You're gonna have to explain this. Level 6/SYSTEM is pretty much supposed to be Academy City's end goal. Of course, achieving Level 6 is a big deal for Academy City. Why would id be so wonderful to have a level 6 around there? It wouldn't be so much safe having a psycopath with maximum powers walking around there. Read the first part of the following To Aru Wiki Article about Level 6/SYSTEM SYSTEM/LEVEL 6 SYSTEM, without going too deep into the plot or future events, is a central element to the Superintendent( of Academy City)'s plan. At the same time, it is an enticing concept for scientists. Kinda like the Higg's Boson was for physicists until last July. Because it would be hard to control? It's not a machine so chances it will obey you are minimal considering it can destroy you at any moment. He already has the power to single-handedly destroy the world's science side(except one building,probably) and he already does whatever he is told in case you missed it.And no he isnt crazy enough to start killing those that pay for his food,water and other needs. And they(Board of Directors,Academy City's General Superintendent) know his personality very well so they know he wont go on a rampage just because. |
spiritworld said: This is definitely the best episode so far. That establishing shot of the scenery of academy city was beautiful. I'll admit that if it wasn't for the novels or index II I would probably be despising accelerator after this episode. This. 5 and 6 were great. I didn't necessarily dislike Accelerator at first, but I didn't end up rooting for him until Index II. Unfortunately, I can't consider him a badguy anymore after seeing him and Last Order. With that said, it's nice to see the story before that being told. So far, I think Railgun S may be my first 10/10 anime. Granted, we're only a quarter through, but I'm really liking how it's shaping up. The animation is great and they're hitting the action and breathers at a good balance. The only thing I'm not feeling are the OP/ED's. I liked Index's first OP, this one's OP, and Dear My Friend, but the rest haven't resonated well. :/ |

The Superintendent of the Board of Directors (Aleister) knows how to control Accelerator within an allowable margin of error. THAT is all that matters in Academy City. If you want to know more about the point of Level 6/System-look at the link I put in Post 96. |

| Great chapter, now i like misaka a bit more :D |
 |
I wonder what they will show in the upcoming episodes since if you have watched Toaru Majutsu no Index then you know what will happen at some points. It will be fun to see what they will show us. |

| This season went straight for the jugular and I couldn't be happier. Great stuff so far. |

| loved this episode, I loved Misaka's rage moments, great seiyuu's work... and Accelerator is so fucking badass |

Araby said: His powers,that are excessively "spoiled" arent going to ruin your excitement if anything it would make it better.His powers arent explained in depth at all in Railgun because you are supposed to know about him from Index(novels).And even then we didnt spoil what he will use later in Railgun's eps.ssjokg said: I'm talking about everyone talking about Accelerator, whom I know nothing about.

Everything else is about Academy City being able to control him,(since some users want to make it appear that he and/or the Level 6 Shift is BS just to have an antagonist)which should have been obvious since he didnt just kill Mikoto or any other clones and follows the schedule someone else made. |

| Great episode ! It was hard to see Misaka Mikoto losing so badly. Accelerator is most overpowered character in Index and Railgun! |
 |
Cyanwasserstoff said: That's easily Accelerator is most overpowered character in Index and Railgun! |
| Until now, inside of the anime, there was noone who actually could defeat him, after |

Cyanwasserstoff said: ssjokg said: ]Spoilers from Index anime: |
| Okay I was annoyed with this series being primarily about the Sisters Arc but after watching episode 05 and 06 back-to-back, I have accepted the nature of this series and will be embracing it. Those 2 episodes were brilliant in that it sets up Railgun's mission in destroying those 20 facilities and getting rid of the seeds she sowed unintentionally. :D Only problem is that the preview for the next episode, suggests the series will return to being slow-paced again. |
| Brilliant episode!!! That fight was pretty one-sided with Accelerator hardly using any effort to fight off Misaka. I felt sorry for the Misaka's from the project and I guess it was surprising to see that Nunotaba, Shinobu realize that the Misakas' are more human than her. Seems like Misaka has made her mind up and she is planning to destroy the research facilities. This is getting to the specific stages from the manga and I'm looking forward to see how the anime approaches this arc. We should be seeing ITEM pretty soon too!! Looking forward to the next episode!! 5/5 |

Yurireviews said: Fixed. How people easily mistype Misaka's name to be Misaki is beyond me.I loved the little showdown between MisakiMisaka and Accelerator. This guy is freaking creepy but somehow still awesome... Can't really decide whether I should hate or love him And I'm pretty sure that if our Queen had a showdown with Accel, she'll lose flatout. That is if she plays fair which she doesn't. So it's probably anyone's game if they do face each other. |
 |
| Too bad Misaka couldn't make a dent on Accel. Accel was OP for her. But when a certain someone appears and puches Accel to the curve XD Great background info on Shinobu about the sister project ' Misaka finding her resolve again to end the Sister project for good. Will ITEM appear next week?? |

Oh well thx for correcting and yes our queen would most likely lose even if she doesn't play fair but maybe Touma will help her out a little. Misaki is the Queen's name....

| Even her railgun didn't give Accelerator even a scratch. No wonder Misaka warned Touma about him in Index I. I really like how the show's dealing with the whole psychological aspect to this whole experiment. |
 |
| I'm LOVING this season so far. This episode had everything I love about Railgun - including reminding us how great friends the girls are. Misaka's pain was portrayed perfectly. I loved this episode. I don't hate Accelerator - probably because I know he improves later on. I remember hating him during Index I though. |
| Perfect! This season will be a lot better than Railgun 1! I love you Accelerator! |

| Railgun is so much better than Index. At least the anime adaptation is. I've never read any of the novels but man, I remember Index being executed extremely poorly, but had some pretty cool characters. |

| That intense screaming and battle! I loved it! Probably my most favorite battle and serious scene of Mikasa. |
| accelerator pwns!!!!! |
 |
| Not the best episode, but a great set-up for the following ones. 4/5. |
| Ah mah gawd, more Accelerator action, loved it. And the way the he introduced himself to Misaka while this really good OST played in the background just made the episode for me. This episode portrayed the terror Misaka has to face with Accelerator really well, and the animation was great as well. Really looking forward to more of this, and the face impression on Misaka's face pretty much tells how she feels when her most prominent attack did nothing on Accelerator. He seems pretty invincible doesn't he? Our favorite Engrish speaking woman returns in this episode. I find it really funny to listen to hear, and sometimes I struggle to take her seriously. Regrerrabry. The Kuruko outrage when Saten tells her that she might be out with a boy, haha priceless. The episode wrapped up really sweet, and by the preview it looks like there might be some fillers coming up.  |

| Cheats are not allowed. ban4life |
 |
| Mikasa did put up a good fight but she is still not enough against the power of Accelerator |
 |
| Enjoyable.. but i wanna Touma to show his face once in a while at least.... well story is same as index, but its from Misakas perspective.. so mby Touma will show up eventually at the bridge and help Misaka bout Accelerator |
 |
| Accel's voice was sooo damn sexy when he was introducing himself to Mikoto (fangirl mode: on)! *U* Good episode, but the previous one was much better for me :> |

| A very rude awakening to a grim reality. The face off of two of Academy City's level 5s was as one-sided as one matchup can get. Despite Mikoto being the third strongest out of every esper in the city, Accelerator clearly demonstrated just how big the gap is between him and everybody else (no idea about how strong #2 is, but he's #1 cause he's just that untouchable) due to the nature of his ability. Truly, if one wants to land even a scratch on him, more power will simply not work... but more creativity, resourcefulness and a good understanding of how his power works will help. Apart from a certain somebody's power-cancelling h4x, of course. The previously unflappable Mikoto just had a harrowing, unforgettable and life-altering experience. Her reaction to the considerably traumatic experience of seeing someone who looks exactly like you and is made up the same flesh, blood and DNA as you get brutally murdered is understandable. Fortunately, she has wonderful friends who really care for her - but this may be one instance where even they might not be able to help. A series of trials that she may have to (and would prefer to) face alone. |
SayakaMagica said: Despite Mikoto being the third strongest out of every esper in the city, Level 5 espers aren't ranked by how powerful they are, the meaning of their ranking is different, although normal people on the academy don't know about that. Misaka isn't the 3rd strongest, although she's really close to that number ;-]. |

dniv said: ...Her saying: "I don't consider my clones humans" is really making me hate on her in the meantime... I know she gets much better, but J.C. staff is doing an excellent job of making her flawed. It's excellent character development, but definitely doesn't feel like her or any of what I've seen of her animated. the [UTW-Mazui] sub has it as "I don't want to accept my clones as humans" and "I don't want to help people who calmly accept getting slaughtered". i haven't read the manga or LNs so if you mean "making her flawed" and "doesn't feel like her" in the sense that she got zero character development in the manga & LNs then i understand. but if you mean her simple desire to be able to care less is a flaw and doesn't seem like her, then i'd disagree. she's being drowned in painful emotion and wishes she could not care. i don't really consider that a flaw or un-biribiri-like at all. but yeah, either way you look at it, it was another great episode. =) |
 |
| I guess they're hesitant to anime Misaka with a face of pure rage and despair. Considering how was Railgun 1, it must be shocking enough to see this kind of slaughter for this show's fan. Some were looking to see Uiharu and co all cute and they had a pure slaughter even if it is softer than the manga. |
 |
| I though the show was going to just focus on been a SoL and fanservice but this is really good. Hopefully they will keep it like this. |
| huh? |
| I really hate it when a characters power is too fucking OP, it's so booring to watch. And it doesn't help that I hate "that" character sooooo much. |
