What the fuck? Is there ANY arc that doesn't involve Touma doing the same shit over and over again? How the fuck did he even manage to get out from that pile of crosses without a damn scratch? I am disappointed at how they turned Kanzaki into some generic deredere girl. Judging from all the Misaka in the next episode, it looks pretty terrible.
How did he manage to get away from the pile of crosses? This might, though not cure myself may be considered foreshadowing.

Also, i think people aren't liking this season mainly cuz of the dahaisesai arc. Cuz litereally it went like this

1st arc-was supposed to be in season 1
2nd arc-he punched a girl.
3rd- accelerator beats the girl,kuroko saved by touma.
4th-6 episodes of a wild goose chase. I agree with anime only fans i would be annoyed to.
5th arc-pretty good
6th arc-the rest of the episode, might have what people want out of this series. At least i believe it does.

so really, no one liked the 4th arc of the season

God that was awful, I hope the magic side of the story never existed. It's so damn boring and those nuns and religious shit annoy the fuck out of me. And seriously, it's getting really repetitive, every arc ends the same fucking way, Touma punches the bad guy and wins. At first I was so hyped about this show since season 1 was actually decent, now I'm not even looking forward to seeing the next episode, just like Star Driver.


Ugh. I can't believe I'm agreeing with you here. There's barely any development in the series, and while Index had some sort of plot and development, Index II felt like a complete waste of time. It seems as if this season was designed to be 24 episodes of fan-service with an excuse of a plot stuck in it. I was expecting something more along hte lines of Railgun.
You just described all of Railgun, 24 episodes of fan service with an excuse of a plot stuck in it.

Well this arc was pretty satisfying for me.
It wasn't the best tho, but next week we're finally gonna get to my favorite arc outta the novel. (:
God's Right Seat is gonna get the shit punched outta her from Touma. d:

Also expecting the Penalty Game to be pretty time its nice that Misaka is getting some airtime finally, as well as Accelerator and Last Order.

So apparently Touma has amazing healing abilites, since he emerged without signs of scratches and blood from that pile of crosses >_>
Aside from that, I feel really bored watching this. Not even Wakamoto or Kanzaki in maid uniform saved it. Bumping down my score here.
Next episode seems like the start of the arc that my friend said that is really really good but really really confusing as well. I hope it's true.
First off, let's see that date.

Speaking of Kanzaki, I don't understand what Tsuchimikado meant by her troubling Touma again.

Lol. No you don't. That's because you're a member of a much kinder religion than wakamoto over here. Try and keep in mind that when the catholic church was big on missionary work, going out, exploring the world, spreading the word of god, that cultural genocide was a huge part of the process (The destroying of a culture w/o necessarily killing). The fact that you're part of a relatively new religion that hasn't had time to get corrupted is nice. It means you have an abundance of ways to serve the lord with kindness and you aren't really asked to do anything too harmful to anyone.

Wakamoto is a member of the catholic church, and furthermore a member of it's secret inner circles that still bears strong similarities to times when the religion was at the peak of its' power. His holy calling is not "spread the word of God, but don't be a dick about it". He's been assigned as a crusader. His holy calling is to eliminate the belief in science from this world, and he's been given specific instructions how. The only difference between him and a mormon missionary, is one was assigned to be God's friendly face, and the other was assigned to be God's vengeful hand. Doesn't change the fact that he's devoted his life to his lord, furthering what he believes to be a holy cause.

Also, Woot! Birirbiri next episode!

I really don't get why Biagio gets so much flak. People criticize him for being selfish and... blasphemous? Yeah, I don't get it. He's all about smiting the sinners, unbelievers, heretics and heathens. It's a perfectly valid religious focus backed by a great many bible passages, lots of catholic specific dogma, and likely the actual calling assigned to him by his church. He's about as selfish as any of the mormon missionaries who give two years of their young lives to preach the word of their lord without profit or gain. He's the rough character design of Alexander Anderson, who I wouldn't describe as a selfish blasphemer so much as an awesome crusader. Heck, that's pretty much what he was doing. A crusade. Wiping out a new belief system that is offensive to their lord.
Forcing your own believes upon others is also a form of being selfish.
People like that are just obsessed believing that they way of there religion is the only way someone can live.
Someone who is obsessed is a danger not only to those around him but also to themselves, since they will stop at nothing to achieve there goals.

There is nothing wrong with trying to spread a religion but don't force people into it.

As for this episode it was very action based tho it did show some things about the Roman Catholic church or rather the pope in this case.
Who seems to disapprove of Academy city and science.
And he is willing to kill millions destroy society and bring it back to the middle ages in other words he is acting out of his obsession and out of greed since he would gain from this.
All that in order to gain more power.

"‘Kamijou Touma. Quickly investigate the above named person. If he’s confirmed to be an enemy of God, eliminate him’.
Even if the Roman Catholics want to mobilise, or even send out ‘God’s Right Seat’, they have to prepare a document to allow an assassination.
The order will be carried out within 5 days."
This is just more prove of how obsessed the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church are aiming to take out every obstacle that gets in there way.
And it seems they see Touma as a major threat.

I've seen a few...they're ok

But, I just don't think they match up as well as many people think they do.

I mean as a FANBOY, I would love Mikoto to turn Yuri and be with Kuroko, but I know that is unrealistic nor would it make much sense.

Touma and Mikoto just seems like an odd pairing to me, although it could just be me.

After all, Mikoto is one of my TOP 10 favorite anime girls, and I DON'T LIKE TOUMA, I don't hate him, I just think he's Below average as the main protagonist.

with that looks like a massive battle continuing from last time, the plan to show that was rather nice although I was surprised that there were ice cannonballs. I would think of a different type of projectile used since last time it blew up the whole ship. So I am assuming that if Touma touches that big ice ball besides Agnese, all the fleet is gone?
I was wondering about that as well that sphere seemed to be the core of the magic tho it's unknown why Touma didn't touch it.
I guess he didn't feel like swimming tho the Amakusa could have made a ship with there magic.

Yumekichi11 said:
I loved the sudden pincer attack by the Amakusa in order to help out Lucia and Angelene.
It would have been to much for those two to handle by themselves and it seems they might be future members of the Anglican church as well.
Since there actions will have consequences.

Yumekichi11 said:
Now starting with Touma, kind surprised in general that his cell phone and Index's cellphone worked in the middle of the sea. Regardless Touma definitely had the bad-ass expression more than once. That Touma punch in the spoiler
was fantastic. My most favorite one because a)it's not a girl and b)Biagio so deserved apart from other betraying God himself with his shit ass selfishness. I was also satisfied
Yes seems like Touma redeemed himself a bit tho he should learn not to hit woman, he will get in trouble with feminist organizations if he continues.
Also don't underestimate the European mobile network it should work fine if they where near a coastal settlement...

Yumekichi11 said:
About Biagio, he is strong but also a piece of shit ass! OMG he fucking
kicked Agnese! The SOB did that to my favorite nun. Just rage that's all.
He might be a Bishop but he is no gentlemen.
That he sacrifices his own men and also attacked Orsola shows that he truly is a scum bag.

Yumekichi11 said:
So after the capital ship capsized, I assume the rest was gone and that's why Touma was floating around in the water. They kind of rushed to him being suddenly in the hospital.
That scene also confirmed something.
Either there afraid that Esper's might be investigated suggesting there powers might even alter there body.
Or the doctor knows something about Touma's Imagine Breaker that he does not want to leak out.
And it might even be something else, in any case it's a subject of speculation.

Yumekichi11 said:
Holy shit Kanzaki sudden appearance and sudden blushing! Made my day big time but what was better is her version of being a maid in the spoiler
Aaahhhh, so MOE she is there.
Judging from her phone cal i think she was the one responsible that Touma ended up in Italy.
I somehow thought the entire arc that Touma's running into Orsola in Italy was no coincidence and that phone call seems to prove it.
And judging from Kanzaki's reaction to the maid thing it seems she has some hidden fantasies.

Yumekichi11 said:
At first I though Orsola is coming back to Academy City living with Kanzaki? To my surprise it is actually Agnese!
That came indeed as a bit of a surprise tho i don't know if it was in Academy city.
Tho it does seem they will be roommates.
Agnese could not be involved with the Roman Catholic church anymore and it was clear that she would go to the Anglican church for protection.
But ending up as the roommate of Kanzaki.
Kanzaki's power does provide a good source of protection tho.

Railgun didn't even have a plot to speak of until 10 episodes in and that finished up so quick you don't really care about it at that point. The rest of the episodes were boring fanservice filler. So in a way you're right, Railgun's plot did move fast. But having a boring plot that lasts only 2-3 episodes with the bulk of the series being boring fanservice isn't exactly that great to speak of.

I think I'm gonna call how this next villain loses just for the lulz. I'm gonna guess she absolutely destroys Touma .... several times.... but he's gonna have a 20 minute speech, rush in and somehow land a lucky single punch that inevitably knocks her out.

Any takes on the odds of that happening???

If I would be him, I would most likely steal the science then destroy it. Get rid of knowledge is itself going against God but then again anything to do with stealing and killing is also against him so I really cannot say anything other than Biagio being lusted by the Devil in a concoction of his own illusions of grandeur.

I think they are good together. If it weren't for him she'd be dead. I like him cuz he is an average guy that beats strong ass people. Ya he has Imagine Breaker, on his right hand only. I dont really get wat people want him to do, u get tired of him punching but what? You want him to get a weapon?

There is a reason why he is the #1 light novel character and the #2 anime boy.

Touma's powers didn't improve, it's the same as usual and believe us, the last arc will be ffffffff serious business.. You can say the next 2 or 3 eps. are the calm before the storm :D

Horrible arc adaptation. At least it seems like they've put some effort into the next arc, but I'm doubting that really. The only good part will be the antagonist (from what I've read in the novels, she is quite a good character).

Touma what happened to you? Your punches should only be for beautiful babes and cute lolis. You can't waste them on guys.

I really don't get why Biagio gets so much flak. People criticize him for being selfish and... blasphemous? Yeah, I don't get it. He's all about smiting the sinners, unbelievers, heretics and heathens. It's a perfectly valid religious focus backed by a great many bible passages, lots of catholic specific dogma, and likely the actual calling assigned to him by his church. He's about as selfish as any of the mormon missionaries who give two years of their young lives to preach the word of their lord without profit or gain. He's the rough character design of Alexander Anderson, who I wouldn't describe as a selfish blasphemer so much as an awesome crusader. Heck, that's pretty much what he was doing. A crusade. Wiping out a new belief system that is offensive to their lord.


Wtf are you talking about dude. You call killing anyone who disagrees with you as an awesome crusader? I call that a ruthless murderer.
And his view of course is blasphemous and not religiously valid at all because his own religion teaches exactly the opposite from such actions.
His religion obviously wasn't Christianity but the church. He cared more for what the pope ordered him to do than the words of Christ himself. If he believes he is serving under God and his a Cristian then his a blasphemous because his actions are against their teachings. His god was the pope and the catholic church as an organization and not the Christian god.

More Itsuwa screentime was the only good thing about this arc. What a letdown. A stupid antagonist and plot in general. With ridiculous things such as Touma getting crushed by the crosses and then not injured at all.

wikipedia said:
The Crusades were a series of religiously sanctioned military campaigns, waged by much of Roman Catholic Europe, particularly the Franks of France and the Holy Roman Empire.

It was a crusade. He was a crusader. I fail to see how his willingness to kill detracts from this, in fact it would seem to be a necessary trait in a crusader.

Once again, never argued that he wasn't evil. However his actions were indeed backed by many bible passages, and he was attempting to save the eternal souls of mankind. I don't see why this is such a disagreeable concept to everyone.

He's a villain. What do you want from him? Creating twenty thousand lives just to kill them for the sole sake of attaining power is selfish. Forcing a small child with a medical condition to memorize limitless amounts of dangerous information, thus dooming her to a lifetime on the run, confused about what's even happening, with your reasoning being "Just in case we ever need one of those". That's selfish.

Considering what even the "good guys" of this series are guilty of, it seems odd to me that the man seeking to destroy what he perceives to be the largest source of evil and suffering within the world so that the world will be a happier place is the man who stands out as a selfish individual. Evil yes. Misguided yes. Highly dangerous yes. Psychopathic? Certainly. Selfish? Mildly at best.

That's all I was commenting on. We've seen a lot, and this guy seems to get significantly more hate for his selfishness than any number of individuals who's actions have been significantly more selfish than his.

Well you have to look at how that cross operated in the first place: a ranged spell that extended itself. Touma, by touching the extension of the spell itself effectively allowed his canceling ability to propagate back towards the source and destroying it.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

didn't really like this arc. his vacation in Italy was pretty shitty. after these 2 arcs I'm sick of the roman catholic storyline. at least the next episodes seem to get better with appearances by Acceletaro and Misaka. Kanzaki now does nothing but pine over Touma? same shit from Touma here too.
