he spends the first nine minutes of the episode reasoning with Aureolis. at nine minutes and nine seconds Izzard kills Himegami, which kamijo is able to undo with his imagine breaker.

OMG it's been ages but that is so true! He does kill her. I did not think you were talking about Himegami, I was thinking more along the lines of the girl who was self-mutilating herself.
Truth be told I thought so too until I remembered the actual main fight, which was pretty awesome.
Indeed so Himegami owes her life to Touma and as such Agnese might also change due to all this but that's only if Touma saves her during a fight she is part of but a enemy or bad guy of it. It remains to be seen. I would prefer if Agnese saves Touma somehow.


It does seem to be a trend that the people touma rescues become either friends or allies. I imagine if he were to rescue her there would be similar results. With that flashback they do seem to have set her up for a reappearance, and she doesn't really seem to have the proper build for a recurring villain so I've got my hopes up.

Same here about Agnese. Her voice and manners are quite in par with what I liked about her voice actresses Rie in her other roles of girls such as Louise and Aisaka Taiga.

Agree with that.

On another note entirely, can I ask who the self mutilating girl we keep talking about is? I'm not sure I remember someone like that. Was it one of the espers izzard was forcing to use magic?
Yes it was one the espers that Izzard was forcing to use magic.

My verdict?

Laura is a bitch.
Agnesse (I think that's how it's spelt) got what she deserved, a punch to the face.
Stiyl is still awesome.
We need Accelerator ASAP!
The episode was great! xD

P.S. Can't wait for the next episode! BiriBiri and Kuroko madness! xD

Not at all. If you're looking to get to know a couple of the characters a bit better then go ahead, but not at all necessary to understand the plot.

Kanzaki didnt appear for long sadly


This. I was hopping to see her kicking some ass, not just appearing in the ending like that.

I also don't like her being another shy girl around Touma. It just doesn't fit with her style very much.

Next episode, less Index more Biribiri and Kuroko. That's a good thing. Basically i want a story where Everyone is fighting as long as Index isn't there. I want to see more from Kanazaki, Biribiri and others, anyone but Index, shes the most stupid character in that universe.

Touma punching that loli nun didn't sit very well with me even if she was evil. I don't know maybe is because i don't like seeing pretty young faces getting smashed. Hitting girls isn't something i approve easily. Couldn't he just take her weapon or something?

Well now the crazy nuns story is over so lets see what follows. Let's hope for less Index. Yeah i don't give a shit if her name is on the title.

I don't whether to laugh or cry at the stupidity, especially if you think Index is any less relevant to the overall plot of the series. You will see later on that the overall universe of Index is quite magic-heavy. Even the science side is just a huge playground for a magician.

Hm? Why complain about Touma hitting a girl? If a girl tried to kill me and my comrades, I'd deliver a heavy punch take her down right away.

Overall good ep. Best fight scene of Season II so far.

Back to Science Side next arc. Damn, I can't wait for Awaki vs Kuroko!

Oh, and would anyone enlighten me? How would we classify Hyouka and that golem lady's arc last season? Science or Magic?

It's magic done by science. Technically Hyouka is an artificially created angel, similar to the archangel from the Angel Fall arc except, you know, fake. When Aleister Crowley is confronted by Tsuchimikado at the end of the first season it is suggested that part of the reason the Esper System was created was, as a matter of fact, to create an environment that would gather lots and lots of power. In other words, he suggested Aleister wanted to join the ranks of heaven using the power of AIM effect (which is also why stronger espers are required). So, it's science used for a magical purpose, I guess.

I haven't tried to do anything but discuss a series I enjoy, though evidently I made a certain impression on you. Would you care to elaborate on what in particular in my statements has lacked humility and how I could better go about appearing humble. I am genuinely oblivious to where I may have erred, as I have merely stuck to discussing the characters and events of the series, and certainly never engaged in anything that might put me above my fellow posters like personal attacks...

reading some of the posts in this discussion I can sympathise with the people who felt a little unerved at depictions of young girls being hit in the face, but seriously the rationalising as to way you wouldn't punch her in the face is a little much.
When your fighting a magicaion tht can cut you up from across the room and all you have is punchs then darn right you should probably punch her and think up all the better ways you could of handled it later. Any taboo on hitting children goes out the window when they are being psyco sadists trying to kill you anyway :P

Liber AL vel Legis...I finally understand what it is. This is known as The Book of the Law by Aleister Crowly. I kinda feel dumb because I was just reading about stuff on Crowly a couple months before I started watching this show, and now I just get the reference.

Touma has once again ended up in hospital. Well, it was a pretty good fight, be it a little short. Touma doesn't hesitate to hit girls either huh? =P

That Archbishop really is a sly fox for doing that to Kanzaki. Speaking of Kanzaki. She was really cute there when apologizing to Touma. =)

Next up Kuroko! >w<

Wow, Susan (is it Susan, the archbishop? - i cant remember and I only just watched the damn episode!) is one manipulative bitch! Well, I dont mind as she is a hell of a lot cuter than Dr. Rowan Williams (actual Archbishop of CoE)!

And as for the posts about hitting shouta-nuns...well, they're combatants. In a battle, it doesnt matter who or what they are, you fight! It's like guard soldiers in todays world, if a child is running towards the base with a bomb strapped to him, they have to shoot that child. It'll play havoc with their psyche, but not as much as the bomb would play havoc with their intestines!

Bring on the next episode!

How come Tōma, Index, Stiyl, Saiji and Orsola barricade themselves from the battle nuns? I could understand why Toma and Index and the others would barricade themselves, seeing as how they don’t have any great abilities, but how come Stiyl also hid with them? All the nuns have is basic weapons, he can control fire. He could kill them all by himself. Why is he acting so helpless?

How come those weird nuns were suddenly attacking and breaking down the door that Toma and the rest barricaded themselves behind, then all of a sudden they just stopped? Then Toma and his group just stood there and kept talking for like 2-3 minutes. Anyone else find that stupid or is it just me?

Also was there really even any need for Kanzaki to come thank Toma? It seems like there was no point since he didn’t do it for her, plus it wasn’t just him that did it. This anime just did it so Toma could get closer to Kanzaki, which I don’t mind, just seems a little cheesy that Toma always gets girls for no reason.

@SHADOWFREAK To answer your question, Stiyl is STRONG, yes he has FIRE power, but he is also outnumbered. He like goes inside the church with the others to take refugee temporary and come up with a plan! Do you notice that after Stiyl summons INNO CENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTIUS, (that fire spirit monster) with the Rune Magic, he Kicked all their butts!!!

For your second question, yes it's just you lol you can probably assume already that the nuns are trying to get in, we understand and theres NO NEED to show that. Our attention instead should be diverted to the plan Touma and everyone are trying to come up with, how they gonna get out of this situation. That's WHY they are on screen and not the nuns!

For your third question, Kanzaki is thanking Touma partly as representing the Amakusa to thank Touma for his help and second, to thank him for helping, though its ABSOLUTELY none of his business. It's not Touma's problem here, but Touma happens to get involved all the time haha! In addition, Touma was also the one that voluntarily TRIED TO HELP as he RUSHED to save Orsola, though he coulda gone home and do nothing. Great guy right? XD Lastly, Touma Was Injured for All the trouble, Kanzaki probably feels a little apologetic and also charmed by Touma's heroic actions. You can also assume, she thanked the rest, but just off screen perhaps, but is not emphasized.

4/5

The plot continues albeit slightly, the result of all that we have seen, is very addictive. A real fox that woman! Two birds with one stone. Narrative rich in interesting situations, me like it. Very poor design and animations almost on the same level! Some really interesting characters. Arch over, but who knows if we will review some happy faces!
Rated 4/5!

So far,including the LN, she has a total neutral position.Even what she did to Index(char) seems reasonable.

I don't like that Laura Stuart. She seem extremely manipulative and clever, always staying behind the scene, watching from far away.

Touma hitting crazy loli nun like a 14 years old bully, FUCK YEAH!! /s
Why didn't he just touched the staff with his hand? Wouldn't it had nullify its power like it did with the Walking Church? Sometime, it look like he really have fun beating little kids...

Anyway, Agnese & co were a bunch of freak. Seriously, those faces she was doing, like when liking her staff... shiver

Next episode, MISAKA COME BACK WOOT WOOT!

So, the archbishop of the Church of England could have solved this problem earlier, but wanted to tie Kanzaki down by having her "shackled" by Touma and Index. Just like she is shackling Index by using Touma. Wwow, what a SCHEMER.
