This episode was the first time I ever really liked Touma. I wish he could be that psychotic in all of his fights. : (

Amazing episode with Imagine Breaker vs Imagine Producer (Ars Magna) fight. I loved everything about it. And thanks for all the theories. Yup, no loopholes if you keep thinking about it, haha. At least all the events are justifiable.

And we all love Index don't we. :3

Huh there was an episode this week? All I could think about was how we will finally be getting some imouto next episode!

With that said, chalk in another lady to Touma's ever-growing harem. The guy has a harem without even knowing about it...what misfortune =P

That was a really good episode. Loved pretty much the whole thing.

I assume Touma used his power to "undo" the reality/thought by Izzard of the right portion of his body.

Lol, true. Although Touma is a much more likable protagonist from your typical harem male lead, imo.

I loved it when Touma acted all pissed and crazy, with all that blood on him. That was pretty cool, and... I feel weird, but I found him so hot there, HAHA.

this was a great episode.
so, alchemy guy also likes index.... and is crazy... oh well
way to breat the ice index.... apples....
yay for touma saving himegami.
i laughed at touma reducing the car.... and stopping his death in the other ways.
poor styl..... to get skinned like that.... ouch.
so.... the alchemist's power is much like the gigalomaniacs.... instead of the dilusion, he pretty much thinks about it.... anime crossover thinking ftw.
i am glad touma was able to use a mental trick on aurelous.
touma was badass acting tough without an arm xD
i laughed when i saw that touma had his arm back connected to his body... so in that world, it is normal to go missing arms every once in awhile?
cutting apples.... XD
himegami emits waves.... lol
himegami is cute
himegami has been accepted by me.
himegami has joined the walking church
touma has one more person to take care of.
"fukoda..."
next episode should be awesome, with the esper.

If he were to reverse anything, it was the weapon itself. The arm would still be lying on the floor in a pool of blood.
Except that he wasn't really reversing anything. He was still 'creating' new stuff, it's just that the new stuff returned objects (notably Styl) to an undamaged state. He could very well have imagined Touma's arm back in place, but I already said he was having a nightmare.


Why the hell didnt the alchemist just imagined Index to be super healthy, happy and in love with him (..and with bigger boobs) three years ago?

He didn't have Ars Magna back then either, or at the very least he hadn't mastered it. The thing with that ability is that he has to be 100% confident that he can do it. If he hesitates about it it won't work or he may undo things by mistake, like how he fixed Styl by thinking about Styl when he started doubting his power. Any single doubt in his mind and it wouldn't work. So while in a technical level, his power could have saved Index easily, he didn't have the mental strength and confidence to try it.

Well said! I guess that concludes this explanation. Indeed he not have the mental strength nor confidence to do this.

loved this ep. soo good. had everything in it xP
but the whole arm thing was crazy! and lmao no i dont watch ER but cmon, its ANIME, since when does reality (aka blood loss) hav anything to do w/ anime xDD?
and p.s- it wasnt touma who summoned the crazy dragon monster thing, because izzard's thoughts become reality, he was imagining imagine breaker to be some kind of immense power so the thought took over and literally consumed him + stiyl came bak to life because touma convinced izzard that his magic was no longer working.
thou when u think about it, being able to imagine stiyl being ripped apart into a thousand pieces is kinda........gross.

Yeah me too, cowered in blood unleashing a psycho laughter, such an awesome scene =D

Luckily for him that doctor could stitch his arm back on, even though it would take years before he regained all movement in his arm and it would never be as good as it was before, though I guess they leave out such minor details ;)

That was a pretty bad ass episode. Psycho mode Touma was just epic win. He pawned Aurelious really badly, making him believe that his powers are not working anymore,. Also, the dragon was also pretty bad ass aswell.

Index was also cute in this episode. She unconsiously said I'm hungry in a life threathing situation, lmao. Also, if she had partners before, wouldn't that make her like love for Touma a fake or something since she treated everyone the same. She treated Aurelious just like Styil and Touma, lol.

Wonder if Deep Blood will stay with them. I hope yea because I really like her. Don't let the church take her away Touma!

I have to say, the logic behind this fight sequence was very impressive.

Also, several complete freak-out moments in this episode. When Stiyl was torn to shreds I totally flipped. And then Touma's arm getting sliced off was so freaky.

I really like this Deep Blood character. I hope she'll be a regular too.

Wow. So, he is able to control the world around him... with his thoughts? There has got to be something deeper to that, or else he could have taken over the world with a single thought. Maybe it only works inside that building. And he can't create vampires because he thinks that he can't create vampires, so therefore he can't create vampires. And maybe he's just really unimaginative. I mean, with power like that, you could create a secret underground base and pimp it out with whatever you want! Flat-screen TVs, air-hockey tables, baseball stadiums--the sky's the limit! I mean, what self-respecting hotblooded male would get a power like that and not immediately wish up a jetpack? Come on!!!

And the reason they can re-connect his arm with little to no long-term consequences is because they technology significantly more advanced than ours.

I am greatly disappointed. This series went from ok to an infinite loop of sucky plot. I mean - WHY do all the bad guys have the same motivation. It's like the entire world is one large - LETS SAVE INDEX YAY conspiracy, except that no-one bothers to work together. I had hoped they could atleast make up somekind of other excuse, but this is just lame.
Also, while speaking of the devil, why is memoryloss the only thing that the scriptwriters could make up. So far 50% of the entire cast has lost their memories during the series. Touma, Index and now also aurelos.
Secondly - I am beginning to hate Index - her character is so annoying. Makes you wonder why the entire world wants to save her...

Lastly, while I am at it. This episode made no sense. I can accept that that aurelius dude can manifest his thoughts into reality - thats a quite cool ability and they used it well. BUT - how the heck did the Fire-mage-dude get back to normal? I mean it is not like aurelius imagined him back or anything, because if that was the case we would have expected instant regeneration of touma's arm, when aurelius lost control, which clearly wasnt the case - since he was fixed at the hospital. A quite significant plothole - especially when they went to such great length to descripe aurelius ability and why/how it works....

Next to it actually ending..eventually.., the only only highlight of this episode was that index got hardly any screentime - god bless you for that.

//end rant


This - the Aureolus guy seemed like he could have been an awesome villain, with an original motive. It seems everyone in this show wants to save Index, leading to long 'motivational/demotivational speeches by whoever happens to be there'.

The end to this made no sense - Touma got stressed by Sphinx being there, but not Stiyl's cigarette? And how did Stiyl get his skin back so quickly?

I like Himegami... but I didn't want her to end up living with Touma. I hope he doesn't get a harem or something. Glad she's okay, though. I wonder what she'll do now?

Touma really was pretty freaky when his arm got chopped off and he was laughing crazily. DX Erm, great episode though!

This shows is very comfortable screwing with the insane and ridiculous. I was amazed at how great, but also random this episode was. It had a fantastic finish though. Sometimes the show is less about what Touma's right hand, and more about the ridiculous amount of GUTS and BALLS he has.
