Couldn't frogface M.D. put the girl on therapeutic hypothermia or something to buy time while they find a cure?
I'm not that well versed in medicine, and she is a somewhat altered human, but I'd think that with Academy City's technology, they could at least prolong the life of someone that's about to die from poisoning.

This.... extra arc is seriously a headache and a heartache .__.
It is quite hard to explain stuff without breaking the 'no spoiler' rule.... Let's just say Saten needs a lot more common sense and survival instinct... While Uiharu needs to find somewhere other then the Judgment branch if she want to hack something.... and put up some anti-trace/hack back

But i do appreciate that the show has been highly vague on just what Judgement's relation to Academy City is.

And the other half wasn't about Kuroko's (or Uiharu's) competence, but about what are the dangers from getting involved with the dark side. ... In the end what? are we discussing different things? what a nice waste of time, I'm out. |

It's only become clear that your point was irrelevant just now, now that you've brought in your "other approach". Before you made it sound like what Kuroko was doing was outside her jurisdiction and not what Judgement does, but now it's been made clear that what Kuroko et al does it what Judgement can be capable of, but just not what they usually do. That distinction is important. If Kuroko was acting outside her jurisdiction, then that means she isn't comparable to a police officer. But if she's simply higher than the standard, then she's still comparable to a police officer, regardless of the rest of the Judgement is. I still don't know what your point is btw. Are you contesting whether Kuroko's branch are comparable to police officers or whether the rest of judgement is comparable?

Judgement is not supposed to engage dangerous criminals, from my perspective, and thus Kuroko acts outside her duties. That's precisely it. Quote:

Of course you're clearly wrong anyway. Whilst there is some ambiguity to what Judgement's duties are exactly, there's no doubt that the story portrays Kuroko as acting within her duties when engaging criminals. This is made abundantly clear within the first five pages of the manga. Otherwise it she'd be a massive hypocrite and people would be wondering how she's still even in Judgement if she keeps consistently going against the rules and acts as a vigilante. Quote:

But she doesn't act like a vigilante, a vigilante acts as judge and executioner, Kuroko doesn't. She acts as if she was a police officer (or AC equivalent) , but that doesn't mean she is one. About the part you mention at the start of the manga, harrassment can't quite qualify as a dangerous crime. A voluntary force should usually be enough for that. Anyway, to me it's more important the common sense of not giving an underage volunteer the responsibilities associated with an officer... And the logical statement I made with that "other approach" which I don't feel like repeating. Also, your argument is very subjective. To use it to categorically say that "I'm clearly wrong" is too bold, if you ask me. I'll respect your perspective, but stop acting as if anything else is unthinkable. |

It's not subjective. I just don't think you understand the concept of exposition, nor the definition of vigilante, for that matter.
The part in the manga was about assault, and it's only an example. Another example is the fact that Konori (who you consider to be more a more appropriate reference point) also engages in dangerous situations such as dealing with bomb attacks (Level Upper arc), taking down gang members (Big Spider arc) and chasing giant mechas in her motorcycle (Poltergeist arc). You talk about common sense of not giving an underaged volunteer the responsibilities associated with an officer when said underaged volunteer can teleport needles into your brain. If it's violating common sense, then that just means it's a plot hole in the same vein of Kuroko's hypocrisy. Your explanation only raises more questions than it answers.

I definitely agree that Kuroko oversteps her bounds though. She should join Anti-skill instead |
