Misaka Misaka is the best character in this show. They're going to have so much fun with her and Accelerator in the Index-tan shorts.

[SwiftStrike]

it looks like we wont run into touma for a while...(besides the previews)
or maybe he'l save the day

accelerator isnt the bad guy that he seemed like...10eps ago.

[orion]

Yep, the poor guy was misunderstood after all. Misaka Misaka saw the goodness in him.

So this episode is happening at the same time that ep. 18 is happening. (Index's rant could be heard on street level.) No Touma in next episode then either other than the previews. I wonder if any overlap will be shown.

[Bordix]

Well, he did kill those sisters (brutally) although, if it wasn't for him, those sisters would have never existed in the first place. So uhmm.... yeah...

[SaintessHeart]

It seems that Accelerator is still as powerful as before. But the noise blockade part is hilarious.

[BlueDo]

It was hilarious in the beginning when he was shopping like a normal person
The noise blocking was amusing, too.

[Ultimate Chicken]

It's amazing that how Accelerator meets Last Order is quite similar to Touma meets Index. Down to the stripping. <_<

[bladeofdarkness]

so the hero spends the day with biri biri
and the villain turned anti-hero spends it with biri biri's mini me
why is this show called To Aru Majutsu no Index again ?

Because the first book was intended to be standalone but things didn't go to the author's intentions and the popularity of said first novel spawned a series. The author can't find anything good to do with her so she is just left with little purpose.

Definitely don't see what to misunderstand. Because in reality, 10000 people lay dead because of him.

[Master Assassin]

Even if his 10,000 kills was unforgivable that doesn't mean we can't give him a chance to reform.

I find it quite disturbing when people shrug off such characters like that even though he's pretty much that hateable.

Hoh~, and what says he won't kill again with his cheat-level powers? It's not like he accidentally killed 10000. He didn't have good will in it. He slaughtered them because he wanted to be strong enough that no one will even try fighting them.

Well, even if he "reforms" (how? By becoming a lolicon and saving a loli?), his past BIG sin won't change (if his sin was something smaller, than, yeah, perhaps he could reform, but when you reach his point, there's a limit to what you can just forgive), so nothing changes... I wonder how many mass slaughters have actually changed for the better in this world... Not only that, how old is the brat?

Well, if you realize he's that hateable and still find it disturbing, there's nothing I can do...

[Chaos2Frozen]

As expected, putting Accelerator in the limelight does give off a slight difference in feeling than with Touma, but that's all good Glad to see that he's still carrying on with life as per 'normal' despite losing to Touma, I would hate to see him spiral down with hatred and obessive thoughts of revenge like some other villains...

As for Last Order... What can I say In some ways, she's exactly what I would expect, and in some other ways completely didn't expect...

Especially when Accelerator stripped her

[Kyral]

I find it interessting that actually no one in the story hates Accelerator directly.

The Sisters themselfs should have the most reasons doing so.
But no, they don't hate him. They actually called themselfs 'Things' or 'Equipment' and didn't really mind getting slaughtered. They followed the experiment like ordered.

Mikoto always said how she wanted to save the Sisters but she never showed much hatred towards Accelerator, she hated the scientists and Three Diagramm a lot more than him. Heck! Trying to get killed only to stop everything? She even hated herself more.

Touma was the only one who was more willing to really beat him, but not because Accelerator was such an evil guy but more to stop this crule experiment and to save the sisters from this. Again, the experiment is more hated than the actual person running around and killing people.

It's funny that the only people who really had all the right to hate him, never did.

At least this is how it looks to me, maybe I missed something.

[MrTerrorist]

I find it kinda funny nobody is bother that a young naked girl wearing only a blanket is following some albino teenager. What happen to child services or the city authorities just too corrupt or don't give a damm to do something?

[eiyuu99]

Would you feel guilty about killing 10,000 ants?
Would you feel guilty about killing creatures that consider themselves expendable or things?

"Death of one man is a tragedy, death of a million is a statistic"
You have to recall Accelerator's conversation with Misaka network before they begin the one-sided battle

[orion]

Also, Misaka Misaka said that she realized that all that talking that he was doing before the fight might have been so that the Misaka clones would have backed down. They engaged him instead and got destroyed. So there wasn't an instance where the Misaka clones surrendered and got killed.

If this is a fight to the death, then I'm not going to have pity on the Misaka clones either. If I'm engaged, then I'm not going to leave the clone alive to fight another day either.

Yeah, Accelerator was too cheap to buy her some clothes.

[Cinocard]

Then why must he scared them off before finishing them? Just give them a painless death, spare all those horror movie talk.

Even if his 10,000 kills was unforgivable that doesn't mean we can't give him a chance to reform.

The word "reform" itself says that we didn't misunderstand him at all. He was just all we saw in him, a bastard, and now he's heading toward light. But it doesn't change the fact that he was once, a bastard.

This post is ftw

[Bordix]

Last order states that he wanted the sisters to stop fighting him. So, he did that by trying to scare them off(or something like that). btw, Is reversing your blood flow and uhm painless?

Funny, how accelerator kept reminding us how he cruelly enjoyed killing the sisters blah blah blah and accelerator haters actually agreeing with him

Especially when Accelerator stripped her

Wonder what would happen if the real misaka was there

Even if you want me to believe the preaching of something a loli who spent a day with him decided to say (tteka, whether he tried to scare them off or not, he obviously didn't restrain himself in killing them *laugh*)......
Probably not painless, not that I want to find out first hand, which means he sure had his time enjoying killing them (clearly there are more cleaner ways to kill them).

Funny? How? Because haters agree with something he said?

Complete agreement, but nothing much I can do about this frustrating fact. The author doesn't want it to happen, it doesn't. The author apparently wants to set him up as an actually likeable guy or something, with the long preach by Last Order that made less delicious sense than sending a mage to the front lines (sense, as in "So? What's your point?" not the guess on why he acted the way he did)
