If she use that, people will know that she is the 'culprit' who destroyed the satellite.

St. George's Sanctuary was destroyed by Touma I thought.

You're thinking of the auto-defense program she was booby trapped with, "Pen's mode" or whatever. Sanctuary is a spell and could be recast.

And if that happens, just remember that line about power and corruption. "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Not 'potentially' she would be the most powerful mage in existence. That's why the Church is being pretty nervous right now.

And yes, power corrupts, but Main Characters have a tendency to be immune for that sort of corruption.

He has arguably the strongest power in the universe, one that so far has consistently defeated enemies that were supposed to be way above his powerlevel.

I'd say Touma is strong all right.

Johann's Pen... But I was certain it was also referred to as the Necklace.

You kidding?

"Oi Index! What did I say about bring home stray animals

!!!"

*Index activates St. George's Sanctuary and begins running from Touma*

There were... Exceptional cases before...

Since when was Index a main character?

Keroko · 2009-03-17, 10:29

Useless she may be, Index is still one of the main characters of this show.

-Sho- · 2009-03-17, 13:30

Just watch this episode :

Finally we saw some Index's power (even though its not the magics ) instead of Touma who just with his right hand pawn all magicians .
One more girl for his harem .

1 episode left and it'll be not surprising for a second season .
Well for me this anime is average , the enemies are very easy , not very entertaining as SnS , hmmm the story is weird ...
The good : The graphic design , some characters , some humors and some actions .

Blademun · 2009-03-18, 01:12

I like it too, for some reason. I like magic, and magic oriented anime that aren't horrible are rare. So I take what I can get, haha.

I like the characters, especially Biri Biri and Index. Touma is ok too considering how lame he could be as a male lead to a harem. Artwork is good, especially some of the character designs. The music is awesome, some of the best techno I've heard this year so far. JC Staff seems like they have decent taste in music, at least.

The pacing and storyline are strained to say the least. A lot of amorphous concepts like the magicians and espers and churchs and shadowy organizations. A good way to create a deep and involving setting is to go step by step, with a arc clearly detailing a great deal about one faction then moving to another.

Yet their sense in SE seems to be the exact opposite...

(*points to the level-up music during Kuukigami's arc)

Eisdrache · 2009-03-18, 08:58

I have no doubts that the last attack by that golem will be blocked by someone. If that someone is Touma then %^$@!#)^$%)#$@^@(, if that someone is Kazakiri then this episode is instant win.

-Sho- · 2009-03-18, 11:25

No it will be Kazakiri , you can see her in the preview .

No... she's hardly even a main heroine

VRMN · 2009-03-18, 14:04

Index is the title character and by default is the female lead, with her playing (like it or not) more of a role than any character save for Touma. She doesn't play the same kind of role as a Mikoto, but she's still part of the central cast.

Touma is the main character. Index is the female lead, despite her being in the background more often than not. She's the catalyst for Touma's life getting mixed up with all these magicians, after all. Everyone else is secondary and changes their level of importance from arc to arc, with Mikoto being the most prominent of these (and even she only plays a prominent role in one arc to date, plus the one shot and [sorta] this last arc).

Yes, which is why I didn't end with that.
