Isn't it possible that's part of the illusion too though? Guess I'll find out shortly.

this ep was too crazy, I laughed a lot.
it was very well done, I think the writers took some drugs to come up with such crazy stuff.

BTW: I love Index her, face is so cute

Yes we can XD

LOL OH MY I AM SPEECHLESS, AT FIRST I WAS LIKE WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON, BUT THEN I WAS STILL WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON STATE. RUSSIAN MAGICIANS?! NONETHELESS, GOOD FANSERVICE IS GOOD.

Okay so, some magician altered that tree diagram of Sephiroth and distorted everyone's ranks, and that magician based it in Touma's thoughts and perspective. That's why almost every friend of Touma became part of it. THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN? ANGEL FALL? VERY INTERESTING.

I am satisfied because I saw a happy-go-lucky Mikoto, Index in the hot swimsuit, and Komoe as a reporter, lmao. Although that really caught me off guard when Touma's blonde guy friend told him that he's also part of the Necessarius.

Very strange episode but there are some many hilarious scenes. "Shana-tan, moe..." XD The bikini fan-service was nice too. ;)

Top three of the episode:

1.- YES WE CAN!
2.- Saten cameo as the TV reporter next to the doctor.
3.- Mikoto being moe.

I thought for sure the whole thing would turn out to be Touma's dream... So I was surprised that it was "real". (Or is it...? I still find it weird how his friend is there. That just doesn't seem right... And he's with Kanzaki...?!)

I understood what they were saying at the end, but still. This is one strange arc. I'm not sure if I like it. Or maybe I just don't like, in general, how there seems to be no common thread linking all of these events together; there's no main plot or purpose... D:

So much for the "cute hat". And the tv-program was also rather interesting... xD

And that was only the beginning: Touma walking away mid conversation and everyone appearing as other characters made for some pretty hilarious scenes.

Good thing it turned serious later on though. Angel Fall looks pretty weird.
And who would've thought Tsuchimikado was a member of Necessarius as well? =O

I thought this would be just the mandatory useless-comedy-swimsuit episode that seems to be there in every shounen. I'm glad it ended up being better than that. I was clueless for most of this episode and because I was sure something really wrong was going on, I couldn't stop laughing. But that's why I loved this episode: funny without being pointless. Not to mention that I really liked the Russian Orthodox Church girl. I loved the way she spoke. But why didn't Kanzaki Kaori change appearance like everyone else? At first I thought that only people Touma had already met would change appearance but then I remembered that he had lost all of his memories about his parents yet his mother looked like Index... Is it just random?

I thought this was just all going to be a dream and be a filler. I was quite surprised to find out that this is in fact cannon. Also, I have a feeling the dude with the red hair may be pretending to be his blonde friend, maybe not.

This episode was weird.. at least they didn't make a full episode for loli fapservice but went on with another arc. Some characters felt extremely out-of-character.


Yeah, I thought this episode was going to be the required beach episode that you see in most anime series. Right until the second half of the episode, it was filler.

It’s cool that they at least bring up something about his family in this episode. I was starting to think he doesn’t have any… and then suddenly, things took a turn for the stupid. I had a hard time telling if this episode is just filler where Toma’s having a dream or if this is actually happening. In fact I'm still confused about it. Also it’s stupid that Tsuchimikado is a part of Necessarius. It's just too random to throw in all of a sudden. I mean, the guy has only been shown in like an episode or two. Why bring him up all of a sudden at random? Also can't tell if the Tsuchimikado thing is serious or if it's just a joke.
Also it’s ironic that the Russian magician questions why Toma isn’t affected by the spell, when it’s questionable why she and her group aren’t affected by it either.
Why does Toma insist on keeping up his act that he didn’t lose his memories in front of random people, I get that he’s doing it for index, but why does it matter when she’s not around? This episode just tops it off when it comes to being weird.

Touma is really getting on my nerves...I don't understand why he can't even tell at least ONE person about his memory loss....
That's also his personality though. He always carries the burden for people so they can be happy. :|

This EPISODE IS FUNNNNY!!! BEGINNING is GREAT FAN SERVICE. Index is extremely CUTEEE in swimsuit :D. Then the episode TOOK a big Twist and Became a TOTAL JAW DROPPER haha! First we got Touma's dad, then BiriBiri Misaka Became Touma's cousin, and Index became Touma's Mom o.O? LMFAOOO!!! I thought it was a weird Touma's dream, but the distortion was actaully caused by magic? :O Ha, we know for sure its not JUUST a fan service filler now XDDD Kanzaki and Stiyl are back too! Things are picking up again! GO index ! :DDD

A pretty decent episode with some pretty amusing moments such as "Shana-tan moe" and "Yes We Can!". But, they kind of dropped the ball here....Accelerator should have been Index.

I had to pause this episode several times in the first half that I could facepalm, almost broke my nose several times too.

I'm interested to know more about Tsuchimikado though. How is he involved with Necessarius?

I was quite disappointed to see that Touma's arm did not have a scar where they re-attached it... That would have been a very nice touch by the artists. (I still wonder how they re-attached it so cleanly haha)

It isnt a mistake or lack of detail.There is a reason for that.
