----------------------------------------
Ah, one of the most important episodes this season/arc. We got the background story between Misaki and a character named Dolly. Some of their character chemistry is noticable as it shows the happiness and despair from the dark side of Academy City.

Too bad all good things had to come to an end. I felt bad for Misaki tbh and holy shit, the level 6 project continues with Misaka.

Misaki girl controlled cars around their car in to get out of their way.

It seems like Misaki girl met a prototype that looks like main girl. They got along well until she got ill and died.

Exteria? And that's the secret behind Misaki girl's power...

The lab guy got her assistant and controlled the weak MISAKA, which affected last order who is w. Nobu's character, and rest of sisters. Releasing that dark aura inside the network and got main girl.

So that opening ceremony speech will not be the only appearance for the guy newly added for this season according to the preview.

Misaki and the clone seemed to be having a good time together tho the scientists where having their own ideas about that relationship.
And now they even went a step further than that targeting Misaka.
Guess things are getting out of hand again.

The some of the other characters appeared as well this time suggesting they might get involved.

Holy shit, that ending!!! Was waiting for Mikoto's transformation to lvl6! How far can Mikoto go and can Gensei rival Aleister?!



Dolly finally appeared. As much as i love Mikoto, also liked Misaki until some moments in the future. That flahback with Dolly was so sweet. Also was waiting for can throwing struggle.

I guess Gensei have the control of misaka in lv6 or maybe misaka will lose her mind like the artificial angel in Index series.
Misaka in lv6 is cool. she reminds me of super saiyan jin. Lol

Lets goo, it’s Friday, that means it’s railgun szn

Dolly blowing bubbles is just what I needed to end the week.

Misaka and Misaki’s banter is perfect, they play off of each other so well. Great tag team

Ginsei is out here playing 4D chess, he’s 2 steps ahead of them at every turn. I love that type of villian

Damnn level 6 project, next week is going to be fucking hype. Amazing episode packed full of action and not a single wasted second. 5/5. See y’all next week

So some people within Academy City like Kihara Gensei is still obsessed with Level 6.
I have to say, Misaka's transformation looks badass.

From the preview, we will be seeing Touma and Sogiita teaming up. Looking forward to it.

And a reference to Level Upper! Nice.

I'm not certain the villain thought this through: if an angry Level 5 MIsaka is scary, an angry Level 6 Misaka is downright terrifying. And what she's angry at would be YOU. Good move!

The best episode of this season. So their target was Misaka all along. I wish Accelerator would join in but judging from the OP,I guess he won't. I hope one day we can have a meeting where all the Level 5 meet each other in one scene.

Yup, I knew Misaka Mikoto was their target all along. Didn't think Kihara Gensei was plotting to "steal" Shokohou's power for it though.

Damn, that was one awesome transformation though! It's not looking great at all. Accelerator, Misaka and Shokohou (judging from next episode preview) are pretty much down and out but the fact that Touma has been caught up in this is a very reassuring factor. Doesn't matter how bad it gets now, xD. Looks like Touma and the 7th Lvl 5 team-up is coming soon, hype! Seriously though, I'm getting a bad feeling that this is just one plot of many for Kihara Gensei and co.

Backstory was really emotional too, and I really loved the bonding scenes. I suppose this clears up why Shokohou has been protecting that Misaka Clone. Man, that scene of Misaka figuring out the truth but choosing to put that aside was really touching. And then bringing up at the very end...

Shokohou showing a demonstration of the power of the Level Upper by clearing the road was startling, I was starting to doubt why she was just the fifth Lvl 5 for a second. Lol @ the dialogue during the next episode preview, I didn't imagine I'd come to like Shokohou this much honestly.

Can't wait to see where this is going!

Level 5s aren't ranked by power, they're ranked by their usefulness to Academy City's plans and experiments. It just so happens that usually the more powerful an esper is, the more useful they are.

As an old fan of Raildex I am ashamed that I was trying to make sense of what Accelerator was saying.It took a couple of seconds for me to remember that he cant even form sentences without the Network's help.

And its weird because I knew the bus explosion was a reference to Index's events.

Guess that bus burning business was an aftermath of the Touma-Oriana skirmish.
No level 5 is safe from the governing officials and crazy scientists. I really liked the pacing of these episodes. The clouds have gathered, and a lightening show is on the way.
Too bad, have to wait another week.

Another great episode, but even better, I'd say. We got a bittersweet backstory about Misaki and her friend Dolly that explains why she behaves the way she does. Of course, Kihara Gensei being one step ahead complicates things. I also appreciate the Level Upper reference that brings us all the way back to S1. For now, it looks like Misaka is in super saiyan mode and my boi Touma is gonna do what he always does. We also see a bit of Last Order (first appearance in Railgun, I believe?) and Accelerator (since Sister's arc). Unfortunately, they're both out of order. Would've been rad if Accelerator got to join the fight.

Anyway, hyped for next week.

Let the hype train begin, boys and girls! XD

This episode was a cracker. The backstory of Shokuhou and how she met Dolly was very touching. You can't help but have a lot of sympathy for Shokuhou and the lengths she's gone to protect her power to make sure that it wouldn't fall into the wrong hands.

However, Gensei has other ideas. He's got a habit of throwing a spanner in the works and he played everyone like a fiddle again. He got access to the Misaka clone, accessed the Misaka network and as the Misaka herself arrived on the scene, Gensei's plan went into action.

Misaka didn't stand a chance as she's now transformed into something that's similar to a Raijin, which is fitting since she's uses electricity. Either way, her transformation scene, both in terms of a cliffhanger reveal and the production values put into this scene as a whole, was bloody excellent.

Plus, Toma will be involved as well. He overheard Misaka's name being mentioned when he saw Saten talking to Xochitl, and the preview shows him with Gunha. The next episode is going to be another epic one, that much I can guarantee. =D

Oh my god I was waiting for this i was waiting for this. I don't know how many years I was waiting for this. I will never understand how the Index seasons can be so damn bad and Railgun be so freaking good. I know what's coming and damn it's gonna be epic. Everytime I see Touma fights in Index I cringe a bit but in Railgun the direction and the animation were splendid. I hope they manage to pull it of once more.

The Railgun side of Daihaseisai uses the fact that not everything of what Touma did during the Festival was specified in the novels and, well, gives him something to do. You could call it a retcon I guess?

Yep, the Daihasei Festival from Index is the first day of the festival.
That was kinda for the surprise I guess. Nobody would have expected a parallel arc like the Sisters Arc having Touma as a part of a big conflict that was not already showed in Index. And since we don't know what happens during the other days of the Festival, that arc was the perfect spot.

So....is the Poltergeist Arc confirmed to be non-canon?

Because given the fact that Gensei didn't mention Therestina or the Ability Crystal would strongly suggest that being the case. If so....poor Kiyama and her Students....

But other than that, HOLY SHIT LEVEL 6 MISAKA! This is gonna be a long few weeks is it? Especially with the dub delay...

From a sweet flashback to Misaki and dolly, to the hype of Kihara Gensei, level 5.1/6 of Mikoto, the sisters network getting another virus, and Touma and Gunha partnering up, this show is starting to REALLY ramp up! With Gensei's plan revealed and seemingly all the players involved being shown, the action starts!

Really excited to see where the show goes next and it will take all my willpower to not read ahead.

Well this came out of nowhere. Got some Misaki backstory which also explains why shes super carefull about trusting people.

Misaka transformed to level 6. I wonder what that old dude planned for? Unless she somehow loses control which is likely to happen. Touma is back and I cant wait for some decent action since Index 3 was so terrible.

Aleister has good taste, which also explains why Misaka is the only high level esper not somehow working in the dark side. And apparently she has hidden powers. That sounds cool.

Personally I wouldnt mind "A certain scientifical Mental Out" but not at the cost of railgun. Index and accelerator I dont mind.

PS: So the entire reason the old dude did all this was to get exterior to somehow infiltrate the Misaka network. I remember Misaki said she placed defenses on the sister, but apparently exterior removed the firewall for the whole network. And accelerator got shut down as well.

Why would the network be infiltrated like this?

That backstory of Misaki and Dolly was quite surprising, to think she was excellent at manipulation from an early age! Her powers (eventho boosted at times) are insane though. I swear I will have to swallow every bit of bad words I have said about Misaki Shokuhou, she is actually a pretty good character :x

Mikoto level 6 hype, ever since I read those spoilers, I have been so excited to see this! Touma and Gunha in the preview, next few episodes going to be insane!! Can't wait!!

Do feel sorry for all the sisters, Last Order and Accelerator! I would have loved to see him fight as well, but it's what it is!

ah yes they finally turned misaka into an artificial angel.

@Comander-07 railgun seems like it might be ending soon manga wise.

and they already announced astral buddy.

also cancelling index for another series wouldn't happen as it's the main series the rest are just gap filling spin offs. if you want to see more Misaki then either read the index novels or wait for NT.
