    So what is this "potential" doing just sitting around at school? Potential needs to be realised, or else it's called wasted potential. Or are you suggesting that they're all kids at school learning to develop their powers, so their "profit" is measured by their projected contribution to Academy city when they graduate?

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Mikoto is a middle schooler. I'm pretty sure middle school is still obligatory in Japan, even if high school is not. She's also a rich kid, so I imagine Misuzu will want her to continue to high school as well, and likely university after that. So, she's not really there to automatically profit anybody - aside from cloning her.

    Meltdowner, however, is mercenary, so one could say she's being exploited already for what little she's worth.

    Meltdowner power would be awesome in destruction work (buildings for example?), escavating, drilling, and so on.
    Since she trully vaporises the matter, rather than just displacing it, that would save even more ressources.

    But Mikoto's power is a lot more versatile as she can use it from fine manipulations like server hacking to moving tons of metal scrapes, weapons, walking on walls and so on. Her range of possible is clearly vastly superior to what Meltdowner showed us.
    Ya, that was my point...

    I mean the potential for Electricity manipulation, not the potential for Mikoto herself. The whole point of Academy city is to develop esper abilities into their own useable tools. That's the cover up at least.

    Touma isn't regarded very highly in Kuroko's mind... But at least the unassuming clones always treat him fairly.

    You'd think the vending machine had a phone number where you could call in case they malfunction. Especially in Japan, the promised land of vending machines where even cars have been (even if half-jokingly) sold in vending machines. I have lost a 2 euros coin and didn't bother to call the number, but if the automat had eaten 20 euros (since there are no 15 euros bills to better match Touma's loss), I most certainly would have used my phone. Or an iron pipe.

    Yeah, that didn't come back to bite her in the ass at all.

    It wasn't exactly like the Index version but it remained faithful enough, i really like to rewatch these scenes where the moments interline between the 2 shows. It'll also be pretty awesome to get to watch Touma vs Accelerator again.

    He doesn't seem to remember the fights he had with her at all so I take it this is after he had lost his memories.

    You take it? Did you even watch Index?

    Yes, but a long time ago. Plus the timeline of the two shows always confuse me a bit so that's all there is to it.

    And so Mikoto found out the result of the little incident with Index...

    I personally find it a very cute aspect of Mikoto's personality how she always comes up with some grand plan that is sure to solve all of her problems - but in the end rarely turns out to work in practice.

    It's never really her fault though, there's just too many unknown variables around this whole thing.

    Yes, indeed, I'm not saying it would have ever been blatantly her fault as such. But it's just cute that she always believes the grand plan will work for sure, only to find out reality is not as straightforward as it seemed when she was making the plan. Considering the nature of her problems, there's nothing cute about failing to solve them; that's not what I mean, either.

    I don't remember Index being as depressing as this.

    On the other hand, what would happen if you reverse blood flow in a human? You've got valves in your heart and veins that would resist the flow, and the veins themselves aren't built to withstand high pressure like arteries are... but I'd think you'd have to have the reverse flow go at an extremely fast rate to blow up a body like that.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    I'd guess that's the point the director is trying to make. Touma only knew about the clones' fate a little before the final showdown with Accelerator, but Mikoto has been agonized by it for a longer time. Since Index was from Touma's pov, this is an understandable difference. However, I have to say they could have shortened this arc by a couple of eps. Nevertheless, the best parts are beginning in the next episode, so it's all good at this point.

    Besides, according to ANN, the director lamented this lack of light fluffy and promised such a filler arc just for you, Bill, immediately after this sisters arc finishes.
