| i'm so happy that the screenplay and direction keep getting better and better. minor changes for major impact. i was so surprised to see that they didn't split this chapter into two episodes. up until the very end (after the credits) i was sure the line that he says to her was going to be in the next episode. we're really getting into now what made me love this manga and so for me every episode is really a one-of-a-kind experience. it comes, it goes. i can't wait to ask my friend who is watching this what he thinks is going on. of course to me it seems like it should be totally obvious to other people by now but maybe not. i mean both me and my sister were caught totally off guard so who knows. no justin.tv again this time ... but at least i was able to see nearly everything via keyhole. crapcaps: asdf1248 said: "GEKOTA :D!!! ...jya nai ka...:'(" tsuu ka zenzen mitenee shi ... (did she really say mitenee?? that's what i remember hearing ...) asdf1248 said: The sound on my stream cut off right before the ED, so I couldn't figure out what they were talking about in the scene after the ED (the characteristic MIKOTO VENDIE-KICK was awesome as always) or the preview...bleh...But Uiharu finally catches her cold... it was the scene when he says to her "minna buji da kara, mondai nee shi" and it rocks her world. definitely in my top 3 favorite scenes from the entire manga thus far. and yeah we get to watch saten bath-massage uiharu next ep. their touching yuri-to-yuri. |
 |
| Enjoyed the episode very much. How did Mikoto get to the culprit the second after the explosion? Kuroko showing up suddenly seems convincing because of teleport, but Mikoto? protoman96 said: Think she said "... zenzen nitenai shi...".tsuu ka zenzen mitenee shi ...

| touma's the shit. need more touma!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| Great episode. birirbiri was so cute with the pajamas and Gekota Shirai' run was awesome. I felt bad for Saten-san though. |
| There are some things that really did not get solved like Misaka hitting that guy at the end did not help him at all to cure his bully problem. Misaka was nice in her pajamas but I think the new pajama suits her more with the color. Liked the whole shopping part. The class of AIM was interesting too. Touma helping the girl who lost her bag last episode was so cute and nice of him. Misaka's railgun was quite something too with the effect shown. Panties stuff is getting old, try better with them. Touma made me so happy this episode even if it was a little time he had. Misaka really was bad! She completely dropped that coin and failed at her railgun. It was thanks to Touma! He is really the hero and a great one because he saved that little girl. T_T + ^_^ is my expressions. Really proud of Touma on those shots. Way to go Touma you made my day! All glorify Touma! He is the hero! Hail to his hand...Imagine Breaker! Touma! Touma! Touma! Touma!(crappy shots by from episode) fixed==>  tigerz said: touma's the shit.the hero need more touma!!!!!!!!! there fixed...Exactly about needs more Touma involvement. argilium said: Proselyt said: Kuroko could teleport at most two people along with her, you know.. though even if that didn't happen, that guy is walking slowly and thought that they could not catch up to him.. and how are you sure that the scene in the alley happened a second after the explosion?? they could have used an unnumbered cut..Enjoyed the episode very much. How did Mikoto get to the culprit the second after the explosion? Kuroko showing up suddenly seems convincing because of teleport, but Mikoto? Logic says Kuroko but then it means she went there teleported Misaka knowing that Uiharu/girl were safe because of Touma then caught the guy.....I did not see any of that so just supposing. |

PsychFreak said: Same here was excited, heart beatings and on the edge of the seat as you say.Needless to say this episode had me on the edge of my seat. More action like this is much needed in this show. |
In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Really? I thought it was rather predictable. And maybe it was just me, anti-climatic as well. The Touma and Misaka interaction was good though. I enjoyed that much of it. |
 |
| Ah finally they picking up the pace with this arc.. Instead of anti-climatic i thought it is climbing, 24 episode..so no wonder they slow on the pace |
 |
| I'm not understanding something or I simply must've missed it in a previous episode or back in Index. From what I understand at the top of my head, Touma's ability is to cancel out another ability. And from what I understood from the last episode, the Graviton ability manipulates aluminum or some metal and it causes an explosion. However, the resulting explosion is not exactly part of the ability, should it? If it's not, then how is Touma able to cancel it out? Unless Touma's ability is to cancel out the ability and whatever resulting side effects it causes, he shouldn't be able to do as such. |
 |
| I wasn't enjoying the episode much until Touma appeared. He made it enjoyable for me, alright episode overall though. Still waiting for a proper consistent plot-line to begin, people keep saying there is one.... |
| one of the best ep ever! i still like toumaxmisaka |

Unless Touma's ability is to cancel out the ability and whatever resulting side effects it causes, he shouldn't be able to do as such. I think that the explosion is considered part of the ability seeing as if Misaka fired a railgun at Touma his ability nullifies it anything produced by the ability is therefore nullified or something like that =/ |
| I laughed when Misaka was frustrated that Touma would only act so cool in front of her....

"the Graviton ability manipulates aluminum or some metal and it causes an explosion" ---> That's what I have pointed out to be a problematic statement in the last episode. We were never explained how the explosion occurred. From this episode, it seems that the explosions were PART of that guy's ability. Finally, Level Upper is the title of the next episode. They will finally start explaining why all these incidents were occurring. The "tool that will raise your ability level fast", thus explaining the discrepancies in the database. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
wakka9ca said: I laughed when Misaka was frustrated that Touma would only act so cool in front of her.... yeah that was pretty funny xD Touma ftw |

| Was Touma this cool in Index? Maybe it has to do with him being less preachy but I didn't mind that at all, as long as he was still canceling out other abilities. I still feel for him because he was touched by the feather, if you know what I mean. But this series is about Mikoto and certainly adding some plot and more biri-biri anger/frustration makes things a lot better. Going back to Touma for a sec, I wouldn't mind watching a whole series just on Touma and his everyday misfortunes. Unless if Index was supposed to be exactly that (not really though) and just a cool character in Railgun. |
| Wasn't expecting the bomber to get caught this ep, but still satisfying. Since he seemed to be acting completely alone, I'm curious how the plot will continue next week, especially considering the tiny bits of foreshadowing we've seen since the beginning. Speaking of foreshadowing, I really hope that 'level upper' thing doesn't exist and doesn't level Saten up. Part of her charm is the fact that she's without a power, which is an interesting counterpoint to the other three. Plus that scene with her thinking aloud to Biribiri was just perfect. One more thing...  Situational awareness: always relevant. |
 |
 *sip* |
| Haha, I was surprised Touma showed up at the mall. Then I was expecting to see Index, but it was just the little girl from the previous episode. Touma was awesome in this episode because his Imagine Breaker saves the day! Want more ToumaxBiriBiri. |
| Awesome fun episode ^_^ Touma saving the day woot! More ToumaxBiribiri would definitely be better, but I still love this show. |

Yeah about the bomber, the sad part is that his bullying like I said before did not get solved, Misaki should have done something more than punch him.

| I think this is the first time I've dozed off while watching anime. |
 |
| Clench those teeth! Imagine Breaker was cheap in To Aru Majutsu no Index, it still seems cheap here. Funny nobody did an investigation on why there was a cone area unharmed by the explosion. No wonder their database is f*cked up if nobody gives a damn. :p |
| Touma saves the day again! I didn't expect them to catch the bomber already this episode, thought they would drag it for another. Oh well, no complaints :p Alexstratz said: Funny nobody did an investigation on why there was a cone area unharmed by the explosion. No wonder their database is f*cked up if nobody gives a damn. :p They probably just assumed it was Mikoto's doing. |
ShanaMelon19 said: I agree XD, lolwakka9ca said: I laughed when Misaka was frustrated that Touma would only act so cool in front of her.... yeah that was pretty funny xD Touma ftw poor vending machine... |
 |
| Yay more Touma :3 |
| About time Touma showed up, and boy he showed up with BADASSNESS in this epi XD This show needs more Touma, even though his not the main here :P |
| This is a signature. |
| it was awesome to see touma xD he saved the day with imagine breaker he is so cool xD good episode :) wonder why misaka didn't mention it was touma who saved the day x3 |
 |
| Touma was great this episode. I love the interaction with Misaka. I would like at least every other episode to have this much action or more. |
| tomo once again saves the day, and yet hes not even the main character anymore! |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| they are really trying to make touma as cool as possible^^ but didnt know that misaka started as level one. |
     |
| I wasn't enjoying the episode much until Touma appeared. He made it enjoyable for me, alright episode overall though. Still waiting for a proper consistent plot-line to begin, people keep saying there is one.... Funny it was the complete opposite for me. Quite liked this ep until that guy showed up.. God he's annoying -.-' Also how the hell did Mikoto get out so fast and just happened to stumble upon the culprit in a dark alley? Started off good but the last part was shite. |
EternalDreamer said: Also how the hell did Mikoto get out so fast and just happened to stumble upon the culprit in a dark alley? Me and someone supposed Shirai teleported Mikoto there but it is just ridiculous they did not show that. There is no other logic about that. There is no possible solution that Mikoto could have made it there so fast other than teleport. |
In spoiler my anime list for now. |
EternalDreamer said: Funny it was the complete opposite for me. Quite liked this ep until that guy showed up.. God he's annoying -.-' I don't see how he can be annoying with majority of the females in the cast of this :/ |
Also how the hell did Mikoto get out so fast and just happened to stumble upon the culprit in a dark alley? He walked very slowly and even stood in one spot for some time. Mikoto ran (and I think she is quite good in athletics). |

| Woo Touma appear again xD |
     |
| What the heck is that guy listening to anyway? o.O Maniac. Touma lol, always at the right place at the right moments : D And Gekotan xD And then Touma blocks the power with his Imagine Breaker, subarashii : D Followed by some Misaka awesomeness : D Hey hey, if this guy was in possession of the level upper.. Why does that iPod of his make me believe that could be it? O.o Oh well, more Misaka x Touma scenes kthnx |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
Oosran said: Oh well, more Misaka x Touma scenes kthnx Agreed. I liked how Misaka thought to herself that she get's a weird feeling whenever Touma is around. Guess what deary, it's called you really, really like this guy. You just haven't discovered love yet. Plus see these two with the young girl, all I could say was "awww" and "they would make a cute couple." |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
