Will they announce Aihana Etsu's VA for ITEM anime?
Yeah yeah the voice will be modified but surely someone has to be credited as their voice

It gonna be multiple people speaking at once to sound echoey and unrecognizable as any gender.

What pose is this dude doing?
>>
>>287622390
I was wondering as to how broad Aki Toyosaki's vocal range is. Her Uiharu/Yunyun voice is right on the high end, and a role like Altair from Re:Creators is a lot deeper. She's got some good range, but her squeaky voice is much more common. If Uihana is confirmed and Aki has to voice both roles, then she could definitely pull off a much deeper Aihana voice that can be distorted to more or less the point of unrecognisability.
It's uncertain if Nagai wants to do that or just mash some random voices together for the distorted voice. Japanese anime detectives will figure out the voice pretty quickly if it is Aki Toyosaki and blow the whole charade.
Whether the Aihana mystery survives a single animated scene is very much up in the air.

I wonder if Saten ever flipper her skirt while Aihana was in control
>>
>>287624481
Aihana is never in control when the flowers are on her head. I don't think there's really been an instance when she was wearing a skirt but not the flowers, let alone with Saten present. Aihana doesn't really give a shit about Saten, but recognises her importance to the Uiharu side. Aihana wouldn't want to be in Aihana mode with Saten around.

Skirt flips reboot the Uiharu side of the brain. She pauses with a buffer wheel in her brain every time it happens.
The cheek pinch in Jailbreaker instantly curbed Uiharu's RSPK Syndrome and rebooted her a bit. Saten was in no state to be flipping, but pinching was apparently also effective.
>>
What if Uiharu actually know about Aihana?
She was shown multiple times to not care about breaking the law if it was to help people so I could see Aihana revealing herself to Uiharu and form a team so her plans can go on regardless of who control the body.
>>
>>287625298
But that would make it hard to believe the anime original arc of Railgun S1
Regardless of what you think, Kamachi always tries to make Nagai filler canon to the narrative (or at least as close to canon as it could possibly be)

You're not wrong in principle, but that doesn't mean that it can't be handwaived as something that still happened however unlikely it is.

>>287624399
At this point, Aihana is more or less confirmed to be a level-5 precog of some form. Academy City was definitely using them to extract future predictions to advance their own plans. As Aihana reached level-5, their precog became more farsighted and advanced, and they learned that the world was utterly fucked if shit was going to continue further the way it is, and Aihana was the only one who could see it. Academy City wasn't going to listen, and only wanted the selfish shortsighted win of controlling them, so Aihana went rogue and, knowing that nobody can be trusted, scrubbed their identity from every database in AC (except Reading Thoth 78). Aleister knows who Aihana is, and maybe Shokuhou, but that's probably it.
Aihana has basically been putting in the legwork behind the scenes setting shit up to ensure that the world doesn't prematurely implode. A lot of Index's happy endings were assisted by Aihana in some way, especially those involving Hamazura, since it's implied in ITEM that Aihana was already laying the groundwork last year for him to become the third hero.
Aihana's precog tells them what's going to happen under what conditions, and they use that information to elevate people into heroes who act according to what will ensure the good timeline happens.
>>
>>287625952
At this point Aihana is an unofficial protagonist
>>
>>287625810
In Railgun S1, Uiharu turned into a whiny crybaby whenever anyone thought that Haruue was causing the poltergeist incidents, which as it turned out she was. She had quite a few woman moments over it to the point that Kuroko had to bitchslap her ass.
Overall it's quite an outlier from the rest of her character moments. It's an odd period of irrationality for her. It's rather un-Uiharu, and extremely un-Aihana.
>>287625298
>>287625507
Uiharu's whiny freakouts in this arc indicate that Aihana had better shit to be doing than reassuring her that her new roommate is not evil or some shit.
Either Uiharu was still completely unaware of Aihana's existence (and therefore her bullshit was just regular 12yo girl bullshit), or she was not on good terms with Aihana at that time (being forced to share a body will do that to anyone). Taking on a new roommate in Haruue might be in response to some falling out with her original "roommate" (Aihana). There's also the possibility that she only recently discovered that she's a schizo mind partition and not a real person, leading to a shit ton of stress and existential crises at that time. Who knows.
I'm definitely overthinking Nagaispace here.
>>
>>287626164
Aihana just staples themselves on to a picture with all the protags.
>>
>>287626187
Since it's anime original content Kamachi can just ignore those freakouts. It's not like they were important.
>>
>>287623095
There's mountains more evidence that it's Aogami, but it's probably not him either. With this time fuckery Kamachi can do just about whatever he wants.
>>
>>287627274
Yea, as far as I know the filler is "loose canon" in that they happened but not as it happened in the anime. Mainly because Kongou filler breaks the timeline by her even being there, and Study literally making no sense without a mass mindwipe ala Misaki. So Big Spider happened, Haruue exists in universe and got her own small cameo illustration, but it probably didnt go as was shown in the anime
>>
>>287627505
>There's mountains more evidence that it's Aogami
I mean, Aogami is taller than Touma and Aihana is supposedly tiny according to Touma. I guess it could be illusion shit though
>>
>>287627723
Being nearly 6 ft in a city full of Japanese kids would really narrow it down.
>>
It’d be funny if they have both Uiharu and Aogami’s voice actors talk at the same time to voice Aihana.
>>
50/50 chance that Gunha might appear in the Item novels.
>>
But what happen after the identity is revealed? Aihana is no longer in the shadow and she/he start being part of the main cast? That would kinda ruin the character
>>
>>287629383
They'll share a volume with something else for the reveal and a few cameos. Being the enemy of an entity that has basically been liquidated and support type during a time where the power levels are this crazy won't lend itself to a lot of appearances. Especially when the most useful guy to buff will tell them to fuck off.
>>
>>287629383
The reveal will be at the end of whatever novel Touma next punches Aihana in, where they have another clash if ideals and Aihana is the main opponent of the novel.
The following arc will feature Touma having to "domesticate" a beaten but still cranky Aihana (with shit tons of fanservice), who will eventually be turned into a begrudging ally. In the following novel there'll be a character deep dive where the root of Aihana's motivations will be revealed and they have a bit of a heart to heart with Touma and accidentally catch some Kami-yan disease.
This is the law. This happens with every bitch Touma punches. Why would Kamachi change his million dollar formula now?
>>
>>287629924
Now I want the Uiharu/Aihana theory to be real just to see the reaction to her being in the harem.
>>
>>287630494
It would just be shock from Misaka
>>
>>287630494
If they're actually a split personality there'd be a lot of fun to be had from Aihana being forced to interact with Uiharu's friends while in Aihana mode. Imagine after the unmasking Aihana and Touma are forced to work together in the next arc to fix some big shit, but Mikoto is naturally going to be forced into the novel, so Aihana has to act natural, all the while Touma doesn't even know Uiharu so Aihana has to juggle Touma talking to Aihana and Mikoto trying to talk to Uiharu simultaneously, while bitching at Touma to make sure his fat mouth doesn't spill too many beans. Then Mikoto gets jealous because "Uiharu" is behaving all flustered in Touma's presence and looking like she's about to steal Mikoto role as "resident tsundere" when Aihana is just getting pissed off and is forced to keep her temper within Uiharu levels while Mikoto is snooping into why "Uiharu" knows Touma. Then after more bullshit, Aihana crashes out at Mikoto with honest Aihana feelings (Aihana probably can't stand the other level-5s). Mikoto is thrown off guard thinking she somehow hurt Uiharu's feelings and starts thinking that what if Uiharu never really liked her and was just keeping quiet. Later, once the arc is over Mikoto pulls an event with the girls to say sorry to Uiharu and Uiharu has no fucking clue what's going on because Aihana was up front that entire time and Uiharu was never even "there".

The peak writes itself.
>>
>>287631408
>Uiharu has no fucking clue what's going on because Aihana was up front that entire time and Uiharu was never even "there"
Alternative funny version could be the other personality not being dormant so during all of this Uiharu is just mentally screaming while Aihana fuck up everything.
>I have no mouth and I must scream

Raildex needs newblood fans. Will the new Item anime attract the Tiktok generation?

>>287631627

>>287631559
Uiharu seems pretty innocent about a lot of shit so I doubt she's generally conscious when Aihana's in charge and up to nasty Dark Side's Bane shit. Aihana as the original mind might have some general awareness when Uiharu's awake, for instance so she knows when a good time to switch would be. Uiharu might just be Aihana's autopilot, really.

Aihana's got it way worse here though. She wishes she could just switch over to Uiharu and let her deal with Mikoto but the nature of the dire situation they're in requires Aihana to be present to keep precogging, but Imagine Breaker's interference keeps causing Touma to be a big fat blind spot in Aihana's predictions (this seems reasonable, since Aihana wasn't expecting to lose in GT2. Aihana foreseeing Touma's death makes sense because it's literally an absence of him so no IB to interfere), leading to funny Touma situations she can't fucking deal with because it's the one thing she can't prep for. When she gets embarrassed like hell, she can't hide by cloaking or use any blatant level-5 power because Mikoto's there so she has to rawdog the ignominy the whole time.

Luckily for Aihana I think she might be able to get away with it. If Mikoto's dumb enough to not figure out that magic exists by this point, then I think that she won't be figuring out who the number 6 is any time soon.

Shokuhou probably knows though (she correctly identified a fake Aihana in NT7, and she's also been inside Uiharu's head before. Hell, she might have personally helped Aihana by eliminating witness memories). If Shokuhou is also present for this sequence, then she can simultaneously fuck with both Mikoto and Aihana at the same time, constantly ragebaiting Mikoto the normal way and Aihana by teetering close to revealing something with her wording. Aihana is going to be fucking traumatised if she manages to make it out of that with her psyche intact. She'll leave Uiharu to her own devices and take a few days off to mentally recover.
>>
I will only stomach this Hamazura arc if I get to see Birdway calls Touma “onii-chan”
>>
I know that this isn’t true, but it’d be funny if Aihana wasn’t using their power to make themselves look like a black silhouette, and was just wearing a black skinsuit.
>>287632108
Aihana allowing Misaki in their mind and threatening to do the most ecchi stuff imaginable to her if she keeps messing with them.

Turn out Uiharu's fascination with young rich girls is actually lust, she will be the one doing the raping
>>
>>287633020
Chances are it was something external rather than Aihana's power. Otherwise either Touma touching his own head or him clocking the fuck out of Aihana would have dispelled it.
>>
>>287631627
Not really. Index's main problem is that it has been incredibly slow to adapt anything to visual media. Not many new people watching ITEM will be easily onboarded into a series that is 75% light novels. When it comes to the main series, 2/3rds of the anime content was aired between late 2008 and early 2011, then a long wait to a faulty season 3 and then nothing with nothing on the horizon. Even sadder still, the manga has been running since 2007 and has not even caught up to the anime.
There is no momentum in adapting Index. Outside of Railgun spinoffs it is basically a dead franchise visually and Railgun ended. If they want to jump start Index, ITEM alone won't do it, they need to start adapting main series shit fast if they want it to be popular outside of books.

>Saint Valentine (Italian: Valentino; Latin: Valentinus) was a 3rd-century Roman saint, commemorated in Western Christianity on February 14 and in Eastern Orthodoxy on July 6. From the High Middle Ages, his feast day has been associated with a tradition of courtly love. He is also a patron saint of Terni, epilepsy, and beekeepers. Saint Valentine was a clergyman – either a priest or a bishop – in the Roman Empire who ministered to persecuted Christians. He was martyred and his body buried on the Via Flaminia on February 14, which has been observed as the Feast of Saint Valentine (Saint Valentine's Day) since at least the eighth century
why do I feel like the eventual Valentine arc will be all about this guy instead of the romcom I am dreaming about?

>This month’s data limit was being rapidly chewed through in order to display Tsukuyomi Komoe, a 135cm and pink-haired teacher who was full of mysteries.

Do you think anime Kongou ever thinks about all the people on those helicopters who died when she rammed a truck into them at high speed? I mean if she wasn't there, Misaka and Kuroko probably would have defeated them through a combination of teleportation and magnetism that would have left them alive but because it was Kongou, somewhere between 4 and 30 people are dead in the wreckage.
I mean she did it to save her friends but do you think the MAR guys in that chopper even know they were the bad guys? From their perspective they were trying to stop that poltergeist disaster from happening. Pretty grim situation.

[For some reason, the #6’s voice had changed slightly here.
Almost like they were recalling a history of repeated failure.
“If you keep going like this, you will surely die. Whether you rush to the battlefield or you
curl up here, you will not last long. No matter what you choose, the villain will have the
last laugh. Your destruction has been predetermined here.”]
Aihana's level-5 precog showed them that every single branching future going forward led to Touma dying and the world being doomed without him. Aihana's ability cannot observe Touma's future directly due to IB's interference, so they have to watch the future timelines surrounding him to figure out what's going on. When Touma's dead in every future, that's easy to do.
Aihana knew that shit was going to be absolutely fucked if Touma died, and every single possible future that Aihana foresaw led to Touma dying. Therefore, in desperation, Aihana's only option was to go for the only future their power WASN'T able to see - ie meeting Touma directly and offering the #6's power.
This is the absolute last thing that Aihana wanted to be doing. They'd much rather set up some other hero to fix shit, or build a convoluted fate rube goldberg machine that ensures shit will be sorted out in the end. It was a last ditch hail mary that Aihana hated every single second of.
Aihana was massively out of their element here. It's the one scenario where they doesn't know for certain how to win, and that terrified the fuck out of them. Aihana hates Touma because his winging it mentally (opposite to Aihana's) keeps working, and IB punches a Touma-sized hole in Aihana's precog that prevents it from being complete and infallible.
Touma trusts his gut 100%. Aihana trusts their planning 100%. They're incompatible opposites. The very existence of the other's mindset that they foolishly over-rely on pisses them both off.
