Because of his willingness to help others unconditionally, he has attracted the affections of many characters in the series, which Himegami Aisa jokes about, stating that his life is like a dating simulation where he is bound to unlock more paths to more girls. During his adventures, Touma has saved countless people, Academy City, and even the world a few times.

Weaknesses: Normal human weaknesses, Imagine Breaker has limitations, such as fighting multiple opponents at the same time, conventional weapons, or flying opponents. Despite being able to negate more powerful attacks, Imagine Breaker can have issues negating powers that are able to regenerate or are receiving a constant supply of power if they are faster than its cancelling speed. His precognition skill can be restricted by opponents with superior control over their involuntary body movements,Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 7 Chapter 4 Part 9 and it's less efficient when he's not fighting one on one. He also has serious bad luck | None notable | None notable | His precognition skill can be restricted by opponents with superior control over their involuntary body movements, and it's less efficient when he's not fighting one on one
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Imagine Breaker (幻想殺し Gensō Goroshi (Imajin Bureikā), lit. "Illusion Killer"): A mysterious power that exists in Touma's right hand due to Imagine Breaker finding meaning in him since birth.Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 1 Chapter 1 Part 3 Imagine Breaker is able to negate all supernatural power like magic, psychic, and divine powers such as God's blessings (luck) on physical contact, though it also provides Touma with some passive defense against certain spells and apparently can interfere with some spells just by being in their vicinity. Though it can negate anything supernatural, it cannot negate natural forces from the supernatural such as a person's life force (Evident to the fact that he hasn't killed anyone with a simple handshake) and offers no protection against anything that is natural like normal guns or swords and it won't negate natural consequences from a supernatural power (such as the ashes from a magic fire). It also cannot "completely" negate something if it surpasses its canceling speed such as Index's Dragon's Breath,Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 1 Chapter 4 Stiyl's Innocentius,Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 1 Chapter 1 Part 6 or Accelerator's Dark Wings, but Touma has learned to use this limitation to his advantage and use Imagine Breaker to interfere via "disruption." When upon contact with an attack, he can physically grab it and disrupt it.Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 20 Chapter 4 Part 5 Notable attacks Touma has dispelled include Othinus' Gungnir and Coronzon's Magick: Flaming_Sword after the latter had been stripped of her vessel.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22 Chapter 4 Part 17Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22 Chapter 4 Part 21 Several people in-universe have speculated on Imagine Breaker's nature and tried to explain it, with Ollerus's conjecture being that Imagine Breaker is a reference point for the world born out of all magicians' fear of changing the world too much and making it unrecognizable and their hopes of being able to return to the normal world.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 5 Chapter 1 Part 7Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 9 Between the Connected PointsShinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 9 Chapter 8 Part 5Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 14 Chapter 1 Part 1Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 10 Chapter 2 Part 9 Ollerus and Coronzon also stated that Imagine Breaker existed long before Touma was born, under different wielders and shapes, such as it existing in the forms of people, objects, places, and buildings.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22 Chapter 2 Part 4 This was supported by Othinus stating the same thing and adding that she could gain possession of Imagine Breaker if she removed all matter in the world, thus making it so that the only thing for it to reside in would be her.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 9 Chapter 5 Part 3Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 9 Chapter 8 Part 8 She later compared Imagine Breaker to a panacea capable of healing or cutting away the bad parts of the world, before admitting even that wouldn't be enough to describe it.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22 Reverse Chapter 4 Part 6
Precognition: Literally referred in the original Japanese novels as Premonition Perception or Sense of Foreboding (前兆の感知 Zenchō no Kanchi), but translated as Precognition in the fan translation for simplicity. Precognition is the term used by characters to refer to the skill unconsciously developed by Kamijou Touma through his many battles. Touma has gotten into such a plethora of fights that he now can subconsciously anticipate attacks coming his way. Combined with his reflexes and the courage to keep his body and thoughts moving allows him to judge accurately what to do next. This works because Touma is capable of unconsciously analyzing minute changes in the battlefield and involuntary movements made by his enemies that likely not even they are aware of such as Misaka Mikoto's electromagnetic fields making metal items around her resonate. Even if Touma doesn't consciously register these things, his unconscious does, allowing him to accurately predict the path of an attack and move his body accordingly to stop it with Imagine Breaker, dodge it or try to reduce the damage to his vitals in case the former two options aren't possible. It's because of this skill that Touma has been able to react to supersonic attacks, but it's been noted that if he consciously takes note of it in battle and tries to use it then it would likely fail. Due to the mechanics of this skill, it can be sealed by an opponent who can restrict the information he receives, like the cyborg Rensa who could completely freeze her face and control all of her body involuntary muscular movements. This skill can be more simply described as a "sixth sense" to react to upcoming attacks. After accumulating an extensive amount of battle experience throughout more than 10,000 deaths fighting against Othinus, he was ultimately capable of evading a torrent of her MFTL+ crossbow arrows.
Beyond the Right Hand: Whenever his right arm has been severed or destroyed, it has been shown that the Imagine Breaker holds within something with unimaginable potential. After his arm has been severed, it has usually been able to regenerate/grow back as if nothing had happened. However, there's been various different outcomes when his arm is cut.
*Dragons: The first time his arm was cut by Aureolus Izzard, a large dragon head, referred to as the Dragon Strike (竜王の顎 (ドラゴンストライク) Ryūō no Ago (Doragon Sutoraiku), lit. "Jaw of the Dragon King") appeared from the stump. While at the time Stiyl Magnus stated that the dragon head had merely been an unconscious creation from the alchemist's out of control reality warping powers,Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 2 Epilogue Touma still harbored some doubts about the incident. His concerns were proven true when, after once again losing his right arm fighting Level 6 Shift Mikoto, the same dragon head appeared again, this time followed by seven more different dragon heads. The dragon heads bit into and tore apart the powerful black sphere that Mikoto had created before disappearing.
**First Dragon: The first dragon head seen in-story, this is the dragon head that appeared after Aureolus cut off Touma's arm. It's stated to specialize in decursing and psychological attacks, even destroying the memories of those it bites without causing physical damage, which was Aureolus' fate. The effects of Aureolus Izzard's Ars Magna on Stiyl Magnus also began to be undone just after its fangs made contact with the air, which could be part of its decursing ability.Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 2 Chapter 4 Part 2
**Blind Dragon: A blind black darkness dragon head. Like the first dragon, this head is also stated to have powerful psychological effects, in this case the dragon is noted to cause those nearby to be overcome with terror and confusion.
**One-eyed Cobra Dragon: A one-eyed blue dragon head with a cobra-like hood. This dragon head is stated to be a water dragon that can summon rainstorms. Additionally, its fangs carry the undiluted concept of poison, so those it bites are either killed or subjected to a fate worse than death.
**Four-eyed Dragon: A green dragon head with four eyes. This dragon head is stated to possess multiple eye powers, including illusion and hypnotism powers that can blur the line between dream and reality. Additionally, it is stated to be a singer with a beautiful voice that can shatter objects, including Shadow Metal, an extremely rare metal that can sometimes be created by the clash of two powerful esper powers.
** Corpse Flame Dragon: An undead fire dragon covered in red flames erupting from its bones. This dragon is stated to damage things using an energy drain that apparently burns life force itself.
**Ice Crystal Dragon: An ice crystal dragon, it is stated to be capable of breathing ice and being as tough and solid as the planet itself.
**Spearhead Dragon: A yellow dragon with a large spear-like horn, it is stated to be capable of releasing lightning from its body and firing lasers from its mouth.
**Angel Dragon: A white angelic-looking dragon head surrounded by multiple feathered wings. The dragon head can project a light from the cross on its forehead. An object directly hit by this cross of light will be turned into salt, causing it to quickly crumble. Additionally, the feathers of its wings also possess special powers. Those stabbed with one are brainwashed as if hypnotized and turned into mindless puppets; faithfully following any orders given to them by the user. However, they are unable to think for themselves while under the effects of the feathers.Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Chapter 106Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Chapter 116 
*Invisible Thing: After his arm was severed and absorbed by Fiamma of the Right, Fiamma's next attack that had the power to turn an entire planet to dust was cut in half before reaching Touma, as if there was an invisible right hand stretching from the wound on Touma's shoulder. As the invisible power gathered beyond the wound, Fiamma felt inferior and overshadowed, believing that everything he had paled in comparison to that great power. However, a second power, described by the narration as "Kamijou Touma's own power", appeared above the invisible thing, seemingly opened up a large mouth and swallowed it up. As if a giant mouth was chewing, the air around Touma's shoulder shook before the first power was smashed in an instant. After that, Touma addressed the invisible thing and told it to stay out of the fight, as he would take care of it, just before his right arm regenerated and Touma regained Imagine Breaker. The invisible thing appeared once more when Othinus crushed his right hand and charged towards her roaring, though the Magic God easily crushed it, commenting on it not living to her expectations after having produced decent results against Fiamma in WWIII. After Kamisato had banished Imagine Breaker with World Rejecter, the Invisible Thing shot out and attacked him, later leaving Touma speculating on its nature.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 14 EpilogueShinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 15 Prologue It made an additional appearance after Aiwass broke Touma's arm, noting that it had gotten stronger, but its purity left much to be desired. 
*Swarm: After having been struck by Coronzon's Magick: Flaming_Sword and losing his right arm, a swarm of triangular-surfaced red bubbles with a silhouette body crawling inside was released later after his near-death, however, they were quickly suppressed by Misaki tricking Touma's brain into thinking his arm was still attached.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22 Chapter 2 Part 11 When Coronzon once again cut off Touma's right arm, this swarm immediately destroyed Coronzon's exposed essence, accompanying a blinding flash of light and deafening roar.
*Dragon Shell: A temporary form Touma gained when Imagine Breaker temporarily left him. Instead of his arm which usually has Imagine Breaker, Touma gains a sky-blue and lemon-yellow arm. This arm can transform and surround Touma into a shell that has the form of a dragon. This form grants Touma superhuman capabilities, is durable enough to take a shot of Misaka's Railgun, and can match the speed of a saint in short bursts. Notably, due to lacking Imagine Breaker in this form, Touma no longer has bad luck.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22 Reverse Chapter 3 Part 3Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22 Reverse Chapter 3 Part 6
*Emanation: After the swarm was released onto Coronzon and Touma ran away to protect those around him, a triangular prism emerged from his detached right arm which grew a body identical in appearance to Touma’s and had Imagine Breaker transferred to it along with Touma's lost memories.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22 Reverse Chapter 2 Part 7Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22 Reverse Chapter 3 Part 3 According to Aleister, this entity manifested after the lock in Touma's right arm had been broken too many times, with Anna and Othinus similarly remarking it was caused by the disbalance between science and magic when Aleister restored Touma's body and another form of Touma's power.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22 Reverse Chapter 3 Part 1 He later described himself as nothing more than an ability that distorts quantum physics, reminiscent of esper powers.Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 4 Chapter 2 Part 8 Released by Touma's own regrets, he looked to enact their shared wish of protecting those important to them, however, the emanation was manipulative and had no compunctions about threatening the lives of others to do so.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22 Reverse Chapter 4 Part 12Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22 Reverse Chapter 3 Part 4 This emanation displayed a similar Dragon Shell that the original Kamijou Touma possessed at the time, except with shocking-pink and emerald colors in contrast to Touma’s sky-blue and lemon yellow, and was able to simultaneously utilize Imagine Breaker. After having its physical body destroyed by Touma, he returned to Touma's right arm until later claiming that he would have released himself in the fight with Johann even if Touma hadn’t done so under his own volition.Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 9 Chapter 3 Part 14
