Revenge of the side chicks. This one should be good.

The cute "I've never been angry" scene was actually foreshadowing.

Isn't it wonderful when an anime is actually understandable?!
(And doesn't waste time on elementary schooler power explanations... so far)

Yeeeeeeeeeeesssss!!!!!
This is the excitement I have been waiting for!
It does not need any Level 5 vs Level 5 or Saint vs Saint to feel the excitement.

Kongou for underrated MVP! It's nice to see Mikoto's other friends at Tokiwadai figure out something is going on and come to her aid. Kongou and Misaka may have gotten off to a rocky start at the very beginning, but Kongou's proven to be a true reliable and steadfast friend in her own right .

It's also just really nice seeing Kongou in the spotlight .

I wasn't expecting one of Misaki's girl posse to also be into Gekota like Mikoto. Watching them both geek out over it like fangirls was pretty fun. I wonder if Misaki planned this or if it was just a complete coincidence ?

Somehow I get the feeling Mikoto having a "twin sister" is going to get blown out of proportion the more people know about it...

I love how the girl who can basically talks to animals looks like an animal herself .

I genuinely wonder if these girls are acting on Misaki's orders, have been mentally conditioned to act the way they are, or are just that concerned enough to stick to Mikoto like glue .

As much as I want to see Misaki's face punched in, I'm equally as curious to know what she's getting out of all this. The Opening makes it seem like they will be addressing her backstory at some point here .

"I can just pay for whatever I destroy!" That's an interesting way of rationalizing destruction of property .

Man, that guy is a real slimeball. I can't wait to see the girls stuff his face in .

Great Detective Kongou FTW.

[Random Wanderer]

Reading this segment in the manga really raised my opinion of Kongou, and I already kind of liked her.

[Dextro]

Kongou was a truly best broette to Misaka there. The way she wrecked that comm dish was fan-freaking-tastic! She's quickly rising up to my top of characters in this show.

I'd read that spinoff in a minute .

[SilverGlavenus]

That son of a b**** deserves a first class beatdown.

That said, Kongou is truly the best "bro".

[FlareKnight]

Kongo definitely has a rich perspective on property damage. All good since she can pay for it later .

Still, she was definitely the MVP in this episode. Showing both what a great friend she is and how smart she is. Easy to treat her as being utterly silly. But she does think things through here. And even showed her good qualities getting hurt in order to protect the cat.

They definitely made the right move using that track for the end of this episode. That song is just perfect no matter what season they use it in. Nice touch as well focusing on the steadily rising rage levels in the water. This piece of trash deserves everything coming his way!

[Wandering Soul]

So far Kongou definitely the MVP of this arc and I imagine this episode won over anyone that was on the fence about her.

The fact that one of Misaki's girls is a fan of Gekota and that she actually got Misaka to lower her guard is sort of funny. You have to wonder if she planned that or it was just a happy coincidence.

Misaki planned that because she'd need to distract Mikoto somehow. As for Kongou one good deed doesn't change the fact she's a very annoying character then again people do that all the time with female characters

[Tenzen12]

Kuroko is annoying character, Kongo is perfect in every way. Both are good characters though
