| Still as cheesy as the original scene in Index. And Touma is still one of the most boring protagonists I've ever seen, so generic -_- I wanted to watch Railgun and not Index, geez... |
| about the bridge scene, Ways to go to make lady swoon Touma lol |
| Such a good episode,got me not as emotional as some of my favorite anime,but still pretty strong for the standards of this franchise. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Kuroko is such a pervert. Love her. Also the fact that Touma was able to console Misaka. Awesome. Dude has a heart. Also his plan is great. Never thought of that before. Let's see if Accelerator beats Touma in the fight. Even though the hero's supposed to win, I favor Accelerator on this one. Touma is so overpowered with his hand of nil. And Accelerator is the coolest character ever. Little different from how it was in Index episode 11. Gonna watch Index 12 now. I think I prefer chronological order. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
Cloudy said: AWWW MY GOOOOOOOOOD. This episode was godlike. Like really it was sooooooooooooooo well made. Touma was so cool stopping her like that. Misakas face and tears after the battle. Touma petting her head. So perfect. I'm sure that is the moment she completely fell for him :P Aside from that the new ending(unless it was a special end just for this ep) was so fitting <3 AND THE PREVIEW. NEXT WEEK IS GONNA BE AMAZING. I can honestly say that this is JC best work BY FAR. I HAVE NO complaints whatsoever. 10/10 apologies to necro this discussion, but I just finished watching this episode in order to catch up and finish Railgun in time for s3 of Toaru Index...and I gotta say...this scene was thousands of times better than the Index version, by far. Now that doesn't mean I'm not completely looking forward to Index s3, but I do hope for Railgun s3 at some point in time. |

| Touma and Misaka scene was nice. |
 |
| cat is strong af unaffected by that AOE attack |
| The bridge scene was very sad. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| ok wow it was so awesome watching it second..it was similar but not so similar... |
 |
| Kinda sad how this is the peak of the Index franchise we will ever see. J.C are good at adapting everything that isn't the mainline Index. But yea an absolutely amazing episode! Sisters Arc from Railgun S is probably one of the best arcs I've seen in Anime. Amazingly put together, soundtrack on point, decent animation and emotional when it has to be. Fantastic |
 |
| We're sailing bois |
 |
| The deja vu with Misaka and Touma on the bridge opposite each other is again reality, but this time it takes on a more poignant meaning and a more romantic flavor, in some ways. Great episode, the next one is the decisive one! |
 |
| One of the best episodes, very emotional and that bridge scene was fantastic. Fantastic soundtrack also. Looking forward for more! |
| Hm.. So that's how Kuroko thinks, huh?.. ;P Interesting.. "Normal people have normal thoughts they just wouldn't admit out loud.. Like kissing backpack of the one they love or stealing their bicycle seat part.." Ok then.. Well, examples may be a bit extreme, but it's still interesting that Kuroko thinks like this.. ;P Hm, so Misaka had longer talk about sisters with Touma, it seems.. That's a good thing to know.. And also about her plan to die.. We didn't get it in Index, I think.. Even if I felt that this might be the case, what she'd try to do.. And with Tree actually destroyed, her plan indeed makes some sense.. It's at least more than not trying or doing anything at all, right?.. Though.. She also could try to think of solutions together with her friends.. Not just decide to go die by herself.. Maybe together with Uiharu, Saten and Kuroko - maybe they'd be able to think of some other way.. Of maybe how to save at least some of Misakas, for example.. Smuggling them, maybe.. Or kidnapping one, and tinkering with her system, looking what works.. There could be other ways, perhaps.. Yeah, maybe they wouldn't work as well, or who knows.. But Misaka really could talk it out with her friends.. Being Misaka is suffering.. Well, to be honest, though.. Now that we know from Railgun's side.. That it was also city's main rulers behind experiments as well.. Well, as cameras were being turned off and stuff.. It doesn't make really too much sense.. That some doubt among scientists stopped the experiments.. So what that Tree is destroyed?.. Misakas imoutos are still only animals to experimenters, and if there still is slight chance of possibility to reach level 6?.. Come on, city rulers probably know anyway about Touma's powers.. Outcome doesn't actually make much sense, to be honest.. On the other hand, glad we got more of depressive Misaka, how she looked at all situation.. We had almost no of this in Index, really.. Not knowing about her position and feelings at all pretty much.. But we got more here.. |
| omg this is the best episode so far! as i always say, misaka x touma scenes are definitely the best! let's see if touma really can fight accelerator. |
 |
| Easily the best Index/Railgun edition so far for me, I love how intertwined this series is between Index and Railgun, brilliantly directed and animated. A lot more emotional this time around as well. |
| This shit is kind of cheesy. But I don’t mind; I’m fact, I’m really loving it. Why? Because with all the goofy shit that kuruko and Saten and the chick with the bouquet of flowers in her hair, this is actually quite refreshing. After all the filler BS from the first season of railgun, I actually WANT my serious, dark and somber tones, some tears and some cheesy lines. I do NOT want shirai san yelling onee sama every ten seconds. Kind of sad rn tbh. Only 2 more episodes to this arc. I’m led to believe that this sisters arc is like the crowning jewel of the entire index/railgun universe, and is just about the best it has to offer. Everything else that follows, in the main index series, and even the latter part of this season of railgun S and even railgun T, are all going to be subpar or even perhaps insufferable. That said, I’m glad the world of index was able to at least give us this sisters arc, and I’m going to remember it well. |

| After seeing this episode, I honestly don't realise why people hate Touma so much, like this guy just wants everybody to live a good happy life and is always ready to help anybody even if it means danger for himself, what's wrong with that?? P.s- That brief conv part between Touma and Misaka was so well done, the first anime scene to make me cry after such long..😭 |

| So cheesy but so fantastic to watch. |
| omfggggg love this eps so much |
| My God, This episode hit right in the kokoro ❤🩹 Amazing Episode 👏 |
 |
| Watching this almost a decade after this episode aired, I can't help but wish I had experienced it back then as I would have appreciated it even more. The scene where Touma gently pats her head nearly brought me to tears – a bittersweet moment indeed. Also I really liked the OST in this episode, hope its out there somewhere. |
| 09:44 People must be sacrificed to make progress, especially in real life. I know I'm one of those sacrifices. In fact, I think everyone alive today is a sacrifice so that people in the 22nd or 23rd century can live in a post-scarcity utopia. 15:00 It looks like Misaka is unaware of a much more powerful entity doing all the calculations & ruling over Academy City. I'm guessing that's why the experiment continued unhindered without the Sky Tree and dozens of labs destroyed. Nice Touma x Mikoto moments + that ED. However, all that drama could've been avoided if Touma told her immediately that he'll fight Accelerator and mess up the data. That could've saved them some time too. Nonetheless, it was still good drama. |
| Quite possibly my favorite scene from the index series and its so amazing to watch it again in this series. I mean I know I have already watched it. I know what will happen in this episode. I remember everything so clearly yet still its so emotionally captivating that I had to watch it again. Beautiful episode. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Misaka shattering like that and opening up for the very first time made a grown ass man cry ,bravo JC staff.It was perfect.Misaka bearing through it all ,finding her effort being nullified and coming upto the conclusion of ending herself should have sucked up all her strength,made her all the more humane.Atlast time to beat the psychopath. |
| Kuroko was op!! overpowered I say |
