| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yes We Can! Shana-tan MOE~ I think i hurt my stomach laughing, LoL This episode reminds me of H2O Footprints in the Sand Ep 8 Hydrogen Oxide Footprints In The Snow. |
| How did you see this Episode I thought Index aired on Saturday? |
| Go Watch Sumomo momo Its epic. It has not gotten much attention... Episode 1 http://www.veoh.com/videos/v83597095dreGdW#comments  |
| I just want to know, I've had a look at the latest chapter of the manga and Touma just finished beating up Accelerator.... does that mean that the rest of the series is going to be a filler ending? Or has more been produced already but it's only up to the Accelerator part which has been translated? |

Or has more been produced already but it's only up to the Accelerator part which has been translated? It's based on the light novels, so there should be a lot of story left. I don't know how much, though, since I haven't read them yet. Also, this episode was really strange. Although I have to admit, that it was quite funny at times. :D |
| wait, this comedy was part of the light novel? |
| yea i think so |
| very strange episode indeed. |
| Misaka service !!!!!!! and the blondie dropped a bomb.... funny how something so funny became a mystery all in 1 episode |
| Interesting. I wonder if it's his dad or his mom who casted this major spell. The "Yes We Can!" was awesome, best part in the chaos. |
 |
| Shana-tan, yes we can, index watching private channel.. and the last time I heard about the sephyrote tree was in Tales of the Abyss.. still, why do I feel like dropping it? |
| This was a weird ep, I didn't really find it funny. and I didn't understand any of their conversation in the end. |

| Russian magician ftw. I'm gonna be honest, I thought this was a dream sequence for sure. Kudos to the writers for making it an actual event. Although, honestly, wtf. Why can't Touma change everyone back by touching them? |
naikou said: Although, honestly, wtf. Why can't Touma change everyone back by touching them? I believe he has to touch the actual source that's causing the commotion, the "Distortion" or whatever. |

naikou said: Russian magician ftw. I'm gonna be honest, I thought this was a dream sequence for sure. Kudos to the writers for making it an actual event. Although, honestly, wtf. Why can't Touma change everyone back by touching them? im going to the direction that its an area of effect type of move, changing everything within the area (whether small or world-scale) but with touma's imagine breaker, he has a sort of barrier that prevented the change to affect him, leaving himself aware of the sudden change in surrounding. an assumption that i can say (cause i have no clue what the heck the convo near the end was) the necessarius magicians have their own barrier to prevent this change, meaning that the culprit for this change is a magician well theres two people who broke my line of sense in figuring things out. the red haired magician (broke the previous statement assumption because he did not have the said barrier) touma's dad (may or may not be his true dad, but a stranger. since touma doesnt remember what he looks like) 1 person who broke my line of sense in general, the new yellow haired magician. |

As for why Stiyl the Innocentius magician is affected I thinking of 2 possibilities: 1) this may not be the switching of bodies, but rather a change in the appearance of the original personality to someone else, in this case the form of someone else. 2) Whoever the magician is have casted the spell to a large number of people. The 3 magicians are not part of this large group & thus are unaffected. If both theories are false then I guess the "barrier" you mentioned might be the case. & couldn't agree more with the suspicion of Touma's "dad". He looks normal enough to me. well your theories are plausible. since touma's sister has a cellphone picture of her true form. only way to completely be sure is wait for the subs for the ep, lol. also, the humorous theory is that after this is over, everyone returns to their original forms, still have memories of what happened earlier. including touma acting insane to index, parents, etc. that...or he winds up in the hospital with the same doctor again. what is this, a running theme to end an arc? |
| Now that ... O_O was weird ... lmao xD, not too bad though seeing people acting as they were with the change in personalities and what not, ha ha Index is his mom and person who replaced index is a guy xD, loli teacher is a reporter and his friend is a member of Necessarius, what next :3? |
| Yes we can!~ Weird ep overall. Didn't realy like it. Hope the next one is more exciting! |
| "Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise" |
| Weird and... disturbing. Especially manly Index in... swimsuit... ok so who's gonna say now that Index is moe? |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Boring episode .. This series is also just going backwards in my opinion. The first few episodes were great and I used to rank this series an 8, but it's already gotten down to a 6 with this episode. Shame .. |
AznSensation said: at first i thought probably touma was having a dream I laughted till i almost cryed xD I thought oh man when will he wake up from this dream^^ Looked like an comon nightmare because of stress to meet hei parents to me xD But now, i'm curious waiting for the next episode ;D |
 |
| That was ridiculous, you can't just stick in new characters during confusion like that, and then have them try to explain away what's happening. I don't even know what I saw for that whole 20 or so minutes. |
Lexington said: you missed the fact that after he lost his memories, while he and index were going out (ep 07), touma meets up with his previous two friends coincidentally, right before heading to the restaurant to meet aisa. this is the episode right after touma losing his memories, and when so he did meet his friends already and later learned about their identities after. to further this, i went and watched ep10, and maika mentioned about her brother, so touma does indeed know that her brother is his friend, tsuchimikado. and to further that, all touma said was 'tsuchimikado' and not the first name. either this 'maika' assumed he was refering as 'tsuchimikado maika' or its a translation error by the sub group. another note: from what i can hear. the way the character speaks sounds more similar to the brother than the sister. so im going towards a misstranslation. ok i changed my mind about that. cause its strange for a boy to say 'nyaa' lol. still say its a misstranslation though. i mean, "40, 9, 30, 7. add up to 84." dont think the anime could mess up adding that badly o.o well anyways, it gave me more respect for the guy now. hes not just some random side character. |

I don't even know what I saw for that whole 20 or so minutes. i don't know, that may have been the plan anyways just to spice it up a bit. so let me get this straight...people's personalities are native, but their bodies are not. rather ironic that his hand would save him from this spell but put him in a situation where hes liable to be hated by everyone. hhaha. imagine treating your mother like a loli hehe. |
| LOL XD this episode was just damn funny |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I was ROFL when touma started yelling at his "mom"and "sister" that was soo laughable xD |
 |
| Funny episode, I liked the presidential switch the most. Btw, Index was =O |

atruong18 said: Who is conspicuously missing from this episode. Well, true, we've barely seen her at all since her arc. But I wonder who she is now?... right before heading to the restaurant to meet aisa. BTW, it's the 'dad.' Has to be. |
脱ぎません！_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .  |
JadeMatrix said: BTW, it's the 'dad.' Has to be. which brings up to the next topic, touma believes that he is his 'dad' so if its a fake, wouldnt that mean that someone would be suspicious about him forgetting what his real dad looks like? aka, finding out he lost his memories. anyhow, the dad is odd (whats with the pen) and a very obvious suspect. if its really him, then the story is TOO obvious and wont have the plot twist/shocking element in the story when we find out who the culprit is. and why do i keep on getting the feeling the arc will end up with touma in the hospital bed again? seriously though, 3 arcs so far, running theme: new arc, new character, fighting or something that involves right hand, gets sent to hospital, gets bitten to death by index. |
| at first ... @atruong18 ... where else should he end up xD xD xD and jep since hte dad is the only unknown person around him who doesnt change it isnt rly hard to come up with whats going on ^^ but ... why must index change like that its scary ^^ and whats this lil sis in all that ? well whatever the most important thing in this episode is .... KANZAKI IS BACK YAAAAY ♥♥Kanzaki♥♥ *sigh* |

| One of the best episodes so far. I rofled hard "Shana-tan is so moe" ^_^ Absolutely hilarious and awesome episode. And the plot progressed too |

I was like WTF. I caught that as soon as I saw 84. I wonder what the translator was thinking at that part. |
atruong18 said: Angelofspawn said: I was ROFL when touma started yelling at his "mom"and "sister" that was soo laughable xD i started laughing when i saw this thing. just love touma's expression That had to be one of my favorite parts in this episode, very funny, I didn't think all this randomness was leading to an actual storyline. |
| haha really funny episode, but really didnt expect it. thought it was just another fanservice ocean episode, good that it turned out to be so different. So toumas father have some connection to this? seem it will become really interesting. |
     |
| It was hilarious! I was laughing a lot during the first part of this episode. naikou said: I'm gonna be honest, I thought this was a dream sequence for sure. Kudos to the writers for making it an actual event. I was also totally convinced that he had a nightmare and would wake up every minute. Unfortunately he didnt. The weird explanation of the situation during the second part of the episode was just confusing and boring imo. ;) |
 |
| This episode was very strange, but funny. "Yes We Can!" lol |
id said: Because of that alone, this episode is 5 out of 5.Yes We Can! |
 |
| Great episode. Really funny :3 Just a question but has anyone figured out who became Index? o_o Im guessing its his other friend with the blue hair but I'm not positive. I'm saying that Touma's dad is involved in this and what happen to Himegami? >:( |
| This is a tad off subject, but Im just wondering where everyone got their sub. I got the [AoShen] sub and it's what Im used to but no matter where I play it from, the video is rather laggy but the sound runs perfectly. That said, after watching this episode, I thought it was rather funny. Not what I wanted in terms of development, but still enjoyable. |
   |
| Haha wtf @ this episode....i Touma's going to be in a sliiiightly... uncomfortable situation when everything's back to normal, lmao. Btw, did eclipse drop this series? |
Charliehsv said: Btw, did eclipse drop this series? Nah, they just released it. Looks like they were just a little behind schedule. atruong18 said: iernno, check the 1st page of this thread. Woops, look like I failed. |

Factor said: Charliehsv said: Btw, did eclipse drop this series? Nah, they just released it. Looks like they were just a little behind schedule. yes and no, the episode came out earlier than expected (something about the jcstaff holidays were shorter than regular or something), but eclipse did not want to release them both near the same time, but keep it 1 week apart. gives it a same feel to like waiting for the next episode on tv of a show that airs once a week. iernno, check the 1st page of this thread. |
| looked like a filler till the end... wonder who that jutsu master is... |
 |
| Why the hell are you guys watching AoShen suddenly? Just because they released a few days earlier? Anyway, very confusing episode, most of all the identity of that guy in the green shirt with the long name... As for the rest of the episode, Index looked nice. |
