What disturbs me is the fact that Touma seems to give less and less of a shit as time progresses. Whether this is a different phase or the city is actually being destroyed by giant elemental bugs, Touma really seems above this shit either way. I am also sure something shocking will happen this novel considering all the foreshadowing about Misaka.

I'm thinking it is something other than the world Touma knows and it actually will matter.

He'll probably either get back to his world just in time for crazy shit to happen or be unable to get back to his world, therefore making this world permenant to him.

It'd be interesting if only he is stuck in this world and gone from the one he knows, which still exists. That sounds like the work of world rejector.

>yfw touman wakes up from his dream at the end of NT16

I like the theory that Touma has been WRed

>>145295998
Yeah, it's obvious something big will happen to her. I almost believe she's straight up going to die. If it's not the world Touma knows, it wouldn't really matter if she did because Touma would likely get back to the real world. And probably be overprotective of her because of what happened in Element's world

>>145296415
Me too. Even if WR really is permanent, I'm sure Kamachi could find a way to continue to make Touma useful

>>145296415
It's supposed to send you to your perfect world. This seems...sorta shit.

>>145296680
Either Kamisato was full of shit and it sends you to a world full of shit where you can't have choices or Touma's perfect world is to save everyone from fuckhuge bugs and not worry about his attendance record.

>>145296680
Touma's a masochist. Othinus fucked up when she thought a happy world would satisfy him.

Man, Monday night/Tuseday morning spoilers are gonna make everyone lose their shit, aren't they

>>145296972
It is going to be a shit storm. That is certain. All that remains to be seen is what's going to cause it.

>>145296972
I'm already thinking up half-believable fake spoilers for when they start dropping in.

>>145297107
What if you end up being right? Jokes have come true before.

>>145297025
It's going to be over Touma and Mikoto as it always fucking is.

Watch it be something like

>confirmed dream/illusion/world distortion
>Mikoto dies after saying "I love you"
>Touma gets back to correct world and says "I will protect Mikoto" leaving a big cliffhanger
>endless shitflinging about whether or not was bullshit and whether or not it'll lead to a confirmed ship

>>145297471
I want to deny that but I know it is true. I can only hope the shipping shit flinging is only 70 percent of the shitstorm. I want to be able to enjoy this.

>>145295340
I would.

>>145297799

>>145295340
Doesn't this
>Could this be outside the real timeline?
>Is my life flashing before my eyes? Am I lying in bed and desperately thinking back over my most recent memories?
refer to his sense of time and most recent memories being all fucked up due to him almost dying and being resuscitated by Fukiyose at the beginning of the next chapter?

>>145298688
We don't have any fake spoilers yet. Illustration spoilers come out late Monday night/early Tuesday morning

>>145298699

Yeah. I'm not buying the dream/alternate world stuff.

>>145298699
Maybe.

But his choice of words is really suspect.

If he were just referring to being hazy due to resuscitation/injury, shouldn't have said something like "how long have I been out?"

>>145298762
Oh, I got excited because of this thread. Then I am believing my first impression, this prologue is just a simple flashback

>>145296754
I go with the idea that they're WR'd. It seems possible despite the apocalypses thing.
>>145296427

Kamachi would have to be an absolute madman.

I would love it even though it would be awful writing.

>>145299156
That would be worst kind of way to save the plot
Asspull thet not even blizzard writers could pull out

What if the "Mikoto dies" theory is true except it's not an alternate world at all?

How would you honestly react? Assume that we're given a good explaination as to why Aleister has let Element run wild

>>145299156
I would give it at least 5/10 just for the suicidal bravery alone, no matter how good or bad the execution would be.

>>145299457
Wouldn't make much sense. Mikoto is one of Kamachi's favorite characters according to interviews, and from a marketing perspective it'd be the worst thing to do considering the tanking sales.

I'd honestly just expect her to get brought back to life next volume.

If this all real then Kamachi better give a real good explanation on why things scalated this badly

>>145299559
The only explanation I can think of is that Crowley wanted this to happen for some reason.

I can't imagine this happening if he didn't want it to happen.

>>145299457
Fine with it. It would be a great change, and hopefully would open index's last arc. I want a decent ending to this series

>>145299590
I guess that's obvious. Keikaku man should have an endless number of ways to deal with shittier dark matter animal clones.
As for his reason I have no idea

>>145299559
The fact it's escalated this badly is precisely why people think it's some kind of alternate reality. It's impossible to explain it and it be good.

Even OT Academy City could handle swarms of Element

>>145299457
Considering this might be the beggining of the end for NT (considering the 24 volume of Index), it would be suicidal, in the character development department, after saying that he wanted to make her someone who wouldn't give up and always look forward, it would obliterate Railgun, it would have a very negative effect all around.

Unless it was a fakeout (remember how Touma died after Fiamma and was gone for the entirity of 90% of a volume?) it's not going to happen.

>>145299156
I would have mixed emotions about it, but if it did happen I would imagine Touma would truly hate somebody for the first time in his life. That could be fun.

>>145299590
What reason could he have for wanting it to happen? Hoping it would kill Yuiitsu maybe? Her having WR and it being confirmed to work on him might make think twice about killing her directly if he wanted her dead, even with all his power. Surely he wouldn't think this is a good idea to kill Mikoto?

>Crowley has allowed such a petty thing destroy his City

Every volume keeps making him more shit

>>145299590
Why the fuck would Crowley do some roundabout thing to kill Mikoto? He can literally teleport behind her like he did to that lab chick and kill her .

>>145299936
Try to understand him. He lost his family and he still hasn't received a punch from Touman.

>>145300046
We don't know if that's his intention. Hell the only thing we have to go on that he intends to kill Mikoto and Kamisato is that he told Yuuitsu that. He could easily have lied to her.

>>145299936
Laura keeps laughing at him and it's getting to his thought proccess

I think the heat is from Kamisato side, and Element is an attack to lure Mikoto out from Yuiitsu

>>145299457
>What if the "Mikoto dies" theory is true except it's not an alternate world at all?
From the perspective of writing alone, it would be a great move if her death was meaningful and brought some major development. It's a good moment to pull some serious shit and Mikoto suddenly dying would definitely be more interesting than some safe option like having Touma rescue her again.
From the perspective of shekels it's not happening, nip waifuautists would go batshit insane.

>How would you honestly react?
I'd commemorate Kamachi's death with the minute of silence, grab the popcorn and embrace the shitstorm.

>>145300320
I wonder how we'd be able to tell if Miki had strangled Kamachi in his sleep and started writing the series in his place.

>>145300320
>From the perspective of writing alone, it would be a great move if her death was meaningful and brought some major development.

I don't Kamachi has it in him. Neither the talent or the will.

Touma spent 3 volumes going against everything for Othinus, and Kamachi is just going to kill an extremely popular character that he also likes 2 volumes after talking about her development, with Touma as the MC here? It doesn't really matter how he does it, I don't see any way it's going to happen.

And why is everyone jumping straight to a death flag? AAA was a shit just got serious and there are consequences flag.

After everything that happened Touma has a greater chance of dying to the finale and even that isn't going to happen. No one is going to die.

>>145300601
If it's an alternate reality, anyone and everyone could die in the most brutal way possible and it wouldn't mean a damn thing if Touma can get back to his reality. So yes someone could die this volume

>>145300784

A heatwave and giant killer bugs.

>>145300046
Because obviously he doesn't want to kill Mikoto, just push the right buttons.

When he wanted a bunch of nigh-omnipotent beings gone, he just kicked down their door and fucked them up so badly, they had to run away to the realm of mortals with laughable fraction of their powers left, only to get rekt by a dog and a high school boy.

>>145300784

Which is why everyone is jumping the gun and suggesting alternate realities and stuff, because it doesn't make any sense that this hasn't been stopped before it reached this point.

Thank you based js06

You know, Crowley's been kinda chill about a lot of shit. Like God's Right Seat running amok in the city, Gensei trying to blow up the city with Nuit, Fiamma's fuckery in WW3, Othinus' shenanigans, etc.

But Biribiri uses AAA one time and he flips his shit and wants her dead. I don't see the big deal here.

By laying those out over the ground, the moisture evaporated from the dirt would supposedly gather on them as drops of water. However, the schoolyard was already dried and cracked. No one knew who owned those anymore, but someone had definitely traded a water bottle for one and then cried over being deceived.

>(I just hope Misaka wasn’t tricked too…)

He's a madman.

He's not even mentioning Salome's warning in his random thoughts about Mikoto. It's got to be some kind of alternate reality

Why does everyone want it to be an alternate reality? Tbis looks like someone pulling strings behind the stage, gotta be Yuuitsu trying to lure either Kamisato or Misaka.

>>145302441
Because it's as psychotic as the opening to NT 9 was, except there was no build-up to this.

>>145302312
Pretty much the only options now are "alternate reality" and "shit explanation that fucks over most of the series"

>>145302441
That doesn't fit. Aleister wouldn't allow it and even Yuiitsu could be concise

>>145301170
It's because Nuit is now CONFIRMED

>>145302441
the reason why people say its an alternate reality because of the random thoughts of Mikoto and how such a sudden change from last volume to post apolitical scenario not to mention in the prologue saying outside the real time line.

>>145302605
No it isn't

>>145300952
>As soon as he supported himself on her shoulder, a sweet aroma reached his nose. It was likely her hair or her sweat and it put an indescribable look on his face.

Alternate reality would be worse than whatever explanation kamachi has.

>>145302441
>>145302518
>>145302655
Also in the preview they mention outside the real timeline.

>>145302697
No it wouldn't because a shitty explaination would invalidate a lot of the series

>>145302697
I wouldn't like it because it'll throw into question all future plotlines if alternate realities start becoming a regular thing after NT 9, but I still think it'd be better than however else he could possibly justify this.

Plus at least alternate realities have been a thing up to this point, both with Magic Gods and WR, so it wouldn't be completely out of nowhere.

Timeline? I thought this was 3 days after Kamisato lost WR and Misaka finally snapping.

Reminder that one know-it-all anon who said everything in the summary would happen in a chapter and that Element wouldn't be a big deal was wrong and should stop acting like he knows it all

>>145300866

>It turns out preview was kamachi trolling and actual release has completely different text and pictures

>>145306391
If it is they managed to copy Kamachi's writing style pretty much exactly. The sentence structure reads like a Kamachi work at any rate.

Also js06 wouldn't troll us like that and he made the page.

>Prologue of NT16 is Touma waking up from alternate world dream from the preview with a pained stomach and a massive boner.
I could believe that

>>145305695
Why you so mad?

Will Touma ever catch a break? How can he keep functioning

> "b-but my alternative world..!!"

>>145306747
He probably wouldn't know what to do with himself if he woke up and found nothing had gone to shit since he went to sleep.

>Touma keeps thinking of Mikoto for no reason
This is Mikoto's perfect world after she's been WR'd, isn't it?

KAMACHIIII

I don't think this stuff is fake. But if Touma now keeps thinking of Mikoto all the time and comes to realize that he likes her, it means she is definitely going to become crazy and or evil.

>Fukiyose caring
>Othinus and Sphinx getting along
>Index useful
>Touma caring about Mikoto
>AC losing to giant insects and a heat wave
>no Kamisato harem
Yeah this is definitely a fake world

>>145306995

I'm still not convinced. Maybe if we see Umidori being a bully or Accelerator drinking tea I'll give in.

>>145306867
He even has his shirt off. It all makes sense.

>>145306995
Now don't jump to conclusions, all of that is within the realm of possibilities. but if himegami becomes relevant then we can panic

>>145307044
Don't take things too seriously, though.
Even if it isn't a fake world and Umidori starts bullying someone it doesn't mean Umidoi bullying someone in a fake world isn't proof it is a fake world.

>>145307192
Who?

>>145307192
>but if himegami becomes relevant then we can panic

Even in an alternate reality or an illusion that couldn't possibly happen, anon. If she becomes relevant then the only logical conclusion is that we aren't reading Index at all.

>>145307192
She hasn't actually shown up yet, which is sorta odd actually. I mean she's irrelevant, but I would think Kamachi would want to use her in these school scenes since he barely ever gets a chance to.

Maybe she's gonna be the leader in the expedition trip

>>145306330
That novel was such a mind fuck.

Ok what is harder to believe. AC getting getting fucked over entirely by RPG monsters or Magic gods losing to AAA despite only having normal weapons that just so happen to be able to kill magic gods.

>>145307575
AAA can kill Magic Gods because it channels Crowley's power. The actual weapons aren't very relevant, it's described as primarily a medical device.

>>145307303
>but I would think Kamachi would want to use her in these school scenes since he barely ever gets a chance to.

The last thing Kamachi wants is to waste precious screentime with Himegami. Remember, she was made to be irrelevant, that is why all she gets now is short cameos.

>>145307364

>>145306867

Nah

If this Mikoto's dreamworld he'd be dressed like Gekota and Misaki would be 500 lbs eating turds

Was the Virtual-On crossover ever fully translated?

>>145302661
No it's was actually before that he always kept recognizing the smell. Even in OT when Misaka was siting next to him to solve his homework he recalled smelling a rose scent or something.

Does Kamachi make any profiles of the characters with the stuff they like, their hobbies, personal stats and stuff?

>>145308635
No. The closest is an interview he did in the character of Misaka. He also did one that's just the contents of her bag, which is odd...

>>145312520
That was more a prediction of the future that lasted half a volume

>>145312572
Yeah, I know, pretty much the same thing though, not that I hate it. A situation being a dream or simulation isn't bad if done right, so I'd like it regardless of what's actually happening since I have faith in Kamachi to make it interesting.

So if Kamachi does do the whole "Mikoto dies in a false reality and Touma spergs out to protect her when he gets back" will it end with them getting together or will end with Mikoto going evil/turning on him and getting punched

Friendly reminder that sniper is dead.

>Fukiyose is good friends with Himegami and Index
Is she going to open up a charity for characters without screentime?
Did Index and Himegami fuse and that's why Himegami isn't on the volume?

>>145312855
I have no idea how that kind of scenario would play out. I'm not Kamachi. But I do know that we'd have non stop diarrhea posting over it. Like, the worst we've ever had. I suspect a lot of level headed people (regardless of their opinion on Touma and Mikoto) will leave threads if something like that happens

>>145313117
>I suspect a lot of level headed people (regardless of their opinion on Touma and Mikoto) will leave threads if something like that happens
I don't think this is a dream but they would all come back by NT17 if it was.

>>145313215
Yes and if NT17 is confirmed to be "Touma has sworn to protect Mikoto after seeing her die in a false reality" we'd have absolutely nothing but literal non stop shipping shitflinging so bad it'd drown out everything else

>>145313117
There are no level headed people in these threads. Just secondaries who got into the series because of new characters that were quickly discarded a few volumes later.

>>145313325
The amount of times Misaka has been mentioned so far, that is where it is heading. Don't think it will happen this fast but if Touma finally says he has feelings for Misaka she is turning evil or won't care about Touma at least for the short term.

>>145313505
I mean "level headed" as in "doesn't sperg about liking/disliking a ship"

And yes there are plenty of people like that

Are all the illustrations out?

>>145313672

Just two from the preview. The rest will come Monday night.

>>145313672
No.

What if Kamachi realizes an SS about how things scalated this badly?

>>145313554
I have a feeling that's exactly what's going to happen

>world has gone loopy
>Touma figures out world isn't right, starts working out how to fix it
>suddenly Mikoto dies, probably because AAA
>Touma flips out, desperate to get back to his world to protect her
>gets back to real world, swears he will protect Mikoto
>he finds her about to use AAA in the real world for some reason
>time to wait for NT17

I would bet anything it goes almost exactly like this

Only thing is, will Kamachi go the "saves her, confession, happy couple" or will he fuck it all up?

>>145313870
Happy couple "might" be where it ends up but you have to make all the characters suffer a bunch first.

>>145308183
You mean its the Magic and gaia Esper that othinius created?

>>145313870
It wouldn't really feel right if he hooked them up to me. Touma doesn't have time for a girl and him openly dating her would just make her a target until all the bad guys are gone.

He'd spend more time running off to save someone else OR saving her because someone wants to get to him through her than he'd spend doing couple stuff with her

I know there is a lot of sperging here about Mikoto but is there anyone here that will drop the series if she does/does not win (whichever is the opposite of your preference) assuming her ship sails/is crushed before the last novel?

>This is about more than just the school for me. It’s about Index, Othinus, and the calico cat too. Those freeloaders from my dorm are a drain on the resources here. I have to repay them for accepting those three.”

>“So I can’t run away. It’s like a family issue. I brought this on myself, so you don’t need to worry about it, Fukiyose.”

family confirmed.

>>145314875
It would be kind of late to care since it would most likely be something that would happen in the epilogue of the last novel.

>>145314994
>Touma says he's doing it for them too, includes Othinus
>The following scene has Fukiyose still thinking Othinus is a doll
How crazy do they think Touma is right now?

>>145315039
I said assuming the ship sailing/sinking happened BEFORE the last novel

>>145314875
Meh, I'm staying till the end of the ride, I would prefer to see him with someone else than Mikoto but it's the Kamachi's choice, it shouldn't affect anyone's life but the trheads would explode.

As clever and accurate as some of these speculations sound, you just know what actually happens will probably be completely different and crazier

Keep in mind that the prologue ends on page 30 and chapter 1 begins on page 40.
The preview skipped something.

>>145315095
Hard to bring the thought to mind due to the setup of the series, there's just no room for it. Regardless of what happens I'll be reading though, it's not something I care all that much for. In other series I care a bit more, but those are pretty obvious about the pairings towards the beginning anyway.

>>145315319
"Completely different and crazier" can still be better or worse, considering Kamachi's craziness. Kamisato and the Magic Gods are worse, an we don't know how this crazy in NT16 is gonna be.

>>145314224
>Inb4 Touma gives her the ol' "if my enemies ever learned about you" speech

>>145314875
I got in the Othinus ship and it sailed as far as it could go in two volumes, so I can't bring myself to care about shipping in Raildex anymore.
>>145315377
Oh, you're right. Has that ever happened before? Feels pretty weird to just skip 10 entire pages at the very start of the novel.

>>145306995
>tfw this might be the nt9 world
sheittt

>>145315095
Depends I don't think I would drop the series but it is a plot point that has to be dealt with at some point. I would be annoyed if it is just dropped like Himegami.

>>145315542
Which would take roughly 5 seconds.

Hell Thor already knows about her, I could see him attacking her in order to get a proper fight out of Touma.

>>145315635
>5 seconds
Freeza time?

What kind of Elements are you hoping to see? So far we've got a mantis and crab. I'm wondering if it'll be limited to creatures like that or if it'll be closer to Pokemon in the sense of lots of animals getting representation

>>145315542
Lover or not, his enemies have already marked her as a close friend, so it's kind of late for that.

>>145315377
If it is not an alternate world I'm guessing it focused on other characters such as Misaka and Misaki

>>145315736
And if it is an alternate world, it's probably because the last 10 pages blow the lid off of the whole thing.

>>145315661
A 5 meter scorpion or spider would be pretty cool

>>145315661
I honestly forsee the Elements quickly becoming very irrelevant to the actual plot. They're not human enough of an enemy to be important.

>>145315761
Exactly but it could also reveal what is going on by focusing on people who know what is happening such as the heads of the city or whoever is behind it. Besides maybe being inside WR I can't see it being a fake world and think that isn't going to happen.

What if instead of Demon Lord Touma we get Demon Lord Misaka?

>>145315937
Lacks the influence and connections to make it interesting enough.

>>145315937
Misaka has to go evil but who knows how long that will last.

>>145315937
I can't imagine what her aims could be in that state. If she's just going to blow shit up that's not all that interesting. Her going full on "You never really looked at me" Yandere-style with Touma could be sort of fun.

Just wait until Kuroko show up! She's going to show this horrendous disgusting monsters who runs this city and after she shows Touma and Index a thing or two she's going to proceed to protect Mikoto and fight the invader bugs.

So is Touma actually shirtless this whole volume?

That's pretty impressive but they need to actually show a full body shot of him that isn't blocked by other people and things.

I almost feel bad for every songle one of you! I'm literally smiling right now. I believe you all have forgotten what this duo is actually capable of when working together. It's going to be quite the show and I've had my tickets for a long time.

The biggest question is WTF is AC doing for the past 3 days since this shit has started.

>>145319519
Can we see him shirtless in underwear as well as pants as well?

Reasons why everyone thinks this is some form of alternate reality

Silly boy. He's gathering help from judgment most likely as he's the only one who can help them fight off the monsters.

>Touma shirtless and well oiled
>Bishie sparkles and heavily detailed face
>For some reason can fly, has super strength & speed
>"accidentaly lets Misaki get hit by a bus"
>Picks her up and leans close
>"I threw out that silver haired slut, come live with me...my angel"

>Gekotas come from river and chant "kissu"

What did you all expect the magic users to protect everybody?

>>145320013
How do you know that he's well oiled?

Its gonna be
>Kamisato and his harem cast a spell to make AC hot as fuck
>The reason why didn't happened before is because it needed a large group of people casting the spell, at least more than 200
>Kamisato just so happens to have more than 200 magic bitches

>>145320007
Judgement and Anti-skill

>>145320086
Best girl Birdway should protect her onii-chan at least.

Touma promised Etzali that he'd protect Mikoto's world or something like that right? If things really go south he might become an enemy, and he's got all those grimoires and shit.

Why are you even worried? Do you honestly believe the science side is going to lose to the magic side when all is said and done? That's actually pretty funny. I recommend you just enjoy the ride because unlike the magic users you can actually count on the Railguns to pull through every time.

>>145320157
She's a horny young girl

Both her parents are freaks and Misaki noted she's a slut

She was having some goodass dreams about T-man for days before batsu geimu

>>145320326
When did Misaki call her a slut and when was it confirmed her parents were freaks

>>145295340
I gotta say this is the trippiest prologue Kamachi has ever made, hell I think this shit's trippier than NT4

That's gross. Touma isn't exactly what most people would consider cute in this series. He's decent at best and he seems a little whiny. If you want to see a cute boy look at Mii's boyfriend.

>>145320326
This has absolutely nothing to do with what I asked, how do you know that he's well oiled?

This is a cutie!

You have bad taste.

>>145320494
That's not directly calling Mikoto a slut and even if it was Misaki was trolling.

Funnily enough Misaki was describing herself just as much Mikoto

Why? hes far cuter than Touma and you know it! He's seems like he could protect you if things got bad. Don't tell me you hate him because he's a better fighter than Touma?

>>145320264
That dream would be more like

>Mikoto wakes up in a luxrious room
>Wearing a collar and chains
>Misaki's there and starts talking shit
>Mikoto starts sparking and finds she's under mind control
>Misaki has her way with her, forcing her to say "Shokuhou-sama"
>Misaki occasionally releases her and laughs at her attempts to escape the rape before being compelled back
>She lounges on cushions with Mikoto on her lap as she fingers her into submission
>Mikoto orgasms and cries out before waking
>Misaki had a parallel dream and screams at the same time
>Kuroko contemplates murder

>>145318801
I am still more on the side that Touma got WR'ed and is now on a new timeline

>>145320613
Ok show us some pics of him.

>>145315601
This might be closer to NT4 and that was a huge mindfuck volume until close to the end.

>Swimsuit Aogami Pierce (a sight no one had asked for) was staring off into the distance near the door.

>“You just feel a need to protect them, don’t you?”

>“I know what you mean.”

>“Yeah, anyone our age would pick a fight with the world for some swimsuit girls.”

>“I was wrong to ever think I agreed with you.”

Fuck that killed me

Laughable.

Also bad taste, Touma is at least 9/10.
