The first mostly known is "instant teleportation" of kuroko. And RIGHT its called instant because it has the minimum time gap or delay. its pretty much the fastest teleport of all but with this kind of ability it has lots of limitation. They say that kuroko has the most general or common teleportation but I beg to differ. She also has specialization like the others.
Using herself and the object as origin. Setting as zero and the distance of the enemy and where to transport are her key items. Being callen instant has the meaning like the name implies instant. In the anime you could see that is sure is looks like instant. But if you observe it well. Its all " SMALL " to small. She never teleport something much bigger than herself and the distance are all within the reach of eyes. Given the speed it sacrifice the weight of the object plus the distance
The next one is forgot the name but its also an ability of teleportation and a specialization one. The one specialize in teleporting in the back of the enemy. its requirement is the teleporter must know the location of the enemy and whats the surrounding on it. She can't teleport if theirs an obstruction their because she would just be stuck their. And I think its range is not so great too. Probably the same like kuroko because teleproting on the back of the enemy is strictly tiring. And its probably the closest one on someone asking if its possible to teleport something inside the body of an enemy. If you teleport on the inside of the enemy you will consider on where it will be teleported. But if you teleport it on the empty space behind the enemy then you wouldn't consider anything.
Lastly is the "move point" of awaki. The one known has the ability to become level 5 but become traumatize because of being stuck on the wall for.... days....yes days ><. If I'm stuck on the wall for days I will also be traumatize. The move point requires massive!!! massive!!! computing capabilities because it has RANGE!! unlike others which requires touch. Awaki specialize herself due to trauma of being stuck to walls to teleport with range. If you teleport something with range then its possible to hide yourself and not to put you in harm. And being a teleporter that is scared of teleporting herself she has a fatal flaw. And to compensate for it. She put on range. But here's the problem. Unlike the first two which had speed this one hasn't. Their is a time lag. Kuroko being the fastest teleporter. But for awaki. She is also fast if its small but this girl thinks big............ like a building. :D :D She can teleport a building but being building it has a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge time lag. Enough time for touma to punch it back. Like on what you see on macross when a spaceship is leaving their warp zone. Just imagine it like this. She has the power and the range plus her maximum range is also quite far but lack speed.
That's the most level 4.
And as for difference of level 4 and level 5. Then it could be because all of the level 4 are only specialize in one matter. As for level 5. They are flexible. Too flexible. Taken misaka as example. She should be an electro master. Firing rounds of rounds of lightning but she also mastered the electro magnetism. For others it should be possible but if you ask me its like dual skill even if electro magnetism branch of from being an electro master. She walks walls. Complete control of any substance that conducts electricity. 10 billion bolts of lightning then her railgun. Isn't that flexible? they can go from defense to offense like its nothing. Unlike those level 4 that needs to specialize or excel on something on the field of their ability to power up.
and lastly this should be discussed on our abilities thread already. We had a thread like that now :D :p
btw thanks for the spoiler of vol 14 though I probably know where it was originally found :D

It was because he dislikes the human traffic with children and maybe because of Sylvia, still he is almost a "God", in the SS used defensive magic in a offensive way, maybe to inflict less damage as possible.

coughAurreluscough
Yeah but the problem is Touma never used such powers before he loss his memories, IMO Touma, being at Academy City, had no way to discover his powers in a scientific way.
The way I see it, Touma's memory loss was only supposed to be an ironic contrast to Index's fate after her ordeal with John's Pen. Index ended up keeping her memories while Touma ended up losing his.
Touma's personality is almost exactly the same as before the memory loss, and it's fairly evident from the fact that no one found out. Of course, he forgot some things, like who his parents are and the fact that Misaka has a reputation for being a lv5 esper, but those facts could and were easily rediscovered. In fact, isn't it because Touma's personality stayed the same after the memory loss that Misaka realizes her affection for him in vol. 16?
Terra's provoking question about Touma's memory is only based on the assumption that you would naturally discover your full capabilities after having the power for so long. Touma probably never learned his IB's full power, especially since all he knew back then was science when his IB transcends science. Touma only got angry because someone found out about his memory loss.
Now, on the issue of the full power of Imagine Breaker, I'd imagine that it's just the ability to negate all magical and esper abilities, not most abilities. Touma's right arm has shown to have its limits, namely against Index's Dragon Breath and Stiyl's Innocentus. If IB was at full power, Touma probably could negate the more powerful abilities will less effort, and it probably won't be limited to his right arm anymore.
On a side note, d'aaww Index got embarrassed. I guess this proves that Index probably would have bitten Touma for him seeing her sleeping regardless of his answer.
I also wonder if the magical heroines like Index and Kanzaki Kaori will ever get involved more with the esper side, or if any of the esper heroines like Misaka will get involved with the magical side like Accelerator. I want to see Index more in action, and I want to see Misaka be put against people that can match her in combat like Accel.

my second question : we don't if what terra had in his mind about IB is the same as what fiamma-chan has in his mind about it so if the author is using the policy of "silence all those who know the truth" then having terra disapear is a logical step by aquas hand , however fiamma also thinks he knows what IB really is but never really made a grand statement of knowing what its really capable of if touma unlocks its power. so a logical conclusion is that either fiamma and terras depth of knowledge about it is different or they're talking about different things. :confused:

In fact, isn't it because Touma's personality stayed the same after the memory loss that Misaka realizes her affection for him in vol. 16?
Mmmm... putting aside she has friends, is rich, is a Level 5, etc... she just wants to feel more "special" and in that way she is foccusing on Touma, she realized her affections because she discovered Touma was acting friendly the whole time and thus she fears to not be special, thats why she, trying to bring him a better image of her, thought to ask the Level 5 telepatj known as the Queen for help and offered her help when an injured Touma was going to a fight.
Terra's provoking question about Touma's memory is only based on the assumption that you would naturally discover your full capabilities after having the power for so long. Touma probably never learned his IB's full power, especially since all he knew back then was science when his IB transcends science. Touma only got angry because someone found out about his memory loss.
Terra assumed that fact from the basis of the abnormal luck of people with divine powers as saints.
Now, on the issue of the full power of Imagine Breaker, I'd imagine that it's just the ability to negate all magical and esper abilities, not most abilities. Touma's right arm has shown to have its limits, namely against Index's Dragon Breath and Stiyl's Innocentus. If IB was at full power, Touma probably could negate the more powerful abilities will less effort, and it probably won't be limited to his right arm anymore.
True, the volume says that his current power is only a bit of his full powers can extend to his whole body and beyond, and do more rather than just erasing powers like stopping a rockslide without being imbued with powers(magic or esp).
I also wonder if the magical heroines like Index and Kanzaki Kaori will ever get involved more with the esper side, or if any of the esper heroines like Misaka will get involved with the magical side like Accelerator. I want to see Index more in action, and I want to see Misaka be put against people that can match her in combat like Accel.
Accelerator has no idea about what magic is yet, he just fought magicians just like Gunha did against Aurrelus.
so how does terra know what IB is really capable of if it is something yet to be discovered? i guess toma didn't know what it is even when he had his memories but then how does terra know ?
Well, he was the one who said that Imagine breaker is not the real name of his power and existed many time ago under a different denomination and sure he knew about him but sadly Aleister send his forces and then that friki zealot-called-Acqua killed Terra D:*tears*. About the memories, Terra just assumed his memory loss and pushed Touma to admit this, such misfortune.
my second question : we don't if what terra had in his mind about IB is the same as what fiamma-chan has in his mind about it so if the author is using the policy of "silence all those who know the truth" then having terra disapear is a logical step by aquas hand , however fiamma also thinks he knows what IB really is but never really made a grand statement of knowing what its really capable of if touma unlocks its power. so a logical conclusion is that either fiamma and terras depth of knowledge about it is different or they're talking about different things. :confused:
I think both have some connection, Fiamma and Terra hinted that Touma's power is divine in nature, I don't think that Fiamma is going to tell Touma how to defeat him by telling how his powers work. But, there some chances, if Terra was about to tell Touma the truth, why not Fiamma? :heh:.

fianma wants touma's right hand, he'd chop it from touma's shoulder rightaway if he had the chance so why would he tell touma the truth :heh:
it is already vol 20 and we dont see sudden power-up like in those shounen manga, but I want to see it happen with Touma. he's stupid not to search the truth about his right hand after all the things happened >_>
the arc bishop might know something about it, Touma can force her to tell him, as he wont be able to get to ask Aleister. other than the arc bishop and aleister I cant think one who might know Touma's right hand's truth. sasha maybe?

Does touma's charm also work on adults? on age 18 like oriana and kaori it might be pulled off because of 2 years gap but despite the looks of Laura she's an adult. She's always been teased like that an archbishop that looks young but only looks young :heh::heh:
Touma: go ask help from his dad touya
Touya: Okay! Touma if its for my son let's go
Shiina: and Touya-san where do you think your going?
Touya: kaa-san..... your face your face, your scaring touma.
:heh::heh::heh:
so how does terra know what IB is really capable of if it is something yet to be discovered? i guess toma didn't know what it is even when he had his memories but then how does terra know ?
my second question : we don't if what terra had in his mind about IB is the same as what fiamma-chan has in his mind about it so if the author is using the policy of "silence all those who know the truth" then having terra disapear is a logical step by aquas hand , however fiamma also thinks he knows what IB really is but never really made a grand statement of knowing what its really capable of if touma unlocks its power. so a logical conclusion is that either fiamma and terras depth of knowledge about it is different or they're talking about different things. :confused:
Terra and Fiannma would probably know it. Terra being the oldest in the God's right seat should be the most knowledgeable of the 4. And Fianma being the second. Heck his old enough to even take disciples. His disciple is the pope itself.
Those two probably had access on lots of stuff plus unlike the other 2 which had justice and revenge on their minds. This 2 are corrupt and hunger for power. So it wouldn't be too surprising if they are seeking powers in lots of ways.
The way I see it, Touma's memory loss was only supposed to be an ironic contrast to Index's fate after her ordeal with John's Pen. Index ended up keeping her memories while Touma ended up losing his.
Touma's personality is almost exactly the same as before the memory loss, and it's fairly evident from the fact that no one found out. Of course, he forgot some things, like who his parents are and the fact that Misaka has a reputation for being a lv5 esper, but those facts could and were easily rediscovered. In fact, isn't it because Touma's personality stayed the same after the memory loss that Misaka realizes her affection for him in vol. 16?
Terra's provoking question about Touma's memory is only based on the assumption that you would naturally discover your full capabilities after having the power for so long. Touma probably never learned his IB's full power, especially since all he knew back then was science when his IB transcends science. Touma only got angry because someone found out about his memory loss.
Now, on the issue of the full power of Imagine Breaker, I'd imagine that it's just the ability to negate all magical and esper abilities, not most abilities. Touma's right arm has shown to have its limits, namely against Index's Dragon Breath and Stiyl's Innocentus. If IB was at full power, Touma probably could negate the more powerful abilities will less effort, and it probably won't be limited to his right arm anymore.
In a series with lots of coincidence on their side. I wouldn't be surprised on the memory lost being the key to unlocking lots of secrets.
And touma being the same.... I don't know maybe they are the same because he got suck on it the same way. As for before memory lost he always got on troubles with the esper and after it he got suck in troubles on the magic side. Being like styl being the first to ask for help and touma seeing those things on the cram school with lots of deaths. Would only strengthen his justice again. It's more like the environment for me on how one takes actions. Maybe because of the same environment that lead too being the same allies of Justice. Plus isn't Aleister the one who ask for help on the magic side? and even ask to bring his Imagine BREAKER!!!! along. I also wouldn't be surprised if its the plan of Aleister himself. Molding his young imagine breaker on his ideal way. Being the hero type of person. Plus touma meeting with the SISTERS and meeting on an Angel. If all those meeting didn't occur I think their might be a chance of difference in way.
Terra's way of gathering information by provoking the enemy is basics. But he sure got a big info with memory lost. He might be playing with words at first. Saying that maybe you had forgotten the way on using it. But turning it right might give Terra some kind of feeling of superiority. Like when you know a secret and the person doesn't know it. And you want to tease the other on the secret. It might be same. Terra saying small by small info on Touma about the true nature of imagine breaker and its true name.
Given the almost 5 people in the whole world knows the true nature of imagine breaker then with one down. The only once who might know it are Aleister and Fianmma for sure plus Laura might be and some hints on the pope knowing something when Fiannma said that a boy from Japan can cancel miracles.
As for its true potential..... I'm thinking of complete control on magic and esper abilities. Like total domination and not just erasing but controlling what ever it touch.

Touma's charm is that he's so direct.
Misaka has been shown to be tsundere only over the people close to her. Think about it; she's nice to all girls other than Kuroko, and in vol. 12, the only person she would readily dump her stuff onto is Kuroko, because they're roommates. Touma's the only person whom Misaka would throw her full power at, because she knows that he can take it and won't hurt her back.
The same goes for Index. She had chances to bite other annoying guys, like Tsuchimikado and the blue-haired guy. Why didn't she?
In a way, certain girls being so abusive to him is a sign of trust, because they know him well enough to know that they can. It's like cracking joke insults toward your friends.
I think Touma's Imagine Breaker is meant to be a divine power, as in a power that transcends past everything known to man. However, the author has to be careful with his future explanation, because it sounds like IB is really close to magic when it's supposed to be neither magic nor esper ability. IB needs to be explained somehow as divine, yet also different from the religious magic in this series.

Well, your guess may be right. I for one vote for the miracle since it does make sense when Touma's the user. Miracles don't work by use of chants or magic and it certainly can't be manipulated by science.
Actually there's probably a way for miracles with science...

Just want to toss in something for discussion... Anyone think that Touma is just pretending that he lost his memory?? After all, he did refer to himself as the Foxword.
Could it be that he is aware of his power's true intend all along and has been trying to hide it? So he simpyl took advanatge of the incidence around Index to make people believe that his memory is gone?

We all saw one of the "feathers of doom" touch his head. AFAIK, even Touma can't challenge the powers of Index under the Johann's Pen mode. He almost had his right hand shredded to bits by Dragon's Breath and even if he can reverse the effects of a spell (he did in the manga, not sure if canon), he was unable to do so with the Feathers spell.

Wow I just read the latest from Volume 9. First I want to thank Teh_Ping for working so hard making it possible for us to get what is happening. THANK YOU :D
Second, is that the first time Touma openly admitted lust/attraction to a girl? I mean not only does he scream “I WANT A KISS!!” , but he also says “So magnanimous! So completely different from those girls who bite others and those who give others a punch! I’m about to sink in this warmth!” and I really feel like handing myself over to you……” Openly in front of Fukiyose! Hahaha
Most of the time, when Touma gets in an 'unfortumate' situation he either panics, keeps it to himself, or completely doesn't notice-So it's refreshing for a change for him to make comments like this! :D
I'm sure when they meet up, sparks will fly, literally. :heh:

Remember when Mikoto saw Touma with 10032 in vol 12? She tried to electrocute him several times.
If Touma is seen with another girl and Mikoto misunderstands the situation as Touma flirting with other girls (and that probably will happen, considering his rotten luck), then she'll attack at full power. Then again, she did have more reasons to back then, since Touma WAS supposed to be on a date with her and ended up ditching her several times.

She did tried to electrocute him on her date with him when she saw his with imouto. Plus sparks are flying when she first saw touma and index in the underground railway.
Plus this time too because Touma should be in academy city but his not. That's probably more reason to electrocute him plus his with a girl!!! :heh::heh: "who wouldn't get angry on your husband that should have arrive at home already but then you found out his with a girl"
Finally an update with vol 13. And then finally a confirmation on Accel's mouth himself that he can't do what he can do before. Specifically what he had done to save Last Order. As for his current self he doesn't have the computational ability to purge all the threat inside Last Order. So the only way to save her is to rescue her and kill Kihara...... great his really a monster before brain damage.:uhoh::uhoh:

The little problem is Touma has not that sort of relation with Mikoto. He is free! And at the same time is very busy with the magic side.

What events before the beginning of the Index series? Mikoto's first meeting with Touma was the same as in Index, where Touma tries to save her from a bunch of thugs.
The only thing the Railgun manga added on was that Mikoto pestered Touma for a fight a lot before the Sisters arc came around.
Though even back then, Mikoto was still aware of her surroundings. She only zaps Touma if there aren't any bystanders nearby (thugs obviously don't count)
Anyway, I just read the update to vol9 ch2. You know, this proves that Mikoto would get more affection from Touma if she weren't so tsundere about it and was more honestly kind to Touma.

Touma likes the onee-san type, and well, Seiri is all tsun-tsun over him anyway. I'm guessing he views Oriana as his saviour, not as a sexual target, since you have to consider what was going on between him and Seiri before that (or Index for that matter) :heh: (Now that's going to hurt...)

First meeting with Index = Sparks flying but not hitting.

And oh shi-, my country is part of the show! D: Oh wait, I wonder what the role of the Philippines in the Third World War, as they are the country with the biggest percentage of Roman Catholics in Southeast Asia. (Just wondering...)

What's this, a Toaru Marauder's Map?
Like I said, it basically shows where (almost) everyone are during the events of vol 20.
And holy... that's quite a number of people going to where our heroes are now. Mugino, Mikoto, Fuse=Kazakiri, some bunch'a people from the English sect... not to mention some "big" people are already there too...
*back to lurker mode, looks like this forumer found more interesting things; such as the shipping wars on the Japs' side... stay frosty, oscar mike*
Considering the event in the Railgun manga right now (Ch25-29). I wonder what will happen if Mikoto somehow run into any of ITEM member or Mugino in Russia ^^

Though... Aqua's royal beauty is totally a trap set up by Knight Leader.
I am not sure Aqua has noticed it to be a trap himself.
What do you mean by trap? Didn't the princess did indeed have a crush on aqua? The Knight Leader just encourage the princess by saying things to explain why Aqua suddenly disappears from the princess

I wonder what the extent of Mikoto's mind reading powers are. Perhaps she can break into Misaka Worst's network and find out who's behind it.
If Mikoto ends up finding Accelerator, I doubt she'll fight him. She doesn't know that Accelerator got weaker, but she knows that she doesn't stand a chance against him.
With that said, does Mikoto stand a chance against anyone on the magic side?

Memory-reading, and only under special conditions. She electrocuted Harumi Kiyama, a former researcher, on contact when she was using the Level Upper network against Misaka. Mikoto ended up seeing her memories as a result.
don't think misaka actually has mind reading powers per se. Kiyama's brainwaves were still erratic after separating from the Network. Misaka's thundershock probably synched their brainwaves for a split second. If the effect lasted she'd probably suffer the same effects as the Level Upper users. Same theory with the Network. Misaka's shock was probably the protocol used to connect her to a "universal frequency"(aka disoriented Kiyama). Call it a fluke or a freak chance, but I don't Misaka's going to start rummaging around others' heads anytime soon. Like, ever.

Mikoto needs some kind of upgrade to keep up with the main protagonists and villains. Being able to sync frequencies with one of the Misaka Networks at will would probably be the closest powerup she can achieve.

Holy Shoooooot!!!
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! The catholics here most likely will be cannon feeders :D
They are soooo irritating that even their will be a world war III they will still be debating on the issue of condom. yap that's right :whistle: :heh: :p
BTW: Who the heck are those two names that are near our territory? the pearl eastern seas.

What to expect his superman. Superman always gets the girls. And he got taste but the problem is superman shoudln't be in love love relationship because his superman. :D

Misaka is strong enough to handle those soviet soldiers. Just don't bump up with the big shots in the enemy sides. Like those saint class weilding weapons and those Knight leaders plus Fiannma. She would be eaten alive.
But don't worry SUPERMAN! IS HERE AND THEIR IS NOTHING TO FEAR! plus his with hama and rikuo. And then their is hero touma plus lessa. though lessa mains objective is too seduce touma and make sure he wil complete his mission or just be a guide. But it will be funny to see Mikoto seeing touma with lessa and it will be surely be great if the scene is she ended up seeing is when lessa is doing what she's best with.... seduction power :D :D I bet railgun will be flying. Because right know their are only snow and mikoto can't use snow unlike before when she saw touma with itsuwa. Their is a soccer ball. And that ball is the one ended up flying. But right now the scene will prbobably much graver and much fun :heh: :heh: can't wait for vol 21.

no, I think Aqua is the same as Touma, a superhero without even an ounce of love feeling inside, but unlike Touma, he only attract royal beauties to fall for him :P.
U meant there's more than ONE royal beauty who fall for Aqua?

... True that...
By the way, I found something: basically this thing below shows the locations of characters and their movements in Volume 20.

... I sense Touma will have to deal with lots of things there...
That is awesome. The wait for the next volume is going to be unbearable.

Those 2 boxes just say "Russian Navy" and "Academy City submarine", not actually people names. The Russians were trying to intercept AC's ships to cut their supply line, but couldn't find any, since AC was transporting their supplies by submarine.
seeing that map, I still dont get it why Carissa have to start a war at that strait, to get pass France and go to Elizarina.
England could just fly by plane to Russia couldnt they? or am I missing something?

If she's going to follow Touma, then she'll bump into those big shots eventually. As much as I like ToumaxMisaka, I really don't like the idea of her becoming a liability. She needs a powerup more than Touma does right now.

woohoo! more updates! Thanks again!
So whose the other royalty that likes Aqua besides Vil? o-o
Edit: At Shadow5YA: I agree with you on that one. I find that Mikoto should get a bit of power up so she can stand close to Touma. haha, gotta love the combination of "shield" and "sword" for these two couple.

I wish that only Villian who falls for Aqua. I'm rooting for Touma x Carissa. Carissa is damn hot! the hottest of all casts imo, while Villian is very timid. And since Touma happen to be the one who beat her (with support from everyone else of course), it's better with Touma x Carissa pair just like Mugino x Hamatzura. :P

my guesing so far its that accelerator will become in the end a level 6 since he already defeated half of the sisters and he ended up fighting a few level 5's and with 128 railguns he could reach level 6 only his fight with kakine covered much expirience maybe awakened mode is a clue of him becoming a level 6? perhaps thats the reason the writter made the expirament to stop half way

Accelerator defeated half of the sisters, pushed himself to the limit to deal with the hound dogs without using his powers and the half awakened with Kihara, later fought with an awakened Kakine and last faced the superior being called Aiwass. I think he is about 5/7 to become a Level 6.
