Continuing Touma's Esper status discussion from http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...81#post4173881
Quote:
There's no guarantee that the curriculum worked on Touma, you're just assuming it did when there's no confirmation. The IB could have messed the "esperification" process itself. So no, it's not safe to say that he can produce AIM. |

Wow. I really didn't expect my question to bring about such discussion.

Going with the assumption that he is an esper, I wonder what his real level would be? People do come out of the program at different levels. 1. Just like how he wrongly thinks Imagine Breaker is an esper ability. |

Wasn't there talk about IB in Vol. 2, how Deep Blood proves the existence of vampires and what IB proves?For me, Touma couldn't have possible known about IB before entering the program, as in a world without supernatural powers, IB only brings you misfortune.

As is it is unclear if Touma ever went through any part of the PCP. Since Gemstone = esper that did not get thier powers through the PCP or other artifical means. IB was/is thought to be a gemstone by very high level people in AC therefore Touma had IB coming in to AC. Espers can only have 1 power. A large part of PCP is to manifest the power in the first place. Therefore it is pointless and likely dangous to Touma for AC to have put him through the part of PCP to manifest his powers. And due to not being able to read anything on his powers Parameter List likely has him taged as don't even try and he seems to have always been on Aliesters watch list with the words "no touchie, this means you Kihara"

but the banned touch are only for the dark side. The normal side and the school where Touma went doesn't know anything about that. And isn't he always complaining on Tsukiyomi sensei about it so I think he really had gone the same program and isn't the talk with Hamadura and Birdway confirm it. That even level zero that gone onto the program means that they can't use Touma though it didn't confirm for Touma if it's because of him being level 0 or because of Imagine Breaker.

Can Saiai use her Offense Armor to create a shield covering nearby allies? Because if she can, that would make her a nice defensive buffer for an RPG party. And there's Rikou to consider, who can buff pretty much ANY esper except perhaps Touma.

About Accelerator's ability. I recall that Kihara managed to bypass his reflection by pulling his fist back at the moment of contact in order to use Accelerator'a reflection to force his fist forward. Why couldn't Accelerator just made the vector 0 and stop the fist?

Accelerator's vector shield automatically reverses vectors coming its way. Kihara's reverse punch relies on the fact that pulling his fist back (his vectors) right when making contact with Accelerator's vector shield makes it so it reverses the direction of his punch - in this case, forward instead of backwards. In short, he uses minute timing to abuse how indiscretionary Accelerator's vector shield is.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I have a theory about Touma's ability. You know how almost every person he fights becomes a good guy eventually? Well my theory is that his power actually makes people into better people. This ties in with his position which is stated to be "He who cleanses god and exorcises the devil". It would explain how he so consistently turns people to his side, and I think would fit in really well with the series. I mean bad characters turning good happens a lot but I haven't ever read any series where it happens as much and as consistently ar Index.
On a side note (although I'm less sure about this) maybe his power doesn't just cleanse people when he fights them, it also spreads. This fits in with his old nickname "The Plague" and I think that would make it a really good bit of foreshadowing. The only evidence I have for this though is Hamazura turning Mugino good. |

Well Terra got killed pretty soon afterwards so maybe it takes time, or maybe he has some sort of counter effect to it because he knows what it is. And Biagio... actually what the heck happens to Biagio I don't think he's ever even mentioned again. Unless I just have a really bad memory
But anyways ya, I doubt that this is really the reason. I just think it would be cool if it was Last edited by Ilidsor; 2012-06-14 at 14:28. Reason: wording |

But yeah, I agree, most of the people Touma interacted with ended reflecting their actions, even the narrative hints that, for example Fiamma: Quote:

He was imprisoned by Necessarius. Styl interrogated him about the God's right hand during the C-document arc. Biagio wasn't really repenting his actions in there though, so he will probably won't become a "good guy" anytime soon... moreover, I don't think we'll see him again at all.
