| Hahah, nice, awesome reasoning for developing the Level Upper xD That's right, that's what I'd do if I needed to run a complicated calculation : D Awesome stuff dude, Kiyama, in control of all the 10k connected esper powers, that's one terrifying woman : D Oy, if she says she doesn't want to hurt anyone, just let her do the research she was going to do instead : D Anyway, the only thing I'm curious about, is what exactly are the higher-ups of Academy City hiding about the powers? : o "Child errors"? O.o I'm intrigued, gief moar : D Also, kids.. Damn annoying stuff. Loli in bath lol Those kids were actually pretty mean to her too D: Although.. That old man is probably worse, wth dude that guy's insane O.o See? That's what I was saying, what if she had some kind of "noble" goal behind making the Level Upper? Which I'd say she had. Tl;dr lol ghostthingy? |

At least the spin off doesn't feature a plot entirely centered around the main character questing for his harem this time. Please don't compare this series to Kampfer... It's just wrong. P.S.: Shikabane Hime was disappointing, you shouldn't be complaining about Railgun. Tottaly agreed with you wakka aand maxime1007 said: Falatorx said: The fight was actually pretty good until the whole "oops i was still alive and now i'm going to electric hug you" scene. Totally lame way to end a good fight. It doesn't show off Misaka's powers at all and it doesn't give the feeling of her being the underdog. Kiyama is a level 0, she got ability through the network but she probably never fought once in her live, she have potential to be stronger than Misaka but at this point it is useless. Her blowing Misaka would has been more ridiculous than the opposite. Also you need to not worry about seein Misaka ability since that the network is now out of control and it's ability to fight is surhuman and it has all the skill Kiyama had. Falatorx said: Their method of showing Kiyama's memories was pretty questionable. Misaki shocks her via touch and now she witnesses those specific memories? Don't they have writers? I suppose they needed a way to get The Truth to Misaka though anhd their infamously bad writers couldn't think of anything else. Sorry but no, memories are electric signal so it make sense this way. Also soon it will be hinted that Misaka has the potential of creating a network like the level upper because with electric signal she could use synthesia and connect brain patern herself tough she's still far from this level at the moment. It means that Misaka has the potential to become a dual skill. You could say that in the heat of the moment she used her power to a new level. Falatorx said: This series might finally answer the question i've had since watching index though. Why students in the city spend all of their time learning about useless theories surrounding their powers. They all can't be specialists in the field so one day they would presumably need to get a job that isn't an ability specialist, yet their schooling system spends 100% of its time teaching them about abilities. Because ability user will have a work related to that. The world is large and Academy city has the role of teaching about esper power's, if you want to study something else you will go to another city if there isn't the course you want there. I mean they probably has other important course but don't expect random course there. And why the fuck would they show our protagonist in a math class anyway it would be out of context. Ability are related to science, physic, math and biologie, I also expect them to have a language course or two add to that two or three course about the esper poweritself and you get a session running. Falatorx said: Will be interesting to see what they do with the fetus formed from all of that power. I sincerely hope that they don't have a stereotypical scene where Misaka faces off against it 1vs1. With these writers you never know though. These 'writer' like you said are quite logicical, more than most series anyway, because you don't know about something don't mean it is absurb. And to respond to your question Falatorx said: This does remain the most overrated series in the recent past though. I'd put it on Kampfer level at this rate. At least the spin off doesn't feature a plot entirely centered around the main character questing for his harem this time. Lolwut Kampfer level? Look like it don't make sense to you when it's actually making some to everyone I know, wonder where you get this bad writting thing, especially with what you have on you fav bro. Pwned |

toratiger said: @maxime1007 yup i agree, even if touma was there, there was nothing he could do, considering how strong Kiyama is, theres no way he can cancel out attacks like that with one hand. touma is indeed WEAK, all he has is his lame street fighter skillz. so please guys, stop saying touma could just come out and kick everyone's ass, cuz hes the one that'll his ass kicked, easily. Yep yep, I would like to say that Kiyama is strong in the point of view that she has many ability but isn't that strong since she has no fightning experience, some level 4 could pull it off, I think that even Touma could maybe pull it off by himself with some condition. With training Kiyama could be a monster tough, if she had even only three hour to train herself I think that the result of this fight would has been different, thing is that she got her power all of a sudden and is pretty much shooting them randomly hopping to blow Misaka with power alone. Misaka didn't get serious yet, it has been stated that she's toying with Kiyama, wait for the imouto arc to see her real pissed off and how lucky of us the rest of the season will probably be on that :D. |
 |
| ... what in the world was with that ending O_O, didn't think the scientist would have a past like that but at least it answers the questions and possibly why she always seems tired (although that might be something different altogether). |
| fukken cliffhanger, and what's with that fetus ? does this incident have something to do with magic ? this show really need moar of Touma's epicness |

Also, it can't possibly get more obvious if someone (like maxime) says Misaka didn't get serious, I mean.. What else could it be? She's obviously gonna be even more badass later. |

| I hope the secrets of the leaders of Academy City are developed more. Can't wait for the next episode! |
| I thought that this was a solid episode. Good action, but I felt bad for the children! After learning more about Kiyama's back story and the secrets of the higher ups, it makes her actions a lot more reasonable. The progression of the story feels pretty good. I wonder what exactly this evil embryo will turn into. |

francismeunier said: protoman96 said: Is that necessary to understand something?they even skipped the cute explanatory images of how she knew it was coming (eyes in the back of her head). but harumi's story was so well done that i'll forgive that. francismeunier said: protoman96 said: What is the bad thing they are doing to make it so bad? I have some questions for you: What in the world is a makeshift shield with magnetic forces? i guess i should probably read the fourth volume of the manga at some point. i've actually been toying with watching the anime first, though, for a change of pace. but maybe i would regret that - ruining the manga by watching the anime first. the anime hasn't been as good as the manga. who knows. it was a lot more detailed in the manga what she did. "eyes in the back of her head" = she can see behind her using her ability and she dodged at the last second, also creating a fake body out of the surrounding rubble. they sort of glossed over that in the anime for time and i was sort of sorry to see it go - the diagram of her eyes in the back of her head had this really cute super deformed mikotosama in it. be sure to read the manga if you're interested in this stuff - it won't take you long to read all four volumes. francismeunier said: The whole hiding something about abilities and ability development not being humane nor safe.....does that lead to another plot in this serie that you would know of? yeah, you think that it would, but i don't know of anything else they're doing with it right now. maybe something happens in the index novels though - they are way ahead of everything else with lots of new characters and plots. |

| What the f*ck? Tentacle fetus monsters? Seriously? |
| Epic! Awesome ep =) Liked Kiyama's past wth the children. n OMG they killed Edasaki >> Ritsu's twin! ((from K-On, if someone doesn't know her)) liked mazui's comment: "Ritsu's an esper? That explains a few things..." loool. Kiyama is actually a good person, so actually I didn't like the wrong person when I fell in love with her xP. (she was a stripper lady even when she was still a teacher xDD) "I hate love children" seems like in next ep we're gonna have a tentacle monster o_O??! 5/5! Can't wait for some Misaka action next ep~! (no tentacle rape plz >.>") |
 When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. |
| Awesome episode. The fight scenes felt a bit short, but it was still amazing. lol tentacle monster next week? |
 |
| i really liked this episode i really want to know what the fetus was >.< i think i might have an idea but im not sure xD im probably wrong awesome fight scenes :) |
 |
| For your information it is not a real fetus, it is the materialisation of the network and the fact it take a fetus form is just a way to tell the viewer that the network did not matured yet. |
|
| Awwww whyd kiyama have to lose, she was AWESOME :D Best episode so far actionpacked and emotional! I hope Kiyama is ok although I have a feeling she isn't after having a Fetus come out of her head lolz |
 |
| Holy sh*t |
| I've been wanting to find out if anyone here has an explanation on why at the end of the fight of Kiyama didn't just teleport Misaka away... but only to find myself stuck with 7 pages of comments xD So yea I'm too lazy to look through all that without even knowing if anyone explained it in any of the previous pages... so anyone want to either direct me to the right page, explain again, or even simply letting me know if anyone has already talked about this in any of the previous pages (yes or no will do)? |
| For a villian, I actually quite like Kiyama-sensei. |
| Aaahh what the hell is this? This is turning out like Full Metal Alchemist. The Academy city's government is doing some shenanigans? I wonder when will Edward Elric show up. Kiyama not being evil but instead just trying to expose the true intention of the government really caught me off guard. Now I understand why she created the Level upper, so she could expose the higher ups! Too bad her experiment resulted in a failure and turned her into a monstrous-like fetus. What I didn't understand was the fight itself. How did Misaka get a hold of Kiyama's body so quickly if Kiyama was at distance after the explosion? Did she idiotically walked towards the "unconscious" Misaka for some reason? |
| Aw she was a good teacher..how sad. |
| Very nice episode! |
| Loved this episode Harumi is definitely the best character in the show, but it was stupid that she got beat so quickly. Really looking forward to the next episode, the show has really got a lot more interesting in the last 2 episodes. |
ZensationalFeb 4, 2011 11:18 AM
| Hmm, the flashback showed us what happened to her experiment in the past. That scientist where the was working for is a monster... T_T She has good intentions though. Only her method is very wrong. And what the hell was that fetus at the end?! O_O |
OnyxthegreatFeb 27, 2011 10:11 AM
 |
| this ep. made me teary T_T i understand you kiyama sensei, im on your side kiyama sensei >w< |
| Flashback was well done, but idk about this whole baby alien fetus thing. Potentially really stupid, but I guess I'll wait and see where they go with this. |
| Nice fight, nice flashback, nice alien fetus... wait, what? |
| I knew Dr. Kiyama had to be a good guy! Seeing her suddenly become the opposition and the mastermind behind this whole dibacle was a nice twist, but she wasn't completely antagonistic. She was trying to truly be helpful to Misaka and the others, but just had her own unruly method of satisfying her goal. Her flashback completely justified everything! (and was heart-breaking... I almost shed a tear :'( ) |
