Touma's right hand doesn't protect him against physical stuff. And Accelerator is tossing stuff at him. How's he gonna get Accelerator without any offensive power? Don't think Touma can even get "close" to Accelerator to punch him. Now might be a good time to enter Index o.O. Yeah!!! enter that magic stuff would be nice to fight that crazy esper power...Maybe Index can pull something from the 103000 grimoires or Stiyl suddenly come to help! Looks pretty hopeless at the moment, don't be a FAIL hero Touma! >,<

Oh boy that was nice the talk with the girls at the beginning was rather fun switching massage seat every time they answer :p

And the first start of the fight was epic, lets see what the end will be like!

5/5...!!

Finally after a lot of chatter starts the waltz between Touma and Accelerator, the designs are always a bit rough as the animations, but the narrative after the parenthesis fun of public toilets with the teacher, becomes intriguing, I want to see the beatings and blood! ^^"

These :D
Man is he strong, I wonder how he will be defeated. Probably will have to flee for some reason.

I also feel like I'm watching 2 anime's at the same time, the first few episodes with more magic and the last few episodes with no memory and less magic.
Amazing anime :), this could have influenced me quite a lot in what and whom I would like now, if I would have seen it back when it aired.

Okay, Accelerator is way too OP xD
He's literally invincible. His only flaw would be Touma power, but Touma power have so much flaw that it's easy to exploit. That vector thing... It make him able to do almost everything. He could even teleport like Misaka imouto by using some crazy vector.

How can he have survived that explosion? It's impossible to get out of it without some serious burn.

Misaka will probably soon enter the fight, along with the cat who probably hold some ultimate power... dun dun dun...

Pretty weird how the sensei explained esper power. It sounded exactly as what the alchemist was doing. So was the alchemist doing a unstable form of esper power?

Adaptation decay.
Touam isnt IN the explosion.

No.An esper can change reality even down to the laws.Alchemy cant change laws.
If Izzard was using an esper power he would die.

Komoe explanation of how espers were born was very interesting.

I see so Misaka clone will level up every time she were killed, huh? That method will surely reach to Level 6.

Awesome maniacal crazy psycho laugh by Accelerator at the end.

That loli sensei is becoming a walking guidebook.

Also Aisa and Index rivalry adding sensei to the mix while Touma is saving MISAKA 10032. Oh God... I really like her clone, and her main. God damn. I want to have that 9968 Misaka harem.

The confrontation with Accelerator was kinda cool. The conversation between him and the MISAKA clone seems pretty pointless to me. Not because of the MISAKA, but because it revealed nothing about Accelerator, except that he's a psychopath. How compelling. Also, one would think the MISAKA clones would have asked him these questions before.

What the hell is a level? What definitions does the Board use when assigning people a level? I think this would be more important than the things the teacher explained in the bath. I appreciate the world building but these priorities are strange to me. Also, what is it the point of making Accelerator reaching the impossible level 6? Sure, the "Shadow Council" is curious, but what else would be gained? If there's no real explanation beyond the "lulz", I'll be pretty dismayed. A mad scientist doing bad things for no good reason is just an empty cliche.

This arc has the potential for contemplating some good questions, even if those questions have been asked by other works before, anime or not. For example: how would a group of clones with a hivemind-like consciousness think, learn or feel? What would determine the value of a human clone?

Unfortunately, so far I'm not really getting the impression that the creator or creators meant to explore the topic of clones and identity, rather that they just included the clones for the rule of cool.

I'm liking this at the moment. Nothing so far in the Index series has done much to change the bias I have towards Misaka after watching Railgun first. Index is interesting and half cute/half annoying. Aisa I like a lot, but she's not been developed enough to be a great character. Sensei is pretty cool, but very much a side character.

So half way in to this Misaka is still the protagonist in my head. Touma's lack of forethought, planning, and tactics etc are a little annoying still. He seems to base everything on "I'll do this because it just has to be done". Stubbornness and determination help for sure, but no amount of needing and wanting something to be possible will magically make it easy. However I am at the stage now where I'm at least rooting for him and wanting him to succeed. I just hope he comes up with some decent tactics for beating accelerator rather than getting through on luck and BS like he did with saving Index and beating the alchemist.

Also for a clone 10032 has some personality, she's quite adorable

Like Accelerator vs Touma. I also like Accelerator's motives. He may be evil, but he is cool. He is quite knowledgeable too. Touma should have died. Man, Accelerator's laugh. Also the ost.

Now I understand more about espers than Railgun ever taught me. Thanks loli sensei.

Also, that gay moment between Touma and Accelerator.(Watch Toaru Majitsu no Index-tan for more details).

BTW, you should really finish the Railgun and Railgun S series till this point before watching this episode. Index is not always that simple.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Provoking a fight with a powerful esper right after being severly beaten up sounds heroic, but not very smart, Touma... I wonder how he wants to win this, or at least survive.

Well, science behind espers powers in our world would just be called delusions.. I mean, their powers come out from them believing in powers, and so they get them, something like that?.. It's your typical schizophrenia or other psychotic illnesses.. In our world, if you believe too much in having some powers, you are mentally ill, when in theirs such humans get powers..
Well, I hope Accelerator will get his ass slapped, and Misakas will be saved.. I mean, I care about robotic Misakas, I even find their personalities more enjoyable than Misaka's herself.. And if to speak about Accelerator.. Army's psychiatrists really need to work on his stability first, and then give him weapons.. That's how army is functioning anyway.. But will see, what happens..

Start of the fight clearly showing how big of a gap there is between Accelerator and Touma in terms of fighting capabilities. Touma may be the only one able to beat Accelerator, he looked very pissed when his hand was slapped away, but that means nothing if he can't survive alll the large objects being thrown at him, or get in close to Accelerator.

Due to the way his power works, I doubt Touma can just touch an object thrown at him and it will drop, because from the way it looks is unlike with Misaka's electricity the object is no longer under the influence of esper power once it's been touched and vector changed. Only way Touma can nullify Accelerator's power is to touch him with his Imagine Breaker hand.
