Ah, but you have to touch the object in order to interact with it. Guy tends to bend that rule quite a bit, but the times when he does, it's reasonable to say that he's abusing momentum (i.e. a hurricane is a bunch of circling wind, but if you concentrated one stream of air then you could create the same affect). So you'd still be vulnerable to dying in a whole host of other ways. Let me pontificate a few ways you may still die: Poison gas, (non-visible) radiation, suffocation (either vacuum or drowning), sniped from out of sight (you're not a Jedi), murdered in your sleep, speed of light weapons (i.e. all the lasers in the show), collateral damage from mass destruction weapons (i.e. you can save yourself from a nuclear explosion, but not from the lack of cold, breathable air that no longer exists due to that explosion), and a whole world of micro-organisms ranging from bacterial infections and viruses to exotic chemicals like enzymes and acids. I prefer the opposite, though almost equally over powered, choice of being able to infinitely absorb energy of all kinds. Can still die to most of the same stuff, but anything with energy to warm or bruise me would be immediately negated. Also, innate hovering due to absorbing gravitational acceleration!

Gigguk is UK born so probably didn't take on that much debt to get his degree, at least compared to the worst cases in the US. Especially when you consider that student loans over here are really more like a graduate tax than a regular loan, in that interest isn't really a thing, you only have to pay if it you earn above a certain amount, and it gets forgiven after like 30 years. He also got it before they tripled the tuition fees a few years ago.

What fascinates me about this world is how everything makes sense. No matter how you put it, everything stays in what would normally happen in the world: the actions follow a logical procedure and it is really well thought. The powers have their own limitations like Index or Accelerator and there is a huge analogy between science and magic powers. If there is something convenient in science like phones, there is something which serves the same function in the magic side, like the communication spells. Kazuma also has the story really well thought as concepts of magic return to define other spells making it feel like studying science; and the foreshadowing is in a whole other level. It might scare people to get into, specially further the anime since there are more than 70 LN, and that's why it has not been doing as good as it did 10 years before. However, it is very rewarding. Just as a reminder, it will be the series anniversary the April 10th, making Magical Index one of the few 20th year long series.

It’s actually much more and much less complicated than how he explained it... The way Gigguk explains it, and the direction the show takes with it, is based in physics and the natural sciences. But vectors and matrices are a mathematical concept first and foremost. Mathematically speaking, a vector is simply an ordered series of numbers. That’s it. We USE vectors to represent a lot of things, usually things with magnitude and direction, but vectors are simply a way to structure data. Which is why Accelerator’s ability makes ABSOLUTELY NO GODDAMNED SENSE. Pretty much ANYTHING can be represented as a vector, so having the ability to “manipulate vectors” is like having the ability to “change numbers.” It’s so broad-you could argue that he should be able to represent someone’s physical size as a vector and make someone tiny or gigantic, or someone’s age, or any number of things.

This was the second anime I ever watched. 7 years later, and it still remains one of my favorites despite how mediocre so many episodes were. I agree with you on practically every point, particularly the deep intricacies of the powers and Accelerator being the *best. character. ever.* I remember when I first watched it, it hooked me because, despite all the light ecchi stuff and the weird structure of the various arcs, it felt.. intelligent. The explanations of the magic and science worlds absolutely fascinated me, especially in the Touma/Accelerator fight, and even though the fandom was small and almost non-existent at the time, I was glad to be in it. Seeing that they ARE planning to continue the series with S3 and ACSA-which, I think I ruptured a spleen when I heard about it-I can genuinely say almost no other anime or show has held my excitement and hype this long, and I'm SINCERELY happy they didn't decide to drop it like a hot potato. TL;DR: TAMNI and ACSR were some of my first anime and I still love them to this day. And I agree with Gigguk on pretty much every point. Edit: *chokes on water* 281 likes?? Dear doodlebob!

Touma is him, he's the MAN, the TouMAN. Let me share you guys the greatness of TouMAN, The one who purify god and slays demon, the right hand user, Imagine breaker, God of Pestilence, Kamijou (above god). TouMAN, the gender equality god: - If you are a villain, prepare, even Joker can be save if it's TouMAN. BE WOMAN, BE MAN, BE CHILDREN, BE THE OLD, BE PREGNANT, BE HOMO, you won't escape the punch if you're a villain that need their mind fixed with a punch in the face, TOUMAN, the chad of all chad, the gigachad before gigachad was even a thing, will come and say: "do you need to have a reason to save someone?" further escalated to "Hero? Villain? Stop kidding around! Can't you save someone if you're not standing at that spot?! In front of your eyes are people that don't wish to cry that are crying!". A gigachad that doesn't shout out I want to be a hero, a gigachad that doesn't shout out because I am this and that, I have to save them, he just save them as they need his help. He will save you: - Be his enemy, be his friend, be a stranger, be a killer, be killing him billion of times, be torturing him endlessly, if you can be saved, TouMAN will save you, even if he need to face the whole world. He won't follow you into your hell, because it would be very suffering for the two, instead, he drag you out of it. A chad with a taste: - Touman cares about no girls, he flushes like other man, he loves Onee-san types, but he never loves anyone romantically nor wasting time for it, he isn't a simp, he doesn't fap, he's a healthy boy with a healthy right arm that he only use to save people who need his help, the very hand who people say brought him unfortunate, he said that thanks to that very hand, he was able to save people. A chad that deemed himself as normal: - "I'm just a normal high school boy you could find anywhere". A normal highschool boy who worries about a family member of him everyday, though struggling with life at times, complaining about his unfortunate, he never meant to complain his very life even once. A gigachad with a mental of a gigachad: - I'll take revenge? I can't do this no more? It's suffering? Reject all of that, the normal highschool boy himself will survives through an endless hell of death loop mix toturments and will safe the one who did that to him. A strong will to the point that he could endure all of that and end up broken, but saved with just a person that care about him, he just need to express his emotions and all that hell was left behind like it's nothing. A gigachad with eggs priority. -he need food, help this man, though he survived without a need of a help, what a chad. A chad where in conversations, you don't talk about how ridiculously strong of a character this chad is in fiction, but how chad TouMAN is. A chad that is original: - As a chad, he's original, his power is originally uninteresting turned originally interesting and unique. His character is too well built to be replicated by anyone. His power, his characteristic and the way he's developed is the original, the unique, he's one true best of the best of all protagonists to ever exists, only rivalled by Accelerator the god himself and the other one that spoiler spoiler. Over all, Kamijou TouMAN is the chad, the humble, the Gender Equality, the Self-called normal chad.

And yes, she ends up appearing in important situations and may even annoy everyone, but it's not like she knows the magnitude of what is happening and causes trouble on purpose, she's just inserted in some scenarios without an explanation for everything that is happening. From an observer's point of view her actions are quite reasonable given the circumstances.

LMAO Fate Seroes is rather simplistic. It literally just - "each new anime adaptation is a different route, view it as if the other fates don't exist because it is a self contained story unto itself." Toaru Series - everything is connected and intertwined, and ALL current anime events take place within less than 6 months timeframe... e.g. - Railgun and Railgun S starts as a prequel to Index S1, then runs parallel to index S1 and finishes halfway through Index S2. For reference, with no spoilers; *May/June - Start of Railgun anime. *June 17 - Mikoto meets Kamijou Touma for the first time. #*July 20 - Touma meets Index. Start of Index anime. #*August 30 - Silent party arc (STUDY). Railgun anime season 2 ends here. #September 30 - The Academy City Invasion Arc occurs. End of Index Season 2. #First week of October - Document of Constantine Arc occurs. (Episodes 1 - 3 of index, Season 3) So there's no confusion; # - indicates within Index anime timeline. * - indicates within Railgun anime timeline. And now that Accelerator is getting his own anime next year, it very well may be a semi-prequel origin story just as Railgun was. We may see the Sisters Arc (Level 6 Shift Project) again, but from his perspective as the antagonist... It is one of the best story arcs in the series, but I'm personally hoping that they take his current condition and timeline in Index S3 and run from there - with references to Sisters Arc and origins in flashbacks only.
@InsomniacUN5 жыл бұрын
I honestly think getting into Raildex is harder. See, with Fate, you can just tell someone to read the VN. And while that's kind of a meme at this point, it IS the best way to get into the series. From there, people can watch Fate/Zero and pretty much anything else they want after. Index though, is a bit more tricky. Again, you can just tell someone to read the LN, but the LNs aren't nearly as straightforward as the Fate/Stay Night VN routes. You need to know what order to read the main series, when to read the side stories, when to read Railgun, etc. The problem with Raildex is that the author not only writes practically everything in it, but also references events from spin-offs in the main series and vice versa. You kinda have to read the companion stories to fully understand the main series. With Fate, you don't. Raildex is an interconnected world while Fate is an interconnected set of worlds. This makes it much easier to deal with, as separate continuities mostly exist within their own universes. Index, on the otherhand, loves to jump from storylines in one spin-off to another.

I feel like the science side is naturally more appealing to people with an exposure to science, but anyone with familiarity with folklore, mythology, religion and occultism, the Magic side can be just as if not more compelling IMO. And I really, really feel like Touma gets a bad wrap, but a lot of that may just be due to how the anime fails in capturing his charm. But hey, I am so so happy that you gave this series a chance and gave it the shoutout it deserves! Major props.

What I like about index is that everything, no matter how small has an impact on future events. Like, there are near no lose threads or plot points. For instance, in the first arc, index in John Penn mode shoots a light beam which Kaori redirect upwards. Well some episodes later you start hearing how the weather report in the city used to be perfect (and now it isn’t), the in Railgun you discover a satellite called three diagram (which is a super computer) was destroyed. Well it was destroyed by index in the first episode which more or less unfolds a lot of the events in Railgun and ww3 (one of the reasons why academy city needs to raise funds. Or like index telling accelerator that his power resembles high amount of Telesma. Ffs this show is awesome!!!

I actually like Toma's Imagine Breaker, both in what it does and as a concept. In the world of Index, it's a power that can't be explained by magic or science, it's a power that others might undoubtably have, mysterious super powers that can't be explained by magic, which has it's place in lore and mythology. It also can't be explained by science, the superpowers of human physics and science. It's a power of imagination, it honestly reminds me of Bungo Stray Dogs' skills, the supernatural abilities that people can be born with and are unexplainable. It's a power that an ordinary person could have without knowing it. The other reason I like Toma's ability is because of reasons I like the abilities of the likes of Osamu Dazai, Shota Aizawa, and even Asta from Black Clover to an extent. Their abilities that make supernatural powers stop, it forces people to fight as an ordinary person, with kicks and punches and being really strong as a normal human. Make it so they have a fight scene that's all about hand to hand combat or have the opponent realize that they are nothing with their powers. Or another way to fight this nullification of abilities is to work around it's limitations to use their superpowers. Dazai's 'No Longer Human' skill only works on other skills and with physical contact, so you could just shoot him or be a more skilled fighter that him, though I feel Aizawa was the one who truly embodies and has had happen to him in the 'work around the limitations of his ability in this part. Aizawa's quirk manifests in his line of sight, so how did the villains work around his limitation? By waiting for him to blink, that's when he's vulnerable and you can use their quirks against him, or by using a superiorly physical being, the Nomu. The blinking and eyesight limitation was what the Momo and Todoroki used during the end of the year exam, when he has his eyes closed, they can use their quirks, and Aizawa's quirk also had a secondary and much less important limitation that was exploited in the form of "the effects after the use of a quirk are not negated", which is how Momo was able to use her creations even though Aizawa was using his quirk on them. All to say, I like abilities that negate abilities, I also like the characters that have these abilities. Edit:I just realized this a bit after commenting, but it also gives a chance to interact with people with powers that are uncontrollable or would just kill a person with a single touch, or both.

In terms of all three media the manga for INDEX is by far what I think is the best paced of them. 2) Don't sell Touma short either, I realize these days LN protags are dime a dozen but there is something about him that stands out from the crowd too. Before My Hero Academia, Touma was my favorite embodiment of the themes of being a hero.

13:35 That's only half right. Originally, he could do everything without the computer, even hacking computers by manually hacking the vectors sending signals. During one of the arcs, in which the small Misaka is introduced, he takes a bullet to the brain, which heavily damaged his computational ability, to the point that when the battery runs out, he becomes a jabbering lunatic. They manage to save him by using the "Misaka Network," just around ten thousand clones of Misaka linked telepathically, and they patched him into it, saving him. Due to that, the complexity of his manipulations have gone down, and he is limited to thirty minutes of using his powers per charge. Also, Touma's ability is easily the most complicated ability in the show. The ability to cancel all powers that make contact with his right hand, which in itself is one of the worst handicaps in the show, is a by-product of his ability existing, not the ability itself.

@@zapperil Well, Touma seems to three distinct powers that encompass the "Imagine Breaker." The first is its ability to erase anything abnormality. It is the weakest of his powers, but it appears to be able to erase high level angels, evident by the fact that Gabriel was afraid of it. The second power, a seven headed dragon, is so powerful that it made Fiamma of the right's Holy Right, an ability with the power of the original miracles stated in the bible(Miquel's ability to cast Lucifer out and Jesus's ability to heal the sick) look insignificant, and it can rival the power of the magic gods. These powers come directly from whatever is squatting within his hand. As Fiamma stated, these powers only exist in the right hand as long as the right hand is connected to Touma's right shoulder. The power is also sentient, reattaching itself whenever his arm is cut off, or growing a new arm and transferring to said new arm if reattachment is impossible. Apparently, Touma's right hand is a perfect vessel for said power. The final part of Touma's power is his own inherent power, which can overpower the dragon and contain it. Also, due to some discrepancies in power-scaling(Another similar but weaker power, world rejector, can defeat magic gods, but Touma's power was crushed by one magic god) has led Touma to suspect there is more then one entity within his right hand. Confused yet?

I remember watching this video back in January of this year and while I didn't immediately start Toaru at that time, it put it on my radar and when I did decide to give it a go around April of this year I ended up falling in love with the series. I wasn't super into it at first when I started with the Index anime, but I absolutely loved the first season of Railgun and was surprised at how compelling the characters were. Since then I've watched all of the Railgun and Accelerator anime, caught up on all of the manga and just recently finished New Testament volume 14 of Index. New Testament 9 was miles ahead of the rest of Toaru and is easily one of my favorite books/pieces of storytelling media of all time, which is praise I don't give lightly. I probably would have never started the series if not for this video so I came back to leave a comment and a like and say thank you for this recommendation.

Accelerator doesn't need to calculate everything that comes his way, since his reflective barrier is mostly passive, as explained by Kakine. Accelerator doesn't calculate everything in real time. He sets his vector reflection to avoid most of the harmful things that come his way, and allows everything else to come through. It's a whitelist, so he only needs to set the vectors that he wants to get through, meaning less calculations. So it doesn't really matter how fast you are, it's not going to get past as long as the passive barrier identifies the vectors coming at his way as harmful. (Or something like that, haven't read Index for a while now) It doesn't cover everything of course. If you could identify the specific vectors that Accelerator uses to defend himself, you could use that against him.

The thing that convinced me this was not ordinary fantasy harem garbage is when everyone had been taking "Index's brain will explode if she creates too many memories" at face value, then Kamijo is like "wait, that doesn't seem right." So he calls an actual neuroscientist who is all "lol no, that's ridiculous." Almost every other show expects you to accept their absurd premises, and Index is going to have theirs, too, but they're telling you here that it's going to do the work.

Also the harem aspect actually has an in-world explanation and is recognized as being absurd at multiple times in the franchise. The explanation is that the Imagine Breaker broke Touma's red string of fate, and it wards off blessings from God, so he has bad luck with girls, which is exactly what we see, as he gets girls attached to him easily, but can never hold a real relationship - which is what happens to other anime protagonists as well, but they don't have the Imagine breaker.

in defense of kamijou touma as a character he is the perfect protagonist of this show. Cause how i see is that his character is build not to entice you on his story but rather on to teach you on how the world around him works and grows further in the story. Touma's backstory is really just simple that you don't see in many animes nowadays but because of that he is a perfect medium for the world of to aru since he is a character in between the two sides of power since he isn't considered an esper cause his power cannot be scientifically explained but is considered an esper since he was born with the power. He's also not a magician since he's power negates things that are unnatural like magic but going back that his power is unexplainable to scientific calculations just like magic. With this type of character is just the perfect blend for this type of story. also to further in i really like his personality he isn't stupid but not highly intelligent he can understand the basics of many things but going further beyond that is impossible for him, again this just ties up on how his character is a medium for the viewer of the story and how he is very dense to other people's feelings for him is explained is something that you don't see in many animes.

I agree, or so that's the impression you normally get from his character. Touma is a very simple, yet complex character, you just need to properly understand his view and both the anime(which did a great job for an adaptation to hint it) and LN gives you various information about specifically Touma in a subtle way. This gives you the room to actually try and dive deeper into his psycholgy, which absolutely does not end at "I'm a protagonist and it's my job to save people and be as shounen as I can be", it expands further beyond it. The world building is there to make everything feel real, but it also serves as a tool to help the viewer/reader make comparisons to learn about the characters and essentially how they view the world.

I really feel bad for Touma in the anime. You barely see what his character actually is in the anime. In the LN, I'm confident to say that Touma's character is on par with Accelerator, if not better.

Being as I have only started, after being put off by Index a year ago, but having binged all seasons of Railgun in a way I haven't binged in years, I am about to start Index, then Accelerator. You are about the seventh comment that claims the LN is really good, better than anime for Index. Not having yet seen Index, this is not a lot to go by. But, as someone who is planning to buy light novels like they are going out of fashion, you convinced me to spend a few paychecks on this little thing called Index. I thank you now, and I hope to return with another thanks in a year when I have binged all content of this new hobby of mine.

I would put Tôma and Index pretty much at the bottom, I really can’t stand Index and Tōma, they’re both annoying and there’s so many things wrong with their characters. Mikoto is the only main character that you can argue is good, and Railgun is done much better than Index.

Ben Greene Ya it sucks that the anime didn’t convey Touma’s and Index’s characters as good as they are in the LN. Touma would literally be number 1 if not top 3. As a light novel reader its just unfortunate to see their characters like this.

But also I would recommend the original volumes aswell, not just Touma that's better but even Accelerator and specifically Hamazura is better in them since Hamazura had alot of content cut from the anime since season 3 adapted 9 novel volumes in 26 episodes plus skipped the 10 volume that never even got adapted

I still like Touma in the anime because his VA is really good and he gets a lot of funny lines, but he's a lot weaker than his original light novel version. One of his strongest traits is decisive thinking, and it elaborates on his thought processes to stop a bad guy or help a friend, whereas in the anime he'll just run at them and do a Terry Bogard Power Dunk
