Wow Accelerator was freaking awesome in this episode. Jesus, when he yelled "Kihara", I felt shivers course throughout my body...it was that fucking scary.

Vento got knocked the fuck out by Touma (no surprise there).

Standard speech for a villain with a tragic past. Luckily there was enough action as well. Accelerator really is some sort of demon. He just kept going and going.

Wonder what they'll cover in the last two episodes.

Accelerator powered up even more? I guess he's not a level 6 (if its even possible) as that would imply an esper with the powers of a god (science equivalent of a saint?) but hot damn!

Oh man, where is this going?

wow another fight with lots of conversation...

touma vs vento: vento with her amazing magic and touma with his amazing speech LOL

accelerator vs kihara: wtf with accel turned into zombie-like haha. but that black wings are surprising. so he threw kihara into the stars? wow LOL

misaka got called by index while fighting hound dogs... why misaka not blast them off with her electric power? it will be most effective because it's raining right?

overall, not bad... but that means the battle is over and the remaining 2 episodes will just be more conversation? looks like i will get more headache LOL

Way to talk with your fists, Touma.

Touma: -1

I mean, seriously. He talks about how he's going to save the girl who's brother died, but how is punching her in the face and knocking her out going to help? All that does is give her a headache and more of a reason to kill you once she wakes up.. Does he have to punch EVERYTHING in the face?

I know I'm probably the 100th person who pointed this out, but I am really flabbergasted that Touma didn't pull out Vento's tongue piercings. In fact, he would probably win if he pulled any of her piercings out.

But, that's how Touma solves all of his problems.
Touma is just an uninteresting character with a game-breaking power.

Maybe you two aren't paying attention, Vento was getting INJURED by using her magic so Touma had to stop her or she would kill herself.

Seriously, alot of the people complaining don't even pay attention

Accelerator is cool and definitely the best part of this series...period. The rest of the episode wasn't as great. I went "oh boy" when Touma started one of his inane speeches again.

Got a good laugh out of Touma getting upset over someone else giving a speech explaining their shoddy reasoning for their actions. I guess he doesn't like it when anyone else starts to copy his character traits.

Anyway, it was nice to see Accelerator kick that guy's ass; however, I do wonder if they will provide an explanation on how he was suddenly able to recover his abilities. It's cool that he did but I hope they don't completely gloss over it.

Oh boy accelerator! Damn he's really getting super saiyan like in the end :p
Nice song from Index though lets see if that can help her!
The epilogue was rather interesting another new character... I assume even stronger than the ones before!

Stuff is getting rather interesting although most of the information they're giving is a bit on the boring side.

I'm pretty sure this takes the cake as the dumbest shit pulled out of all the anime I've seen so far.
But then again, the Index series in general seems to be ranking high...in terms of how retarded it is

This Vento lady has to be one of the dumbest antagonists in this series so far. Amusement park killed my brother? Better go kill everyone connected to science!

Touma spouting his usual good-guy-talk was pretty lame this time around. Accelerator on the other hand was badass as usual.

How about the doctors that sacrificed him to save her?

Going by yours favs,how is staring a war in order to protect your -already safe-sister any less retarded?

Actually Touma learned a new move this episode: He used his elbow to knock Vento in the stomach.

Also, Index singing (and shining) while Accelerator and that Kihara fight was actually quite nice to watch imho. The total disconnect between the both things happening at the same time just a few meters away from each other had something to it.

As usual, Tsuchimikado totally useless. Stiyl didn't even appear, and Kanzaki is probably busy being embarassed over various things.

At least the science and magic side interact with each other now. Even Anti-Skill is more useful than Stiyl and Tsuchimikado, and with Misaka and Kuroko etc. helping out, we hopefully will see less Touma speeches and punches.

I wonder though why Touma never fainted. Uiharu fainted just after seeing that video of Vento and thinking "did they say intruder", but Touma berates her, punches her etc. and keeps going? Unless he negated that magic somehow, which doesn't seem likely from how it was described and how his fist works, that's stupid. But not even Vento herself wondered about that. It's like they conveniently forgot that during the fight, because he would simply faint and Vento would have won..

I wonder if Index's prayer had something to do with Accelerator's black wings at the end. Another Falcon punch by Touma toward a girl. Poor Hyouka, it's creepy seeing her in that state, but on the other hand Vento's past was pretty sad.

Was that Acqua of the Rear earlier in last episode unconscious while Vento and Touma fought?

So for now I've only seen two saints, Kanzaki and Acquas of the Rear. I wonder who the other 18 saints are or if there were others mentioned and that I forgot.

Accelerator with stopped the grenade? Wtf, he awakened, how? The song from Index? Or jst an ass pull? I hope they will explain this soon. Even the scientist guy was confused, how the hell did Accelerator change his personal reality and gain his powers back after getting kicked so much and not getting ghurt at all? He should have lost like a few ribs by now. Whew, what amonster, makes Touma look overpowered lol. Touma took him out in a few punches, but this scientist guy punched him 10 times, kicked him 10 times, and he's still standing using his power... Don't get me wrong, Accelerator is a cool guy, but this makes him too OP.

The song from Index has nothing to do with it.

"Awakening", which by the way is a term created by the fandom, is when an esper has a revelation important to influence their way of life.
The awakening doesnt change the Personal Reality and it is actually based on it.I dont know what subs you were watching.While awakened Accelerator doesnt need the assistance of the Misak Network since the "wings" do the calculations.

Accelerator actually took his situation seriously and didnt just stay in his room after his defeat by Touma and the injury he received from Amai.
it's only a month but it is enough for a person to get stronger psychically.
He trains even more, even in the use of firearms, after this arc.

Angels in Indexverse are like robots that take orders from a "system"(God) and depending on if they work properly or not they are called demons.

Accelerator just like Kazakiri is an artificial angel that is basically a change in his AIM field.Kanzaki is a different since she is created by concentrated AIM fields of the many espers in Academy City.


tl;dr
"Angel" Accelerator has nothing to do with real angels.

Oh my god, sorry, but that was kinda hilarious that Index gave no fuck and started praying while Accelerator was being beaten the crap out of him right behind her xD
At least, he has been able to kill that Kihara dude, I hope.

What did he meant by his power being from an angel? I don't get it, there is a prety clear distinction between espers and magicians, no? You can't be the two...

Touma has been able to put a ToumaPunch right into Vento face. Must say she looked pityful though, coughing blood and shit.

Whoa. A little too over predictable and a little too much action. Not that it's a bad thing, but what the hell just really happened? Accelerator sends Kihara into space somehow, Touma knocks out Vento while her friend appears, and Misaka is still doing pretty much nothing. I'm hoping the next episode is less predictable and more episodic. Looking forward to the next!


It would be nice for people to say "predictable" to actually predict something ahead of the time to prove their predictability prowess, wouldn't it?
