Still, I'm betting this is a non issue for Aleister, perhaps his plan will change the world so much that this won't matter in the slightest, so maybe he doesn't really have a plan for the grown up espers. On the other hand, there's gotta be at least some adult espers around, even if they are low tiers, I wonder where are they... So far, we've only seen Telestina, though for an unknown reason she's powerless (maybe she was a level 0 from start.) Except it wasn't a disaster from Kihara's point of view, as they had collected a good amount of data, Body Clear is an advancement made on that (and perhaps some more experiments.) |

And magic in the toaruverse is projection of legends and fairy tales and being an esper prevents people from using magic basically means that worship of christanity would end if espers where to spread to the rest of the world. Also it seems he can suppress magic usage with the help of the AIM diffusion field as seen in the anime when Vento tried to assault the city. Which brings me to an interesting question is the power that Touma used to crush the power that resides inside of him and regenerate his arm higher than the aeon of horus? Spoiler for Real world theory about the fourth age:
Found that from googling aeon of horus.^^

The day that Esper technology becomes available outside the city, the first people who would use it are the military around the world to development super soldiers but this would be crappy Level 1s and 2s. They would still request assistance in tactics to fight other espers and such from Academy City. The day the Esper technology becames available to the public, we'll going to have protests and demonstrations to reject that, especially in America lol. The medical centers would be firebombed and they would spend years debating this issue. And if every the technology gets accepted world wide, there still exist techniques and methods to monitor and control Espers that Academy City had developed which would most likely be use by the world governments. But by that time, Academy City would still be creating the strongest Espers around.

And If Academy City was truly self sufficient they wouldn't need to rely on relationships with other countries, even if they can create their own materials they would still eventually run out of the basic stuff like raw metal and food... You don't think a couple of rooftop gardens is really going to feed 2.3 million people? Without help from outside nations, they wouldn't be able to conduct research outside the City, and eventually they'll run out of space. And this is not even talking about the political context. Erm no, Accelerator is the first Esper that fits his plan, 'Successful' is a very vague word.

Spoiler for Railgun SS:
This line really does make one wonder such a scenario. So it's a general consensus for all of us that the higher tier espers like level 5 were very recently. All of us here can agree on this point, no? I wouldn't put it past Aleister if he's secretly developing anti-esper weaponry that could potentially nullify their abilities based on observing Touma's Imagine breaker or another method that cancels AIM based powers. It's already confirmed that Full-Tuning and other Misaka WORST are yet to be unveiled. I can understand if Accelerator was the very first lever 5 discovered since many of Academy City's esper ability enhancement projects use him as the base like the Dark May Project. Although Academy City is self-sufficient in many areas, it still needs to bring in raw materials from the outside. |

That example shows a lot in "literature", but I think that it doesn't show up that often on engrish. I remember many japanese works having using it since long ago, those kind of things always strike my attention since different cultures uses different animals for that example.

I wonder...
I don't have the original novels, but I looked this up: If the original version says: モルモット (morumotto) then that translates as "guinea pig" in English, not "marmot", which is マーモット (maamotto) Given these words, a mistranslation would be easy. "Sacrificial animal" would probably work fine, as it retains the meaning. |
