Welp, Misaka faced a challenge this episode, perhaps somewhat more than she expectd.

This kinda reminds me of the Railgun S type of battle that she had to use her esper ability in a strategic way. Either way, it's an exciting episode of action as Misaka fights the good fight. The CGI on that monster though. This episode also seems to set up for the season's final two episodes. A lot of comedic humor from this episode too. I love how Railgun sells its character interactions beyond just the main cast.

Mask girl suggesting "working together" (but actually afraid of making enemy w. main girl and Misaki girl, after their fight against acce.) and lied about her being in judgement.

Lady scientist, who is the one who requested the group to retrieve the cyborg girl now believing what the scientist girl said now w. what happens.

Making gozilla?

Misaka believing them was a bit disapointing but i hope so will realise the truth at some point.

Anyway the enemy this time seems pretty interesting, it looks a bit like Godzilla from stone now.
And the question is what kind of fight will she put up.

I wonder how all the damage is covered in that city seeing how everyone is rampaging it must be pretty insane.
Guess it's a good place to stat a construction company.

Really love how Leader gambled to gain Mikoto's trust =/ Always sticking into Judgement and Kuroko's problems paid out ... + Gekota saves the day!

Yakumaru's acting, so cute!!!

Mikoto vs Doppel fight looks great!

The way the Leader tried to gain Misaka's trust was funny. Almost gave her a heart attack.

Now Misaka will be fighting against that huge stone. Looking forward to that.

This was a solid setup episode for the final conflict. I liked the fact that the dark side team was actually capable of working with Misaka. It's nice to see that just because someone lives on the charcoal side of morally grey doesn't mean that they're an idiot who wants to pick a fight with everyone they run into. People defined by goals shaped by their past are much more interesting antagonists than those that act like a first time chaotic evil D&D player. Hopefully we get a few more snapshots of Leader's past!

I was really skeptical with the first half of this season and how slow and convoluted it all was, but this second half has been absolutely phenomenal! We have excellent character interactions, really great intimate moments, a couple of laugh-out-loud jokes, fascinating concepts and set-ups and stellar fight sequences! Finally feeling like the Railgun I know and love.

Scavengers are just hilarious , especially Leader! Watching her wrack her brain on how to get Misaka on her side was just amazing.
Also,Yakkun's acting was top tier!

Loved the teaming up with Scavenger, as well as the leader being even more freaked out when hearing about Shokuhou, yet another level 5.

Also, that rubble monster at the end looked absolutely amazing, almost straight out of some high-budget Hollywood movie. The music right then was epic as well.

The highlight of the episode was definitely Leader and her interaction with Misaka. Her monologue was pretty amusing. Also she is cute without her mask, although she should keep it considering these uncertain times!

Huge Doppelganger monster at the end, the fight's about to be epic.

episode was fun apart of me is mad that someone would take advantage of our Biri-Bir's kindness and fandom but it was funny watching the scavengers leader try to play 4 D chess to win her over for her own goal and actually winning with the fact Misaka is a sucker for Gecko fans

didn't think the Scavengers would luck out so much lol maybe there's hope left for them since they got paid!


sad were reaching the end railgun has been a blast and JC has been keeping it looking great when it matters some of those shots near the end looked great ,kaijuu looks good too

I must admit, Leader looks really cute when she isn't wearing her face mask. =3

Her interactions with Misaka was really funny and she always makes me laugh when she's panicking about any mention of a level 5 esper, as was shown when she heard Shokuhou's name being mentioned as Misaka was talking to her on the phone. It was a nice move for Leader to have the Gekota communication pins, which got Misaka's seal of approval. XD

Overall, Scavenger played their part really well and helped set up Misaka's showdown against Doppelganger's "godzilla" form. Although we only got a short amount of time with them fighting each other, but the production quality was excellent. Even the CGI for Doppel's godzilla monster looked great and had some nice and smooth movements, too.

This has me hyped up for the penultimate episode, where the fighting will get more intense. Bring it on!

Half the episode was just the masl girl being super nervous, and it was great. Other half was the build up to Mecha-Godzilla's reveal, which was equally great. And I seriously love seeing Misaka fight while analyzing her opponent and remaining so calm during battles like this.

Holy s**! What an episode!
That girl indeed tricked Misaka, her love for that frog is her biggest weakness probably xD But it makes me believe that Misaka
can bring her to the "light side".
This is were i remember how insanely powerful Misaka is, the "clone" had to use all its power.

The next episode will be epic!

Misaka vs Doppleganger epic fight!

Can't wait for next episode we are closing to the end game

Kudos to J.C Staff they have been so consistent on everything on this season animation, pacing and story telling to give some. This season is more consistent compared to last season. I hope they deliver a banger in this remaining episodes

5/5 episode!

they had the perfect chance to turn over a new leaf with Misaka. and yet they blew it so hard. that's the biggest tragedy here imo.

I enjoyed Leader trying to shithouse her way with Misaka and escape from being absolutely obliterated by her given how she's a Level 5 and way stronger than her, and her comrade even started a fight with her too which she found out. This kind of one-time comedy I will say is so much better than when Kamachi tries so hard to force unfunny gags like with Index where fanservice walking in jokes are beaten to death and not good whatsoever, or even when Railgun tries to pull a Kumoko gag and her having sexual fantasies about her roommate.

I'm not too sure, how good of an idea is to just get sign that job is done, when it's not..
I guess, now at least there are some explanations, why it's indeed soul and not mind.. Like this soul gives her ability to possess stuff.. Or something like that.. Still it feels soul too broad of a concept to put it in just this, but ok, I guess.. Some kind of soul creation it is then?.. Still hard to believe, but ok..

For someone being so smart Misaka's kind of dumb too at the same time or more like she believes anyone too easily. But yeah after this episode I see these clowns in a new light. They do have an attitude but they're hilarious, their leader in particular. Hope to see her and Misaka getting a chance to interact sometime later too down the line.

Also wait, nobody signed for godzilla stuff lol.

No wonder Itsuki usually ties her hair or hides it with a cap. She's beautiful when she lets her hair down, and she can attract a lot of attention. hehe

Nice action scenes & Doppelganger's "Godzilla" form looks cool! JC Staff really loves the Railgun series since they pour a lot of their resources and skills into it.
