btw,...not enough preaching components

4/5

No this was not working for me at all. Touma can go fuckin himself now. He is a piece of shit that I don't like due to him hitting a nun. My reasons are as simple but I won't talk about them. Seriously it was painful to watch that. Don't tell me no one cared for Agnese past with a view like in the pic.

but Magnus was fine and Agnese was good at one point with her laugh. At least there is satisfaction in seeing Touma get beaten up at first.

次は黒子の出番ですの!!
(tsugi ha kuroko no deban desuno!!)

The next episode is kuroko's turn!!

As long as we get fan service of her and Misaka many will like it.

Anieze is defeated so fast, I hoped for longewr battle...
Laura is a bitch, but that's not suprising, she used Amakusa to have Kaori on her side.
Agnese was good enough to have beaten Touma damn well. Laura is manipulative but that's the charm about her.

Next episode will start the 8th arc, about Kuroko and Awaki. Because part of this story has been on Railgun, maybe arc will be short.

Remind me about that Railgun part because I can't remember that one.

Well no surprise to the hate in your spoiler, it was like from the first season when she found about Misaka x Touma.

Of course, as usual, Touma ends up in a hospital bed at the end of the episode.
Yeah well this time God punished him for hitting a nun. :D

yeah kannzaki was cute. but touma punching a girl wasnt soo entertaining^^;
Glad someone else did not enjoy that. I for one am a guy who is berserker sometimes in other words the steam needs to blow to someone, guess who? Touma!

Aversa said:
Kanzaki was acting very shy towards Touma which suggests she has feelings for him, wonder what will happen between them.
Well after what he did for her no surprise but in first season she wanted to kill him. Strange how Kanzaki in this episode made a 180 degree flip pretty much.

He did say that had she given him the chance he would have done it more peacefully. That said, Agnese didn't reveal her motivations at all, plus she acted completely opposite to what her initial words were. To Touma Agnese was just a hypocrite and a sadist. Kind of hard for him to feel pity for her (especially after seeing them try to kill everyone ruthlessly). The watcher is the one that's supposed to feel a little pity for her, but Touma has no reason to do so.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Kanzaki and Touma. I honestly think the only reason people should consider a relation between the two is based on exactly what she said in the episode. (>.<) I doubt she has any real feelings for him.
You know I agree with you for that. Still Touma having a one night stand with her would sure make him into a man. ROFL!
mystik said:
lol @ that loli bitch getting punched in the face.
I am sorry but I was rage - over 9000 power level at that part. There was nothing funny about it at all.
Nachotee said:
Touma sure didn't hesitate in punching that little girl.
What would you expect from a atheist like Touma anyways. Question is would he punch a child due to it being a danger. Now that will be the test. Strangely Accelerator did save that small Misaka clone when he would not care at all for any of them.
Onibokusu said:
I hope they don't continue to ruin Kanzaki in this manner. Kanzaki should have been more formal in her likeness. More stoic. Not some "oh gee, he's a teenager. He probably wants to have sex with me as repayment for saving my church. Tee hee~" woman.
My feelings exactly for Kanzaki! Bravo to you! Exactly as I felt on that one.
helur said:
When loli fly.... She already lost so why did he bother KOing her? -.-
My IMO thing for that is just to repay properly the beating Orsola got but it should have been her that did that to Agnese. That would satisfy me more.

Yeah my anger needs work but you got me on agreeing with you on this one friend. Still I wished they did not do it like that with so much details. The thing is that pic of her is what made me feel the bad for her. Like maybe she had no choice to act that way for her own survival you know based on what was related in that pic of her.

True true. The worst part is that once it all failed they blamed it all on her so the Church cleaned it's hands off the whole affair and Agnese will now bear the full responsibility of attempting to murder a pious believer.

To tell the truth, if they don't do anything more with Agnese then I'll be quite dissapointed. I mean, we even got Touma's line saying "enemies might not always be enemies". Although for all we know it was a throwback to the fact Styil and Kanzaki were introduced as enemies back in season 1.

8th arc of light novel includes many scenes from starting Railgun episodes, with Kuroko x Misaka lovey-dovey stuff, also 8th arc includes a lot of "Judgement", "Tokiwadai", "Onee-sama", have already seen in Railgun.

e.g. An episode with ability testing, when Kuroko debating with Kongo and Misaka show an outstanding level 5 power with her railgun, also is in 8th arc.

Not all Christians believe in every single aspect of the religion. They all have different interpretations of the same religion. Thus, the Roman catholics, and the Angelicans are BOTH Christians but their beliefs are slightly different. Thus the infighting. Kinda like how all politicians try to run the government, but the Democrats want to run it one way, and the Republicans want to run it another way.

An even better example would be, how, among Toaru Majutsu fans, some like Kuroko, while others find her annoying. They call themselves the Toaru Majutsu Pro-Kuroko sect vs. Toaru Majutsu Anti-Kuroko sect. They both like the shows, but they don't like same characters. From an outsiders standpoint, its confusing and sounds dumb. But wars have been started over stuff like this so...its best not to get involved if you don't want controversy.

Is that what Laura mentioned as well? Now that's dirty of the Church to use Agnese as a scapegoat. Then again it still was dirty for Touma to soil himself despite not having any choice into getting physical like that.

So it's still possible that Agnese may come back as someone who has learned her lesson unfortunately Touma's fist will be also a memory of hers.

No one is badass when beating on a nun. Except maybe in hentai and even so I think I myself might be sick in that.

Oh come on, Kuroko is just too lesbo. I think Touma should do the threesome with Misaka and Kuroko. That way it will all be solved maybe he won't be using imagine breaker and then all will be peaceful, maybe not until Aleister is defeated? Right?

Misaka is in the next episode, hopefully the Misaka fans can stop complaining about the magic arc now.

That Itsuwa character looks pretty interesting after reading some descriptions, also with Agnese's past being showed briefly in this episode it seems like this isn't the last time she shows up in the series. But looks like I'll have to wait a while for the story to reach those arcs again.

I think they handled the final battle poorly in that if you haven't read the novel then it doesn't even make sense why touma has to punch her after stiyl and the gang arrive. The pacing was also off making the battle shorter than I feel it should have been.

I'm surpised at how many people are shocked at touma punching a young girl. If they have the power to kill you with a thought then it's a legitimate opponent. Need I remind you that misaka is only a middleschooler? Kuroko is even younger than misaka and if she wasn't morally opposed to such actions could kill from 80 meters away without you even seeing her. Agnieze was a sociopathic sadistic killer as well as the leader of the opposing forces. They wouldn't get very far if they started being choosy about their opponents. Heck, Stiyl is only fourteen. Might as well get pissed off at kamijo for punching him back when he found the guy hovering over what he believed to be index's corpse. (unless your beef is with punching women, then there are examples where he's done that already too). That leader of the british puritans, the puppetmaster behind index's situation as well having today shown herself to be ruthless in her methods of controlling her subordinates. How old did she look? I don't know how old she is but she sure as hell doesn't look like an adult.

People are upset by kanzaki's behavior but she was put off balance in this episode and it should come as a no brainer at this point that every female in index is tsundere (minus kuroko) . Index, misaka, himegami, aura girl, now we've added kanzaki. Guess what. There will be more in the immediate future. If you don't like the tsun then you're probably going to have to develop some manner of coping mechanism.

For christs sake. She's a soldier of war. A professional general and killer. You think she's never been struck before? You think you learn the art of war, especially at such a young age, without becoming acquainted with violence?

Actually no you. Index is even more disjointed than most shounen - there's not even a common antagonist for instance (that we've yet been introduced to). I don't necessarily care about the random arcs but I'd at least like them to have some impact on the series overall other than repeatedly introducing and kicking out characters from the show.

Each arc thus far has had repercussions on the overall plot. The main plot moves slowly so it is not always immediately evident. This is how the arcs help though. By providing fast paced instant gratification they can prevent this from being one of the slow-progressing shows that takes forever to get good. This is in fact an instance of ideal use for the story arc format.

Ah yes but you see the problem I had with this is that Touma should have the brains to handle this better. His fist seems to be only thing he can do? Well he better think of better ways because I certainly did not like him using violence on the nun. Why not just take away her staff? Anyways the only good I see of this is the pain of Orsola having been paid off by Touma's fist other than that my initial reaction comes as I wrote it.

Since when we know that she is exactly a sociopathic sadistic killer? The Church did not condition her to be that but I do believe her past affected her in regards to it. It's clear she looks to have been part of a plague or war time.

No I don't think she beens struck before if you remind yourself of her expression at the moment she got Touma's punch. I see her more of being shocked of it.

I'll put the light novel stuff in spoilers just in case


He didn't just take the staff because he was too busy getting his ass handed to him. I don't know if you noticed but he didn't exactly have the upper hand through most of that.

A child who can kill without regret sounds like a sociopathic killer to me.She displayed her sadism in her pleasure as she mercilessly beat orsula.

I don't know if you've noticed but lots of characters don't look their age. Komoe sensei is an adult, as is kamijo's mom. Kanzaki is 16. Stiyl is 14. Don't ask me why it is because I don't know. Kanzaki and stiyl are wizards so god knows what they've been into. Maybe komoe is a science experiment or something (completely unfounded notion). No real possible explanation for Mrs Kamijo though.

True, there are females who appear on screen who haven't displayed tsun yet, but you have to admit it's a very large amount of the female cast. It appears to be the authors favored female archetype or something. It's a large enough percentage of the cast that it should not come as a surprise when you find out there's more tsun to be had. (also it might just be me, but komoe seems to be the mildest variety of tsun. It's only been evident a couple moments but when she asks if kamijo minds women who smoke I do wonder. The author has a bit of a tsun spectrum going.)

She was shocked at being struck because she was confident that it could not happen. She had an unbeatable weapon while he only had his fist. He was never supposed to be able to close the distance between them in order to get a close range attack in.

Besides, Index focuses much more on the science/magic world as a whole rather than a specific or common goal unlike other shounen.

OMG, the sadness seems indeed that she has never shown that side of her to the Church possibly. I know see that a split personality looks to be in effect due to what you mentioned.

Yes I noticed but Komoe can be referred as to girls IRL having Turner Syndrome so I understand those things but Kanzaki being 16 seems pretty developed up to age 18 in apperance was my point and Magnus the same for his male body. Regardless I agree about your appearance are deceiving in anime.

Thats is what is appealing about Index and its world as a whole - the fact it isn't obvious who the atagonists and protagnists are - like in reality it isn't as clear as black and white - I mean heck Accelarator as a protaganist? - just leave if you want a simple anime about a bunch of good guys vs everyone else is evil mentality.

Even Touma said in a different scenario he wouldn't have to punch the loli girl.

As for Kanzaki until this episode, yes their was little indication she would like Touma but after saving Index from her memory erasure and the trauma of her nearly beating him to death from S1 I think in S2, after basically helping her old clan from being slaughtered by crazy religious nuns I think anyone would be grateful.

Exactly this! Exactly is all I will say!

Sorry, the leader I was refering to is agnieze. The If you're refering to the thing he broke with his fist directly before he punched her that was just the magical force that had been attacking him all throughout. He basically dispelled one attack (if I recall in the novel it was more of a matter of him catching it with his hand than dodgeing and then smashing it but I'd have to reread to be sure).

He shouldn't have been able to get to her because she had an unpredictable powerful weapon capable of unlimited kinds of long distance attacks while kamijo was unarmed and as far as she knew he was only trained in dispelling barriers (from when he first entered the church)

The staff functioned based on the idol principle. It formed a connection between it and the target so that what happens to it happens to the target. I don't honestly know if the imagine breaker works on idols, and I hadn't thought to question it. As far as kamijo know's though it would have so that's actually a great point. I'd still bring it to him not having much time to think over the course of his beating though. At the end of the day you're right in a sense about his berserker tendencies, as his strategy is always pretty simplistic and consistent. I view it more as a matter of what he has at his disposal. He has a fist that dispells magic, so he keep punching with it until the danger is gone. He was never actually the brightest bulb, and he 's completely out of his element when dealing with magic.

Honestly, I don't know much about Agneize's character beyond what we've seen. I think we've got more to learn about her. I didn't get the impression that we were dealing with a split personality, and I imagine the church is fine with her behavior considering the occupation they have assigned to her, but I really do suspect that her story will be a bit on the sad side. There just aren't that many situations where you can be a young soldier of any variety and have it be a happy journey that brought you there.

If I'm gonna be completely honest I only found out about Stiyl's age after a reference to him being under legal smoking age caused me to look up the number. I've seen his age openly referenced on this forum before otherwise I would have left it out due to unsurety as to whether or not it has actually been revealed in the show yet.

You really have been a pleasure to speak to. You get straight to the point and can phrase your thought concisely. I have trouble with that a lot of the time.

Edit: Sounds like I was wrong about kanzaki's age. I was pretty sure about that. Sorry for the confusion.

That would be have been better to see him grab that power to dispel it. I did not think it was the magical force attacking him, I though it was a protection barrier.

Guess the pride shattering of her weapon indeed was the main factor to her bewilderment from the punch.

Well that explains it far better than the subs. Now I am clear on that one. Do wonder if it's one target at a time or many. Regardless a powerful thing this weapon is.

Agreed it but her past was sad just with glimpse of her state as she recalls it. Clothes messy and torn, dirty skin and the place was a dump where she was hiding.

Alright, up until to episode 4, I am really confused. I finished episode 5 a while ago and nothing has been answered

In episode 4, how did Touma and that nun escape from the roof? They were surrounded and they were really far away from their allies.

Also, in episode 5, how did Touma escape from the church using everyone else as a "decoy".

Last and not least, why did Kanzaki appear at the end? I really still don't understand why she is relevant in this arc.
Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone

Stiyl cast his fire demon spell and cleared them out.

They broke out and whilst they were deploying cards, etc, Touma tracked down loli nun.

This entire arc focuses on her background - she was the priestess of the Amusaka, she is powerful, the Anglican church wants to control that power.

She is thankful.

Seriously did you watch subs?

Apparently not. He obviously forgot Kanzaki is:
A) A Saint with divine powers that overshadow most magicians.
B) The former leader of the Amakusa.
C) The actual reason why the Amakusa planned to save Orsola and join the Church of England.
D) During the second Kanzaki/Tsuchimikado conversation it is revealed that Kanzaki was planning to fight the nuns herself. This, of course, didn't come to pass due to Touma's intervention.

So as you can see, all of that mess was created by the Amakusa, so by extent it was Kanzaki's fault. She also almost broke the rules and she did kill several church knights who tried to reclaim the fake Book of Law from the Amakusa (see the end of episode 1). In the end, the archbishop used this whole incident to further chain down Kanzaki, so this whole arc is completely related to her.

As for the people yearning a main bad guy. I thought it was fairly obvious already that Alistair, the founder of Academy City, was being slowly brought up as a bad guy. Even Railgun kept it going with the whole thing about how the leaders of Academy City have other more sinister intentions for it's students.

Plus, the Magicians and churches all have ulterior motives for everything which are slowly being revealed. This story is actually chock full of gray and dark, you just don't get it shoved down your throat all the time.

Nice episode, even though the fight against Agnese wasn't that impressive. 2nd par was weird, why did Kanzaki act so girly in front of Touma? I doubt it's just because of the onsen event in the 1st season...

Sorry to keep my fans waiting, I wasn't able to see the episode until today (Saturday)

anyways, INDEX II Episode 5 SCOREBOARD:

Agnese, nice power, but no chance of winning......................EVEN
Touma punching Agnese TWICE......................................+4
Agnese mysterious past...............................................+1
Kanzaki blushing.........................................................+2
Touma siding with the Anglican church because of Index???......-2


Overall an enjoyable fight, finally this arc ends, and I finally along with other RAILGUN fans get to see BiriBiri and Kuroko next week....I CAN'T WAIT!!!

5/5 episode, my favorite so far.

This anime.... wins too much.
only thought about this was that the episode felt like there were some jumps. and by that i mean that some cuts between scenes were too sudden. then again, that may be the style they want to achieve, which imo isn't that bad, leading to the watchers to wonder what happens in between and what not..

anyways, this arc was nice. it wasa good arc to re introduce the magic vs science world of toaru majutsu. the ending was amazing. i can never get enough of that hospital, or of kanzaki for that matter. tsuchimikado making an appearance to touma again was win, but kanzaki is love. i love how touma is still involved in everything, and yet knows about nothing except the factions of the churches. this anime is win, and i can tell the novels are even more amazing.

Yes, gather up the Pro-Kuroko Sect in one place. That way we of the True Way can wipe ya'll out much more efficiently!
Oh come on, Kuroko is just too lesbo. I think Touma should do the threesome with Misaka and Kuroko. That way it will all be solved maybe he won't be using imagine breaker and then all will be peaceful, maybe not until Aleister is defeated? Right?


Her Perviness is most likely bisexual. She's just that perverted.

He didn't, he wasn't even near them. He casted the fire to save himself while Mugen tried to help Index and was halted by Styl

They broke out and whilst they were deploying cards, etc, Touma tracked down lol i nun.


Yes, but HOW?

Question was vague, I meant like why did she appear at the end in the entire arc? I mean we saw her attacked a few black knights.

Accelerator where?

Kanzaki obviously has more than gratuitous feelings for Touma. Of course, someone who has read ahead in the novels would know for certain. But no way, even if they are the most prideful of characters, does a woman blush several times and hides a note if she does not have some romantic sentiments towards you. Atleast in anime...

That's also a good observation to wonder about. What happened to them really.

But of course that's why we like her, for her perverted side. In Railgun her best made me more sympathetic towards her also.

Exactly as I said before. Aleister is still the biggest bad ass just we don't know what he is capable of yet. Anyone has any LN experience towards that?
