Great episode, great turn of events. So Touma's father is the caster ? But what about Misha then ? I think they are connected...

Kanzaki in the bath was an enjoyable moment :)

And i laughed a lot when Touma was in a panic when his father tried to sleep with Index ^^ Truck-driver Himegami was also ultra funny :)

Welp. That was interesting, Mischa still freaks me out, and while I called it being Touma's dad, I'm don't have a single clue behind the motive.

As for Kaori... Bring on the DVD(or so I hope)

Honestly, I thought they'd know better than making the already-obvious dad the culprint. The only thing that's interesting is that the Russian girl was siding with him.

I'm still confused, this is like watching Geass R2 without having seen season 1...

As a result, I'm left with only two comments, both directed at Kanzaki.
1. Buy some new clothes if you don't want people looking at your naked body, seriously, who dresses like that?
2. Don't bathe for a while if you're a woman trapped in a man's body. Alternatively, bathe in a sink or something. Stupid woman...

Kannzaki is hot. Touma needs to PIHB.

Also, I called it that the Dad was the magician a while back. Everyone else who switched seemed to be close to him, or switched to something really weird(like Index becoming a guy)

The dad was the only normal one. So I knew it was him. Now we just need to know why.

Umm, is it just me or am I the only one who is confused with that home trip? Toumas dad said it would take a day to get to home and back to springs - by train. And Touma just get there before Index-mom and Misha. Just... Is there something wrong?

So it was Touma's father after all but what kind of relation Misha has and why she didn't touch Touma's hand if she wasn't the spellcaster ?

meh, im disappointed by how obvious the culprit was made it to look. i mean, its just plain too obvious. wouldve been better if theres a twist in the culprit's identity.

episode isnt great, only two things really caught my attention:
1. kanazaki...... what a very very random fanservice moment in the anime.
2. misha aisa as a truck driver. did they just forgot about her and added her near the end or something?

meh, since theres nothing much to say about this arc, how you think this arc will end?
- the traditional ending where touma winds up in the hospital injured, and index comes to bite him,
- nothing much happens in the ending,
- or everything that happened everyone will remember but in their original bodies, meaning a very angry index, after getting injured alot in the switched body, will bite touma's head.

wasn't that already a twist? Hell, we don't even know the motive or if it really is his dad(though it's more likely to be him, obviously). It was slow for Touma to know who the culprit is because he lost his memory so he doesn't really know the true faces of who's who.


In my opinion it was for the better that his dad is the culprit cuz it adds more to the story instead of another random guy again to be the enemy w/c the show already filled us with for the past arcs.

as for the ending, I wouldn't care less if it will go to that direction as it was intended to be for humor. The real ending is what will happen to the fight and their family.


oh and it's Himegami not misha as a truck driver hehe :P

Himegami truck driver was instant win.

For people who said the father is too obvious. Sure, what about Misha then? His father may just be a red herring.

I agree, the Russian is to eager to kill whoever she thinks in the spell caster and the dad seems to see everyone the same way...which leads me to believe that one of his souvenirs might actually be a protection spell that's keeping his appearance.

In the end it might actually be neither of them and in staid be one of the dad's gifts from overseas lol.

One thing that doesn't make sense though is how the Russian knows all this about the spell and why she avoided being touched by Touma.

I think your theory on Touma's dad being protected by his souvenirs might be true, especially when Touma and Tsuchimikado went to his house, Tsuchimikado was looking at the souvenirs there. He even told Touma not to touch them, which I suspect were arranged intentionally as some sort of protective charm, either that or Angel Fall which I find very unlikely. Tsuchimikado did say he specialized in Feng Shui, so I think thats involved in some way.

Yep, but that wasn't really the issue. How did he get to his parents home BEFORE Index-mom? Japanese trains should also be fast enough to beat cars. And if the car trip were faster, why didn't Index-mom take that? But yeah, this is a minor thing and it really doesn't matter. After all, the episode was okay, with some good moments ( including Kaori) ^_^

It's not so much a matter of speed, but cost. Imagine for a minute how much a train ride from one city to the next is with tokens, vs what it would cost you to ride in a taxi.

and the reason he doesnt get misfortune like touma is because of all the rare artifacts he carries around and leaves in his house that overwhelms the imagine breaker's ability to cancel luck!
lol, i would laugh if he really did have that on his foot. would be a sudden turn of events.

I was going to say something like this....

Index... there is really no point in her anymore, she appears in the dumbest scenes ever made.

I don't like this kind of "love that fell from the sky" thingy and how they fell in love so quickly, no character development at all.

To make the matter worse, since the Episode of Deep Blood, she has the most annoying yet stupid roles.

Again I repeat, I had a high expectation of this series, but so far is lacking of everything starting with a small thread of sense.

This episode was much much better than the ep 15..... at least it shed some more light and more sense, I'm looking forward to episode 17... New Opening and the conclusion.

I HOPE that the next arc... makes more sense and its actually interesting.

More Himegami is always welcome, this is the first time she had random screen time in a while I think. But really, Ep16 already and nothing new about Index; instead we keep getting boring emotionless characters like the Misaka sisters and Misha.

maybe i missed something, but how did they go from thinking misha was the culprit to deciding that the dad was the culprit? i realize that the dad's appearance not changing makes him suspect, but that doesn't answer how misha knows that angel fall is incomplete and why she didn't touch Touma's hand.

While Misha probably has something to do with it, they decided that the caster was the dad since his appearance didn't change; as shown in the pictures at Touma's home.

You had to laugh at the onsen moments. Kanzaki. :3

It's pretty funny if they see her as Styl.

Himegami as a truck driver was pretty hilarious.

From the PV the next episode is going to be pretty epic. With some wicked Kanzaki moments.

I knew it. After I saw the title of the episode, I clearly assumed that the spellcaster would be Touma's father. It was a good episode, kinda had its suspense feeling.

Damn Kaori was damn hot when she was inside the bath tub. Also, the time when the dad and Index were trying to make babies and Touma interrupted was also funny, lol. :3

I wonder why Touma's dad would do this. Also, how did the russian magician know the facts about Angel Fall? Interesting, I must say.
