Beating? Well, they had Kuroko beat up pretty bad before so I don't think it's that dark yet. Though it was still pretty dark with the sisters arc. Besides, Kongou getting beaten isn't really "Oh my goodness!" type of thing. Now if the 4 main girls were beaten to an inch of their lives than that would be shocking.

I mean severely and at around the same time. Only Kuroko has really suffered temendous physical damage compared to the others while Mikoto has the worst case of mind rape that she eventually got over.

^ then again you're avoiding the main topic, I never mentioned Miko-chin anywhere in my post. There's a reason why I avoided mentioning Saten as well. Because they are popular and people are more concerned about what happens to them.
See, did you felt anything special when Kuroko or Uiharu got beaten up? Did anyone ever made a fuss about it? I don't think so. Even if they are the main charas, those kind of things also depend of how much the viewers like them. If they don't like the main characters, then they won't care less about what happened to them. Do you think anyone would care if Hamazura (a main character) were to die? Of course not ... but if Acqua (which is just a support character mind you) were to bite the dust, what do you think would happen? Which one do you think would have the greatest effect.

Actually, looking back to the Railgun Anime episode 23, hardly anybody made a noise about Mikoto getting curbed stomped by Telestina, an Anime Original Character. Usually those are the type that would incur wraith...
I'm more convinced that the fans of Raildex are already used to seeing their characters get beat up all the time.

first the fans are used to it then second Kongou is being develop into a good character. She is being centered or shown in the last few chapters. It means she has the center stage. Just like how the 2 tokiwadai girls also shown up to help her. Those 2 are also being shown as the center of attention and no the other main 4 girls your mentioning. Right now they aren't the topic. Though if the center of attention gets beaten up then it would stir a reaction to the audience.

Not much to get worked up over, Mikoto recovered just fine and kicked tons of ass in the final episodes. Not like they outright had her tortured, she just got a little roughed up and it isn't anywhere near as bad as what she went through in the Sisters Arc. Nor do I believe their intention was to try and one up themselves in what she had went through during the Sisters Arc anyway.
Eh, her getting beaten doesn't have the impact as Mikoto or the other girls being beaten. Obviously she has more of an impact than a random girl but nowhere near that as Mikoto would have given. Quote:
Like Gin of Bleach. Ridiculously popular and a huge fan backing that was important to the plot. We all know how well the fanbase took what happened there. It wasn't pretty. While somewhat popular side characters like the Aeromancers(Or however you spell it) ended up suffering a similiar fate. People cared but it was nowhere near as much as they cared for Gin. Not to mention that as far as the series characters went they just got over it will Gin is still being felt in the Manga and by fans. |

Misuzu-san mom is just a side chara ... do you think it won't affect Miko-chin for the rest of her life if she were to die on her? And do you think someone who's eager to help her in exchange of nothing dying on her wouldn't affect her for the rest of her life when she's traumatized with the death of a single clone she just met?

Spoiler for huge spoil for amazing series:
I have another more concrete example, do you think Miko-chin was more pissed off when Kuroko was beaten up or when Kongo did? Quote:

It's my belief that compared to other characters, Kongou is more civilian-like, which is probably why her beating is a bit more "darker". It's not really an issue of how much support a character has, it's the inherent characteristic of the character that is a great influence.
