In the first season she wear more pretty clothes, though there are eye-catching ones in this one as well. Let's hope we'll get to see her in the red swimsuit she choose:3 |

Watching the episode 7 of Railgun S, I noticed those quotes she said:
Quote:
- lit. The eyes are more trustworthy than the ears -> which in English means "seeing is believing" She must be quite a lot influenced by that site and not just that. In Railgun PSP game it was mentioned, that besides many internet sites and blogs, there are TV shows and even her favorite MAGAZINE. The Magazine goes by name Zarathustra which is name of the founder of Zoroastrianism. The principes of that religion are in the struggle between truth (good) and lies (bad), where humans are searching for the truth. Which matches her personality a lot and even her quote Quote:
So it's quite possible she is (even if accidentally) a believer of a different religion, which does not matches with the AC theories. Which could be one of reason she does so poor on the esper program, regardless of how much she tries. What do you think? (the Parameter List asides) Maybe she would do really well if she would have been a magician.. |

She seems to put too much faith in rumors and tales (often of the supernatural kind) while lacking the pragmatism that would be expected from a student in Academy City. She probably would've been better off in the Magic Side, yes. She doesn't have the profile of an Esper. |

Very interesting thoughts. Aside from Zoroastrianism, seeing how important the omamori she received from her mother is to her, I think Shinto also plays a significant part in her life. But this is true to most Japanese anyway.
This profile really does not fit science-based esper development. But in my opinion we can't be 100% sure about her doing better on the Magic Side. Spoiler for Thoughts about the way the universe works:
Esper and Magic Side are not two separate, sharply demarcated worlds, both are based on something fundamental. So I think that there is a possibility that espers can be good magicians, and vice-versa. But this has nothing to do with beliefs and religions, but with the ability to find one approach to and gain control of the forces of nature. Anyway, for me, in a certain sense, Saten-san will always be one of the strongest persons in Academy City. |

- Fillers. - Use some material from railgun's mininovels and expand it a lot like the studio did with the Level Upper's arc. |

Spoiler for Railgun manga chapter 59:
That's something that stands out. Also from chapter 59,60 Spoiler for railgun manga chapters 59,60, liberal arts city LN:
Plus, there is one case that works in terms of esper/magic... and I'm not talking about someone's first name that ends in an "o," I'm talking about someone else... Given that... it might happen in this case even if it is unlikely... |

Seriously, what was the meaning of the lot of work they put into her during the 1st season? They cared for her so much, they put her in the center of attention so many times, she was such a deep, columnar main heroine. Moreover, they choose her outfits masterfully, in a much better way then in this season. I'm really looking forward to see the BD sales. I wonder how many fans will turn away, how many will stay, and how many will join in light of the drastic changes in the atmosphere of the anime. |

But Zoroastrianism is really extensive religion, with tons of good and bad beings. There are also lot of miracles and it even has it's own judgement day. I am not an expert on it, I read only few pages on wiki, but most notable stuff I found was: Spoiler for size:
Quote:
She has a minor role there, where she saves some people while Mikoto is fighting and convinces Xochitl to help them. Quote:
The only curriculum she MOST LIKELY recieved was in elementary school when she joined AC and we can easily suppose they never gave her anything after that. And I am sure something like that can be easily reverted, to allow her use magic. And if Accelerator can protect himself from the dmg caused by magic, we can suppose there might exist a magical tool that will do the same. On top of that, using a magical tool does not requiere that much knowledge. Quote:
I also find the filler scenes boring compared to those in first season. They could have really given them better story, get them slightly involved, save Nunotaba.. And we still have at least 5 episodes before the Sister arc is finished (as in no Saten, Uiharu and barely any Kuroko). Afterward you will have like 8 episodes for the The Liberal Arts City arc. And though Saten is involved there, she is again a damsel in distress, having to be saved at least 3-4 times, then beaten up, nearly killed and later knocked out by Mikoto, because she wanted to help, but Mikoto wanted to do it instead.. As for BD sales, I am sure the Kamikoto shippers will save it. Quote:
I think the sadest thing that kills characters for me is when they don't change when they are meant to (or change when they are not meant to). Saten already had her share of tears, hardships and challenges she faced and endured, that I believe she deserves to change for the better. If done correctly, I would really welcome her gaining powers, it would be a refreshing change that can add new depth to her character as she learns how it is to live with powers (and that it is not so simple as she believes) The constant damsel in distress, while being fodder for others and being kept away from the real story is getting a bit anoying already. |

Accelerator didn't really "protect" himself from magic so much as stop it from immediately killing him. It still did a lot of damage. Saten is never going to learn to use magic. It's just not possible in the story. She might get to use some magic items but I really doubt it. Most likely she will discover that her 'charm' works and gives her good luck and be happy with that. And that's if any sort of development happens at all.

Back in the good old days, even without esper powers, Saten showed many times how powerful she is. And now, she's really just a damsel in distress. She ended up like Himegami. |

Ueharu has even less presence, and Haruue finally disappeared. But I hope they do a filler or two and also follow-up on Nunotaba. But, so we still have 5 episodes (I didn't know)? ( -_-)........ ..........TSUMANNEEE----~~
