This article details **Kamijou Touma**'s relationships, whether hostile or friendly, between him and the people he has met in his misadventures.

## Relationships

Touma meets his allies and friends unexpectedly, and they help each other in many situations. Their connection with Touma were formed due to many reasons:

### Index

Touma views Index as a person that he has to protect at all costs. Despite knowing her only for a very short time, he decides to hide his memory loss from her to protect her feelings as he was captivated by her 'perfect smile'. Index lives with him and is a constant drain on his resources because of her enormous appetite. It is unknown if Touma feels anything romantic towards Index, but he does care deeply about her. Several of his actions in the story are due to him caring for her well-being, to the point that Stiyl even used this to his advantage in order to coerce Touma in aiding his mission, as well as to fool both the magic and science sides.

Index is the only person so far to have confessed her feelings for him, but due to his memory loss he doesn't know what kind of relationship they had previously so he puts the matter on hold. He has also been kissed on the cheek by her during the Daihaseisai, albeit accidentally, which made it awkward for them to properly talk to each other afterwards.

It has also been pointed out that, both before and after losing his memories, Touma is afraid of losing any connection with her and that she may leave his side one day.

### Stiyl Magnus

Stiyl Magnus is one of Touma's most recurring allies. Initially appearing as an enemy, he attempted to retrieve Index and reset her memories but is thwarted by Touma. After learning how Necessarius lied to him about Index's condition, he helps Touma save Index from her memory wipe. After that, he and Touma had been mostly in the same side several times fighting magicians, though Stiyl holds some resentment and jealousy towards the boy because of his closeness with Index, despite also being grateful for Touma saving Index.

### Othinus

The relationship between Othinus and Touma started as one of mutual enemies, with Touma seeing Othinus as one of the most dangerous foes he had ever faced. As the leader of GREMLIN, Othinus caused the Hawaii incident and the Baggage City incident, both of which greatly affected Touma. But they rarely met in person for most of the Gremlin Saga, their first encounter also ended with Othinus cruelly crushing Touma's arm and trying to kill him without a second of hesitation. While she acknowledged Imagine Breaker as a danger, Othinus thought that Touma himself is nothing but a *human* who doesn't know his place in the world, even going so far as to break his will by creating countless cruel worlds to show him how pitiful he is.

After some time, Othinus comes to realize that Touma has in fact become the only person capable of understanding her, as a result of going through the many worlds she created and searching for the one she belongs. These feelings cause her to abandon the goal of creating a new world or returning to her own with Imagine Breaker. She instead accepts his demand and returns the world to the one he is familiar with. As a result of this, Touma comes to realize that the one thing Othinus was ultimately looking for was understanding, which she'd originally hoped to find in her world but abandoned upon realizing she'd found someone who could. Realizing that she had resolved to die as the villain of the world in exchange for that brief respite, Touma decided to protect Othinus against the Anti-GREMLIN Alliance, saying he will face the entire world to save her.

Touma does not believe that she should get off easy for her actions in the past and thoroughly believes she should face a fair trial, but he refuses to permit her to be brutally murdered in the name of the Alliance's justice. After becoming allies, he becomes quite friendly and familiar towards Othinus, enough that she has to continually remind him that she's a god and that he shouldn't do so. Throughout the novel, Touma and Othinus develop an unbreakable bond where they rely upon each other, as pointed out when Touma confronts Silvia and Brunhild and ultimately when he saves Othinus.

Ollerus has said that if either Touma or Othinus died in front of one another, many changes could happen, with Touma changing his nature and Othinus becoming a monster far more cruel than what she was before.

Among all the characters in the series, Othinus can arguably be considered as the closest to Touma, often insisting to tag along with Touma in his pockets after becoming smaller, in spite of the danger, giving him advice in not only in the matters of magic but also showing off how much she understands Touma's nature Indeed, both Touma and Othinus herself have referenced their relationship as her being Touma's **Understander** (理解者, *Rikai-sha*?).

### Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley is Touma's arch-nemesis and the one who was partially responsible for his traumatic childhood. Even after losing his memories, Touma still despised Aleister, as he had begun to hate him for how much he had deceived and hurt him and those he cares about. While initially seeing him as a harmless element in his plan, Aleister also began to view Touma as a real threat when he started to interfere with his plans. Despite this, he still sees Touma and his Imagine Breaker as a key asset and thus will not dispose of him.

From Touma's point of view, Aleister can be defined as a "handful". Because of Touma's hatred of anything unjust and how his nemesis can be considered a troublesome old man who inflicts terrible things on his friends, he holds a great mutual loathing for the Board Chairman and his ambitions. Moreover, while Touma is in fact a key variable in his plans, Aleister refused to move in order to save him after falling into the abyss of the Arctic Sea to defeat Archangel Gabriel in World War III, because a major deviation occurred in his plans centered on Touma. Despite his general dislike of Aleister, Touma has never really taken account of his adversary and does not consider him his enemy in the true sense of the word. After learning about Aleister's past and motivations, Touma began to sympathize with him and vowed to tear down his illusions.

Their relationship is somewhat complicated, with the two of them having been summed up as "best frenemies." When presented with a more terrible threat that endangers both of them and their goals, Touma is willing to put aside his differences with Aleister and join forces with him to stop it, such as the emergence of Choronzon. In someways, Aleister can be seen as a pseudo-father figure to Touma. However, they both remain uneasy allies and while they usually act amicable with one another, the two can still occasionally be at odds.

### Misaka Mikoto

Touma first met Mikoto when she was being harassed by delinquents and, unaware of her Level 5 nature, he tried to save her. He accidentally made her angry, which led to her frying all of the delinquents herself. He quickly learns from his mistake, and in the first scene in the *Index* series he tries to save some other delinquents from her. He genuinely cares for her as shown during the Sisters Arc, when he stopped her from trying to get herself killed and consoled her when she cried. Mikoto was among the first people to discover Touma's memory loss, albeit by accident. Mikoto had a crush on Touma for a long time but she realized that she had fallen in love with him near the end of the Acqua of the Back Arc.

Since realizing her feelings, Mikoto has been willing to get involved in Touma's life, trying to rescue him during World War III and going with him to Hawaii during the Hawaiian Invasion Arc. During the latter incident, she also tried initiate a romantic relationship with him, though she backed up when trying to give him a ring she bought. At the end of the Hawaiian Invasion Arc, Mikoto told Touma that she will bear his burdens with him and that he is not alone. Touma was thankful for what Mikoto said, but he believed that he could not let her get wrapped up in his problems. When he returned to Academy City and is immediately caught up in a dangerous situation, she accepted that Touma cannot be held back in his actions, and will support him in his endeavours even if these were dangerous. She refers to it as a sign of being a "good woman". However, during the Agitate Halation Arc, she returned to her former outbursts relationship towards him. In the Magic God Othinus Arc, Mikoto confronts on Touma's ideals in protecting Othinus and preserving the “perfect world.” Despite his pleas, she doesn't believe his claim that a world without him would erase the sins connected to him. Telling Touma not to be bound by meaningless principles, and bear the weight of her future and six billion people. With a smile, Mikoto gives Touma an embrace, and shocks with him with her power, making him lose consciousness. Regardless of finally beating Touma at his game, Mikoto feels her victory is empty.

Despite Mikoto's desire to help Touma, her short-temper usually leads her to attack him before trying to figure out the situation around him. This has caused Touma to avoid seeing her since she ends up making things worse for him. While she doesn't hesitate to use her power on him, this is only because she knows he can block it. When he actually does get hurt, she usually panics about it. She never calls Touma by his name, only referring him as "you" or idiot.

### Hamazura Shiage

Touma and Hamazura were once enemies when Academy City had gave Skill-Out the task in assassinating Misaka Misuzu. After Touma saved Misuzu, Hamazura later reformed and became a grunt for ITEM. Touma's influence greatly inspired his philosophy of protecting the weak. Hamazura came to respect Touma after hearing about how he took part in World War III and even calls him "boss". He is also defensive of Touma, as shown when Kanou Shinka blamed Touma for not being able to save Frenda Seivelun in time before she died, which Hamazura found to be both unreasonable and impossible as Touma hadn't even known Frenda, much less known that she was in danger.

### Tsuchimikado Motoharu

Tsuchimikado is a friend of Touma and they, along with Aogami Pierce, make up the "idiot trio" of their class (クラスの三バカ lit "the three idiots of the class", also known as デルタフォース or "delta force"). He is also his neighbor. He is superior to Touma in fighting and Touma respects him for that. Likewise, Tsuchimikado respects Touma as a good person and even told Kanzaki that she can trust him. Tsuchimikado even went as far as to warn Aleister Crowley that if he continues toying with people lives, Touma would break his illusions.

As a spy from the Anglican Church (and other groups), he drags Touma under orders from the church to different missions like the English Civil War. Even if Touma does not want to go, Tsuchimikado uses extreme methods to carry out the order. For example, in the aforementioned arc, he tells Touma that Index is needed in England and (being her caretaker) Touma has to go with her. When Touma flat out refuses after what happened in the previous excursions, Motoharu simply throws a canister of knockout gas into his apartment and leaves them both stranded at the airport with no choice but forward.

### Accelerator

Touma and Accelerator started off on bad terms, due to Accelerator's willingness to participate in the Level 6 Shift Project, which involved him killing dozens of Misaka clones to reach Level 6. Touma was disgusted with Accelerator's lust for power and sadism towards the Sisters, which only motivated him to defeat him and put an end to the experiment. However, during the 0930 Incident, Touma and Accelerator managed to cooperate in find Last Order, although they only communicated through a cellphone and were not aware of each other's identities at the time. During World War III, Touma confronted a mentally-unstable Accelerator, who ranted about why he is unable to save Last Order the same way he had rescued more than 10,000 Sisters from certain death. He is also angry about being unable to do the saving himself. Touma eventually responds to Accelerator's frustrations, denying that he is special and pointing out that anyone is capable of saving who is in front of them; however, Touma urges Accelerator to make the initiative in saving that person he cherishes.

In New Testament, Touma befriends Accelerator and have been close allies ever since. During the Agitate Halation Project, Accelerator even goes as far as to say to Touma: "Do you know what you need to do?" and when Touma replied: "Yes." Accelerator declared: "Then go. I’m not the protagonist here." Touma replies: "These ‘heroes’ are being controlled by a project called Agitate Halation. Be careful." Accelerator finishes the conversation by saying: "Who do you think you’re talking to?" Here, it appears as if Accelerator has already managed to become confident in regards to his strength in relation to Touma's. However, Accelerator also acknowledges that he will never be quite like Touma and therefore lets Touma take the spotlight.

### Tsukuyomi Komoe

Tsukuyomi Komoe is Touma's homeroom teacher in a certain high school. She describes him as a naughty boy when he enrolled and says that *"a lot of things have happened*". She also states later on that she likes him, though she tries to take it back and states that she likes teaching him.

Touma thinks of her as a person whom he can rely on, as shown when he brings an injured Index to her dorm and consults her in order to find a solution for Index's memory issues (having 103,000 grimoires stored inside allegedly taking up most of the space) other than erasing the last year of her life to make room.

### Leivinia Birdway

Touma first met Leivinia when he ran away from some members of the Dawn-Colored Sunlight. During that time he thought that she was an innocent person who he had dragged in all this and took her with him, only to find out that she was the leader of the magic cabal he was running from. Later on, he was involved in a magic-related incident and Birdway explained that she's here to seek assistance from Index and Touma. There he found out through Mark Space that she is a person who would sacrifice her own subordinates in order to succeed in her plans.

In New Testament, she rescued him from the Arctic Ocean. He thought of her as someone cocky, but he still thought of her as someone he can rely on while she sees him as someone who is pretty tough and fun to play with. However, after a certain incident in Hawaii, he didn't trust her anymore and subsequently began to doubt trusting others so easily. Later on after their "fight and makeup" during the Ichihanaransai, he began to trust her again and acknowledged her as one of the most passionate and hardworking of people. Despite this, he's still wary of her being around him because she always cause him more trouble compared to others.

Both Silvia and Lessar have teased Leivinia that she thinks of Touma as something of a big brother to her.

### Shokuhou Misaki

Misaki was the first Level 5 that Touma encountered, one year before the start of the story. Their first encounter was on a corner in the Academy City in which Touma lost his phone, making him unable to save Mitsuari Ayu. After that they met at a lake where Misaki was considering resetting her brain to forget about all the evil of the city. Touma saw that and prevented her from doing it, speaking about her underwear being visible. Misaki in that moment tried to erase his memories and failed miserably. She discovered, much later, about the basic abilities of Imagine Breaker which she came to learn to bypass.

They continued to accidentally meet each other on various occasions. During one of these, Misaki was attacked by pigeons and, after Touma saved her, he gave her a whistle to use in case she was in trouble. She tried it and realized that it was her first indirect kiss as Touma had used it beforehand. To this point the whistle serves both as a memento and her connection to him, for Touma this was also done to prevent himself from being in a position of being unable to save someone again like with Mitsuari Ayu.

One day Misaki found herself being attacked by a group called Deadlock, who wanted to kill the Level 5, and Touma stood to protect her even after they offered to let him go. He protected her but was heavily injured in the process. As he needed treatment but could not receive anaesthetic due to low blood pressure, Misaki used her Mental Out to cut off his sense of pain so that the EMT could treat him. Touma's life was saved, but his "pathways that call in the memories" were damaged, causing him to lose his memories about Misaki and be unable to remember her even after other future encounters.

Touma was then the second person to whom Misaki had opened her heart to, the first was the deceased Dolly. Even while Touma was never capable of remembering their relationship, Misaki is not the least bothered by this as she continues to always trust him. This trust extends to how she was willing to aid Touma as he wanted to find the supposedly nearby Altar of the Wisdom King, despite on how she was completely new to the magic side. Unlike Misaka Mikoto, who was comically furious at Touma as she saw him at the Garden, Misaki was quick to understand about Touma's circumstances due to her previous experience with him, aware on how Touma is unlikely the person to have immoral motives, as she knows that people close to Touma have often manipulated him into such perverted situations.

Misaki is also the first girl to kiss Touma on her own, though only on his forehead. Just like Othinus, Touma claimed that Misaki has a unique scent like honey and he says that the smell is familiar to him, which gives hope to Misaki.
