| A fine conclusion to the Daihasei Festival. Overall great episode. Gunha paving a path for Touma and ending the battle with the dragons was cool af. Like others have said, I was happy to see it wasn't CGI. The return to normal life was great, and Saten was entertaining as ever. I was expecting Kuroko kicking Touma during the dance like it happened in Index lol. |
 |
| THE DRAGONS ARE ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS!! That's all I needed to say! |
 |
| Meh. The dragons are not impressive. |
 |
| Oh my, poor Kuroko-san. xD That was some ship fanservice right there and I love it |
  tysm iva-🐢💜 |
| suddenly : Gidorah |
| bruh |
| that was fucking amazing i was waiting for this !!   this was 5/5 EDIT: i really did not like the ost that was used in the DRAGONS scene |

| This episode was just wonderful. Touma's dragons looked great. Gunha and his guts were fucking awesome. It was nice to see Kongou again. Saten was funny and cool as always, Kuroko is back to being all over her onee-sama. And most importantly... All the Touma & Mikoto moments, aaaaaaaaaaaaa. My heart is literally melting, seeing Mikoto all embarassed but getting closer to him makes me so happy. T_T I can't wait to see them more in action together to team up against the bad stuff in Academy City. I wish Touma appeared more in Railgun. Now that this arc is over I can go back to reading the manga, which I stopped reading before Daihasei so I wouldn't spoil it since i prefer anime as a medium over reading manga. But I can't wait any longer lol. Anyway, Railgun T as a whole is a 10/10 and this ep was 11/10. This adaptation is PERFECT.  |

| The extra wait for this episode, once again, was totally worth it. What a way to wrap up the Daihasei Festival arc. =) Full props to the main animators at J.C Staff. My expectations for the animation quality in this episode was high, but they exceed that and then some. Not only did Gunha's attack look brilliant, Touma's dragon strike was THANKFULLY drawn in 2D, and it looked great as a result. The OST used for the climax of the fight wasn't what I was expecting and yeah, they've could've used one or two different songs that could fit better here. Despite that, the song chosen was still good. The best parts of this episode wasn't just the fight, but during the folk dance. Saten was the MVP here by smoothly setting up Touma and Misaka to dance together. Uiharu made sure that Kuroko was under control, briefly, so that the lovely pair could dance and have a nice talk together at the same time. Onto the next arc we go! ^_^ |
| I completely forgot that he had dragons in his arm. Like everyone else, I'm glad the dragons were hand drawn and not CGI. This episode was perfect. From the guts to the dragons and to the the conclusion of the festival. I think we all know who Saten and Uiharu are shipping . |
 |
| Sad the main series didn't get this treatment, smh |
| Thank God the dragons were not depicted with CGI. The OST could have been better, but it was still a hype scene. This battle of Touma/Sogiita vs Level 6 Misaka has to be one of my most favorite ones of the year. The ending with that Touma x Mikoto was wodnerful. My respect for Uiharu and Saten has increased a lot. Probably the best arc of Railgun along with the Sisters one. Hard to pick which one was better. |

| Slightly rushed but greatly satisfying end to the Daihaisei Arc. The aftermath will be in the next episode. I am so glad that they used hand-drawn dragons, inspite of J.C. Staff actually being good in C.G.I. They might not look absolutely amazing, but surely are spectacular. The character animation looked a tad off in parts of the episode dunno why. The track "Saijaku vs Saikyou" which was meant for Railgun S was used here instead, during the Dragon Strike. Although I would have preferred a dark menacing choir, because the moment was more horrifying and awe-inspiring than heroic. Guts did his part too :3 KONGOU IS BEST OJOUDERE. Here, I said it. Misaka figures out that the City is worth protecting not because of justice's sake, but also for her friends who are always there to support her. The lesson is: sometimes team work is good too even if you are extremely powerful. That is a sports lesson too, and works perfectly for this arc. The dance was quite well executed with Saten becoming the wingwoman, and a very red Biribiri. Misaki has something to say to Mitori... |

| It was such a good ending to the arc. I think I like it more than the Sister's arc. |
Abysswalker116 said: I've seen Index and like the picture shows that was ONE Dragonhead, and we never seen it again after this, not even during WW3. WW3 takes place after this arc. and that dragon head was also there on this part they justed put more effort into animating it this time. it's not an asspull if it happened before. |

KamijouToumaIB said: It was such a good ending to the arc. I think I like it more than the Sister's arc. In a way it is a fav arc of many Railgun manga readers. I mean everyone gets to shine!! Misaki, Gunha and Kihara chewing scenery and no fillers! It felt like the WWIII arc of Railgun in a way, which is also the best arc in the OT novels. |

| Was not expecting the fight to end within the first minute but that cut with Touma’s dragons was pretty awesome. Too bad the anime adaptation of Index doesn’t do so well to explain this. Honestly, Kongou has been one of the best characters this whole season so far. That was an amazing moment between her and Misaka. And Saten coming in as the best wingman. I genuinely want more moments between Touma and the Railgun crew; it’s so awkward but so great at the same time. And next week is looking to conclude the whole debacle with Mitori and Misaki, hope to see some more on her past. |
| GOSH seriously, how to basic are the indexfags to get excited about a nonsense power up, that instead of criticizing it, they praise it as if it were a wonder, when the nekketsu has been doing it for decades and is criticized when its executed poorly. @hazarddex on that occasion stiyl gave the explanation that the dragon was the form of the despair that Aureolus had felt which was a coherent explanation because the alchemist could materialize his thoughts, but if in the end it turned out to be a deception so that we did not think it was a deus ex machina. I only give him credit for having hidden that asspull. |
Abysswalker116 said: That's exactly my point. If he has such tremendous power during the Festival, why doesn't he use it when he fights Fiamma? And it didn't happen before, not with so many heads. Touma refused to unleash whatever was coming out of his cut hand to prevent killing off Fiamma. He just wanted him to realise his mistakes. Here, if that sphere was destroyed, nobody will be hurt. So Touma unleashed most of the dragons without hesitation. |

I only give him credit for having hidden that asspull. It's not an asspull. Stiyle brushed it off as an illusion in the LN but Touma suggested that there's more to it. The Dragon King/Invincible thing was a more recurring concept in the LN when the Railgun adapts it into its story. The LN just decided to keep it apparently a secret while the Railgun manga decided to go full-blown Hydra beast. |

I only give him credit for having hidden that asspull. There is no powerup, animefag. These ARE Touma's powers, or at least a part of them. The concept behind these powers is nearly as old as when the series was first written. The Imagine Breaker was always there to hid/seal these powers. Unless that right hand got cut off. It's like opening Pandora's Box. You do not know what's inside. Touma's 'dragon' against the alchemist was a clever move by the author to keep the readers guessing. An ambiguity was created which suggested either that Izzard was materializing it or Touma really unleashed something. Stiyl is not an useful source of info on Touma's arm. Only Aleister knows it apparently uptil now. Remember, how in Index season 1, Aleister teasingly asked Stiyl that if Deep Blood suggested that vampires exist, what would Imagine Breaker suggest? here be dragons |

Here, if that sphere was destroyed, nobody will be hurt. So Touma unleashed most of the dragons without hesitation. You say if the sphere is destroyed, nobody will be hurt, but there's no way he could've known that. There was a risk of killing Misaka while destroying the sphere and he didn't hesitate, but he holds back against guy who started WW3? The sphere thingy was manifested by Misaka, unlike Fiamma's Holy Right which is like a part of him. That difference was notable. Misaka herself is not something astral/supernatural unlike LPSaD Fiamma, so his dragons will just eat away at the power manifestation, leaving her unharmed. Killing Fiamma wouldn't save the world necessarily. It might even complicate matters, as he is the only one with the knowledge of the arcane manipulation he was using to change the world. |

(before crowley silences him with a well aimed bomber strike.) |

That might have been the case when Misaka first manifested the sphere, but again there was no way he could've known what happens after she became trapped in it. Especially since he doesn't really understand his own power. Whatever floats your boat, I guess. Touma stepped up instead of Gunha only because he wanted to take responsibility for whatever that might happen to Misaka and Academy City. There are also hints that his powers are intelligent and could realise what might harm Misaka or not. After all there are parts of HIS powers, unknown or not. They listen to him, like they listened to him when he held back against Fiamma. His subconscious feelings of not hurting Misaka was a key factor here. And the whole of Academy City including Misaka would have been blown up anyways without the draconic intervention. |

Do you ever read mystery novels? Does everything get explained before or during they are shown?? This is not a video game where power stats are provided. Accelerator and Hamazura are protagonists too, so is Misaka. A couple of them has pseudo science behind their powers, and that doesn't irk you? Why would you assume that the protagonist should be someone we should know EVERYTHING about? |

We use our brain in the same capacity every day. We don't suddenly become 100 Iq points smarter or whatever. Your analogy doesn't make sense here. What has 100 iq points smarter got to do with anything here? I am speaking about something we have with us all the time, but do not know the intricate foundation of. Many of us use mobile phones without knowing its inner workings. And so many other gadgets. Touma's powers are like that. His multiple amnesia attacks doesn't help either, as they might have wiped out any possible existing knowledge about his powers. Higher -ups like Aleister use him. If he knew totally about his powers, that would have made him too OP for them to manipulate, right? Index deals with three protagonists - Accelerator, who knows his powers, Hamazura who knows the lack of his powers, and Touma, who does not (mostly) know his powers. It is a great dynamic that works. |

i wouldn't say it's an asspull as it also gets explained. just not at the start because the toaru series is about discovering how these powers work. your right it is a funny thing that people will attack touma on any little thing he does, but the second accelerator does it it's cool because hes edgy and i say this as some one who likes accelerator but i forget a lot of people these days don't like discovering and want everything handed to them from the gate. |

Congratulations on joining the server. I know this comment is probably a joke. But Accelerator becoming stronger with his character development and acquaintance with the magic side is actually poetically beautiful, even if people are too lazy/unwilling to research. |

Uiharu and Saten are the best wingwomen on anime. haha and Kuroko with the dropkick in the end was the real Dragon Strike!! |

Abysswalker116 said: Laplace_kun said: Your analogy doesn't make sense here. What has 100 iq points smarter got to do with anything here? He miraculously pulls out a power, way stronger than we ever seen before, and destroys that sphere he could barely touch with his normal breaker. This is the equivalent of someone getting smarter and solving a math problem they didn't know how to solve before. (I'm not the one who started the brain analogy) I wouldn't have a problem, if he used the one Dragonarm we had seen before to destroy the sphere. The capacity we see in this episode is just way over the top for me to just brush it off with: "It was always in him." Especially when he doesn't know how it works himself. your goal post shifting. you go from "him having dragon arm period is problem." to "i wouldn't have problem if it was just the one." except when he attacks it starts out with the one to show the viewer that 1. the dragon is real and not a hallucination. and 2 that there is more then one. also why would he know how it works? again IT ONLY COMES OUT WHEN HIS ARM IS CUT OFF. which has only happened 3 times anime side. we already knew that when his arm gets cut off another power activates w'ave known that for a while. pleases remember this arc was made while NT was much further in. |

| Incredible episode!! Been a while since we last seen a dragon come out of Touma's right arm! It was damn glorious!! Together with Gunha, he managed to stop Misaka going berserk! What a solid conclusion to this arc backed up with great animation!! Railgun does it once again!! I do love the priority in Animation though, Dragon hand drawn, Flags CGI! Tnx JC Staff!! Incredible shot!  Good to see Kongou back in good health as well! Her and the other two side characters, Awatsuki & Wannai, really deserve more attention and/or screen time! They made quite an impact in this arc and I hope they will get more time to shine in a later arc! That Kongou blush was freaking adorable!! Misaka praising Shokuhou for being a great help in her own way of justice, suggesting that over time they could get along really well, until the point where she realized what altered memories she put into everyone!! XD However, again with the altering of memories... Sigh, still gonna wait for the day that everyone knows (a bit of) the truth!! Oh Saten, never change! Such a wingman! That ending was just brilliant, the side of Railgun I also love a lot! |
