Not a baaad episode! The Accelerator vs. Touma fight was pretty good. I felt for Misaka 2.. she's doing much better than Ayanami Rei.

Why is it that Misaka's Sister 10032 can read Touma's heartbeat while holding his right hand? I though for sure that imagine breaker will block any ESP powers like detecting heartbeat, bloodpressure etc.

In the hospital, she said heartbeat and brainwaves are transfered via electricflow as she hold touma's hand on her chest. But remember on touma and misaki battle on the toaru kagaku no railgun, no electricity can flow on touma's right hand.

That not what I meant.What I am saying is that her statement was BS.Lets say that he doesnt have IB.Why would she need to put his hand in her chest?Why not just hold it?Her powers arent different in her chest.

Well the fight with Accelerator ended up in disappointment. I mean, does he really have to stand in front of everyone for 10 minutes to unleash some kind of ultimate power without expecting a retaliation in return?

The Sisters arc was of the best arc from the novels,yet this adaption of it was rather lackluster.

I see Railgun S focuses on the sister arc so hopefully that ended up being a better adaption.Just gonna have to wait and see.

I felt like MISAKA was hidding something. The way she didn't respond when he asked ''That will really save your body, right?'' make me believe that these adjustements are against Touma...

Anyway, the most important thing now is that she's able to stay with the kitty. Now, she can discover his most powerful attack : cuteness overload.

Accelerator biggest flaw is his lack of self-control. He could easily have killed him using his environment, but instead, he wanted him to suffer the most and to show-off by proving how much he have power. When coming in hand to hand, his vector make no difference (at least, the way he was using them ; could have used them to make his move faster, etc.) so that was a big fail on his part.

Misaka is such a tsundere. Buyiing cookies instead of saying ''thanks'', such a tsundere move xD

Ahhhh, here goes the beach episode. There is always one, always...

Touma's power is just stupid. It counters everything. I mean, a level 0 defeats the strongest lvl 5? What the hell ? How can he be level 0?
Anyways, I'm satisfied with this arc. And that's surprising because I don't like Misaka. Her clones are much better lol.
Kanzaki is back in hte preview. Yay.

It doesnt counter everything and the levels are assigned to espers based on how much the are valuable to the scientists.Touma isnt an esper and has 0 value to the scientists.

And he isnt the only one that can defeat a lvl 5.At least Touma HAS a power.

Accelerator went full retard at the end. He can change the velocity and direction of an object right? Which means he isn't actually creating something from his powers which is what touma counters.. So why not just trap touma and bombard him with steel planks or something like he was doing at the start?

The one time the antagonist decides to fight physically is the time when he doesn't need to and not to mention accelerator looks like he hasn't eaten for a week.

Is that Genki Dama/Spirit Bomb???

Accelerator defeated that easily???? LOL.
Just look at the Akatsuki from Naruto. They are very tough opponent that can't be defeated just by mere 2 or 3 episode. I thought the fight will last like 3 episodes but never mind.

Accelerator evil laugh is the best thing in this show.

Nice ending to MISAKA Arc.

Touma sure went to hospital a lot, haha.

Next episode sure is promising.

Hmm... why is everyone liking on Accelerator? There's at least 5k members liking him. Well maybe he'd change to ally or something, but he's just completely a jerk and asshole to Misaka clones.

Misaka 10032 is clearly lying... she used his right hand to touch her chest... while we know that Touma's right hand DISPEL anything and anything. So there is no way she could listen his heartbeat. WHICH MEANS! Misaka 10032 is clearly in love with Touma that she wants "one last touch" thing.

2 more harem additions to Touma... The doctor will end up in his harem too if he visits the hospital all the time.

Is it wrong to love a robotic Misaka and real Misaka at the same time? Because I'm all for it.

In the end, I liked the episode. The confrontation sort of ended in an anticlimax, but I thought the involvement of Mikoto and the MISAKA clones was cool.

Rather, it's Accelerator himself that I found disappointing; he's just a psychopath with OP abilities. I honestly find it kind of disturbing that so many people like him, knowing that he has killed over ten thousand clones. Plus he has zero redeeming qualities, as far as I know. And I also didn't like that Touma didn't get all that creative either; he knocked Accelerator out with a single punch, as many times before.

I really like the MISAKA clones, and I'm happy for the ones that can now live, though with a reduced life span. I might even find them more likable than Mikoto, though I still think Mikoto is cool. For example, Mikoto may have anger management issues, but that makes her a bit more three dimensional, and I like that.

However, I found the part where Touma's hand is on the MISAKA clone's breast pretty dumb. It didn't seem to add anything to the scene (which shouldn't have been comedic), she could have just held his hand normally without any pandering.

Needs more development between Touma and Mikoto... she's still best girl compared to the rest.

Accelerator being overconfident and no good in a fist fight made sense. I still would have preferred a more creative use of imagine breaker than just punching him in the face though. Since the sisters bailed him out of the plasma bomb situation it didn't really feel like Touma actually beat him. Also the way they finalised it didn't really hint that Accelerator would be back looking for revenge against Touma. Which seems strange. I'm assuming he'll probably be back later and maybe have some kind of redemption, but in the immediate future I would have thought he'd be pretty keen on repairing the damage to his ego.

Also I only just realised that shot of a satellite being destroyed when Index used Dragons Breath was what Misaka was referring to last episode, when she said the super computer had been destroyed by some unknown blast

The fight was realistic. However, in Railgun S,it is quite overblown. I can't forgive them for that.

Also, what happened to Accelerator-kun? I hope we get his real name soon. Touma should really not be greedy for his harem though, asking for homemade cookies and finger boob grabs.

But the final scene with Index and Touma was heartwarming. Nice to see that Index was worried about Touma. I ship them the most.(I don't care about Misaka and Touma. To be frank, Misaka x Kuroko is my next favorite ship. That is, until
comes and falls in love with Accelerator.)


Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.

Accelerator is physically weak, so he's defeated by Touma.

Well, the fight was much better in Railgun S. Here, it lacked many things. Not bad anyway. Also, the ending of this arc too.

So how long after hormones slower growth treatment will be able to live robotic Misakas?.. A year?.. Or for how long?..
Classic "they wouldn't blame you" for anything.. It works at times of guilt sometimes, I guess..
Well, I'm satisfied with how robotic Misaka was portrayed.. She's quite cute, had development with cat, her stoic expressions and talking from third person is quite enjoyable.. She's a very enjoyable character.. ;p
Some beach fanservice and family backstory episode next?..

Railgun version of this fight was definitely improved although there were some areas where I prefered this version, namely the electrical effects on the wind turbines as the Sisters started reversing their rotation.
Thinking about this arc overall, it doesn't feel like it should've actually been part of the story at all considering it had nothing to do with Index or the magic society. Guessing that it was likely a drawn out way to highlight the effectivness of Imagine Breaker and Touma's friendship with Misaka and fight with Accelerator. Hoping to see some eventual outcomes shake things up as a result of this.
