Anime: A Certain Magical Index

Character: Touma Kamijou

"Everyone is safe so the problem is gone. It doesn't matter who helped, right?"

@supplycorner thank you for the like and reblog. You're firing a lot of things so, I feel it's right that I fire back more info. Hahahah.

So, what you mentioned about not liking Index. That comment is fair game. It's not for everyone as it's really slow but what kept me going was the world-building and the magic system. Consuming the series through just Railgun by itself is good but it loses a lot of the grandness of collision between worlds.

The second comment is about Railgun itself. Mikoto is much more interesting for several reasons. Depending on your watch order, she can come across as the Science side's MC or a side character that is so cool to the point that she deserves her own spin-off.

Finally, the comment that Mikoto is suggested to be auDHD. I'm unfamiliar with that topic so I won't comment as much. I think it's adorable that she clings to Gekota and is a little embarrassed about this. Speaking from personal experience, it can feel very childish. it's a fun quirk about her that I enjoy cause I feel that same feeling.

Thank you for the comments~

Regarding Misaka Mikoto

When you think about Waifu/ Husbando culture. The word; Tsundere comes out a lot. Love them or hate them, Tsundere’s can come across to non-anime fans as someone who is borderline terrible to have as a date. To explain in “normal human language” the word Tsundere is derived from the terms tsun tsun (ツンツン) (‘to turn away in disgust/ anger’) and dere dere (デレデレ) ('to becoming affectionate’). Regarding this Wednesday’s post, I will be talking about my favorite Tsundere;

The Third among The Level 5, the Ace of Tokiwadai, The Electrical Princess, The Railgun herself…

Misaka Mikoto | 御坂 美琴

Anyone who has read my post about [World-building: becoming the Jack of all Genres], you know I had this coming! I love the <A Certain Magical Index> series in terms of its world building and its character’s respective development but I also LOVE its spin-off; <A Certain Scientific Railgun> Where we follow the young Esper’s adventures in Academy City with her best friend/ roommate; [Kuroko Shirai], her Judgement partner; [Uiharu Kazari] and close friend; [Saten Ruiko].

Born on the 2nd of May (Age: 14) and voiced by Satou Rina (Jap VA)/ Brittney Karbowski (Eng VA), Misaka’s story began when she agreed to meet Kuroko’s colleague, Uiharu and Saten for a casual hang out. After some time of mundane (at least, in Academy City’s terms of mundane.) adventures and high jinks, the pair grew to admire Misaka’s brave soul, sweet kindness and protective nature.

Raised from a more humble household, Misaka entered Academy City from an elementary age, distinguished by her professors, teachers and peers as a child prodigy. Initially starting out as a Level 1 (a low Esper rank) climbing her way up to Level 5 (the highest Esper rank.) Compared to the other Level 5′s she does not look down at students from the lower levels. In fact, she encourages them to keep giving their best effort instead of giving up.

In terms of appearance, she is described as a “proper lady” for the most part but there is also a rather tomboyish side to her. She seen wearing a pair of shorts underneath her school uniform skirt. Misaka is also shown to have a complex to her figure, feeling inferior in some areas when compared to other girls her age like; [Shokuhou Misaki]; As seen [HERE]

Yeah, I know. Its a tasteless comment, I’m sorry.

Personality wise, She’s generally friendly and easygoing but often prefers to be in solitary and dislikes the idea of being restricted by rules, complimented by her keen sense of justice against bullies and horrible scientists with her unshakable resolve. She can also be selfish, jumping head first into bad situations alone to avoid endangering other people and her friends. As shown during The Level Upper Incident and The Sisters Arc. 

As an Esper, Misaka is categorized as an; Electro Master. Which is an ability that allows her to generate and manipulate electricity, attract and repel against metallic material, manipulate iron sand to become a buzz saw, hack electronic devices, sense all electrical and magnetic phenomenon and so much more. But of course, her signature move and finishing move is; [The Railgun].

An actual scientific weapon backed up by ACTUAL science! Using her abilities, Misaka forms parallel currents on both sides of her arm and utilizing the Lorentz force, with the addition of Fleming’s left-hand rule. She can fire metal objects three times the speed of sound. Her choice of projectiles are arcade coins that when fired, has a limited range at 50 meters.

However, in the series. She has been seen using larger objects with higher voltages. Shown on top. 👆

Dangerous weapons on her fingertips aside. Misaka is also a talented violinist but also has childish side. Despite being a teenager, she still likes to buy and own cute things especially when it comes to the local mascot; [Gekota]. However, she gets easily embarrassed when she’s caught by her peers.

Her Tsundere side is heavily showcased when she interacts with the main character; [Kamijou Touma]. Where she violently swings back and forth when interacting or referring to him. Claiming that she doesn’t have a crush while at the same time, goes out of her way to care for him and assist him when given the chance.

In an interview with Kamachi Kazuma, the creator of the series. He states Misaka Mikoto will be the one he would want to choose as his friend. Fun fact, there is a China-based video sharing site <Bili-Bili>  which referenced Misaka’s nickname “Biri-Biri” given to her by Touma. 

In addition, there is the giving “coins” feature for user contributions. Referring to Misaka’s use of arcade coins for her Railgun, the user rank system from level 0 to 6 is a nod to the Esper levels and the site’s celebration of her birthday. 

Also, [THIS] modified from the site itself.

On a personal level, I see a lot of her in my own personality.

As young working adult, I too own a shrine full of plushies, toys and trinkets but I’ve learned to accept it as a part of my personality. To see a character who is told to grow up and be more woman-like while also getting intense over winning a piece of “kid targeted” merch brings me back to my crane machine obsession and frequent visits I make to a nearby toy store.

I also think Misaka is a cool and cute character! She’s flawed, insecure and she’s relatable to anyone who struggles with abandoning their child-like tendencies to becoming a functioning adult. We root for her to grow and to be honest with her feelings towards Touma and we get to see that her fight is not just her own, because she has friends that she can rely on.

I know Its a little hard for people to understand but its just a different way of finding relatable characters to love and support. All in all, its in good fun. 

Biri-Biri is BEST GIRL and I can admire her in a totally normal way.

⚡ Thanks for Reading ⚡

The writings of the real life Aleister Crowley: en . wikipedia . org/wiki/The_Book_of_the_Law

supports accelerator x misaka

Hadit and Nuit are two gods that are central to Aleister Crowley's religion of Thelema. Hadit and Nuit are described as not just being "married" but also inseparable and being two sides of the same divinity. So if two characters are meant to embody Hadit and Nuit, then they would inevitably be deeply connected in a similar manner.

Hadit and Nuit are gods that belong to the Age of Horus, the new age of spiritual awakening that the real life Aleister preached about, and also how the Toaruverse Aleister describes his ultimate goal of remaking the world by replacing all older forms of magic with "Science" (aka Thelema). Since Aleister is trying to create the Age of Horus, this naturally leads to the question of if he is also trying to create the gods of the Age of Horus in some way, perhaps by cultivating the Level 5s. And when people analyzed the series with this in mind, it turns out that Accelerator's character deeply aligns with the traits of Hadit and Mikoto/the MISAKA Network with Nuit.

Nuit is described as "Lady of the Starry Heaven, who is also Matter in its deepest metaphysical sense, who is the infinite in whom all we live and move and have our being" and is depicted as a naked woman covered in stars.

Mikoto consistently gets star-related imagery ascribed to her in all of her major character moments and in the Level 6 Shift she literally looked exactly like how Nuit is depicted. Mikoto's power is over the fundamental force of electromagnetism, which governs essentially all macroscopic physical interactions between matter (electromagnetism is the underlying principle of all chemical reactions and the reason that solid things are even solid).

Nuit is also described as "Infinite Space, and the Infinite Stars thereof" and "a sphere whose circumference is nowhere and whose center is everywhere." Nuit is further described with "Note that Heaven is not a place where Gods Live; Nuit is Heaven, itself."

"Nuit is All that which exists, and the condition of that existence. Hadit is the Principle which causes modifications in this Being. This explains how one may call Nuit Matter, and Hadit Motion."

This is practically a perfect match of the MISAKA Network that covers the world and how the Network is the basis of an artificial heaven, devoid of the influence of the old gods, and eventually an entirely new world tree as the Clonoth. Nuit is the underlying field through which Hadit moves. The MISAKA Network is literally what allows Accelerator to move after his injury.

Now there is some dispute here over whether this means Mikoto herself is Nuit or if only the Network is Nuit, but there is actually no conflict here because the solution can be found in Mikoto's name. Misaka Mikoto = MISAKA no Mikoto 'the Lord who is MISAKA'. Mikoto and the MISAKA Network are ultimately one and the same.

Hadit is described as "the infinitely condensed point, the center of Nuit's infinite circumference", "eternal energy, the Infinite Motion of Things" and depicted as a "winged globe".

Accelerator's ability is fundamentally the ability to control the motions of all things. And as mentioned above, Accelerator is literally the center and focus point of the MISAKA Network which is Nuit. Out of everyone that has been depicted with wings, his are the only ones that appear to be innate to him.

Nuit is the "infinitely-expanded circle whose circumference is unmeasurable and whose center is everywhere." Hadit is "the infinitely small point within the core of every single thing" and "the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the core of every star, and the worshipper's own inner self".

Mikoto has the largest AIM field out of all ESPers by several orders of magnitude, and the MISAKA Network's AIM field literally covers the entire world. On the other hand Accelerator's ability is completely centered on himself and his AIM field extends barely a few millimeters away from the surface of his skin. Accelerator's ability also lets him completely cut himself off from the rest of the world, a literal physical manifestation of the concept of inner focus and solipsism.

Now there is also an argument for Touma being Hadit, centered on the lines of Hadit being depicted as a serpent and being an exorcist and a magician, but at this point, thing that Touma has over Accelerator is that Accelerator doesn't have any snake imagery associated with him (yet). In all other respects Hadit clearly matches with Accelerator. It was Accelerator who "exorcised" Choronzon at the end of NT and Accelerator is the only ESPer who can go up against magicians (besides, how is Touma even a magician anyway, magic literally stops working around him). But most of all, Hadit and Nuit are Thelemic deities and the ESPers are basically Thelemic magicians so the Level 5s becoming Thelemic deities is a perfect match on a conceptual level, whereas Touma's whole shtick is being beyond the framework of any supernatural systems.

Basically, Aleister Crowley himself ships Accelerator and Mikoto.

Ive never really been into the whole Hadit/Nuit thing (if i have to see one more debate about whether Misaka or Misaki is Nuit im going to go insane), so i dont really remember a lot of this stuff off the top of my head, but i do know that theres a lot more evidence for Touma being Hadit than you give him credit for, even if i cant actually remember the specifics. A big one i can remember is the blue/yellow and green/pink color dynamic associated with Touma and KnT in NT22R, which apparently is the color scheme specifically associated with Hadit or something. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can discuss this better, because im like 90% sure that saying Accelerator is more Hadit than Touma is just...not true. Especially if youre trying to use it to claim canonicity to a ship between characters that have like, 3 interactions max, one of which involves one of them traumatizing the other.

You can find detailed arguments on the 4chan archives: https://desuarchive . org/a/

These are only two main traits of Hadit which appear to point at Touma and not Accelerator:

Blue am I and gold in the light of my bride: but the red gleam is in my eyes; & my spangles are purple & green.

I am the secret Serpent coiled about to spring: in my coiling there is joy. If I lift up my head, I and my Nuit are one. If I droop down mine head, and shoot forth venom, then is rapture of the earth, and I and the earth are one.

I am the Snake that giveth Knowledge & Delight and bright glory, and stir the hearts of men with drunkenness.

I am the secret Serpent coiled about to spring: in my coiling there is joy.

The only time we saw those colors was with Touma's dragons and so far Accelerator has never been associated with snakes.

As I said before, I think the strongest argument against Touma being Hadit is simply that Imagine Breaker is supposed to exist outside of any frameworks of magic, Thelema included, so locking him into a rigid role within Thelemic Theology as the embodiment of Hadit just doesn't make sense. On the other hand, the power of ESPers is completely derived from Thelema.

Misaki is probably a backup plan for Nuit. At this point in the story, it is all but certain that the MISAKA Network is embodying Nuit, and if you look for Hadit based on that starting point then the evidence points to Accelerator (winged globe at the center of Nuit), not Touma.

Especially if youre trying to use it to claim canonicity to a ship between characters that have like, 3 interactions max

Kamachi has like 50 more volumes to develop that relationship. We are far from the point where the plot is going to start explicitly referring to certain characters as Thelemic gods.

My favorite part of Toaru is when Accelerator said "It's Acceleration time" and accelerated all over the good guys

Pre vs Post memory loss Touma.

www . reddit . com/r/toarumajutsunoindex/comments/1ewlxoe/pre_vs_post_memory_loss_touma/

I see a lot of people ask what's the difference between both Toumas. Well, on the outside they seem almost the same but is that actually true? There are key differences between them. Let's see.

Po= post memory loss.. and pre is self explanatory.

1-Po Touma thought pre Touma was some perfect hero when he learned how he saved index, and for index's sake ( and his own ) he decided to lie about his memory loss. Thinking he can't measure up to his old self. So imposter syndrome is the first key difference between the two.

2- Pre Touma tried to save people out of guilt and index gave him hope that he can actually save someone while Po Touma started doing it because a) trying to live up to his old self. b) He can't stand someone needing help and do nothing. Until it became a habit to Po Touma, he saved people because he needed it more than the one being saved, it made him connections with lots of people. It became his identity, without saving people Po Touma is nothing, or so he thinks.

Notice how Index was the reason for both Toumas to find hope again. Absolute best girl.

3- Po Touma is more hypocritical.

A) When he heard how Pre Touma punched Kanzaki in OT1, he criticized him saying how wrong or uncool it is to punch girls when he does the same exact thing. This comes from the perfect image he held for his past self while he finds his current self not worthy. ( OT11 )

B) He criticized Anti-skill for risking their lives to save people without something in return while he obviously does the same thing. ( OT 6 )

4- Pre Touma hated his life, his luck, and imagine breaker because of his childhood past. Po Touma loves his life, luck, and imagine breaker because it gave him the chance to be around people he cares about and for giving him the chance to save people.

5- Pre Touma had no problems asking for help and while he prefered to ask people he didn't know over endangering people he cares about. Po Touma doesn't like to ask for help at all.

In the persue to imitate his old self, he ironically resulted in them being more different.

That's all from me. If you have more to add or correct me on any point, please do in the comments! That was mostly OT Touma explaination because anime doesn't do justice to Touma.

reddit comments

You forget that the pre-memory loss kamijou is more horny!!!!

Honestly I always view pre-memory loss kamijou reason for saving people because of his jealousy of people with powers

He is frustrated because he is talentless and only has the right hand that attracts misfortune in city with talent people that has power (useful power)

So he wants to become a hero or savior because of this feeling of despair and pathetic self.(Remember when he hides under the car in biohacker)

Which he proven with index

He proves someone talentless like him who has power that doesn't help him with his studies or his daily life or making him popular, power that only attracted misfortune.

Can actually change the fate of someone to the positive conclusion

And he died satisfying knowing he achieve this conclusion

u/Omaroo01 avatar Omaroo01 OP • 12d ago You are absolutely right! Also how could I forget horny Touma lol. While I think Po Touma is still somewhat horny, he doesn't persue a relationship like Pre Touma did. Pre Touma actually loved Index, it's not explicit but you could tell

Pre memory loss touma is more normal. And by that I mean he's less extreme and still has more human weakness even if he has all the same heroic quirks as touma.

Pre touma actually ran away once, albeit without thinking, then he ran right back and acted more heroic than ever. Post touma would never do that. Pre touma also intentionally made misaki fall for him and was more willing to actually purse relationships. The reason he didn't give index her thing back is because he secretely wanted to meet her again.

Post touma is worse because after completely forgetting himself the only way to give himself meaning is to bring happiness to those around him. This is combined with him having imposter complex towards his previous self, making him think he doesn't really deserve the love of others. Finally while nt9 got him over imposter complex and taught him it's ok to be selfish, at the same time it forced him to get used to things that no one should ever get used to, and also locked him into his never-change high school boy mentallity. Essentially nt9 destroyed touma's common sense in regards to limits of stupidity and desensitized him to everything, including the possibility of non-existence and every torture or fear imaginable.

I think he needs to regain his memories during his ressurection, or even right away just to realize how inhuman he's become and regain some selfish ambition, as well as realize how important he is to the girls who love him. Right now he literally lies to himself that they don't care much because he wants to be able to sacrifice himself at anytime without fearing the consequences, Othinus falsely taught him no one needed him, and although she herself now has no reason to live without him, he can't comprehend that even if she tells him. His head's screwed up and needs reset.
