In that case you don't need physical strength. The one able to manipulate everyone to kill each other is the strongest character.

The issue with that is that Misaki, who would be the one to manipulate everyone, would still fail against Mikoto, #2, Accelerator, and most likely, Mugino.

We know too little about the #7's power to say anything about it in that respect.

So that girl was a level 5 after all somehow i am not surprised still she does hold the advantage over Misaka since she still has enough energy to fight.
Hopefully Misaka will come up with a plan to defend herself from that girl.
This is the second time we see a fight between level fives this season i wonder what else this season got in store for us.


I wonder whether there's any chance of Accelerator coming along, I don't know how Misaka can win (without shounen hax) considering how exhausted she is compared to Meltdowner.


There are ways. NOBODY else intervenes. Just watch the next episode. You'll see how things work.


At least it sounds exciting. Is Touma making an appearance this season? A proper one I mean.


He will..soon...
Not for another two weeks, though...

That is only according to Academy City's ranking System.
In terms of power, though, it's more like this:
1st-Accelerator
1.5th-Suzushina Yuriko (joke LAWL)
2nd-#2 from above
3rd-Mugino Shizuri
4th-#7 from above list
5th-Misaka Mikoto
6th-Shokuhou Misaki

This of course excludes the #6 as we have no clue where to place him yet.

I wouldn't place #7 that high as well given how unknown his power is. For all we know he might be stronger than Mugino. He did after all

And Misaka did well in this episode despite being sleep deprived so I wouldn't say she's weaker that Mugino. Next episode also proves that.

We can't really categorize the other Level 5s(including #6) until Kamachi gets it together with the #6 and #7.
Accel and #2 are on a whole different league so we can leave them at the top. Misaki is definitely the weakest though.


Mugino is more powerful (raw power). Her power is just less stable, that's all.
Plus,



I still think Mikoto is stronger then Mugino but you do make an valid point tho.

Last Order


Couldn't they just be considered to be human emotions and human tendencies which are mostly suppressed by the huge amount of information they'd been subjected to? Did it ever say that it's actually supposed to destroy emotions? (Serious question, it's been quite a while for me on a few counts)

On the topic of Mikoto vs. Gunha,

When it comes to measuring strength, there are too many variables however. It all depends on what one individual can do in a certain situation. Different circumstances will impact the result.

Anyhow, for Mikoto I think her strength lies in her versatility and determination. She is like the caring "big sister" anyone would want, and she happens to have the power to back it up :) Being able to solve problems using wits, the environment and taking advantage of circumstances, and not only rely on pure power, is an admirable characteristic as well.

Mikoto is the kind of character that would have done anything to fight for her beliefs even if she had no power at all, and she would have found a way to make it happen. That is my impression. And that earns my respect in a whole different way than if she was able to "blow up a planet" so to say.

Also, there are some magic that do not deal with the science side of the powers so some grimoire-level magic might be able to control and manipulate Level 5 without them even noticing it.

@ Yuri-Hime
I get what you are saying (I had thought that you misread what I wrote at first).
The issue is that in a fair fight, I would say that Mugino has the advantage over Mikoto.

Oh yeah, when I saw Takitsubo's face after she took Body Crystal in this episode, I immediately thought of this scene for some reason:
Takitsubo Rikou, a girl in a track suit, was eating a corn dog she had bought at a convenience store when her sleepy eyes suddenly opened wide.

“…Hamazura is heading down a path of evil!!”

I know, right :D That was one of my favorite short scenes in the LN with her. (Hamazura wants to learn from Touma :D )

The episode was great. Can't wait for next week. That's going to be a great episode. I find it funny that people are calling ITEM horrible, cunts, blah blah blah just because they're fighting Mikoto. They're completely ignoring the fact they might have an extremely excellent backstory.

Oh yeah: that's because everyone blindly likes Mikoto that much... Mikoto's my second favorite character in Index, but the people who judge ITEM badly are acting pretty stupidly in my opinion.

ITEM's great. Almost as good as Accelerator later on.

Ultimately yeah, I would say that whoever can manipulate everyone to their deaths IS the strongest in a sense. In Death Note, Misa had more power than Light with her having the Shinigami eyes but Light was a lot smarter than her and so he was technically stronger than her as she became his pawn.

10032? Who?

Shinobu Installed the emotion-trigger program on one of MISAKA clone which appeared briefly in this episode and Daihaseisai arc (I forgot her serial number, sorry). Then it was supposedly spread trough MISAKA network, but Last Order intercept it so it won't spread further.

So, the only MISAKA clones with developed emotions (due to be contaminated by Shinobu's program) are just MISAKA 20001 and one more which I forgot.

....

you're wondering "if Last Order intercept it, why she still has the emotion? Is't she supposed to exterminate it?"? Because human's brain is not like your PCs. Last Order act as a central host, not as an antivirus. She might has stopped the spreading. But whether she can "uninstall" the program is different matter. In this case, I agree with Nolan "An idea is like a virus, resilient, highly contagious"

There is no way for that clone to BE in the Daihaseisai arc.Not to mention that Shinobu didnt do ANYTHING before this part.

ALL the Misaka clones have the same "level" of emotions.What is different is how much they show and understand.

Eh the clones' brains are very much like PCs...And Last Order stopped the connection not the "uploading".

It's called teamwork and friendship......


Two fairly major themes in anime... Well, it's okay when the heroes gang up on the villains anyway.


There seems to be a double standard amongst anime fans when it comes to the idea of teamwork. When the antagonists team up against one person, there is a "Fight your own battles" reaction whereas when the protagonists team up against one person, it's "Fuck yeah! Teamwork, bitches!"

All hail the adorable chess master!

@wakka9ca I would say that most people define a character's strength being their ability to defeat other characters and to what extent.


In that case you don't need physical strength. The one able to manipulate everyone to kill each other is the strongest character.


The issue with that is that Misaki, who would be the one to manipulate everyone, would still fail against Mikoto, #2, Accelerator, and most likely, Mugino.

We know too little about the #7's power to say anything about it in that respect.


I'm not talking about Misaki. I was referring to fact that raw power does not necessarily mean the strongest.

Also, there are some magic that do not deal with the science side of the powers so some grimoire-level magic might be able to control and manipulate Level 5 without them even noticing it.


Ultimately yeah, I would say that whoever can manipulate everyone to their deaths IS the strongest in a sense. In Death Note, Misa had more power than Light with her having the Shinigami eyes but Light was a lot smarter than her and so he was technically stronger than her as she became his pawn.

That is why mind control is one of the most feared power. A true mastermind is one whose existence itself is unknown to everyone. If your existence is unknown, you have no enemies. Thus, no opposition from heroes-wannabes. :)
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.

Too bad that we dont have anyone like that in Raildex.Everyone has at least one enemy that knows his/her existence.
