Well lot's of dreams this time and all to find that one card that with make thier breasts bigger.
But the crow had other plans for them and the seller saying he didn't offer them anything ecchi was selling them something ecchi.
The girls are still growing so they should not worry so much.

And Kongou being scouted was funny

To master a skill through dream? That's a positive way to use the card.

Girls team in bath. Comparing breasts. That means there's that guy working for them appearing.

Short hair girl caught eye on the cards. Main girl, too, and S rank and Bust Upper. Both girls are interested. Almost trouble. Both of them got all of the cards to check which one is Bust Upper card.

Various dreams emphasizing that big breasts is good.

New character..

Crow got that card they want and accidentally got to another character. Result is immediate.

It seems like this arc features many short stories of many characters using the cards? as next ep. feat. level 0 girl meeting a girl.

Seeing Frenda again made me smile.

The dream sequences felt surreal but also comically funny with the way it's executed. I think the serious elements will pick up more next time but I facepalmed myself a few times for this week's episode.

Definitely want to see more of Frenda this arc.

Saten with those skills. You can learn anything with those cards.

We got to see Kinuhata and the rest of ITEM which was nice.

Ahhh Bust Upper is lost forever for our flat best girls...!

Nice paring with Kinuhata and Misaka,almost got in a fight at the start. It would be interesting to see a fight between Kinuhata's Offensive Armor and Misaka's powers,but in the end they teamed up for a chance of bigger boobs. The power of Oppai is truly amazing! And while they were chasing wild dreams Saten was gaining Mad Skills left and right!

Next week is Saten and Frenda episode and i cant wait to see it!
well that's just my opinion.....

"In this whole wide world the only thing that matters is breasts" is the feeling I got after watching this episode XD.

Good thing Misaka didn't get to use that card, she doesn't need big breast at all. Also lol Saten just learns the most random stuff lol.

Honestly Highlight for me was seeing Mugino again since I fucking love her and think she’s hot.

I love these little SoL style episodes. Just really effective at making you care for the characters and their quirks. Wish index could’ve had more of this(in the anime).

Most of the humor in this episode fell flat from my perspective. I guess I'm just behind the curve when it comes to appreciating jokes about girl's chest size.

I did really enjoy Saten's obsession with learning useless tricks from dreams. She was doing kendama tricks I didn't even know existed!

The white and black haired girl seemed interesting; I'm certain she'll show up again, but I don't know whether I expect her to be a protagonist or an antagonist.

Great episode! I laughed so much during the entire thing.

The dreams were fun to watch and Mikoto's interaction with Kinuhata was amusing.

Also, my boi Hamazura finally appears in Railgun.

Looks like they put some anime original dreams like Rakko's and that girl from Daihasei, so we didn't get Kuruwa's (with Hanzou's cameo), Ayame's (Although interestingly enough Mikoto does make mention of that dream with her) or Himegami's.

Tiny cameo of Index in the park towards the end lol.

Surprised with the full comedy/SoL feel of this episode. Funny dream sequences (the idol dream really had me laughing cause of my inner im@s fanboyisms triggered) with Mikoto and Kinuhata as a surprisingly funny pairing with their insecurities tying them together in their search for bust upper.

Saten learning useless but cool looking skills I found funnily fit her character really well but kinda wished there were more scenes of her and Uiharu talking about indian poker.

One of Mikoto's dreams seem to hint at a larger plot point about indian poker and their origins so im really curious and excited to see where this leads.

Also glad to see more of ITEM!

Quite hilarious episode, I have to say. I didn't had this much laugh since ep 13 in the first season of Railgun. Kinuhata and Mikoto both wanting to have her boobs big and trying all the cards since the "Bust Upper" one was mixed with random ones and Saten learning most random skills, but I have to admit, I would love to master a kendama.

This is yet another reason why I love SoL episodes in Railgun. ^_^

Both Misaka and Kunihata worked together to use all of the cards they both purchased in order to find the one containing the "bust upper". This led to showing many dream sequences that're funny and also seeing their reactions after the dreams were also awesome, too.

As for Saten, I couldn't help but smile at how happy she was with the skills she got with the cards. Uiharu might be right in saying that the skills are utterly useless, but if it makes an adorable girl like Saten happy, then I have no problem with it! XD

Either way, the next episode will have Frenda and Saten meeting for the first time and that's another part of the manga that I highly look forward to seeing animated. =)

so many things I don't understand..

first off, I don't get the "I'll buy half of it" part
and then they suddenly cooperated?
then who was the woman that got her eyes censored?

Because they had a common goal, so they set their differences aside and decided to cooperate and whoever gets the card keeps it. Also, I'm surprised you still don't recognize Yomikawa 3 seasons into Railgun?

A quite entertaining chapter to introduce us to more information about Indian Poker.

From Saten's ability to learn useless skills, the cameos, Misaka's yandere face when she fights with Kinuhata for the S-rank card, the succession of dreams about breasts ...

A naughty crow steals the good one, a cat scares it (Sphinx?) and ends up in the hands of another girl, who see Uiharu and Saten at the end, hahaha, great ending!

This was a rather strange episode but I enjoyed it nonetheless!!

Was great to see ITEM and Hamazura again!

Kinuhata and Misaka working together to find the Bust Upper card, to think that they are cooperating while one season back, ITEM and Misaka were busy fighting each other. Too bad a crow snatched it!

Those dreams were too funny and the Index references in some of those dreams were great too!

Smug Saten is great, I loved that!!

I swear if that girl with the, as Saten pointed out, "Huge Boobs" was the girl on the bench where the Bust Upper card ended up, then that card worked quite the treat XD If that's the case, then I am glad Misaka didn't get to use it! Don't think her appeal would be the same with a bigger bust

She wouldn't let her buy everything anyway coz Mikoto would get the bust upper, best thing to do is meet halfway, good move imo, she won't win against Mikoto anyway, she was way underestimating her from the start

Don't have all that much to say regarding this episode. Was pretty decent I guess.
Seeing my boy Hamazura was great. As well as Mugino, Takitsubo, Kinuhata and Frenda.

Good to see another reference to Fremea, Frenda's sister. She was seen before in Index II on Komaba Ritoku's phone - when Accel and Awaki go after him towards the end of the season (episode 24 and 25 I think)

Wow nice Index and Sphynx cameo, I have to rewatch that scene twice lol.

The Bust upper card got stolen by a bird hahahaha. A lot of cameos and references to the franchise that I managed to identify almost all of them (Yoshikawa, Tsuchimikado, Yomikawa, etc), I am surprised by the knowledge I have at this point. Surprisingly, this episode was very funny even though the main topic was oppais and nothing else. ITEM is back after several episodes and

With Hamazura debut in Railgun, there is no more doubt that we are in Index III territory at this point.

Nice team up between Mikoto and Kinuhata in searching for the S-Rank card and some funny moments because of this...and of course, the first appearance of that creepy girl (didn't go far in the manga, so I don't know her name yet).

Overall ok episode with some casual additions to the manga material. Looks like Kinu initially preferred C cards as much as she liked C movies. Fremea, what are you doing with ur onee-chan? :<

Most of the episode with the Mikinu duo was fun, with lots of easter eggs and character references here and there, which is even more fun when you have read the entire series... And bewbs, lot of bewbs...

They left out
, but at least Mikoto mentions her later...

I totally missed spotting Index for the first time. Next episode we'll have our much awaited Saten and Fren//da scenes!

Ofc, the intent of Railgun as a side-story is to give such characters more development, because they cannot directly influence the main arcs, at least not up to this point.

I really liked this episode. The bust size of Mikoto is small and she cant wait for it to grow. Im pretty sure she is still in middle school. Realistically her bust size might naturally grow in the next few years. The only thing that is bothering me about these dream cards is that I see this story playing out in the similar level upper arc. It would be extremely disappointing if events started occuring similar to that arc. I dont want to drop the show because I like the characters but you never know how this might play out.

Hm.. If there is such technology that lets you learn any skill at night.. It can be a huge development in civilization in general.. Of course I probably expect some baddies behind this.. But also potential for good development is quite huge with this..
If you're not errand boy, Hamazura, then who are you at all in this group?.. What are you doing in here?..
I might have some idea, who are owners of what cards.. ;D Was first one - Tessou's card?.. But not too sure about this.. And then that spinning maid Maika, for sure..
Not sure, who wanted to become an idol in their dream.. As well as not sure, who is ninja girl..
Oh, this is girl from sports festival..
Well, Kuroko, if you don't want to spend night this way with Mikoto.. Maybe you 2 can spend it in another way, fufu.. ;P Though, I guess, Mikoto would just hit you for proposal unfortunately..
