Mikoto Misaka is the third-most-powerful Esper in Academy City, a state-of-the-art city dedicated to the scientific study and development of Psychic Powers. Every student in Academy City is given an "Esper Level" to indicate their power, and Mikoto is a Level 5: the best of the best, an electromaster with the nickname of "The Railgun".Together with her friends in "Judgment" (the student-run "Public Moral Committee"), she works to protect the peace in Academy City from delinquents and hoodlums. The story narrates the events of A Certain Magical Index from Mikoto's perspective, as well as delving into her own conflict with the darker evils that lurk in the shadows of Academy City.A Certain Scientific Railgun is an ongoing manga spin-off and supplementary reading to the A Certain Magical Index Light Novel series written by Kazuma Kamachi which began in 2007. Unlike the main light novel series, the Railgun manga purely focuses on the science elements of Academy City, and not the greater Magic/Science conflicts of Index. However, there are side-story novels, included in the limited edition volumes of the Index anime, where Mikoto and her friends unknowingly encounter elements of the Magic side. The manga series currently has 16 volumes released, with five completed arcs and a sixth in progress. It later got its own Spin-Off A Certain Scientific Railgun: Astral Buddy that ran from 2017 to 2020, starring Hokaze Junko, the Number Two to Mikoto's rival Shokuhou Misaki. Starting in 2021, a sequel to this spin-off starring Misaki herself, A Certain Scientific Mental Out, began serialization. Railgun and Astral Buddy are localized by Seven Seas Entertainment.Similar to its parent series, Railgun has received an Animated Adaptation courtesy of J.C. Staff. The first season debuted on October 2009, focusing on the Level Upper arc of the manga as well as some anime-original material penned by the author. A one-shot story set during this season was also released in October 2010 in the form of a half-hour OVA; unlike the TV series, this has not been licensed in the English-language market. A second season, A Certain Scientific Railgun S, aired in Spring 2013, focusing on the Railgun version of the Sisters arc and an anime-original plotline. A third season, A Certain Scientific Railgun T, aired in Winter 2020, following the third season of the Index anime and the Accelerator anime, adapting the Daihasei Festival and the Dream Ranker arcs. Along with Index, the anime is being licensed by Funimation entertainment, with Crunchyroll also providing a simulcast for the third season.There's a video game based on Railgun, Toaru Kagaku No Railgun for the Playstation Portable. An English translation was released in 2022.This series shares a character sheet with A Certain Magical Index.Also, check out the franchise's other spinoff, A Certain Scientific Accelerator.Has a recap page.A Note on TimelinesRailgun takes place during the same time period as Index, and their respective timelines interleave with one another. The details differ somewhat between the manga/light novels and the anime.The manga's events begin two weeks before the first Index novel. As it stands, Chapters 18 to 39 occur around the time of Volume 3 in the novels, Chapter 40 is around Volume 5, Chapters 41-42 and around volume 8, Chapters 43 to 70 take place around Volume 9, and Chapters 71 to 97 spans around Volumes 10 to 16.In the anime, the timeline is similar but with some slight differences. A few scenes note (including Kongou's introduction) from Volume 8 of the Index novels (which were not in the Index anime) are placed in the Railgun anime's first episode (thus moving them ahead by a couple of months). Otherwise, roughly speaking:

Urban Legends: Episode 4 shows us that there are a few of these around. The Undressing Woman and the ability to nullify other abilities are... well the former is shown in the episode and the other is obviously Touma, so those two are confirmed. There are others though. Goes further than that. Heck, the entire plot of the Railgun anime is based on these. From the Level Upper to Someone's Watching in the OVA. This actually goes for both seasons of the anime.

Heroic BSoD: Mikoto suffers a bad one after she failed to save Misaka 9982 from being killed, and almost got killed herself by Accelerator and spends a night moping about it until she decides to destroy the Research Centers involved in the Level 6 Experiment. Unfortunately, it was all in vain when she learns Academy City can replace those labs as many times they want making her return to her BSOD state. And it got worse when she finds her only lead to help stop the plan, the Tree Diagram satellite, was revealed to be destroyed. Kuroko suffers a minor one in Episode 11 of season 2 when Uiharu and Saten both mention that Mikoto's recent behaviors such as not eating much and sneaking off at night is due to her secretly meeting a boyfriend. The shocked look on her face doesn't change for several scenes, and she ends up putting too many sugar cubes into her drink. She suffered this again in Episode 17 of Railgun T, but for comedy purposes.

All There in the Manual: If you aren't reading Index and the side stories, you'll have no idea why Kuroko was in the hospital during the festival, what Mikoto's bet with 'him' is or why Saten thinks a complete stranger looks a little familiar, nor why the stranger helps her. If you have read all that stuff though you can catch the continuity nods and use them to piece together a timeline, which would otherwise be difficult if the stories were more separated.

We finally learn what Uiharu's power is in Episode 22 and it's... "temperature regulation of objects she touches." Consider Uiharu is only Level 1. Now, consider the deeper physical implications of keeping an object's temperature "at will". Put in other words, this is "negation of entropy". This might be what allows her to keep the flowerbed on her head always fresh, and if she had as much creative spirit as Mikoto with electricity, think of the possibilities.

Green-Eyed Monster: This was a main motivator for the STUDY group in the second half of season 2. No matter how smart or accomplished they were, in Academy City, espers always got the bigger spotlight. The main leader of their group was noted to be an brilliant scientist, but in a Flash Back showing him talking to a group in an auditorium, there were in fact very few people there. So his group intended to create wholly artificial beings with esper-like powers with the intention of mass producing them and rendering normal espers obsolete.

When Therestina, in her giant robot, is chasing Mikoto, she says that her railgun has a range of 50 meters. Mikoto then tells her that coins are not the only thing she can shoot, and proves it by shooting the robot's own detached claw, which must have weighed at least as much as her, at the robot. It could also count as a Power Limiter.

Of course, fans said the same thing about Mikoto when she allowed Therestina to take Harumi's students away. What's jarring is the fact Mikoto knows Harumi very well but still thinks she really is the bad guy despite what she's doing wasn't on purpose. Guess what happens to the students? Mikoto, it should be noted, agrees with this sentiment.

For Great Justice: The Liberal Arts City had been implied to have captured espers and experiment on them, as well as get rid of people who snoop using Secret Police, control information, and other various things to create their own espers using a different method from Academy City, based off the magicians attacking them for this reason. They claim it's so they wouldn't be behind the times as the "World Police" since it's possible that espers would become common place in the future, but they were just as bad as Academy City's For Science!!

Chekhov's Gun: Episode 4: in a list of "urban legends", the Level Upper is mentioned. Similarly, closeups of criminals' mp3 players are seen as far back as the first episode, eventually it is revealed that the Level Upper is actually a sound file that one can listen to. Episode 12: The camera focuses to a group of 4 girls at a restaurant and a mysterious lady who likes Margery Daw at the nuclear power plant. Remember Episode 17? The one featuring a mysterious girl whose pendant has a picture of a certain scientist's student and the earthquake that happened in that episode? Guess who's the new transfer student at Uiharu's school and what the members of Anti-Skill and Judgment are talking about in episode 20? Remember the Capacity Down? Yeah, we get to know who built it, and see it in use again. The girl who Mikoto sees in a dream in Episode 18 of the third season tells of an upcoming threat. Guess what? It became relevant later on, as we see he again and her issues with the Doppelganger.

comment
Adaptation Expansion: The anime gives more character development to the cast from the Railgun manga and even explains more details about Academy City and the people who live there. Furthermore, It continues where Level Upper arc left off and gives it a proper end. The entire series is essentially this, especially Railgun's version of the Sisters arc, which explains Mikoto's struggles against the Level 6 Experiment in more detail compared to the Index version. It also shows a more introspective side of Accelerator, which makes his Heel–Face Turn more understandable.

First Time in the Sun: Mad Scientist Nunotaba Shinobu brought one of the Misaka Sisters to the rooftop of the facility. The Misaka clone expressed all-too-human awe of the sunset (sunrise?) and the many new sensory inputs that she experiences. This event led Shinobu to stop being a Mad Scientist.

Only Sane Woman: Yoshikawa berates her fellow scientists over wasting their time figuring out what type of panties Mikoto wear so they could make the Sister clones wear the same panties when they only need the cheap discount panties she bought for them. Even the Supercomputer Tree Diagram thought their idea was stupid. On a similar note Chapter 43 of the Railgun manga Lampshades Mikoto as "the only sane Level 5".

Unknown Rival: Misaka to Touma, as she thinks his Imagine Breaker is the sign of immense power. It isn't helped by the fact that his nonchalant attitude towards her and her power hurts her pride. Kuroko also considers herself Touma's rival for Misaka's affections, not that he would ever notice.

Mikoto attacks him shortly after the first sister battle in Episode 6 of Season 2. Like the sister, virtually all of her attacks have no effect on him, and its likely he would have just killed here right there were it not for her Plot Armor as well as the arrival of multiple sisters intervening and telling him not to attack her which would disrupt the experiment.

More Dakka: Episode 24 is filled with this trope. Kongou shoots down two armed helicopters by blasting a truck into them. Kuroko arms herself with an ammo belt of needles and spams them into the MAR mechs Grenade launchers. Mikoto fights against Therestina's Giant Mech. When coins can't penetrate the mech's armor, she summons Kuroko to send one of the mech's fist to her and use it to blow the mech to smithereens. Mikoto's Railgun versus Therestina's portable Railgun. When both blast their railguns which are equal in power, Mikoto overcomes Therestina by firing in full power and blasting her into a wall.

Have to just chalk it up to skill plus Rule of Cool.

Gratuitous English: As partially explained in the main entry under Alternate Character Reading, all the Gratuitous English skill names and terms are simply readings assigned to that name/term's kanji. eg. Anti-Skill (kanji reads Guardsmen), Dummy Check, Imagine Breaker (kanji reads Illusion/Fantasy Killer), Judgment (kanji reads Disciplinary Committee), Skill-out, AIM (kanji reads No Awareness). Also the English terms "Level Zero", "Level One", etc. are used for the super power levels.

Theme Music Power-Up: During the final part of the fight with the AIM Burst. Happens twice in Episode 24, when Mikoto takes down Therestina's Humongous Mecha with a huge Railgun attack and then when she defeats Therestina herself after Saten destroys Capacity Down. This happens four times during Episode 24 of Railgun S (Season 2), with "sister's noise" playing during Judgment's battle with the Power Suits, then "eternal reality" playing during more Big Damn Heroes, "future gazer" playing during Shinobu and the Misaka Sisters Big Damn Heroes moment and lastly "LEVEL5 -judgelight-" playing as Misaka intercepts the ICBM.

The girls find notes from the studies done on Kimi Shundan when she was a child. Uiharu points out that the researchers seemed to know in advance that she would be the "ninth Level 5," which confuses everyone. This references both the Parameter List (several of the current Levels 5s, such as Mikoto, were still lower-level then) and the fact that it's been previously implied that Awaki Musujime had the potential to reach level 5 before her Teleporter Accident.

Trailers Always Lie: The first opening of season 2 shows Mikoto fighting ITEM, with a few details wrong. Some are minor (such as wearing her school uniform instead of civilian clothes), while others are much more major—namely, being helped in the fight by Kuroko and Touma. Likewise, the second opening of Season 3 depicts Mikoto battling the Doppeganger's fake copies, with once again a few details wrong, such as wearing her school uniform instead of civilian clothes and the fake copies fighting back, which actually did not do in the episode depicting it, especially episode 24.

comment
Character Development: Mikoto started as an idealist but later becomes an understanding realist when she learns not everyone has the will and effort to become a higher level esper and learns to respect and be sensitive to other people's feelings especially the Level Upper users like Saten. But then it gets bad when she becomes a unbalance cynical, Stepford Smiler during the Sister arc. Things got much worse and then she got better. Saten start as a cheerful Genki Girl despite being a Level 0. As the series progress, she gets jealous and envies her other friends who have powers which lead her to use Level Upper to finally get one but at the price of getting into a coma. After waking up from her coma and realizing there are somethings more important than powers, she becomes proud of being who she is and resolves to work harder to get the powers she had under Level Upper, the right way.

Foregone Conclusion
 A Certain Scientific Railgun (Manga) / int_3bc88a7f
comment
Foregone Conclusion: The Sister's Arc in Railgun, since its events was already shown in Index. However, this time it shows the events from Mikoto's perspective, and we see what she was doing during this arc, which had only been hinted at in Index. On a more lighter note, during the Dream Ranker Arc Mikoto and Saiai discover that there is an Indian Poker card with the secrets behind the Bust Upper. Given that Index is further down the timeline and their figures remained the same it is obvious that something will keep the two from getting to use the card.

 A Certain Scientific Railgun (Manga) / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: Mikoto is usually on the giving end of these, although during her first fight with Therestina, she's on the receiving end of one. Also played straight with Mikoto vs Touma fights. In one battle, she grabs his right hand and attempts to electrocute him like she's done to many other opponents. Except that it doesn't work due to his special power, and Touma makes a fist. However, the pitiful look on Mikoto's face along with her attempt to block his punch causes him to lie on the ground and declare her the winner. Which she doesn't take very well either, even after he points out why he purposely "lost" the fight.

In Railgun T, Episode 19, Ruiko gets taken hostage to extract information from her regarding the Tweezers.

Oh, by the way 9982, don't forget to clean up the half dozen bloody corpses of your sisters before you change into the uniform, or you're just going to have to do it again. Toodles!

Inverse Law of Complexity to Power: The level 5's of the world seem to have very broad powers. Misaka boasts power over electricity, while Accelerator has control over all physical vectors. Lesser espers have abilities like Jufuku Miho's Dummy Check, which simply makes her less noticeable to those around her.

Gory Discretion Shot: When Accelerator is seen fighting a sister onscreen for the first time in Episode 5 of Season 2, he rips one of her legs off. The camera follows the leg as its brought upwards, but it largely tries not to show the lower portion of her body after this scene so as to minimize the gore. As the sister slowly crawls away from him, she reaches for the Gekota pin Mikoto put on her earlier, followed very shortly by him dropping a train car on top of her, and a pool of blood flowing from under the train. Also another example involving Accelerator. When he cornered a sister in a back alley, he decides to kill her by reversing the direction of her blood flow. If you understand how the human body works (veins and arteries are specifically designed to not allow blood to flow backwards at all costs), you would know the resultant blood splat which covered the camera was actually doing us a huge favor. Subverted in Railgun T, Episode 14, where Touma's severed arm is fully shown.

Power Perversion Potential: Kuroko has used her ability to spy on, take pictures of, cop a feel of, and even strip Misaka of her underwear. Yeah, the potential for teleportation's misuse has been touched upon. There is also Kuroko's reaction to being electrocuted by Misaka, but that is more to do with Kuroko than some of the uses of electricity. Konori uses her X-ray vision to peek under Kuroko's clothes while the latter is hospitalized in the third season. Granted, she's (ostensibly) only checking out Kuroko's injuries, but Kuroko's embarrassed reaction suggests the latter sees it as this trope. Konori's teasing smirk doesn't help.

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Esper powers affect reality based on their users' internal reality. According to the pseudoscience of the series, if a Schrödinger's cat experiment was set up, espers would find the cat in the state that they believed it to be, because they believed strongly enough that the cat was that way. Hypnosis, brainwashing and drugs are used to throw the subjects internal reality out of whack. So, it might be argued that the strongest espers like Mikoto and Accelerator are the most stubbornly out of touch with the reality normal people live in.

Obliviously Evil: The researchers in charge of the Sisters program are implied to be fairly normal people who simply don't see the Sisters as being human. The analogy used is like sacrificing guinea pigs to cure cancer: You can do it because you don't believe you're committing murder, but rather making a small sacrifice for a greater good. A few of the researchers have better moral compasses, but they're outnumbered and powerless. It doesn't help the reason why they are trying to make a Level 6 in the first place is to further the plans of Aleister Crowley, the ultimate Big Bad of the entire Raildex verse.

The true purpose of the "Level Upper" is simply to harness the combined mental power of 10,000 espers as a super-computer substitute; this has the side effects of temporarily increasing the participants' powers (through leaked experiences) and granting the mastermind All Your Powers Combined but later sends the users into a coma.

What Measure Is a Mook?: Mikoto struggles with this in Episode 6 of season 2 after learning that her clones are just being used as guinea pigs to try and increase Accelerator's power. She tells Shinobu that she's just opposing the program on principal for stealing her DNA map under false pretenses, and doesn't care about the clones. When Accelerator asks her a similar question later, she says the clones are her sisters, and it's her job to protect them. Later in the same arc, Touma also feels that despite there being many sisters, each one is unique and therefore shouldn't be senselessly killed off. He puts a stop to the project by taking down the Level 5 Accelerator, despite being a Level 0 himself.

In the first episode of the third season, one of the Sisters give Mikoto a cake-in-a-jar from the store, in which she gives it to Kuroko at the end of the episode. The last episode shows Mikoto buying the same cake-in-a-jar and giving it to her Sister.

Immune to Mind Control: Misaka and Accelerator thanks to the EMP Reflecting Fields they are constantly emanating. Or to be more precise, Misaka is constantly emitting an EM-field that blocks Misaki's mind control powers. Accelerator just reflects everything by default, including other esper-powers and even people trying to talk to him. The only thing he doesn't reflect by default is light, since even someone as powerful as him needs to be able to see where he is.

I Am Not Left-Handed: When Therestina, in her giant robot, is chasing Mikoto, she says that her railgun has a range of 50 meters. Mikoto then tells her that coins are not the only thing she can shoot, and proves it by shooting the robot's own detached claw, which must have weighed at least as much as her, at the robot. It could also count as a Power Limiter. On a more general note, any time a Level 5 doesn't instantly vaporize their enemy, they were holding back.

Fantastic Racism: Though everyone in Academy City is treated with equal rights in theory, in practice your chances of getting passed over for jobs, universities and all other opportunities in life steadily increases the lower your Power Level gets. Well meaning Level 5's such as Mikoto try to reassure their "lesser" peers with ultimately hollow mantras of "Do your best!! Your power level doesn't matter!!" oblivious to the fact that certain people are simply born incapable of crossing certain hurdles no matter how hard they try. Naturally, this breeds intensely bitter resentment, especially amongst the Level 0's of the city's population; ripe for exploitation by people like Professor Kiyama Harumi through schemes like the "Level Upper" incident... Scientists such as Therestina and the rest of the Kihara Family don't even treat espers as humans; merely test subjects for their experiments.

Hero of Another Story: Anti-Skill, Academy City's real police force. Despite the fact that always seem to be 10 seconds too late to help Kuroko arrest criminals, or stop Misaka from using them as a lightning rod, they really are useful at times, and actually have a bit of a cavalry / The Rest Shall Pass moment when they disobey orders and keep Telastina's mook army occupied during the highway duel. This can also be applied to Touma, who is literally the hero of the ''other' story. Most of the time he will show up just walking in the background, and a few times he encourages Misaka, or points out how stupid she's being, there are occasions when he becomes The Cavalry and saves her from various threats, ranging from exploding balls of aluminum, or just the son of the head of her school. She hasn't the slightest idea that he actually gets into life or death situations like the Sisters arc all the time.

The main plot in the first half of the anime centers around a "Level Upper", which turns out to be an audio file. It works by synaesthesia, using sound alone to manipulate all of the senses at once—not, sadly, The Power of Rock—in order to effect an increase in power by networking the users together and sharing their powers with each other. Unfortunately, its users inevitably fall into comas. Here's the audiofile itself.

The entire series is essentially this, especially Railgun's version of the Sisters arc, which explains Mikoto's struggles against the Level 6 Experiment in more detail compared to the Index version. It also shows a more introspective side of Accelerator, which makes his Heel–Face Turn more understandable.

comment
Art Major Physics: In reality, lightning travels extremely fast (about 92,000 miles per second, or 148,000 kilometers per second) so dodging or blocking Misaka's attacks should probably be out of the question. That's just the first one. This series isn't about the clash of Magic and Science, but the clash of Magic and Techno Babble. Given that it opens with acknowledged psychic powers, you should really expect that sort of thing. Misaka's odd ability to completely ignore the shockwave and recoil of firing her "Railgun" out of her hand, which should at the least rupture her eardrums(if not outright kill her) and shatter the bones of her arm every time she uses the power. Also, Misaka herself comments on the fact that she is limiting her power just so they can get a reading in the first episode. The people administering the test are probably too scared by her power to notice anything odd. Justified - the entire premise of esper powers is that espers can subconsciously alter reality and substitute their own rules into it, and they accomplish this by performing millions of complex calculations per second. Some do this faster than others, with Misaka Mikoto being stated to be faster at said calculations than a super-computer. Some of the espers' abilities are outright stated in the manga to not work or be plain dangerous to the user, if the user can't concentrate on the calculations required. Examples include Kuroko's Teleportation, which in the best case doesn't work at all, and in the worst case could put her right in front of a speeding car, inside a wall or far enough up in the air that she would be injured when landing.

Brought Down to Normal: Mikoto suffers this briefly in Episode 4 of Season 1 in her first real fight against Touma. She tries various attacks, only for Touma to cancel every single one of them, then tries zapping him directly by grabbing his right hand. Unfortunately for her, his right hand cancels out her power. When they both realize she's helpless, Touma makes a fist with his left hand, and she flinches in anticipation for his punch. But seeing how pathetic she looked, he decides against hitting her, and lays on the ground pretending to be beaten. She appreciated the gesture.

She tells Shinobu that she's just opposing the program on principal for stealing her DNA map under false pretenses, and doesn't care about the clones. When Accelerator asks her a similar question later, she says the clones are her sisters, and it's her job to protect them.

The Reveal: We finally learn what Uiharu's power is in Episode 22 and it's... "temperature regulation of objects she touches." Consider Uiharu is only Level 1. Now, consider the deeper physical implications of keeping an object's temperature "at will". Put in other words, this is "negation of entropy". This might be what allows her to keep the flowerbed on her head always fresh, and if she had as much creative spirit as Mikoto with electricity, think of the possibilities. There's also the Queen of Tokiwadai's name and face, finally revealed after being in hiding for 20+ volumes in the novels. The United States is fully aware of Academy City's true technological prowess, including the fact that it has a military.

Serious Business: In Railgun, a team of top scientists spending an entire omake chapter speculating on what kind of panties Mikoto wears under her shorts, even sending a special ops team in a (thwarted) attempt to steal them. In Episode 4 of season two, Misaka spends quite a bit of money to get a label pin of Gekota. After not finding it in the first vending machine, she takes the kids she was playing with to another one, and finally manages to get one, although she immediately realizes she can't wear it openly on her clothing without looking like an immature kid.

All Myths Are True
 A Certain Scientific Railgun (Manga) / int_776a06eb
comment
All Myths Are True: The urban legends talked about in Episode 4 all turn out to actually be true, including the Imaginary Numbers District, Toma's Imagine Breaker and the Level Upper. As it turns out, the rumors about money cards being spread out in Academy City's side alleys and someone with Mikoto's face running around when Mikoto can prove she's somewhere else also turn out to be true. As do Saten's rumors about Indian Poker and even the "Goalkeeper", a mysterious hacker nobody knows the identity of, who turns out to be her closest friend. Bust Upper, first brought up in Railgun SS 1, in which it makes breasts bigger, became true in a form of an Indian Poker card that Mikoto and Kinuhata fought with, but was given to a girl instead by coincidence. Subverted with the 'Soul Diffusion' theory. Turns out that the Doppelganger does not actually possess any material that she absorbs, instead those are actually done by mixture of artificial muscles and mold that she can manipulate. Indeed, no occult involved.

Adaptation Explanation Extrication: During the Level Upper Arc, the manga has the scene where Mikoto is trying to get information out of the delinquents at the restaurant being interrupted by Touma, leading to the chase and confrontation on the bridge between him and Mikoto as seen in the prologue of the very first novel of Index. In the anime, the restaurant scene is instead interrupted by 'Big Sister', causing a fight between her and Mikoto. Though Touma is Adapted Out for this scene, the timeline still matches up with Index since Mikoto ends up causing a blackout in both versions anyway.

Mikoto's side of the Sisters arc. Oh look, Mikoto is playing with some kids! Cut to her clone cleaning up a room filled with another dozen murdered MISAKAs. Isn't it adorable, seeing Mikoto and her clone behaving like real sisters? Then Misaka 9982 gets brutally murdered by Accelerator. The anime is worse than the manga in this regard, since in addition to Mikoto's cute scenes, the plot also cuts to Saten, Uiharu, and Kuroko's Slice of Life antics in the middle of otherwise dramatic episodes.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 A Certain Scientific Railgun (Manga) / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Mikoto gives some advice to Saten telling her that levels aren't important in life yet she is quietly offended by this since Mikoto's a Level 5 while she's a Level 0. Mikoto realizes the consequence of what she said when she learns Saten fell into a coma using Level Upper and the AIM Burst begins broadcasting the collective thoughts of all 10,000 Level Upper users: I Just Want to Be Special. Mikoto led Therestina Kihara Lifeline straight to Harumi's lab and the Child Errors who are indirectly responsible for the Poltergeist incidents. As luck would have it, she takes after her grandfather just like his son did.

Breather Episode
 A Certain Scientific Railgun (Manga) / int_80a247a9
comment
Breather Episode: The Beach Episode in Episode 13 provides a much-needed break after the close of the Level Upper arc. Episode 19 is Lighter and Softer compared to the final arc in the first season that immediately follows it. Episode 7 of season 2. Although Misaka starts attacking labs that were responsible for the Sisters Project, it largely takes place offscreen, and instead the focus is on Kuroko, Saten, and Uiharu. Subverted with Episode 11 of Season 2. It starts out as one, with Mikoto kicking the vending machine that ate Touma's 2,000 yen bill, but then Mikoto sees yet another Misaka sister, who informs her that the project is still ongoing, and that one took place that morning. She doesn't take it very well when she learns there are at least 183 other facilities which are now involved with the sister's project. Episode 17 of Season 2, which focuses on a hotpot party with the four main girls, with Mikoto running into Frenda and Mugino in a family restaurant. That encounter, while not exactly friendly, is on a very comedic level as Kuroko and Frenda get into a heated argument about whether Mikoto or Mugino would win in a fight, with both girls inadvertently revealing embarrassing details about the two. Railgun T, Episode 18: The whole Bust Upper incident surrounding Mikoto and Kinuhata trying to get the card. The dreams themselves are hilarious and are much needed breather for the upcoming episodes. Subverted though when Mikoto encounters Ryouko via Indian Poker, with a warning to an upcoming threat.

 A Certain Scientific Railgun (Manga) / int_82ff8b68
comment
Artistic License – Animal Care: While Mitsuko is shown to care a lot for Ekaterina, her pet python, it is implied she feeds it live food, which is generally considered to be a bad idea since the snake can get either attacked by the prey or die from a stomach rupture when the prey is too large. The anime fixes this in Episode 17 of S where the rats she buys are dead and in vacuum-sealed packages.

Mikoto started as an idealist but later becomes an understanding realist when she learns not everyone has the will and effort to become a higher level esper and learns to respect and be sensitive to other people's feelings especially the Level Upper users like Saten. But then it gets bad when she becomes a unbalance cynical, Stepford Smiler during the Sister arc. Things got much worse and then she got better.

Eldritch Abomination: The AIM Burst creature after people have been shooting it, causing it to grow and deform, most notably Squick developing eyes in random places. Once half of the Doppelganger gets destroyed, she starts to absorb any objects around her, 'possessing' them and gets regenerated if they got destroyed as well, resulting to become a kaiju-sized threat. That's not all, once the monster gets destroyed, abominations of the Doppelganger come out. Creepy, isn't it?

Wham Episode: In Episode 4 of season 2, when Misaka runs into one of the sisters for the first time. Then after the credits roll, the two scientists preparing another sister tells her to clean up the mess in a room, which has several dead sisters in it. In Episode 5 of season two, Misaka learns about the Level 6 Shift, and arrives too late to save her sister Misaka 9982. Accelerator kills her before her eyes. Chapter 61 of the manga and Episode 10 of Railgun T anime. The "Exterior" Misaki mentioned before turns out to be a cloned portion of her brain grown to gargantuan proportions, designed to allow anyone to use her power. Gensei Kihara hijacks it and uses it to force Mikoto to join the MISAKA Network and undergo the Level 6 Shift. Chapter 64 and Railgun T Episode 12 confirms that Mikoto can reach Level 6, and if she does, she'll not only die, but take the entire city out with her. Chapter 106 reveals one of Touma's dragons is somehow being controlled by a criminal esper.

The normal ending theme is dropped for a dramatic "Pan Up to the Sky" Ending and fast, rolling credits. Chapter 61 of the manga, Episode 10 of Railgun T anime: Gensei Kihara forces the power of the MISAKA Network into Mikoto, causing her to transform into a vaguely demonic form and ending the chapter and episode with the line, "Now, let the experiment begin; Can Misaka-kun reach Level 6?" Railgun T, Episode 23: The episode ends with the Doppelganger creating a kaiju-sized monstrosity in order to crush Mikoto.

Hivemind: The true purpose of the "Level Upper" is simply to harness the combined mental power of 10,000 espers as a super-computer substitute; this has the side effects of temporarily increasing the participants' powers (through leaked experiences) and granting the mastermind All Your Powers Combined but later sends the users into a coma. And of course, the SISTERS' hivemind also makes an appearance here.

Art-Shifted Sequel: The Sisters' eyes in the original first two seasons of A Certain Magical Index are blank and lacking in the detailed reflectiveness of the other characters' eyes, so as to distinguish them from the original Misaka. When the Sisters arc is shown from Misaka's perspective in the second season, their eyes are drawn as normally as the original's, with only their trademark goggles to visually distinguish them.

Appeal to Audacity: Spark Signal initially mistakes Misaka, Kiyoshi, and Ruri for criminal contacts and gets into a fight with them. Eventually Ruri gets a chance to clarify that she is a Judgement Officer (a sort of police force consisting of student volunteers). Even after she shows her Judgement armband, one of the Spark Signal members refuses to believe her story, since shes a scantily-clad Gyaru Girl. Ruri is able to convince them by pointing out that if she was really trying to impersonate a Judgement officer then she wouldn't be dressed like that.

comment
Crippling Overspecialization: Crippling Overspecialization: In the prison break arc, a newly opened private prison for espers holds a promotion where they invite anyone, particularly espers, to try and break out a "prisoner". If anyone wins they'll be given 1 billion yen, but the prison doesn't expect to pay it. Mitori, who has been to prison before, notices the design of the prison is rather strange. Jailbreakers come in many forms with many different skills. Normally, a prison would have a wide variety of different security features so multiple skillsets are needed to break through. Outside of some AIM jammers and the outer wall, all of the prisons security is automated electronics, they didn't even post actual guards (though that last bit is only for the promotion). In other words, its great at keeping out espers, but would be completely defenseless against a sufficiently skilled hacker. Indeed, Playful Hacker Uihara is able to waltz through it without any resistance. This ends up being justified, an employee at the prison hijacked the promotion to stage a real jailbreak and identify a skilled hacker.

Foreshadowing: In the manga Kiyama gives a hint to Mikoto over where she got the idea to create Level Upper. The origin of that idea? The Sisters project. Skipped in Railgun anime which is switched to Therestina telling Mikoto everyone in Academy City is a guinea pig to reach Level 6. Remember some of those Urban Legends the girls were talking at Episode 4? They hint about what's going to happen in the Index anime. In the first episode of the second season, Mikoto has a very brief flashback to when she gave her DNA map to the researchers. This is explained in the next episode.

In season one episode seventeen of the anime, during the Day in the Limelight for bumbling Antiskill part-timer Tessou-sensei, her acquaintance small-stature pink-haired Komoe-sensei gives an opinion on everyday life in Academy city, casually shocking her by mentioning that some troublemaker students blew the roof off her house once. This references the Index series, where the Living MacGuffin Index had a kind of a magical leash on her removed thanks to Touma's efforts, but not before one of protection magic layers produced a pillar of light, blasting through the roof. Oh, and through the "Tree Diagram" supercomputer satellite, too. Episode 20 shows Mii on the computer, and next to it is a bin, overflowing with milk cartons. Remember that? Episode 19 helps explain why the Tokiwadai Dorm supervisor in Index is different from the one in Railgun, explaining there are in fact 2 Tokiwadai dorms. Remember Episode 18 when Uiharu's & Saten's teacher wanted to propose to the teacher from Cypress Park? Guess what's on his hand in Episode 20. In Episode 15, everyone except Kuroko still haven't forgotten that Saten used Level Upper. In Episode 6, we see a girl who is suspected of being the Graviton Bomber. She isn't. We meet her again, during the special classes for the Level Upper users. Several characters from the Railgun anime appeared in the manga like Erii and that female gangster Mikoto fought. A minor one. The Judgment member who saved a girl from the Graviton Bomb by knocking her down and protecting her with his own body was an instant hit with the fans. We later found out in the manga that he's dating her. Good job Hero! Chapter 43 references Misaka's experiences during the Someone's Watching incident of the OVA, which was cut in the anime due to those scenes being altered. The Railgun manga has many nods towards the side stories. In Chapter 43 (Railgun T, Episode 1), Mikoto is mentioned to have experience doing demonstrations in Russia (Shopping Mall Demonstration SS), in Chapter 44.5 (Railgun T Episode 2), a disguised Xochitl runs into and remember Saten from the Liberal Arts City SS, and even more subtly, in Chapter 42 Saten makes an offhand comment about how the jeans she ordered from England haven't arrived yet (Norse Mythology SS). Episodes 19 and 20 of Railgun T serve as a prelude to the events of 15th Index novel, as Saten befriends Frenda and later runs afoul of of SCHOOL as SCHOOL is hunting Indian Poker cards that contain information on the Tweezers. The girls find notes from the studies done on Kimi Shundan when she was a child. Uiharu points out that the researchers seemed to know in advance that she would be the "ninth Level 5," which confuses everyone. This references both the Parameter List (several of the current Levels 5s, such as Mikoto, were still lower-level then) and the fact that it's been previously implied that Awaki Musujime had the potential to reach level 5 before her Teleporter Accident.

comment
Filler: Because there were only 4 manga volumes of Railgun at that time and the Sisters arc was still ongoing, filler episodes were created after the first arc in the Railgun anime to fill in its 24 episode slot. The second season gets another filler arc because the manga was again in the middle of an arc. However, the anime arcs do seem to be retroactively canon. There are also more isolated moments of padding, such as an episode devoted to looking for clovers and an odd focus on the main girls wandering around eating random things and talking about girly things. Averted in the third season, although filler scenes are still present from time to time.

Mundanger: What made the tragedy of Professor Kiyama Harumi so easy to relate to for adult audiences is the very human fear in every mother that society would hurt, betray and take their beloved children away from them. This infuses her quest to save her students, extreme measures notwithstanding, with a sad and admirable nobility that you can't help but root for.

Intimate Lotion Application: The anime original episode 13 has a Heat Wave hit Academy City and Kuroka gets outraged that Mikoto hasn't put any sunscreen in her body to protect herself. She quickly volunteers to do the task, but Mikoto can clearly see Kuroka also has perverted intentions in mind, and refuses the offer. Later when they pose as swimsuit models in a virtual room, it's a Running Gag to see Kuroko chasing after Mikoto to rub sunscreen on her in the background.

Mikoto again in Episode 6 of Season 2, when she learns that the scientists who used her DNA simply cloned copies of her to die in battle against Accelerator, instead of helping others as they originally led her to believe.

Doomed by Canon: Viewers who have seen the first season of A Certain Magical Index will already know a few of the plot points and events that happen in Season 2 of this show, which focuses on the Sisters' arc. See Foregone Conclusion for further information. During the events of the Dream Ranker Arc in the third season (specifically Episodes 19 and 20), Saten ends up befriending Frenda, with the budding friendship cut short by Frenda's death in the 15th Index novel. Saten ends up Locked Out of the Loop, wondering what happened to Frenda. The above subplot also introduced Yumiya Rakko, the original sniper for the organization SCHOOL. While she survives her defeat at the hands of Frenda, the events of the Battle Royale arc are already nearing, where is it stated she would be killed.

Indirect Kiss: Kuroko becomes elated at the prospect of getting a bite of something after Mikoto and later freaks out when Mikoto and Saten innocently spoon-feed each other samples of their ice-cream. Kuroko desperately asks for equal treatment, but Mikoto refuses—after all, didn't they order the same thing?. Kuroko gets the same flavor of crepe as Mikoto in an effort to get more intimate with her, and is horrified when Mikoto shares a bite with someone who got a different flavor.

Mood Whiplash: Mikoto's side of the Sisters arc. Oh look, Mikoto is playing with some kids! Cut to her clone cleaning up a room filled with another dozen murdered MISAKAs. Isn't it adorable, seeing Mikoto and her clone behaving like real sisters? Then Misaka 9982 gets brutally murdered by Accelerator. The anime is worse than the manga in this regard, since in addition to Mikoto's cute scenes, the plot also cuts to Saten, Uiharu, and Kuroko's Slice of Life antics in the middle of otherwise dramatic episodes. Actually averted in one specific instance: Episode 5 of Season 2 ends on a very dark cliffhanger, which would jar with the fun and upbeat ending theme. They solved that problem by simply not having an ending theme that episode.

Ascended Extra: Saten and Uiharu are fairly minor characters in the manga, neither of whom is particularly close to Mikoto. While they were prominent in the Level Upper arc, they largely faded from view after that apart from occasional cameos. Even Kuroko doesn't have nearly as many appearances in the manga as she does in the anime. Uiharu and Saten do become relevant during the Jailbreak arc, however, with Uiharu actually beating Mikoto to "free" the prisoner, simply by using her hacking-skills, followed by Uiharu being abducted by the arc's villain for said hacking-skills.

Karma Houdini: Accelerator.

Although there are a few people who don't forgive him quite that fast, even the remaining 9969 Misaka Sisters and Last Order seem to have completely forgiven him for what he did.

Fortunately, Ruiko Saten was on the fire escape and caught the flung hostage before she could fall. And when the added weight started to prove to be more than she could handle, she and the hostage were teleported to the roof by Kuroko Shirai leaning out the window.

No-Sell: The first Misaka sister seen fighting Accelerator onscreen in Episode 5 of Season 2 tries an experiment in which she sets off a landmine in an attempt to get through his barrier. While it does blow up, a few moments later he walks through unharmed. Mikoto attacks him shortly after the first sister battle in Episode 6 of Season 2. Like the sister, virtually all of her attacks have no effect on him, and its likely he would have just killed here right there were it not for her Plot Armor as well as the arrival of multiple sisters intervening and telling him not to attack her which would disrupt the experiment. Kamijou's Imagine Breaker stops coins traveling at 1300m/s, lightning bolts, remotely controlled iron sand shaped into the shape of a chainsaw-whip and even highly concentrated energy beams (as in essentially lasers) fired at him by Misaka Mikoto. It also negates any other supernatural ability, as seen when he's the only person who can punch the crap out of Accelerator, by negating his vector manipulation, or when Kuroko tries to teleport Kamijou out of the dorm but can't, because she can't teleport his hand, and she can only teleport entire people or objects.

Arbitrary Weapon Range: Even used as a plot point, the title-named character's signature move seems to go from "would wreck a tank" to "bounce off harmlessly" exactly at 50 metres. The exact number is artistic license, but it instantly going from lethal to harmless is justified due to the coin melting. In the first Railgun SS, the melted remains of the coin still manage to damage her target since it was close enough for them to barely reach it.

Retcon: The events of the Level Upper arc in the anime took place two weeks before the 1st Index novel which the latest manga chapters confirms. In the 12th novel of Index Mikoto greets Uiharu with "You are Uiharu Kazari, right?" as if they had only met once or twice before. Odd considering that they spent the whole summer solving cases together. This was of course before the Railgun manga (and their adventures together) was published. In an omake in the 4th Volume of Railgun this is explained as Mikoto just having forgotten Uiharu's first name. The omake is even called "Matching consistency." Lampshaded in A Certain Scientific Railgun ch 56.5, in regards to the movie and the Endymion Space Elevator.

 A Certain Scientific Railgun (Manga) / int_b707726f
comment
Hypocritical Humor: Kuroko berates Kiyama for undressing in public as it's immoral yet Kuroko will do the same things to Mikoto. Also done by Mikoto chastising Kiyama's heading off into danger, alone. This one's lampshaded immediately by Kuroko and Saten. Mikoto laughs at Touma for losing 2,000 yen to a vending machine, but then quietly mentions to herself that the same machine ate a 10,000 yen bill from her. To be fair, 2000 yen bills are rare, whereas 10000 yen bills are pretty common. Kamijou's bad luck in this case has more to do with him having to use such a rare bill, and less to do with the actual monetary value of said bill.

Mirror Character: Kiyama and Mikoto. Both of them are good people who became cynical due to the fact those they loved were screwed by the corrupt Academy City administration (for Kiyama is was her students, for Mikoto her clone sisters) and both of them could not fight them as they were powerless against the administration. Though as shown in the "sequel" Index, Mikoto eventually grows out of said-bitterness. And thankfully both of them got their Happy Ending.

comment
Hope Spot: A few in Season 2: Mikoto finds out about a project to clone her... only to discover moments later that it was canceled. She misses the part where it was repurposed for something far worse. Shinobu attempts to upload emotions to the Misaka Sisters Network, in the hope that they would start to refuse orders, and ultimately be freed from the project. Unfortunately, Last Order blocks said command from being executed, and Shinobu is knocked unconscious and taken away before being able to do anything else. Shortly after Mikoto destroys the second to last lab involved in the Sisters Project, and finds out that the company behind the last one has declared bankruptcy. She thinks that she's finally set them free and allowed to live as they wish. But the lab managed to outsource the data, and now there are dozens more working on the project. No matter how many Mikoto destroys, there will always be more willing to take up the work. Mikoto decides to hack Tree Diagram to change the equation and stop the project. Only to find out that the satellite was destroyed weeks ago. This also pre-emptively throws a wrench into her backup plan to destroy the satellite in the hope that the program wouldn't be able to run without it. That obviously is off the table.

Felony Misdemeanor: Episode 3 is about a culprit who sneaks up on girls, stuns them with a taser and while they are unconscious performs on them the depraved, heinous act of drawing them huge eyebrows. Sure, tasing someone to the point of unconsciousness is pretty bad on its own, but people are more pissed about the second thing.

Guilty Pleasure: In-universe example: Mikoto has a love for childish cute things like the Gekota franchise, but feels incredibly embarrassed about it and tries to hide it because many characters point out how her likings are rather childish. This includes her own clone, Misaka 9982, who outright says she's disappointed by the original's childish tastes.

Bait-and-Switch Credits: The opening credits of the Sisters Arc episodes depict Mikoto battling ITEM, making it seem like they're the villains of the arc. She also fights alongside Kuroko and Touma, when in reality it's just Mikoto by herself. And finally, Mikoto is in her Tokiwadai uniform as opposed to her disguise. The opening credits for the Daihasei Festival Arc shows Mitsuko blowing away Mitori's Shadow Puppet, implying that she will fight her. Its only Kuroko who fights Mitori. You think Mikoto will have a Curb-Stomp Battle against the Doppelganger's fake copies as shown in the opening for the Dream Ranker Arc? Think again. She did not fight them and neither the fake copies. What she did in reality is to only cut the threads that the fake copies generate and nothing else.

Irritation Nightmare: In the Dream Ranker arc, Junko Hokaze gives an Indian Poker card to Mikoto Misaka, allowing her to experience the former's dream in an attempt to bond Misaka and Misaki Shokuhou. Mikoto enjoys the dream at first due to being able to play with Gekota... then it turns into a nightmare when she finds herself becoming Queen Misaki's maid and forced to wait on her hand and foot. Mikoto grows increasingly angry with every task she's forced to donote Massaging Misaki's shoulders (all the while getting annoyed by Misaki mentioning how busty she is), shining her shoes, rubbing oil on her back, and pouring tea for her (which ends in the handle of the teapot breaking off), but she finally reaches her breaking point when Misaki tells her to be her maid for life, causing her to wake up angry and horrified.

Hey, That's My Line!: Mikoto's saying that there is really never a dull moment in Academy City gets stolen by other characters in two instances, to her annoyance. The first is on the last episode of Railgun S, where Kuroko, Uiharu and Ruiko parodied this line to Mikoto, and in Railgun T, again at the last episode, where Misaki said this line, again which annoyed Mikoto. In episode 24 of Railgun S, when every member of Judgment assembles at the end of the second season, they get things going 'the way Shirai-san would', grabbing their armbands and shouting, "Judgment desu no!" The aforementioned Shirai-san is present, and yells indignantly.

If It's You, It's Okay: Kuroko is only okay with Mikoto doing erotic things (or, rather, things the former infers as being erotic) when she's doing them in regards to her. Similarly, Saten only cares about seeing Uiharu's panties on a daily bases, finding the idea of looking at anyone else's weird. (She claims she only does it to make sure that Uiharu is actually wearing panties each day, but few believe her.)

Of course, fans said the same thing about Mikoto when she allowed Therestina to take Harumi's students away. What's jarring is the fact Mikoto knows Harumi very well but still thinks she really is the bad guy despite what she's doing wasn't on purpose. Guess what happens to the students? Mikoto, it should be noted, agrees with this sentiment.

You Are Not Alone: Mikoto tries really hard not to let anyone know about her attempts to destroy the Sister's project. While it works on Kuroko, Ruiko, and Uiharu, Touma witnesses enough to figure out what's going on, and when he hears about Mikoto's attempt at a Suicide Mission to die to Accelerator, he intervenes on her, and the Misaka sisters, behalf. Kuroko, Saten and Uiharu all tell Mikoto that if anything is bothering her, she should come to them and open up, instead of having to deal with everything on her own. She still decides to go up against the Level Six Shift Project alone, part because she doesn't want her friends to get hurt, and part because she knows that Kuroko and Uiharu would be required to turn against her as part of Judgment.

Our Dragons Are Different
 A Certain Scientific Railgun (Manga) / int_d88e125e
comment
Our Dragons Are Different: When Touma's right arm is torn off by a Mikoto gradually transforming into a Level 6, eight dragons emerge and proceed to devour Mikoto's power, turning her back into a Level 5. Readers of Index will know about Touma having one dragon that emerges upon the loss of his right hand or right arm, apparently being sealed by Imagine Breaker, but this scene takes that further. Kimi, an esper, apparently has the power to manifest and control a dragon from her right arm. Said dragon appears to be one of the eight that emerged from Touma in the above incident, leading to speculation that she somehow trapped and controlled it.

What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: This was the fan's immediate reaction to Uiharu's power. Then a little bit of Fridge Logic kicks in—she is only a Level 1, her power was never going to be very impressive. Give it time to grow though, and depending on how it works, it could be a very useful power indeed. Episode 20 reveals that her power lets her keep things at a constant temperature. Cool. She also uses it again in the Jailbreak Arc to keep an ice cube hidden under her shirt ice-cold, to prevent herself from passing out from heatstroke, while overheating the servers in the room she's being held in with three armed guards. That's some pretty clever thinking from a Level 1.

Male Gaze: A perfect example in Chapter 47 of the manga (Railgun T, Episode 3), when Touma meets Shokohou Misaki, he can't help but stare at her assets. The anime really likes to point the camera straight at the female characters' assets. This even applies to serious, dark situations, such as during the Sisters Arc, where during Mikoto's attack on the facility that received data from the Tree Diagram, the camera is still pointed straight at Mikoto's posterior instead of showing what she's actually seeing (unlike the manga that actually showed the monitors she was looking at).

The normal ending theme is dropped for a dramatic "Pan Up to the Sky" Ending and fast, rolling credits.

Flanderization
 A Certain Scientific Railgun (Manga) / int_e5e6640b
comment
Flanderization: The anime exaggerates some characters, most notably Kuroko Shirai. While she was an intentionally cliche schoolgirl lesbian character in both Index and the Railgun manga, she was also very capable of being serious, highly responsible and worried a great deal about Mikoto when she was in trouble. However, during either moments of padding or outright filler in the anime she tends to behave like a sexual predator who frequently tries and occasionally succeeds in molesting Mikoto. Fan reaction has been mixed with some preferring the zanier Kuroko from the anime and others preferring the more down to earth and responsible version from the manga and light novels. Luckily, the third season toned it down.

This happens four times during Episode 24 of Railgun S (Season 2), with "sister's noise" playing during Judgment's battle with the Power Suits, then "eternal reality" playing during more Big Damn Heroes, "future gazer" playing during Shinobu and the Misaka Sisters Big Damn Heroes moment and lastly "LEVEL5 -judgelight-" playing as Misaka intercepts the ICBM.

Evil Old Folks: Kiyama's former boss, Gensei Kihara, is a heartless scientist who sees no problem with using children for his experiments. To him, they are "ingredients" to be use in the name of science.

Stupid Sexy Flanders: During Episode 13, most of the girls are just talking or bickering before posing for photos. Then comes Mii in her swimsuit. All the girls immediately shut up and just stare in awe at her. Hell, even a female snake! This is history in the making, when a trope surpasses the boundaries of species!

Ensemble Cast: In the anime, the core main characters consist of Misaka, Shirai, Saten and Uiharu and they all have ample turns in the spotlight. In the manga, the only real "main" character is Misaka. Shirai is a recurring secondary character while Saten and Uiharu aren't very important outside of the Level Upper and Jailbreaker Trial arcs.

Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: Much of the humor in Kuroko and Mikoto's friendship stems from this: the former says or does something spectacularly stupid/perverted, and the latter rewards it with a hard knock to the head.

Early-Bird Cameo
 A Certain Scientific Railgun (Manga) / int_f0089082
comment
Early-Bird Cameo: The Railgun manga and its anime adaptation has characters from the later novels appearing much earlier. In manga Chapter 1, Aiho Yomikawa makes a cameo appearance after the crime scene. In Chapter 8, you can see Stiyl passing by Uiharu. In Chapter 11, Mikoto & Kuroko meet a certain Frog-faced doctor. In Chapter 15, the "Shonen Hero" in one of the Level Upper user's memories is none other than Gunha Sogiita, the seventh Level 5 esper, and in the same chapter we have the appearance of a group of girls hanging out. Those girls are none other than the members of ITEM led by the fourth Level 5 esper, Shizuri Mugino, and would later play a major role in Railgun's Sisters Arc. In Chapter 79, Fusou Ayame, one of the "heroes" that cause trouble in New Testament Volume 7, appears in a Indian Poker dream that Mikoto examines. Ayame would later appear in-person in the Jailbreaker Arc. In Chapter 97, Uiharu and Saten discuss the urban legend of a talking Golden Retriever, who prevented a man from committing suicide. The Golden Retriever is in fact Kihara Noukan, who was introduced in the New Testament novels. In Chapter 99, Oumi Shuri, one of the viewpoint characters in New Testament Volume 4, is seen participating in the Jailbreak Trial.

During the events of the Dream Ranker Arc in the third season (specifically Episodes 19 and 20), Saten ends up befriending Frenda, with the budding friendship cut short by Frenda's death in the 15th Index novel. Saten ends up Locked Out of the Loop, wondering what happened to Frenda.

Food Porn: One of the most obvious visual tics in the anime is that whenever Mikoto and her friends appear they'll probably be eating something like parfaits. No reason, apparently they're all just constantly eating.

On a more lighter note, during the Dream Ranker Arc Mikoto and Saiai discover that there is an Indian Poker card with the secrets behind the Bust Upper. Given that Index is further down the timeline and their figures remained the same it is obvious that something will keep the two from getting to use the card.

Earn Your Happy Ending: A few examples: For all the obstacles, the setbacks, the pain and the suffering she went through and the way the city treated her beloved students, Kiyama finally got her happy ending where she is reunited with her now awakened and cured students. And it's one she truly deserves. Mikoto goes through this quite a bit as well, and has to really work for her happy endings. Fortunately for her, although she sometimes tries to solve it herself, other times she is given a helping hand, such as Touma going to defeat Accelerator to force a stop to the Sisters project when she resigned herself to dying in an attempt to stop their deaths.

Dude, Where's My Respect?: When the main girls run into Febri for the first time in Episode 19 of Season 2, she seems overly friendly to them, except Mikoto. Even Kongou and her friends get more respect than her. Mikoto tries to do various things to get Febri to like her as well, but other than being forced to give away her rare pink gekota finger puppet, Febri doesn't really care about her for some reason. She does however, start to slowly warm up to Mikoto in the next episode, but just barely. Played straight with Shaei. He calls Kuroko and Uiharu without honorifics, which annoyed the former.

Shoo Out the Clowns: Even as fond as the anime is of watching middle schoolers eat and lounge around doing vaguely girly things, all of Mikoto's friends are kicked out of the plot when the Sisters arc gets underway. Only Kuroko really gets to appear and even then her role is almost entirely serious.

 A Certain Scientific Railgun (Manga) / int_f9f2c33

Running Gag: Several including: Kuroko trying to get kinky with Mikoto and getting a beating by her. Saten flipping Uiharu's skirt to show her panties. Kuroko's punishments from the Dorm Supervisor. Mitsuko trying to be serious only to get Butt Monkeyed. Dr. Kiyama stripping in public. Uiharu gets two in the manga; being sick and periodically wearing a cough mask, and almost getting to enjoy a tasty treat (like a cake) before something comes up. Misaki teasing Mikoto every time she is with her, resulting in a petty fight between the two. While the first instance of this is not comedic, later ones are, especially after the Daihaseisai Arc.

 A Certain Scientific Railgun (Manga) / int_fc7c4f92
comment
Canon Immigrant: Anything from characters to plotlines in the Railgun manga/anime is canon in the main Index series as it was approved by the author of the novels. This include Saten who makes a cameo appearance in the novels and Capacity Down is used on Accelerator in Volume 19 of the novels. This also counts in the Railgun manga, where anything added in the Railgun anime is treated as having happened in the manga, though only mentioned in passing. Including Harumi's students being cured. There's also Shinobu Nunotaba, a scientist formerly working on the Radio Noise Project, and Nayuta Kihara, who has already ascended to canon. The Disciplinary Guides, a Dark Side group that appeared in the various Railgun PSP games, is mentioned in Railgun T.

Theme Naming: In every last arc of the three seasons in Railgun, words related to ghosts or soul are involved for some reason. For instance, the first season has "Poltergeist", the second season has "Diffusion Ghost", and finally the third season has "Soul Possession". None of them are actually related to ghosts or soul especially the third one as it was proven false and are only terms used for the lore in the series.

Gondor Calls for Aid: During the second half of season 2, Mikoto at first contemplates going up against STUDY by herself to find the recipe for the lollipops Febri needs to neutralize the poison in her body. However, after hearing Kongou tell her about her friends being upset she didn't ask them for help, and remembering Touma helping her to stop the Sisters project, Mikoto tells her friends about what she planned to do. Although she was worried about putting them in harms way, they were all too eager to help her out. Before the final battle of season 2, Mikoto and her friends go to Yomikawa for help, but Anti-Skill has been removed from play due to legal wrangling. They call in Judgment instead. Hundreds of them show up.
