Don't be so sure of that. Japanease doesn't have gender specific pronouns, so usually its up to translators discretion until they know for certian one way or the other. Take Chrona for example. Go to two diffrent tranlations and one will say "he" while the other says "she".
You'd have to have someone with the RAW if it gives any real indication #6 is a he.

I don't know where this 'complete monster' impression came from, even way back in Vol 15 Hazamura noted how much better Kakine is as a person as compared to the 'complete monster' that was Mugino.

Well, he's not as hellbent on destruction as Accelerator or Mugino. While Accelerator goes and destroys stuff to keep others away from his own business, Kakine only destroys what he thinks is standing on his way. Mugino is an entirely different can of fish (lol), and would probably destroy an entire city block to kill a bug.
Mugino's that unstable.

The thing I liked about that scene is that Kakine Teitoku seems to be goofing around with them, making him seem much more normal and human. And the best part is that SCHOOL seems comfortable around Teitoku to joke around with him at that.
I guess that Accelerator is probably what sets him off, since he certainly seems to suffer from an acute case of 'Inferiority Complex'. So I guess that he loses it where Accelerator is involved. |

As for no 6's gender, I haven't read the Japanese raw of latest Railgun manga so I can't comment on it, but I'll mention it here once I have if they reveal his/her gender in the chapter or not if no one has mention it first before me. |

One unrelated question. I decided to polish Silvercross Alpha's Powered Suits articles in the Toaru wiki. I already added the Bee Launcher (and if someone can take a look and confirm is ok I'll be grateful) but I run into a problem. The wiki puts the Highway Cheetah as the biopedal armadillo like suit Silvercross uses when I think it's a different 4-legged suit. As seen here in the novel (Chapter 4 Part 9)
Spoiler:
Also Silvercross refers to the armadillo suit as Life Armor (Part 15) Quote:

Indeed, this is going to be a major plot point later on and GREMLIN is probably linked with Othinus with their Norse style and that "use magic and science" shtick. Can we expect him to go "bitch I make Izzard look like nothin'"?

I wonder if Kamachi would keep to his "3 volumes annually" streak that he has maintained for the last couple of years... New Testament 2 is light enough for that to happen, but at the same time he now has Heavy Object to write as well...
It's probably too late to come in October like Vol 22, so that just leaves November as the only other month he has published a volume...

Anyone remember when Heaven Canceler did a brain scan on Touma? Supposedly there was speculation that his brain was far too dangerous and complex than any Level 5's.
I'm really curious about Touma's childhood and origin since he was often called a 'child of calamity' that affected others. (SS2) I hope there's an Side Story dedicated simply to Touma's childhood in the future or one with Accelerator might not be too bad either which reveals his old name. The identity of #6 Level 5 will be revealed soon... I truly hope its a girl, so she's added to Touma's ever increasing harem. Last edited by Hiro Hayase; 2011-09-12 at 15:35. |

Hmmm.... I still think Kamachi would go with a guy... A mixture of Gut feeling as well as group dynamics.

About the n°6 what I'm more surprised is that people aren't fretting about the comment of "it was expected that you wouldn't find him"... Maybe the 6th's ability has to do with concealing once's presence or something? That comment gives way more room for theories than his / her / it's gender (which I'm guessing, he is going to be a trap )

Question: what exactly "a certain prophecy index" talks about? I heard its the first time when touma meets maika(probably after the memory loss).
http://r-s.sakura.ne.jp/w/s/ipi.htm Anyway, really wanted to see the special chapter where Misaka meets Kanzaki and Touma talks to misaka 20002, the one with cat ears. Anyone can give a summary of what happens? |

So lets start the absurd theories about the #6 Level 5's ability~ We have someone saying its shape-shifting. Any other guesses? I say he/she has the ability to move through shadows and manipulate them. Although that kinda sounds lame now that I look back at it. The #6 Level's ability has to be something far different than the other Level 5's.....plus he/she is not a gemstone. Seems like a rational and sane type of person after not messing up the messenger like Accelerator, but instead disappearing from his sights. |
