A thread is finally created, huh? Didn't really realize that it is already July 8(6 hours till July 9 here) until I looked at the calendar .

Anyway, I liked what was shown so far in the preview. The baka trio hijinks are entertaining as always; Seria's subtle disappointment with Touma's lack of drive towards her was also fun to see. The only thing I disliked so far is Mikoto using Railgun against Touma. That's just going overboard even for her -_-. Also, that Prologue seemed very ominous to me.

Personally I wouldn't fault her for that, I put all the blame on Kamachi, heck just look at the situation he/she put them in and besides I saw it as her being more pissed at Kamachi than anything, kind of like a "You can't just give me a break can you?"

Hopefully that's all there is for the rest of the volume and we do get to see their talk about what happened during NT.9.

At least don't use the railgun, it could kill Touma if it wasn't a comedy moment.

He survived the destruction of existence itself, a railgun is nothing to him.

Besides I dare you to see someone in that get up seemingly peeping through a window and not want to shoot him.

[Sogiita]

Well, it's already 9 in Japan, hope in 36 hours w can get some pictures and spoilers

Speaking with "real common sense": electric attacks in itself are deadly too :/ but dont worry, IB wont let him die :I

[zaikoi]

Railgun attack can actually put a hole on Touma. So, it isn't a good thing even if it's for comedy.

[Draco Spirit]

I love the build up to that scene, how we get Mikoto having a good personal monolog about acceptance, reason and understanding... then goes full Tsun lol!

[zaikoi]

But,Tsun can kill him with that Railgun.

You're taking it too seriously, this way it won't just randomly happen mid volume.

This more then anything. Let's be honest here this how bit about her thinking on the situation before blowing her top off was a little remark regarding how the general fanbase feels about her antics towards Touma. Which seems to me to be a trolling incident on part of Kamachi. Good job, that's just me anyway.

But I think not it's done, we can have faith it will not happen without a good reason at least.

I would Railgun someone if they stoled my Cider though. So I guess jealousy is a better excuse.

kumokawa seria which I think Misaka is already being overshadowed by her.

Since when? I thought the only ones that point that out and take it seriously are Misaka haters or her fans when trying to defend and justify her tsuntsun antics.

To me it seems like repetitive comedy that's gotten worse over the years.

Touma..... that is all


Waiting for Othinus to steal the spotlight from Misaka. If this fight ties in with NT10 Misaka fight and what happened with Othinus then hes definitely going to need Othinus's help with explaining it all to Misaka. There was a bit in NT10 Misaka fight where Touma says he needs Othinus for her testimony and help with understanding Misaka(?) so just maybe with Othinus being mentioned in the preview and being the cause of all this that she would have some role this volume(at least im hoping for it to happen).

I wonder if Misaka does understand what Touma has done, just how much would their relationship would change.

In my eyes high priest seems so small right now.

Also inb4 this turns into an explanation volume with kuroko chasing them the whole volume and high priest only appears near the end of the volume.

She had enough time to see his face through the window of course she'll help him, now put her in the same position as Misaka, what do you think she would do to get him down from there to talk to him? What would any of the other women he knows do? Perspectives matter when taking scenes into context or out of them.

Like I said it wasn't anything to take too seriously.

He is unlucky enough to get hit by Railgun.

Zapping doesn't kill but Railgun is a different story.
It's also like punching someone in the face & slashing a knife at someone.

There're people out there who take things seriously in the story.

Well,I hope Misaka will make up for this in the rest of the volume.

Because Kamachi is going to have him get killed by a railgun right? If he hasn't gotten hit by one yet, what makes you and the people that complain ad nauseum think he ever will?

A gag is a gag no matter how tired it has gotten and sadly every anime/LN/manga has characters that will repeat them no matter what, all you need to do is not take it too seriously, the characters themselves don't so why should you? Just read it and move on.

Back on topic

Seriously hope that they have the talk, if this is another troll I see the next volume selling less copies.

I feel if I reply to this it will get off topic and out of hand so not going to and I wasnt taking it seriously at all. I only take everything Othinus seriously.

I am actually hoping for this as well. I truly want to see how the talk will go down. If kamachi has Touma ditch her again then it is confirmed he don't give a shit for her character and only has her for the sales.
