Creating a powersuit that makes use of his powers shouldn't be hard.

Or wait, looking at the wiki, they weren't just masks, they were whole powersuits.

So yea, having a darkmatter version of the railgun powersuit shouldn't be that hard to make.

It is thinking for itself. U can't "use" someone without them doing what they are told. No one can use their powers without there personal reality. How they perceive this is in their mind.

Like a Railgun.

It's a function from their power that they can replicate, it might not allow to to create plasma afrom wind at will, but it's still a valuable 'technology' to acquire. Just like how the Electric Transmission which led to the Network is in some ways more valuble than her Railgun powers.

Where are you getting this from?

For all intends and purposes, Kakine's brain could be producing Dark Matter no different from a normal Brain producing hormones naturally. There's nothing to suggest that Personal Reality is limited to the conscious mind, otherwise Accelerator's reflect wouldn't protect himself in his sleep.

Idk. Spouting nonsense. But it doesn't change the fact that thats kakine making the suits

Yay for Kakine, the world's most powerful cabbage in the to aru verse.

Forget picking the fight, he would have survived if he could have hold his temper. He got so pissed at Yomikawa trying to save Accelerator from the dark side that he literally provoked him into killing him... that was practically a suicide.

It might have been "Iyya" or however you spell it. But due to the strenuous overload from the [Kamijou Virus] being uploaded onto the Mikoto Network, her computational process and speech pattern have been greatly crippled.


You know when I read that part, I was remind of the Tower scene in Hayate no Gotoku, and that Mikoto is alot like Hinagiku. When the two of blur out their innermost feelings in the heat of the moment, and subsequent fretting over the fallout from that mess... Makes my decision to write that certain fanfic to feel more and more justified.

[Hell_ping]

S.O.S. to all personnel on the wikia. Name for Hamazura should be 'Hamadura'.

[Marcus H.]

Hamazura's fine. It's more of romanization convention than Word of God.

[Hell_ping]

No, more like the text gave it as (HAMADURA), I can't just give an excuse and cheat my way out of this.

[Marcus H.]

Give me the exact line and I'll make my decision.
As far as I know, はまづら is both Hamazura and Hamadura. Pretty much the same reason why some Japanese romanize りつ as Ritu.

I'm guessing he means the "世紀末帝王HAMADURA" part. That's exactly how it is in the text.

The original used "Funya" ( ふにゃ ), as far as I figured it was only a cutesy sound made out of embarrassment... "funyafunya" is actually a "word", but it also addresses mumbling.

I loved that part "ふにゃァァあああ じゃねェェえええ"-----

The Jwiki article got conveniently updated, and according to it Shinnyusei ( 新入生 ) is actually the name of an organization... Go figure. Atwiki also points this fact.

I strongly advise to wait after Shiage has his animated appearance in this season before editing anything. The proper pronunciation of his name on screen should easily clear any doubts about Hamadura being a just typo or the proper way to call his name.


edit 2 :

Baka tsuki has started work on Chapter 1 of New Testament.

If they can use that, then I don't see why they couldn't mimic Kakine's power with a powersuit.

They could at least copy Mugino's power couldn't they?

Kakine produces matter, from which AC was able to make powersuits

Mugino's power works by stripping down electrons from atoms, gathering and accelerating them: it's a particle beam weapon, pretty much. AC's technology is 30 years ahead the rest of the word, so they may be able to make particle beam weapons, but humans-sized ones? i don't think so...

and they're not copying Mikoto's power with the railgun, they're making actual railguns....

[Karna]

Can anyone answer these questions?

I need the info for a wiki.

You might have to wait a long time though... But I can tell you with no amount of confidence that the rate of fire for the Gatling Railguns might be 4000 rounds per minute.

Spoiler:

[Mr.Kyon]

So Rikou has some motherly qualities...huh.

Also, quick poll:

Who will bleed the most during their first time, Rikou or Shiage?

Oh crap, wait Ping, don't make the wikia users to edit it yet.
Even trying some online translators it gives a Hamadzura, lets just wait the remaining 2 episodes to hear the pronunciation.

Then Index reached over to the basket on top of the kotatsu and pulled out a bag of kaki peanuts looking half-asleep all the while. She opened the clear bag and…
“Here, this is your share, Touma.”
“…!?”
It was a miracle.
That girl who could not even make instant ramen (because she couldn’t wait 3 whole minutes when there was food before her eyes) had passed food in her hand to him!!

Touma, bakayarou!
Miracles can happen even with you.


BTW, part 5 got updated:

"du" and "zu" should be pronounced the same way. Read up on Nihon-shiki Romanization.
