## Quotes

* **I strive for something beyond the strongest, that challenging me would be the most ridiculous thought ever, that fighting me would be a sin!**
	+ Said to Misaka 10032 from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 03
* **People have done this much to you. Sorry for taking so long...to save you**.
	+ Said to Last Order from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 05
* **I'm too naive. With thoughts like "'If I saved someone maybe I can start all over again."**
	+ Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 05
* That's right, I killed over 10,000 of the Sisters, but this doesn't mean that I should just leave the remaining 10,000 to die. **I know that these words are hypocritical, I know that I have no right to say such words, but no matter how much of scum bags we are, no matter how many excuses we put forward, those can't be the reasons to kill this brat!!!**
	+ Said to Amai Ao from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 05
* You’re really pitiful. Listen, I’ll tell you one thing. That day, my brain was damaged alright. Looking at me now, you should know, right? That I can only use the electrodes and let the calculation work be done by others, right? If I enter a place where I can’t receive the clones’ electrowaves, I can’t let the clones do the calculation work for me. And even after therapy, I can’t even get half of my power. The battery of this thing can only allow me to fight for 15 minutes—but then again, **just because I’ve gotten weaker, it doesn’t mean that you got stronger, right?**
	+ Said to Musujime Awaki from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 08

* **It's useless! From here on, the path is only a One-way road! Just put your tail between your legs and get your ass back where you came from!**
	+ Said to Musujime Awaki from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 08
* In this pathetic state, I know it's impossible for me to ever become Academy City's "Strongest" again... But I've already made up my mind... **In the eyes of that brat I will always be the "Strongest," scumbag!**
	+ Said to Musujime Awaki from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 08
* They may all look the same to you, but there are different kinds and different levels of evil. **A first-class villain doesn't target honest lives.**
	+ Said to a maintenance crew member from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 14
* **Fine, now is a good time to teach you something: even Villains have standards!**
	+ Said to Kakine Teitoku from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 15
* I’m the Strongest Level 5, I don’t need brats worrying about me. **Listen, even if someone is suffering before you, the kind of person that can take up arms without hesitation to shoot down the villain is no better than a villain himself. The kind that doesn’t care about others, doesn’t give 2nd chances; someone that kills if given a reason, is definitely not a hero. You don’t have to become that kind of person. That’s my specialty. Only I have to go through that.**
	+ Said to child from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 19
* You god damn fucking pieces of shit!! You rotten fuckers look down on me thinking my powers can only be used to kill!! **I’ll show you right now!! Just like when I saved that brat from Amai’s virus back then, I’ll show you that I have the power to protect!!**
	+ From Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 20
* It’s ridiculous that a villain who was no better than a piece of shit like me was guarding her!! No matter how you think about it something must have been wrong!! **How could I possibly be a hero!! No matter what, I can only choose the blood-stained path!! Why do I have to do all these things!! If a hero like you had shown up earlier, then something like this mix-up of position wouldn’t have happened!! That brat would not had to have suffered as much this way!!**
	+ Said to Kamijou Touma from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 20
* **Aah!~ Fuck, I admit it! I want to protect her! I don't want to lose her!! I don't even want to think about the possibility of losing her!! I will face anything in order to protect this dream of mine!!**
	+ Regarding Last Order from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 21
* **I wanted to be with you forever, too.**
	+ Said to Last Order from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 22
* **I get it... this is what it means to fight to protect.**
	+ Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22
* **This is not a negotiation, a suggestion, a deal, an entreaty, an agreement, a compromise, or a capitulation. It’s my triumphant return, you fuckers.**
	+ Said to Academy City operatives from Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22
* **It’s true I have no real reason to protect her, but that’s no reason to just let her die.**
	+ Regarding Fremea Seivelun from Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 01
* **I have no interest in being a villain, and I don’t think that I can become a good person. I’m at a halfway point where I’m not even sure which path I should walk down… but I guess even there, I can still interfere in someone’s life and help bring things to a positive conclusion…**
	+ From Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 02
* **“I intend to repay my debt to the clones, but I have no intention of apologizing to you. You aren’t conveniently forgetting that you too were one of the ones responsible for that experiment, are you?”**
	+ Said to Misaka Mikoto during their corporation in Hawaii Invasion from Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 05
* I know…I know that. I know I’m just licking my own wounds. I know they only look like the real thing because I’m superimposing my own wounds over them. But even so…That is…**They are the final proof that those I killed ever existed. No matter how horrible a method they are being used for, they are still the final evidence that the lives I stole were ever here!!**
	+ Said to Mugino Shizuri, about the Dark Matter Sisters from Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 06
* **It’ll be all right. If you need something to prove you existed, I will be that remnant.** I will dig deeply into this world to leave behind an indelible mark that will prove that you were here as the ones who were sacrificed to the monster that I am. These twisted records are no longer needed. I just have to return you to a place where the dark side of science like me can’t reach you. I will end it all!!
	+ Said to the Dark Matter Sisters from Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 06
* **If you wish to leave some evidence behind, I will make a mark for you.**
	+ Said to a crumbling "Kakine Teitoku" Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 06
* **Interesting. Then let’s put you to the test, heroes. I’ll use these bloody hands to see if you are worthy of that name!!**
	+ Said to the "heroes" making a riot from Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 07
* **If that’s the most surefire, absolute, and safe way of ensuring their safety, then I ‘might as well’ kill her. I’m not a fan of getting swept away by pointless emotion and getting stabbed in the back for my trouble. And I’m even less of a fan when it’s someone else’s back getting stabbed.**
	+ Said to Touma during their fight in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 10

* **You can’t just write off everything they’ve done because ‘all’s well that ends well’. Whether you were blinded by greed or were nudged in that direction by someone, everyone is carrying something like that. We’re living on despite the suffering. You can’t just set that burden aside because it’s heavy!! You have to face it! Face yourself, you son of a bitch!! If you can’t do that, I’ll grab you by the hair and make you look! It’s the same damn thing you’ve done to so many other people!!**
	+ Said to Touma and Aleister Crowley in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 19

## Quotes about Accelerator

* That's not possible. I've met Accelerator face-to-face only once. But I could tell. **A battle with him wouldn't even be called a match. A battle, to him, is just a one-way road of slaughtering his opponent.**
	+ Misaka Mikoto to Kamijou Touma from Toaru Majutsu no Index Episode 13

* **Grit your teeth well, Strongest One. My weakest attack... might shake you up a little!**
	+ Kamijou Touma right before defeating Accelerator from Toaru Majutsu no Index Episode 14
* **In the end, you just don't have the power to finish this off like a hero.**
	+ Amai Ao after Accelerator collapses from Toaru Majutsu no Index Episode 20
* **See? He was able to do it... if he tried.**
	+ Yoshikawa Kikyou on Accelerator after he saved her and Last Order from Toaru Majutsu no Index Episode 20
* **"He's weak...He's been hurt so much that not only was he unable to protect what he held in his hands, but he even wore them out in the process. That's why I don't want to strain him anymore. This time Misaka will be the one who protects him,**" says Misaka as Misaka tries an honest declaration.
	+ Last Order to Kamijou Touma from Toaru Majutsu no Index II Episode 18
* Well, you can still make that fit within the acceptable margin of error, right? **But his mentality is much more juvenile than I had expected. He despises himself as evil, but I wonder if he realizes that is just the reverse side of his intense longing for good. …And yet the Imagine Breaker that the #1 is chasing after does not take action because he associates himself with neither good nor evil. That Imagine Breaker is merely acting according to the spirit that is welling up from within him. It is merely that what he does looks like good from the viewpoint of others.**
	+ Aiwass regarding Accelerator and Touma, said to Aleister Crowley from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 19
* Does a Level 0 like me really seem that incredible? Hero? Villain? Stop kidding around! Can't you save someone if you're not standing at that spot?! In front of your eyes are people that don't wish to cry that are crying! **In front of your eyes are people that can only clench their teeth while struggling and can’t even say the words 'please save me'! Is that not enough? Just step up already! You don’t need special positions or reasons!! With these, you can step up and be a shield for them!**
	+ Kamijou Touma to Accelerator from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 20
* I don’t know what you’re trying to protect, nor do I know what you have been hurt by. But, if you want to protect that child then do so with your chest held high! Here and now, be proud in knowing that you are protecting her! **This is your life right? Then decide for yourself! If you want to protect everything with your hands then do so, if you want to abandon everything then do so. But, what do you yourself want to do right now? Can you really be satisfied giving someone else that you don’t really understand your most important thing?**
