Gotta love how dramatic Kogou acted when she was eliminated.

[Side-streetdog]

This is a good episode, balloons battle done a better job than I hope
But Misaki meet Touma scene, I feel lacking. They could done a lot better than this
In manga, even we don't much about Misaki at that time.
We still knew something was wrong in that meeting.
With Misaki story already revealed in novel, I was expected more, probably too much

But well, that telepathy girl screaming surpassed my expectation

[Frontier]

That frog mask is so Mikoto .

I love how Kongou takes her balloon popping and turns it into a dramatic death scene. She's so delightfully extra .

I guess with proper strategy and use of resources, even a lower-grade school can give some elite, prep school, girls a good run for their money .

As if the loss isn't enough for Tokiwadai, now they all might need to start cleaning toilets .

It was great to see Kuroko can still catch some crooks even in a wheelchair. Nice to hear her go "Judgement Desu No" again as well .

Maybe Uiharu should just wear shorts in general. Would save some embarrassment from Saten flipping her skirt all the time .

Touma! He was in the Opening, but it was nice to see him make his pre-requisite appearance in Railgun .

Misaki had a weird reaction to Touma showing up. Plus...how did she know his name when he never introduced himself ?

So now it looks like we're going to see a Sister kidnapped again. I guess whatever MEMBER needs Misaka for, they can settle for a clone, which Misaki helpfully pointed out to them .

[serenade_beta]

Did they fire the jet plane-SE guy? I think Touma's ability's SE changed again.

Nope, Mikoto was the only target, that one dude doesn't know that he got a clone, he thinks he got the original.

When why they discussed Sisters in ep. 1? Also, from the phone talk Misaki had it sounded like she told that the one on screen is not the real Mikoto. Am I misdunderstanding something? Or is she playing her own game here?

[Marcus H.]

Thanks to Discord, here's some info about the sound effects guys throughout the years.

They changed the sound director for the series.
Railgun (and Index Movie/Accelerator) is Jin Aketagawa, an anime industry legend and is even the blueprint for the sound director in Shirobako! (https://myanimelist.net/people/8074/)

Index I and II is by Yasunori Ebina (https://myanimelist.net/people/8110/Yasunori_Ebina), while Index III is by relatively inexperienced Takayuki Yamaguchi, most prominently as sound director of Steins;Gate 0 and Eromanga-sensei. (https://myanimelist.net/people/40087/Takayuki_Yamaguchi)

Also, another piece of trivia: this episode apparently trended in Japan, with New Testament Volume 11 SELLING OUT after the airing of the episode.

[Wandering Soul]

Dang, the clones are almost as bad as Touma and Misaka when it comes to staying out of trouble.

Kongou's reaction to getting eliminated is very fitting for her.

Yeah, I thought she was with that same guy at the end who she was telling that the Mikoto they pricked was actually a Sister, since she could tell the difference with her powers.

Speaking of sound, Imagine Breaker seems like it's back to what it used to sound like? Or some approximation to that effect.

[Marcus H.]

Yep, the IB sound is familiar-sounding now, only slightly subdued.

[HandofFate]

Misaki x Touma is probably my 2nd favorite ship pairing

[Kuroageha]

As expected, anime only audience caught interest on Misaki and started investigating about it causing Misaki to be trending as well as the increase of manga/LN related to her.

They're all welcome to the ship of eternal denial

Misaki and Toma.

Um...

Reading/watching a little too much Attack on Titan, are we?.....

[Random Wanderer]

Even though it didn't pay off due to Baba's interference, 10032's declaration that after facing Accelerator 10000 times these kids are nothing but small fry felt pretty damn awesome.

not at all. I hate AOT that was just confused and i actually meant to say Misaki. hard to say more because of spoilers but that ship is doomed for many reasosn

[Shinji103]

Well given something else (well, it’s not really a spoiler, but still) I’m at least hoping that the block might get fixed, but yeah can’t really say anything beyond that here.
