| haha Accelerator falcon punched Awaki....pure win! and is that misaka's mom i saw in the preview? my body is ready :3 |
 |
| Agreed. Touma has played such an unimportant roll and we are 1/4 the way through. Accelerator definitely has the most personality and causes the coolest fights. I really have to go back and watch them from first season. Not a bad episode: While i was the most excited during the OP, the teleporting fight was the next redeemable thing. I don't know why i was shocked when Kuroko got shot, but my jaw dropped. Maybe because it was odd to see a real weapon be used, or revenge at her narrating Ookami. Then the disappointment that it wouldn't matter set in. (Very good 8/10) |
DuroDeMatar said: Although I agree with that, it makes Kuroko look like she can't do things without Touma, same goes for Misaka on certain occasions in regards to that. In other words Touma is downgrading the worth of other characters somewhat. Well maybe Kuroko will be more grateful to Touma since he saved her from here on. |

| OOOOOH MY ACCELERATOR!! AWESOME EPISODE!! VECTOR PUNCH, IT SOLVES ANYTHING. So good, I started laughing like a maniac at the Acc's part. |
Spirit_Sempai said: Accelerator made this episode for me I think he is even more awesome now^^ same here. hes great and im really liking the second season overall especially this last episode |
| 私のホバークラフトは鰻でいっぱいです |
| Way better than last episode. Accelerator really improved the episode for me.. and screw kuroko for slapping touma, now im back to kuroko-hating, anyways good ep. hate to say it but touma still more badass than accel imo |
| Woo Accelerator, I kind of wished Kuroko would have died, but I know thats not going to happen :( . Touma ga tooku de toofu wo toome ni mite tonma is one hell of a tongue twister. Try to say it fast! |
Arcangel92 said: hate to say it but touma still more badass than accel imo Thank god, I was losing hope here. |

Wasabi said: Really? Did they just stick Touma into the arc for the sake of him being the main character? He did absolute shit. Fuck Touma, and Misaka, and Index, and whoever. Accelerator should be the main character. I know how you feel but he was pretty useful this time, thanks to him Kuroko was saved... Arcangel92 said: hate to say it but touma still more badass than accel imo Umm.....NO, you're either insane or not paying attention. Touma and his UNEXPLAINABLE hax power is not better than a legitimate power which just completely destroyed that wannabe teleporter... Anyways, Index II Episode 7 SCOREBOARD: Awesome fight between Kuroko and "that wannabe teleporter"......+1 "That wannabe teleporter" using a gun in an esper fight...............-2 Touma to the rescue with his HAX powers................................+1 Accelerator showing he still gots skillz......................................+5 Overall I enjoyed the arc even though it only lasted 2 episodes, it's a shame that crappy wannabe teleporter couldn't fight fair, I would have loved to see Kuroko punish her more than she did. OH, and seriously, I guess Index is being reduced to being a retarded child whose only appearance is to UTTERLY ANNOY THE VIEWERS of this show... |
check said: Lol I feel so bad for Awaki for getting punched by Accelerator, that was one hell of a bunch LOL. Lol. I agree it was an ordinary punch either it a VECTOR PUNCH to the face XD |
| They're hitting girls too much in this show... I mean, ok, it can't be helped sometimes and it may be necessary in some episodes.. but i just don't feel that this bloody face pummel was necessary :/ It was like punishing the bad guy, but i didn't feel like i wanted her punished that much, that's all. But this show is still good, hopefully it stays that way. |
| The bad news is no more Kuroko as main!! Nice episode even tho Kuroko got badly hurt the ending was nice and Kuroko eventually won. Accelerator is still pretty powerful from the looks of it and it doesn't seem like he went to a lower level. He was a bit to harsh o the girl tho, she might have been deluded but she didn't deserve that treatment even after what she did to Kuroko. The Misaka clones where also fun the watch especially mini Misaka she is so cute, and good at pissing Accelerator of. This arc was to short however i want more Kuroko!! |
| Can anyone tell me how Kuroko "broke" Awaki? And why was Awaki all "woe is me and my super powers"? Cause that was really, really stupid. I mean, mindbogglingly stupid. Always good to see Accelerator kickin' some ass though. |
| rofl~ Touma so suay xD |
     |
| This episode, made this series a 10.... |
Oosran said: Agreed.Dat OP, still so awesome. Definitely this season's best one. There's no room for arguing about it. I just realized that the enemy teleporter was voiced by Sakurai Harumi aka HaruhiYuri. orz for missing that last episode. That explains why she has these weird ideas about ability users and goes bat crazy once in a while xD. Touma and Accelerator showing up was a bit lame to the end the arc but what they did was really badass. Next episode is a festival. So we get the blond magician in the OP song plus a person who seems to be Misaka's mother. Wonder if Touma will meet her. Ayako using Biribiri now in their subs -_- And inb4 spoilers. Seriously, we have enough of them in the YnS, TWGOK, and Shiki threads :\ |

| Seriously, people post spoilers in every fucking thread nowadays, it's like nobody sees the huge sign that says THIS IS A FUCKEEN ANIME DISCUSION. I somehow knew touma would stop the building from collapsin even before this arc even started. Now that's fucktastic. Ontopic: Kuroko being hurt was painful. But ep was awesome. |
 |
| LOL badass Accelerator is badass, and the teleporter fight was quite nicely done. Wasn't expecting Kuroko to actually get shot, but that was a pleasant surprise :D (not hating on Kuroko by any means). Too bad Touma had to show up to save Kuroko though, would've liked to have seen Biribiri take care of Awaki herself. Oh well, I suppose this is Index and not Railgun, after all. Overall decent episode, good way to finish off the 2-episode arc. And hello Misaka's mom? |
 |
| Accelerator pure win BTW, story quality in S1 seems to be better than S2... S1 got some unpredictable arc but this one easy to guess.. |
Zutto Anime, Game, Manga!  |

Accelerator should be the main character. Accelerator will always >>>>>>> Touma. Why? Amazing evil laugh, amazing powers that are God like and he saved a cuter loli than index was. OK I loled. Though I still like Touma's personality. |
| I thought Accelerator was amazing... but now he's more than amazing he's AWESOME! |
| amazing ep. The teleporter fight seemed weird though. I think Kuroko in Railgun said it displaces anything in the target location? So wouldn't they try and teleport regions of air or cloth into the walls of each other's hearts? It's a shonen so they can't really do that, but I'd at least expect a teleporter fight to be more fast-paced and about getting the first hit in. Dropping objects on top of people seems like an weak move in contrast to severing pillars in Railgun. Using a gun was definitely a low point. It was a shame Awaki didn't try to fight accelerator, but I guess I can understand cause he's so badass |
| Tornado wings, fuck yeah.. Also, Misses big rack from the OP shows up next episode. |
| Accelerator: Falcon punch~ DuroDeMatar said: Accelerator FTW, and yeah, the womans are getting the worst punches lately. I don´t know if it is because I don´t remember well the season 1, but isn´t this season more bloody than the first? I have that feeling Excellent episode with the final of the arc. grklein said: If it weren´t for Touma and his Image Breaker Kuroko would be probably dead you know... he isn´t totally useless... Season 2 will be darker then season 1 as the story itself grows darker and season 3 will be darker then 2 until they reach the 'happy' end lol Removed quote chain |

alexcampos said: I thought that part was funny, plus this is a science arc which means Index isn't really needed like I said in the last discussion. When she becomes useless in a magic arc THEN you may convince me but as of now, I haven't seen that happen. OH, and seriously, I guess Index is being reduced to being a retarded child whose only appearance is to UTTERLY ANNOY THE VIEWERS of this show... As for this episode, FUCKING ACCELERATOR OWNS!!!!!! HE MADE THIS EPISODE!!! When I saw him attacking Awaki, I was thinking that he is badass incarnate. I was also thinking why we had a spin-off for Misaka instead of Accelerator? He DESERVES ONE!!!! Also Awaki shooting Kuroko was good but I don't see how Kuroko "broke" Awaki. Sounds like a bullshit scientific reason for her to go batshit insane (hmmmm, this sounds familiar. Didn't someone say this about the magic/religion stuff too?). Overall, best episode (THANK YOU ACCELERATOR, PLEASE COME BACK SOON AND OWN MORE PEOPLE!) As for the next episode and arc, all I can say is that all of your bodies will NEVER be ready. |
| The action was incredible. Over the top and brutal, but very nicely done. I actually enjoyed Awaki pulling out the gun as it was unexpected. And for that, being punched in the face like that was deserved (though probably not by Accelerator). |
 |
| The way she 'broke' her is because Kuroko spoke about how flawed and stupid her goal is and the real reason for people getting hurt is her and not her powers. Anyways it was already said that Awaki was messed up in the head, so that added onto it. |
|
| I feel sorry for the Accelerator loosing his calculation ability. But I'm glad he is back with his power. For Awaki it's to bad she had to face his frustration and the tornado wing were AWESOME! This whole episode was done very well, just whats with Awaki snapping after shooting? |
CrusherXNov 19, 2010 8:51 PM
| Apparently everyone forgot the whole fact that Awaki was about to teleport a large chunk of the building on top of Kuroko. The only reason it didn't happen was because Touma cancelled the teleport at the end. So yes, he was pretty much the only one that could have stopped that...without injuring Kuroko in the process that is (technically Mikoto could have used her railgun, but the ensuing wreck produced by it could have injured her). Cyclose said: Kuroko was too injured to do the honors herself. Besides, Accelerator is like the secondary hero of Index, one might say. It was a nice touch that it seems that he sort of did it as a favor to Last Order. He really has a soft spot for her.I didn't give this 5/5 (although this is a pretty good arc especially the beginning of this episode). Like everyone had said, Accelerator finishing off Awaki seems like a big no-no-no. I wanted Kuroko for it (as her motivation shows in the beginning). Sigh. I was disappointed that it wasn't Kuroko who ended Awaki so this is 4/5. And next episode will be about Oriana Thomson :OOOOOOOOOOO CAN'T WAIT TOO! (Btw, this arc is the one I've been waiting for. The Kuroko vs Awaki arc, and not the Accelerator vs Awaki scene-fag. |

| Touma running and jumping into debris looked so crazy and impossible. He freakin defied the law of physics xDD well I guess its something a level 0 can do The teleport battle was so epic yet short :( and accelerator finishing Awaki off was total pwnage(imba much xDD) Next episode: Komoe-sensei~ <3 |
DenjaXNov 19, 2010 9:36 PM
| Well in the light novel it was said that Misaka used all of those items to make magnetic stairs for Touma to run up on. |
|
Sucrose said: Tornado wings, fuck yeah.. Also, Misses big rack from the OP shows up next episode. THIS. Also, Accelerator's vector pawnch |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Omg guys, did you see Accelerator pwn? Waw. |

DoubleDango said: That epic pwnage was the highlight of this episode!Omg guys, did you see Accelerator pwn? Waw. |
Kenju said: Well, the debris was pretty neatly positioned. We have to remember that since this is an anime they won't bother to explain every little visual detail, especially considering they were trying to pack the whole volume into two episodes. It's one of the drawbacks of anime versus Light Novels. The Novel will be very specific while the anime won't ussually remind you of every little thing as a way to save time, unless it's one of those long-running series.Well in the light novel it was said that Misaka used all of those items to make magnetic stairs for Touma to run up on. |

| Someone explain to me who is going to clean up that mess Accelerator made? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| is there going to be more women abuse next arc? cuz DIS GURL GOT ER AIR KNOCKED OUTT and her nose is definitely broken. 5/5 just for the accelerator part i watched it over and over |
| Touma didn't do much this arc and not much Index either which was good. the best part was Accelerator breaking that bitches face. ok but not great arc. biribiri and Touma had like no interaction to. oh well next time looks more interesting. |
 |
Confucius said: Someone explain to me who is going to clean up that mess Accelerator made? I'm sure all those stupid self automated robots will have a hand on it... Either way, Accelerator was great, I hope to see more of him in future episodes. |
SinfulZero said: is there going to be more women abuse next arc? cuz DIS GURL GOT ER AIR KNOCKED OUTT and her nose is definitely broken. 5/5 just for the accelerator part i watched it over and over A man striking a woman is not automatically abuse. Abuse happens over an extended period of time and involves heavy amounts of mental domineering. Generally there is a relationship in place that is being manipulated to twist her into something meek and submissive. It involves social isolation and all sorts of nasty shit. As serious an issue as abuse is, that's now what we just saw. We saw combat. Plain and simple. Same as if any woman got shot in a warzone, or got struck while participating in gang based turf wars, or any number of similar situations. She knowingly made powerful enemies, and got hurt because of it. I think it was alex who said something about the problem with man on woman combat being the discrepancy in muscle mass. Combat here relies very little on muscle mass, and even if it did it's a situation where a fair fight isn't really relevant. It's not a friendly sparing tournament. She's stealing top secret military grade government property. Even with all that aside, were she a male it wouldn't have made a difference, as the discrepancy in power had the odds stacked ridiculously against move point girl. Plus she was already injured. The difference in muscle mass between genders is about the furthest thing from relevant right now. |
| Wow. That was one amazing episode. Teleporter battle, Misaka clones, Touma jumping across chunks of a building, and especially the part with Accelerator. VECTOR PAUNCH. The arc itself was fairly decent imo, but I still loved it because the Science side characters made an appearance. Even better, Kuroko wasn't being annoying, and Last Order shows up again. The part where she's talking to herself is cute~ 5/5 episode for sure. Also, I noticed something interesting. While Accelerator was beating the crap out of Awaki (lol :D), he says something along the lines of "There is now only one way to proceed from here", and says "Ippo Tsuko" (One-Way Road) somewhere in the sentence. Is that a reference to his name, or is it just me? |
| Wow, WTF, what a violent episode? Watching lolis kick their own asses like that was PURE WIN, I couldnt' avoid wanting more... but a dude, overpowered hitting a girl like that? I can't accept that. If he was weaker and she a Super Saiyan I would laugh, but like this is idk. There are a few things I don't quite understand: - Why did Accelerator kick the bad girl's ass so hard? Did he have something against her from before, or something? I don't see the connection. - Is she dead? I mean, hitting the wall of a building at that distance can't possibly leave someone alive... not to mention the subsequent fall. - Why did Biribiri shoot her Railgun at that building? In which way was it needed? |
 |
| I need moar last order. She's all hng and shit. Index2 is proving to be overflowing with loli violence. I can't say it wasn't somewhat uncomfortable, but I can say it was definitely awesome. |
| Having read the novel, I think the arc would've been better if was at least 3 eps. The scene about Kuroko rejecting Awaki's offer and how she states how foolish it was should've had more dialogue in it. (it was Kuroko's crowning moment of awesome in that scene too. :( ) The very reason why Awaki snapped after shooting Kuroko was because of the fact that she kept on blaming about not wanting to hurt anyone because of her abilities yet she still ended up hurting someone without the use of her power. I was quite disappointed by how rushed the arc was, though I loved how certain scenes were greatly adapted from the novel (like the way Awaki snapped, the conversation of the SISTERs and Accelerator being badass with his Falcon Vector punch) except for the part where Misaka opened the way for Touma to save Kuroko, I think it lacked some detail there. I like Awaki especially in the later volumes, but I think she really deserved that in the end of that arc. It still was a good watch so I'd give the ep a 7/10. |

UnknownFact said: He kicked her ass so hard because he had been asked to take her down. He doesn't go easy with this shit, unless he's having fun, but then that's more of a sadism thing than mercy.Wow, WTF, what a violent episode?

In which way was it needed? I don't know if she's dead or not. Touma mentioned her being beat up though, not dead. I imagine if he'd found a body, or he couldn't get her medical attention he would have stated that directly. Misaka had to shoot the railgun to create the opening and the bridge so touma could get up there. Not enough time to take the stairs. A little bit ridiculous? Probably. Keeping in mind the subject matter of the show we're watching, and the rule of cool, I think it's within acceptable limits. Maybe pushing them a bit. One of those things where the ridiculousness of it didn't hit me for a while until after the initial read though. |
| yeah more biriri is always nice. I like how they make a connection between the animes. |
 |
| Thanks Gangler. Yeah it's implied that she did not die. But if she's human, she should have. I agree with Shiki 63, the scene where "Misaka opened the way for Touma to save Kuroko" lacked detail. Yeah... it's still a bit ridiculous use of power though... but oh well. Tnx |
