After reading the latest translation. For me it looks like the Author is stressing on the role of a hero.
From a villain, hero and a what...... partner of the hero? I can't pin point the place for hamazura. Maybe his just a sub character just like what he believe. Accelerator and Shiage are always pondering on their own problems while Touma just go with it and no questions ask. They clearly draw the line of an ideal hero. In the title for the chapter 4 on NT. Even if he does not become a hero - Knight. So Hamazurarara and Angelerator are the knights and Touma is still the hero because ultimately. his still the one who saves Fremea and Shiage from the final attack -_- I wonder when will those 2 guys be leveled up into Touma's level of being a hero.

Theories about that:
1. In ToAru Universe, power of the hero depends on the size of his harem. Since Touma's harem is OVER 9000!!!!, he will eternally be the main hero! 2. Touma just came to show everyone that he is alive, will break some bread and return to Heaven, leaving his apostles to inherit him Jokes aside, Touma doesn't steal as much spotlight as he did before and these two already do feel very much like protagonists IMO

yes, Indeed. Accelerator and Hamazura are protagonists too. That's why they are called the three heroes. But in the eye of the author. Accelerator and Hamazura are still going on and on about being a hero. Still had doubts and fear and still view Touma as a hero even though they themselves are also a hero.
Shiage and Accelerator should be more proud on the things they overcome and stop going on and on about the hero thing. In their own eyes they might be unworthy but to the people they protect they are already heroes. Quote:
Isn't that scene major stealing of spotlight. So when the author said that it's a world where their is no hero but in the end. The hero still saves the day.

But... For crying out loud, when is he going to explore the idea of being a HEROINE Despite out numbering the guys and in many cases, wield more firepower, the heroines have been severely under represented in Index aside from their story arc, and maybe 1 additional volume. Almost all of the real heavy lifting is being carried out by the three protagonists. I suspect Mugino would become another benchwarmer since she's a heroine now instead of a villainess. Yes, only bad girls get any action. Quote:

As for the heroine.... do we need them I'm fine with them being left in the damsel in distress part. Though I still like to see Silvia torment Olerus. Silvia should teach the little girl heroines on how to handle their guy.

In any case, I realized why Touma as the 'perfect hero' works because he's actually a weak person. Had he been a powerful character that only gets more stronger, then I would have a hard time accepting him as such. Quote:
As it stands, the real separation between Index and Railgun isn't magic and science, but Heroes and Heroines

Eiyuu? I haven't played much DOA except the on in the psp with the bikini and swimsuit stuff of DOA I wills search Eiyuu in the net to see ti for myself. Now the separating matters in index and railgun is the guys being Touma as their Idol. Even Styl has troubles too and feel happy that the perfect hero Touma still fail sometimes. While in the eyesight of Accelerator Touma is the ginga bishounen and as for Shiage. His the guy that correct him with a punch in the face Without Touma he probably wouldn't ended up with a girl. Even Quatzl is happy to see Touma protect the girl his dreaming to protect. Fiamma will be another one that will idolized Touma. And Aqua is bro with Touma As for the Railgun... well the girls..... heroine doing k-on stuff or I mean girl talk and ....well do more girl talk

Also, no one has mentioned that Touma doesn't think of himself as a hero, and has even said things like "I'll become a hero if needed" throughout the story, just like Shiage and Accelerator. Quote:
BTW, part 2 of chapter 5 of NT1 was uploaded in baka tsuki

And no guys, I don't mean he's being possessed by an evil force in the Universe. But by his own free will and as himself decide, if that's what it takes to save a girl (you KNOW it's always about a girl) he would go against the greater good.

What if he really starts to outcast himself this time around. This event though I'm not sure because it's a computer translated (let's wait for official translation) but he said he just comes back to end this war. To me. It looks like he doesn't even intend to come back at all. And what if. He ended up fighting the necesarius. As he stands now that the magic side is preparing to attack the academy city. I wonder where will kamijou touma stand in this war. Will he be playing a major role on it or will he be over shadowed by shiage and accelerator? And it looks like he also didn't meet up with any members of necesarius and index in the time his gone. I wonder whats his doing all those time. Even if it's a short time like a week or two. But many people cared for him and isn't it natural to stay in touch with them specially because they are worried. But he didn't do such thing.

This needs to be animated as an OVA or included in season 3 of the anime.
