Damn, that's a tough beating that Ryouko took this episode. Interestingly enough, the episode also explored more of her background story. I do find it interesting that at such an young age, she's already exposed to the dark side of Academy City, although not too surprising.

Pretty cool to see the various esper abilities being used this episode.

Scientist girl afraid about the danger, but other scientist not wanting to hear her out.

Cyborg girl found her, but those group appeared at the end of last ep. came for both.

The girl was weak bodied when she was little, so she became scientist herself to have a stronger body but ended up making cyborg.

Since that worst case scenario happened, the doll was controlled by the soul that filled out.

Main girl, after stopping the one that got the real one, met up with the rest of the group.

Fight continues

The four seem to be in a though spot and i can't say that i dislike that.
Especially the brat i dislike the brat so much that i honestly enjoyed the scene where the arm was broken.
I surprised myself during that moment, normally i don't like it when other people get hurt.

In any case we got a explination for the Indian Poker and it looks like they are solving the problems so looking forward to next week.

Great episode.

I don't know why the spinning truck slowly approaching the Doppelganger from the back made me laugh that much, but it did.

Gee, Seike and co. really have some ridiculous luck! Accelerator followed by Railgun, I wonder what'll come next if they manage to survive this ordeal xD.

Got to love those moments of opponents figuring out Misaka's identity at the very end before the final blow, I'll never get tired of 'em. And their over-confidence just prior to it makes it even more hype-worthy.

On to the serous bit now, looks like the Doppelganger is aware of a lot of tid-bits after all. Splitting the soul and then the soul eating up the town in the process definitely sounds like a stretch even for this series but seeing how the fight progressed with her taking control of the papers and the earth, I'm starting to think we've got ourselves something to look forward to!

Misaka seeing a part of herself in the victim/observer/test-subject was really nice too. And the clips from the Sisters arc! God, I love that arc.

Appreciated the little moment with Kuroko, too. Just the perfect calm before the storm, I suppose.

Next episode preview promises a banger to look forward to and I comply wholeheartedly!

At this point, the Scavengers may as well be a comedy group. Absolutely love it when new people react to encountering Misaka for the first time. Would have been even more awesome if Misaki was tagging along for a reaction to 2 Level 5's.

The arm breaking was quite gruesome. I guess she's lucky the entire hand didn't get torn off.

Scavenger have some pretty terrible luck right now. It's not been too long since Accelerator gave them a beating and now they have to deal with the intimidating challenge of dealing with the Doppelganger, which is proving to be a very tough indeed.

The poor leader had her hand crushed by the intense strength of Doppel, which was made even more grimacing with the audio of the hand crushing itself. Naru's valiant efforts were strong, but it was for nothing as Doppel took a part of her bunny battle suit and fused herself with it. Good thing the trio got away while they could.

As for Seike, he was a little too rough with Ryouko, which led to his fight against Misaka, which was very one-sided. Yes, Seike is a guy, as he thought Misaka was a boy in her outfit and mentioned about them "having the same package".

I do look forward to the next episode. Misaka's meeting with Scavenger's leader is going to be very entertaining and the preview showcased a bit of the fight against Doppel as well. That has me hyped! =D

Well Aleister, the director of Academy City is one.At least in the novels is described as looking both as a man and woman. Accelerator is also one with characters questioning his gender in early parts. Actually Accelaretor with a skirt looks more like a girl than Seike does.

This episode was epic as expected, but poorly narrated at the same time. They just adapted bits like the scavenger confrontation, Ryoko backstory, Misaka and Misaki dialogues, call with Kuroko (stop messing with her doll, she'll kill ya!) and the fights involving Doppelganger (savage cyborg) and Seike, jumping from one scene to another. Still enjoyed it tho.

The scavengers are jobbing hard, just their luck! Also that moment when a trap finds a reverse trap.

We like Naru and co a bit more now; Misaka walking towards them like Jotaro was hilarious.

Next episode is gonna be fun.

So the Dobbelganger can also steal other's abilities, that's gonna be an interesting point later on I am betting!

I am gonna keep saying it, Misaka in casual clothes is <3

I love these reactions whenever people or a group run into Misaka and go "Railgun???" The Scavenger group had a pretty good reaction as well!

Man that preview looks so lit!

It was good to see more about Ryouko's past and how the other situations about the Indian Poker in the latest episodes get connected. That cyborg's self-defense system is very curious, maybe the "soul" could help it by manipulating papers, rocks, etc.

Slightly disappointed they took this out (I'll hide it under a spoiler) before Seike was taken out by Mikoto but ah well:

Can't believe this anime managed to make me sympathetic about a mob villain group who was depicted as evil in Accelerator. Reminder that they slaughtered the Anti-Skill, with Yomikawa on scene.

I think that's about Hamazura. Touma only met and fought 2 level-5. And it wasn't really a fight with Mikoto.
Hamazura "fought" Accelerator, Kakine, and Mugino at least.

It's not. Touma's met 4 of them.
Also, it's not about whether he fought them or not, it's about a level 0 encountering a lvl 5, which he has.
In order of who Touma has met, it's:

In case you forgot, Railgun's Daihasei arc hints that Misaki knows Touma personally.

"I'm not exactly a hero", definitely sounds like Toaru series alright.

This arc is definitely reaching a climax now. And i guess the scavengers aren't all female after all.

They explained how breaking the Doppelganger's vessel would lead to its soul pouring out into Academy City and how it could posses all sorts of things.

Doppelganger gaining some of Scavenger's abilities is an example of that.

It's always so amusing to see when someone messes um with Misaka and thinks that he/she is stronger than her until they realize who it actually is xD Even if they don't realize who she is, she will show them xD

The whole backstory of that girl was pretty sad, it was never her objective to create an evil machine. I still wonder if there is a way for them to save the cyborg.

The next episode will be epic, can't wait!

And they managed to retcon Silent Party even further with this.

Nice I guess. Doesnt change the fact they animated that instead of either of the two Railgun SS.
