Be prudent, there was a time certain uknown sers added every single line they thought it could be added, and then... we have a lot of Touma lines...

Knight Leader is secretly a pervert.....well I guess one has to be different to be the no magic weapons user in the world.... I mean just look at his last scene with William before the latter left

2) Other than that though, they haven't been really properly introduced into the To Aru-verse proper. But I don't see why you wouldn't be able to write that fanfic, it sounds like something that would fit

1) I'll check about it later in baka-tsuki.

About the infos, apparently it was my friend's personal hypothesis, but he himself has forgotten about his own reasoning for it

2) Indeed it would. Can't left a religion with more than 1 billion adherers alone while Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism have been all thoroughly exploited

Potentially so. But then again, Islam also has this concept of "power that God permits", ruqyah. And there are also differing definitions of the word sihr among muslims, too.

2) Perhaps, the author has some other plans for introducing the Islamic sect, they were briefly mentioned in volume 11 by Biaggio I think. He only mentioned that their numbers were steadily increasing, but there wasn't any mention whether they were magic users or not. The author could very well not mention Islam at all.

1) Christianity also forbids it.

Also, there is Sufism in Islam, which is indeed Islamic mysticism. Sounds like a gold mine of many magical traditions for me

However, there is also Salafism, that is the school of anti-mysticism and speculative theology, the ultra-Orthodox. Wahabism is a brand of Salafism. And there happens to be this certain Wahabi country in our world's Middle East which does seem rich enough if it is to invest a load in scientific ESP development program...

2) Somehow I rather not having the author introducing Islam in canon. Not only I have my own personal reasons but I'm rather skeptical about the author's depth of knowledge about Islam

Some say Angels are God's puppets, some say they have limited sentience and personal autonomy.

Alright, I'm back... and up to Ch3 pt7 of NT is out:

Spoiler for ITEM + Shiage:

Shiage hid Fremea and Hanzou in one of ITEM's safehouses, the 'single room salon' mentioned several times before.

For some reason, Fremea says 'nyaa' at the end of her sentences at times... (Motoharu, did you do this? >.>)

Rest of ITEM is looking for Shiage, and Mugino's artificial arm + eye has several functions, such as connecting her onto the internet and several vision filters/enhancements. Saiai said Mugino's yandere side is sreepy, to which Mugino replied (omniously) does Saiai want something thick shoved into her. Saiai replied she doesn't like stuff that's too thick and large, so she'll pass.
Rikou got the feeling that Shiage is messing around with another girl as if she can sense him with her AIM Stalker.

Shiage is keeping Fremea occupied while Hanzou goes out to find that ninja girl for more info. Fremea wants to play a console game called 'blood and carnage' while Shiage definitely don't want a young girl playng that.

That's why most of the Christian magic concepts here are actually Kabbalistic. Jewish mysticism solves that since Judaism and Christianity are so similar.

You must've missed out on this part...

Aogami: “Why is it always flat chests with you!? And you don’t really like bunnies at all! You’re just fine with anything loli!!”

Tsuchimikado: “That’s true, Aogami Pierce. Be it a bunny girl outfit, a gymnastics leotard, or a school swimsuit, when put on the wonder that is a loli, the small distinctions between outfits are moot. So my argument is that lolis look good in whatever they wear, so a loli bunny girl is the best bunny girl!!”

Kamijou: “You bastard!! So you really weren’t talking about bunny girls at all!!”

[Mr.Kyon]

Damn, now he's even more of a motherfucker...badass, but still.

lolz mikoto back to AC after WW3 ?

[I_am_Kami]

I think i kinda realize something.

So as the story goes on its seems that accelerator is accepting god more and more while touma is the one who hates or disagrees with god. You think this leads to something?

Also, i wish that haimura did concept arts on the robots.

-Anyone have scans of some of his pictures in the artbook?

-anyone got a summary of the love letter battle?

[Kenju of the Right]

Parts 2 - 3 of Chapter 3 out.

I think I might take back my last post, Shiage is actually very lucky that the pilot wasn't intentionally trying to kill them

I_am_Kami: Good point, how ironic

I think he said that he didn't like drawing mecha

I don't notice this at all, could you elaborate?

TO be honest it's quite disappointing, any one of us who had spent the last year here would have more images than his illustration book.

V.22 when he is praying, i heard something about him mentioning god in V.13 and V.15 or 19. Becoming a white angel.

Touma pre-memory loss and probably V.14 arguing with terra. Though touma himself possibly holding the Fallen angel himself.
