Ah, I just went back to the text and it's explicitly stated as a scientific attack:

Because he used cutting edge science to such a great extent, Birdway did not understand what exactly had happened, but even so, her smile did not disappear.

Ot could be that is form of attack whose activation can't be detected like the one used on Fiamma or can't be comprehended like the one used by Ollerus.

EDIT:
It doesn't seem so but, still wonder what of "science" has that attack.

Some nostalgy could be the reason as well.

Even so, ZnT was never a big seller like Shana or Index/Railgun. I doubt the resources allocated to it will prevent another season of Index/Railgun from being made that year.

Yeah yeah, usually its just minor bruises on her to the point of passing unnoticed... mmm... but in the other hand during the Sister Arc at leats she had a major mind break to compesate it at least once time in the series.

Some publicity can do wonders. And no, there is no way one series can prevent other from being made, just remember JC produced another 3 series along with Index II. It doesn't means those series will have a great quality if you know what I mean recalling that season .

I'm sure you do realize that not only bloody injuries left aches days after you suffer from it. Heavy bruises also left aches days, sometimes even weeks after you suffer on it, especially for "normal" girl like Mikoto(normal as in she's not used to fight in a serious battle with her life on the line) so it's not exactly plot hole for her to say her body still ache from the injuries she got during the Level Upper incident.

Touma is just an exception, his body is too sturdy to be just fine in a matter of days after a life threatening injuries.

From the manga after Level Upper arc, both Mikoto and Kuroko are cleaning the pool as punishment, none of them seem to be aching from pain.
From the anime, beach episode and Saten's afterschool lessons, same here, it wasn't properly adressed.

With Tsuchimikado was enough to send him to the hospital during the Angel Fall, though.

But you're talking about Tsuchimikado here, not a random thug... and the backstabber doesn't pull back his punches.

Anyway, Touma does seem to have an unnatural healing ability, perhaps even better than Tsuchimikado's level 0 regeneration... Of course, it could be all thanks to Heaven Canceller's abilities, but even him called Touma's body a piece of fantasy

I had a theory that Mikoto's body (Or rather any Esper body) adapted itself to better suit using their new found powers like immunity to electricity, and possibly a harden body structure to withstand the recoil force of her railgun attacks...

This is really, really trivial stuff -_- Hence I used the word anal.

Does it really make you feel better if she said 'ouch' after all that?

I mean, none of the fighting characters really show any long term injury side effects....

It's not the same level as from fighting Pendex, the Alchemist whose name is too hard to spell, and Accelerator.

Railguns do not have a recoil. Or at least her's shouldn't as the "barrel" is formed of air.

But acquiring electric immunity is definitely a must... perhaps it is part of the personal reality.

And yet he won against those, but not to Tsuchimikado (but yeah, his injuries were also quite worse on those fights)

If you add Kanzaki and Acqua to the list, Tsuchimikado barely slapped him in the face.

That's because Tsuchimikado had no Illusion for him to break...

My point is, even if he still got sent to the hospital, it's not the same 'class' of injury... Hell, Touma went to the hospital from food poisoning...

Touma can regrow severed limbs like a planarian or Piccolo from DBZ.

Nop, but in the manga Mikoto got exhausted, dirty and lose one of her shoes; in the anime she was just fine, it just needed to be a bit more graphic in that matter.

Besides Accelerator's and Touma's brain case there is Awaki's trauma which affects her esper abilities and Acqua who got handicapped after the Saint Destroyer spell and both Carrisa and Knight Leader pointed out he still is suffering the effect from his previous injuries.

The there was with just a above the average fighter was enough to send Touma to an hospital by knock out.

And with the addition of Stiyl SS part 2 they also added the manga pictures as well (at least those weren't there when I last read part 1) - Such Misfortune, Touma, ne?

Actually, I apologize as you were correct about the recoil.

I felt like I was forgetting something important so I looked into it... I really failed physics there.

Normal Ralguns do have a backward recoil and so should Misaka's. I first thought it would be only directed at the barrel but that's not the only reaction force. Damned law of conservation of energy...

Now, as how Misaka's Railgun should behave... I'm going to assume that she first tosses the coin and immediately after she forms the magnetic rails. In that case, the recoil would probably present itself as a push of air. So at least with a small coin launched at Mach 3 it should still be negligible as it would disperse around Misaka. If she were to use something a lot heavier (like the mecha arm in certain episode of the anime) then the air push would be a considerable amount, at least if she wanted to give the projectile enough momentum to reach a target at a 50m+ distance...

Only problem is there's nothing to magnetize past the initial push.

Mah, in any case my theory was that Esper's body slowly adapt itself to better suit using the Esper powers, like how Accelerator's hair turned white only that's a negative example

In this case, I suggested that Mikoto's body adapted itself to withstand the recoil of the Railgun. Or maybe something like Kuroko being able to survive moving through the 11th dimension.

Are you talking about the magnetic rails? In that case it does go beyond regular physics as she literally creates them out of thin air... but it's kinda part of the whole point that esper powers defy physics... ... perhaps all my argumentation about the recoil is ultimately pointless
