Lol I thought that it was the jellyfish poison. And I was quite disappointed to find out that it was something so simple as magic ;-;. xD

Funny episode, now I wonder how Touma will react when he sees his mom and cousin again xD.

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.

This is exactly what I thought about this episode.

This arc could be pretty interesting.

Oh wow, that episode was so crazy. Between creepy boy version Index, Index in the lewdest bikini possible, Misaka playing the way too close imouto... Yep, that's the beach episode for you!

So everyone is victim of a spell uh? If so, the father shouldn't have is right appareance. But in the preview, they say that when he entered his father room, he found something horrible. I feel like they kinda spoiled it... xD

Tsuchimikado revelation was so unexpected. Or maybe he was in fact talking to the maid..? He never said his first name, always his last name...

Lmao. Hilarious.
Who's that Tsuchimikado ? :O The dialogue was done like I should have known him ..
I thought it's a single filler episode but it seems like a full arc. That's great, it was probably my favourite ep so far.
I wonder if Touma's father's appearance is changed because of the spell.

Same here.
It didn't make any sense and it came out of nowhere. This is getting ridiculous. If I wasn't this far into the show already, I'd drop it.
Btw, the new OP sucks.

Bravo episode.

Touma and Index watching porn is just like from Tokyo Ravens.

Loli Misaka is ownage.

2nd half of the show turned serious. Tsuchimikado is from Necessarius made me surprised a lot which means he has magic and esper ability?

You and me both, friend.

I'm impressed with the way this distortion was introduced. I was just as confused as Touma was because it all happened so quickly. I'm also glad that magic and the Church are still involved in the whole scenario.

At least it wasn't just a beach episode, and the story actually went somewhere. It was alright.

One of the hotel staff looking like Style caught me off guard, that was funny.

Memor said:
Also I can't help but feel that Touma losing his memories was completely pointless, judging by how we're 15 episodes in and it has made next to no impact on the plot.


Now that you mention it, I agree. It's only apparent because Touma keeps bringing it up in his dialogue.

Haha, hilarious episode, at first I thought it was some kind of filler (and I was ok with that, since I was laughing so much), but in the end we got some serious stuff. Still, Misaka acting totally out of character, Misaka-imouto looking all grumpy, that other girl that I still can't remember the name saying "yes, we can" and Touma's reaction to all this were so funny! And in the end we even got some Kaori! Loved it.

Wasn't really looking forward to a beach episode, the swimsuit one in Railgun was quite funny, but mostly unnecessary. This one however was funny at first, then really WTF is going on, then intriguing. Seems like this arc will either be an interesting one, or some nonsensical BS

From the very beginning, I could see NGE written all over the episode. With Touma waking up like Shinji and this episode reminding me of the dementia and the beach episode in NGE along with the 'angels'.

I laughed the most in this episode. Every part was funny. Last Order appearance too. And the fact that the blonde guy was a part of Necessarius. Along with the Hannibal reference.

Shana reference. Also, Kaori is hot as always. Index too.

I like the ED>

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.

The whole episode was awkward lmao but in the end, more or less, we know what's going on.

I still want to know that if Motoharu is a magician, why is he also an esper as well?

Oh, so Touma is nervous before meeting parents, because he forgot them.. Makes sense he's unsure, of how it'll go for him, really.. And also not wanting to bother them with his memory loss..
This world is full of Misakas..
And his mother looks like Index?.. Wait, is he dreaming, or something?..
... Alrihgt.. But.. Em, but why someone would want to change everyone's appearance?.. Or the goal was to put down from the sky an angel, and everyone changing images is just side effect?..

Misaka as Touma's Imouto and Index as Touma's mom were cute af.

Probably his "Dad" who's the culprit. Everything went wrong after their encounter.

Well that's my brain well and truely fried xD
Was beginning to think that Touma had some hidden family conections with Misaka and Index (thought the cousin could've been another sister with a different personality), but then the Ryokan owners changed appearance...and then...Index :S

Interesting to see that one of Touma's classmates had a hidden secret, although curious as to the location and timing of the spell cast. Especially since Touma's teacher only just sent him to the Springs and Index is suddenly listed on the ID register (holding a green onion for some reason).

Ok this is very confusing especially since I can't remember everyone's name. So the blonde glasses is his actual appearance along with the two other magic people which means he was secretly a sorcerer the whole time. Is the dad the only one with his real appearance as well? That would mean he is a sorcerer that is aware of the spell then too or maybe the cause. Cause index knows magic as well and isn't aware so that's prob the factor why she swapped appearances too.
