Doing the same thing != having the same motivation and reasons. Those two have a drive that is beyond the action of protecting/saving the people they care about when danger comes their way. Touma is more of of a blank state so people can self-insert themselves as.

He's empty as fuck m8. Before his amnesia he was a good kid with bad luck that just liked helping people. Index was the first time he saw something really bad happen in his life and since he loved her he wanted to save her.

Then amnesia happenned, he doesn't know who he is and can only assume from what happenned before to build his identity, he just guessed that he was always the kind of people that saves others and tells them they aren't living correctly, basically he's stuck pursuing an ideal person he never was. He doesn't even develop feelings for Index, Misaka etc and just considers them people he'll save. He's broken as a human being.
>>
>>133072524
>By protecting people.
>To protect his loli.
You're oversimplifying the fact Accelerator has a clear goal and objective that came into existence because he developed as a character. Also, the manner in which he "protects" is linearly consistent with his personality.

>He's no longer part of skill-out.
That doesn't void his past that was the foundation that built his current character. Circumstance of wanting to protect the girl he likes and helped save ITEM was what brought change in him.

>What does that have to do with goals and motivations?
That's to show that he has traits that is outside of being an empty canvas that goes with the flow and jumps into muh protecting for an aimless purpose. NT1 does good job to flesh out Shiage, and one way it does that is to show the life-style he used to have and still do, being friends and connections from his life as a Skill-Out
>>
>>133072930
>Index was the first time he saw something really bad happen in his life
He had to save Misaki before amnesia, that was actually pretty fucked up. Incindentally these 2 case are the only ones where things happened(ie permanent damage) that might have made him more cautious and act a little more self-preserving. Too bad he can't remember them.

Also as far as I remember touma knew nothing about his pre amnesia self so him wanting to protect people was something his past self had no bearing on. It's also stupid to say he doesn't develop feelings for people when he obviously does. Unless you were talking about romantic feelings.

to be fair, since childhood, touma's life was pretty bad, getting called bad luck, having stones throne at and almost being stab by some nutjob

and he spend almost a life of this

and in the 6 months that happen, you could say it suck for him so bad.

IB-chan loves giving him suffering.
>>
>>133073183
>You're oversimplifying the fact Accelerator has a clear goal and objective that came into existence because he developed as a character
How his goal came about was not what was being discussed, it was his actual goal. Which as pointed out is the same as touma's. This is also the reason why they can team up in the later novels. You might think Accelerator is a more intresting character because of his guilt but again that isn't what was being discussed and it's also subjective since Touma has his own shit and internal conflict to deal with(memory loss, the whole Othinus arc).

>That doesn't void his past that was the foundation that built his current character
Before he met sleepy bigtits he was unhappy, now that she makes him happy he wants to protect her. His past as a skillout has no bearing on his goals. It might be important in how he does things but not in why.

The last bit is just gibberish. Shiage having a different past than Touma doesn't make Touma an empty canvas. especially since I already told you touma has made his own friends and connections.
>jumps into muh protecting for an aimless purpose
All three characters do this. It's not aimless for them because it makes them happy in some way. This is really basic stuff.

I don't know about Touma, but this guy fight for for the girl in the alternate universe.

A boy falls in love with a girl.

Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.

But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't exist in this universe at all. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC's own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.

Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

Don't be a secondary.
You're taking into account the retcon from Railgun's graviton incident did you?

Because that aside what Touma did the very first time was try to "save" her when she didn't need help.

Then when he realized who he was ended saving foolish thugs from her.

>>
>>133075843
>The Misaki novel showed that.
I wouldn't count on that.
>>
>>133076035
It showed that Touma actively tried to save people before his amnesia. He tried to save Misaki, Misaka, index and suicide girl pre-amnesia and posibly also seria. That's what one calls a patern. The Misaki novel also heavily implies this was normal behavior for him.
>>
>>133074043
I think you need to read the original argument again. Anon said Touma is a blank slate so people can self-insert because Touma doesn't have any real motivation/reason to do what he does. Touma is your supposed normal high school boy that gets mixed up in science vs war conflict, and imposes himself to help or save people for no real motivation/reason. He's a character who rides the plot vehicle out of convenience.
>Touma has his own shit and internal conflict to deal with(memory loss, the whole Othinus arc).
Literally what? Touma's memory loss is something that gets merely touched upon a couple of times and is ultimately never a problem for 99.5%% of the entire story. Touma's infinite hell thing is recent, but that doesn't explain his motivations/reasons at all. That particular experience only made him a bit more jaded and gives him a case of pstd when it comes to Magic Gods.

>His past as a skillout has no bearing on his goals.
Wrong. It is a factor. Shiage doesn't just have only one goal, he had another. What do you think he was fighting for when he was in Skill-Outs? For mostly his own interesting, mainly being self-preservation. Shiage being friends with Ritoku is another factor that helped shaped Shiage into someone who protects.

Touma is an empty canvas because he doesn't have a foundation for his single-track motivation of protecting/saving whoever he wants to save above any reasons. He just does because we're told that that's how he is. Accelerator and Shiage are not like that, instead they had to progressed from an anti-heroes with their own personality and motivations to a person who protects the people they care about.

>All three characters do this.
Not really. See ahove.

>>133076232
His saving complex aside m8, his personality, not just saving on itself.

His attitude pretty much showed that he didn't save people the way he wanted, was pessimistic and snarky about various things.

Why not? Awaki was going to reach level 5 but she didn't. She's level 4. If she were level 5 then she'd likely be able to teleport herself as much as she wanted without being debilitated.

You misunderstand, Awaki as she is now, if she wasn't strained by the idea of not teleporting herself would be level 5. I'm simply pointing out this conflicts with your idea of level 4s being experts in their field, because that's what Awaki is, but she's level 5 material and isn't a quasi deity or whatever shit it was you had in mind.

I could see what you would like from it, I would too, but I'm quite fond of how things have turned for Touma as a character in NT.

Seeing people start fighting over who gets to be saved by him was a fun turn on the whole hero thing as well.

He was only describing what they are seen or represented as. Awaki could have had the magnitude to be a level 5, and thus be seen as an unstoppable force. But on account of her trauma she remained a level 4, an expert in her field and the top of her game. Nothing more.

You're still not getting it anon, Awaki doesn't need to be any stronger than she is right now to be a level 5, she only needs to stop having such big aversions to teleporting herself and she would be. She is the expert at teleporting but also level 5 material, and not in the sense of how Rikou is potential level 5 material but that she was already at that level but fell off of it because of her accident.

Please don't ignore me yet again and come back with the same shit about how she would have to be stronger to be a level 5 when it's been said she doesn't.

Is that even how the system works? I'm pretty sure espers are rated on their power, the strength of their AIM diffusion field and personal reality. If she's powerful enough to be a level 5 then she would be, whether or not she is averted to using that power.
When it's said that she's level 5 material it means that, if she was without her trauma, she would be able to develop her power to the magnitude of a level 5.

You're focusing way too much on the waifu aspect anon. Raildex isn't about that. Yeah, it's got lots of waifus sure, but they're just characters in the story and not the story itself.
If they were, we would have seen a lot more romantic development between the girls and MC/other characters
Raildex is about powerlevels and world building. qt girls are just a bonus
>>
>>133082456
She can't use that power because of her trauma, that's the point, she has it but can't use it, it's not like Accelerator where he can use the Sisters to use his ability sparingly, the masage whatever thing only partially helps, it doesn't allow her to perform at the level of a level 5 as she could before her trauma

He fights for LN sales

Touma has never been a particularly deep character, he's a shounen hero who fights for his friends and an impractical idealism.

This all has its roots in romanticism, but whereas the British and Americans got the fuck over that by the 19th century, the Japs are too mentally stunted to like anything else besides a hero who "never gives up" and "can beat the strongest with a punch."

The only stated requirement in the LNs was the capacity to take on a world's military and be able to hold their own. Even Misaki can manage that much.

There was one audio drama where he tried. Komoe recommended him as a server at a family restaurant.

He broke a juice machine trying to get it and spilled juice over a bunch of customers, including Misaka and Kuroko. The ensuing Biribiri rage destroyed the place and instead of making money, Touma was fired and forced to pay the restaurant for damages.

His power is to negate everything supernatural that he touches with his right hand. Big stuff or stuff that is constantly being fed energy takes a while to negate though. He's so unlucky that fate will never grant him the sweet release of death. He also has precognition, so he's quite good at positioning his right hand so that things like lightning attacks don't instakill him.

The thing is that sending a gang of people to take out Touma necessitates that he's working on his own, which he usually isn't, look at most of the story arcs besides NT10 (where they did send mook soldiers after him and it worked) and they wouldn't have helped. Either someone like Stiyl, Lessar, Mikoto (Did in fact do this with the Hound Dogs) etc etc. will just take out the fodder with ease while Touma goes after the boss.

If you've played Stratego just think of "normal strong guy" as the spy piece where Touma is the general, sure if they go after Touma and he has nothing protecting him he's dead, but more often than not he'll have at least one person with him capable of taking out that person easily.
