| Sorryssjokg, but since I don't know if your spoiler is about the manga or the 7th LN of NT, I didn't dare to read it. Brotwo said: Zefyris said: Brotwo said: Moe life that is, she doesn't give a shit about how many peoples' lives the cute little assassin would end. . You do realize that it's not up to normal citizen to decide of that kind of thing. If anything, stopping her without killing her and handing her to Antiskill would be the right path. Except that under those circumstances, Misaka can't really go explain what she was doing in the lab to antiskill, right. That's still not an excuse to become a killer. Well if the only options are to let a murderer who is still murdering go lose or to kill that murderer, then there's no reason aside from personal feelings to let the murderer go unless you value the life of the murderer more than the life of their future victims or have the will/power/confidence/tenacity to prevent any future murders by said murderer. Of course, as you said an alternative would be preferable in any case. Though aside from crippling the girl or turning herself in with her, I can't think of any. Both of which are still way better than just letting her walk though which is by far the most naive selfish and stupid thing one can do and isn't "level headed" at all for this case. Well, a few things 1) You're still asking a 14 years old girl to kill someone 2) She doesn't really know if Frenda killed someone in the past, nor if she'll kill again later . Heck, I don't think it was ever mentioned if Frenda killed someone before in the manga or the LN(although she probably did given her personality). Amongst ITEM members, I'm pertty sure that Takitsubo never directly killed anyone for example. Kinuhita is quite the fighter so she probably killed quite a good amount. The real mad killer among the 4 of them is Mugino anyway, not Frenda. 3) Without Mugino's intervention here, this may have led to Misaka handing her over Antiskill by one way or another (she can hack into antiskill's systems if needed after all), but she never had a chance to choose properly, let alone to do it 4) That's still not her job and that would still make her a criminal by killing her. Well, you could say that she's already a criminal by destroying facilities, but between a terrorist just destroying things and someone who kill, there's quite a gap... |

| Misaka seems to be holding back a bit but i guess we will see her at full power next episode. It was a pretty nice episode tho really liked how that girl underestimated Misaka seems they don't know their dealing with a level five she only mentioned her level was on pair with that of a level five. Now that all of those mercenaries are in the building with Misaka that means Nunotaba won't have anyone standing in her way they sabotage the project on her end. And from the looks of it Misaka doesn't have to destroy much since those mercenaries are doing it for her. |

Well, you could say that she's already a criminal by destroying facilities, but between a terrorist just destroying things and someone who kill, there's quite a gap... 1. True, as I said though - aside from personal feelings. 14 years old isn't really that young anyway, in the U.S. you can join the army at 17. 2. Misaka knows she's a pro at her work and that she doesn't care about who hires her and for what, so I think it's reasonable for Misaka to make the connections. Also, bombing people is directly killing them - that car bomb at the start for example, no way those guys survived. I agree with 3 and 4 for the most part now that I think about it more, only gripe would be "not her job" doesn't really excuse her of fault from not doing anything when capable. Though if she just didn't have time and was going to hand her over to antiskill somehow, she's good. Well, I agree with a lot of your points and I don't really see it as a silly aspect now that I've thought about it more - thanks. I'll just go with that she didn't get a chance to hand her over to antiskill and I'm satisfied. |
| Oh yes. Frenda's so cute! The voice fits her! Love the battle between her and Misaka. But this is going to get more exciting now Meltdowner's here!!! Expecting a good battle! |

| Man this fucking season is so good. Better than the first season for sure, better than every raildex so far. |
| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| Brilliant episode!!! Finally ITEM debuts in this arc Misaka VS Frenda was a good watch as it was packed with decent action. Frenda was quite clever with her tricks but against the Railgun (which she hasn't noticed that she is a definite Level 5) it will be very hard to make her fall. Seems like Mugino will be versing Misaka next and it was a good adaptation from the manga. Looking forward to the next episode!! 5/5 |
  |
| So I know what I'm going to do now after I finish watching this season. |
| Alright I think this is now my favorite episode in the Railgun series. |
| This fight sure was amazing.Frenda is so cute and awesome *q* great episode in general.Can't wait to see whats next. |

| omfg I'm digging Frenda :D the voice suits her too, and looks like all the good stuff is starting now hopefully Touma makes an apperance soon |

SuperFunSize said: I wish Misaka would stop being such a pussy and just kill her enemies... Defeats the point of stopping the experiments. |
| Fantastic episode! I didn't believe it when the episode is over how short this episode was... Now I have a question, Misaka is the third strongest level 5 and Accelerator is the first so who is the second ? Meltdowner ? |

In the end, I think she is the second weakest of the six whom we have met with Misaki being the weakest since her power is not entirely meant to be used in combat. Number 6 remains a mystery so we still have no idea who he is. Number 1 and 2 are in completely different leagues compared to 3-7. Number 7 can catch Mikoto's Railgun in his teeth and Number 4 is more powerful than Mikoto but also more unstable. |

| Wow, Frenda's so unbelievably haughty, yet in the end she cries like a little bi--. I wonder if Mikoto could stand a chance against the whole of ITEM, including one lvl 5. Looking forward to it! |
 |
| Easily the best episode so far. That Frenda. She has a terrible personality, but she's still sooo cute. I don't understand. |
 |
| CreationBreaker > Depend what you would call "powerfull". Actually I guess Misaki could hack every lvl5 minds, except Misaka, so... And Gunha's the man, also :D. |
Aerindel said: CreationBreaker > Depend what you would call "powerfull". Actually I guess Misaki could hack every lvl5 minds, except Misaka, so... And Gunha's the man, also :D. Misaki would fail if she tried on Kakine (thanks to Dark Matter) or Accelerator (thanks to his passive vector reflection barrier). At the same time, I doubt (based on the similarity of Mikoto's and Mugino's powers at the fundamental level) she would be able to control Mugino either. Not to mention that Misaki's power is like Musujime Awaki's as they both have high degrees of freedom. At the same time, Misaki even told Touma flat out (in the most recent Index novel) what the limits of her power are. Gunha is just awesomeness incarnate. I would love to see the day when he and Touma meet. :P |

Oh would i like to see Misaki vs either Accelerator or Dark Matter, it would be a good laugh. She wouldn't do that. She's not exactly the type of person who would pick a fight she couldn't win. dniv said: They almost met :( Hope it will happen soon. But also, if you're asking about what they are doing. I will say Mugino's power as you saw at the end of the episode is easily stronger than Mikoto's. Don't forget that Mikoto is also tired now though. The most important fact to remember that Mikoto is "nice" while Mugino is not. Playing dirty makes you a lot stronger just naturally. Anyway, next two episodes will answer a lot of your guys's questions because they make a few of these points more clear. I remember that it was at some point stated that Mugino is much stronger than Mikoto but as evidenced by Not only is Mugino |

| Great episode. This anime needs more death though. |

CreationBreaker said: Mugino is stronger than Mikoto only in terms of firepower and damage output. Mikoto is still above in terms of practical application and versatility of her powers.I remember that it was at some point stated that Mugino is much stronger than Mikoto but as evidenced by Not only is Mugino Let's just hope JC Staff has the budget to animate the next episode properly. I want to see inb4 Mikasa jokes. |

belatkuro said: Mugino is stronger than Mikoto only in terms of firepower and damage output. Mikoto is still above in terms of practical application and versatility of her powers. Don't forget control and stability of the power. Because of the fact that Mugino has more raw power, she needs to have a lot more control with it. I would think that practical application (this includes relevance to AC's research), however, is mainly why Mikoto is #3 and why Mugino is #4. I'm sure there are other factors but the practical application should be the main reason. belatkuro said: Let's just hope JC Staff has the budget to animate the next episode properly. I want to see This. Frankly, though...JC Staff is rolling in Box Office Money from Miracle of Endymion so I'm pretty sure that they have the necessary budget for next episode's ITEM vs Mikoto battle. Miracle of Endymion was pretty much a successful gamble on JC Staff's part. :P The lack of Fre|nda jokes here is disconcerting.... |

| As if vector manipulation wasn't a broken ability already. And I don't think Kuroko is capable of that complicated of a calculation to be able to do that. Teleportation involving 11th dimension calculations are difficult enough as it is. And she already has limitations of her powers even at Level 4 so pushing it beyond that is pretty much impossible. Additionally, (LN spoiler) Lastly, Accelerator and Dark Matter are already the top powers so I don't think Kamachi will add any more broken powers beyond manipulating vectors and So no. |

| Ugh....I really hate that loli bitch! |
sheepling said: We never really got an illustration of them I think(maybe in the PSP game that I havent played).Frenda's voice was a little too grating. Saiai's voice was too monotonous. The fight felt a little slow, but I guess that's to be expected of a manga adaptation. That said, 4.5/5 nearly perfect episode. I'm really pumped for Mugino vs Mikoto. This season is abnormally good for a Index/Railgun adaptation. PS: Why are Mugino's lazer beams green? I don't mind it much but I thought it was supposed to be white. Others(me included) thought they where yellow or golden...oh well... |
| Mugino's lasers were also white in the PSP game. Here's a match in the PSP of Mugino vs Misaka: Imagine if Mugino would really finish off Misaka like that :)) |

sheepling said: Yeah I just checked it....You probably are the only one that remembered it correctly.The Index novels mentioned they were white though. So we did JC changed that? |
ssjokg said: sheepling said: Yeah I just checked it....You probably are the only one that remembered it correctly.The Index novels mentioned they were white though. So we did JC changed that? I must say that JC has done a good job. The green color has much more impact than white. |

| Mikoto once again demonstrates why she's considered as one of the seven most powerful espers in all of Academy City. She's not so easily going to lose to someone who isn't a level 5 or isn't named Touma, though it was a pretty flashy fight with her opponent's tactics. Next episode is promising to be even more intense with the rest of ITEM, or at least the apparent leader and one other member facing Mikoto next. It's good to see that Nunotaba is on Mikoto's side in actively trying to shut down the experiments as well. Gotta be more careful in these threads, too many eager LN and manga readers spouting spoilers left and right... |
And now I love the OP even more: |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Frenda is cute. Misaka is badass. What else to add? |
