Well, as far I know, Kuroko has at her disposal some teleportation-based "weaponry" she hasn't tapped, like the instantaneous removal of a sizable column of air -- which rushes in to fill the "void" pretty loudly (can you say thunderclap?) Depending how much volume she could move, such can at least stun nearby adversaries, and maybe even produce the explosive impact of a grenade. (this should naturally happen anyway when her bod's air displacement pops out -- at least make a bang -- a series oversight). If she did this with (subsurface) water it'd be even more striking, like a swooshing fountain and a subsurface shockwave. Underwater, she could sink submarines and battleships like that, like how torpedoes create imploding voids under a ship's hull. Trick is the volume size she could teleport. Haven't done the math yet, but in open air she should also generate enough electric potential to create mean "sparks" of her own -- after she's left the scene. Of course (haven't kept up the series) she should've found that her powers give her a ability of staggered limited "mid-air bounce flight" -- depending how fast her powers regenerate.
I THINK Kuroko's power's quasi-transdimensional roots even make her a good candidate as a slider under the right bad short-circuiting accident during teleport, or she can also vibrate out a limited transit field as a thin "force field" barrier that'd slide projectiles around her (to shy missiles without going anyplace for example) -- if her regeneration time was fast enough. The thing about Kuroko's power to teleport self and volumes containing anything almost anywhere lethally nearby makes her far more deadly then the series envisions. If we're talking pure combat formidablity only, she'd be close a level six with gloves pulled. I think if gov't militrary labs had a wish-list of ideal weapon-powers, I think they'd pick Kuroko's over Misaka. |

There is no evidence implying that Kuroko can teleport unbound non solids. In fact, it would make sense for those to make her calculations extremely difficult because of the fluid behaviour and the natural lack of perceptible boundries. I doubt that she, at her current level, has this possibility at her disposal.
Also, . The theoretical level 6 seems to be far too reality challenging to be compared with Kuroko's power. I do agree that her power is still more lethal than Mikoto's. If she was a psycho, she would be a fearsome menace. This is pure speculation, but I would expect her to be able to produce that "teleportation field" only after reaching level 5, being conceptually similar to Accelerator's auto reflection. I doubt she will reach level 5 though, Awaki still has better chances of accomplishing that and probably not even she will achieve it in the course of the story. |

I don't know whether Kuroko actually teleports a physical target by projected "contact", or "wraps" it within a spherical field in teleport; if there's a case of her teleporting several people or creatures at one time the spherical concept is likely and humane, since they wouldn't be teleporting in the exact space occupied by atmosphere molecules after "transport" (instantly lethal.) A sphere force "cocoon" would push out or "blow away" all those during creation. The "calculations" of transitioning several discrete objects at once would be staggering, especially on the fly. The "easier" spherical field concept would mean she could teleport anything wrapped within it, regardless its state of matter. (Don't know if there are accounts of her teleporting a fiery flame or smoke or gases -- that'd cinch the spherical field concept...) One cool ability I think she'd have is ripped from a Star Trek episode about a living cloud that eats blood iron and can't be killed by weapons because it can rapidly "de-synk" in and out of our dimensional continuum. Since Kuruko's powers are trans/interdimensional by nature, she might be capable of this -- IF she can "recycle" her powers fast enough, but she might be too mortal or immature to tackle this. If she could, she might be able to walk through a fire or explosion short a nuclear detention. It'd be cool if the academy studied exactly what's "within" this inter-dimensional teleport realm Kuroku flickers in and out of to get around! Quote:

Kuroko needs physical contact to teleport one. That's why her limit to teleport a human being is 2.
Kuroko doesn't really need to see where she wants to teleport the thing she wanted to teleport. She only need to know the place. The things there, the visual image of it, the distance and height of it. Basically information that she needed for calculation of teleportation. Awaki isn't restricted to physical contact and can teleport in huge masses. The way teleporter uses their ability is like. Coating the object with their AIM and sending it through 11th dimension and forcing its being back into this dimension. And for all instance. For the time being. All of the things shown that has been teleported are solid matter. Has fixed mass, shape or volume or just plain fixed. Probably teleporting gas or liquid would be hard because the molecules aren't fixed in place. It would probably possible if its in a container. Accelerator can rape a teleporter. In his pass, he had a battle with teleporter. Ones the object is entering this dimension. The reflect of Accelerator kicks in and its good as sending it back to 11th dimension.

Adding to what tsunade666 said, Kuroko's ability teleports the exact target body. There's no need for a "protective cocoon" as everything teleported automatically displaces whatever is occupying the destination space. That's what she explained when she used glass to break concrete columns.

The biggest question is still how it works though. There is a fanfiction that says that she can actually shift an objects existence from one place to another by twisting the dimensional grid itself or something. I could probably find it.
I'm not sure what this would mean other than it would allow her to defeat accelerator who can otherwise, i think, deflect teleportation vectors. oh and as for the whole thing about "knowing the place". That is incorrect. Since she bases it off of calculus all she needs to know would be the co-ordinates and since she is the origin that basically means the distance away the target is from her. |

she need to know the place if she is teleporting organic beings. It ifs a non-living being then sending it away is fine but she still need to know the place for precision because just knowing the coordinate won't be enough. She at least need to know what's present there to have a precise calculation or else she is going blind there.

but ending up stuck in the wall is not fine.
Look at what happen to Awaki. That's why she didn't become a level 5 because of her mental trauma of being stuck in a wall. And your lucky if the wall is solid, but what if you ended up stuck in a foundation of a wall or a structure where the place you teleported in isn't solid. It will collapse on you.

If its just blind teleportation or desperate teleportation then its possible. Any teleporter can do it. But that's dangerous. Awaki can also teleport fast but rapid continues teleportation isn't her forte. Awaki would just teleport the whole block than teleport bit by bit.

There's one thing I don't get; are Kuroko and her schoolgirl crush antics so popular that Satomi Arai had to hide the existence of her heterosexual marriage and her child for so long? Kuroko Shirai is by no means Satomi Arai's only role, and I doubt that she's so famous that otaku had become irrationally invested in her "purity."
If anything I would think that it would be Rina Satou, Mikoto's VA, who would attract this kind of attention, since she's one of the main characters for TAMNI. |

We know it's has a single step more than Kuroko, but it's nothing 'far more difficult' and easily compensated by saying she's smarter than Kuroko.

But that is not the reason I say that Awaki's teleportation isn't teleportation. It's because in novel 8 the thing she attempted to "teleport" took long enough to get there that Touma had time to come out of nowhere and stop it. Teleportation is instantaneous movement or it's not teleportation. |

Realize that 'instantaneous' is nothing but an illusion- Light would seem to be instantaneous because of it's speed, but like anything else it takes time to travel from point A to point B.

Technically, the mass hadn't moved when Touma got there, it was the space what was bending in preparation for the "instant movement".
... obvious cop out device, but that's how it went. Although personally, I disagree that teleportation has to be instantaneous. For me it's more about bypassing distance... It can be for example moving something through an extradimensional portal. Last edited by leukrota; 2013-03-30 at 18:12. Reason: better wording |
