Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Mugino is actually a playable and fully-voiced character in the Index PSP fighting game that came out more than two years ago. It's nice to see that she's reprising her role.

Indeed. I find her voice great as well just as much as Fre nda


By the way, did anyone else notice that Mugino said Fre nda / Fren da when she was talking to her at the very end of the episode XD.


Haha. I heard that. Makes me wanna go all out with the Fre|nda jokes but I think I'll just go half-way instead.

BTW, did any of the novel readers notice the irony of this statement?


I made a horrible, undignified snort of a laugh at that moment.

I see you poking fun at me for me freaking out about the opening lolz. I admit I was being pretty dumb. I appreciate the arc done this way as well. I am kind surprised we saw a 2 and a 3 rating. Why would someone rate this low? Oh wait, because they're trolls whose input is stupid. That's right.

Misaka is so badass. She looked great with the hat and shorts.

I love this gif. It makes me strangely happy :) I think Frenda's got the best voicing this season. Kuroko and Mikoto have had their moments too. Hopefully Saten, Touma, Uiharu(?), Mugino, Accelerator, will get their moments to shine as well.

To be honest I thought so too, but then there's the fact that she's number 3 in a city full of espers. Unless it's a complete disadvantage, she's pretty much unmatched by anyone who isn't a Level 5 AFAIK.

I don't like Kinuhata's voice it feels different form what I imagined from her character. Meanwhile everyone else in ITEM has great VA, I love Frenda voice.

Same here and I cant say I like Rikou's either.Maybe if she gets more lines I might change my mind.

And the OP with Misaka wearing the Tokiwadai uniform while fighting Fre nda should prove the validity of that scene and the ones following it.

Moe life that is, she doesn't give a shit about how many peoples' lives the cute little assassin would end. I bet the mercs are going to be indirectly killed by someone else, would be the typical approach to save the hero's "morality" while conveniently getting rid of the problem. We'll see, hope I'm wrong anyway.

The actual fight was of good quality though, so + for that.

She's a 14 years old child for god"s sake... Do you often cross the path of a 14 years old girl who kill people just because they can? Misaka is supposed to be the only really sane character among the level 5, that's basically her trademark even more than her railgun move. Why do you want Misaka to be just a plain level 5 rather than someone who still have her complete sanity. We already have Accelerator for this as a main character (and he's awesome enough while being the only main character like that, thanks). There is no need for a second main character with exactly the same mentality, the two would overlap and Msiaka would be a mere female accelerator, talk about being boring.

You're basically suggesting that Misaka lose what makes her different from the other level 5, as well as a part of what makes her so awesome. Because it's so difficult to actually keep your sanity as a 14 year child with monstrous powers. If most of the level 5 were not able to bear it and have fallen, this should prove you how hard it is. Yet Misaka manages to stay on the right path, just like Kuroko who's bearing a really similar burden. If those two girls are awesome, that's also for this.

So in other words : hell no. Maybe near the end of the index series, why not; but definitely not before this.

Besides, if you want a version of Misaka who enjoy killing, we already have Misaka Worst who fils the bill...

You do realize that it's not up to normal citizen to decide of that kind of thing. If anything, stopping her without killing her and handing her to Antiskill would be the right path. Except that under those circumstances, Misaka can't really go explain what she was doing in the lab to antiskill, right. That's still not an excuse to become a killer.

Tbh i didn't like how she blocked her kick at that moment since Misaka has no martial arts knowledge or experience in that matter and that was a really precise block. But oh well this is a small detail i think ^^


Tokiwadai actually teaches their students martial arts (or at least self-defence), so it's not unlikely that Mikoto is able to block something like that :)

Easy. Level 5 does not automatically mean invincible. That is easily emphasized in Index (especially in the later events of the novels).

Keep dreaming. Kuroko arriving would defeat the purpose of Mikoto's actions and her character development. Besides, she's going to be super holding on by the skin of her teeth in the next episode.

Although, she may have lost the uniqueness of that thanks to
who seems to be pretty sane and rational (even more so than Mikoto) to me.

Well if the only options are to let a murderer who is still murdering go lose or to kill that murderer, then there's no reason aside from personal feelings to let the murderer go unless you value the life of the murderer more than the life of their future victims or have the will/power/confidence/tenacity to prevent any future murders by said murderer.

Of course, as you said an alternative would be preferable in any case. Though aside from crippling the girl or turning herself in with her, I can't think of any. Both of which are still way better than just letting her walk though which is by far the most naive selfish and stupid thing one can do and isn't "level headed" at all for this case.
