I'm at the part where they go after GREMLIN after using the blackmailed people now. Now the question is why they doesn't take ITEM with them? And how can Misaka go with them? Is she using backdoor too? Because Mugino and Kinuhata are still taking jobs and Hamazura wouldnt bring Takitsubo in another battlefield(same could be said about the other two too). Misaka wants to help Touma.If you mean how she was able to leave Academy City/Tokiwadai I dont remember I I doubt it really matters if you are a LvL 5. Mikoto pretty much does whatever she wants... I guess. Plus, she was with Touma on the plane right? They went together. Remember what Mikoto had told him before, right that was really epic (first epic thing she had done in a while). I mean Mikoto has tried to hack the darkest secrets of academy city... Out of curiosity... could she have access to Aleister Crowley's info... if she tried? I mean she couldn't do stuff to the research institutes when they took them off-line, but I mean couldn't Mikoto have done stuff with the underline and everything else in academy city? I feel like in terms of information, she could find out a lot of things that no one else could well except maybe Shokuhou who learns many things... even if they aren't helpful (lol in chapter 58). I also think that Aleister Crowley's plans have spiraled out of control after the new laws of the world took effect with Fiamma and because the tiny unpredictabilities in Crowley's plan have gone beyond the okay level of error... he is therefore afraid to interfere too much, especially directly with Touma, because otherwise it might affect his plan in a bad way. I mean if prevented Mikoto from doing something, Touma would interfere and the plan could go wrong easily right? Maybe he was also aware that it was kind of necessary to have a lot of supernatural power on that particular expedition My real question is actually about what is going to happen with the parameter list. (don't need to put in spoilers as long as no one says what this is). 10... more days... or wait is that 11... may 10th how long will it take... It'll also take some time to scanlate completely even though Baka Tsuki's fast... hopefully railgun manga chapter and railgun S episodes will satisfy me in the meantime... otherwise I have to re-read parts of LN 6 carefully... That one was crazy (not going to comment on it, don't worry). Hamazura is a boss because he's the only one who exceeded Crowley's expectations lol. I really doubt that Aleister's top secrets are in AC's databanks.Or that Underline even connects to those databanks. Oh of course. I mean that Mikoto can just use her electromaster powers just to hack the signal from far away... couldn't she just target some underline machine and hack it? I don't see why this isn't possible? Can't she just do it directly? This would be especially true if she had those gauntlets that let you hold tiny things that were obtained by group later. Oh... and the other reason why I said this is in LN 6 so... yeah... I'm not going to specify. I just feel like Mikoto + Shokuhou could drastically hurt Crowley's plans if they are both supporting Touma... but we'll see. First she has to find them.And I wonder if they get fried if she tries.The gauntlets are another story. I am at the point where Mugino joined Accelerator and killed a Dark Matter Sister Nice! That is a really good part. The ending is great, you will love it. I really enjoy the part you are at right now. Look forward to finishing it. Anyway, I have a questoin: Do you kind of agree with the following statement (this is a railgun thread after all, technically): Many of the good characters in Index LN's will not be animated for a very long time... or at least for a while... I feel that Kamachi is partly just using Railgun in order to animate a lot of other Index characters who are coming much later and also incorporate them into earlier arcs of the story in a way he can't really do anymore in Index LN's. This way he can have deeper character storylines for lots of other characters. I love railgun as a series. However... I just have a feeling that Kamachi is basically using railgun as a means to be creative and fix things in hindsight... anyone else feel like that that has read the Light Novels? I mean he has made it pretty clear he prefers Index to Mikoto and gave Mikoto her own side-series because he didn't want to have too much of her in Index, right? I mean it took long enough for Mikoto to join the fight... seriously... (you'll get this reference when you finish the last page of the LN, not a spoiler). I think that Raigun(manga) was made for Misaka and co to have more development since they belong to the science side way more than even Hamazura belongs who has nothing related to the magic side anyway and so they cant take big roles iin Index(well when they DO appear shit goes down/major-awesome- events (Like Uiharu during the Battle Royale Arc )happen. Surely the Railgun manga made Index even better but I dont think that except the Sister's arc anything else was "fixed". And unless Kamachi had to give permission for the second season(I dont know how the industry works)I doubt he decided to use Railgun for ITEM and Misaki.If he wanted that he would just go for Index 3(even if Misaki wouldnt appear there either).. Index 2 ended with pretty much making sure that the viewer understood that a global war was coming,Terra appeared(well ...voice only),Fiamma was mentioned,and Hamazura's debut was made and GROUP was formed. If they dont plan to animate the rest I dont get why they wasted money on that SS whose biggest point was to introduce Hamazura and didnt just end it with a "shounen line": "No matter what comes in the future we will overcome it"? I mean we get to see ITEM pre-Hamazura. We get to see Misaki pre-NT We get to see Gunha pre-NT (if he comes in eventually) We get to see more Gensei and learn more about Kihara's We get to Xochitl early, and get some backstory on her. We get to Member, we get to school garden and tokiwadai pre LN 7. We get to idea of level upper network before Rikou... or idea of Fuse Kazakiri fully explained We get to see more of the darkside of academy city. We learn more about esper development/abilities (air handle + more) We learn about level 0's who are nice who don't have some crazy mystical powers (i.e. Saten) We see more of Yomikawa in a way not seen in Index. We see Accelerator's real opinion on the experiment and during fight with Touma. We learn about contrast with what it taught versus Parameter List we see later on in Index. If Railgun goes far enough, we will probably see what the girls are doing during world war III which will be really nice to see. Sister's arc was added to immensely. We learn about the testament machine. We see really early signs of The dark side trying to implant negative/evil emotions in level 5's something even in most of the NT's And yeah a more developed academy city and Mikoto. I think these are all things unique to railgun. Plus, we see early cameos and drawings in manga form (finally) of Kakine, Sogita, Shokuhou, Mugino, Xochitl, Baba, and others... This helps me visualize some of the characters from the LN's. Too bad there most likely isn't going to be any Dragon, God, or Almost-God, or lightning god, or others and yes that was a tease... It makes me sad... I want a season 7 already :) and all of the other seasons before season 7 they would have to make as well, of course :D |

Making the level 5's appear in railgun was pretty cool IMO, In Index novels they take ages to appear. The best thing about The science side is the darkness of AC and the level 5's. It just a blast to see them getting animated and seeing them do shit. Gunha, Mugino and Misaki. Best thing they ever did in Railgun. Railgun is also to keep Academy city relevant and give it more importance. In the index novels theres only 2 arcs in academy city and related to espers(not counting acqua of the back arc as it was more related to imagine breaker and the magic side rather than the science side even though it took place in academy city). The rest is all Magic side. The creator is using railgun as a way to keep both Academy city(science) and the magic side balance in importance. When index gets animate new comers to the series will be familiarized with these people and can enjoy them more. I see no problem if the Underground factions like ITEM and MEMBER appear before hand or the level 5's, makes it better. The thing is that Kakine, probably the most anticipated Level 5, still hasnt gotten shown or animated. Just a quick short cameo in the manga. KAAAKINE. |

I actually forget btw, what chapter does Kakine make his very brief cameo in from Railgun? I think it was somewhere before the Festival Arc but I can't remember. Anyways, I hope to most of the level 5's make a physical appearance in Railgun. |

It'd be a shout-out saying: you better read everything related to the Index universe or else you'll get introduced to characters like #6 much later in the LN's. That would actually be kind of funny. I feel like putting Misaki was already strategically very good. I feel like Kakine would be too powerful/cruel in railgun and wouldn't really fit until later on. At this point, Mikoto couldn't face him. We only see the comical side of Kakine in the railgun manga. In the LN's, he's at least a "little" scarier. Kakine will appear in Index 3 anime anyway. Plus, Mugino is probably more anticipated in railgun S. Meltdowner versus Railgun... I'm actually more excited about seeing Meltdowner versus H-factor animated. (I decided to give you know who that nickname because it makes him sound cooler than the toy that he is for the rest of ITEM). I don't remember what chapter that was in... I think it was 43 or 44. Because this was right before Misaki and Gunha gave the speech because they were recruiting people for it, right? Edit: clarified #6 level 5, my bad. |

Because this was right before Misaki and Gunha gave the speech because they were recruiting people for it, right? Level 6 or the 6th level 5 esper? I'm getting sort of confused on your statement. Anyways, I agree that Kakine's real appearance would definitely be in Index III (if that ever becomes adapted). Also, with Mugino in the Sister's Arc, I'm curious on how well J.C. Staff will adapt the arc. I am certain that the OP song is misleading and is just for decorative purposes. As regarding Kakine, I just checked the manga his name is given as #2 on page 3 of chapter 43. He's also drawn from pages 9 from the same chapter ; as one of the cases. I think it's case #3. |

Its case #2 they use the same number that their ranked as level 5's. Misaka was case 3, accelerator was case 1 and so forth. But yeah, The 6th level 5 will probably have a huge role. Like hes never talked about or seen I think he somehow is aligned with the magicians as a Academy city representative, the same way Tsuchimikado is for the magicians in academy city. Well not representative but you get the idea. Do you think Kakine getting mutilated by accelerator will be changed or off screen or something? I doubt they would animated him getting torn to pieces. |

There is a big difference between #6 and Misaki. Misaki was mentioned several times in the Index LN unlike #6 that still is just #6.Hell we even got info on the possible 8th(not rank) Level 5 but #6 still remains a mystery. I guess that the scene will be by the "POV" of the Black Wings, approaching Kakine in High speed and then we will just see blood spurting out. It took me a while to figure out who H-factor is.Couldnt you just use the epithet "Irregular".Sound even cooler to me. BTW I finished NT6.Damn "Kakine Teikoku" is something else now.Even getting his own urban legend. |

And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus |

Episode 4 was pretty good: the ending almost me cry out in happiness. There will be blood. There will be violence. This will be an animation of the manga version which will be amazing. Also, volume 6 left me with some interesting questions... like who is that Kihara For volume 7 of NT do you guys want to make a discussion thread at some point in the LN's section? I don't think there are any discussion threads there at all. This way we would pretty much be able to talk about anything Index/railgun related because NT 7 happens at Tokiwadai and is still a main Index series novel. |

I was like "Oh shi----" in the beginning.Well as the will of the entire network she must be "older" than the rest of the chars.Or maybe she is, "personality" wise,the same as a higher being, like Aiwass. And it/she is right.Accelerator should o on a rampage for what he or others did to them. Well that happened with every char in the show so far. There are 21 Kiharas mentioned so far,and we know only about 8 of them(including Kagun and Nayuta). She is the same female Kihara that appeared in the end of NT4.Should I say that she is the 9th Kihara we know about? The thread will be dead unless you count the usual 4-5 users that post in this subforum.Unless this makes the start for the LN section of Index to be lively. If one is to be made lets do this after the translation finishes.... |

At that point, I was hooked and started reading the novels as B-T translated all of them (this was long before B-T had translated all of the novels). I soon met someone in my high school anime club who was an LN reader a couple of years ago and I even got a friend to start reading the novels. He's up to NT4 barring all of the SS Volumes. But yeah, Index LN readers are a rare breed in the US since people seem to be defiant Railgun Purists in the US. I do feel, however, that official English translations of the novels would be a bad idea. I would probably buy them but that means that B-T would stop translating volumes of the novels. Plus, it could end up like Shakugan no Shana did with the production stopping after only two of the novels were released in the states. From what I hear, the 6th Level 5 is named Aihana Etsu |

At that point, I was hooked and started reading the novels as B-T translated all of them (this was long before B-T had translated all of the novels). I soon met someone in my high school anime club who was an LN reader a couple of years ago and I even got a friend to start reading the novels. He's up to NT4 barring all of the SS Volumes. But yeah, Index LN readers are a rare breed in the US since people seem to be defiant Railgun Purists in the US. I do feel, however, that official English translations of the novels would be a bad idea. I would probably buy them but that means that B-T would stop translating volumes of the novels. Plus, it could end up like Shakugan no Shana did with the production stopping after only two of the novels were released in the states. From what I hear, the 6th Level 5 is named Aihana Etsu |

Then the volume gets translated and it turns out the spoilers were absolutely right. Now, the spoilers for NT07 have been released a couple of days ago and most people learned from their mistakes and accepted the spoilers. Hell, here they are: To Aru Majutsu No Index & Railgun Fan Page To Aru Majutsu No Index New Testament Volume 7 SPOILERS translated by js06!! WARNING DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED!: . . . >Touma wakes up in a closed room. Tsuchimikado calls him saying a Vajrayana magician named Umesaki Yuuga has entered the city and is using a spiritual item called Platform of the Wisdom King in the School Garden to steal the knowledge and powers of the city's espers. >Touma realizes he is in a box in a girl's locker room. The girls think he is trying to take hidden photo, so they chase him out. >Mikoto spots him running away and Misaki controls all of the girls to contact Touma. He explains the situation and Misaki gives him a map of the School Garden to help. >While searching for the spiritual item, Touma sees news of Maika having burned to death in her dorm. >When Tsuchimikado hears, he heads out to take revenge on the person who did it. >Maika was an unrelated girl taken from a non-AC orphanage as a fake family to help Tsuchimikado infiltrate the city. >Tsuchimikado learns the board of directors was involved. He threatens one of them (Yakumi Hisako) and learns that Kaizumi Tsugutoshi was behind it. >When Kumokawa Seria learns Tsuchimikado is coming to attack, she lessens the defenses and lures him in. >She almost defeats him despite having her right eye gouged out, but Tsuchimikado uses the eye in a spell and defeats her. >Before passing out, Kumokawa emails Touma for help. >Tsuchimikado reaches Kaizumi, but Kaizumi sees through to the fact that Tsuchimikado himself killed Maika. >He was investigating the Agitate Halation project and learned that his enemies would attack Maika, so he preemptively burned down her dorm to fake her death. >Maika is actually safely cleaning an empty car factory. >He is still angry at having to break his vow to keep her uninvolved with the city's dark side, so he vows to eliminate everyone involved in the project. >Tsuchimikado captures and tortures Kaizumi, but Kaizumi says he will be unable to kill him because the heroes will soon be arriving. It turns out Kaizuki was not behind the project and was actually trying to stop it as well. >Touma arrives due to Kumokawa's email. >Tsuchimikado had most feared Touma's interference, so he had given him the fake info about a magician to keep him busy. >Instead of explaining, Tsuchimikado fights and defeats Touma. Touma is angry and Kaizumi explains the situation and gives him data on the Agitate Halation project. >The project artificially makes Fremea a target of protection that uses a sense of justice and a desire to protect in order to control all the "heroes" surrounding her so that they will defeat each other. >Yakumi Hisako of the board of directors is behind it. >She wants to have Kuroyoru kill Fremea which is why Kuroyoru has been left alive. >Shiage and Saiai notice something is wrong while monitoring Fremea's dorm room. >It turns out the white rhino beetle (Kakine) sensed danger to her and took her away. >Yakumi appears before Shiage and Saiai and attacks with a swarm of selectively bred man-eating roaches.

He knows they can't kill him because they need him as bait for the project, so he suggests a plan to Kuroyoru using that fact. >Kuroyoru doesn't trust him and refuses to go along with it, so his plan fails. He is injured and can no longer fight.

Misaki sees him from afar and sees that this is a fake #6. The #6's name is Aihana Etsu. >Touma finds Fremea, but then the supposedly defeated Rensa appears. >Rensa names herself #29 and says she is here because Rensa #28 from before failed. >According to #28, Rensa's body cost enough to put a major dent in the entire city's assets, but the human part (the hypothalamus) can be replaced and they have up to #40 stocked up. >Rensa tries to destroy the project with a bomb, but it does not go off and she uses Kakine instead. >Just before being fully taken over by Yakumi, Kakine had severed an insect-sized portion of himself which tracked down Fremea and disarmed the bomb. >Touma and Kakine confront Rensa #29. >Rensa #29 uses her cyborg abilities to seal off Touma's precog and uses Accelerator's black wings to attack and defeat Touma >As Fremea watches, she strongly wishes to protect rather than be protected and becomes able to see Yakumi in the form of an AIM thought being. >This causes Fremea to no longer be a target of protection and destroys the Agitate Halation project >Fremea can now interfere with the AIM thought being and unwittingly sends Yakumi into Rensa. >This causes Rensa's body to go out of control just like when she tried to take in IB, but she still managed to bring out Accelerator's white wings. >Her being sent out of control brings back Touma's precog and he face punches her into submission >IB negated most of the thought being, but Yakumi escapes via the backup prepared in the man-eating roaches. >However, Fraulein Kreutune appears and eats enough of her to neutralize her. >Touma, Shiage, and Kuroyoru are sent to the same hospital and Hamazura hears about everything from Touma >Touma retrieved all the living parts of the 40 Rensas and left them with a doctor >Tsuchimikado is shot by Kumokawa and Kumokawa reports he has been killed to Kaizumi, but she faked it with a paint bullet filled with his blood.

ssjokg said: There's a supposedly "informant" that leaks this. It was the same with NT6 a few months back. Everyone didn't believe them at first because of its content(Rhinoceros Beetle Kakine) but you saw how NT6 was. Now we have some "spoilers" for NT7 but reading them, I'm inclined to only believe half of it. It just doesn't seem to be true considering what what mentioned there but again, NT6.Isnt NT7 coming out in about 6 days.How did that spoiler came to be? Take those spoilers how you will I guess. The real deal will be when the actual volume comes out and I'll judge whether Kamachi is trolling again or not. |

OH sorry, I didn't even know I could get messages. It just showed a question mark near it so I must have ignored it. I never knew I got any. Will respond ASAP sorry XD. What's 2ch? |

Spoiler Alert: >Touma: If I told you this was magic, you wouldn't understand. >Misaki: Oh? Saying that at a time like this is certainly a lot like you. Althought I am more annoyed than impressed. >Touma: What? Have you seen magic before? >Misaki: I don't know anything about that. But I have a reasion to trust what you say that has nothing to do with that cheap nonsense. >Touma: What do you mean? Have we met before by any chance? >Misaki: If you are referring to a side event during the Daihaseisai, you are way off. You are always like this. That may be the proper form for our relationship ability. No matter how many times I ask or pass by, the answer is always the same. If I say this, you may get angry just like that one time, but that may just be what I get for having this power. After all, there is no logical way to explain these repeated coincidences. ------------ It has been confirmed. Misaki did know Touma prior to his memory loss. However, the details are still unknown. The osananajimi route has finally been unlocked! Second: The spoilers floating around the internet are correct [the stuff with Rensa, Agitate Halation, etc.]. The illustrations have started to float around since early this morning and they seem to pretty much confirm everything. Here is an illustration: |

Now officially the hugest harem in history even without the sisters. She can easily add anyone else he wants to his harem Again, we still don't know the details but I think a lot of people called it. :P BTW, NT07 Character Designs: New Testament 07 Character Designs and translations of the site by js06 (the god who translates the novels) http://r-s.sakura.ne.jp/w/n/ni_c07.jpg The cover for New Testament 7. This is Shokuhou-san's first actual appearance in the main novels. This was the first time I had drawn her in a proper color illustrations and you can tell I wasn't used to it... By the way, my first candidate for a cover was Tsuchimikado and the elder Kumokawa sister. For why it was switched to the Tokiwadai Level 5 pair, see my comments on the cover rough. http://r-s.sakura.ne.jp/w/n/ni_r22.jpg Various People Part 1. Given his actions this time, I thought it would make sense for Tsuchimikado to disguise himself, so I changed the blond hair to brown hair, the sunglasses to silver square glasses, and the Hawaiian shirt to a black suit and red vest. Fusou-san's original design had to be redone, so my explanation for her is with the next rough. The paper bag bunny was one of the standard patterns where I end up with a really lame design because I don't have a good grasp on the character...but it was decided she would not be in any of the illustrations right after I made this rough, so the rejected design was the last one. If she ever shows up again, this design will not be used (i.e. I will redesign her). http://r-s.sakura.ne.jp/w/n/ni_r23.jpg Various People Part 2. When I gave Fusou-san sarouel pants as instructed, I thought she looked a bit like Aladdin and added other aspects such as the crown, the magic lamps, the picture book charm, and the prisoner's chain. Ms. Yakumi is the female character with the least need for prominent characteristics or a deformed style, so I didn't give her any. After all, not only did she have no such characteristics in the novel, but she even lost her form as a human. http://r-s.sakura.ne.jp/w/n/ni_r24.jpg Various People Part 3. Fräulein has gotten a lot smaller and rounder in a very literal way. However, the see-through robe adds a lot of lines, so it does not work well in black and white illustrations. That is why I did away with seeing through to her innerwear. Bobbed hair girl (controlled by: Shokuhou-san) did not need much in the way of character, so I designed her so she could blend into all the background characters...but as you will see below, I still had to redraw her. http://r-s.sakura.ne.jp/w/n/ni_r25.jpg School Garden uniforms. I revised bobbed hair girl because her uniform was too close to Sakugawa Middle's, but there are relatively few designs and patterns for a realistic sailor uniform. In fact, sailor uniforms are made to have no noticeable characteristics (i.e. they are supposed to look "normal"). I worried quite a bit over how to make it "unique". I originally designed the Shidarezakura uniform to draw the girls from Kamijou's initial locker room scene, but I realized I had already used all the stereotypical high class girls school uniform types. I decided to use this as a chance to create some different samples. The approved version is the one on the right. Oh, and just ignore who I used as the model for the Shidarezakura uniform. http://r-s.sakura.ne.jp/w/n/ni_r26.jpg Rensa #028. Just like Ms. Yakumi, she did not need any individuality (for story reasons), so that was how I designed her.

I so called this: exactly in that form.... lol By the way about the first spoiler, he now has her + all of her different cliques in his harem :) lol. Now officially the hugest harem in history even without the sisters. She can easily add anyone else he wants to his harem Again, we still don't know the details but I think a lot of people called it. :P BTW, NT07 Character Designs: New Testament 07 Character Designs and translations of the site by js06 (the god who translates the novels) http://r-s.sakura.ne.jp/w/n/ni_c07.jpg The cover for New Testament 7. This is Shokuhou-san's first actual appearance in the main novels. This was the first time I had drawn her in a proper color illustrations and you can tell I wasn't used to it... By the way, my first candidate for a cover was Tsuchimikado and the elder Kumokawa sister. For why it was switched to the Tokiwadai Level 5 pair, see my comments on the cover rough. http://r-s.sakura.ne.jp/w/n/ni_r22.jpg Various People Part 1. Given his actions this time, I thought it would make sense for Tsuchimikado to disguise himself, so I changed the blond hair to brown hair, the sunglasses to silver square glasses, and the Hawaiian shirt to a black suit and red vest. Fusou-san's original design had to be redone, so my explanation for her is with the next rough. The paper bag bunny was one of the standard patterns where I end up with a really lame design because I don't have a good grasp on the character...but it was decided she would not be in any of the illustrations right after I made this rough, so the rejected design was the last one. If she ever shows up again, this design will not be used (i.e. I will redesign her). http://r-s.sakura.ne.jp/w/n/ni_r23.jpg Various People Part 2. When I gave Fusou-san sarouel pants as instructed, I thought she looked a bit like Aladdin and added other aspects such as the crown, the magic lamps, the picture book charm, and the prisoner's chain. Ms. Yakumi is the female character with the least need for prominent characteristics or a deformed style, so I didn't give her any. After all, not only did she have no such characteristics in the novel, but she even lost her form as a human. http://r-s.sakura.ne.jp/w/n/ni_r24.jpg Various People Part 3. Fräulein has gotten a lot smaller and rounder in a very literal way. However, the see-through robe adds a lot of lines, so it does not work well in black and white illustrations. That is why I did away with seeing through to her innerwear. Bobbed hair girl (controlled by: Shokuhou-san) did not need much in the way of character, so I designed her so she could blend into all the background characters...but as you will see below, I still had to redraw her. http://r-s.sakura.ne.jp/w/n/ni_r25.jpg School Garden uniforms. I revised bobbed hair girl because her uniform was too close to Sakugawa Middle's, but there are relatively few designs and patterns for a realistic sailor uniform. In fact, sailor uniforms are made to have no noticeable characteristics (i.e. they are supposed to look "normal"). I worried quite a bit over how to make it "unique". I originally designed the Shidarezakura uniform to draw the girls from Kamijou's initial locker room scene, but I realized I had already used all the stereotypical high class girls school uniform types. I decided to use this as a chance to create some different samples. The approved version is the one on the right. Oh, and just ignore who I used as the model for the Shidarezakura uniform. http://r-s.sakura.ne.jp/w/n/ni_r26.jpg Rensa #028.

"among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus |

I think you may have misread something. Not 100% sure since it's raw version and I can't understand Japanese... But from what I can gather: I think my other predictions are true about Misaki... I think. lol She has clones :) I might have misunderstood, but the middle photo here kinda of makes me think I'm right. http://raw.senmanga.com/To_Aru_Kagaku_no_Railgun/59/11 ... yep Or... something even worse. This is probably what Touma helped her with |

dniv said: I don't think so. Misaki said that she wasn't referring to that meeting in Daihasesai, which means it's definitely before that. Which means yep Or... something even worse. This is probably what Touma helped her with pre-amnesia Touma meeting and helping Misaki, just like with Misaka. Oh god, I'm suddenly reminded of that part in F/SN with Sakura and Rin both watching Shirou in the grounds. Which in turn made them interested in Shirou, or in this case, Touma. Well, kind of the same with both girls sharing the same experience with the MC and the MC not remembering about it but you get the picture. |

Accelerator: "People have done this much to you. Sorry for taking so long...to save you". "You’re really pitiful. Listen, I’ll tell you one thing. That day, my brain was damaged alright. Looking at me now, you should know, right? ...But then again, just because I’ve gotten weaker, it doesn’t mean that you got stronger, RIGHT?" “A Villain that’s no better than a piece of shit.” "This is not a negotiation, a suggestion, a deal, an entreaty, an agreement, a compromise, or a capitulation. It’s my triumphant return, you fuckers." |
