As for Kamachi's work - Oda of the LN world, remember. He's already surpassed human limits. I doubt that the Loki Nets were able to one-shot the HsB-07's - I got the feeling the AC planes were just beginning their counter attack. As for Touma- I always smiled when he was named dropped as you are absolutely right- he's being depicted as a fast becoming legendary super hero. Magic is based on legends and myths, right? So isn't it possible that, like Enshuu copied Touma's mental patterns, someone could do the magic equivalant and base a spell on him?

From Marian's way of fighting. She really isn't the type which fights head on like Bersi/Kagun. The way she was corned twice first from Byouri then Oumi. She is powerful as long as she has tools. And you can't say she was soloing the whole fight because at first. She uses the tools which is "humans" she is expert in human modifying or life modifying that she uses it as weapons and also as a tool to scare the opponent away or destroy their morals. She also use it as a trap or sensory. I can say she is pretty wise and among the gremlins operative that which shown in the beginning she is indeed top tier. Specially when she brought out that cheap/cheat and yes that's a f****UUU cheap sword. She can probably beat almost everyone with that cheap sword of hers. The other gods in norse aren't showing up yet and I think Marian doesn't qualify yet as thor for what you pointed out. So expect a lot worse and I expect those gods are the battle type and not support type. I'm disappointed on Sygwin? Sygin? darn spelling Her suggestion looks useful but a waste because we didn't even get to see her. Waste of illustrations too. GIVE OTHINUS AN ILLUSTRATION!!!!! Onto the second thought. I also agree. Hands down and bows down with forehead on the ground. Kamachi's creative idea on that department never cease to amaze me even though it all looks gibberish at first because I don't understand it much unless I read it or google it. On the third part with the HS fights against Loki's net. Its one of the thing that excites me on Index III is the weapons that academy city will unveil. Specially in vol 14 where the boombers shows up to bomb Italy. It will look totally sweet in anime pov when all those high tech of academy city shows up. Magic side shows good characters but their weapons are pretty old looking for me..... and lastly face it chaoz. TOUMA = HERO of this verse. He got male fans and female fans. But in the afterword of this volume. Solidifies my theory of change for Touma. Because I notice in the chapter when he just say that he didn't ended up saving Kagun. It's like ... it's not bothering him at all or rather it bothers him but its not showing in emotion at all. Touma is CHANGING. It also reminds me the difference of Shirou and Archer of fate. Touma from before would be emotional in such situation when he failed to protect someone and it just didn't ended up with injury but death. He is beginning to accept that he alone or he can't save the world. But still he WILL SAVE "world" It puts me into at ease in his last words muttered to Ollerus that their are still people needs to be save even though his also at that state. I can't help but mimic Ollerus smiling Touma is changing and so as the world is changing but something will still not change. I might sound like a bad guy again but really....... Quote:

Ok guys, as i understood the ones who surely are dead are Utgard-Loki and Kihara Ranshuu?
Kihara Kagun became an Einherjar - something like lifeless zombie? So there is a possibility he will return or he is finished for 100%??? Conidering how many times Byouri resurrected i dont know what to expect from her. Maria is alive and well (exept beeing scared to shit) Oumi Shuri and Saflee Opendays probably almost died, but were saved when Touma arrived.Most likely. Last time we saw Kihara Enshuu when she was uncouncious after battle with Maria and others. It`s mean she is alive so far... Marian is beaten to a pulp but pretty alive for me. Last one is Sigyn. Dont know why Haimura made an illustration of her. Really we didnt see her at all. As far as i understood she was captured and interrogated by Maria and Oumi. We dont know what they did with her later, do we? Correct me if i am wrong. I just want to be sure what happened to all characters. |

I think that it can be read as "it's own arc" (lit. = original version) in some circumstances? I can't tell since I'm not looking at the whole text and I'm definitely not good with subtleties like those.
From the moment Othinus manhandled roughly Marian's because she was not being useful and after Bersi was turned into a slob, I got the feeling that Marian was going to betray her in the end. Reading the afterword only strengthens my suspicions.

To all the "Awaken" Mikoto advocates: No. That would essentially destroy her basic character. |

Err... I think the bigger question should be who you want her curb-stomping. At the point we're at now, we're looking at roughly Saint-class opponents and above as the main opponents of the story. Sorry to say, but Mikoto just isn't a Saint-class fighter.

I just read the author's afterword, and it looks like he teased about the next volume possibly being about valkyries considering they made a small appearance along side Birdway near the end.
I liked how he approached Touma's character in this volume because he's able to save the lives of others perfectly but he failed to save a few people, hence the apology he made to Marian before their fight. I wonder if Birdway, Yuiko Kihara, or Kakine will make an appearance next volume because they played a significant role during the course of the mayhem and they've been referenced a lot, hinting that their presence will be possible.
