Regarding Anna, here's my theory.
She's the reincarnation of Mary Magdalene (or maybe the Virgin Mary). 2000 years ago, she watched Jesus work himself to the bone and even sacrifice his life to save people, which is why she hates the idea of Touma or anyone running around saving people. When she reincarnated as Anna, she joined the Rosicrucians and mastered magic so she could teach it to other people and they could save themselves with it, so that one person wouldn't have to take up the burden. That's why she allowed Westcott to use the Rosicrucian name to start the Golden Dawn even if it was against the cabal's rules, because she knew that someone from there would create modern Western magic and the work kit to spread magic even further. But in the end, all the people she taught didn't learn what she was teaching them properly and only ended up using her name for their prestige, and the Golden cabal ended up breaking apart before completing their goal, so Anna lost faith in people understanding her.

Something I'm really curious is what is the deal with Aiwass. For one his appearance in the battlefield saved Mikoto and Misaki of what appeared to be certain death. The change is his appearance (btw, birdman Aiwass looks cooler to me) and the fact that he was uncomfortably silent the whole book. The dude is usually a chatterbox.
Another observation is that this volume confirms that Touma is a esper, whatever level actually is, because he actually suffer the effects of magic use. Actually we didn't where sure with the memory lost and that that Touma actually received whatever training or medication as the rest of the espers. So the question is if Touma is effectively a Lv 0 or how much of the strange stuff that he pull somethings are his true esper powers that are negated 24/7 by Imagine Breaker.

Hmm... I actually liked this volume. It had the Magic and Science sides both working together to try and deal with the threat from Anna by cooperating on a microscale: Two of the strongest Espers try to hold the line against Anna, Two of the most knowledgeable Magicians use their knowledge to help the victims, and Touma/St. Germain working together to punch her in the face.
Mind you, the Espers couldn't do jack all against Anna because power-scaling in this series leans heavily on the magic side and that's Touma's job.

I know they weren't around when Birdway was lecturing the others in New Testament 2, but didn't Misaka start fighting against Magic Gods after the High Priest called her out on being weak. I thought that might have been when Misaka would have learned something, but I overlooked a lot of things after Volume 11. If Othinius had gone with them they might have stood a chance then since she's similar to Index as a portable reference point.

Mikoto asked a lot of questions when she paired up with Birdway in Hawaii and against Othinus but like Accelerator she probably won't 'get it' until she has to try manipulating magic herself. And its a numbering reset too so like NT2 it needed an excuse to go over some of the basics again.
Speaking of resets I was a bit concerned for MisaMisa but thankfully the bee doesn't seem like she's going anywhere. |
