ArcticMech said: I guess it will be unfair if Tauma came in,He might just touch the monster by one touch and everything is solve ~.~ Biri biri is much more enjoying4kicks said: I bet if Touma was there, his unlucky but useful ability could stop that giant baby-thing in an instant, destroy the network, and probably even wake those children form their comas with just a touch of a hand...like Jesus Thanks for that. Gave me a good laugh. Anyway, nice way to close that arc. Action was very well done and the episode was over before I knew it. |
| OHMIGODDDDDD. The fangasming that took place during those 23 minutes was excellent. Just to let you all know. |

| this episode is amazing! |
     I am formerly known as "AnimePrincezz" on MAL, I change my username to "Rinjii", the Japanese name for my real name. |
| Quite nice....I can't wait to see what the next arc is going to be. |
| Ehh, I sure hope I wasn't the only one to see obvious phallic imagery. Huge image. |
| Looks like a filler ep after this guys =/ |

This was the best I have seen in this serie. From Misaka's fighting in this episode to Uiharu's bravery to Kiyama's true feelings and determination of not giving up for the kids to it was all great. I especially loved how Saten at the end said to Uiharu of how she would lose something more than powers. BTW No one is a defect but only society sees them like that many people told me because I am farmer I am a simpleton...yeah? Well I will tell you that farmers put food in raw form to you all....even to restaurants to be prepared if it were not us.....you would have a harder time to do science/engineering with no food in your stomachs (although I thank technology that made some things easier for farmers). In other words just because Saten does not have any powers does not mean her friendship and emotions are useless....they are a great help and can be to many others. I was astonished how beautifully it was done when Misaka shattered the monsters' ice attack with her iron sand and I will be looking for other animes that have such great effects too (you are open to suggest on my profile) I was really surprised the monster could attack like that..it was so much power but more worried I was when Uiharu was hit if she would not be damaged too much (as you can see from my avatar I like her a lotNeeds more Touma! because he would be cooler to be seen fighting with Misaka in this episode. |

| That's what I call an epic and well-directed battle. One of the best fight I've seen in any anime this year, for the best episode of the series for now. Quite the entertaining show, at least not crappy as was Index. |

| A certain epic battle in a certain awesomely animated show with a certain lovely mid-season ending. That's how I'd sum up this episode. So new age yoga music is the cure to a bunch of raging Level Upper users, eh? Seems next episode we'll be getting some fanservice in a fillers. To be honest I don't even mind. This show mixes humor with action quite well and some comedy relief isn't bad after the first arc, which was quite touching especially with the Uiharu moments (so cute), kudos to her seiyuu. Besides, who doesn't want to see Kuroko's reaction surrounded by 3 other girls in bikinis and swimsuits. :p |

sbyrstall said: Haha its true,but unlike Misaka,Touma doesn't like to show off.The incident in the shopping mall show very clear.From what you said bout the human nature,Did you meant "Sometimes those who have the higher skills/status (like Misaka) and tend to forget the importance of the higher skills/status (like Misaka)?but each person has its own spacial abilities and trait.So no point jealous over it, just improve the current skill you have <<the moral of this arc i guess ^^ Saten's special abilities is her smile i guess( and she almost loose it -.-" )Sometimes those who have the higher skills/status (like Misaka) and tend to forget thier beginnings. It seems to be human nature. At least Misaka is surrounded by people of all levels, including Touma, to keep her humble. Accelerator never had that until Touma. |
| It was very good episode, and it have awesome fights in it. Biribiri and her electricity are so powerful as I imagine completely. I am very disappointed with AIM burst since Biribiri killed it in an instant. This episode has a nice end to the arc, and I can’t wait for Accelerator arc and next episode as well. |
toratiger said: we're not suppose to, this is railgun not index +2000. Some people just need to freacking insert this sentence in their head. The next arc will be good shit, no touma for a while with lots of Misaka awesomeness and Accelerator overpowering everything :3. |

flame_tiong said: lol every1 know what is coming next... ... why is there a nuclear experiment facility at there?...=.= dont tell me it is a lab related to imouto arc No no, they just needed a motivation for Misaka to srsly stop it so they threwed a classic there. |

Oosran said: sbyrstall said: Makes me wonder... Just how powerful would a level 6 be then? If this is level 5 O.oAnyways, DAMN!!! That's Level 5?? IMO to have such a variety of electrical powers, both offensive and defensive, that should be level 6. Well, apparently it takes Accelerator to kill around 20 (or something like that) Railguns to get to lv 6. And since there's only one, hence the "need" for an army of 20, 000 weaker versions of the original to enable him to get enough battle experience to achieve lv 6. Besides, she's the third strongest lv 5 in the city, Accelerator being #1. |

Accelerator....wondering how he will be in this serie since in the first one he was so cruel until Touma changed him and he saved that young clone. This is all after this serie so he should be cruel still....I would think. The imouto arc in Railgun is the same as the one in Index, this time it only focus on Misaka unlike in Index where it focused on Touma, things you saw in Index may not appear in Railgun but they did happened or are least they are supposed to. Anyway Accelerator is not really cruel, he just didn't had an easy life Sceptyk said: Touma should've got enough experience to lvl 5 since he beat Accelerator. It is not an rpg, you don't get experience point when you defeat someone. The imouto project is made so that they train Accelerator in every aspect giving different scenario to stress his body so that he can use his ability further and thus finally reach level 6. Usually you can't train much an ability in battle before it can be of some use, An exemple would be Kuroko, if she would aim to be level 5 she wouldn't train in battling but probably by aiming with her teleport ability in different state (while not moving, jumping, running, with her eyes shut, one eye shut, ..etc) and she would also train how much weight she can actually teleport. Actually teleporting is a great ability since she could teleport attack aimed at her as well as teleport her own attack in the ennemy defense to do a point blank shot, she just isn't at the level to do this. Also level 0 don't get an ability, ever, no matter how much they train. No matter how weak an ability is it can get to level 5 someday, a level 0 won't EVER get to level 1. Imagine breaker is not an ability and I don't beleive it is magic as well. |
