==Chronology==
===Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index===
====Homecoming Arc====
Misaka Mikoto, when faced with a drunken Touma, thinks to herself that it isn't an illusion created by Misaki. Chapter 1 Part 2
Kumokawa Seria tries to psyche herself up by imitating something Misaki would say, but finds that she can't do it and is way out of Misaki's league for that sort of thing. This hints that these two schemers know each other somewhat for Seria to know Misaki personally. Chapter 2 Part 3
====Baggage City Arc====
Although she does not appear, research material from her are used by Kihara Ransuu to create hallucinogenic drugs he uses against .
====Ichihanaran Festival Arc====
Kumokawa Seria mentions her saying that she would use her powers in order to win a swimsuit competition, implying that Shokuhou will join Eiri High School's swimsuit competition. Chapter 3 Part 6
At 8 AM of the festival, Misaka Mikoto tried to go to A Certain High School to check out its trial enrollment. There, she runs into Shokuhou at the main entrance, much to her bewilderment. She then controls several people in the vicinity and had them chase and tease her, forcing Mikoto to flee. It is unknown why Shokuhou was there in the first place. Chapter 5 Part 5
Shokuhou later appears in Eiri High School for the swimsuit competition. She claims to have been forced by her friends to become part of the competition, and refers to Seria as an old woman, as she refuses to come near her. Seria then mentions that she is in the opposite side is to get out of her range. Chapter 6 Part 10
====Agitate Halation Arc====
Shokuhou controls a student from one of the five schools that control the School Garden, wanting to expand her reach of information gathering after hearing about the rumors of a pervert sneaking into the School Garden. Chapter 1 Part 5 Much to her surprise, she finds that it is Kamijou Touma, and shows some familiarity towards him. She references their meeting in Daihaseisai, though he cannot remember it, as well as their relationship in the past, to which only confusing him after hearing of his explanation about magic in the School Garden and the danger poses to it. She helps him by having her clique serve as bait for Mikoto while she, still controlling a girl, hide Touma. She also follows him around the Garden, aiding and giving him information whenever she can. She acts a bit playful when doing so, tricking him into looking at the half-naked body of the girl she is using, making him look more insidious to the girls than before, and trying to scare him, but all and all she means well. Chapter 1 Part 6
After having collected all the maps from all five schools of the School Garden, Touma reaches an emphasis on where the Altar of the Wisdom King would be kept. Misaki, after her usual trickery and cunning, convinces a luggage entry inspector to let them use the data for items that have passed through, as she deemed that antiques or works of art such as what the Altar of the Wisdom King would be referred as would go through there. Chapter 1 Part 7 Later, trying to get into Shiraha Social Support Club, Misaki gives a surprisingly pragmatic approach to getting an authorization card from the attending girls. Using anpan and milk, they drop them on a target girl, which allowed Misaki to steal an authorization card from the other girl next to her authorization cards, using Touma as a decoy. Once inside, Touma searched for the spiritual item but could not find it. Misaki tells him to become suspicious of the source of the information that was given to him. Touma begins to doubt Tsuchimikado Motoharu's words when he dropped him off in School Garden to deal with the Altar of the Wisdom King himself. At that point, an airship showing the latest headlines shows a news regarding the death of Tsuchimikado Maika in a fire in her dorm. Misaki tells Touma that someone might have intentionally kept him inside School Garden like a cage in order for them to be able to do something else. Chapter 1 Part 8
From that point on, Touma completely abandons the wild goose chase as well as Misaki. She tries to pursue Touma, having been left out in the dark, Mikoto apparently followed her for the same purpose. They later find themselves in the midst of the "heroes" rioting in Learning Core due to the effects of Agitate Halation, though it is implied the Level 5s are unaffected by it. Misaki discovers someone who is acting as the 6th Level 5, though does not care for it very much. As she is surrounded by the "heroes," she takes control of some of them to her advantage, diverting some of them towards Mikoto, much to her annoyance. After hearing Mikoto's explanation of being there, she tells her that the first one to reach Touma gets to do whatever she wants, which confuses Mikoto. Chapter 4 Part 5 As the riot continues, the "heroes" try to find ways to stop Mikoto, to which she requests Misaki to use her powers to stop them as she can use it without hurting them unlike Mikoto. Misaki ignores her request, but is then attacked by a leopard released from the zoo of Learning Core by one of the heroes, she is quickly surrounded by them as she is unable to control an animal's brain. She then asks Mikoto for help, to which Mikoto says she will but only after the leopard bites off her breast. Despite her request, Misaki makes use of espers and counterattacks, allowing to retain her ground. Misaki shows her annoyance at the unpredictable and pragmatic methods of heroes. Chapter 4 Part 8
After the resolution of the rioting, Touma does not reference meeting the girls afterward, implying that both of them failed in their objective.
====Magic God Othinus Arc====
She was shown controlling a certain adult woman in a showy suit in a place near the bus stop bench where Touma and the other girls sat. She saw Mikoto who is standing alone and trembling and proceeds to tease her regarding Touma and the girls with him. She said that if Mikoto isn't at all interested in knowing what's going on, she will be the one to ask and seduce him using other girls that she also controlled. Mikoto panicked and told Misaki that if she keeps going on like this, there would be chaos and proceeded to use her magnetism to make the bench where Touma and the others sat fly so as to keep him away from Misaki. Chapter 1 Part 6
=====Shifting and Fluctuating World=====
In the final recreation of the world by Othinus created specifically to break Touma's spirit, known as the Version_Omega world in-text, where several characters from the original world have been "saved" or have not experienced great tragedy, the traumas or tragedies Misaki faced in the original world likely did not transpire. She is first seen with Seria when the now-broken Touma partakes his "last meal" as he decides on the method on how he should kill himself. As they usually are, the two of them are arguing after Misaki uses her power to cut in line with elementary students just for a hot-dog. Chapter 7 Part 2
=====VS The World=====
Later, as one of the seven Level 5s of Academy City, she is one of the recipients of the email giving an order to kill both magic god Othinus and Kamijou Touma. Prologue Here, she becomes enthusiastic, saying that she doesn't know what had happened it looked like she had something to do now, and gave a fearless smile that gave no hint of her true feelings. She doesn't follow the kill order however.
====Mental Out Arc====
One of the most important story arcs for her character. It is a story arc focusing on a conspiracy against Misaki to force her to destroy her memories, specifically those that involved Touma before him losing his ability to remember her. She later discovers that it was the doing of Mitsuari Ayu, a girl with powers similar to her whose esper development has been sidelined in favour of Misaki following the Parameter List. However, Misaki discovers that it is much deeper than that as Mitsuari reveals that she also knew Touma before Misaki did and that it was her meeting Touma that led to her committing suicide and preventing Touma to reach her in time, preventing her from being saved.
Misaki is later pitched into a battle between their esper powers, Mental Out and Mental Stinger, and an actual physical confrontation. Misaki loses and is doomed to have her esper power copied by the FIVE_Over Modelcase Mental Out that would have allowed Mitsuari to erase her memories of Touma. Misaki is later saved by the arrival of Touma himself after finally using the whistle to call for him, though in reality was an intervention done by Kumokawa Seria. Misaki is later glad that Touma arrived as he could finally save Mitsuari now.
Misaki later visits Touma in the hospital, with the latter completely oblivious of who she is despite meeting her earlier. There, Misaki kisses Touma on the forehead and hopes for a tiny miracle that would allow Touma to remember her.
====St. Germain Arc====
Shokuhou Misaki appears briefly in the arc, taking control of a mind of a college-aged girl wearing a miniskirt Santa Claus . After a short banter with Mikoto, Misaki tells Mikoto to combine forces as the two Level 5s of Tokiwadai Middle School in order for them to be able to sneak out of their dorms for Christmas. The two, however, are suspicious of the other's intentions in wanting to go out during Christmas, and both conclude to betray the other at the very end. Chapter 1 Part 3
When Touma arrives, Misaki makes herself discreet. Misaki later overhears Touma's conversation with Mikoto on how he is afraid of going to School District 15, the district where the rich and famous gather, and that he would be forced to do so by two girls. This surprises both Mikoto and Misaki, and after Touma leaves both of them finally agree to team up in order to get out for Christmas Eve.
====Magic God Invasion Arc====
At some point prior to the events on December 3rd, Misaki fought Mikoto in a paper sumo wrestling game for the rights to the area with Touma's high school. Both played dirty, with Misaki hiding some cardboard in her origami figure and sticking pieces of eraser to its feet to increase its weight while Mikoto used a metal clip to freely move around her origami doll via magnetism. In the end, Misaki lost the game. Chapter 1 Part 4
====Element Arc====
====Aleister Crowley Arc====
On December 11th, Misaki met Mikoto outside of Tokiwadai, as reconstruction was underway. Chapter 1 Part 3 After talking briefly about how the other students had become afraid of their own power after having to use it to survive, Mikoto asked Misaki if she could discuss a certain matter with her, with the latter agreeing after hearing it was linked to Touma. Chapter 2 Part 1 Following a discussion at one of Misaki's favored eating spots, Chapter 2 Part 3 the two went to School District 11 to reanalyze the original Anti-Art Attachment. Chapter 3 Part 3 During the analysis, they found that the A.A.A. was receiving a signal and the individual it was connected to was focused on Kamijou Touma. Chapter 3 Part 7
When Mikoto determined that the signal was coming from the Windowless Building, the two soon realized that the linked individual was Academy City's Board Chairman. Despite knowing the potential consequences of going against him, they decided to act out of concern for Touma, with Misaki using her ability in order to ease the burden of the A.A.A. on Mikoto. Chapter 3 Part 15 With their combined abilities and the A.A.A., they were able to penetrate the Windowless Building's outer wall with the Liquid Proof Railgun. Chapter 3 Part 16 Chapter 3 Part 18
As Aleister gathered the powers of the city's espers to summon Aiwass, Misaki felt the drain Chapter 4 Part 3 but continued supporting Mikoto in the attack on the Windowless Building. Chapter 4 Part 6 Their efforts broke the building's closed-off environment, enabling Touma's allies inside to disrupt the ceremony and cause Aiwass to disappear, helping Touma to defeat Aleister. Chapter 4 Part 7 Chapter 4 Part 8 Chapter 4 Part 9
====Coronzon Arc====
Following the evacuation of Academy City on December 11th, Misaki went with the rest of the Tokiwadai students to the Indonesian island of Bali, intending to stay until the situation was resolved. During the boat trip, they encountered a group of Crowley's Hazards, who were at a considerable disadvantage against Misaka Mikoto, being on the ocean, and were soon dispatched. At some point during this encounter, Misaki tried her ability against Crowley's Hazards with mixed success. She was speaking with Mikoto on the beaches of Bali when the latter received a phone call from her father, which led her to discover that Touma was in London. After discovering this, Mikoto warned the currently unaware Misaki not to follow her. Between the Lines 4
Despite this, the two ended up flying to the United Kingdom using the A.A.A., which they had secretly brought with them, disguised as a piece of modern art. On reaching London, Mikoto located her father near Piccadilly Circus and on seeing that he was being targeted by the reproduced William Wynn Westcott and Annie Horniman, launched an attack run on the two. As they circled round for another pass, the A.A.A. accidentally collided with the Qliphah Puzzle 545 and stalled, forcing them to make a crash landing. Chapter 2 Part 3 Chapter 2 Part 4 Due to the shallow angle they used to reduce damage, they ended up in Outer London. Chapter 3 Part 8
While they were checking the damage to the A.A.A., having not changed out of their swimsuits, Misaki was left freezing cold and tearfully pleading with Mikoto (who could warm herself with microwaves). On seeing Kamijou Touma going past with the Female Knight on horseback and overhearing snippets of their conversation, the two immediately changed their focus and with the A.A.A. reconfigured into a motorcycle, they set off after him. However as Touma moved onto the motorway, they ended up missing the onramp and entered the road below, Chapter 3 Part 9 subsequently getting lost. Chapter 3 Part 17
They eventually caught up in time to save Touma after he fell from the royal carriage during his clash with Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers. After a brief minor clash due to Touma falling between the two of them, front towards a rather pleased Misaki, and getting the rough situation from Touma, Mikoto fired a Liquid Proof Railgun shot at Mathers before helping Touma back onto the carriage. The girls then moved to fend off the other members of the reproduced Golden Dawn with the A.A.A. When Mathers intercepted Aleister Crowley's Babalon-based attack from the sky with Belzébuth, Aleister transferred his magic to the A.A.A. and fired a second shot out of it which sent Mathers flying. Chapter 3 Part 19
Once the battle with the reproduced Golden Dawn ended, Mikoto and Misaki ended up accompanying Touma to Edinburgh Castle and his subsequent meeting in the graveyard with Aleister Crowley, whom they were surprised to see in the form of a young girl. They then witnessed the attempt to use the real Mathers' corpse against Coronzon and Aleister's stabbing following the demon's deception. Touma told them to take care of the wounded Aleister while he prepared to face Coronzon. Epilogue
