To Aru Kagaku no Railgun - Episode 24 Discussion / Poll [FINAL]

[Fandal]

In a way, this ending seems forced. Looking at what happened in the past, everything here doesn't make sense.

It feels like this ending is pandering to people who want: lots of action, an easy to tell that person is a villain who is evil, everyone is happy again, and so forth. Linking the story with the rest of Index/Railgun - not so much.

When I try to link it up to the rest of the story and even index, it doesn't link up. It's like they took what Kirama-sensei said to Misaka that Academic City isn't as easy as Princess Misaka think's it is and threw it out the window for an easy villain, and easy action scene, and so forth. How did this ending make Misaka grow?

[Haak]

No point in me giving my bit by bit thoughts. Through out the whole episode all i was thinking was how much win this was made out of.

I just dropped it a point because there were points here and there that felt a little cliche. Just bits and niggles like Telestina doing the typical "explaining how she will succeed" and "Just give up. You can't achieve anything".

Otherwise, it was brilliant.

The whole power of friendship thing makes this look like it should be later than the sister arc [While Touma and Index are out of town for example.] unfortunately this is set on at latest

Spoiler for the 8th:

Which is Touma and Style vs Aeolius

and 9th.

I was expecting that but then I was expecting Kongo to use Aero Hand to counter Capacity Down.

Spoiler for Events of the 10 August:

Saten and Mikoto find cash cards. Mikoto meets Nunotaba Shinobu. Mikoto infiltrates Seguchi Pharmacies Lab 7 to discover that the "Radio Noise" project was cancelled due to the copies only reaching level 2. A Misaka wipes lab 7's records.

Those of you wondering whether or not Telestina is dead need to watch past the end credits.

[LastResolve]

great episode i keep wondering how easy it would be for kakine or accelarator to stop that robot lol i really HOPE fore a new Season of Tamni since thanks to railgun the series got really popular xD

[Jin Kizuite]

Noooooooooooooo, there's no more railgun after this! Now what other" shows will I watch on my Saturday other than Durarara? ;_;

Kakine: This day is soooo hot! Hey! Why are you melting with the sunlight?
Accelerator: *The robot flies away after touching him*... I guess something touched my back, nahh!

In nothing all of this is going to be thrown away.

And that she could use the metal fist for the Railgun to begin with is because it wasn't too big, plus the ideal position to fire made possible by Kuroko.

That makes the railgun more unrealistic, you know the more big is the projectile the more bigger should be the recoil, but in this series.... there is no recoil nor heat.

[Marcus H.]

Well, I can't blame Biribiri. She's just that stubborn.

[Bonta Kun]

Ahhh man I'm feeling really down now, no moar Kuroko-sama!!!

Well that was a pretty great way to end the series, while there was some "wtf?" moments last ep altho still a good ep this just went with the flow and you just have to love it!

Think best bit is def Kuroko-sama and Kongou, they totally stole the lime light this ep!

p.s I would have loved to see Mugi-chan throwing trucks at helicopters

[Wrath88]

I just wonder about Accelerator's reaction to Capacity Down when you mention him. Normally he'll redirect the sound, right? But if the Capacity Down affects his ability to do so...

Oh, and I don't usually post here, so apologies if this is an old topic.

Kongou's ability is quite interesting, how does the physics of it work?

[tsunade666]

anything she touch will be blasted by wind. its a specialization of wind control to the point that anything she touch. The wind will gather their and strike it.

As for accelerator it would work on that guy. He can just deflect it and also for kakine.
That will only work on the lower parts level that doesn't have a freaking cheat on them.

[Wrath88]

Oh, I see. Air Handle is an apt name then. By touching the place, she creates a 'handle' for the air to gather around, then that air will propel the item that has been targeted.

Lolz, a flipped coin followed the car's vector until Biribiri could do her railgun. Well, the rest of it was satisfactory enough.

Still, I wonder how Telestina could have survived.
Railgun 1: Her cockpit wasn't as high it seemed
Railgun 2: The Electromaster took the brunt of the damage. Well, at least she should have some broken ribs

Redirection would reflect all the 'harmful' sound waves before it could affect him.

Besides, you wouldn't want Accelerator to lose control over his powers now, would you? Unlike Mikoto, this guy is likely willing to take out the entire city block just to destroy the Capacity Down system.

Huh?

[Marcus H.]

Someone contacted me in the Wiki and said that Mazui made a mistranslation and it was Aero Hand, not Air Handle. But but I heard "Air Handle" clearly back at the episode...

Listening to it more closely, it sounds like she says "Air Hand". But it might be Aero. In any case, I'm sure it's hand and not handle.

[-Sho-]

End of this show .

There were some good and some bad things .
Oh well , Biribiri with her kickass Railgun , win .
Rofl , Telestina with her spear reminds me Valkyria Chronicles .

I'm not very enthusiasm about Railgun , i still prefer Index ( not the character , the show ) .
Overall , i'll give a 6/10 .

Now , JC-Staff , i want SnS S3 ^^

And not even a drop of blood. Huh? Did JC Staff all of a sudden develop a phobia of showing good guys getting hurt? It just feels dumb whent he good guy is barely getting scratched in the final battle. We're not watching Pokemon; I think we can handle a little blood on our good guys.

Aside from the cheeeeeeeese (plus, Mikoto speeches just don't have the same impact as Touma speeches) this is probably my biggest complaint on the episode. I mean, here we have a woman walking around in a robotic suit of armor which has already shown to be quite powerful, and smacking around kids with them doesn't do more than generate a couple of bruises?

What?

That aside, it was still a very enjoyable episode. Now to wait for the manga to generate enough material to warrant a second season.

You forgot that this is Railgun, not Index. It has to be all about candies and flowers and sunshine; the villain has to be typical i-have-no-idea-why-she's-batshit-insane-but-she-just-is meanie; trying-to-sound-epic-but-failing-terribly-at-it speeches; and blood and gore is a fictional concept like the Loch Ness Monster and global warming. All of which corresponding to Misaka's naivity.

Personally I feel that the only thing of note this episode was that we finally got to see Aero Hand in action, and it did not disappoint.

Right I agree with you. Just seeing kuroko and Kongou side by side made the episode complete( I wouldn't complain on the ridiculous big railgun + the CHEESE in the end.... really I wasn't emotional at all. And Could they just add more blood. The index anime is also ruin for me because I didn't get to see blood zombie touma when he fought against accel.... Why was all their works are ALL NO BLOOD BATH AT ALL!

Huh?

If your talking about kakine. I think I mean it wouldn't even made contact with kakine. Because she needs to deal with those wings before she even made close to him.

Hmm I decided to listen to that again, and I heard it as "Aero Hando"... so... it is Aero Hand.

Anyway, I'll just be one of those people who think this episode is one of the best thing I've seen... though there was the feeling of it rushed somewhere, but over all, very enjoyable.
