As I said before I know she's got a fine side with Touma, but still she's annoying 90% of the time (in the anime), and I'm sure you agree that she should have more screentime (without being mean, that is) (She also does not really deserve her name in the title, but this has to do with Kamachi ) 100% agreed |

It would be safe to surmise that Professor Kihara here is a martial artist of some denomination; no mere western boxer or street fighter can have such a concise understanding of the very physics of combat. And juding from the absolute control and timing he has over his fists, he would more than likely be a master of Wing Chun Kung Fu (made famous by Bruce Lee's "one inch punch"; the crucible of mastery and control over one's physical force.)
Yup, Touma is screwed this time.

I hope JC Staff fixes that next season. (especially since they have extra motivation to do so, what with Mikoto being so popular) It won't hurt anything, but would definitely help things. But anyway, anything more is a discussion for another thread.

Yes, she's not the type of character to sit around when something happens. That's why she has a slightly important role in this arc. However, Index mainly deals with the magic side, which she is completely unaware of, and thus she doesn't play that much of a role in Index itself. That's what Railgun is for. And yes, I should probably stop here. This is kind of deviating from the discussion. Also, I saw that a few of the posts here had some information not revealed yet. I hope a moderator doesn't casually stop by and remove them for being "spoilers".

On the second paragraph, there isn't much I can say since my evidence is mainly from the hasn't-aired-yet novel material again, but as I said in my previous post the reason she doesn't get more involved in the magic side is because of poorly forced reasons from the author. (which JC Staff has to concede to in order to stay true to the novels) Mikoto may not know about the magic side, but she knows Touma is off fighting bad guys. For example, the fight with Sherry Cromwell; Touma is clearly set to fight her, but where's Mikoto? Teleported away by Kuroko, and isn't giving any serious second thought to Touma's predicament. Then, she totally misses Index being attacked by the golem........because Index's cat ran away at just the perfectly wrong (or perfectly right, for the purpose of forcing Mikoto away from the magic side) time. Ugh. Admittedly these are some of the least poorly-derived excuses for Mikoto's absence in the fight (not by too much though), but it was still very forced; why didn't Touma have Kuroko teleport Hyouka and Index, the two people least capable of defending themselves, first? Mikoto is the third most powerful Level 5 Esper in Academy City; (at the time, they all thought that) Index and Hyouka were in the most danger. Why in the world would you get Mikoto out first and leave Hyouka in such a dangerous place? Yes, Hyouka was important for that arc, but I doubt Touma and the others care about things like that. It's forced reasoning. And I don't need to point out how Sphinx running away was so perfectly timed to get Mikoto away from Index before the Golem attacked. I don't know why the author is so dead-set on keeping Mikoto out of the magic side plot, but at the very least he could make it happen more sensibly than using such forced reasoning. Wow, that went on a lot longer than I had originally intended. Now I'm done.

Wow, this main character crap again ?
Let me put this simply, ask any average Joe watcher to name the main characters of this show, I assure you without hesitation the three names they would pull out of their hats would be Touma Index Mikoto. Go to any website, official or not, and they would also label those three characters as the main characters. I'm certain you people had to think up all kinds of specific reason not to include Mikoto as a main character... Don't. It just looks silly.

Also, the credits' cast list for each episode also lists all three first (whenever Mikoto appears, anyway; anime credits' cast lists don't include characters that don't appear in the episode regardless of importance), and we all know that a cast list also goes in order of character importance unless otherwise stated, like "In Alphabetical Order" or "In Order of Appearance." (neither of which is the case with the credits of Index S2, or most every other anime, live-action series, or movie)

I honestly don't think levels mattered at that point as much as getting everyone out of there. And you're forgetting that Antiskill and Judgment were there too, so the people stuck in the mall were under protection. As for keeping Mikoto out of the magic side, maybe the author wants to, you know, focus on the actual magic side protagonist? Why should Mikoto out of all people deserve special treatment when she's the farthest thing from magic? She has her own spinoff series where she is the science side heroine, so why does she need to be involved with magic side issues as well? And we really should end the discussion here.

I think you're heavily overestimating Mikoto here. She is by no means weak and her participation in fights would definitely help, but even considering just the fights covered in the anime so far, there's no way she'd make Touma undefeatable. Quote:
1. Touma is the one who decided which two would be teleported out. Kuroko complied with who he chose. 2. Kuroko is a responible member of Judgement; putting a defenseless civilian in danger for her own personal reasons is something she would not do. And Kuroko is the one who has specifically said she would fight against Mikoto if she became an enemy of Academy City. 3. Mikoto is the third most powerful Level 5 Esper in Academy City, leading back to 2. 4. Touma's IB doesn't prevent Kuroko from teleporting Hyouka out, thus is not relevant at all to why they didn't get Hyouka out first. Quote:
Second, you don't consider people to be safe just because there's somebody around to protect them. Police and military personel always evacuate civilians when there's danger, regardless of how well they think they can protect them. That's exactly why Judgement was going around evacuating people from the mall in the first place. Quote:
And keeping her out of the action (which has been going on since well before Railgun started, so that's irrelevant) just because she has her own series is still ignoring her character and forcing contrived developments. I don't see how that's special treatment when she doesn't appear every arc. But in the arcs she does appear in, some forced reason or another keeps her out of the action even when it's practicaly going on right in front of her.

Shouldn't it be Misaka thread? That discussion is very interesting, let's not kill it brutally like a certain someone tried to do.
EDIT: btw, Wilfriback, I just realized that some of the things I said were bullshit (Index is indeed not the only one being unfair with Touma)... |
