The way I see it Mikoto is reverting back to that lonely girl surrounded by thugs viewing other people as powerless and unwilling to save her. Then that "guy" appeared breaking her illusion just a bit.
Last season she improved with her friends getting involved. With this situation her friends can't help or be endangered. She wont drag them into this. |

Although the fight was a bit typical, I loved the emotion involved when Mikoto saw all those clones and the brilliant way in which the show has managed to humanise them and portray the utter tragedy of the situation they're in. I find it a bit strange that Mikoto still wants to pretend she doesn't think the clones are human to deal with her guilt since she's pretty much committing the same perspective crime that she implied the scientists were committing just a few seconds earlier.
As for the scenes with Mikoto and her friends, I do think it's a good idea to show the effects Mikoto's new situation is having on her current relationships since it, in turn, creates another measurement on just how much the the new situation will have on Mikoto's life. However, on the other hand i object to the other characters being used in such a way instead of being characters in their own right. The story seems dead set on them simply waiting for answers rather than seeking to play a role and now that the characters themselves have established that, i can't help but feel that their role in this story is pretty much over, rendering their future scenes pointless. The "crime fighting four-member squad" that they've built up so much has seemingly come to an anti-climactic end.

Decent episode, but they really could have put the action from previous episode together with this one in a single episode.
Now it didn't really had that much impact, even thought the action scene was well done. Saten playing Mahjong really surprised me, one could expect that, a girl, would chose different style of games. And AC, being 50 years ahead of the rest of the world, could definitelly make better games (and OS). |

The Accelerator and Misaka fight was full of emotion. Between Misaka's expressions, voice and the BGM, it hit all the right chords. Looks like things are going to be slowing down a bit next episode. I really hope J.C. Staff isn't going to hop back and forth between Misaka's struggles and the other girls daily routine. I have a feeling that would be pretty jarring.

I don't think it's guilt... more like a defense mechanism. If she thought of them as human then she would have no way of attacking the problem rationally - the drive for "I have to stop it right now!!" would be too great, and she has already tried the two obvious ways of stopping it (couldn't kill Accelerator, couldn't appeal to the clones).

Accelerator's reason for going along with this experiment is to become unmatched... but isn't he already far above everybody else? A fellow level 5 couldn't even scratch him. Why does he feel he needs even more power? As far as he knows, he has nothing to fear.
The fight between Accelerator and Mikoto -if you can even call it a fight- was very well done. Mikoto's despair and rage were almost palpable. I liked that iron sand attack, which I believe was new. The difference in power between Mikoto and her clones was easily noticeable.

We don't know if Saten plays mahjong a lot you know. For all we know she just put it on to kill some time because she was bored and wanted to try it. I've done that with chess before.

It was actually in the first season, first shown when Misaka had a match with a certain protagonist (which, now that I think about it, makes it rather strange that Misaka was that surprised when Accelerator could repel it).

But isn't he already that strong? There's an enormous gap between him and ordinary level 5s and yet some people are still willing to challenge him. Becoming level 6 or even a living god isn't going to change that. If anything, it may even motivate those kind of people more (they're idiots). After Ilidsor's post, I understand why he wants to be left alone, but I think he's fooling himself if he thinks that's going to work. There will always be people foolish enough to challenge him. It will never stop.

It's how he repelled it- By doing nothing and still completely unscathed.
