AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A DUDE!
?Well we finally got some hint of plot but I am most displeased with the excessive amount of screen time given to this spiky haired dick wad whom I shall refer to as Spiky-kun. This Spiky-kun needs to GTFO and die, I hope Kuroko goes Liang Qi on his sorry ass make him GET SOME with a Wiimote of DOOM. At any rate Biribiri was awesome as always with her martial prowess which was sadly negated by Spiky-kun’s overpowered magical GN hax. Just goes to show that Biribiri has much to learn when it comes to close combat. I hope that the Tokiwadai no Ace starts taking lessons from Alphard onee-sama so that she might avail herself against that cheating spiky haired two bit loafer. I was overjoyed as Almighty Zeus SMASHED HIS EGGS INTO ATOMS.Saten-san was unusually delightful this time around as she whispered suggestive things into Kuroko’s ears. Of the four of them Saten had particular interest in Nugi Onna, and even wanted pictures… I think Saten shows great promise as a future master of Yuri. Poor Kuroko was pretty much left out in the cold to make way for that insolent Spiky-kun but at least she managed to make one love love attack to bring Biribiri back to the the light. Nugi Onna gave plenty of hints as to where the plot is headed, and for a while she made Biribiri blush profusely which is always a plus.
I like how Biribiri utilized her powers to create a most interesting weapon, which sadly amounted to little in the face of Spiky-kun’s hax. If only she took a few close combat lessons instead of relying on her own prodigious powers she would truly be invincible. Maybe at some point she can learn to dodge from Kuroko who at least married her teleportation skills with a mild level of CQC. Still Sipky-kun annoys the hell out of me, that good for nothing sexual predator who shamelessly assaults women. Even if the story moves forward the less I see of him the better.
Calawain’s Admiration of Railguns
While Crusader’s panties got in a bunch, I loved this episode because I love the tsundere side of Biribiri. The crazy teleporting lesbian is fun and amusing, but I like how they mixed it up here. I mean, seeing as how Touma is Biribiri’s love interest he is bound to make some appearances, even if this is a spin-off of sorts.
Speaking of Kuroko, she had some amusing parts of her own with her going batshit insane over the undressing woman curse. One assumes said woman is important in the theoretical “plot” this show may or may not possess, but I wasn’t really paying all that much attention. Too busy drooling over dere dere Biribiri and a nice dose of combat for this episode. Tsundara?
Screen Caps
In fact Biribiri found it quite hawt.
I smell a future development.
Who is this Flame Haze?
Pffft… no Wired, no Armchair Genral, and WTF Where is my Nintendo Power?!
But the do not SHINE IN THE NAME OF ZEUS.
A DBZ reject is what he is.
He plans worse than Dr. Hell…
He’s a arrogant attitude and has no respect for women.
He may have pretensions to being a hero but he’s acting like some loser harem Gundam Seed animu male with haxx0r powers.
Miss Biribiri I share your sentiment.
SHINE IN THE NAME OF ZEUS, comrade!
Oh it’s that spiky haired enemy of women everywhere stalker!
He doesn’t need help, he needs to be fixed with a wrench…that is thrown at a high velocity.
…
Reminding you where your sexual preferences lie…
WE MUST KILL HER ATTACKER BEFORE HE STRIKES AGAIN!
Indeed he did, that monster!
He even has the gall to lie about it too.
Ah so good to see that Biribiri likes to take articles of clothing from onee-samas too. So Kuroko was only emulating your behavior…
Wai wai Yuri Tea Party!
Note how that is the only Urban Legend of Saten-san’s interest.
A most excellent opportunity to cop a feel from Kuroko, you have learned much Saten-san and Uiharu-san.
…Let them continue.
Oh Lecherous Saten is Lecherous.
Indeed if only Biribiri were here too.
I think Saten-san will make a fine onee-sama one day.
You should. I insist that spiky haired fellow must still be around trying to harass Undressing Lady.
Kuroko I suggest you be cautious… bad feeling have I.
Hey at least it wasn’t chocolate.
Oh I bet that kid had stories to tell when he grew up.
That sounds…quite interesting.
Uh oh…she went to a guro page…
Sadly it seems that newtype bullshit is about to hit as hard as a colony drop…
Hmm…I imagine Undressing Woman attacking Biribiri to be quite awesome actually.
ALL THE BETTER amirite Kuroko?
Some curse…
QUICK grab your camera! Got to love Saten’s face in this shot.
Oh but she should, for you of course…
Let Kuroko defend the chastity of her Biribiri onee-sama.
Oh Uiharu it seems that you are always the subject of attacks.
AMEN! SING IT SISTER!
…
Yeah she’s one of them Tsunjires.
I like it when she blushes.
Indeed it is all his fault. He is the cancer that is killing this show.
So this is the grandmother that Stinky Wizzleteats taught to suck eggs…
And thus did he show his GSD ancestry…
Fuck you hippie cut your hair and join the Army, the commissary never overcharges.
Miss Biribiri, please start killing him.
Your hate will make you powerful.
Sounds so much more fun than a beam saber.
When a problem comes along…you must whip it!
That Spiky-kun is most weak.
Perfect now twist his arm and BREAK IT!
BOO! Spiky-kun is into abusing women.
Just look at that smug face…If only we could BIG BANG PUNCH it.
Kuroko where are you?!
…
So moe he died.
You ought to be embarrassed, Alphard onee-sama has much to teach you…
Aand how could you assault women without hesitation?
…
Oh Kuroko you could wait a bit longer…
IT’S THE ONLY WAY!
I could scarcely believed how she DUUUUUHHHED.
LOOK! KUROKO’S LOVE IS BURNING RED!
Sleep well you princess of Tokiwadai, ye queen of electroshock.
Though next time could you finish up whatever it was your were doing with Kuroko all tied up…

lol I love the CANAAN references here.
I’m really curious about which direction Railgun’s going to be heading in now- what with this episode’s interesting new side character and all.
Regardless of whether if Touma is a prick or not, his appearance made this episode better by putting Biri-biri in her tsundere state. I agree though Biri-biri needs to learn some hand-to-hand combat if she ever wants to beat Touma.
Spiky-kun? You mean Touma? Touma, the hero from the first season, who helps Index, the Misakis, and gave Biri-Biri ( LOL Shocker LOL) her name? The guy who only reluctantly fights Misaki after their first run in because he knows she she goes into profuse blush mode (Woohoo!) when she can’t beat him?
I doubt she ends up with Touma, since he’s busy saving everyone.
I’m liking this spin-off, Index was fun, but seemed disjointed with all the unconnected mini stories.
I laughed at seeing Touma making a self-righteous speech the moment he got his first “major” screentime. That is what he does best. It’s like he was just waiting for the chance. But I have to grudgingly agree with TJ. As much as I disliked Touma (and maybe he’d be a better fit as a supporting character), his presence definitely made Biribiri better. Been missing that tsun…tsun… dara? lately.
@Katherine
Alphard will have much to teach these girls…but at any rate All Hail Nugi Onna!
@TJ
I hope that one day Biribiri will not only defeat Spiky-kun but cripple him for life, if not kill him outright.
@skyhack
If I wanted to see Spiky-kun I would have watched all of Index, as such I find nothing heroic about this pervert Spiky-kun. To me it was all propaganda much like how Igloo 1 was a bunch of lies coming out of the filthy ass of Gihren Zabi.
@RP
If only Kuroko could illicit such a response…but alas we must suffer this enemy of women, for Biribiri is inexperienced in love and mistook an adrenaline rush for love. Ah well Kuroko’s LOVE WILL NEVER DIE!
Best episode of the show yet. Penis power! All this screaming lesbian nonsense can’t fill a full episode.
Absolutely loved the last fighting scene where biri takes great justice’s hand and he wants to hit her but stops.
Kyaaaa maketa.

Hmm something wrong? I can`t see any pictures at the moment … .
Haha after watching episode 4 I was looking forward to the Touma hate. His right hand is smashing up the yuri
. Though apparently Crusader would prefer Touma to be physically smashed. Almost a frightening level of hate really.
Anyways definitely the best episode of the series overall. Think it was good for Kuroko since she had the right amount of focus. Besides it worked more on her comical level rather than the insane stalker level.
The first meeting was definitely fitting. Touma tried to help and nearly gets owned for the trouble. When looking back at the whole thing think Mikoto was hoping someone would step forward to at least try and help. Otherwise she would have just instantly dispatched them and moved on. While I doubt she was appreciating the just being a kid comment the initial response to someone like Touma talking to those thugs.
You get some great fights with Mikoto though. I mean the whole chainsword/chainwhip was pretty cool too see in action. Though of course it would have killed most people. Pretty entertaining though the message is clear that Touma can’t win. Can’t attack since Mikoto has her helpless and scared look that no one could go against and thus can only wait for her to exhaust herself.
The real tragic part of this were those broken eggs. Being lost before they could serve their purpose.
Well I can’t say too that I’m very happy with the guy but some kind of that char. there must be too… Anyway that fight in the end was guite good ,up to now I thought that only power that biri. poses is tossing coins (in fancy way ^^ ).Also traditional Kuroko’s crazyness but because of that I think I like her the most from the show.
I’ve read that there are still traces of canaan resounding. I finished watching that show recently and I must say that I feel sad how it ended ,well how Alphard ended. I felt like part of me cried thus I never cry (only metaphorically).It was like seeing part of my complicated soul >< the most part.
Yeah and tsundara = fail
I can’t say I shared your hatred of Spiky-kun. He seemed like a well-intentioned, if inept, guy when he tried to help out. And just think of him this way, he brings out Biribiri’s tsundere side AND will make Kuroko jealous enough to speed up her plans for her onee-sama. It’s win-win.
Ren and Stimpy reference was a nice touch btw. Also I wish someone would make an animated gif of Kuroko banging her head against the table in the restaurant.

OUCH!! 8D
I have to admit, your dislike of Spiky-kun is somehow galling. I can take your attachment to nigh-rapist sexually harassing 12 year old female teleporters in stride. But… this is Touma. When he’s not acting as Corporal Exposition (he was recently promoted from Captain), he is perhaps the most human-(acting) shounen protagonist in the game today.
That said, Biribiri’s railgun once again proves the superiority of direct-fire ordnance.
(I jest. Everyone knows that land-based hard strike capabilities will be mooted soon enough anyways.)
…(Touma x Biribiri)…
Touma is such a shitty character. though without him, we wouldn’t get the tsundere Misaka. however, that’s his only purpose. this show is so much better because of the lack of Touma or Index. the supporting cast of Saten, flower girl and Kuroko easily trumps that of index.
@random passing dude
Well Spiky-kun is a dick, but since when did heroes start hitting women?
The bar must be low for heroes these days. Why back in Ancient Greece a hero had to keep fighting even after losing a limb…and a hero had to fight multiple enemies and against equals.
The only part about Spiky-kun being great justice is the justice part because he is as hateful as Infinite Justice Gundam. In fact this Spiky-kun is a jesus-Yamato too.
@Mel
The problem seems to have been fixed.
@FlareKnight
Indeed the eggs met an untimely demise for they would have served a fine purpose in being thrown as hard as a rocket punch into Spiky-kun’s face, preferably after they had gone rotten. I would have made him suck on them too…
Mikoto was awesome if only she had a worthy opponent…
@Emperor
Alphard onee-sama is very disappointed in Biribiri for losing a hand to hand fight.
@ExecutiveOtaku
It’s only a win-win if Spiky-kun ends up as red paste on concrete. I want this to be Railgun nor fucking Index II.
Stinky Wizzleteats is more heroic than Skipy-kun at least former shoots people and can still sing about happiness. Also his album art has him with a beard, which my default makes him more of a man than some puny spiky shounen hero from animu.
@skyhack
Fall not for the lies of Spiky-kun for he is no more a hero than Gihren is competent!
@Eirias
Bah this Spiky-kun is little more than the personification of every white-knighting forum poster. His chivalry is merely a front to oppress women everywhere, as he seeks to keep Biribiri weak by demonstrating that she cannot save herself.
A real hero seeks no thanks nor recognition, a real hero would not spend so much time running his mouth.
Also your OTP SUCKS more than Venus A.
@gt
I hope one day Kuroko can illicit such a response from her Biribiri onee-sama.
great review, i sorta like when Tomo pops up in this series always interesting. starting to like Saten-sama a lot shes a fun character.
in the novels, biri biri confessed her love to spiky-kun. i guess she’s not into yuri.
tsunjire powers on max.
Think of it this way, no matter how much you hate Touma, don’t you think crippling him for life is just plain retarded? I mean, he’s not even a bad person. Everything he does is well intentioned and never for some secret evil reasons. Of course, you don’t need to like him because he can be extremely annoying many times but thinking of crippling him is a bit much. Now if you think that way towards bastards with bad intentions, it makes more sense.
Touma’s more gar than many heroes today, and let all the haters choke on their own spite…
@foshizzel
I shall watch Saten-san’s career with great interest…
@AHELO
That doesn’t means she isn’t bi, or that they were meant to be.
@Silver
I see the crippling of so called heroes like Jihad-kun and Spiky-kun to be a small matter like the glorious slaughter of Zeke scum, after all they aren’t real so why should I really give so much as a damn? Nor does my liege Prince Ali approve of their self serving heroism. I am sure the cutting of Touma’s toungue would cripple him for life, but it would make him mildly more tolerable…
@acs
I’d say a IRL Fireman has more guts than Spiky-kun, but I guess imaginary heroism is far more appealing to you preferences. I guess spelling it gar is quite true for this generic shounen hero only the likes of the Undefeated School of the East are befitting of the title of GAR.
I’d rater swallow spite than suck off his boring speeches, but to each his own.
@ Crusader
Well if you say it that way then it’s understandable. If only Touma just do what he does but shut the heck up, he would be a lot better.
LONG LIVE SPIKY KUN!
I am liking this series so far. I agree this is the best episode yet. I look forward to more of Crusader’s vehement hate of the spiky kun.
Holy moly, the Touma-hate is strong here! Some of the comments are more hilarious than the ep itself, although I’d expect anyone to get sick of him if they watched Index. However, pair him with tsundara Biribiri and it all becomes fun to watch.
You can argue about Spiky-kun’s self-righteous prickitude all night, but I’d suppose it’s all he has to cling onto with his insanely bad luck and lack of a realistic personality.
Still, it’s always nice to see tsunjire Biribiri taken down a tiny peg. If anything, I’d almost say she deserves to have him plaguing her from time to time.
Wow, the Touma hate was amazing here. This guy grew up with the worst luck ever and he’s poor, no way in hell he’d turn out the nice semi-panzy that he was in parts of index. Watching this episode finally made his character make sense. He was never some fancy rich guy that had everything and seeing someone like her with her high-class school uniform and arrogance that botches up his attempt to save her and getting him in deep-^^^&, I can totally gather why he’d make such snide remarks later on to her in the series. He offered a helping hand, considering that doesn’t have much to look forward to, maybe even in life, and she basically smacks him in the face for it, without words. So yes, he flips and does it right back…what guy wouldn’t have some sort of “Holy-***&, WTF” moment after something like that?
Bah, **implied without action** instead of -without words in last post.
Not sure how anyone can find Touma annoying, especially when you have characters like Kuroko who absolutely destroy every scene she’s in that involves Mikoto. I try hard to keep my hand from hitting the fast forward so I get(hope to get) more of the story, but am mostly disappointed.
