Well one thing Touma learned from dealing with Misaka for so long is that she shocks first and checks for your gunshot wound later. Seriously, stop trying to blame this on him. Even I feel embarrassed watching.

Vol.14, Touma finds Itsuwa to be cute.
Vol.16, Refers Kanzaki as sexy/hot.

So do I. Doesn't mean I lust after them and turn into an idiot around them or idk want to pursue a relationship. If anything my type is Mugino but that's another story entirely. Anyway from his reaction to Oriana, we can assume he was serious about the whole onee-san type thing. Touma plz

Come to think of it I never introduced myself either so "Hi" and stuff.

Kanzaki has the merit of having been the only girl (we know) that could make Touma have an erection, it is at least a proof that he likes the opposite sex to those who say no.

No dude don't limit Da Touman he can have whoever he wants regardless of their downstairs.

But Acer-bro! He's all over Oriana and Orsola's bodies too! (*I didn't do it on purpose but "orsola's" sounds quite funny and ironic)

Also,

“Nyah! See, it says it right here! Essentially, Santa Claus exists!!”

“You idiot. That’s a picture book!! Japan’s skies are protected by radar. If a sled was flying through the sky, it would be spotted right away!!”


“Hey, hey. Does Santa exist or not?”

“I make a point of not discussing religion, baseball, politics, or what the best ramen shop in Japan is.”

“Is it true there’s a miniskirt Santa?”

“Eh? There’s a bearded old man wearing a miniskirt?”

Kamachi, that's not how you destroy a kid's dream!

What I'm saying is that they both made mistakes, so it's a mutual misunderstanding. Get it?

No, I recall a miniskirt Santa from Vol.16's prologue aka Laura Stuart.

I referred to a specific situation where his erection was exposed to the world

Well, I have the same opinion as you about that fact, but we should postpone this here for our own safety since no one will give it up. (I have a bad feeling about this)
Wait, until the volume is fully translated, or at least continue it on the character discussion threads.

How The Level 0 Saved Christmas

[desrtsku]

Kamachi already wrote some Christmas short stories that he used for A simple survey, and it was unexpectedly badass ...
Since the guy once said he doesn't smoke, I'm pretty sure it's the new Kamachi.dll's fault we get even crazier stories volumes after volumes.

[LazyHunter]

Holy... Good god, Tsuchimikado can be a cruel bastard when he wants to. And Fremea is still going on about Santa Claus... Now I wonder what was that Nicholas Foundation Birdway mentioned, because I'm sure a magician could use idol theory with Santa.

One thing I learnt from a young age is that sometimes, running makes you look guilty.

Point taken, they are both at fault. I personally believe that Mikoto deserves much more of the blame. However, we're both having a difference of opinion so let's agree to disagree and move on.

That's audience bias. We know he's doing something but she doesn't, and it's not like every single weird thing that happens to Touma is because of some incident.

Remember Vol.16? Itsuwa saw Touma being chased and figured, hey, it must be Acqua, cause you know, Kamijou Touma, when it was just his teacher chasing him for skipping school.

At the same time, we know that Itsuwa has never been to Academy City nor had any of them except for Touma seen Acqua of the Back at the time.

The difference here is that Mikoto knows that Touma has a thing for getting involved in incidents and as such did not think of that possibility at all. She should know that every time Touma gets involved in something weird, there is an explanation.

Well, I think this is also going to be a point we will continue to disagree on so let's agree to disagree and move on with this too.


On another note

But then the intellectual girl (with glasses) found a book that mentioned that NORAD, famous for ballistic missile defense, used radars and satellites to track Santa Claus. This only confused the situation further.

How many years has it been since I have looked at NORAD's Santa tracker? Brings back memories.

At the same time, kids can talk for long periods of time on the weirdest things, huh?
I was reading this on the subway on the way home and I broke out into laughter and people gave me some weird looks.

Maybe these kids will eventually find out about and investigate the Nicholas Foundation...I smell a Christmas special plot in the making.

Will Touma destroy Santa's illusions?

I think it's more likely that he will destroy the German Black Santa's illusions.

Why would anyone want to destroy Santa's illusions? The consequences would be...

[Sumeragi]

My guess is that Santa is a miracle that not even Imagine Breaker can touch. We've already seen an example of this.

While she's exposed to a lot more than the average student in School Garden have ever been in, a good number of the incidents were kinda like, she just happened to be there because... Touma. ... Before I start picking, I need help on terms... I forgot what RSPK is.

At least in Level Upper and Sisters (and others I have poor memory of) she is mostly aware of what is actually going on, but for the rest... I'd say insufficient situational awareness. While she does everything in her power to help, I don't really think she has much idea of what is really happening in the big picture (like in Volume 12/13, she helped to keep the Hound Dogs off Touma and Index because one was going to fend Vento off while the other was going to rescue Last Order, with both of them setting goals to save Kazakiri who has turned into an Artificial Angel-like thing and is causing havoc but Mikoto doesn't know this, of course).

While the initial problem was her lack of understanding seems to stem from not having anyone to provide intel on what's really happening, I'd also say that the other half of the problem lies in her puzzling lack of resourcefulness to get that info. She had her chances where she should, but didn't expend it.

We all know how her interaction goes when Touma comes into screen, but I don't really want to blame this... but considering how a lot of stuff that happens somehow tend to revolve around Touma in a way or another, I can't hold back from doing that much.

For this volume, we are however presented with Misaki being the more helpful one, but I can't really take her actions for granted yet for the time being (Backstabbing in Index happens at times you'll least expect it to, mind).

Some people might do it seriously, but if you say "having fun with what's going around Touma," then I admit I am part of them

Really, I can have fun shipping Touma with anyone, even with characters not from his series, as long as I find that idea amusing to laugh at. And I bet there're people crazier than me in this regard

[Requiem-x]

Ohhhh boy, that's one connection I didn't expect. Spoilers or no spoilers, all hell is about to break loose. Meanwhile, Fremea is still obnoxious.

Touma doesn't need to destroy Santa's illusions, parents do that just fine on their own

OK. But what about...
