9/10, Kuroko's character finally done justice (they really should have swapped this with ep 2).
As far as "the real police", unless I'm missing something there is no such thing in Index-world. There's Judgement (police-equiv) and Anti-Skill (SWAT-equiv). It makes sense that students would be employed because only students have abilities, the folk older than college-age are generally researchers / instructors with no powers, since they never took the treatment. As far as nitpicking Kuroko's tactical decisions, as a 10 year old would you have done any better? Not every anime character is a perfect strategist that can come up with flawless attack plans at the drop of a hat... |

About this whole Kuroko/tactical-less thing, I'd have to say we're getting a tad too involved in picking that scene apart. It's fictionated television entertainment production with superhuman powers and Esper abilities; sure we expect them to (and they should) execute intelligent human behavior and such since they portray human beings, but aren't we delving a little deep here?

Watch it yesterday. It was a fairly good episode, but personally I think the anime makes Kuroko into a more "flawed" character than the one in the manga, since Kuroko is repeating the same mistake twice, especially when she is now a qualified "Judgement" member; she hasn't learned her lesson from the past.

Mikoto being the exact opposite. It does make me wonder what sort of cardboard speech Touma would spew in front Kuroko given her attitude. What if it was a certain spike hair financially poor level 0 student that saved her instead of Mikoto? Oh the other hand thinking about it , it is best Kuroko is not among Touma's harem. The closest those two have ever been was when they were almost caught by the dorm supervisor. Broken necks or perhaps worse would have happened. |

And I think (if anoyne saw it) I gave a good explanation as to why Kuroko didn't teleport the bad guy out of there even if she wanted to. |

For example: Kyou obviously knows Tomoya and Youhei in Clannad before because they are on first name terms. However, all throughout Clannad and After Story I wanted to know more about it, and not until episode 23 or 23 of After Story did they reveal the past. For me, this is an unnecessarily long wait. In contrast, episode 6 of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha is an excellent example of delaying information to bring it back later at a more suitable time. We certainly didn't need to know how Nanoha, Suzuka, and Alisa met until episode 6, where it made its impact by setting the tone for the rest of the show and clarifying Nanoha's decision on how she must deal with Fate. Oh, and I'm not disagreeing with you or anything. I think you brought up a good point that I wanted to go off-topic with.

Ok as for the tactics, I feel they matched her brash personality, if she instantly came up with tactics that vwould put Gen. MacArthur to shame, THAT'S a serious storyline flaw imo.
As regards not knowing how two recognize each other, it did bother me for the past couple episodes,so its nice to tie that up, even tho I don't think it's plothole per se.

A] because how is she going to beat him up if she does that.
and B] He may be over her mass limit. No. It is a little disappointing that we got the new framing story rather than the training montage or Kuroko apologizing or Saten talking Uiharu out of her crepe. Or the implication that Saten suggested Uiharu try to join judgement. Quote:
The being unable to teleport just bits of people is Touma's theory as to why she can't teleport him out of the dorm IIRC. Which is why Kuroko has to keep writing apologies. She regularly pushes being in Judgement to mean rather more than it usually does. There are the Police robots [Police] and the Hound Dogs [SWAT/Special Forces] as well. Judgement are in theory more like prefects and Anti-skills are unpaid volunteers [Special Constables]. |

And because it's fun I'll say why Kuroko didn't teleport the bad guy outside again~
It's because she couldn't. She has to touch a person to teleport him. She couldn't get up and reach his hand or face and he was wearing throusers so she could only teleprot those. Yes that would have put him in a situation but not a dangerous one . The next best thing is to make sure the hostages are safe - in this case Uiharu was the one in the most dangerous situation and Kuroko could teleport her out since she was wearing a skirt and her legs could be touched directly. So there you have it |

as others have stated before, the most likely reason she didnt teleport the guy was because of the mass restriction on her ability and she's still in elementary school so she might not even be level 3
in any case she could have also teleported herself to the robber, touched the gun and teleported that outside, problem solved |

Every time we see her use her ability you could notice she touches the object she needs to teleport. She doesn't need to grab it or something just touch it. This is why I think that the whole "teleporting the bad guy out" situation could be explained in the most natural way from what we know about Kuroko's ability. Anyways I already said it was up to the author/director to decide how to develop a scene and we shouldn't think of the other possibilities to resolve it since they weren't used and that would be just guessing. |
