Oh god, THIS. At one point in a previous episode, Tsuchimikado was writhing in pain on the floor, yet Touma just stood there doing nothing but lecture the villain for about five minutes. What is wrong with that kid? It's fine to preach, but not when your friends and the whole city are in danger. Render the villain harmless first, preach later. Even Naruto's got that kind of common sense.

They're the kinda jerks who asks a five year old little girl "have you ever lied", and when she innocently answer "yes" they SCREAM AT THE FIVE YEAR OLD CHILD "YOU"RE GOING TO HELL!!" Not caring that their sreams of hate would do more to traumatize an innocent child than to save her soul. Perceived results is what a Protestant cares about, not the methods nor what they actually lead to.

I'm starting to get there is something seriously wrong with you when something is related to religion if you didn't noticed yet, she gives a damn about the religion and the peace, she isn't a religious but a machinator afterall she is the one who made a nightmare of Index, Styil, Kaori and Aureolus's lives. Maybe the anime omitted this line but Stiyl describes her: Quote:

Hell if you think about it, Laura is not even that fanatical about religion. She's more of a politician...

the usual routine to end the fight, Oriana looks like an experience fighter, but she went down after the second Touma Tyson Punch? but since this happens everytime, we can assume Touma's body is much tougher than other humans, no big deal
the way the ceremonial failed is unbelieveble, that sister Lidvia must be very lazy to even do simple research or planning somehow the plane scene is the most interesting part of the whole arc, apart form Oriana's teasing dialogs... |

@Wilfriback
I was merely quoting from a horrific event that I personally witnessed on a Sunday afternoon. The poor little kid was crying and screaming, TEARS and all, and all he kept on shouting was "repent, and Jesus shall save your soul from eternal damnation" while waving the weapon that he called a Holy Bible at what a saner person would realize is an innocent toddler. But on a side tangent: Does anyone else suspect that the author of this franchise is an (very well read and researched) agnostic/athiest (or at least, Buddhist/Shintoist) who also has a low opinion of the Judeo Christian faith?

Mmm... I guess you at least stopped him/them instead standing there in the crowd while staring how he/they keeps bothering the little girl, right? If not, there is no difference between someone who acts and someone who allows the act. Check the first chapter of the vol. 11 if you want to get an idea of the author through Orsola's character. |

Even as a girl did so in the same situation intelligent persuasion without using force and causing a scandal. Believe me, their will sinks down when they're facing the scandal.
Try Baka-Tsuki that volume is already translated by Teh Ping. |

I expected a lot more from the episode, but its problems pale before how terrible this arc was, and quite honestly the only positive thing remaining in this show is the fan-service (Seiri/Oriana) ... and Himegami
In short, what happened during these couple of months was a bunch of guys were looking for a sword, which was a cross, which turned to be person carrying, only she didn't, and then find a place, where they have an epic battle, to utterly fail, but be saved by coincidental fireworks Give a fucking break |

The more I think about it the more it seems the fireworks couldn't have been coincidental. Would Crowley really allow something that dangerous to come that close to ruining his setup without an ace in the hole? The city scheduled the fireworks for the precise optimal moment for the cross to activate, so there was never any risk.
As for the purpose of the arc: Yes Oriana was the decoy for Touma and co, but its probable that Team Touma was intended to serve as the decoy for Lidvia, while improving his combat skills (and preaching). If they went about their business unchallenged they would have thought something was up and perhaps realized the fireworks plan. And Styl's injuries... the city doc has fixed far worse. Perhaps Touma feels his preaching is valuable in that it would have the effect of preventing the same from happening to others. Styl had just pissed him off too, so something that takes him out of battle temporarily would be nice. I do agree several of his speeches in this arc were badly timed and seemed like they should have been 'argue while fighting' speeches but, meh. That's To Aru Majutsu no Index for ya. |

That's an interestings way to look at things- The super-best-friends as decoys/distraction themselves... So was the fireoworks a coincident? Or could Crowley actually manage to alter it's timing after he heard about the cross from Tsuchimikado or even Laura? Remember that initially none of them knew what the artifact really was or how it was activated until the last hour.

I give it a 9.
Touma x Stiyl attack Oriana was a lol. But two punches against one was awesome. However, Stiyl tripped and fell on the floor was an EPIC FAIL! xD Another awesome part is that Touma punched Oriana hard in face in an epic angle with a scary feeling when an airplane fly above him. In this arc, yeah, both Oriana and Lidvia were well-planned and well-prepared. No wonder it made an entire situation became problematic throughout this arc. With such a twist. Also, a part when Touma was panic in a short period of time while checking his cell phone before Lidvia's plan come true, it scared me. But, when a fireworks fired into the skies of Academy City, it was unexpectedly surprised. Dang, this part was very well done. Haha. Looks like she has fell for it. Seems like she made an attempt was well-planned, yet in a wrong time. xD Well, since Oriana was abandoned by Lidvia, she has to join and work for the Necessarius. +1 new member for Necessarius~! |

BTW, when this so-so arc started I was like: But then, when it finally ended... I put my rapist/psycho face waiting for the next arc. Last edited by Miraluka; 2011-01-10 at 00:19. |
