@Tiau One day they tell you that Touma can die from some rubble when he survived the fall of that floating island in Index III, while others tell you that he cannot even die.  |
I wasn't referring to you in any way. I am referring to close-mindedness and conservatism of a certain portion of the fandom. (Who knows, even I might be one of them). I mean I am anime-only in almost all amine I have seen, and tend to be confused about events. Somebody else more or less answered your question while I was offline, so I didn't want to make things complicated by adding more. Basically, Index OT, if you read carefully, hints that Touma's arm has things unknown and unheard of. With very few Easter eggs and hints, it was kept hidden from the reader, as both Touma and the people accompanying him had no knowledge of it. So when he unleashes Invisible Thing against Fiamma, the readers got that satisfaction of finally getting their expectations met. It was thus, a gift from the author when he reveals the dragons in the side-story of Railgun manga instead of the original novel. The fans felt rewarded, because this was a moment they were waiting for, for YEARS. However the haphazard adaptation of Index amine, which lacks depth, made even the main plot points seem irrelevant to people. (CASUAL WATCHING INTENSIFIES). Forget about theorizing and looking for trivia, trying even to understand the main story required effort. Index III made matters worse, by high density info-dumping. So anime -onlys did not get the feeling of anticipation. They felt these moments of Touma were unearned and uncalled for. |

Tiau said: I'm not sure if I entirely agree with some of this post on the other hand though, while it is true there are hints about the purpose of Touma, it wasn't until NT that we actually got any hints and easter eggs(heh) worth mentioning. When Fiamma got attacked by IT the fanbase had no idea what that was, it was above our expectations. Infact even now, when the dragons got revealed in Railgun there wasn't really any clear signs how seperate the two are if any, it was until much later people could answer this question(and even then the theories forms are not universal, people argue about this stuff everyday in some places). The thing the anime adaptation really missed out on is the conclusion of how Touma feels about himself as a person, I can argue that the feeling of "what the fuck is that" that some anime onlys have is pretty much the same reaction some people had reading the novels Yeah, I agree, but it wasn't out of expectations or felt like a deus ex machina. The shock factor was important after all. But in the anime version, it is more of an unearned and out of place shock. |

| Wait, since when did Touma got dragons on his right hand? The last part was hilarious lmao. I hope Touma would notice Misaka's feelings |

But in the anime version, it is more of an unearned and out of place shock. I'm not really sure, at least I can say the way the scene was presented it worked well atmosphere and direction wise(also the similarities between this scene and the one in this episode bring up some more questions within the fanbase). At least anyone who's stuck with Index 3 at that point isn't gonna call out Touma as a des ex machina, actually at least in regard to that part people seemed more hype for what's to come(at least the people who do reactions anyways, speaking of which I should look at some for this moment as well) |

| Holy that was dope, Touma's dragon attack animation was great and nice once again he saves Misaka. Good conclusion to this arc. Awwww Misaka blushing looked so cute and Misaka x Touma moments were sweet af. |

RayReynolds said: @Tiau One day they tell you that Touma can die from some rubble when he survived the fall of that floating island in Index III, it slowly sank into the ocean it's not like it dropped like a meteor. if it dropped like a meteor everyone on the planet would have died. the floating island was big enough to cause a 2nd KT impact that killed the dinosaurs. and touma did "die." anime didn't explain it well at all once again. the explaining is left for me. your not even suppose to know he survived in the final volume of OT. Birdway practically brought him back from the dead. which is why he feels so indebted to her in NT. salamander750 said: also crowleys already shoots that entire theory in the foot at the last volume of OT literally mocking fiamma for trying to explain touma and his right arm within the constraints of Christianity.

| bwahaha! Kuroko so mad at the thought of Misaka & Touma getting together! 5/5. |
 |
It's most definitely a director effort. Railgun's director should teach Index's how to properly adapt this kind of material. |
okay jc staff no seriously WHERE IS THIS EFFORT WITH INDEX? |
| Railgun fans never fail to disappoint. You could give them lines and lines that prove the opposite of what they say and will just ignore it. Anything Touma does an asspull.... Touma never gets help....Dude wouldnt even be able to beat himself without getting help from every other character in the series.

| This episode was totally Awesome! Newver expected to see more dragons in Rail Gun spin off than it did show in the original Index Touma's very own story line. hazarddex said: so editor releaseed a bunch of lore facts about each dragon @ssjokg @MahiaErebeaNegi "The four-eyed dragon has multiple eye powers. It has illusion and hypnotism powers that can blur the line between dreams and reality. It is also a singer with a beautiful voice that can shatter even Shadow Metal."  The one-eyed cobra dragon is a water dragon that summons rainstorms. Its fangs contain the undiluted concept of poison, so anything living it bites will either die or experience a fate worse than death.  The blind dragon is a darkness dragon. It too has a powerful psychological effect, so you'll be overcome with terror and confusion when it's nearby.  This dragon specializes in psychological attacks. If it bites you, you could have your memories destroyed.  The corpse flame dragon is an undead fire dragon with flames erupting from its bones. It damages things with an energy drain that seemingly burns life force itself.  The ice crystal dragon is as tough and solid as the planet itself and it breaths ice.  The spear head dragon releases lightning from its body and fires lasers from its mouth.

The only time we saw anything like this before was the Deep Blood arc in Index but I thought that was because of the reality distortion stuff anime adaptation didn't adress it well (again what a surpise.) In novel styl writes it off as a distortion, but touma felt as if there was more to it then that because how it erased the alchemists memories. |
Magmafrost said: As a great man once said: "Of all the stupid! Asinine! SHARK JUMPING BULLSHIT!" series built on the concept of two supernatural powers of espers and magic. dragons being foreshadowed since the first book ever published. dragons show up in 2nd volume and in anime season 1 of index ep 9. series continues to build up world building around the idea of dragons angels and other mythical beings. railgun gaiden manga reaches chapter 67 on march 2014 gaiden is a Japanese-language word meaning " side story" or "tale", used to refer to an anecdote or supplementary biography of a person. The use of gaiden is commonly used in popular Japanese fiction to refer to a spin-off of a previously published work that is neither officially considered a sequel nor a prequel. However, some gaiden are retold stories in the perspective of a different character, similar to that of a flashback. index novel at this point is at it's second series Toaru Majutsu no Index Light New testament Volume 9 January 10, 2014 (i.e well past the points covered in Index III) no one paying attention to the series around this point would call it jumping the shark. |

Tiau said: Tsukkomii said: Was not expecting the fight to end within the first minute but that cut with Touma’s dragons was pretty awesome. Too bad the anime adaptation of Index doesn’t do so well to explain this. Honestly, Kongou has been one of the best characters this whole season so far. That was an amazing moment between her and Misaka. And Saten coming in as the best wingman. I genuinely want more moments between Touma and the Railgun crew; it’s so awkward but so great at the same time. And next week is looking to conclude the whole debacle with Mitori and Misaki, hope to see some more on her past. Eh, the anime isn't at fault here, there's literally no concrete explanation to give you, even now there only remains theories about Touma's arm Oh yeah, after seeing what Index LN readers have been saying, I could totally see how ambiguous Touma’s mysterious powers still are. I just love the thought of his Imagine Breaker actually being the limiter or weights to his true power. |
| Tbf, it took me a bit to figure out where the dragons came from. I completely forgot about the one that appeared in Index I, so it made more sense afterwards when I remembered. For some reason I mostly remember his arm being ripped off when he fought Fiamma. But, at least I know when it gets ripped off there's some mysterious shit about it. For someone who is Railgun anime-only, I guess that's how it is. |
|
| Episode felt rushed...but still good. Really liked that scene where Uiharu and Saten realized what's going on and went full wingwomen. |
| Touma's Dragons look cool! Usually, Misaki's power in bad hands (another author) could be just to erase memory and degrade character development but in this case it makes a lot of sense. It prevents Kuroko and the rest investigate further and be victims of the Dark Side of the City. I appreciate that in this arc even secondary characters have been given enough screentime and motivations! |

| woah gentlemen I comment a lot of trash against to Misaka but nobody cares, I casually say one thing about touma that was not even specially bad thing and automatically everyone to defend it. It's not like they retcon, it so it felt like it went backwards on Mikoto's character wasn't something really negative, it just makes it clear that even here she is not the protagonist. @Nurguburu hypocrite |

| am I the only one who thought "oh no, the story won't match up" when Touma reminded Saten about the charm and the scavenger hunt? that's way too good to extend the series. I don't remember Kuroko beating up the girl in the sewers THAT way, before Shokuho shows up. |

You should read up on what happened with Index III in regards to production, it's actually funny how a pandemic still isn't as fucked up as a producer trying to force the staff to stuff as many volumes as possible while also not wanting to give them either more episodes or more time on top of both telling the director about the season late AND giving them a now or never attitude meaning they couldn't get their best animators(some of which, as I said were going to work on Index III, the same people who are doing T right now), at least these delays got put to good use by the animators as we've seen on their twitters. I personally think Index 3 did a good job on it's big moments like |

No nothing to do with guts but part of crowley's plan and dragons are mentioned in the fittingly named dragon arc when accelerator and co are trying to get baggage on Crowley. again this is a novel that was written before the manga and index season 3 even adapted it (although cutting out most the details.) 3. No he does not future NT novels expand on this. this moment was meant to serves as a teaser for the next main arc in NT. 4. you seem to not understand his character not surprising as the anime butcher it. please remember he was quite willing to die at the end of index season 3 and in several arcs prior to that. such as the sister arc vs accelerator to save everyone. touma while very strategic tends to see himself as the only piece that can be sacrificed on the board. he already views himself as having died since the end of the first arc of index. 5. doesn't look like a question just rambling. |

I can easily spot lousy writing and filled with plotholes as this is coming from an avid visual novel reader. the confusion is definitely justified. basically, if he knew the extent of his dragon powers why even struggle? if he doesn't knew does he have a death wish when he jumped directly towards Misaka? as another avid reader of books visual novels AND light novels. 1. touma lost his memory since season 1, but he had some idea of the dragons due to events in season 1 episode 9 where the dragon king made its debut. dragons have been references constantly since then. there are also several hits about toumas past including angel fall where his dad told him the place he grew up in saw him as a god of pestilence. railgun chapter 67 which this is the adaptation of was released a few months after NT 9 which explains a lot about Imagine breakers origin. so while chronologically it takes place before outside the w timeline the author wrote railgun to begin with as a basically explanation and teaser for stuff in the main series. he fully expects people to have read the main series before reading any of railgun. which is why railguns manga title is railgun gaiden 2. No nothing to do with guts but part of crowley's plan and dragons are mentioned in the fittingly named dragon arc when accelerator and co are trying to get baggage on Crowley. again this is a novel that was written before the manga and index season 3 even adapted it (although cutting out most the details.) 3. No he does not future NT novels expand on this. this moment was meant to serves as a teaser for the next main arc in NT. 4. you seem to not understand his character not surprising as the anime butcher it. please remember he was quite willing to die at the end of index season 3 and in several arcs prior to that. such as the sister arc vs accelerator to save everyone. touma while very strategic tends to see himself as the only piece that can be sacrificed on the board. he already views himself as having died since the end of the first arc of index. 5. doesn't look like a question just rambling. tl;dr he doesn't know the dragons fully, but still went for a suicide attack. for a "fukou da" character he's a badly written character and inconsistent. |
