What disturbs me is the fact that Touma seems to give less and less of a shit as time progresses. Whether this is a different phase or the city is actually being destroyed by giant elemental bugs, Touma really seems above this shit either way. I am also sure something shocking will happen this novel considering all the foreshadowing about Misaka.

I'm thinking it is something other than the world Touma knows and it actually will matter.

He'll probably either get back to his world just in time for crazy shit to happen or be unable to get back to his world, therefore making this world permenant to him.

It'd be interesting if only he is stuck in this world and gone from the one he knows, which still exists. That sounds like the work of world rejector.

>yfw touman wakes up from his dream at the end of NT16

I like the theory that Touma has been WRed

Yeah, it's obvious something big will happen to her. I almost believe she's straight up going to die. If it's not the world Touma knows, it wouldn't really matter if she did because Touma would likely get back to the real world. And probably be overprotective of her because of what happened in Element's world

Me too. Even if WR really is permanent, I'm sure Kamachi could find a way to continue to make Touma useful

It's supposed to send you to your perfect world. This seems...sorta shit.

Either Kamisato was full of shit and it sends you to a world full of shit where you can't have choices or Touma's perfect world is to save everyone from fuckhuge bugs and not worry about his attendance record.

Touma's a masochist. Othinus fucked up when she thought a happy world would satisfy him.

Man, Monday night/Tuseday morning spoilers are gonna make everyone lose their shit, aren't they

It is going to be a shit storm. That is certain. All that remains to be seen is what's going to cause it.

I'm already thinking up half-believable fake spoilers for when they start dropping in.

What if you end up being right? Jokes have come true before.

It's going to be over Touma and Mikoto as it always fucking is.

Watch it be something like

>confirmed dream/illusion/world distortion
>Mikoto dies after saying "I love you"
>Touma gets back to correct world and says "I will protect Mikoto" leaving a big cliffhanger
>endless shitflinging about whether or not was bullshit and whether or not it'll lead to a confirmed ship

I want to deny that but I know it is true. I can only hope the shipping shit flinging is only 70 percent of the shitstorm. I want to be able to enjoy this.

I would.

If it's any variant of Mikoto dying in an alternate reality and Touma coming back declaring he will protect her, it will be nothing but shipping shit storms

>OTP OTP OTP I KNEW KAMACHI WOULD MAKE THIS HAPPEN. HATERS BTFO. LOVE WINS
vs
>This is literal fucking bullshit. Kamachi LITERALLY had to cheat to get Touma to care about this bitch. Fucking marketing whore. I hope she still gets rejected somehow

Wait, what's with the ending lines? I didn't follow last threads; what are the most realistic fake spoilers?

Doesn't this
>Could this be outside the real timeline?
>Is my life flashing before my eyes? Am I lying in bed and desperately thinking back over my most recent memories?
refer to his sense of time and most recent memories being all fucked up due to him almost dying and being resuscitated by Fukiyose at the beginning of the next chapter?

We don't have any fake spoilers yet. Illustration spoilers come out late Monday night/early Tuesday morning

Yeah. I'm not buying the dream/alternate world stuff.

Maybe.

But his choice of words is really suspect.

If he were just referring to being hazy due to resuscitation/injury, shouldn't have said something like "how long have I been out?"

Oh, I got excited because of this thread. Then I am believing my first impression, this prologue is just a simple flashback

I go with the idea that they're WR'd. It seems possible despite the apocalypses thing.
Mostly likely will happen too after all the death flags in NT15 and her actually "dying" in Virtual-On.

>Touma goes through ANOTHER alternate world where he fails to protect his friends, then goes back home and everyone is acting perfectly normal while he's freaking out

What form will his PTSD take this time?

He will have tourette like tick where he puches person within reach of his arm

How would you react if we're still in nt9 hell?

At this moment he is at the "what the fuck, brain" stage, not "I just woke up and what kind of DEEP DARK FANTASY is this, Fukiyose".

I would actually be 100% fine with it

Kamachi would have to be an absolute madman.

I would love it even though it would be awful writing.

That would be worst kind of way to save the plot
Asspull thet not even blizzard writers could pull out

What if the "Mikoto dies" theory is true except it's not an alternate world at all?

How would you honestly react? Assume that we're given a good explaination as to why Aleister has let Element run wild

I would give it at least 5/10 just for the suicidal bravery alone, no matter how good or bad the execution would be.

Wouldn't make much sense. Mikoto is one of Kamachi's favorite characters according to interviews, and from a marketing perspective it'd be the worst thing to do considering the tanking sales.

I'd honestly just expect her to get brought back to life next volume.

If this all real then Kamachi better give a real good explanation on why things scalated this badly

The only explanation I can think of is that Crowley wanted this to happen for some reason.

I can't imagine this happening if he didn't want it to happen.

Fine with it. It would be a great change, and hopefully would open index's last arc. I want a decent ending to this series

I guess that's obvious. Keikaku man should have an endless number of ways to deal with shittier dark matter animal clones.
As for his reason I have no idea

The fact it's escalated this badly is precisely why people think it's some kind of alternate reality. It's impossible to explain it and it be good.

Even OT Academy City could handle swarms of Element

Considering this might be the beggining of the end for NT (considering the 24 volume of Index), it would be suicidal, in the character development department, after saying that he wanted to make her someone who wouldn't give up and always look forward, it would obliterate Railgun, it would have a very negative effect all around.

Unless it was a fakeout (remember how Touma died after Fiamma and was gone for the entirity of 90% of a volume?) it's not going to happen.

I would have mixed emotions about it, but if it did happen I would imagine Touma would truly hate somebody for the first time in his life. That could be fun.

What reason could he have for wanting it to happen? Hoping it would kill Yuiitsu maybe? Her having WR and it being confirmed to work on him might make think twice about killing her directly if he wanted her dead, even with all his power. Surely he wouldn't think this is a good idea to kill Mikoto?

>Crowley has allowed such a petty thing destroy his City

Every volume keeps making him more shit

Why the fuck would Crowley do some roundabout thing to kill Mikoto? He can literally teleport behind her like he did to that lab chick and kill her .

Try to understand him. He lost his family and he still hasn't received a punch from Touman.

We don't know if that's his intention. Hell the only thing we have to go on that he intends to kill Mikoto and Kamisato is that he told Yuuitsu that. He could easily have lied to her.

Laura keeps laughing at him and it's getting to his thought proccess

I think the heat is from Kamisato side, and Element is an attack to lure Mikoto out from Yuiitsu

>What if the "Mikoto dies" theory is true except it's not an alternate world at all?
From the perspective of writing alone, it would be a great move if her death was meaningful and brought some major development. It's a good moment to pull some serious shit and Mikoto suddenly dying would definitely be more interesting than some safe option like having Touma rescue her again.
From the perspective of shekels it's not happening, nip waifuautists would go batshit insane.

>How would you honestly react?
I'd commemorate Kamachi's death with the minute of silence, grab the popcorn and embrace the shitstorm.

I wonder how we'd be able to tell if Miki had strangled Kamachi in his sleep and started writing the series in his place.

bringing back mikoto if she did die then you know Miki killed Kamachi and started writing in his place

Well don't tell me you would be able to keep your composure after this

>every single volume people speculate that someone is going to die
>no one ends up dying

My dreams die a little more each time.

I wonder if he does phone sex with aleister since she has hotline set up with him

Laura, learn to speak Japanese. Your pronunciation is laughable

I think Mikoto cry out in the real world and Touma will be all like "WAIT FOR ME MIKOTO! I'LL DEFEAT THESE BASTARDS! AND THEN...I'LL SAVE YOU! I PROMISED!"

>From the perspective of writing alone, it would be a great move if her death was meaningful and brought some major development.

I don't Kamachi has it in him. Neither the talent or the will.

Touma spent 3 volumes going against everything for Othinus, and Kamachi is just going to kill an extremely popular character that he also likes 2 volumes after talking about her development, with Touma as the MC here? It doesn't really matter how he does it, I don't see any way it's going to happen.

And why is everyone jumping straight to a death flag? AAA was a shit just got serious and there are consequences flag.

After everything that happened Touma has a greater chance of dying to the finale and even that isn't going to happen. No one is going to die.

>AC a mere city alone can go toe to toe with COUNTRIES in a war with it's advanced tech with 0 causalities

>city is decades ahead of technology of the rest of the world

>a heatwave destroyed it

Am i really supposed to buy this?

If it's an alternate reality, anyone and everyone could die in the most brutal way possible and it wouldn't mean a damn thing if Touma can get back to his reality. So yes someone could die this volume

A heatwave and giant killer bugs.

Because obviously he doesn't want to kill Mikoto, just push the right buttons.

When he wanted a bunch of nigh-omnipotent beings gone, he just kicked down their door and fucked them up so badly, they had to run away to the realm of mortals with laughable fraction of their powers left, only to get rekt by a dog and a high school boy.

>Am i really supposed to buy this?

Which is why everyone is jumping the gun and suggesting alternate realities and stuff, because it doesn't make any sense that this hasn't been stopped before it reached this point.

Not even a Magic God halted AC in this manner.

>Someone important finally dies
>Threads explode with force of a nuke
>Afterblast leaves a shitstorm so strong it won't calm down until next volume comes out
Exactly what I hope for every volume since 11

js06 to the rescue.

2fast4me

Based.

>Still, that was plenty for anything other than potable water: for washing their bodies, for washing their clothes, or for the bathroom. They had reached a dead end, but they may have been blessed more than others since they “only” had to worry about potable water.

>(I’m seriously worried about Misaka. But our phones don’t work, so I have no way of contacting her.)

>The thought came to him for no real reason. This went beyond not being able to eat something that had fallen on the floor. He had a feeling that a high-class girl would be more fragile than a commoner in situations like this.

Also these Misaka thoughts are coming out of nowhere.

Thank you based js06

You know, Crowley's been kinda chill about a lot of shit. Like God's Right Seat running amok in the city, Gensei trying to blow up the city with Nuit, Fiamma's fuckery in WW3, Othinus' shenanigans, etc.

But Biribiri uses AAA one time and he flips his shit and wants her dead. I don't see the big deal here.

These thoughts have to be a setup for a tragedy because even for blatant pandering this is too fuking stupid

Gods right seat was being pretty harmless compared and literally used as a setup for the plans

Where did the raws come from? Preview or volume?

>“Gyaaaah!! I get that you’re feeling emotional, but let go of the clips before hugging me!!”

>has Seiri's funbags and the rest of her almost naked, sweaty body pressed against him
>can't enjoy it thanks to the DIY Biri-Biri kit

Preview

Shame. Was hoping for a miracle.

>“Well, it would be nice if was that easy. As you can see, I haven’t had much luck. The calculations say I should be gathering the light, though…”

>“Maybe it’s just the limits of a quick and dirty handmade device.”

The fact that the solar heater isn't working is sorta odd. Either whatever process that's creating the heat wave is doing something to the sun's rays or it's another clue that reality isn't working right.

Das it mane

>A bunch of plastic sheets were fluttering in the scorching wind while hanging up in the front schoolyard like drying laundry. By laying those out over the ground, the moisture evaporated from the dirt would supposedly gather on them as drops of water. However, the schoolyard was already dried and cracked. No one knew who owned those anymore, but someone had definitely traded a water bottle for one and then cried over being deceived.

>(I just hope Misaka wasn’t tricked too…)

He's a madman.

He's not even mentioning Salome's warning in his random thoughts about Mikoto. It's got to be some kind of alternate reality

Why does everyone want it to be an alternate reality? Tbis looks like someone pulling strings behind the stage, gotta be Yuuitsu trying to lure either Kamisato or Misaka.

Because it's as psychotic as the opening to NT 9 was, except there was no build-up to this.

Pretty much the only options now are "alternate reality" and "shit explanation that fucks over most of the series"

That doesn't fit. Aleister wouldn't allow it and even Yuiitsu could be concise

It's because Nuit is now CONFIRMED

the reason why people say its an alternate reality because of the random thoughts of Mikoto and how such a sudden change from last volume to post apolitical scenario not to mention in the prologue saying outside the real time line.

No it isn't

>As soon as he supported himself on her shoulder, a sweet aroma reached his nose. It was likely her hair or her sweat and it put an indescribable look on his face.

Touma really has a smell fetish or Othinus trained his body well enough.

Alternate reality would be worse than whatever explanation kamachi has.

Also in the preview they mention outside the real timeline.

No it wouldn't because a shitty explaination would invalidate a lot of the series

I wouldn't like it because it'll throw into question all future plotlines if alternate realities start becoming a regular thing after NT 9, but I still think it'd be better than however else he could possibly justify this.

Plus at least alternate realities have been a thing up to this point, both with Magic Gods and WR, so it wouldn't be completely out of nowhere.

Timeline? I thought this was 3 days after Kamisato lost WR and Misaka finally snapping.

Reminder that one know-it-all user who said everything in the summary would happen in a chapter and that Element wouldn't be a big deal was wrong and should stop acting like he knows it all

The one who ran away with a burned down body was him though.

The reason they left their club was because Othinus fucked up.

>So that’s it, he thought as a possibility occurred to him.

>Could this be outside the real timeline?

>Is my life flashing before my eyes? Am I lying in bed and desperately thinking back over my most recent memories?

Yeah, NT15 happened in December 4, this starts in December 7

>Swimsuit Aogami Pierce (a sight no one had asked for) was staring off into the distance near the door.

Aogami is a creepy piece of shit.

He's just making sure his injured bro didn't suffer any more fukouda.

Misaka Mikoto is going to die?
