They started being less retarded, but early enemies were so confident in their abilities that they didn't think about using anything else. This is the reason Touma used to say he would lose to a normal magician until he got raped by Aqua who was way ahead of his level

Touma being revealed as a false prophet that's working for his own whims when? Touma cashing in on all of his "debts" so he can fuck everyone who doesn't bend their knee to him when? We got a taste of that in NT10, but it was still portrayed as "poor, poor pitiful Touma, he's trying to save qt grill and big mean nasty world is trying to crush his pure dreams"

No, I want an arc where he's flat out fucking in the wrong about everything and not even the biggest Toumafag can wall of text about how he's really right.
>>
>>139350922
He just wants to save people in front of him. It's almost as much of a freak of nature as the Kiharas.
>>
>>139351048
I think it's creepy as fuck considering the length he goes to for people that mean very little to him except "they are sad, I don't want them sad"

Couple that with he outright rejects someone making a world where no one suffers and has ever suffered and it almost sounds like he wants suffering to exist to be corrected by him.

Sort of like Yagami's God complex but not quite as arrogant
>>
I heard of a scan of the To aru Majutsu no Index no Subete book is around somewhere, but haven't been able to find it. I don't suppose someone would happen to know of a link?
>>
>>139351246
Touma doesn't want to necessarily change the world or be a god but he does have a similar "I don't like this, and I'm the only one who can do this...this power chose me...." attitude.

He might not outright say "I am justice" or believe that everything he does is right, but he definitely probably thinks it subliminally. Who wouldnt eventually think "I'm doing the right thing" after saving so many people?

tl;dr He's not as arrogant or insane as Light Yagami and I don't see him doing things as extravagantly as Light, but the characters are a bit more alike than people would think at first look
>>
>>139351246
>he outright rejects someone making a world where no one suffers and has ever suffered
Sounds like a fucking nightmare to me. Scar tissue is tougher than skin. Life would be boring and meaningless if bad things never happened. Wanting that world really isn't much different than wishing to be on heroin 24/7.

Seems more like Touma's the only person that isn't a pathetic bitch in that situation. No, I haven't read it. But from that description, seems like Touma's completely in the right. A world without any suffering, heaven, etc. would get incredibly boring incredibly quickly, and people would live like robots.

As an out-of-anime example, watch Wall-E. That ship contained no suffering. And goddamn was it disgusting.
>>
>>139352972
I mean the world is the nightmare, not rejecting it

But NT9 showed that he was willing to commit suicide for a world where no one suffers.

Reminder that Kamachi foreshadowed this as early as OT 3.
>Back then, she had honestly believed that as she grew older, as she grew stronger, she might even be able to create a full sky of stars.

Nuit from wikipedia:
> She is usually depicted as a naked woman who is covered with stars. She represents the All, pure potentiality both as it flowers into the physical universe and as it resides beyond embodiment.

But the fanbase says she's irrelevant, so what do I know?
>>
>>139368711
To follow:

>Within this system, she is one-third of the triadic cosmology, along with Hadit (her masculine counterpart), and Ra-Hoor-Khuit, the Crowned and Conquering Child. She has several titles, including the "Queen of Infinite Space", "Our Lady of the Stars", and "Lady of the Starry Heaven". Nuit represents the infinitely-expanded circle whose circumference is unmeasurable and whose center is everywhere (whereas Hadit is the infinitely small point within the core of every single thing). According to Thelemic doctrine, it is the interaction between these two cosmic principles that creates the manifested universe similar to the gnostic syzygy.

Crowley's commentary:
>"Nuit is All that which exists, and the condition of that existence. Hadit is the Principle which causes modifications in this Being. This explains how one may call Nuit Matter, and Hadit Motion.

If you can identify Hadit, then that's who Mikoto will probably end up with in the series conclusion.
>>
>>139369221
>Hadit is the Principle which causes modifications in this Being
If you're asking about something along the line of "who rules the Principles of the Universe", then that's Accelerator for sure. Remember, in OT Accel was often talking about the "set of rules" that the world follows.
>>
>>139369221
Hadit is likely Accelerator, and even though people's first reaction to Accelerator and Mikoto together is "what? No" or "crack ship" I've seen some pretty good arguments for that pairing actually happening.

But I've also seen a pretty decent theory or two that Touma or even Gunha might be Hadit.

But the most credible is Accelerator.

I agree that she'll likely end up with what whoever Hadit is even if it is Accelerator.

I think that's what Aleister could be trying to do with Osiris, Isis, Hadit or Nuit and whoever else might show up. These people won't actually be Osiris, Hadit, Nuit, ect but will have merely been shaped to fit that role

What if AIM and it's worldwide spread is some sort of playing feild that Aleister can activate and use to create fake gods?

He could bait the real god or gods out and use the fake gods to fight them. If these fake gods are really people (Accelerator, Misaka) it'd make perfect sense for IB to step in.

Holy shit. Aleister wants to bait God into a fight so Touma can punch him.

I don't even like Touma but fuck this sounds awesome.

That would put gunha in a weird spot because he has the potential to surpass ollerus which in turn would put him way ahead of the other level 5s, but his powers are natural and not artificial like the rest. He must be some kind of demi-god that is too busy fucking around to notice.

Maybe he has potential to be ahead of everyone but require far more effort to get there than could ever actually happen. I'm not trying to shit on Gunha because I like him and think he should appear more but I don't think he'll ever be much more important than he already is

I'm all for that, to be honest. But I can honestly see the reason for Gunha not being stronger being something as simple as "it would take him longer than a normal lifetime to do it" or "his body couldn't handle it if he maxed it out"

It might be considered lazy writing but "they don't have a long enough life" and "their body will fuck up" has already been used several times.

I think "some random guy that's not been in the story much BTFO everyone and saves the day" could be considered just as lazy, just in w different way
