What exactly was the purpose of Haruue's existence, other than to be a plot device for a small arc and then awkwardly sit around in her hilariously undeveloped state as a character?

I searched for 19090 in SS2 and read all the relevant parts. Nothing really conclusively showed she had more emotion. If you want to dispute this claim then cite a specific passage.
>>
gWill this uncertain information really benefit the Misakas? asks Misaka #10039.h
gHow is this lucky item supposed to bring luck to Misaka? asks Misaka #13577 as she
decides to look for a cat key chain.h
gM-Misaka simply cannot accept that her love fortune for this month is minus 5, says
Misaka #19090 as she demands a redo.h
#19090 continued mumbling, but those girls were not the type to pay it any heed. That
was when #10032 looked up as she realized something.


“Perhaps the date that should be commemorated as the Misakas’ birth is the day the
plan to create them from the DNA map was approved, says Misaka #10032 as she
proposes a different idea.”
“But that would be analogous to the day a human’s mother and father had sex, says
Misaka #10039 as she gives a rebuttal.”
“Or maybe it’s more like when the sperm was created inside the father’s body before
they have sex, says Misaka as she goes back even further.”
“Bfee! Says Misaka #19090 as she expresses her shock at the current direction of the
conversation.”

how could one doubt that 19090 is different?
>>
>>160111876
They're all different though. And that's a difference in stimulus from 19090 reading a girl's magazine. Not enough evidence to conclude a difference in emotions.

You're really trying to force this more than it needs to be, she's the only one who's clearly showing difference, as of right now she's the only case of this with Heaven Canceller hoping that she can rub off on the others
>>
>>160111919
That's not really evidence she has more emotion. 10032 is affected a lot by Touma buying her jewelry and gets angry at Last Order who stole her goggles.
A different response could be from different stimulus.
>>160111967
Why the hell do you keep repeating "force" as if it has any meaning? You're the one who's trying to "force" meaning onto some insignificant differences in behavior while all of the sisters have some variance.

But she did, she had power,and if you were in her place as the #3 level 5 and wasn't able to save your genes clones normally you'd blame yourself for it as if you killed them yourself.
>>
>>160112078
Not in that one super short scene in SS2, but during the punishment game her behavior differs a lot from what we've seen of other sisters. And she definitely shows emotion.

Haruue is a child error involved in one of Gensei's experiments.

She is presumed dead... no one knows what happened to her. She was never seen again.

>>160112575

I'm not saying she wasn't and i understand that part. But blaming herself for her sister's deaths(who she didn't even know existed at the time) just seems stupid to me.
>>
>>160112788
At that point, she was more focused on the part where she couldn't stop the experiments no matter what happened.
She blamed herself yes, but it wasn't nearly as major at the start, it was only when she started feeling more and more helpless in comparison to the effort she was putting
>>
>>160111465
To create an artificial conflict between Kuroko and Uiharu as to delay investigation on the Poltergeist. Uiharu being obsessed as a caretaker (let's face it, Haruue is a grade-A retard that is incapable of wiping her own ass) weakens her character overall as it shows that her being a fucking Judgment and being a valuable part of the team, her duties and her friends, is below her taking care of a person whom she just fucking met.

This fucking extends to Haruue finally leaving Uiharu's apartment to live with Banri, and she and Uiharu bawling their eyes out despite the both of them still going to the same school in the same fucking district. I mean, Jesus fucking Christ.

I've said it before, but Misaka 9983-10,031 are slightly more her fault.

In the manga, she's stubborn.
In the anime, she's downright negligent and forgetful.
>>
>>160112575
>I'm irredeemable monster that can't be forgiven,
That's what she thinks for letting them die, normal.

>let me save them all by killing myself
Would do the same if i had an army clones that i let die and have no way to save, also normal reaction as she was desperate

>for not realizing that my DNA was going to be used
Regret can always follow even if the person wans't aware of the effects of their actions

I'd say it was a decent way of going through this with her character, Kamachi didn't force anything

My original point was that, people blaming her for her sisters deaths is ridiculous. She can blame herself all she wants and to a point i get it. Still seems rather forced to me though but whatever.

So there was a video of some nogs laughing, filming, and berating another nog while he drowned in a lake.

Now, no one expects these nogs to save this drowning nog... but they could have at least called emergency services or some shit.

There is a reason Touma said he was fighting for himself. "Call my ideals half-assed will she?"

If you see someone in immediate danger you have the choices of either calling out for help, going in to try and stop the people attacking the person or both. The most logical is obviously the 3rd option but noone's going to blame you for doing either.

Also going to suggest you read into the "Dependency Paradox". Because both the Sisters arc and the Poltergeist arc make a thing of it.

Imagine you as Touma or anyone at all, Mikoto is a friend or relative that needs to borrow money, and the number of dead sisters being the debt that is accumulating.
>>
>>160113777
I blame Cloverfield episode for cutting off Misaka's attacks on the labs as she slowly loses sleep.

>"The dependency paradox in close relationships: accepting dependence promotes independence."
So you're essentially saying, not to help people out because they'll get dependent on you if you do. Even though in this situation it meant that the person was going to commit suicide.
I don't agree with Touma's methods of doing things but i still think he did the right thing here by helping her and not simply saying "welp good luck" while going home.
>>
>>160113791
In conclusion:

Misaka owes 1 sister on day 1, with an interest rate of several sisters every day until she pays the debt (stops the experiment)

Not wanting to burden friends with this issue (Even though she wants to, if the flashbacks of her mom are an indication) she stubbornly will not do so. So her debt is constantly increasing while she tries and fails to accomplish what she cannot do on her own.

By the time she finally gets help from someone, the debt is now almost 50 sisters. Her attempts to avoid troubling others led to the deaths (and near deaths) of a lot more people than it would have if she accepted herself and forced her burden onto others right away.

The real forgiveness offered to her isn't this mistake, as a lot of humans make it every day to an extent. (Which is why it is so important that people be aware of this psychological paradox, especially in Japan where it is at its worst) She still isn't to be blamed the same way the greedy banker (accelerator) is but she isn't 100% innocent.

The reason I say the anime is particularly bad about this whole thing, is because the Poltergeist arc was a thing that existed. This entire paradox was one she was berated for by her friends. She wasn't berated for letting the errors being taken away. She was berated for trying to fix it alone. Since this didn't happen in the manga, it is NOT A FACTOR.
>>
>>160114198
Also sisters arc is non-so-secretly a pro-life / pro-choice debate and Touma is the pro-life.

Prove me wrong.
>>
>>160114198
I get what you're saying but the situation is not the same as lending someone money. If i ask someone for money it's going to set them back financially until i return said money. If i ask someone to help me out with something that could get them killed is a little bit different.
>>
>>160114345
The paradox is still applicable if you force it.

Imagine an army going into battle on its own without reinforcements because the reinforcements might get killed.

I should mention I've now seen Railgun S like 6 times. I may have a problem...

"Big Sister was being a bad girl wasn't she? Says Misaka putting her hand on Big Sister's head without being able to touch."

In the end i stand by what i said. To me, Mikoto plays an obviously large role in creating the sisters and no actual role in they're murders. Apart from creating them i guess. But that's like saying our parents are to be blamed if we get murdered for creating us.

God, can you just imagine sticking your dick into Kuroko? You just know she'd be in to all sorts of kinky shit. She'd probably pull you aside while on Judgement patrol and take you to a back alley. Before you know it, she'd be pressing herself against a wall, ass out, panties around her ankles. Skirt just barely covering her butt, looking at you over her shoulder with that tantalizing smile of hers. You wouldn't be able to help yourself; you'd lift her skirt and plunge right in. She'd make a satisfied moan as your cock pushes in with one smooth motion; the little slut is soaking wet. A deep primal instinct would awaken within you. The need to mate. The overwhelming, all encompassing urge to breed with this girl. Millennia of biology would take over, and you'd be lost in the throws of lust. Her tiny jc pussy would be squeezing and clinging to your shaft with each thrust, as if to coax out your seed. After what feels like forever, but was likely a scant few minutes, you'd feel cum starting gather. Your cock would swell to an even greater size in preparation. And Kuroko would look over her shoulder again, giving you that crooked smile. She knows whats about to happen. And in her eyes, you can see the same base, primal urge that has taken hold of you. She wants it, so so bad. Any sense of reason would be purged from your body. You'd thrust wildly and without rhythm, as fast as you possibly can. With your seed, you will make her your woman. Nothing else in the world matters. With one final thrust you'd explode, all the cum racing from your balls and into her womb. You'd just keep cumming and cumming, thick globs of semen splurting out and filling her womanhood. It feels like you emptied your entire sack into her. The feeling is indescribable.

And then, it would be over. You'd slowly pull out, panting and sweaty. The momentary madness would pass.

Kuroko would pull up her panties, trapping your seed inside of her. And with one last wink, she'd teleport away.

There's a scene where she is in bed, looking like she survived a rape...

I think they covered that fine enough.

Despite everything I've said. Mikoto is still the hero. She triggered the Sister rebellion which made Accelerator's worst fears come true. Giving him the courage to be a jobber, and temporarily sacrifice a healthy finger to stop the experiment.

Without Mikoto, it wouldn't have happened. Not even Touma would have been able to do anything.

Index gives him nosebleeds. One of few of her body type that does. He also expressed disappointment at not being able to feel 10032's tits. Which by extention, means he'd be down to rub Mikoto's.

Kuroko's certainly not an "older girl" from the perspective of Touma. And she's not older than Index either. And I was obviously speaking about appearance.

>>160115218
but she is older than index, both mentally and physically
>>
>>160111919
What I still don't get is how so many Misaka clones are going around the city pretty much ignored. Most people would probably at the least see a few a week. Surely more than even just a few regular people would eventually get suspicious and figure it out?
>>
>>160115254
Not physically in terms of appearance. And according the wiki Kuroko is 12-13 and Index is 14-15 which more or less matches what I thought.
>>
>>160115139
>>160115218
Tell you the truth, I don't think Touman can handled prolonged experience with Lessar, Kuroko is the same except she might try to rape him even more with teleportation attempts
>>
>>160115305
We've never actually gotten age numbers for either of them, but kuroko is 6cm taller.
>>
>>160115254
Mentally perhaps.

But I believe Kuroko's age at the start is 13. While Index is "around 15"

I guess we won't know how old Index actually is until her birthday comes up... by which point end game will be triggered and series will end.
>>
>>160115359
Well Kuroko's approximate age is more or less set according to her being a first year middle school student (equivalent to 7th grade). This means no older than 13 by the end of the school year, unless she's a bad student who got held back. Index was said to look approximately 15 I think.

I only heard it from 4chan, so [citation needed]: Haimura apparently made a mistake on Stiyl's design as explained to him by Kamachi.

Not suppressed, undeveloped. The sisters are all more childish in personality than misaka in a way even if they have learned much quicker than her about romance.

They're more playful than Misaka original. The first kills had them acting like a kid on a playground doing poses and whatnot.

You'll need to find an explicit reference in the manga to 19090 saying the virus succeeded if you want to convince anyone.
>>
>>160116665
You're literally the only person who thinks 19090 isn't different
>>
>>160116682
Making a lot of assumptions there buddy.
Not him, btw.

Not true because >>160116463 is different.
>>
>>160116740
>Not him, btw.
Sure, you're free to do whatever you're trying to do here. But it doesn't take a genius to understand the reasoning why everytime 19090 gets "screentime"(which she hardly gets) she's always shown being a exception, in all of her appearances in which she interacts with the others
>>
>>160116213
Imagine instead that you saw a bunch of uniformed police officers, federal marshals, special forces, CIA officers, the head of NATO and the Secretary General of the United Nations kicking people into a lake and drowning them. You're not going to call the police. Everyone is in on it. They'll murder you, and your friends too.

Academy City has a vested interest in not offing Misaka Mikoto. She's a PR asset. Kuroko, Uiharu, and Saten could die in a freak accident and nobody would bat an eye. In her mind she was the only one who could act.
>>
>>160116782
She has showed more emotions than the others and there's a simple reason for that. Heaven Canceller stated that each clone has/will develop her own individual personallity. Doesn't mean she has more emotions than the other clones, just that she's different than the rest as is every other Misaka, hence Touma's speech about how there's only one of "you" in this entire world.
>>
>>160117115
The other clones don't feel embarrassment, and has yet to do so, while 19090 has been doing it from the start, this all goes back to the suppressed emotions mentioned in the manga, in which one of the scientists asked if she can get a little "shyness", if it's as you say then 32 wouldn't have been so open to taking her skirt off for Touma in public like that.

The conversation isn't even about personalities, it's about the emotions that they display

Emotions and personality are linked though. Like i said, they each develop their own personality thus show different emotions and reactions while put in the same position. One of them could even end up having a slutty persona in time.

Wait, why was Haruue of all people chosen for Level 6?
>>
>>160117325
The problem with what you say is that, once again the only time we see 19090 doing anything with the others it's her being different.
As of right now what you say may be true in time, however as of right now it's literally only 19090 who does what she does and that's why she's special
>>
>>160117405
Let's just agree to disagree and let time tell us which is right. Hopefully we get some insight on this in the new Railgun novel that's coming up.
>>
>>160117384
There are probably a shitton of espers who were identified by Academy City as possible level six candidates, almost all of whom died in stage 1 of 72 of the process.
>>
>>160117384
She wasn't chosen specifically, all her class of Child Errors were used for the experiment with proto-Body Clear.
>>
>>160117585
Banri's class, rather. Haruue wasn't involved with the shift itself.
>>
>>160117384
They were experimenting with overloading esper powers. I don't think they expected any of the overloaded espers in the experiment to actually reach level 6.
They wouldn't want to give accelerator or whomever the ideal test subject is the serum until they experimented enough on disposable guinea pigs.
>>
>>160116944
And that's why AC shat bricks over the possible PR problems when mama Misaka was going to take Misaka original out of AC which is obviously less of a problem than Misaka going on a rampage after releasing said tape and forcefully leaving the city before any of the Rensa or five overs were made?
She's one of the only people that could have actually gotten away with reporting the shady stuff in AC and she just decides to let it happen to everyone else instead.
>>
>>160117734
It wasn't a PR issue, they didn't want Mikoto to leave because they wanted to keep her powers local.
>>
>>160112919
This so much. I can't stand her character, nor can i stand Uiharu when she's with her.
>>
>>160117815
Nope. They specifically said that if Misaka leaves then it starts a floodgate of other parents leaving AC with their children because they don't like the idea of their children being in a country that's a target for world wars. The local thing could be a side benefit but the more pressing issue was it would make everyone else start to leave AC.
>>
>>160117734
Who's she gonna report it to? All the higher-ups with power in the city know about this shit. If she gets her mother involved in this it'll put her in dager. Same goes for anyone else outside of AC.

>Level 6 Proposal for Esper Takazaki Michiko

>Overview: The proposed subject, Takazaki Michiko, is a Level 2 psychotemporal Esper currently attending XXX Middle School. Subject's esper potential is recorded at a maximum potential of Level 4, but has demonstrated certain analomous properties in the presence of external spatial distortions. 11th-dimensional distortion studies suggest the possibility of...
>July 17: Subject was retrieved and prepared for the Spatial Conditioning Chamber.
>July 18: Subject suffered runaway AIM feedback cascade and suffered catastrophic brain failure. Numerous temporal distortions were detected immediately prior to the cascade. Emergency brain transplatation was attempted, but did not prove effective at reviving subject; the brain was placed in stasis for future analysis. Runaway student paperwork was filed with Antiskill.
>...
>September 23: Subject's brain was transferred for XXX facility for integration into the Special Neural Project.
>>
>>160118001
>Emergency brain transplatation was attempted
So how does that work?
>>
>>160118130
If they can make Rensas they can put a brain in a jar to keep it alive.
>>
You know the real question about a hypothetical war with anyone is just how many people within Academy City will remain loyal to them or even try to help at all
>>
>>160117734
>She's one of the only people that could have actually gotten away with reporting the shady stuff in AC.
Any source she contacted outside of AC would be unlikely to be alive the next day. The only way she could have gotten the source out there would be to personally invade a broadcasting station and broadcast it personally. And what here exactly, is the point? To start a war between Japan and AC? Maybe force AC to pull an Avignon on Misaka's hometown? If you are going to ask for help, you need to think of someone who you think can not only help, but who can win.

The reason that light side individuals keep the dark side a secret is because bringing the dark side into the light... brings the dark side into the light. The dark side doesn't want it, but the light side doesn't want it either because it means open war.
>>
>>160117961
Anon, you are lowering my opinion of you at a rapid rate.
So parents wanting to take their kids from AC a major problem worthy of Alister's attention.

A worldwide reveal of an inhumane cloning experiment that doubles as guro where they make the #1 half insane esper constantly committing murder, torture, and the consumption of human flesh is happening with the full knowledge and support of AC after tricking a 5 year old into giving permission for it is not worth concern? Do you think that not a single parent of an AC esper is going to give two fucks about that? Do you not see how that might not at all go bad for AC if one of the only people they can't actively stop if they rebel goes loose?
>>
>>160118286
And do you not remember the fact that she tried to get that shit out into the public? Now how did that go again?
>>
>>160118286
>So parents wanting to take their kids from AC a major problem worthy of Alister's attention.
Misaka didn't know this.

>Do you not see how that might not at all go bad for AC if one of the only people they can't actively stop if they rebel goes loose?
Misaka is a valuable but ultimately disposable asset. Even 128 of her would be a disposable asset. It turns out that she was actually 100% indispensable for reasons explained fifty novels later, but nobody at the time knew it.
>>
>>160118286

I couldn't care less about your opinion of me, that's irrelevant. Focus on the topic.
>>
>>160117384
>>160117627
While Haruue is level 2, she has the kind of attribute that allows her to manifest her power above level 2 occasionally
>>
>>160118254
You're thinking too small a scale for what Misaka can actually do with her abilities.
AC would have to physically take out every single internet hub on the planet since she can just plaster the videotape on anything that connects to the internet. It wouldn't be some localized event destroying her hometown. It would be millions of people all over the planet suddenly receiving a message about AC being a hellhole followed by the most well known member of AC shooting her way out of the city. Now, consequences could happen after that but in order to keep any semblance of the plan going AC would have to kidnap all of the espers and nonkihara scientists when they didn't have the ability to prevent a rebellion from lv 5 espers.
Do you think Gunha or Touma is going to sit there nonchalantly if AC tries to do martial law if everything explodes?
>>160118570
Disposable? yes, Killable? Rensa wasn't made yet. Rensa was made because AC had no way to take down a rebelling lv 5.
>>160118511
When? She gave up when she realized AC knew about it, she couldn't trick the satellite since it was exploded by Index , and it was clear that her terrorist bombings were doing nothing. She didn't try sending information out in any meaningful manner to the outside world or even the student body at AC.
>>
>>160118706
>Disposable? yes, Killable? Rensa wasn't made yet. Rensa was made because AC had no way to take down a rebelling lv 5.
No, Rensa was made for the scenario where all of the level 5s rebeled (or something similar). It wasn't made for merely one of the level 5s rebelling.
>>
>>160118706
I'm tired and we're getting sidetracked here. The original debate was wether or not Mikoto is the one to blame for the deaths of her sisters. Just tell me your opinion and let's be done with this before i pass out.

and how deep does the darkness go for people who aren't even assets. dare we ask that on /a/.
>>
>>160118706
>It wouldn't be some localized event destroying her hometown.
I agree. Misaka could get the message out there, at the potential cost of getting all her family and friends killed. All that for a CHANCE at stopping an experiment.

>>160118706
>AC had no way to take down a rebelling lv 5.
They had a very easy way to take down a rebelling Level 5: send a stronger Level 5 after her. Accelerator could kill Misaka before breakfast and not break a sweat.
>>
>>160118858
I'll take your word on that as that's a slight but important distinction but I'm going to point out that Misaka's delusions of grandeur and Shouten MC worldview don't allow for her to realize if she'd be too weak to win an a battle in the first place.
>>160119056
No when she was a child as a child giving permission for that is legally bullshit in the first place. I'd say yes for not using the simple solution of mass disseminating the information/warnings but she is legitimately dumb enough to have not figured that idea. She's already mentally unstable as fuck.

Now for all of the bad stuff that has happened since then which she could have prevented instead of voluntarily promoting a city of horrific inhuman experimentation is stuff she is indirectly responsible for as Alister's current AC plans he used up till the last LN would have massively derailed. TLDR Frenda is that murderous Mikoto's fault.
>>
>>160119413
>I'd say yes for not using the simple solution of mass disseminating the information/warnings
I feel like most of the main group has had the oppertunity to reveal to the world about what AC does behind the scenes but are legit dumb enough to do so. Like when they were in Hawai, they could have told the president about this shit and he could have gone on national television to report all of it. I know that they had other things to worry about but still.
>She's already mentally unstable as fuck.
Are you refering to her going killer mode in NT17 or her obsession with the T?

This much is actually true, but it's also part of a theme that stretches through a lot of Index, that it's okay to fight to take back their "everyday lives" and to preserve a peace that has a dark shadow lying over it than flip the table in the name of justice. Touma is always fighting people who have some great sense of justice in their lives, who want to end suffering, to be the salvation of the world, and they're willing to turn over everyone else's lives to do it and sacrifice their own lives on top of that. He usually tells them to fuck off. That's just how it is.

>>160119688
There is no point in encouraging the United States to fight an enemy that it cannot defeat. They'd end up like Science Guardian.
>>
>>160119688
Fair enough on everyone else although for Touma this is just normal and he at least knows that there are people outside of AC that know. Accel has ulterior motives to not telling since the sisters going public might not be great for em and they're semi hostage if he does get that idea. Hazamura is blackmailing AC so that he isn't murdered with one secret as it is. He's not going to think he can safely reveal another. Misaka's in a unique position of naive and "power" where she could feasibly think/try.


>Are you refering to her going killer mode in NT17 or her obsession with the T?

Everything. She's a level 5. None of them are sane human beings and I suspect AC .purposefully unhinges them further.
Misaka firmly believes that reality works like she is the main character in a shounen jump manga. That's one strike against her.
There's all of her violent tendencies but I'm not getting into that billion word explanation and subsequent arguments with her rapid fans. so it would be one considered by those that agree with me on this but not count otherwise to avoid issues.
Next is her inability to mentally handle anyone being stronger than her. This is linked to the shounen MC mindset but it's severe enough to be judged on it's own.
Touma beats her? She repeatedly challenges him with clearly lethal force despite her claims to the contrary (attacks that melt steel totally aren't lethal to human beings). Since Touma does not properly present/bluff a proper power gap this is the start of a yandere obsession with him instead of full on mental breakdowns like later.
Accel wrecks her shit and displays that she's weak. She goes suicidal.
She displays no comprehension whatsoever of the fact that she should be scared of anything that makes Touma run which is part of this ongoing inability to accept she is not the most powerful being on the planet.
Salome shows up, The mental breakdown that Niang Niang nudged slightly goes full bore and she goes killer mode.

>>160120332
Kamachi once insinuated that America could win against AC in open war by sheer dint of their size and resources. It would likely be a bloody, drawn-out affair, and there wouldn't be any winners in the war, only losers. The magic side would have a field day with whoever was on the losing side as well.
>>
>>160120332
But Touma keeping a lid on things would be the exact same thing he'd be punching people for if he was against telling the truth about AC.
How many people suffered from not having the horrors of AC revealed so that they can get/stay the hell away? All of the commonwealth is being attacked by evil jizzwizards. The only reason I'm not asking why my smile isn't worth protecting is because I can kick Alister down the stairs. Are the smiles and everyday lives of the people that must suffer due to this silence not worth protecting too?
>>
>>160120570
Unless America had a massive anti-supernatural program going (and from the looks of Liberal Arts City, they've got nothing of the source) it doesn't really look like they've got anything that could stop a Rensa from leveling DC. Troops, men, material, none of that matters unless you can get it to go where you want it to go. I'll take Kamachi's word for it that it would be at least an ugly affair and honestly WW3 is not something you want to start even if you can anyway.
>>
>>160120646
>>160120570
but if AC really goes to war with anyone and starts leveling shit, why wouldn't the espers that live there turn against them?
>>
>>160120332
>There is no point in encouraging the United States to fight an enemy that it cannot defeat.

Then there's no point in telling the world of what's going on in AC, if even a super power like the US can't do anything about it.
>>
>>160120734
The US can though, it was stated
>>
>>160120675
AC's defense programs are not reliant on its espers, at least not in the way you think they'd be. Vento made this mistake and got herself fucked up so badly, even Touma expressed concern for her during their fight. Also, higher-ups like Yuiitsu have entire contingency plans drawn up in case the espers ever actually rebel against AC. This is no idle threat, given she singlehandedly fucked up Tokiwadai in NT16.
>>
>>160120628
>Are the smiles and everyday lives of the people that must suffer due to this silence not worth protecting too?
Every decision you makes preserves some smiles and destroys others. There are many people out there who are only able to keep their smiles because they are able to go on beliving in Academy City. On the whole the math looks pretty bad, but the risk of blowing off the lid is incredible. When you are negotiating with hostage takers one of the things you have to worry about is making sure you don't piss off the hostage taker enough that he just starts setting off bombs.

Also, the Will of the Misaka Network is a big shitter who told Touma it was okay to fight for his smile alone.
>>
>>160120916
Your assumption relies on the fact that everyone within AC will remain loyal to them, hell your higherup mentioned literally went AWOL
>>
>>160120646
That can't be the only one considering how many programs have existed in the past and how much more viable they'd seem in a world where proof of supernatural phenomena exists. it's just the latest one that Alister went and destroyed I feel like LAC implied that Alister eliminates any attempts to make espers/magic mainstream by a government. A real war vs AC would bring out patriotic American Eagle Wizards that would either become soldiers, help out the misc programs enough to defend them from Alister attack, and low key buff the armies with secretly enchanted bullets.
There's also the problem of the fact that America doesn't fight by itself. It fights with the world. It's the US, All of Nato, Japan, the rest of the pacific allies, worst Korea, China sharpening its claws for a chance to pick off something at an opportune time and corner the esper market via the sheer number of bodies.
It's on a whole different scale.
>>160120956
>Will-tan
We already figured out that she's probably Alister or Alister's puppet by now. Her existence is an actual affront to the individual lives of the Sisters.
In a situation where either decision loses and protects some smiles then the proper thing to do is what is right. And yeah. the math is horrifically bad. He failed to protect the smile of 1/3 of the Earth from jizzwizards. That's a pretty hard failure from a mathematical standpoint.
The other problem with your analogy is that you're trying to negotiate with them to stop setting off bombs while they're actively creating more bombs and more hostages. Obviously talking is better but there is a point where there is no clear intention to ever stop escalating things no matter what.
>>160121036
He also used Vento as an example when said defense works entirely on espers being there. If Vento was the type to use lethal force that same trick wouldn't have worked.

Is this actually enumerated on in the recent novels, or speculation? I'm a bit behind on the novels.

Letting Aleister "just win" is arguably better for a lot of people involved than dragging out a great war. Same goes for a lot of other people, really.
This is the great paradox of peace.
>>
>>160121593
Nah. just basic logic. Everyone always felt something was off about her and then it got pointed out that she's exactly what the sisters claimed would happen when they were OK with dying. So she's the direct antithesis of the entire lesson behind the sisters arc. The other problem is that she talks more like she's a terminal being typed into. She also only shows up to put things back on course for Alister. It's merely alot of circumstantial evidence piling up once it gets pointed out to you.
>>160121593
Nah. Alister is purposefully making everyone's lives shit. You can claim it's more peaceful but he's really just extending suffering to as many people as possible as his methodology. He constructed a city that could have been absolutely anything to lure Touma in and he chose to make something million children suffer instead while forcing everything back on the rails if it ever looked like it was going to stop.
Sisters arc could have been a ping pong tournament. Battle royale could have a Virtual On Tourney. Kakaine could have just spent too long being a NEET instead of stuffed in a fridge before he becomes obsessed with loli beach volleyball. AC is his personal torture device he uses before he takes that barely bottled up rage out on the world.

>. Everyone always felt something was off about her and then it got pointed out that she's exactly what the sisters claimed would happen when they were OK with dying. So she's the direct antithesis of the entire lesson behind the sisters arc.
This point doesn't make any sense. Can you explain?
> The other problem is that she talks more like she's a terminal being typed into.
Even if she's not Aleister's pawn she's still a terminal formed out of the subconscious of the network, so this argument is meaningless.
>>
>>160122206
The sisters believed that their deaths wouldn't matter since as a hive mind their overall collective conscious(Will) would survive so long as there was one of them left.
The character arc for the sisters was entirely based upon them accepting/realizing their own individuality and the fact that they do die when they are killed as well as the fact that it is wrong.
If you accept Will-tan then that means that (logically) it was perfectly OK for Accelerator to kill as many clones as he wanted because they weren't real people. She is a metaphorical and actual affront to the entire sisters arc by merely existing.
>>
>>160122405
Will isn't the individual Sisters, though. That's the point. The memories are contained by the collective but the individual clones still die, that never changed. Will's existence is in part due to those deaths, however, so you could consider that a moral issue, but eh.

You need to realize that drastic actions like that have enormous consequences. If a lot of other espers rebel, then you'd essentially have civil war inside AC, and a lot of innocent low level espers are going to be injured or killed. There's pretty much no way US, Russia, England, etc. aren't going to interfere when illegal human cloning is involved and the magic side would probably take advantage of the war. Then, if AC loses the war and is dissolved, other countries will have to take the espers and will gladly research (or dissect) them. And they obviously aren't going to leave 10000 emotionless esper clone soldiers as they are. Certainly genocide is horrific, but would you be willing to start a nuclear war over it?

Mikoto destroying the labs was in fact the best solution, and would have worked if the experiment didn't have such bottomless funds (probably due to the importance of the Sisters to Aleister). She only went suicidal after seeing that the terrorism wouldn't work and Tree Diagram was destroyed.

If Will is some entity that's only vaguely related to the Sisters, why does she come in and act like she's the true thoughts and feelings of all the Sisters when she "emails" Accelerator? Read that scene again. It definitely sounds like Will is saying she is what the all the clones truly think and feel, whether they show it outwardly or not.

That doesnt make sense. If she's just a vague by product of the network, she has no business saying "she" left Last Order anywhere. Unless she is implying she herself is Last Order's inner most thoughts. A vague by product is not in charge of who goes where.

And how much damage to the planet has AC/Crowley purposely caused? It's set off a world war that nearly ended a continent, killed AC citizens often enough that they have hidden body incinerators behind every laundromat, ended the world ten thousand times in a row, killed thousands of others, had the sisters invade foreign compounds in breach of international law which probably resulted in quite a few deaths, and now 1/3 of the planet is being attacked by evil masturbating keikakumen. Those are some pretty fucking big consequences.

What the hell exactly is the point behind dissecting the espers when in your theoretical situation they can just outright take the data from the esper programs and make them instead?

Will shouldn't be claiming she's the decision maker for the Sisters unless she actually is.

Also here is an inconsistency:

Will says "I left Last Order AND Worst with you" to Accelerator in NT6. This implies she has a certain amount of control over WORST.

In NT9, however, she says "Misaka WORST is not my territory, I don't accept her"

So which is it? Do you control her enough to "leave" her somewhere OR does she not fall under your jurisdiction because you don't accept her?
>>
>>160125056
That's totally not because Alister can login as an admin to the Misaka network.
>>
>>160125146
I think Will is 100% Aleister bullshit that's probably going to hurt the clones at some point.
>>
>>160125056
Let's not forget how inconsistent "I left Last Order here and I can "throw you in a bigger hell than you can imagine" (read: take Last Order away) in NT6 is compared to "You're a good boy, Accelerator. Go home to your brat, and treat her like a person and not a victim. Also, don't worry about me. I don't belong here and won't impose myself on any of you" in NT10
>>
>>160125056
what if those Wills are two different Wills
>>
What if Will is a would-you-kindly protocol?
>>
>>160125056
The Will of the Misaka Network is a entity that was created when the Misaka Network achieved sentience.

>With a puzzled look, Misaka Worst said, “Couldn’t you just drag it out with an iron claw?”
>“Go to hell, loner, spits out Misaka in response to this black-hearted monster.”
>Though, since they were both existences controlled by the single large will of the Misaka Network, that opinion had technically once existed within Misaka Imouto as well.

>He had met a girl created from an aggregation of AIM diffusion fields and he had met those who made up a network of human clones where the whole could influence the individual and the individual could influence the whole.

Think of it this way: inside your head right now there are a lot of electrical pulses running around. Your consciousness depends on this electrical activity. Imagine if entirely incidentally to that, these electrical impulses gained "their own" sentience. This entity would be made of your own thoughts as fundamental particles, just as your brain is made out of cells, a completely virtual entity. Is it you? No, not really. But it "is your thoughts", even as it is capable of having its own.

Really the whole thing is a bunch of fucking nonsense.
>>
>>160125445
They almost seem like it. NT9 and NT10's Will seem a lot different than NT6's. NT10 Will negated a lot of what NT6 Will said, too.
>>
>>160125311
That's not really inconsistent. If Accel decided to act stupid again Will could exert control, but because he stuck to the hero route Will had no further reason to interfere and could leave them be. It's not like the clones are constantly under Will's control. For that matter, the most degree of control we've seen her achieve is temporary assumption of direct control of individual clones.
>>
>>160125514
> Really the whole thing is a bunch of fucking nonsense.
As is most of Kamachi's science. You don't read Kamachi for realistic science.
>>
>>160125572
If she's telling the truth about "I don't belong here and won't impose myself on any of you", then that certainly implies she was never going to "throw Accelerator into a hell several times larger than he imagined" because that would be interfering.

If my brain gained its own sentience, it still wouldn't be correct for it to go to my roommate and say "I got you some food" when it was me that did it.

>>160125814
However, it'd be fine for this strange sentience to take credit for my calculus homework, if it was the one that actually did it. The point is there would need to be an acknowledged separation. Will did not seem to acknowledge that separation.

>>160124885
>set off world war
Mostly caused by GRS getting mad at Touma. The conventional battles were mostly jokes, and war ended with R/RoC basically saying "Fiamma forced us." World war over human cloning would be more serious.
>hidden body incinerators behind every laundromat
Not that many ppl die in AC lol.
>ended the world ten thousand times in a row
Aleister/AC really had nothing to do with Othinus doing that, except maybe IB existing.

Also, this stuff happening at a later time does not justify Mikoto starting a much worse war in OT3 when none of this stuff was known then. If she had, I'm sure a lot more ppl would be bashing her for "selfishness" than those trying to blaim Mikoto nowadays for not saving all the Sisters.

>What the hell exactly is the point behind dissecting the espers when in your theoretical situation they can just outright take the data from the esper programs and make them instead?
In a war, stuff like esper development machines, drugs, teachers, documents, etc. are going to get destroyed. The remaining stuff would get distributed among the winners, and I doubt they could get complete information. Esper powers likely use Aleister magic and no other country has replicated it before. It'd be like when they tried to reconstruct Tree Diagram with only fragments.

Given what we know of Touma now, he could well have just been speechifying about the Sisters' individuality out of the heat of the moment and to further throw Accelerator into a rage.
>>
reminder that clones aren't people
>>
>>160127227
That's true but a "lol he was lying, they're all the same thing and it doesn't actually matter how many of them died" would spit in literally everyone's face. It's valid I guess but it'd be really shit. Mikoto's love and Accelerator's redemption would mean nothing if it turns out the Sisters really aren't individuals
>>
>>160127318
As as been said, it's possible this is true but it'd be a garbage route to go. It'd belittle most of Mikoto's and all of Accelerator's characterizations
>>
>>160127339
Part of what it means to be an individual is to have awareness of yourself as an individual. In the beginning, there was only the Misaka Network. Only after the Sisters learned that they were individuals and not networked computational subunits did they become individuals.
>>
Somehow I imagine a "yeah we're not individuals, the 10031 units you killed meant nothing because we're all the same person" would hurt Accelerator far more than "oh we all -Last Order included- secretly hate you and can't wait to see you die".
>>
>>160125703
Dat belly.
>>
>>160127467
At least "we all hate you, go fuck yourself" would make sense and be fair from his point of view. "Yep, no, we never actually cared about dying and it doesn't matter. You were tricked into feeling guilty and protecting us. We're just Aleister clay." would be pretty fucked up
>>
>>160127467
Accelerator never talked to Misaka 1 because there was never really a Misaka 1 to talk to. Accelerator talked to the Misaka Network, which happened to be using terminal #1 at the time. What looks like clones finishing each other's sentences is not really multiple individuals finishing each other's sentences; it is simply a single person, the Misaka Network, multiplexing its output through multiple terminals, operating multiple bodies to a single end as naturally and easily as you are able to move both your hands at the same time.

Individuality only occurs when a Misaka unit is able to have independent thought patterns, as if your right hand were to gain a life of its own.

This just further hints at the individual clones not nattering. Or if they do have some sort of individuality, it's because the true Will allowed it. Sort of like how you might make a choice that's against what's typical of you.

If the clones really are just terminals of Will and any "individuality" they have is the Will allowing it (which is basically still "they're all Will" ) what does it mean for the clones? Would they be done with Touma's farce? Or would they cling to it harder? Could it mean they aren't meant to survive the series?
>>
>>160128694
they will probably still be into him, considering even Will is
>>
The dead Sisters are dead. Will can speak for them because she has their memories and knows what they would say, but they're a static existence. They have no capability to change or make new memories. They're alive in the same sense that if someone somehow copied your memories at the moment of your death you would still be "alive". It might be sort of you in a sense, but you're still dead. You're not developing any further as an individual.
>>
>>160127923
HC already explained this. The clones don't follow human logic in terms of individuality. One person can only decide to do one thing. So if you had to decide whether you wanted to have fast food, or eat a snack, or cook your dinner, or just not eat anything, you could only do one of these things. The Misakas can do all of these things because they have multiple bodies.

It was also hinted when 10032 and Worst argued about hurting a cat. They were opposed to eachother but it also stated they're still the same person. When you kill a Misaka it's like cutting out part of a person's brain. The Network as a whole no longer has that Misaka's input.
>>
>>160128694
It would at least deeply hurt Accelerator and Mikoto, assuming Mikoto even hears of the development. Touma would probably try to bullshit his way to everyone smiling, as usual. I feel like no matter what happens with the clones, it'll have some positive in it.

Example:
>Last Order does
>Accelerator loses his shit
>Will shows up
>"Calm down, she doesn't want to see you like this. I know, she's literally a part of me."
>"Hey fuck you, she was the only person that ever loved me."
>"Oh, fuck off with that. /I/ love you. Now get your whiny ass over to Touma and help him. We'll have a nice long chat later, but you have to go help Touma if you wanna see me again because of Touma loses, I get erased. And then you really will lose everyone that ever loved you, you self pitying fuck. See you soon."
>After a time skip, a moody Accelerator gets a knock on the door
>Its literally a tiny Misaka clone
>"Oh, come on, don't look at me like that. We said forever, right? Did you think you were getting rid of me that easy?"

Now I'm not saying that the above scenario is amazing or that it should happen. My point is I feel it'll have an overall happy tone even if we get some sad shit. I feel like this will be true for the entire series
>>
>>160129298
But if the dead Misaka's input is based on the Network itself, what difference does it make?
>>
>>160129365

>>
>>160129446
Each Misaka is a different aspect of the same person. People are like that too, it's just unlike the Misakas only one exists at a time. For example, you and your six year old self are very different people. But in the end you're the same person. The Misakas are like that, it's just they can have many aspects at the same time.
>>
>>160129534
We are likely in for it or the reverse (Last Order/Will needing to save Accelerator) at least one more time in the novels
>>
>>160129446
>>160129298
I think that HC said that by having these individual experiences (hambagah vs no hambagah), each Misaka would eventually develop as an independent individual.

Once the units finally achieve individuality, the Network will go to sleep for the last time, never to wake again.

>>160116323

If the Sisters grow up, get married, and have children, all those children would be genetic siblings, but probably regard each other as cousins. If each Sister had only one child, that'd be over 9000 siblings. Imagine if each Sister had two or more kids.

What is much more weird than Misaka getting the AAA is the fact that Misaka has been able to be blissfully unaware of most things that happen in Academy City even after her step into the dark side for this long.

And she doesn't even take an interest.
>>
>>160130482
She's kept away from it all because she's the poster girl for success at AC. The worst she's seen is Sisters, and she only saw the tip of that. She doesn't get why Accelerator wore a monster mask.

Then she should really be fucking FINDING OUT, shouldn't she? One of her friends was attacked by an insane sniper and rescued by a bomb-throwing maniac. Another of her friends almost got her head stomped to pulp by Academy City's #2. Her roommate was probably at Judgment dealing with shit exploding all over the city, her littlest sister was almost harvested for parts, and the person who almost killed her was hired by the city to rescue orphans or some shit. Also, her boyfriend was in the hospital after destroying France.

This sounds like the kind of shit that you should maybe doing a little bit of research into. You're a fucking mega hacker! As far as I can tell she never even got to the bottom of exactly what the fuck happened even during 0930. And that was forever ago in the timeline.

That's not really a Misaka-specific thing though. No one really talks to eachother in this series. They only get enough information to solve the problem right in front of them.

You clearly forgot a few details in the series.
Fiamma pushed for the war to fix the fucked up elements and the fucked up elements were directly caused by alister and AC. This also means AC can be blamed for the english civil war.
>Not that many ppl die in AC lol.
Dude. The first thing anyone from the dark side notes when they see a Touma adventure is how ridiculous it is that people didn't die every step of the way.
>Aleister/AC really had nothing to do with Othinus doing that, except maybe IB existing.
Refer to earlier. Alister's fucking around is what got Othinus off her ass to bother in the first place.
>In a war, stuff like esper development machines, drugs, teachers, documents, etc. are going to get destroyed. The remaining stuff would get distributed among the winners, and I doubt they could get complete information. Esper powers likely use Aleister magic and no other country has replicated it before.

Yes. Because there is not a single scientist in all of AC that understands how to make an esper despite mass producing them. You're trying extra hard for everyone to act really fucking stupid when there's a massive amount of loot to raid and a war just started due to unethical treatment of espers.
THhey were only reaching the point where they want to dissect espers in the first place because (as seen in liberal arts city and the gemstone SS) crowley kills everyfuckingone that might figure something out for "humanitarian reasons."

She doesn't really go suicidal though, she does it because she thinks it's the best way to save the clones. Just like in the Daihasei festival where she tries to compress her deathball so it takes her out but doens't destroy the city. Her problem is that she always puts other people's lives before hers.

Mikoto does hack the Bank in index SS 2 but Uiharu bricks it. Also, it's not as if Touma or Accel or really anyone besides Crowley knows the full picture of 0930.

>>160133697
This isn't just directed for you alone, but also the others attempting to complain about Mikoto (*cough* arguments like "Mikoto didn't care about Worst existing"). Please at least use a modicum of reasoning before complaining about something. Just because something is not explicitly shown on screen DOES NOT mean that it didn't happen. This is doubly true for the parts of the LN not reached by the spinoffs yet. Mikoto obviously visits the Sisters in the hospital and trusts HC to take care of them, what more do you want? You want Kamachi to pack the timeline even more densely with SoL stuff?

More like Kamachi can't really decide with who Touma should start his first true relationship, by Touma own words he wants a busty pretty girl, so I would want to see Kamachi growing some balls and actually cut Touma harem anticks and make him date a girl like that while saying no to all other who are after him.

>>160140391

Same, but lets be honest: When does Touma have time to date? He barely has a day to himself. He can barely make it to school, let alone maintain a steady relationship. It wouldn't be fair to the girl, and I could see Touma not going for anyone/rejecting girls for that reason alone.

I think that's why I'm not as bothered by the endless harem stuff like I am with other series. Most of the time, it's not resolved because the main character is an indecisive fag. In Touma's case, I think he'd be fine with just about anyone even remotely attractive that cared for him (busty onee-sans being preferable of course), but he simply doesn't have the time. There is so much going on in his life that it's just not a priority. It also helps that romance isn't exactly a prominent aspect in the LNs for him and is more played for laughs.

It really isn't. It's just for the people who love the conversion fetish.

None of these events really impacted anything Touma knows. It's one to not know about strangers who are struggling, but it's another thing entirely with friends, family, and people you vowed to protect. That's just weird.

>You want Kamachi to pack the timeline even more densely with SoL stuff?
It's not just SoL stuff. It's also catharsis, angst, and psychological struggle. They actually do this pretty well for the direct Railgun arcs: after Level Upper, after Sisters, and after Daihaseisai there were chapters where the city cools down and everyone can have a good cry. I suppose that the Railgun manga only has the responsibility of dealing specifically with Railgun things but then it just feels like a lot of the setting is being neglected. After all, the "Railgun side reactions to Index events" isn't something that can be handled anywhere else, since the Railgun characters don't really mater anywhere else, and Academy City is about to put its foot in something.

Imagine if they just skipped WWIII and dived right into New Testament like they did 0930 or Battle Royale. I would have an aneurysm.

To be more precise the first time "Crowley" is used is Volume 1 as the author of the grimoire Moonchild.
The next time is Volume 6 and it is used by Tsuchimikado to reveal his full name of Aleister Crowley. No one in between then is shown to know that Aleister's surname is Crowley.
Stiyl, Laura, etc all talk to him just using "Aleister."

He's a spy for both sides at the same time so if anyone's gonna be withholding information it would be him. He obviously knew, but Coronzon had to confirm it at the end of WW3.
>>
>>160149389
Tsuchimikado knew that Aleister was a magician and he wasn't on Necissarius' side. Find me ONE time where someone who doesn't know the AC Director is a magician refers to the magician as Aleister or ONE time someone who doesn't know Aleister is a magician refers to him as Crowley. It doesn't happen. The name "Aleister" doesn't appear at all in Volume 7 which is about the Book of Law.

“W-we…Ahem! Then let us begin.” Lola had been about to say something, but she swallowed it back down and changed the topic to something work-related. “Stiyl, have you perchance heard the name Book of the Law?”
“The name of the grimoire? If I recall correctly, it was penned by Edward Alexander.”
Edward Alexander—also known as Crowley. He was at once called the greatest magician of the twentieth century and the worst magician of the twentieth century. He was a legendary figure, one whose aberrant, extremist, abnormal words and actions got him deported from many countries on many occasions, one who fueled the creative passions of many an artist…and one who made an enemy out of every single magician in the world. Historical records stated that he died on December 1, 1947. He was such an utterly difficult and chaotic enemy that one could rightly say that his death loosened strings of tension across the planet.”

>and one who made an enemy out of every single magician in the world.
And over thirty volumes later, we finally know why.

>Literally post that shit on fucking youtube and/or call a newspaper outside of AC

>>
>>160149593
>>160149644
We knew since Volume 6, while the passage in >>160149561 is from Volume 7.
From Volume 6 Epilogue:
“He was called both the most talented magician in the world and the one who held it in the highest contempt.
And his greatest insult to magic in the long history of the world, which no magician had ever done…
...Was to abandon mastery of magic and attempt to master science.
No one knew why Aleister, the man who had stood at the pinnacle of magic, had abandoned everything. However, it was the greatest humiliation to the world of magic that had ever occurred. The most superior magician in both name and reality had abandoned magic and tried to rely on science. In other words, Aleister had named himself representative of the culture of magic and, without anyone’s permission, had raised the white flag to the culture of science.
In so doing, Aleister Crowley turned the entire world’s magicians against him. Not only the witch-hunting Anglican Church, but every single person who knew the least bit about magic, without exception."
>>
>>160149644
>>160149840
>No one knew why Aleister, the man who had stood at the pinnacle of magic, had abandoned everything.
That's the thing we finally learned. Of course we also learned that there was never a magic/science divide after all, Aleister created one artificially as pointed out by Luca and Fran in the previous volume.

So she's literally swinging a sword so hard that is creates some sort of cavitation bubble in the air to cut him? That doesn't make any sense but it is kamachi science so that might have been inevitable. The cavitation bubble, that is, not her swinging the sword crazy fast. She could have her strength and sword improved through magick and it wouldn't matter as long as her attacks use normal stuff. Similar to the railgun being unblockable because it's just a normal coin travelling at highly destructive velocities.

>mach 3
Mach 3 would not cause the coin to burn up due to atmospheric friction after 50 meters, and assuming it weighs roughly as much as a US quarter, 5.670g, at mach 3, which is 1020.87 m/s, the coin would only have 295.45 joules KE, which is only about as much energy as a .38 special bullet. That cartridge is definitely not capable of blowing through asphalt, multiple concrete walls, among other things we see misaka leveling using the railgun. Again, it also doesn't burn up after 50 meters due to atmospheroc friction. While pontentially lethal to unarmored humans, it would barely penetrate 4 layers of drywall, much less cinderblock or concrete.

I started watching this show in broadcast order for the first time, so I've completed Index S1, Railgun and I'm now up to Episode 7 of Index S2.

I'm wondering if I should stop where I am and complete Railgun S instead because I feel like I'm missing a lot of the story by not watching this in chronological order.
I read that Railgun S shows a lot of the Sisters Arc from Misaka's perspective, and since Episode 7 is continuing directly from that, I feel like I haven't experienced an important part of the plot.
Any advice?

Because the x-15 which travels at twice the speed (2020.621) experiences next to 0 air friction. In contrast, an object that DOES experience significant amount of air friction, a space shuttle reentering the earth's atmosphere, travels at around 7823.2 m/s, or almost 8 times the supposed speed of misaka's railgun coin.

Yeah, between invisibility, a massive resistance to damage, and a bunch of elemental attacks, they basically all have a bunch of Level-4 equivalent abilities, and the 100 meters even more than that. I can totally see them wrecking the shit out of Tokiwadai without Misaka there to protect them.
>>
>>160156877
The coin should definitely move much faster than it does considering how much damage it does to shit, but I don't think that's a good reason to say it's not going the speed the author and narration state it does. If it says it goes Mach 3 it goes Mach 3.

Personal Reality forgives all science sins anyways. The coin does more damage because Misaka's insane.

You (and many others) assume that the coin travels at a constant speed but it is in fact accelerating. A railgun forms a current loop out of the rails and the projectile, and the rails are the AIR, not Mikoto's arm/finger/etc. The Mach 3 speed is the speed after leaving Mikoto's hand, not the final impact speed of the projectile (Mach ~100).
>>
>>160157062
Assuming that the coin is made of stainless steel (which is the cheapest material to make arcade coins out of, a quarter sized mass of it would be valued at less than a hundredth of a cent), it's vaporization temperature is 3,135 K.

The mercury capsules heat shield only reached about 1400 K at roughly mach 20 during reentry. If we extrapolate this to the vaporization temperature of 3,135 K, I'd imagine we'd be reaching into mach 35+, maybe even 40+ in order to vaporize the coin at all, much less in such a short distance as 50 meters.

If we crank the speed up to Mach 40, we get a kinetic energy for the coin of about 48651.435 joules, which is equivalent to a 7500 pound pickup truck moving at 5.34 m/s, or 11.9 mph.

Is stainless steel the cheapest material to make a coin out of? I doubt it. Don't think of material costs, they're insignificant compared to manufacturing costs. Steel is probably too hard to easily shape. Softer metals will be used to make it easier to manufacture.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coining_(mint)
> Nickel alloys are among the main metals used in today’s coins but they are harder than other legacy coinage metals such as silver and gold alloys and therefore they cause even quicker die wear. Copper and copper alloys have been used in coinage for centuries because of their malleability and the ease with which they can be coined: however, these too wear the dies when the dies are used for too long.
And I don't think the coin is actually going to vaporize, just disintegrate and fall apart first. Or melt.
>>
>>160158056
Well I should correct that. I shouldn't have said "Don't think of material costs, they're insignificant compared to manufacturing costs" because this depends on the specific manufacturing method and material.
But making an arcade coin out of stainless steel would probably be milling or forming out of powdered metal rather than just stamping due to the hardness. Which are both more expensive methods than just stamping a coin out of something soft like copper or gold.
>>
>>160158056
>And I don't think the coin is actually going to vaporize, just disintegrate and fall apart first. Or melt.
Molten metal travelling at high speeds can do a very large amount of damage. See HEAT ordnance. It would have to vaporize before 50 meters in order to stop being dangerous, as the metal vapor would get shot everywhere and lose speed and heat very rapidly from conduction, settling down as microscopic particles of coin over a pretty large area.

>>160158131
Copper is hundreds of times as valuable as shitty stainless steel, slightly lowered production cost can't overcome a multiple hundredfold material cost increase. Factories can make tens of thousands of guns out of the same machinery, and gun parts generally use much more quality (meaning hard) steel.

Right, but I'm thinking more of something like a powdered steel gear would mechanically fall apart. And once it's not a big chunk it will act like a frangible round and won't be able to penetrate very well and will have shit aerodynamics.
>Copper is hundreds of times as valuable as shitty stainless steel
I was just quoting wikipedia there for why a coin wouldn't be made out of steel. I know copper wouldn't be the proper material choice but something softer than steel would probably be used. Probably nickel or some sort of alloy.
> Factories can make tens of thousands of guns out of the same machinery, and gun parts generally use much more quality (meaning hard) steel
This stuff is way more expensive to manufacture than a simple arcade coin.

Steel is still very rare in coins and when used it's in some sort of alloy to make it softer. Or in the case of the British 1p coin they put a soft layer of copper over the steel to stamp the design into.
But overall the point is that coins are pretty weak and they don't have to literally vaporize to fall apart.

Most casinos use brass coins. They'd be stamped, thus it'd be harder to tear them apart mechanically.

However, due to the composition of brass, it would probably fall apart at around 1000 degrees C, or 1273.15 K. This is because the boiling point of zinc is around that temperature. When the zinc begins to vaporize, the copper would come out of solution and fly apart. To achieve these temps the coin would have to be flying at about Mach 25. To disintegrate before 50 meters, it would probably be flying faster.

Basically Jesus is God. Idol theory makes him get a fraction of the power God has. Idol theory then gives Kanzaki a fraction of the power Jesus has.

>>160158783
Right. You'd also have to consider that the coin would heat up from the electric current being passed through it (since this is how a railgun works). In fact brass isn't a great conductor so if the coin was brass it would have higher resistance than a copper or aluminum coin so Misaka would waste some energy and heat up the coin more.
Aluminum is probably the ideal arcade coin for this. How well it stands up probably has to do with how it's manufactured which could be all sorts of crazy methods in Academy City.

I said brass wasn't great but after a bit of googling it turns out steel is a really terrible conductor. So a steel arcade coin might be a bad idea.
Brass is acceptable as a conductor but it's not magnetic so it wouldn't work for a railgun.

>>160159024
Nope, steel is a bad conductor. Steel spikes would be good to manipulate with magnetism but bad to pass current through for a railgun.
Aluminum or copper would be decent probably.

>>160159197
>Brass is acceptable as a conductor but it's not magnetic so it wouldn't work for a railgun.
nvm I'm stupid. Lorentz force doesn't need a magnetic projectile.

The point is that the steel spikes are significantly stronger than the shitty brass coin, on top of being much more aerodynamic. If the coin burns up after 50 meters, the steel spike might not burn up at all.

Aluminum is electrically superior to a spike.
Railguns have rails that are typically evenly spaced. Oddly shaped projectiles might be hard to work with. Not that Kamachi really understands how a railgun works. Typical real life railguns are spherical or rectangular projectiles rather than a long spike. Something a bit elongated like a modern bullet might be best. A full spike like Kuroko uses probably isn't the best.
And you also have to consider space and ammo storage.

Real railguns use sabot ammunition, so they still shoot a spike. The "rectangular projectile" is mostly sabot that is discarded the instant it leaves the barrel.
And steel is still structurally superior to aluminum and copper. Real railguns use steel projectiles because of this. Steel isn't a terrible conductor, it's just not as good as copper and aluminum, two of the best and most cost effective conductors.
