Fukou da! Such misfortune!

With time running out, Accelerator isn’t able to find Last Order at the restaurant where he left her. The waitress informs him that a guy in a white coat took her, so he calls Yoshikawa to figure out what to do. She informs him that Amai should still be in the city, so Accelerator goes to track him down. He finds Amai in his car with Last Order in a deserted area, and when Amai tries to run him over, Accelerator easily stops the car. He knocks Amai out as Amai tries to exit the car, and after examining Last Order, he tells Yoshikawa over the phone about the equipment hooked up to her that’s...

Even for To Aru Majutsu no Index, the number of punches to the face was off the charts in this arc’s conclusion. Accelerator was on the receiving end for a good chuck of them when his battery died, so there was no shortage of his face getting smashed in. Touma on the other hand got the job done with a single right once the opportunity presented itself, much like he always does. Good ‘ol Imagine Breaker. It’s so reliable it’s worth laughing over.

Amazingly, Touma’s preaching felt so warranted this time because Vento’s grudge against science is so messed up. It’s pretty hard to sympathize...

Now is it just me or is this series so much better when it doesn’t beat around the bush with religious mumbo jumbo and stuff actually happens on screen? We had Accelerator trying to get Kihara’s Hound Dogs off his back, Touma trying to do the same before Vento came along, and Kuroko causing a commotion over Mikoto like only she can. Throw in Uihara for good measure and the end result is To Aru Majutsu no Index just the way I like it.

The best part of it all is that the progression is seemingly straightforward, except with a lot of foreshadowing on things to come. This includes the attack...

Touma is able to dispel the golem with just one touch of his right hand, but Sherry Cromwell easily reforms it. Fortunately for Touma, he’s got the Anti-Skills force backing him up, and they chip away at the golem with their bullets. Cromwell counters by casting a spell to reinforce the golem, and Touma knows what he has to do. Although he doesn’t want Hyouka trying to stop him or touch him due to his ability, Touma reassures her that he’s her friend and promises to return. He then charges at the golem and gets thrown back, but when it tries to smash him, he slides under its arm and reaches...

After lunch, Touma, Index, and Hyouka wander around the underground shopping center, and the two girls go off to have some cosplay pictures taken while Touma answers a phone call. Touma can’t figure out who’s on the other end because it’s garbled up, and after hanging up, he accidentally sees Index and Hyouka changing again. The girls still get their picture taken though, and the group is then approached by a member of Judgment who informs them that there is a terrorist around. Everyone is being evacuated, but before Touma and company can reach the exit, they are discovered by one of...
