There you have, the first 4 level 5's are no longer and the only one who is known by us to be a good guy is Gunha Sogiita the others like the Queen in Tokiwadai and Mr. 6 are not reliable byt the time being.

I'm still think Aogami pierce is number 6. Aside from Gunha, I think Aogami is still a good guy, just a complete pervert.

Hopefully the Delta Force Trio meet up together and kick some ass.

But yea, seems like most of the level 5's are going to turn against AC. I can definetly see Gunha going against AC considering he's such a nice guy, and would no doubt be against crowley's plans if he found out about them.

Going against Academy City, or going against the Board of Directors? Either way, even assuming that they can remove or kill every single one of them, what would happen? They can't just leave Academy City without leaders, the whole place would fall apart and they would have ruined the lives of 2 million people. Fact is, Academy City can stand on top of the world because of their ruthless methods, if they lose that, it's not just the magic side, but every other Nation in the World would be sending in their Military to plunder the City for it's technology and money.

[Flere821]

Even if the Board of Directors are taken down, as long as Aleister is alive any of the 12 can be replaced. He said that back in Vol12 epilogue IIRC.

And Vol5 did go over what would happen theoretically (in Ch1 I think) if AC falls apart.

Yeah I included Aleister Crowley as one of the Directors... In the event that they somehow manage to pull it off.

Do tell, I'm predicting an "X-Men" Esper-hunt scenario.

[Flere821]

I never did watch X-men ... but basically this is what Vol5 Ch3 said, if Amai's virus succeeded in activating and the 9000+ clones went on a rampage to kill all humans:

The various researchers might disband and ally with various nations of the world, or AC would stop the city falling apart first by declaring war against the world first and invade the entire world using their advanced technology and esper abilities.
Either way, the resulting power imbalance would snowball and lead to a worldwide war.

Basically, it was just a small description of a few paragraph or so, nothing too concrete

Vol13 epilogue did mention there would be nowhere left to go for espers if AC falls though, from what Etzali told Accelerator.

Oh, didn't realize this wasn't posted on here yet.

Interview with Index director. He says "there will be a surprise at the end Index II, see we should look forward to it". Posting in LN thread for deeper speculation. Railgun II announcement or Index SS OVA announcement? Personally, I'm thinking it's the latter since I believe Shana III is airing this fall and I can't see Shana and Railgun running concurrently. You would also expect the surprise to be Index-related since the Index director said it. Of course, it oculd be neither.

Some ideas goes trough my mind:

1. They will take a break after 24 only to show us the third season!!! with the others 2 members of God's Right Seat!

2. SS1 OVA's which implies the introduction of Shiage Hamazura.

3. Railgun OVA's adapting Sisters Arc version from Railgun manga.

4. Fiamma and/or Kakine's cameos(?)!!!

Hoping for EVERYTHING except for no. 3, would it hurt? :3

[Zakoo]

I think the sister arc from kagaku no railgun is really good. I prefer it than the one from Index.

a third season 12 eps long?

Acording to their webpage http://www.jcstaff.co.jp/ , they are currently airing 4 shows, so they probably don't have any problems with concurrent shows. Meaning that Index 3 + Shana 3 is possible. Another possiblility is another Railgun ova, either similar to the one already aired or sisters arc or even liber arts city arc (but i give this low chances). Index ova is more plausible, most likely the ss1 animated.

I personally want to see Accelerator vs Mikoto animated, but that's about it.

I'm not talking about their capabilities. Index/Railgun and Shana have a lot of companies overlap on their committees. It's not smart to put all your eggs in the same basket. I'd imagine they also have a lot of overlap in BD/DVD purchasing demographics.

That wont be long at all. Literally a minute. Not OVA worthy.

That wouldn't make sense, jumping from Vol.13 straight to 21-22.

it dont have to make sense.....just let me dream!

[SuzushinaYuriko]

I also want a movie of the awesome Russia arc, but that'll have to wait until after a possible third season.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Railgun second season revelation at the last episode like there was in the first season. However, I don't think there's enough material to spawn an entire 24 episode series with the amount of manga chapters there are right now, so they might have to resort to using fillers again.

I'd like the announcement to be an Index OVA adaptation of SS1 since I'd like to see exactly how GROUP formed.

A cameo of Kakine or Fiamma would be nice as well.

[zeniselv]

well a berserk movie and a russia arc movie in a year would be too much awesomeness to be true, beign more realistic maybe theyre going for a 3rd season in the fall a 2 cour break seems to be getting popular,after all railgun isnt advancing the story fast enough, it would hardly make 5 episodes.

There wasn't in the first season, they just put filler for the proceeding 12 episodes. By the time Railgun II airs the SISTERs arc should be long over, so they'll just make the SISTERs arc the first 12 eps and the latter 12 filler, like the first season. No way they're not going to make a Railgun II when the BD/DVD sales were unbelievably high.
