This arc is pretty much the peak of the entire franchise.

Fightest posted:So what's the justification on Accelerator deflecting lightning bolts? Projectiles I can understand, but a lightning strike is a speed-of-light discharge. Considering that technobabble is apparently a thing in the source material, I'm wondering why he hasn't been fried yet. You answered your own question. Accelerator can deflect lightning bolts because of technobabble.

ChronoReverse posted:He'd be absolutely fine. It's a temperature gradient but the actual flow of heat has a vector. Thermodynamics has nothing on Accelerator. I'm sure we will go into it once the current arc is over. For now, anything in-depth would spoil the ending.

Kuroko is technically working for the city. Pretty much every major event in the franchise involves major illegal activities on both sides. Keeping her out of it is pretty sensible, actually.

I don't think they are even acronyms. Just random english words in capital letters.

My main problems with Touma are that his harem just keeps increasing in size and his character never develops. The latter issue wouldn't be so serious if he had been even slightly interesting to begin with. It also doesn't help that not a single member of said harem has ever succeeded in being nice to him in any way. A few have tried, but every attempt ends poorly. Being surrounded at all times by people who react to everything you do with either criticism or physical violence sounds pretty unfortunate to me, but that is probably unintentional. There are also the incredibly verbose self-righteous speeches, but those aren't unique to Touma.

The series has just gone on too long. Touma keeps adding new girls to his harem with every book, and then they only ever appear in passing. No one gets character development, but the girls in peril are effectively interchangeable plot devices. Well, except for Index, whose entire purpose is to make Touma's daily life miserable for some bizarre reason. What's more, despite it being the basic premise of the setting there are pretty much never psychic vs. magic fights. However, I do find it rather hilarious that the entire LN series takes place over like 6 months and Touma has been hospitalized on the verge of death like 20 times now.

Well, Saten's involvement is usually just getting into trouble somehow.

The setting can be pretty interesting when it isn't mired in harem bullshit and dumb speeches. This manga even allows side characters to save the day sometimes instead of dumping everything on a certain bland protagonist.
