and the JC similary statement is new to me PS: i really doubt that anyone will die in this story, at least anyone who is close to touma, maybe, touma can sacrifice himself but to be honest, i imagine a scene where everyone thinks touma is dead but he shows up again maybe with wiped memorys again |

I don't want Touma to save Mikoto this time around. I would prefer Mikoto saves herself this time around. Or at least interaction with the sisters to help her around this current crises. Mikoto has already became the damsel in distress and some think shes rather clingy.
Than the best development for her would be standing up on her two feet and coming to a Self-realization or figuring this out on her own. And the fear of her being killed off is rather interesting. I wouldn't mind her dying if it's done in a creative way and not done suddenly. |

I think interaction with Will and Mikoto is much needed. I have a feeling that is going to happen sooner or later.
I have thought for a very long time that Will could be an important tool for Mikoto's development. And I hope this would come true. |

I don't know exactly how well Accelerator will effect Mikoto as a character and being told about the darkness will probably not help her in anyway. Honestly, no one should really save her from anything. Even if we have these interactions, the other characters should fail to helping her this time.
She wants to catch up, she wants the power to help Touma... To achieve this she needs to come to an understanding with herself. Standing on her own too feet, because frankly shes too wishy washy in my eyes with her commitment to helping Touma. She needs to grit her teeth and move forward on her own strength. And I really hope this actually happens. It's why I do enjoy this sense of decent in the darkness, because I imagine shes trying to find a way to help and is getting lost along the way. But I feel you really don't understand yourself, you don't know how to move on with the decisions you struggle to make until you break everything that is you as a person. I feel this will lead to a breaking down of Mikoto Misaka as a character, since NT 13 really highlighted her flaws more than anything. Now it's time to break the already cracked glass into pieces. As you don't get strong from simply seeking power, you get strong from the hard decisions you had to make which effects your life and those around you. That's exactly how Touma got strong, IB doesn't really come into it in my eyes. Sure it helped, but IB in the end is just a tool and like any other tool it's only as effective as the person who wields it. Mikoto can do great things with her powers and more importantly her intelligence. Her intellect is her strongest asset in my mind compared to her powers and that should really be played on more. But of course giving the benefit of doubt she is ignorant of magic, but it doesn't mean she can't later learn about it. She doesn't need power to face the enemies which Touma face, she needs personal strength in her own heart to make the decisions, she has found up to this point hard to make personally. I know worded this terribly but I hope someone understands my point and my terrible review of her possible development. |

I'm not really sure why what to think or say towards these thoughts on Mikoto being clingy. I mean, I get that its really dragging on about her believing she is useless and all that stuff.
But wanting her to die, really? Seriously, even if it happens in a meaningful way, that just seems like a surefire way to alienate a massive segment of the fanbase. In fact, since the clones are being put in the spotlight again, I'm willing to bet that the thing that ends up 'breaking her' will be finding out that the clones project has been resurrected again. And another thing you've got to keep in mind, which is commonly ignored. She's freaking 14 years old and is going though one of the most brutal psychological non-stop existential crisis ever while at the same time, balancing a semi-normal school life (if you could call it that.) And besides that, in the beginning, she was anything but clingy. She was downright unapproachable by pretty much anyone that wasn't one of her friends or classmates, which are all girls btw. Anyways, the main core of the series started at June and it is now December. That's only 6 and 1/2 months that have passed since things started getting really weird. Its a bit unreasonable and unrealistic to expect somebody to change so drastically in such a short amount of time. One thing I do agree on however, is that I want her to meet the Will too, maybe even find a way to communicate freely even. |

^ Maybe that's why I'm beginning to become ambivalent towards NT in general. I'm not really a fan of characters "getting fucked" in one way or another. It always leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
If Kamachi has to do it, he better make it good and he better do it fast.

One of the core part of this series is you have to work like hell for your happy ending and your world will try to destory your happy ending which all it might but still give some small look of hope even if true or just there to mess with you more and give you more sorrow because one of the worse way to give people overwhelming sorrowis to make it seen like there hope and destory it in front of you. Mikoto herself seen to be on that path she found AAA and use it and now think she can fight by Touma side when it all a fake hope which will lead her to more sorrow. |

So I just read few of the spoilers in the To aru Facbook page and from what I gathered Mikoto saves Touma's ass again in this volume by using the AAA and the end only sets up Yuuitsu vs Kamisato and Aleister vs Mikoto and Touma (because let's be real, he is going to be there to oppose Crowley's plan to get rid of her) so expect if (<- keyword) this is true another Touma and Mikoto volume soon, at least that's what the spoilers so far read like, i'll wait to read the translation before saying anything concrete.
So with that said i'm baffled as to where the hell all this talk of Mikoto dying or her joining the bad guys or Kamisato's harem comes from, all I can think is that the usual suspects are just getting carried away with their hate for Mikoto and trying to create false speculation... no wait, they will say it just a joke, even though the same happened for NT.13 not too long ago (seriously, the same damn thing). So how about we all wait for the volume to be translated before we go talking about fan speculations as if they are facts, besides even spoilers from people who have read the volumes in japanese tend to be very wrong, how have you not learned this by now?

Why? Facing overwhelming obstacles that bring their entire life and all their choices into question and then overcoming them is great for character development. I would say that's something Mikoto has been lacking since the beginning.

This may mean that I may never be able to read NT9 and NT11 because of suffering involving Touma and Misaki respectively.
