Touma got his Badass stat increased by over 9000.
Awesome ep, bit emo true, but it gives possibility for so much plot lines(fighting, running, love, random mages encounters, or some kind of plot twist). Look how he changed from well, failure to such badass - taking hits from Mikoto, Fighting Aureolus Izzard(only i think that it sounds like Wizzard?) etc.
