It isn't just about combat, Touma doesn't need to punch someone out to steal her thunder away. Index really could have used an episode or so, like Kuroko got in Railgun that developed her into more than just a clingy jealous friend that wants to be more, just dedicated to her doing something very useful without Touma needing to be around or one upping her accomplishments. As for talking, talking isn't the same as action - be it fighting or non-fighting.
Yet Anime watchers don't know that. That's what I'be been saying, the Anime failed to portray how competent and capable Index can be without Touma being around.
Uhh, she did exist and her existence was the reason that hit was called on her mother in the first place. You don't need to be around to be important to events(Which is what makes Index so important in the Manga/LN since even when she isn't around her mere existence was the driving point for many things), especially when you're the reason said events are happening to others. Or that there's heavy foreshadowing that because of said events she will be considered of outmost importance to many. The Shadow group is set on fighting for her sake, and others, in the shadows without her knowledge and leaving Touma to be there for her in the light when things slip out or become too much to contain.
That's not the point. Touma, Accelerator, and Misaka have had plots as well that didn't have foreshadowing for them. They just happened. However as a Season ender they didn't even bother to leave anything open for fan interpetation on what will happen concerning Index while they left a great deal concerning Touma, Mikoto, and Accelerator and what they would be doing if a Season 3 starts.
