To Aru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Discussion (Archives)

[LazyHunter]

After finally doing all of my exams I start wondering how much I'd missed. Turns out a lot

The new novel seems to be fine, if a bit chaotic but hopefully the details will make it awesome like they did with NT 6. I'm really pumped up for Touma+Kakine duo but it will probably be short. Now to catch up with all of the anime series of the season I was watching.

Spoiler for Human Brain and Hisako:

So, Rensha, a cyborg body with an artificial brain in tact. But to use ESP power, actually human brain is still required. And those human brains......

Well, everything started when the Misaka clones turned out to be failure. They are biological identical to Misaka, so why they aren't as powerful? The answer is that they become a different person. Everyone have this "secret of life" in their brain that defines who they are and serves as the master portion of the brain, and this is beyond the control of genetics. The portion of the brain that generates ESP power is just the salve portion of the brain. In other words, the "secret of life" is just a obstacle to the scientists that only want the ESP portion part. So what to do? Get rid of the "secret of life", to the they can have a pure chunk of ESP generating brain.
The result? many test subjects have 99.99% of their brain grind away, with their "secret of life" aka their humanity completely removed. What's left of their brain is just a tiny dot that generates ESP, to be put inside Rensha to channel AIM for that mechanical body.

Further surprise, it is Hisako who saved all those test subjects! That is why all the Rensha are so loyal to her. And Hisako was not a insane mad women originally. Hisako went insane because that female Kihara in the white suit copied her thinking pattern into Hisako's mind Dark May Project style.
Hisako was being used and abused by the Kihara all along!

BTW, Kakine network is simply too perfect. I guess that is why Aleister optioned the easier to control No.3 as the building block for Imaginary School District.

Everytime a mad scientist is involved, he/she MUST be a Kihara eh....For all we know Aleister may be a Kihara too

This Kihara Yuiitsu is far more involved and recurring than the others before her, save maybe for Gensei but Gensei hides far back behind scenes more than her.

Too bad Aleister isn't a Kihara. He used to be a magician.

Given the direction Kamachi seems to be going these days, I won't be surprised he's an honorary member

From index 1 to NT6 is concerned. out of 20 saints how many were revealed(cause the only ones i remember were kanzaki, acqua of the back and the one misaka fought in NT6)?

Don't forget Silvia. At the same time, don't forget that Acqua of the Back is no longer a Saint and just a normal magician.

Kamichi.exe reoccurring theme in TAMI is that everyone is a hero in his or her own right, in spite of ones weakness , ones doubt and not always knowing the answer , goes ahead persevered and overcame

I didn't, there's Kanzaki, Acqua, Brunhild, and Silvia. That makes 4 not including Alisa from Miracle of Endymion who based on the spoiler is the 9th Saint (if I remember correctly).

We need to put Beetle 05 in a Batman Suit. That would make for an awesome fanfic. Dark Matter Batman, one who prowls in the night to protect all of loli-kind

[kaizerknight01]

why batman??? He should be a Kamen Rider

The hero of justice role is already Gunha's, Kakine should conforms himself with the sidekick role.

So... the Beetle is doing merchandise of himself to keep eyes on little girls?

I would think Aleister is more like a landlord than family head...

Apparently, to be a Kihara you must be naturally smart and twisted. Aleister most likely fits the first criteria, but not so sure about the second one.

I'm mainly using Enshuu a a basis here, since she's the one with the most backstory on how you become a full fledged Kihara that I know.

Using his wife as Aiwass' vessel and sacrificing girls of the same age as his deceased daughter isn't twisted enough for you...

We still don't know how it went in this iteration. From what Aiwass said it sounds more like he tried to be a hero and failed miserably. If I remember that part correctly, that is

So... can anyone who read the last book relase share with us about the book's epilogue and author's words?

I want to know what kind of hints Kamachi left for the future plot.
