Think of Stiyl: He just needs to use his rune card.

The illusion of having an unlimited array of attacks makes your opponent think you are near invincible, especially for someone who needs to figure out the attack patterns to have a chance at victory, and I'm not sure if I got this part right, but the ritual in Birdy's case is to strenghten the spell, not casting it.

I dont blame her for that, but you know.... afterwards... When every thing settles down....

It's sort of both- the more she uses it, the stronger it gets.

Sort of like the 'tales of' series combat system.

I certainly hope not- It's actually more disturbing to get no news... Unless that's what Kamachi was aiming for- to show what happens if you mess with the Dark side and failed.

If nothing else she was probably set free when Accelerator shut down the Dark Side.

[Wilfriback]

To they have a reason to keep her alive??

Come on, its the dark side, trash can be replaced by trash and thos involved are less worth than that.

She's still a brilliant researcher. IRC, she made Testament. Killing her would be a waste of brain.

That's my line of thought too. If fact, I think it's likely that she was forced to work on a "New Testament" ... And which could very well be the cyborg system that made Hamazura a Kamen Rider.

Well, that idea has been shoved aside here, but I'll still support it until I'm proven wrong (with facts from the novels, not speculation)

Like how AC treated Amai Ao after he developed the Misaka Network and made Full Tunning by shoving all the blame of Level 6 Shift Project's "failure" on him?

If the members of the Board of Directors can be replaced if Aleister feels like it I can't see how they would spare her.

They killed him socially and economically.

Who said it was AC that did it? Most likely someone's son had a hand at that.

So, what if someona's son had a hand at killing her?

By that logic they wouldn't be sparing anybody now would they?

Sure if they had to, but what makes this a 'had to' situation?

But they still didn't kill him so your example is off.

So I read the whole of Index NT: 6 in one go just now and I have to say, this whole volume was epic; the fights, the interactions, and everything else in between.

My favourite characters in the whole volume were Birdway and Beetle 05, they just sort-of 'clicked' with me. Birdway with her reaching where she is with hard work, and the Beetle having its existential crisis.

Spoilers

Spoiler for NT6 spoilers

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

Glad to see these original spoilers from before were true in the end; not that I didn't read it when it was first posted.
It's funny to see the skepticism turned out to unnecessary, but it was well deserved at the time.

Have Full-Tuning appear yet? if not then I think she perfect clone of Misaka.

I heavily doubt she'd be a perfect copy.
The previous 20000 Radio Noise clones plus the Misaka Worst aren't on her level.

[mike211]

yeah but Full-Tuning number is 00000 and i read from some where that she isn't part of level 6 shift clones but some thing different.
I for one would like to see her as a perfect clone of Misaka with lvl 5 Electromaster and that she would fight against Misaka Mikoto for Touma affection.

I'm not exactly a big fan of the clones- any of them. It's fine when they're in the scene for comedy purposes but for everything, especially romance... >_>

I think there are other more interesting characters to give that a shot- one Misaka is enough for Kamijou.

There is never enough Misaka for Kamijou.

I would prioritized the rest of them behind the likes of Maria, Misaki, Orsola and even Fukiyose (who I'm conflicted about)

Now now let's not go around arranging marriages for the young'uns.

Mah~ if I were to be super serious, the only one I'm supporting from NT so far is Maria until they deny her application

I'm okay with Misaki, but Im waiting for more from railgun first before deciding anything
