To Aru Majutsu no Index LN - New Testament Volume 10 Discussion / Poll

[ACertainStark]

^I forget. Has it been implied she knows him from "childhood"? She went through great lengths to make sure Tsuchimikado did not tell anything about her to Touma.

[Death Usagi]

So... do you guys think NT Volume 10 was one of the best work Kamachi had done out of the entire Index series or you think there is another arc that rivals it?

I'm not entirely sure on that, she sympathizes with him?, I think.

You missed my next sentence lol. But yeah, I should have made sure it said one of them and not only 2, and then edited my first sentence.

Well, I'm sure we'll find out eventually... wait a minute... She's an esper right since she's in the power development program... She hasn't displayed her powers yet... but... I want to say that she might be the #6 since she found out about Touma's situation so quickly, AND MISAKI knows her. It could be possible... Though then I'm not exactly sure what her power would be...

Hmm I thought they revealed that in NT7?

I had thought about that awhile ago but it slipped my mind lol thanks for reminding me, but so far evidence hardly has any baring on who the #6 is, I believe the first thing we actually had gotten for it was back in NT with the fake one and the battle with Tsuchimakado she didn't use anything but a pistol basically. Also in the same vein as if she was the #6 why is she in the A Certain High School? at least that's what I thought of way back when and dropped the thought, but then seeing the wiki that Aogami Pierce could be the #6 while being a Kihara in-hiding made me laugh. So like I said before we don't have enough evidence to support anything but speculation, of which I do enjoy doing just that.

[Bakaizer]

its think its about time everyone notice this level 0. it would annoying if most of the people in AC and all the schools in it would be clueless on what happened

[SoloPanda]

To be honest there are very few reasons left to keep Touma's identity a secret in the video. It seems from world leaders to super villains and mad scientists all the way to military commandos and house wives know the name Kamijou Touma and most seem to have an opinion about it. Then again AC could be seen as a separate nation with no unchecked information going out or coming in.

Kamijou Shiina: One of the scariest characters in all of Raildex-dom. "Ara ara Touya-san. Mata desuca?"

I doubt the general public will know about Touma. Up till the time of the AC invasion by Vento the information control around Touma was almost perfect. He is undoubtedly famous (or rather infamous) in the magic world, but that didn't publicly exist until Gremlin started their rampage.

[Thatguy3331]

Kamichi may have been sadistic, but to me Togashi is still far more so.

All in All this was an entertaining volume even if I didn't think everything worked as well with me as it did with everybody else (I don't feel like getting hung here so I'll save it for now) The ending was fine, I guess, but frankly Touma screwing everyone over was the biggest highlight for me here. I'm very curious to see what'll come next and whether or not it'll be the final phase of the series, it has been running for a pretty long time after all even if we don't necessarily have a clear end point...besides Aleister....

[Lhklan]

One hell of a roller coaster ride, this volume was. Words can't really describe how I feel about it so I won't bother other than saying that it was great.

Happy that Othinus didn't die though. The OTP ship could still sail!

Yea this one had me all over the place I'd be laughing one minute, rage the next then get beaten down by the feels from Othinus and Touma. I have to say it will keep me looking back on it for a while to come.

On a side note, was that penguin doll in nt 9 a reference to Heavy Object... don't know why I only just thought about it...

"Intelligence Agent" is so generic though....Could be a US agent for all we know...

[Welsh_Dragon]

I just read the epilogue and this sentence is bouncing around in my head

"We have no more attachment to Othinus herself, but this ending could hinder Kamijou Touma's future"

I assume they're talking about letting Othinus die/disappear. But I am wondering why they are concerned about the future of a specific human. Are they planning to use him for something like it is implied with what they did with/to Othinus. I think I'm over thinking this this part right now.

"High Priest, we're thinking about influencing events by interfering with the existing world, aren't we?"

If we take this at face value, can it be implied that they could have influenced events any time they wanted, right? If this is true then this means it's possible that these gods could be the reason that TouMAN has Imagine Breaker.

Uh, I didn't see a single part of the text that said she was a fairy. And why would she be? The fairy spell was destroyed. No one got turned into a fairy... that was just another mostly accurate but still wrong spoiler... and apparently another one people are going to keep repeating as a fact even though nothing in the text says it. Her being 15 cm is not the same as being a fairy.

What do they mean about no more attachment? Is Othinus originally a member of them? If not, then how did she came up with the name GREMLIN for her own organization? The name of her own organization GREMLIN which is the same as the name of the organization of magic gods is just a mere coincidence?

Lol at Aqua crying btw, Manly tears man!!!

Knight Leader was the one crying.

@dniv

I remember that in NT.7 it was stated that she was a normal (different from "normal") student and had no powers but used her intelligence to fight Tsuchimikado, unless I'm wrong.

P.S. Am I the only one who wants ti see Touma, Mikoto's father team up in an arc? From what little we know about him I tought he felt like he was kinda like Touma in the way he acted and just went around helping people.

[The One Above God]

Seria 'manipulated' the 'hearts' of people like Misaki. At the same time, it's said she can't 'manipulate' her own 'heart' like Misaki again.

[Ihaxlikenoob]

9/10 Would read again.


Just finished reading it in one go.
The volume was amazingly intense, words can't describe this boss rush.

Still, at some points it didn't feel like the entire world was after him, just a very large amount of characters.

Guess this volume shows that magic's been revealed.

[dniv]

Ok NT 7 said she wasn't that valuable to the esper psychic powers program so she likely isn't a level 5, but she may have some sort of power... so much for that theory...

Also, I liked this arc best, with WWIII in second. But this arc was best mainly because of NT 9. NT 8 and NT 10 were excellent as well, but NT 9 literally came out of nowhere along with the ending of NT 8, and I guess also NT 10. That was fantastic.

But the middle was the sudden strongest improvement from my POV.

Edit:

^^ I don't know if magic has been believed or people will largely think it is some UFO stunt or whatever when people make crazy fake videos of things.

Though I am curious how AC is going to internationally condone this incident since I swear to God if they take credit for Touma's actions, then those bastards should be destroyed now. There is so much one can take...

AC attacked Touma, hacked other countries' feeds, didn't cooperate with them, and showed more insane technology to the rest of the world. I'm a it curious about the consequences of this...

Magic should be noticed sooner or later... and I wonder what will happen to religion and science when they find this out. Will we get another war? Will people be pissed off that religions use magic and etc... I see dire consequences down the line.

Otherwise, they would not reveal who Touma is for privacy. That's clearly common sense. And he doesn't care if they don't know his name. But I would like a holiday lol to be named for that day.

Also, I thought it was rather obvious from the epilogue that Touma is being used as a key element in the real Gremlin's plan. And that at the same time, Othinus who may have suffered from memory loss at some point... or who might have been manipulated, led Gremlin, which was something the real Gremlin was masterminding the whole time. This group appears to be around Aleister level given that they know more about phases than Othinus, know him, call him young, and mock him to his face even after he rips a hole into their dimension...
