HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT FIGHT WAS INTENSE.
Man the next few episodes are gonna be epic. I can officially say this season of Railgun, atleast the first half is better than any of the franchise - index or railgun.


I can hear Mao from GJ-Bu all over Frenda lol. She's cute.
Misaka is so badass. She looked great with the hat and shorts.

Also:

Pretty much this. When she used magnetism to retreat from the explosion I was blown away (pun intended)

^lol at gif above

Well, Misaka is quite OP compare to normal esper. Electricity sure have lots of use.

I doubt it. ITEM's middleman was denoted as "the woman on the phone". See Volume 15 Chapter 2 Part 5. Most likely, it is the same woman and not Besides...it's far too early for the person in the spoilers to be introduced.

I don't like Kinuhata's voice it feels different form what I imagined from her character. Meanwhile everyone else in ITEM has great VA, I love Frenda voice.

Sparkfire said:


To be honest I thought so too, but then there's the fact that she's number 3 in a city full of espers. Unless it's a complete disadvantage, she's pretty much unmatched by anyone who isn't a Level 5 AFAIK.

So how can Misaka win against one level five and two level four? I hope Kuroko arrives.

So how Accelerator lv5 lost to Touma lv0?

You know I'm super thought that Kinuhita was super genki in LN. I'm super don't expected her to be super stoic since I was super don't read Railgun manga.

NeoAnkara said:
^Misaka is not some cold blooded character. She still held a moral about respecting other life.

SuperFunSize said:
I wish Misaka would stop being such a pussy and just kill her enemies...

Brotwo said:

Moe life that is, she doesn't give a shit about how many peoples' lives the cute little assassin would end. .

Cloudy-Sky said:

Tbh i didn't like how she blocked her kick at that moment since Misaka has no martial arts knowledge or experience in that matter and that was a really precise block. But oh well this is a small detail i think ^^

She's a 14 years old child for god"s sake... Do you often cross the path of a 14 years old girl who kill people just because they can? Misaka is supposed to be the only really sane character among the level 5, that's basically her trademark even more than her railgun move. Why do you want Misaka to be just a plain level 5 rather than someone who still have her complete sanity. We already have Accelerator for this as a main character (and he's awesome enough while being the only main character like that, thanks). There is no need for a second main character with exactly the same mentality, the two would overlap and Msiaka would be a mere female accelerator, talk about being boring.

You're basically suggesting that Misaka lose what makes her different from the other level 5, as well as a part of what makes her so awesome. Because it's so difficult to actually keep your sanity as a 14 year child with monstrous powers. If most of the level 5 were not able to bear it and have fallen, this should prove you how hard it is. Yet Misaka manages to stay on the right path, just like Kuroko who's bearing a really similar burden. If those two girls are awesome, that's also for this.

So in other words : hell no. Maybe near the end of the index series, why not; but definitely not before this.

Besides, if you want a version of Misaka who enjoy killing, we already have Misaka Worst who fils the bill...

Well there are another 2 Level 5's(), that are sane(but have some quirks like Misaka does) and we dont actually know anything about #6.
And we already have the

Zefyris said:

You do realize that it's not up to normal citizen to decide of that kind of thing. If anything, stopping her without killing her and handing her to Antiskill would be the right path. Except that under those circumstances, Misaka can't really go explain what she was doing in the lab to antiskill, right. That's still not an excuse to become a killer.

Brotwo said:


Well if the only options are to let a murderer who is still murdering go lose or to kill that murderer, then there's no reason aside from personal feelings to let the murderer go unless you value the life of the murderer more than the life of their future victims or have the will/power/confidence/tenacity to prevent any future murders by said murderer.

Of course, as you said an alternative would be preferable in any case. Though aside from crippling the girl or turning herself in with her, I can't think of any. Both of which are still way better than just letting her walk though which is by far the most naive selfish and stupid thing one can do and isn't "level headed" at all for this case.

Zefyris said:
.Well, a few things
1) You're still asking a 14 years old girl to kill someone
2) She doesn't really know if Frenda killed someone in the past, nor if she'll kill again later . Heck, I don't think it was ever mentioned if Frenda killed someone before in the manga or the LN(although she probably did given her personality). Amongst ITEM members, I'm pertty sure that Takitsubo never directly killed anyone for example. Kinuhita is quite the fighter so she probably killed quite a good amount. The real mad killer among them is Mugino anyway, not Frenda.
3) Without Mugino's intervention here, this may have led to Misaka handing her over Antiskill by one way or another (she can hack into antiskill's systems if needed after all), but she never had a chance to choose properly, let alone to do it
4) That's still not her job and that would still make her a criminal by killing her. Well, you could say that she's already a criminal by destroying facilities, but between a terrorist just destroying things and someone who kill, there's quite a gap...

Sorryssjokg, but since I don't know if your spoiler is about the manga or the 7th LN of NT, I didn't dare to read it.
