Nikolai Tolstoy is the only likely "death" on that raid, but even then I wouldn't count on it until I see the corpse, who knows? He might be kept as an interrogation pet for further purposes like Biagio was. I loved how Vasilissa was in danger of suffering severe blood loss when she saw live the Patriarch's facial expressions, while thinking that something like that shouldn't happen to her because of anyone but Sasha

Actually, the mortality rate of the series is pretty high for the nameless and faceless.
Named characters may get a free pass, but there's plenty of Hound Dogs, Russian Soldiers, Roman Knights, English Knights, Child Errors etc to make up for it. In that sense, I guess despite all the happy endings, Toaruverse is still a pretty dark world I guess?

Dear To aru fan: i have a couple of question if you guys/girls can answer it please
1. OK, back when NT2 was not out yet, i heard that there was a debut over the enemy organization name. GREMLIN ALL cool and all, but i heard someone say “CRIMSON” and that name look tight. Now was CRIMSON a false name? and wouldn’t you fan agree that CRIMSON would make a more cooler bad guy organization? 2. Regarding the Mars SS: i read the summary of it and was quite puzzle, is it just a cliff hanger ending or is there going to be a SS 2? 3. I don’t want to start a fanboy war or anything, but who believe that Touma is an fallen Angel or there an Angel inside him? it bug me that the author has so many foreshadowing methods that we want him to tell us already thank you Everyone |

Anyway, Annihilatus still has a job to do, no matter how many members left they have. So there's no reason for them to not send people if the need arises. |

Touma can't be a fallen angel for the simple fact that whatever is inside him is of the Age of Horus. As far as we know, all "divine beings" excluding Aleister and Aiwass (if you can call them that) are of the Age of Osiris.

But I disagree that it would be a better name, [Gremlin] is unique while [Crimson] has become far too generic. Plus the poetic meaning for that name... No cliff hanger, just an open ending.

Alright, since we're entering the mulky waters of speculations...

Is it too much of a stretch to think they're trying to crush all of the American's technological prowness? Or even more extreme- take over their ICBM capabilities and use it against them? Unlike the RCC, these guys aren't shy about using technology, as we saw with the giant balloons.

Nono I mean... RCC and GRS never include technology into their plans, they were restrictly about using their magic to defeat Academy City, but with the balloons of Radiosonde Castle, Gremlins doesn't have that restriction.
Remember how people said that Voldemort should have use nukes? Well I won't be surprise if Gremlin has that same idea in mind.

Woah the fanfare is getting really amusing.

Even this part was rather interesting Quote:
Plus isn't she trying to imply here, that Takitsubo is also a child error that went through those experiments? PS: You can really feel that the Fanfare was written by different autor. It's a nice refreshing change. |

^It was implied offhandedly in the Railgun Manga that Takitsubo had no place to be besides ITEM -- so yeah, probably she is. The best espers have tragic childhoods it seems.
Btw, what the hell does "Marmotte" mean? I'm French, and it's just an oversized squirrel. Sure it's translated right? And it seems Kihara Gensei disappeared mysteriously. Gee, I wonder who will troll Accelerator with the Kihara juniors during NT.

Well, every esper has at least a slightly twisted childhood.
Those parents do not know what they are putting their children into. Also, with the secrets of Academy City almost literally integrated into the bodies of every single student in Academy City (Yes, including Touma; remember how urgent Heaven Canceller's call was when he was admitted to an Italian hospital?), there's almost close to zero percent chance of an esper managing to return to his or her normal life.

The ones that get experimented on are the Child Errors, which are already abandon children that nobody misses and a very tiny group compared to 1.8 million students. And then a small group are like Touma who has no where else to go. Quote:
But... If they only wanted a normal life, they wouldn't be in Academy City in the first place. These children dream of super-powers, that's the only reason.

Unless the discovery of esper abilities was fairly recent like in the last decade or two, I can partially understand why there are so few adult espers. Another interesting question: When was Academy City first built? |

Again, no official date, but We know that AC had Espers twenty years ago due to that incident with Sherry Cromwell, but we don't know how powerful they were... Probably just Level 1-2s.... And it might even be an early stage so this technology isn't revealed to the public yet. So yeah, I can accept that powerful Espers like the Level 5s only appeared like half a decade ago (Accelerator), but eventually everybody grows up- and when that happens the population ratio of 80% students would change.
