There's also a possiblity you get hit by a car when you cross the street. The likelyhood of that is just as big, or even bigger, as some back-alley idiots trying to restart the sisters experiment (judging from how easily they were brought up by Anti-Skill, they can't have been more than some back-alley idiots). |
Yeah, there is a possiblity of being hit by a car. Why do you think people look both ways? To reduce that risk. How do you reduce the risk of Tree Diagram getting out? By destroying the remanant.

How exactly do you expect him to find out? Call Yomikawa when she is on the job, and he has no idea where or if she is involved in it at all. No, best wy is to destroy the Remanent himself.

Face it, Accelerator is a psychotic freak who likes to beat up helpless girls and stuff like that (ok, that isn't news exactly).

If someone started to talk smack and point out that I no longer have my powers, abilites or defense, I'd think they were getting ready to strike, especially when we were enemies.
Is that paranioa, yeah, it is. Still doesn't change the fact that it is possible.
(ANd yeah, Accel is a psycho. No new news there)

After he'd kidnapped Index, he tried to get hold of one of the Index books. Had he actually succeeded, the damage would've been much greater than some back alley idiots trying to rebuild Tree Diagram (of which the likelyhood for success was near zero, anyway).

How do you get that impression? That guy was trying to take a book that could be used to heal someone, and the only damage he did (apart from to buildings) was to himself.
Not the same as a radical element getting ahold of the most advanced super computer in the world.
Though if someone did get hold of one of Index's books, it would be pretty bad.
And I think you are under estimating the outside element. They were trying to get their hands on it for purposes other than Awaki's. And do you really think that she would ally herself with a pitiful group that can't even begin to repair and rebuild Tree Diagram with the Remanent as a base. Of course she wouldn't

As such, the wind bow guy was certainly no bit better, yet he got off very easily with a "Now we all hug" ending.
Awaki though was first beat up by Accelerator, and then he tried to kill her. The Tornado Punch alone would've already reduced most people's face to a bloody pulp. Then, being dropped 10+ stories would've reduced anyone to a splat on the ground, which was probably just what he had intended. Awaki somehow managed to avoid that fate - perhaps she could mobilise last reserves and teleport herself a little bit just above the ground, and so avoid certain death.

I disagree. Awaki was more trying to help herself than help anyone else. Yeah, I can understand someone being scared of their powers. But though Awaki had her reasons (good ones) she still went about it for her own selfishness, instead of trying to come to terms with her abilites.
Even she agrees that she was lying to herself and the people who were helping her. Her problem didn't lie with her powers, but herself.
I wont deny that, technically, once that case was destroyed by Accel, the problem was over.
Awaki would have been completely harmless and Accel could have just let her go.
Would you be satisfied with that?
Let's compare the bow guy and Awaki.
The first recked Touma's home, kidnapped Index, trying to hurt Touma in the process (maybe even kill), and then tried to steal one of Index's books, an attempt that almost killed him.
His reason. To save the life of the one he loved.
Awaki sneak attacked Kuroko, teleporting a corkscrew and two or three spikes into her body, stole Remanent and tried to sell it to outside (and possibly hostile forces), battled and shot Kurko, then finally tried to kill Kuroko for making her realise that her powers were not to blame, but herself.
Her reason - She was afraid of her own power and how she could use it to hurt people, and so wanted to explore the possiblity of animals and and others having powers too.
Fighting for the people who are afraid of their powers is one thing, and I can accept that as noble(ish), but Awaki went too far. It especially hurts her case that she used her powers to hurt others, which she was afraid of, but as Kuroko pointed out, that is her fault, not the powers fault.
two quesions: One- Which one do you think should have been punched. Only one of them, or both of them? Or possibly neither?
Two- Why do you think she didn't deserve to be punched?
