>Hamazura is still in the Tower at the end of the volumeI'll be very disappointed if he doesn't run into Acqua on the way out, need the WW3 bros reunion (Digurv can come too)
>>291128027>Haimura's thus-far-unused GT of IndexCan someone post it? I don’t remember what it looks like.
>>291133124Actually looking at it most of these designs are still unused.
>>291133226Only Touma (and Accel) had the decency to wear different clothes in GT.
>>291133316Hell, Mugino and Kinuhata barely even bothered to fucking show up at all lol.
>>291133045>inb4 they run into Biagio
>>291133640Those two must be in the dark side strip club for how absent they are currently.
>>291127228My first guess is that it's something about redirecting sparks, like Aleister was doing with his possibilities. Now why does he know how to do that within his first two minutes of using magic? Probably has something to do with being an esper (magic recoil might be a built-in form of spark containment to begin with), as well as the big puddle of demon cum he's still standing in.
>>291134165Mugino went back to cooking shit she won't eat and Kinuhata's eatin it all since Takitsubo's never home, hoping the fat will go to her tits but it won't.We getting chubby cuddly Kinuhata in GT22R
>>291132858Cool
>>291133045>>291133940If Lidvia and Biagio show up ever since, OT14(?), I am going to be surprised.
>>291132858Aleister Kingsford vs Reflex feels like nuke vs Godzilla in how one sided it is.
>>291133640>Hell, Mugino and Kinuhata barely even bothered to fucking show up at all lol.I suspect they are in France right now. It seems really fucking weird that Takitsubo tried to sneak into England alone... to do what exactly? Her powers and skillset are not exactly suited for an assault on a prison. I'm guessing Takitsubo went on ahead rather openly hoping to negotiate with Mugino in reserve as the big stick in case that failed. ITEM vs the Magic side may make powerscalers scoff but ITEM conducting a tightly planned raid is a whole nother story. ITEM is on the backfoot right now with one member held hostage, another member in prison having a magical panic attack but I'd guess they know where Hamezura is and at least got a tracker / listening device on Takitsubo.Or maybe Kamachi just forgot about them again, who knows.
If Kamachi wants to take advantage of the promotion from ITEM anime, he might want to release GT17 in December or January But the current Kamachi is not as strong as OT Kamachi so I'm not sure if he could write one volume in 3 months
>>291135439More like hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby. This is Aleister after all sorts of buffs, while I seriously doubt any of The Girls can deal even with his XX_Beast_666_Dominator_XX version.
>>291133640If Kamachi wanted to surprise me and promote the ITEM spin off he should have Mugino and Saiai follow Rikou. This is one of the few times where they have disappeared for a long time with no explanation. So it's odd that their friends haven't done shit
>>291136071I’m saying Reflex is a nuke due to instantly summoning a false Roman god who was possibly as strong as Coronzon.>Thus this power must not be underestimated.>This demon used the ancient deity’s name despite having no connection to Roman mythology. To challenge False Jupiter Optimus Maximus was to battle a demon lord. That meant to regather all of the power that had come together to defeat Great Demon Coronzon. And if you couldn’t manage that, then your death was guaranteed. 100% guaranteed.It’s just that Aleister was in Kingsford’s body that makes it a complete stomp in his favor.
who else is held in the britbong rape basement?
>>291136029>>291136197He's already taking advantage of the promo window by publishing ITEM7 on the same day the anime airs though.
>>291136256To be fair, she might be jacking herself off a bit. One poke from Touma and it probably explodes.
>>291136934Anon. The narration said it, not Reflex.
>>291136976How many times have we seen the "narration" colored by the character? I always think back to when it stated only one person in the world could stop Accel when his black wings were rampaging and there were already at least 4 introduced at that point.
Took a look back at NT22 to refresh my memory on Coronzon teaching Hamazura magic (he did explicitly learn the whole breathing thing, but him knowing about magic names seems to be new information). Anyway, spotted this Between the Lines bit along the way:>Also, when Robert William Felkin was traveling across Europe in search of the Secret Chiefs, he met a professor whose adoptive daughter claimed to be Anna Sprengel’s niece. Of course, that did not mean that this adoptive daughter was who she claimed to be. There was nothing but her word to go on there.I wonder if this "niece" is going to come up at some point in the story, since both Horos and Kingsford did end up appearing after they were mentioned in this same section.
>A dragon was the ruins of a corrupted angel. So what does this mean for Aiwass
>It was pressing in on her like a ripple. A danger signal that only she could recognize.So, Hamazura is already dying, huh?
>>291137127Also Touma and his menagerie of dragons
>>291137072>the "narration" colored by the characterWhat are you even talking about? Do you mean having an unreliable narrator? Problem. The text is clearly showing and exclaiming how strong the false Roman god is, before Aleister one shots it. This is how people still think Othinus is a top 5 strongest character despite all the evidence showing otherwise.
>>291137072I'm convinced Kamachi lets the carefully cultivated remnant of his juvenile chuuni spirit take the wheel whenever he needs to gas up powerlevels in the narration. None of that shit has ever remotely made sense if you take it at face value, it just sounds extremely cool in the moment.
>>291137623So like every battle series ever?
>>291132858Saw a dumbass say on a certain garbage orange and white site that said that Aleister being in Kingsford’s body was “an asspull”. Kingsford just gave Aleister her ticket to leave like what she did for Touma by basically giving him Johann’s ticket.>Couldn’t Anna Kingsford crawl back from hell alive on her own if she wanted to? If she were only willing to trample on others and turn a blind eye to the damage it caused the world?>But that was a line Kingsford was not willing to cross.>So she did not hesitate to hand the opportunity to whoever needed it most.
Will Hamazura incite a prison break?
>>291137105I still don’t know what the deal with Horos is. How did she take over Spengel and what were her connections?
When will this ln end? I just want touman matepressing misaki, roll the credits
>>291137396And the narration will claim how strong or some other perception of X character, and then come to find out isn't actually because the narration is based on the character. Like, who the fuck actually believes Touma is a normal high school boy you can find anywhere besides Touma?
>>291139557I always interpreted that as Touma using IB is ordinary in comparison to him using his power. In the few times he uses the dragons, he loses the “ordinary” adjective.
>>291132858Oh my God is big Othinus back? The last volume I read was against the old man magic god
>>291139728The boy legitimately believes what he does is normal because his body is kind of human when he does it. Normal high school boys do not beat gods in a war of attrition. He's nuts and I don't recall other times the narration calls him normal if he's not the focus.
>>291139788Then it’s best to get back to reading cause you are incorrect.
>>291137623It just makes things more interesting and engaging. Is Touma actually unstoppable as the dragon king, or is it just gas to hype up the moment further? Who knows, but it's definitely cool after 20 years of build up.
>>291140179I mean, considering Johann thinks that running away to wait out the time limit was the only way to beat him, the MGs saying that a serious Touma is more dangerous than a serious Alice in GT12, and that the dragon king is the only mystery that can rival adult Alice (who was constantly said and implied to be the strongest antagonist). Pretty sure that dragon king Touma is likely at that unstoppable tier.
I'm gonna calle it now. Prepare for Index upscale. When we get to the last of the Indexes which is stronger that whatever versión of Aleister and Alice is gonna be reveled that aschtually Index potential far surpass the rest of the Indexes combined and even the same Corozon so much that she feared her what she could become. That Is the reason for the memory wiping and barely education. Also Pendex Is actually a seal of sorts. Touma unknowingly has been squandering Index potential spoiling her so much but that have been for the better
>>291140825>Touma unknowingly has been squandering Index potential spoiling her so much but that have been for the bettertouma is smartthe smartest i'd say
>>291140591He did get his head blown off with a one time (per summon?) heal. Kamachi will probably put an asterisk next to it regarding if he knows what he's doing. Otherwise he'll unironically have a win button.
>>291141321Luckily for everyone, Touma will only use it if there is no other option. If no one could do anything to help, if the opponent can’t be reasoned with, and if he has enough blood in his body, then he’ll use the dragon king.
>>291132858Are they in the Book of Mormon or still in Bhagabaghgiita?
>>291134261Mugino is probably releasing all her sexual interests onto Kinuhata like she would to Takitsubo and Frenda.
>>291140825>>291141195>“Does flipping through a recipe book make you a chef? You are a library, a collection of book knowledge, while this old man is steeped from head to toe in real knowledge and skill. We may be drawing on the same wisdom, but there is a vast gulf between what we can actually use. Hee hee ha ha ha. Did you think your lines of text on paper could outdo what this old man truly performs!?”This is what CRC says in GT9, they have the same knowledge but CRC is just better at using it due to being a magic expert. She even managed to, temporarily, divert his aim.>She had only diverted his aim by the smallest amount this time.
Oh fuck, it just hit me why Hamazura specifically has to be the one raging against the SYSTEM. Clearly this is all a setup for the natural next step in his evolution: "That was too easy, Level 6".
Now that I think about it, when was “the end of century emperor” title for Hamazura called out? I’m guessing Accel’s title of “One Who Wields the Power of God” came from OT15, while Touma’s is OT1.
>>291138913In the final novel that’s coming out in 2047, Touma will fuck and mating press everyone in his harem.
My daughter Misaki will win everything
>>291141837You posted on the wrong the wrong thread anon.
>>291143456What's funny is he's straight up telling her that he's not using anything new up to that point. Cheeky as fuck really.
>>291143456>>291146481That's the point. For all Index talent and knowledge she does jack shit with It and none bothered or wanted give her some kind of training. We have hints here and there how much talented she Is and how much Is wasted.
>>291132858Will I be able to watch the upcoming ITEM anime without having seen any of the previous stuff or will it be incomprehensible?
>>291147330She's a repository. They don't want her to fight.
>>291147330To be fair, she basically was treated like shit, was forced to not fight or use magic, and gets her mind erased every year.>>291147460It takes place a year before the main series starts, but you need to at least read through all of OT, aka first 3 seasons but those aren’t really good adaptations of the novels. Main reason is because Item keeps getting hinting of an event that occurs in OT.
Eagerly waiting for French Index
>>291148134The only one of the girls who gets threatened to be eaten by the rest of them.
>>291139788Technically she showed up in a noncanon crossover short story with another one of Kamachi’s series to advertise it.
How will Aleister job in Kingsford's body?We know he willJust not how
>>291149289His victory chances from pure powerlevel perspective approach 100%. But numbers are meaningless.
>>291149289>>291149324Only Kamachi knows.
>>291149289>How will Aleister job in Kingsford's body?Guess whose back, back again?
>>291143833>>291150134Hamazura vs Motoharu has to occur. Two blond haired delinquents, one was a magician who became an esper and one was the other way around.
>>291132858Wait so Aleister now has the body that makes Touma's dick tingle? He tried it with Lola and it didn't work so he went for the ultimate final solution? Damn, what are the implications here?
>>291149289It was already stated he isn't a perfect copy. That is already a decent size Chekov. I expect him fucking up and the narration mentioning the real Kingsford wouldn't have had that issue.
>>291147460It's a prequel, so there's no prerequisite series to watch or read in order to understand the main plot. You would be heavily rewarded for doing so though, since there's some very heavy foreshadowing for events in late OT, and knowing about that will give you some seriously major clues regarding what's actually going on behind the scenes.But in the end, who knows? Maybe ITEM itself will reach that later point and become a nice complete package. Maybe like with Railgun people will eventually start arguing about which watch order leads to a more interesting experience. There's no real harm in starting with ITEM, but just remember that it is a spinoff, and that it's only a small niche taste of a much wider franchise and world.
>>291151074He'd destroy her in his regular body three buffs ago. The only way I see it going down where Reflex gets out of this or even wins is he actively tries not to murder hobo and it throws him off.
>>291140825I wonder if there'll be an Index sister with a skill that can undo Index's limitations, allowing her to use magic normally. Lola made them all, so it's not unfeasible that some of that setup magic could've been installed into one of The Girls. If unlocking Index isn't allowed, maybe all of The Girls will have to be gathered together and combine their skills to save the universe or something. Index's encyclopedic knowledge, Narthex's spell sealing, Reflex's infinite chant scaling, and whoever shows up next - all sounds like useful shit for doing some serious deus ex magica.Will this be the actual plot of GT22?
>>291144346NT1, I think.
>>291150948Kingsford gave her body to Aleister, this was all her plan.
Yeah, Touma is sitting out of GT17
>>291150948any kind of seduction would fall flat the moment Touma becomes aware of Aleister
>>291133226I know that Mikoto's left arm and leg just have some darker shade on them but every time I see this. I keep thinking that she will lose her right arm and leg and they will be replace with a robot arm and leg.
>>291138911We still have no idea how she pull this off
>>291133226>Index design is just adding a long red cloth over her shoulder
>>291151396All the Indexes are 100% going to be use to fight back against something, by putting all there power together. The very fact they are all showing up after the big halfway climax of GT GT 8-GT 10/GT 11 of GT, and in the latter half of the middle part of GT which the middle part is GT 11/GT12-GT 18/GT 19.They are all showing up in the latter half of the middle part of GT which would around GT 15-GT 18/GT 19 and before the big climax of GT which will likely be around GT 19/GT20-GT 22/?.
>>291152658Alice will make them all become one super Index because of her bridge connecting power.From GT 15:She could notice that a paint set on sale had 12 colors, associate that with the 12 numbers on a clock, and with nothing more than that gain a complete control over time. Except it wouldn’t just apply to Alice herself. The moment she decided that was true, all the paint in the world would gain the same power.So Alice pulling off something like they are all Indexes so they are all the same person is something she could in theory make happen.I don't know if Kamachi would do that ever because it could make Index truly useful. I cannot even think of the completely hopeless scenario that would get all these Indexes which all have different goal and different way they look at stuff to not only agreed, but to be OK to go this far
