To Aru Majutsu no Index - Light Novel - New Testament Volume 17 Speculation/Theories

[vixyw]

So, they are going to give some more focus on the ghost girl... that's good. I was quite curious about her since she was first mentioned.

After 12+ volume, touma has a new clothes design....which will go back to normal after this arc, but anything new is welcome

[dniv]

I wonder if the blurred figure in the background is someone important or just a bystander... seems a bit too intentional if you ask me...

Throwing out a random guess, but maybe it's the elusive #6 that we know gives people new identities (or another #6 imposter).

Thanks for the cover!

Yeah, I got the same feeling. At first I thought it could be Kamisato, but upon closer inspection, it seems to b a female because it's wearing what looks like to be a skirt. I'm betting on Yuiitsu if her top is a lab coat, but I may be wrong about that.

Uh... Was there a need to use Google Translation when afrafstos already translated the summary just a few posts ago?

Nonetheless, interesting cover even if I don't think Bibendum Touma will be to my fancy in any other way but comedic for very long.

[Kuroageha]

Will it deliver? Or will it be Touma again failing again like NT10 after he made his declaration on the previous book?

I'll better keep my expecations low.

That's the most appropiate thing to do with all the NT series

Simple, its Touma's new harem member

Oh it's Yuuitsu?
lol


I do wonder what it is though for sure but got to wait till the volumes comes I guess.


That Fran girl has some JUSTICE though. lol Better than that damn cumbersome PLOT.

First of all, once again I bet that Touma's face will be covered by the title in the sales version.

Second, seems that we may finally have a successful case of NTR in this series...

[Marcus H.]

So "tadori-ya" is actually "tracer". Anyway, I already made a translation attempt over at the wiki.

I could only hope that the faction war is interesting to read—I'd expect Touma to punch the shit out of the deluded Kamisato Faction.

[felc57]

Not my comment, but this is from redditor /u/limiter_remove from one particular thread from the Toaru Majutsu no Index subreddit.

"If Touma saves Kamisato it basically means he's able to bring back people from wherever Kamisato's hand sends them. It'll essentially mean he's rendered Kamisato's power useless. "

I found this to be quite an interesting theory that is important to this discussion. I agree that it would make Kamisato's buildup fall completely flat. Maybe there is more to Kamisato's power that we are unsure of.

I myself think NT have bet great. Specally NT8-NT10 which I think was a little better then WWIII Arc. It have had it up and down but I think it better then OT but that just what I think.

Don't put your opinions out here! Haters will destroy you!!!

Jokes aside, if the magic gods are back, what will be their first reaction though? Too bad high priest won't come back

[RPG_Fanatic]

No real extra hints about what happens in the cover synopsis. Still not clear if anyone else will join Touma's side to help him. One month to go.

mostlikely they will be nerfed bigly and than vanish from the story

[OH&S]

Hmm, so one thing that no one has commented on yet is the listed price of the volume. 710 yen. Its easily the most expensive Index volume yet. Does this also mean its the longest volume pagewise as well? Regardless, its going to be a long one.
