the black sphere was definitely a supernatural power, if not the IB would have been destroyed.

Honestly, I compare the situation of this chapter with what happened ..

^ W-what? No, in-spoiler is a completely different case. On one hand, it was shown in here that IB negated something before getting pushed back. On the other hand, IB couldn't negate that thing in-spoiler at all.

What matters is that IB was intact even after touching the black sphere.
Okay now, I'm lost. What do you mean by "IB is intact"?
I mean, IB is something ethereal we can't even see, so what are you guys trying to say?
I assume you're talking about the right hand.
Secondly, how can you guys tell his right hand was still intact anyway?
From that single panel where it was sent flying? Unless you have 4th wall breaking X-ray eyes that permitted you to confirm that his right hand's bones weren't in pieces, I honestly think you shouldn't take things like that for granted. Coupled with the ability to confirm that there was no damage done to the skin either, of course.

Touma put his right palm in the black sphere, and as his arm went flying, the palm was visibly intact, I mean it showed no signs of injury, there was blood coming out or signs that had broken, I am making a description of what the picture shows, if we begin with "if", then this discussion will last longer than One Piece.

IB = power that resides inside of the right hand, it is natural to think that if it comes in contact with a supernatural power and the right hand does not get injured, it is intact.

I did not understand why what happens in this chapter can not be compared to

He gently touched the sphere instead of waving his hand like he usually does against massive powered phenomenons. No wonder his arm got ripped off.
is important to remember that before vol 20, Touma did not know how to properly defend himself from large masses of supernatural power.

I just read the chapter and that little moment with Touma's talk to Mikoto was just so sweet. But now...Mikoto has Touma's sweaty coat...
*five seconds later*
Mikoto-*sniff**sniff**inhale*

Oh yeah...and on the topic of the Black Sphere attack, LevelSeven is somewhat right. It's more like Accelerator's plasma attack during the Sisters Arc...wow...what's with that parallel?
Are all Level 6 shifts supposed to end in the subject creating a superdestructive attack?

Ok, well we have it stated very directly that it wasn't an esper power. Are you saying the sphere was magic? That sounds like quite the stretch. It not being an esper power pretty much says that it is NOT a supernatural power because there is absolutely nothing to suggest magic was involved at all.

Its probably a natural phenomenon created as a result of something supernatural and not supernatural itself which is why she said it isn't an esper power and why IB didn't do anything. So since it was mentioned, think Curtana's actual attack which IB doesn't work on (or Accel's already mentioned plasma).

open your mind, buddy, not everything in this world (or from another world that comes to the Universe To aru) needs to be esper power or magic, we have IB like evidence and the other powers of Touma (probably), this black sphere may well be an unknown supernatural power.

It was a phase power from the aeon of Horus? She was at level 5.5 or so.... I'm guessing level 6 is beyond just science...

I think you're exaggerating a bit.

Fine,

Just read the chapter, one second ago.

It's not Horus.

Perhaps it has to do with some secret with desire just like Hiss13 said with the Accelerator plasma ball. There's likely some connection there.

Also, Gunha seeing the dragon was the best thing ever, and Mikoto's expression was hilarious. And yes, she was not naked.

That was the best chapter ever!!!

I still don't know what she meant by isn't an esper power, but I find that intriguing...

I do not understand this fixation of yours to Touma see Mikoto naked. I must be a pure boy.

^^ MAYBE only maybe this was a small foreshadowing of a divine power similar with accels wings, if this is the case than i can also understand why IB couldnt stand against it for a second.... i mean his white ones, we already saw that his black ones can be partially negated...

which lets me think white wing > Level xx mikoto (because accel could use a inexplicable power and was mostly sane) > black wings (because IB could negate b.w. but not black sphere....

also have to take into account the scale of power, not only the type, as I said before, Touma has already been launched for hundreds of meters and IB could not take even a second when he was confronted with an intense blast of Telesma in Index. and we all know he can destroy weapons of Telesma, but in that situation the IB failed.

It actually showed no sign of being "uninjured" either. By that I meant that you really can't tell. That was the point I was making.

LOL, that was a nice expression for Mikoto (and Touma) upon seeing the reattached and unscathed arm.

Next frame they seem to be going: - Just what are you? - Don't ask me

So... what IS that metal at the end? something related to Mitori? or something else? At any rate, seems like everything is still not quite "settled".

I would presume that is the case for all unstable shifts. Meaning that probably only Accelerator or Kakine would be able to do so without that super/selfdestructing "attack"

wouldn't that black stuff be made out of the same thing as the black wings? dark matter or something like that.

wouldn't all that metal on the ground at the end be the shadow metal the girls were after at the beginning of the arc?

I think it's so refreshing how deep Mikoto understands her own powers. She knew exactly was going on as soon as she gain consciousness again even if it's something that she never had experienced before.

So shadow metal!?

Yeah, it could be, I had completely forgotten about it.

... Then I guess the arc is indeed settled and we are moving on to the epilogue next chapter.

For some reason Saten's crazy ideas always turn out to be true at the end.

Nah, just that all urban legends have truth to them.

Oh also what I want is a fast forward to be closer to the Index novels. It's so ridiculous how far behind they are it makes the events of the manga have less impact on the readers. Even though this arc was fantastic, can't wait still they animate it.
