| Meh. I don't know if I'm just getting tired of anime or this episode was just okay. Decent episode I guess. |

Jarmel said: Wow nobody has battle tactics in this anime except for Mikoto. Touma could have tried and punch Accelerator while he was talking or charging plasma(any person that plays RPGs know you destroy the boss before he charges up his super attack, not to mention it's called common sense), instead Touma just waitied until Accelerator was ready. Accelerator was horrible because he didn't realize that Touma was only good at short range(which after 10,000 battles it seems you would pick up some basic strategies) and just kept rushing and kept getting pwned. I think accelerator was just way too cocky and over confident since he totally raped the last XXX number of clones. I think in most cases someone in accelerators position would have acted somewhat similar, not mention that he didn't really know what Touma's power was, so he had no way of countering it. And in theory if he threw the plasma ball thing that he was charging up, Touma could have just canceled it out. And in touma's case, rushing in while he is charging up his ball wouldn't be good either since he can control any vector, touma would have to be sure to only use his right hand, not to mention that accelerator could probably have thrown that thing at any time, he was just being greedy with how much power he wanted it to have. |
 |
| Okay, don't defend Touma for his blatant shounen-style "stay while your opponent charges up his attack" attitude. He was just standing there like some dumbass waiting for his death. Touma can block Misaka's electricity because Misaka herself creates it. Espers, in this anime, are basically altered humans who have lerned how to recreate some sort of phenomena. They are imagining what they are doing and turning that imagination into reality. Hence why the "Imagine" Breaker can dispell that power. The only times Accelerator tried to use his powers ON Touma was when he charged headfirst into Touma, seeking to rip him apart from the inside. Thaty big flashy attack he tried to do was made by manipulating the wind. The wind is real which means he couldn't stop that thing. Had Misaka not interfered Touma would have been fried. As for why Accelerator couldn't handle a punch. When you can't be hit from long range, and can't be touched, what's the point of fistfighting? He never cared for it. Whenever he closed in, he only had to touch people and they would be torn apart in some gruesome manner. |
 |
| @kawaiimisato Only a retard would do something that doesn't work again such as in this battle with Accelerator getting close and getting pwned. He should have seen how successful his earlier attacks were with the train rails and the scrap metal laying around. After 10,000 battles in different situations it seems you would pick up different tactics like long range battles (such as the case of the Mikoto clones with the sniper rifles) or short range. He didn't know what Touma's power was but he did realize that Touma could touch him which would mean automatic long range battle if he had no short range experience or hand to hand combat. However it seems that Accelerator couldn't really move when he was controlling the wind and I would have had more respect if Touma then atleast got out of the way or hid or just did something then just stand there and watch his glowy death. Touma actually should have just poked his eyes out(I know too gruesome for a shounen) so that Accelerator couldn't direct his long range vector attacks against Touma. |

| damn too late in watching this ep..in any case, touma waiting = touma resting/pwned. he still got beat up so you gotta take that into account. accelerator rushing in x10 was just his emotions controlling him. he was never punched/touched before (like the others said) and thats why he was pretty pissed. he had total confidence in himself that he can beat up someone like touma so he kept on rushing, never really stopping to think why he was getting punched or whatnot. and touma looked THAT powerful because of accelerator's own vectors. he always used his vectors to push himself toward touma, and touma's punch always sends him flying...why? newton's 3rd law that's why :P |

Antanaru said: LMAO!Don't underestimate power of the guys right hand ;] Wow, Index was sweet as hell in this episode ^^ |
 |
| It was an OK episode but i must admit that Accelerator is dumb as a rock. How can he not been able to see that Touma was only good at short range, geez. |
 |
| beach fanservice? Well that's one of the powerful 2 down, I dunno if the part onsen episode last time counts as the other but I'm sure we'll get another one anyway. To be honest I have no idea what the main plot is, hope that becomes clear eventually. |
     |
| Well now, that's what I call a 5/5. I give them out easy, but it certainly wasn't a bad episode. By any means. Also, I'll never get tired of Index biting Touma. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
De-JaY said: Haha, lol'ed when he did that XDThat was a great episode. I really liked it. BTW: Has Accelerator ever made such weird sounds before? Oô Great episode. |
 |
| I didn't really like this arc that much. I thought it was absurd for them to want that pyscho to reach an unknown level. He's already way to powerful for this mindset so they decide it'll be best to have kill tens of thousands of girls (cause that won't affect a person) and give him a crazy amount of power. |
| Episode was alrite. Misaka was cool. Her imouto at the end, the one that had Touma's hand on her boob was funny. And Index was cute when she came to see him. When it had the ominous viewpoint and showed a bit of white on the screen I knew for sure it was her. The fight was alrite. Oh and in the PV at the end I was excited to see some more Kanzaki. |
 |
| In the end bare fist defeated those vector heh.. |
 |
| The whole kill twenty thousand low level peons in order to reach level 6 sounds like an MMO grindfest really :P I wonder what happened to him though? I mean he was just temporarily knocked out, and judging by his character I bet he burns to have revenge on Touma. |
| Pretty good episode,it might not have to do anything with the main plot,but I loved that arc :D |
| WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT WAS THAT? ACCELARATOR LOST TO A MERE LVL 0 ESPER WHO DIDN'T EVEN USE HIS ABILITES? THE FUCK MAN. YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. Okay so, how did Touma dodged those high speed punches from Accelarator? Also, where did Touma get that strength to make Accelarator unconscious? Damn it, he just suddenly powered up. :( Mikoto was awesome. She's hot even though her breasts are flat. The ending was kinda touching since everyone got along again. Index was cute when she said she cared for Touma. Even though she bit Touma, she still hugged her. :3 Plus, that Misaka sister smiled in the end, very interesting. :D |
| haha it's quite amusing if Touma was actually so sexually deprived that he would grope a girl's breasts even under anesthetic. Such a pervert he is. XD |
| Index was cute but Misaka still better :D |

 |
| Why the fuck didn't Accelerator just shoot a rock at high speed at Touma? It would have been easy to kill him that way, seeing as his hand would not be able to block it. Accelerator must be a fucking dumbass to try to fight with his fists... |
| Can't believe Touma beats Accelerator with punches. O.O LMAO @ Touma when he woke up and notices his hand on MISAKA's breast. XD Looking forward to the beach episode, next. :) |
 |
kisami said: lol will he ever have any other powers other than just his hand? seems like a rather dull ability. plus hes a total haxor to just reduce everyone's abilities to zero. Indeed, I keep hoping he gets stronger os something... |
     |
| I don't know what, but I felt like I was expecting something more from this episode... Maybe it was just because we only got to see Touma fight "seriously" for such a short while? Anyway it was still a really good episode! I did like it, haha. It's awesome that all the "Misaka"s have been 'saved'... Well, at least all the remaining ones. And at least for a short while? (Something about their lifespans being shortened... Don't think I paid enough attention when Misaka was explaining that to Touma...) I thought the animation was particularly nice during the Touma x Index scene (which was cute). Misaka definitely played the role as "most awesome female character" in the past few episodes, though... Maybe because Index, Komoe, and Himegami were, for the most part, absent... Next episode... does not look appealing... kuroshiroi said: Is there supposed to be some overarching plot in this show or is it all just Touma beating up bad guys and scoring with girls? Now that you mention it... Yes, what IS the main plot?! |
| Touma is kind of the playboy, eh? Well, whatever, I liked! |
OShoranO said: Why the fuck didn't Accelerator just shoot a rock at high speed at Touma? It would have been easy to kill him that way, seeing as his hand would not be able to block it. Accelerator must be a fucking dumbass to try to fight with his fists... Probably due to his cockiness and arrogance. Accelerator wanted to toy around with him but it ended up biting him in the ass and once he lost his temper when the plasma ball disappeared, it all went downhill for poor ol' Accelerator. |
 |
| Looks like he's raking up his frequent flyer miles points in the hospital again... and such misfortune too with numb right hand under anesthesia! LOL |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
lightychan said: I loved this episode :D And the fight was good for me. Its not like a 5 episode fight like in Naruto or Bleach :P this i hate that |
     |
| In the end Accelerator was as fragile as glass. ^^ Pretty good fight and I love the outcome. Hopefully MISAKA will be alright though, even though she's just one of many... Next up looks like a filler, but I sense some Misaka goodness! =3 |
 |
| Loved this episode mainly because im glad that prick Accelerator is out of the way. I was sort of expecting him to have a troubled past that explains his nature but since there was none of that im content with disliking him. Hurray for Kaori in the next eps preview! |
  |
Kvakond said: OK episode but nothing epic about it. Over-confidence + physical weakness -> sooner or later your ass will be handed to you. Accelerater ended up to be just another retard. I mean you try to touch the guy but he punches you in the face (although he shouldn't be able to do that). What you do? Try to get near him 5 more times, then create a ball of plasma, and when that fails you try to get near him again. Anyway, it would have been cool to see Misaka using the railgun even if she'd die instantly. Sacrifice yourself so we could see the railgun!! Well at least Index made yet another guest appearance. And here I was thinking that she'll only remain in the title of the show (for legal reasons only). PS.: Originally I wanted to ask what they'll do in the next 10 episodes, but then I saw the preview. Maybe after the beach episode there will be a School festival ep with cosplay cafe and after that a Hot spring ep Holy shit I lol'ed so hard |
| aside from the fight the part where index hugs touma in the back was the best <3 |
| wow, loved this episdoe. the fighting, and the background music. the moment with index (where the hell has she been all this time?!!?) was super adorable Antanaru said: Don't underestimate power of the guys right hand ;] Wow, Index was sweet as hell in this episode ^^ yep, totally agree. he may have 1 simple power. but whatever god-mode crap you throw at it its done for. |
     |
| To Aru Majutsu no Index - successfully DROPPED. Total disappointment for me. Fanservice, moe, kittens (I do love cats, but this perpetual "mew" in the middle of a scene annoyed me very much), loads of moe-girl, the whole story of Index is forgotten and she plays now only this nerve-racking moe-KAWAIIIII-role. Hate this stuff. The whole battle agains Accelerator was too simple, why was he standing SO LONG accumulating plasma? And then got beaten by this pretentious schoolboy. WHY didn't he use distant attacks, he actually saw that they were effective?! And saw that beating Touma with his fists was wasting of time (my time too). Too much moe, fanservice and kawaii, too much causeless emotions and deeds, immortal schoolboy and so on - I got really sick and tired of this stuff. I want my time back. |
| I'm actually enjoying Index's absence from the show ... I find her annoying at best, abusive, stupid and spoiled at worst. Fortunately, for a show that's named after her, she's surprisingly absent from most of the major developments. The fight wasn't quite was I was expecting ... Accelerator seemed to have no grasp of tactics whatsoever, but they did take pains to remind the audience that he's never had a fight go past the first few swings. It really showed, too, Touma kicked his ASS. If there's one thing Touma does well, it's take a beating, and he simply outlasted Accelerator despite Railgun girl injuring him a few episodes back (forget about that? So did the writers). Still, not a bad conclusion to the Accelerator arc. Now I'm going to accelerate myself, right past the shitty filler eps and up to episode 21 or so, where the plot resumes. |
| i enjoyed seeing accelerator getting his ass kicked, good stuff ^^ |
| Damn, Touma you lucky bastard. You now have your own Misaka Harem (with over 9,000 Misakas) wow I am jelly! |
| It’s stupid that Toma doesn't realize that he has his nullifying power from the start. He has to realize that he has the power to nullify? I'm starting to think he's retarded... Also, that accelerator guy, if he knew that direct physical contact wasn’t working on Toma, why didn’t he manipulate the surrounding in order to kill Toma? Like when he kicked that rock and it flew at an incredible speed. Or the metal that he can throw/ bend. Also how is it that the people behind the experiment with accelerator who decided to stop the experiment since he lost didn’t take notice to Toma’s power? Toma should have been awarded a rank up or something. >=( And what was up with Mikoto who didn’t show much appreciation for what Toma did? All she did was give him a box of cookies? Are you f***ing kidding me? She was going to die at the hands of accelerator to stop the sisters from dying, and Toma took care of it for her, and all she does to show her appreciation is give him a box of cookies? He basically saved her life, you would think that is worth more than a box of cookies, and they weren’t even homemade… what a lousy girl… |

| Never go full retard |
| Still feel that the FIRST arc is the BEST! Good fight, but how Touma needed help cause he couldn't hold on his own was sorta lame... Couldn't he have just blocked that plasma thingy with his right hand? :O Woulda been much more badass if Touma just blocked that thing and punch Accelerator. Touma was so beat down and weakened that I wanted him to punch Accelerator's lights out already before he gets crushed and lets everyone down. Didn't feel much like a showdown, but that knockout punch was the moment what I was waiting for. |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| The fight was meh, he should have grabbed him with his right hand and beat the crap out of him with his left hand. Mikoto brought him cookies, aawwww |
noteDhero said: Surprise, Surprise, Surprise, Accelerator had nothing to do with Index after all...which only means that this arc had nothing to do with the story at all. Boring. I know this is years later but....I don't get this. Just because Index doesn't have a role in the arc it has no value at all? That's ridiculous. Anyway, the arc wasn't all that great. The end of the fight was kind of anticlimatic and, well, it just didn't engage me all that much. I hope the rest goes a little better. |

There is no reason to be disappointed, since it was pretty clear right from the start that the anime would go in this direction. Seeing as the anime is named after a loli nun, you should have dropped it after the first episode if that kind of thing annoys you that much. I would have done so if I hadn´t seen a YouTube amv that had Accelerator in it and a clip of Touma going Berserk beforehand. But don´t say anything bad about Accelerator, else I'd have to admit that I wasted 6 hours of my life on a pretty average anime. Anyways, I´m not giving up just yet, at least Index doesn´t show up as often as you'd expect of a character whose name is in the title (and yes, in this case, that's a good thing). |
 |
| Oh boy nice finisher on Accelerator! Quite a nice ending as well and lol next episode is a beach episode :D |
 |
| The combat is interesting only in the end, a little paradoxical beginning where Touma with only one arm can stop Accelerator? A little comic too! Idisegni are good a little less animations, final and cute with a sister character a little unexpected I hope the new arc is intriguing more than that of the sister! |
 |
| Touma's harem continues to grow at a rapid pace. What a stud muffin. |
