Holy fuck. The staff of Railgun is truly something. It's obvious the studio truly cares for Misaka. The scene where Kuroko defeats Mitori was simply amazing.
Cannot wait for the climax of the battle. I will wait for it as long as they deliver like they did with the previous episodes.

ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BOTH MISAKA AND HER VA 🎊
I knew the birthday of her voice actress was the 2th of May, but I never realized that she also shared her birthday with Misaka.
Happy Birthday for both of them then :)

Great episodo!

Kuroko was able to beat Mitori with that awesome moves, also with Uiharu's help! Loved it!

Misaki also had a trap for Kihara, her gumble to erase her memory was so damn good!

Seems next episode is time for Touma to shine, looking forward to it!

Meanwhile Touma literally poking the ball of deathly death for like 3-4 episodes now when he could have done it right away... Couldn't literally reach out and cancel the entire thing? it's like his power is now nerfed just to make the arc last longer


Heh, it's not like Index showed at least 4 instances where his Imagine Breaker didnt cancel a power.

Misaki did beat the doctor, that was a great plan and honestly the smartest way to use her ability.
But it's still not over with Misaka...

Kuroko was probably the MVP of this episode. She played really badass in the sewers.
It was a great episode, i just hope the next episodes won't get delayed...

sometimes i forget how great Kuroko can be when she isn't thirsty as fuck for bribri overall great fights of little bits of mind games from everyone , was dreading not having a episode right after Misaki got mind jacked thankfully didn't need to wait too long to see how she got out of it,makes sense to use her powers that way even if it was a huge gamble

I think some people see Kuroko just as comic relief, but like she's proved herself numerous times like in the Level Upper arc or the Tree Diagram Remnant arc... and this arc of course.

I was always waiting for an awesome Kuroko's fight like this one. I had known that she had a top class ability, but I actually wanted more roles for her in Level Upper and Sister arc. This arc finally delivered that.

Another good episode. Mitori being hit by Kuroko was so satisfying while Kuroko taking that knife to the hand was badass. The only think that I don't like was that the lack of foreshadowing for the self-destruct code in the anime, its weird since it was in the manga.

But anyway, very good episode!

I wonder if all that recap time was because they figured people would somehow forget after being on break for a bit, or if they just wanted to cut down production time due to the effects of the pandemic


According to staff, because they wanted to provide a summary of events for people who lost track of the plot due to the many delays and scattered broadcasts.

This episode was perfect. Kuroko was awesome.
What a shame we need to wait another 2 weeks, but well, this season is so awesome that it's worth waiting.
I think the recap stuff was useful considering the prolonged breaks between airing time of eps lately, and I don't see it as a way to just buy some time, it was nicely done.

Finally got to my most anticipated scene from the manga: Kuroko kicking the shit out of Kozakou. Did not disappoint.

  • Takes a knife through the hand
  • Smacks that bitch in the face
  • Follows up with a roundhouse kick
  • And finishes her off with a fucking dropkick to the head.


Kuroko is a badass mofo.

Poor Kuroko she got another injury

Also i really like that they showed a detailed POV of both Mitori and Kuroko on how they will outsmart each other, Kuroko win the battle with the help of Saten and Uiharu.

The way Kuroko beat Mitori was so climactic!

I knew it Misaki will not gonna lost that easily lol

another amazing episode!

Although the first five minutes of the episode was a recap of what had happened, it definitely did help with the delay between this episode and the last one, and Kuroko heading it makes it even better.

The revelation of Misaki wiping her own memory after installing a self destruct code was amazing. That’s what makes Railgun’s power system so incredible compared in Index’s in my opinion: rather than adding more abilities/magic into the mix to solve issues or provide more conflicts, Railgun simply uses every ability at its disposal and makes the most of each ability’s utility and limitations. In fact, even compared to other superpower anime, Railgun’s power system is still done incredibly well.

And that fight between Kuroko and Mitori was absolutely satisfying, even given how short it was in actuality. Kuroko in my eyes is probably one of the best highlights of this season so far. Also a nice confirmation that Mitori was actually Dolly’s first friend.

And now onto the final stage of the arc. Honestly, I’m rather grateful for the five minute recap in this episode; it just means that the series can make most of the airtime and put everything into this next episode.

Damn, I thought this series has lost its touch. Damn, how I was wrong. Kuroko vs Mitori wasn't exactly stellar, but it was good. Highlight of this show however was Misaki vs Gensei. Never thought she brainwash herself to finally win in the end.

I Love how psychological this anime. With Misaki and her mind game fight, as well as just the effects of the past on Mitori. What this series does best is showcase the darkness of academy city and how it effects different people in different ways. Misaki is willing to sacrifice herself to save lives, especially the sisters. And is a bit thundered about her feelings towards misaka herself. While Mitori is willing to burn the city down, yet flinched when she thought she killed Shirai.

I loved both of these battles. Fights where both parties are trying to outsmart each other are the best kinds of fights.

Shokuho's plan to lose the fight in order to win really was risky but also extremely clever. I wouldn't have seen it coming either.

Kuroko blocking the knife with her hand was badass. I like her a lot more when she's being serious instead of her usual perverted self.

Misaka has reached her final form! Time for a classic Touma punch!

Man up until this season kuroko has been borderline annoying. Now she's borderline badass, showing her smart side and taking hits like a champ. She blocked a throwing knife with her hand, and she was already beat up and in bandages- think she was still supposed to be in the hospital after her fight with the other teleporting chick in either index one or two I forget. And they're finally showing her utilizing her teleportation powers to the max. Maybe they took some inspiration and took a page out of mob psycho II's book LOL

Kuroko and Uiharu~ Good job~ ;P Both of them are impressive.. And Kuroko is especially impressive during this arc..
And ok.. So Dolly's past friend motivation was to get revenge for Dolly on everyone, and city heads on particular?.. It makes sense..
And.. Misaki's motivation in helping sisters all along was Dolly as well?.. Damn, these both motivations were right there, and only now I see them.. ;D

Man, Kuroko gets into more death-matches (well, where HER life is in serious danger) than anyone else in the series by far. I mean, she gets
in Index, if I recall. That's pretty messed up. Nothing remotely comparable happens to anyone but Touma, who gets to cheat by

As good a power as teleportation would be, it's not nearly as OP as Touma's power, because using it would require a hell of a lot more technical ability and forethought - not to mention creativity to utilize it in combat and NOT be predictable - which is something I'm glad to see this series address more than once. It's a great power but it would also be one of the most difficult to use effectively more than once or twice in a row. I can guarantee if I had it, I would end up hurting or killing myself. No doubt about that at all. I can barely manage to run though a couple rooms in a house or building without fumbling into breaking something or myself.

...anyway, the girl is impossibly badass, and she never stops thinking / analyzing the situation, even when she gets seriously wounded... hell, she was taking on esper criminals when she was in elementary school, stopping bank robberies and shit. Definitely the character that surprised me most consistently. It more than makes up for her irritating behavior when Misaka is around... 👌 I'm forced to give her a pass for all of her sexual harassment and molestation.

Hey, she only lost because

You won't see Kuroko doing something like that! Otherwise she was pretty much matching her step-by-step. Not that she didn't get kinda messed up in their previous encounter too - but they both walked away with some stab wounds, once all was said and done.

When your opponent has to pull a desperate cheat like that, in a super-power battle, when you have very similar powers, and you survive? That's as close to a win as losing can get! (lol, what..?)

Kuroko beating and owning Mitori like there's no tomorrow lamooo. She got that spotlight she hugely deserves and needless to say every minute was worth it. Heck even that five minute commentary recap from her. Would also mention how it wasn't just both of them throwing hands, but also playing with each other's minds. In the end, Kuroko was just too good.

Also we went kind of far with the "I outsmarted your outsmarting" thing right? Who would've thought Misaki would go that far just so she could fool the old man.

Touma cliche coming.. I can already feel.

Everything has been revealed now. Gensei's was purely for the sake of science, Mitori's was to avenge Dolly, and Misaki was to protect the city & her secret in her way. I thought she had ulterior motives; I was wrong.

Good fight between Kuroko & Mitori. They squeezed every tactic possible to outdo the other.
So much outplaying between Misaki & Gensei. Literally a big-brain play by Misaki in the end.

This season has been absolutely appalling. Honestly would rather beat my head against a wall at this point. Bastardized characterization, wonky plot, HORRIBLE direction, I could not care less at this point. No wonder there wasn't any more seasons.
