The whole scene with Misaka and Touma was just plain ass stupid as hell. Instead of repeating "IT'S DANGEROUS OVER THERE COME OVER HERE" multiple times, Touma could've just said "DON'T TOUCH THAT MOTHERFUCKING POLE" and just ran up to it and checked it which will inevitably result in Fukiyose not getting pwned. But of course, for the sake of pandering to the audience, they had to showcase Misaka's tsundere at least once.
Exactly my thought^^
Touma really isn't the most brilliant guy, I mean for instance he got one useful trait, to dispel magic and esper abilities. But people still need to bloody remind him to use it all the time -.-'

The whole episode was filled with unnecessary forced scenes imho and there was just way too much hypocrite Touma screen time as well.

Bad episode is bad ^^


And what came after that? Touma just freezing their like an idiot, while looking at fukiyose burn in that magical burny thing. After him jumping around like a character straight out from DBZ in ep 7, you'dve thought Touma finally gotten the drill. WHY CAN'T HE JUST UNDERSTAND THAT HE NEEDS TO STFU AND USE HIS RIGHT HAND?

I can't stand watch this scene and go right to myanimelist.net to write this X(

It seems like every female in this anime gets the shit beaten out of them on a regular basis...

Only the ones that act like a bitch and with what Oriana has done, she qualifies for an Imagine Breaking fist in her face.

now if only sakura, shana, louise, and ther similer characters like that get the treatment.

That's the beautiful thing about Touma. Whether you're man, or woman, or loli, he will take you down if you dare harm his friends.

I agree, Toma's rather dumb… for example why not just run and touch all the poles to be safe? it would be faster and make more sense to do that..

Also, what’s up with the high level security with the guy guarding there with a hand scan device? A bit much for a middle school competition isn’t it?

Exactly what i was thinking through the whole episode, and pretty much every episode.....and the fact that he seems to faint all the time after big fights....makes me wish i was there so i could kick some sense into him hahah.

Stiyl reminded me of the "self-torture" ruse loool. To some extent, I would agree that Touma needs less talking and use his right hand more, cause that's what's he's good for lol. I mean even Stiyl and Tsuchimikado push his ass in front of magical attacks so he can block them, much to Touma's objection LOLOLOL I do agree that Touma coulda just tapped all the poles, but at least he was smart enough to push Misaka out of harm's way. Decent episode.

Wow, Touma really sucks at explaining things. I guess that whole sequence ending with Big Boobs-chan (forgot her name) getting hurt was supposed to give him the motivation to get serious about taking down that magician woman; but it just ended up feeling really contrived.

How did the Short Hands evade any contact prior to the sporting event, given its position, is beyond me.

Stupid Touma is stupid. Why did he have to wait to be told by Tsuchimikado to use his right hand, especially when Fukiyose was hit by the counter spell...?

Well, seeing Misaka blush, among other things, did saved this episode for me....

Touma probably needs to hit that shred of paper with the spell, not the pole. Still he could have simply run to each pole and look for it, and even more so when he saw something written..

Also, why are Styl and Tsuchimikado even the only ones there? While normally Kanzaki would be around too, it would still only be three people, and it's not like the item in question is a surprise, they knew well before. Laura Stuart, the archbishop of the Church of England even talked with Aleister. Yet neither the Church nor Academic City have dispatched additional people. Tsuchimikado is after all studying there, and Styl is almost always in Academic City because of Index.

Both Judgement and Anti-Skill is used to deal with espers, any Level 3+ esper is more dangerous than what Oriana showed so far. Judgement is made up from students, and Anti-Skill is just the regular police force. Not to speak of secret, or at least barely known security organizations. Some surely even know how to deal with magicians in particular.

If you take a closer look, a lot of things don't really make sense, but whatever, more action for Touma, Misaka and co.

Kanzaki isnt in AC so she cant deal with it.ACs problems arent the only ones that the Church of England or Kanzaki have.

The only ones that can deal with Oriana now is Styil because he is a magician and "just happened to be there" because he is friends with Touma who isnt classified as a true esper and so he can deal with magicians too(just like in the deep blood arc) and Tsuchimikado is a double(or more) spy.
Laura cant really sent a bunch of magicians in AC without causing trouble with the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church.That is why those 2 and Touma are the only ones that they can sent.

Aleister cant sent Judgement or Anti Skill or underground organizations for the same reason.IF a magician is wounded or killed by an esper or the authorities of AC then it would lead to a war


They are lucky that the previous incident with Sherry didnt cause any injuries or deaths and was easy to cover up.

Awwwn, embarrassed Misaka was so cute :3
Touma is so oblivious... He have the harem MC syndrom.

Touma annoyed me on the assault scene and Stiyl action. Why was he mad that they were asking him to nullify the spells, it's the only he can do. Also, Stiyl basically accepted without reticence Tsukimikado plan, so it was annoying to see him getting all upset about it. It is the only plan possible, stop whining.

Tsukimikado is so cool with his sunglasses. He has such a mysterious aura.

Touma and Tsuchimikado failed to stop Oriana's technique. It seems that Touma is angry after that.

Is it first time we see Motoharu in action on our side?.. Well, he kinda helped before with Touma's dad.. Even if we didn't know that till the end, so it feels different.. He destroyed house which was causing troubles with Feng Shui, lol..
So.. Mages also can write grimoires?.. Or some kind of mages, with specialization or something..
200 VS 20.. lol.. That school is indeed powerful..
Well, I just have no idea, how Misaka could interpret things like that.. I understand shyness, but this is just hilarious.. ;p

First half was great as we get to see how dedicated Tsuchimikado and Stiyl are at their jobs, even better than the LN with the reduced scenetime here

The second half though, Touma could have just said "Hey Misaka can you get away from the pole" or something like that gdi, rip Fukiyose though
