LOL.

I literally laugh at the apart where Carissa motivated her knights by lying that the enemy were going to **** her while the knight leader is on the phone to see if he can get the queen's permission to spank her daughter.

HA HA HA.

Worth It.

[BladeMancer]

Real shit, this was fucking great.

[FlareKnight]

We've long reached the point where Touma needs to stop throwing around nonsense like being an average level 0. Because apparently he has the super power to dig through avalanches and endure supernatural clean hits to the face that would kill a real average person. Nothing about you is normal Touma.

I suppose you could say Touma is like a natural disaster. A punch storm that will stumble into your storyline and then punch you in the face.

Then you have Hamazura who's super power is plot armor . Oh look it is a traveling super powered guy that can help save the day while he's in the neighborhood . Good fun though. Was a great laugh when Acqua just happened to show up out of nowhere.

[Ichinotachi]

Oh yeah one punch touma, as always beating everyone because of his massive plot armor. Accel wasn't really trying either but at least Touma punched some sense into him.

[Chosen_Hero]

Hamazura has a literal Demi god fall from the skies to help him, yet somehow Touma is still the one being called out to have plot armor because he beat Accelerator a for second time... I don't even...

[rladls2121]

Touma and Acqua being the heroes of the Magic Side, I guess Accelerator and Shiage from the Science Side might become one later.

[faiz blaster]

I cannot believe that they screwed the animation for this episode! Specially that rematch! Seriously, if it wasn't for the good acting of the seiyuu, this would been too painful to even watch!

[WiliamZ0]

That rematch is nothing but insult to me. The voice however fixed it. Well, it work as long i not see the animation

[milan kyuubi]

So I get that Misaka is going. But I can't figure out if Kuroko will join her....

Nope, Touma isn't on any side but his own. As for Accelerator and (to a far far far lesser extent) Hamazura they are being hunted down by AC.

As for the term "hero" in the Raildex-verse isn't what you or some of the fanbase seem to think it means.

Oh boy, you have seen nothing if that bothers you and you plan to stay in this franchise but we will see you in the Season 4...in a decade or so.

The only good thing about this episode is the voice acting. Now every anime-only viewer is gonna go "PLOT ARMOR REEEEEE~!" on Touma even though he supposedly won because of his skills. The only thing that can salvage this adaptation now is if they somehow manage to NOT fuck up Touma vs Fiamma and the finale.

[faiz blaster]

I still have some sliver of hope that they will fix this in the DVD/Blue-Ray version. Then again, it seems I haven't heard anything about what the first one looks like yet, so....

They would be going "PLOT ARMOR REEEEEE~!" even if it was a perfect adaption of the LN's since Touma is the picture beside plot armor in the dictionary.

[LG-MAX 2.o]

This episode was so ridiculous that it was incredibly fun. Bravo JC Staff.

I kinda feel like the Opening should've replaced Accelerator fighting Misaka Worst with Touma and Accelerator's rematch because this felt like an actual fight to get hyped over (although maybe they didn't want to spoil it, not that that's stopped Opening's before). I honestly got goose bumps when Touma said Accelerator's name and he turned around to see Touma .

I love how Accelerator is in his strongest state and Touma still punches him out .

Who needs labels like "good" or "bad," or "hero" or "villain," if it's about saving someone important to you and who needs help, maybe that's all that matters .

That's...certainly one way to inspire the troops Carissa. Can't blame Knight Leader for not caring for it though .

Shiage getting involved in guerilla warfare seems oddly fitting, but Acqua turning up was surprising. What a duo these two might make .

I like how the instant Mikoto sees that Touma is in the middle of all this she immediately sets out to go help him. It doesn't matter if it's WWIII and she's heading into a warzone, she's a Level 5 in love .

Lessar was staring...really intently at Touma at the end there. It didn't seem like normal, focused, staring either. She seemed like she was starring at him because she was really into him at that moment. Maybe Touma's speechifying and beating himself up is a big turn-on for her ?

Would you believe that the fight in the LN is even more badass but shorter?

Spoiler for LN version:

In the LN Touma manhandles Accelerator to the point that, if I remember correctly, Accelerator barely even touches him. Also, Touma punches Accelerator so hard he causes a shockwave.

That moment with Misaka not hesitating to go to Russia to find Touma is great.

As for Lessar:

Spoiler for LN version:

In the LN she literally gets wet at the sight of Touma punching Accelerator. She also tries and fails to fuck Touma in the back of a truck.

This is bugging my mind now, but is the act of Imagine Breaker nullifying things only visible and audible to us viewers?

Yes, it's only for the audience.
