On Tsukihime it looked like a preview of the original Tsukihime concept, Kara no Kyoukai.


Where Shiki is a girl.

Same powers as Shiki Tohno.
Kara's Shiki is prob more powerul than Tsukihime's Shiki. Also Kara no Kyoukai is a series of 7 theatrical features. #6 is due out on 12/20.

Something I'm really digging about this series is there are multiple "political" factions that overlap in Touma's life but otherwise have nothing to do with one another. They might have larger scale dealings but they don't interact with one another on Touma's level - that is, he's not their focus, he's not pivotal to their overall objectives.

The sense of, "the protagonist is important in his own story, but his story is one of many going on in this world" is a sense of realism I enjoy reading. Like how the original Starcraft was - there wasn't one pivotal individual who made things possible, every individual, organization and the values/actions of both were equally important for shaping the world.

Good episode.

Accelerator is perhaps the strongest but also a sociopath.

The perfect candidate for Madmen doing terrible deeds for science.

Around the level. But among the level 5s, they have ranks too.
No, Touma is just some weak idiot who sticks his head where it doesn't belong. His hand is the only worthwhile, and even then, it is hardly "more powerful" than the level 5s, because it doesn't do anything but negate attacks. And only attacks at the hand.

Which obviously doesn't matter to this thread.

But think about it: The power to negate God's power! Luck, blessing, protection, magic, psychic all are negated! An item travelling at 1000kmps due to any supernatural power that hits his right hand will stop dead... As seen with Mikoto's railgun demo...

What makes Touma dangerous isn't his hand alone, but his cunning + the hand. It's just a weapon, he needs the drive to make good use of it.

I'm curious about its abilities though, it seems really bizarre and unlike other esper powers. Is he even an esper? If one cuts off the hand does that mean he could use magic?

We don't know the mechanics of Imagine Breaker other than his right hand.

Due to it scanning equipment can't grade him, he is Level 0 by default.

unless the scanning equipment is supernatural in nature, it shouldn't be affected by his right hand

meaning his power is not psychic in nature, but something else
...maybe

He technically isn't considered an esper because his hand is unknown (not magic nor psychic), but he has taken power development, so he couldn't use magic regardless. Apparently, his hand is preventing him from being able to gain any psychic powers though. So if he cuts off his hand, he might be able to use some power.
...Well, *cough*, it doesn't really matter since volume 2 showed people using magic regardless of being espers...

But that's the thing. His hand is purely negation/defensive. And what's more, all of his opponents so far are conveniently weak against the hand.
Shoot a normal bullet. Fight against a macho man. His hand can't do a thing. Cut off his arm, game over. Hit anywhere but the hand, game over.
Mikoto, Accelerator, heck, even Kuroko... Their powers are much more flexible and useful.

Actually to defeat him is easy. Just have to attack him from 2 side at the same time. 1 hand can't be in two place at the same time.

You can step back, let the two attacks collide and slap it with the right. Instant kill!

I think Touma actions and interference in world Espers and Magicians would categorize him as "Wild Card"

Touma lack offensive abilities, but has a couple of thing that are in his favor
1 his "imagine breaker"
2 able to think the situation he's facing in . so he can smartly use the situation to his advantage
3 His growing collection of amazing girls that has feeling or sympathy for him ( Damn you Touma and you call yourself Unlucky!!!! Lucky bastard !!)

They didn't use magic, magic used them, right?

So as I sort-of quote...


I am the clone of my biribiri.
Many are my body, and electricity is my blood.
I have been created over ten thousand times.
Unaware of loss.
Nor aware of gain.
Withstood death to advance science.
Waiting for level six's arrival.
"I have no regrets, this is the only path," MISAKA defends.
My whole life was "Unlimited Sister Works."


Numbers are numbers, but has it really been that many up to this point? Even 10 000 is a crazy amount; 1 clone/day = 37 years, 2 clones/day = 14 years, 3 clones/day = 9 years... That's a high production output to make this reasonable, and this level of Science! can't be easy...

Always nice to be reminded that TD bit the dust. Suck it, biri biri-killing satellite.

Yeah, I hope Touma gets a power up because Imagine Breaker seems kinda lame... Especially when all the villains are so... godly.

People seriously need to learn what filler actually means before they go and throw the word around. This is a set-up episode, not filler at all.
