Arrowhead Comet

The **Arrowhead Comet** (アローヘッド彗星, *Arōheddo Suisei*?) is a comet said to approach Earth once every 1700 years.

## Principles

Like most comets, the Arrowhead Comet is largely made of ice and dust. It was suspected that it might have a previously undiscovered type of achondrite that doesn't fit into the six known types, and thus might hold the key to secrets concerning the solar system's birth.

It only approaches Earth once every 1700 years, with its latest closest approach being around December of the story's first year.

### Parasatellite 01

**Parasatellite 01** (パラサテライト01, *Parasateraito 01*?) is an unnamed probe which was built by Academy City to land on the comet and investigate it. In order to land, the probe has to match the comet's one hundred thousand kph relative speed. Parasatellite 01 was intended to be launched from an underground silo-type mass driver in School District 23 in a single-stage launch, with the probe leaving the atmosphere and entering the desired orbit less than ten minutes after launch. A campaign was underway for sponsors, with the chance to win the right to name the seventh achondrite if it was discovered by the probe.

## Chronology

### Magic God Invasion Arc

*Main article: Magic God Invasion Arc*

On December 3rd, there is a large amount of media coverage in Academy City about the comet's imminent arrival and the possibility of a seventh achondrite being discovered. After being launched into space by the mass driver intended to send Parasatellite 01 to investigate the comet, the High Priest seizes control of the comet and attempts to use it to return to Earth. However Kihara Noukan kills the High Priest with the Anti-Art Attachment and destroys the comet before it can impact. The explosion from the collision at over Mach 20 shatters all the glass in Academy City.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

#### Level Upper Arc

*Main article: Level Upper Arc*
In the anime she first appears in class, listening to a lecture about Personal Reality. She later appears alongside Mako and Muu, wondering about Level Upper. They then run into Saten Ruiko, who has Level Upper and shares it with them. She then uses Level Upper, allowing her to improve her abilities. Her next appearance is in a park, practicing her abilities on Muu. Forgetting that she was using her abilities on Muu, Akemi drops her on the ground, which makes Mako mount Akemi's back as revenge. In the anime, she continues to practice her powers on cleaning robots. She eventually collapses as a result of using Level Upper and is sent to a hospital.

She reappears in the anime alongside her friends in a special class for users of Level Upper. After a lesson by Tsukuyomi Komoe, she gets tired and asks Mako to massage her, to which Ruiko replies that she is an old granny. Later, she joins the rest of the students in running laps around the track as part of training under Yomikawa Aiho. During Ruiko's confrontation with Elder Sister, Akemi is concerned for Ruiko's well-being but simply observes her. After Elder Sister leaves, Akemi smiles and agrees with Ruiko's statement about the use of Level Upper being cheating. When the special class ends, she joins Mako and Muu for a party to celebrate.

#### Poltergeist Arc

*Main article: Poltergeist Arc*
She, alongside Mako and Muu, appear briefly in a flashback where they celebrate Kazari's induction into Judgment. Her final appearance in the anime is in a park somewhere alongside Mako and Muu, looking at Kiyama Harumi's birthday present that was prepared by her students.

She says that she previously could only levitate a paper cup barely.
Aili Hexenphobia

**Aili Hexenphobia** (アイリ・ヘクセンフォビア, *Airi Hekusenfobia*?) is the Prime Minister of a small unnamed island nation in the Pacific, who appears in *Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Necessarius Special Admission Test*.

## Appearance

She is referred to as being in her late twenties.

## Personality

She is extremely patriotic, hence the trouble she went through in order to "free" her country from England's influence. She is also very confident and self-assured of her plans.

## Background

At some point in the past, Aili Hexenphobia became Prime Minister of her small island nation in the Pacific, part of Britain's "pound economy", as a figurehead and puppet of the ones who really held power.

Prior to her debut, with the summit of pound economies to occur in London, she was chosen as a representative of their country. However, she conspired with other pound economy leaders in order to free their countries from England's influence and usage of their ley lines for their own purposes. She "purchased" a spell from an unknown party that is derived from the legends of St. George to destroy the magical foundation of England while she is there: London.

Knowing of Freadia Strikers, part of the security from Necessarius tasked on protecting VIPs magically, may discover their plans as she investigated her and the other VIPs in order to better protect them, she ordered to Emilie Fordia to eliminate her.She knew of the situation regarding the Dusk Waiting to Awaken, and likely took advantage of it for the assassination attempt.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Necessarius Special Admission Test

*Main article: Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Necessarius Special Admission Test*
She is first seen in a VIP hotel room in Lambeth, London, where she shortly discovers that Emilie had failed. She is then visited by Anglican magicians, wanting to take her away for her actions. However, she was confident that her plans had already succeeded, encasing her room in a duralumin barrier in order to slow down the Anglican magicians, as her spell was to fall on London and destroy England's magical foundation. Confident in her success, she bragged about it and taunted the Anglican magicians trapped there.

However, after waiting for the barrier to open up she discovered that London remained intact, and then received a phone call from her co-conspirator, discovering that his or her country's magical foundation had been destroyed. Here, she discovers that the St. George spell she had was swapped to target pound economy countries instead. It is likely that the magical foundation of her country was obliterated as well.

## Abilities

She has a duralumin attaché case that automatically opens up to cover an entire room with duralumin, covering the floor, walls, and ceiling, as well as its exits and entrances.

## Quotes

* (To Anglican magicians, from her debut): *"Now!! Be destroyed, London! Let the resulting chaos weaken England and lead to our liberation!!”*
Altar of the Wisdom King

The **Altar of the Wisdom King** (明王の壇, *Myōō no Dan*?) is a most likely non-existent spiritual item made up by Tsuchimikado Motoharu in order to preoccupy Kamijou Touma long enough for him to go in his quest for vengeance against the "killing" of Tsuchimikado Maika.

## Etymology

A Wisdom King is a type of wrathful deity in East Asian Buddhism.

## Principles

The Altar is a special type of Homa altar, an item used by Vajrayanans for mental training. Normally, a Homa altar is used to alter the user’s mind. The altar cleanses worldly thoughts to increase one’s focus, so they are not all that dangerous. However, the Altar of the Wisdom King takes advantage of that ability. Instead of acting outwardly, it acts inwardly. It is a special altar created to alter the minds of others. Once it is used, it will suck out all of the knowledge and skills of everyone within 5 kilometers. Not only that, the act of sucking that knowledge and skill destroys, apparently similar to the destruction of synapses and automatic nerves.

## Chronology

### Agitate Halation Arc

*Main article: Agitate Halation Arc*
Motoharu first mentions the item alongside that of Umezaki Yuuga, the magician who intends to use it, after he delivers a knocked out Touma in a locker room in School Garden inside a container. Touma then spends the entirety of the first chapter of the volume on a wild goose chase with the help of Shokuhou Misaki controlling a student. He promptly abandons the search after arriving at the most likely location where the supposed magician and Altar of the Wisdom King should be, as well as the fact that he discovers news of the "death" of Tsuchimikado Maika.
Dream Ranker Arc

Several Indian Poker cards.

The **Dream Ranker Arc** (天賦夢路（ドリームランカー）編, *Dorīmu Rankā-hen*?) is the seventh story arc of the *Toaru Kagaku no Railgun* sidestory.

The story arc is based on the Indian Poker cards, devices that allow people to look into and learn from the dreams of other people, as well as events related to its creator, Kuriba Ryouko, and the inhabitants of Academy City that use, distribute and profit from the cards themselves. The arc is named after the Dream Rankers, people who produce Indian Poker cards.
Austria

Flag of Austria

**Austria** (オーストリア, *Ōsutoria*?), officially **Republic of Austria**, is a country located in central Europe. Austria shares boarders with eight countries; Czech Republic and Germany to the north, Hungary and Slovakia to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume SS2

*Main article: Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume SS2*
On the Second Friday of October, Misaka 10501 was one of the Sisters sent to Gemstone Mining research organizations around the world. She was sent to Salzburg, Austria, at the International Superior Gene Bank, to destroy the facilities and rescue the gemstone there. During her periodic progress report, she had just spotted a white kitty, but quickly refocused her self as it was hardly the time for that and reluctantly returned to the battle.

## Locations

The locations listed below are locations which have been featured or referenced in some form within the series.
Black World

The **Black World** (黒一色の世界, *Heī̄sou no sekai*?) is a phase-shifted state of the world or reality. As its name states, it is a black world of nothingness, and serves as a temporary blank canvas for Othinus after "destroying" the world.

## Principles

As its name suggests, the black world is an empty world where everything is black. Somehow the ground is perfectly flat and Kamijou Touma described it as even more level and free of defect than the silicon wafer of a semiconductor. As it extends through the "horizon", the ground does not rise or fall by even a micron. Also, it is said that everything is pure black, that neither the sky nor the ground can be distinguished from each other. There is nothing in it, not even valleys, mountains, the sun or the moon. It seems to go on to infinity that when someone continues walking through it, that person won't remember where he is going or came from. Moreover, it can somehow support living beings as if it had air, since both Touma and Othinus had no problem being in there despite the nothingness. However it is likely that with her tremendous power, Othinus is the one that allows this effect to take place.

The black world was brought by Othinus's manipulation of the phases to 'end' the world, and recreated between the different versions of the world that Othinus created. It was also what remained of the world when it was blown apart as Othinus threw Gungnir. During these phase shifts, there remained one last phase that Othinus couldn't change or even detect.

## Chronology

#### Shifting and Fluctuating World

After Othinus acquired Gungnir and 'ended' the world, Touma initially woke up in the black world, finding Othinus also there. At first, he still didn't accept the reality that the world had truly ended but after walking for a long time through this world to find if there were other people left, he realized that they were the only ones left and that the world had already ended, and went back to Othinus determined to bring everything back to normal.

The black world was revisited various times by Touma and Othinus during Othinus's many recreations of the world in an attempt to break Touma's spirit. In the final battle between the two, after losing Gungnir, Othinus used the entire black world as her crossbow.

Ambrosia

**Ambrosia** (アムブロシアー, *Amuburoshiā*?) is a small magical fruit that appears in the world of *Toaru Majutsu no Index*.

## Etymology

The name comes from the ambrosia of Greek mythology, where it is often times referred to as either the food or drink of the Greek gods, that confers ageless immortality upon whoever consumes it.

## Principles

In the *Toaru Majutsu no Index*, Ambrosia appears as a small cone-like fruit that, when consumed, gives whoever has eaten it ageless immortality, making them forever appear in whatever form they have upon consuming it. The effects of the ambrosia not only gives the one who has eaten it eternal protection from death of old age, but apparently virtually form of death imaginable as well, terrestrial or extraterrestrial, as Ladylee Tangleroad personally experienced.

Moreover, anyone who has eaten the fruit can never use magic on their own, as it twists the cycle of their life force necessary for creating magic, as such one requires others to do magic for them.

It is unknown if the Imagine Breaker is able to negate the effects of ambrosia.

## Background

During the Crusades, Ladylee Tangleroad came upon an injured crusader, whom she ended up saving. As thanks for saving him the man gave ambrosia to Ladylee, who tried to turn down his offer at first, but eventually yielded. She later ate the fruit, and from then became immortal.
A Certain Middle-High School

**A Certain Middle-High School** (とある中高一貫校, *Toaruchūkōikkan*?) is a currently unnamed, combined middle and high school located in Academy City's School District 7, where Kamijou Touma and his classmates went after A Certain High School was heavily damaged and rendered unusable.

## Background

As the school is a combined middle and high school, there is a tutoring system in place which has high school students act as tutors for middle school students, giving them one-on-one lessons to help the middle school students advance to the high school. The system is also meant to stop middle school students from choosing other high schools after graduating. The standard score is 65.

The student council is apparently comprised of around ten boys and girls, with a ratio of about 2:8. The student council president is Keshouin Asuka, aka Jumpy Bunny, however in the name and process of helping out Asuka, Akikawa Mie has effectively taken over the council without realizing it.

## Chronology

### Salome Arc

*Main article: Salome Arc*
On December 4th, after A Certain High School was left unusable by the damage caused by the High Priest the previous day, the students and staff moved to the nearby combined middle and high school, borrowing the unused facilities to continue lessons until their school could be repaired. Kamisato Kakeru also transferred to the school.

### Element Arc

*Main article: Element Arc*
During the abnormal December heat wave, the school was used as a shelter by students and staff, both from the heat and the Elements which were loose in the city. On December 7th, with the water situation still bad despite several water hunts and the possibility of trouble for the extra students, members of the student council proposed a plan for a group of them to acquire water purification microbes from the district's water department, in order to purify the pool water and make it safe for drinking. Touma's group agreed to carry out this plan, setting out early the next morning. They succeeded in obtaining cultivation samples containing microbes, but were attacked by Elements, resulting in Touma being separated from the group.

### Kamisato Rescue Arc

*Main article: Kamisato Rescue Arc*
After the end of the heat wave and the destruction of the Elements, students remained at the school shelter during the 48 Hours to Restore Order. On December 11th, when Useful Spider declared the end of the '48 Hours to Restore Order', the students finally returned home.

Battle of Buckingham Palace

## Battle of Buckingham PalacePart of the **British Halloween**

Elizard empowers the people of the United Kingdom with the power of the Curtana Original using the Union Jack spiritual item.

## Information

### **Result**

* **Decisive Government victory**
* Destruction of the Curtana Original
* Restoration of Elizard as the head of state

## Belligerents

* + Anglican Church
	+ Amakusa-Style Remix of Church
	+ Knights faction

  Acqua of the Back
	+ Royal Navy

## Commanders and Leaders

* Kanzaki Kaori
* Knight Leader
* ---
* Acqua of the Back

## Casualties and Losses

* London is damaged and much of the area around Buckingham Palace including the building itself is badly damaged.

The **Battle of Buckingham Palace** is the final battle in the British Halloween, culminating in the defeat of Carissa and the end of her coup. Occurring on 3 AM of October 18, the battle initially starts with the Anglican Church forces entering London accompanied with the bombardment of the palace by the Coven Compass and Selkie Aquarium mobile fortresses. However, after arriving at the palace, they are unable to quickly take down Carissa and Curtana Original, protracting the battle.

The battle eventually ends with the combined efforts of the Anglican Church, Acqua of the Back, and the reformed Knights Faction, as well as many of the citizens of London after Elizard distributed the power of the Curtana Original to them. Kamijou Touma would later deliver the finishing blow to Carissa, destroying Curtana Original in the process.

## Background

With the overloading of the Curtana Original, the Anglican Church forces are able to even the odds a bit in their favor, severely weakening Carissa and her Knights. Despite this, the Anglican Church forces are still aware of the power that Carissa wields. Moreover, they are unable to mount an attack immediately after the overloading as London is covered in Telesma that was expelled by the Curtana Original, since their forces rely on magic to defeat Carissa and the knights, and the dense Telesma makes it dangerous for them to use magic in London. Because of this, the Anglican Church forces spend their time preparing for their assault on Buckingham Palace, as well as gathering as much of their forces as they can. It eventually reaches over 500 people.

Carissa originally intended to use Buckingham Palace to make adjustments on the Curtana Original after the Battle of Folkestone, but after the overloading of the Curtana Original is later forced to defend her ground from the palace against the Anglican Church forces.
Bee Launcher

**Bee Launcher** (ビーランチャー, *Bīranchā*?) is a custom Powered Suit used by Silvercross Alpha.

## Appearance

The Bee Launcher is a huge powered suit that has a giant sensor dome for a head, 2 arms and 2 legs. Additionally it has 12 poles extending from his back. Each of these poles can store 10 Edge Bees; making a total of 120 Edge Bees.

## Principles

The Bee Launcher is a reconnaissance Powered Suit specialist in gathering information. The 12 poles on its back serve as both hives for the Edge Bees and high precision antennas. It can receive video information from the many Edge Bees it carries, intercept signals from other machines like the cleaning robots and security robots common in Academy City and it can also deploy cables from the suit that gather information from communications network or security cameras.

However it is not a battle suit and the only weapon it has are the Edge Bees. Still, it posses enough physical strength to knock a car into the air; the car making three flips before falling down. It is also able to eject Silvercross Alpha just before its complete destruction.

## Chronology

### Freshmen Arc

*Main article: Freshmen Arc*
Silvercross Alpha uses this Powered Suit in the attack of the Freshmen to the private salon used as a hideout by Hamazura Shiage and Fremea Seivelun, deploying its Edge Bees inside of the building. However, it proves to be no match for Accelerator, who tears its arm off and destroys it.
Andou

**Andou** (安堂（あんどう）, *Andō*?) is a student of Tokiwadai Middle School, first appearing in *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 16*.

## Appearance

During the heat wave, Andou wore a racing swimsuit like the other girls at Tokiwadai. At other times, she presumably wears the standard Tokiwadai uniform.

## Personality

Andou appears to be somewhat sheltered and had apparently not touched a 'gentleman' in her life.

## Background

Andou is the daughter of president of Andou Frozen Foods Group, a frozen food company.

## Chronology

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Element Arc

*Main article: Element Arc*
On December 10th, Misaka Mikoto brought Kamijou Touma to School Garden, while Andou and other Tokiwadai girls are discussing Kamijou Touma, rumors concerning gentlemen and why Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki are working so hard, with the daughter saying she must bring glory to the group's future.

## Abilities

As a student of Tokiwadai Middle School, Andou can be assumed to be an esper with a Level of 3 or 4, though her esper ability isn't known.
Airship

The Academy City **airships** (飛行船, *Hikōsen*?) or **Blimps** are lighter-than-air aircraft that can be steered and propelled through the air using rudders and propellers or other thrust mechanisms. It is one of the most recognizable features of Academy City, probably second only to the Three-bladed Propeller wind turbines.

## Appearance

* Hand drawn airship from the first *Toaru Majutsu no Index* season, note the lack of television screen.
* A computer generated airship from the second *Toaru Majutsu no Index* season.
1/2
The third *Toaru Majutsu no Index* light novel where the airship first appears does not give a detail description of the airship's physical appearance. The first actual visual depiction of the blimp is in the 11th chapter of the *Toaru Majutsu no Index* manga, showing an ellipsical balloon, a gondola at the bottom, flanked with rudders, and a screen on the side.

It is not until the advent of the *Toaru Majutsu no Index* anime adaptation that the look of the airship is finalized. Here the airship retains its elliptical shape but tapers at the back where the tails is, under it are the gondola and two propellers, and on the top is another rudder. The screen on both sides of the airship, though originally it did not show that it was screen and it was as if the skin of the balloon projected the images itself, though the anime would rectify this. The airship is colored beige and would later become incorporated later in both *Index* and *Railgun* manga.

## Principles

### Mechanics

The blimp uses solar power to heat carbon dioxide with a heater for lift and spin a large motor for thrust, as such it is an ecological craft that does not need fuel.

### Purpose

According to Kamijou Touma, the Academy City Board of Directors wanted to have the students be more aware of current events. As such, the airships often broadcasted news, current events, weather reports, and announcements through its television screen and sound system. In the narrative, its purpose is to foreshadow or add backstory to the plot unfolding in the story, like the airships announcing that several research institutes related to muscular dystrophy have shut down, referring to Misaka Mikoto's actions behind the scenes during the Level 6 Shift prior to Touma's involvement.

The airship can apparently be either be borrowed or rented for private use, as seen when Kiyama Harumi's students decided to broadcast their birthday greetings to her.

The airships are apparently being tested to be used as part of an emergency air communications network through the use of the few antennae installed on them. The airships could sent out when normal towers were brought down in a disaster. This technology was developed from the Handy Antenna Service.

## Chronology

### Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Christmas Day Arc

*Main article: Christmas Day Arc*
On Christmas Day, Anna Sprengel brought down an airship over School District 7 during her battle with Kamijou Touma, rupturing and igniting its gasbag from afar.
Adriatic Sea

The **Adriatic Sea** (アドリア海, *Adoriakai*?), **Mare Adriatico** in Italian, is a large body to the east of Italy, separating the Italian Peninsula from the Balkan peninsula and the Apennine Mountains from the Dinaric Alps and adjacent ranges.

The sea is the site of the engagement between Amakusa-Style Remix of Church led by Tatemiya Saiji and the Roman Catholic Church lead by Biagio Busoni on the flagship of the La Regina del Mare Adriatico.

## Principles

The Adriatic is an important body of water to its inhabitants. Venice is referred with several titles that points to its connection of with the Adriatic, such as the Water Capital, Queen of the Adriatic Sea, and Bride of the Adriatic Sea. This is because Venice was originally a marine military state controlling the Adriatic Sea. According to Orsola Aquinas, every year, Venice would have a national-level "wedding with the sea" ceremony. At that time when it was still its own country, the ruler of the country would throw a gold ring into the Adriatic Sea to symbolize the merging of Venice and the Adriatic Sea and be closer to it.

Moreover, even La Regina del Mare Adriatico is named after the sea, and many of its ships are formed from the waters of its sea.

## Notable Locations

Avignon

**Avignon** (アヴィニョン, *Avinyon*?) is a French commune (city) in southeastern France, and is bordered by the left bank of Rhône river. Often referred to as the "City of Popes" because of the Avignon Papacy, along with the Palais des Papes, it is the site of the final Catholic riots that came about because of the usage of the Document of Constantine prior to World War III, after which Academy City intervened. Because of this, the city is devastated and in ruins with most of its population displaced due to their forced evacuation.

## Principles

Avignon is an old town in southern France surround by about 4 kilometers of castle walls. There are a large number of buildings crammed into the limited space in the city. In the city's golden age, it was hugely influential on the entire culture of Europe. Partially because of that, it was still one of the leading tourist spots in France.

There are stone housing complexes towering up 15 meters high in the city, making it difficult to take detours.

## Background

Avignon was apparently built around the Palais des Papes or the Palace of the Popes. At the end of the 13th century, there was a dispute between the Roman Catholic Pope and the French king, and the winner of that dispute was the French king. He gained the right to order around the Pope at the time. One of his orders was for the Pope to leave his headquarters and come live in France. Thus beginning the Avignon Papacy starting in the early 14th century. According to Itsuwa, apparently the French wanted to control the Pope in order to use the various privileges and benefits the Roman Catholic Church had. Avignon was chosen as the place to imprison the Pope, and the palace the Pope was imprisoned in what is now known as Palais des Papes, and reigned there starting from 1309 up until the last one left for Rome to continue his papacy in 1376.

However, due to the fact that there are certain things that only a Pope could within the Papal States, territories under the sovereign direct rule of the Pope, such as magical devices or spiritual tools that could only be done within the Papal States. As such the Roman Catholic Church created a magical pipeline, a sort of Vatican–Avignon pipeline, that could control the devices in the Papal States long distance.

## Chronology

### Document of Constantine Arc

*Main article: Document of Constantine Arc*
Avignon was the site of the last of the Anti-Academy City riots caused by the Document of Constantine, located in close proximity at the Palais des Papes. Following the riot and Academy City's subsequent intervention, a large part of the city was left in ruins and its residents displaced.

## Notable Locations

The locations listed below are locations which have been featured or referenced in some form within the series.
Air Bag

**Air Bag** (空気風船（エアバッグ）, *Kūki Fūsen (Ea Baggu)*?, lit. "Air Balloon", Yen Press: **air-bagging**) is an esper ability that has the viscosity of the air changed to be able make it as cushioning material. It is one of the group protection abilities, along with Shock Absorber.

A Tokiwadai Middle School student uses the ability in the Ball Tossing game in the Daihaseisai against the boys of Minamikawa Middle School due to the destructive powers of her fellow teammates, allowing for those to get hit and blown away to be unharmed. Due to its presence in Tokiwadai Middle School, the power may have been at least Level 3.
Acqua of the Back Arc

## Acqua of the Back ArcPart of the **God's Right Seat Saga**

Crosses of light appear in the battle with Acqua of the Back.

### Anime

The **Acqua of the Back Arc** is the fifteenth story arc of *Toaru Majutsu no Index*. Part of the overarching God's Right Seat Saga storyline, it deals primarily with the attempts of the Amakusa Christian Church's, and later, Kanzaki Kaori, at defeating Acqua of the Back before he completes his attempt in destroying, in what he believes to be, the center of the chaos spreading throughout the world, Kamijou Touma and his Imagine Breaker. It features a second infiltration of Academy City by a God's Right Seat member, the first arc to feature a Saint vs. Saint battle, the first physical appearance of God’s Right Seat leader, Fiamma of the Right, and the fate of Vento of the Front after her defeat in the invasion of Academy City.

A subplot in this story arc is Mikoto's realization of Touma's memory loss and her confrontation with him.
AIM Bomb

The **AIM Bomb** was a bomb constructed by STUDY and to be used as a last resort by them for their Silent Party to kill all espers. It was utterly destroyed by Misaka Mikoto after using her Railgun, using a large mecha as ammunition against it.

## Principles

Using 5,000 filaments of Janie's hair, whose hair can be used as a transmitter for her ability, the missile is released into the atmosphere over Academy City. There, Janie's Diffusion Ghost will then run wild and cause a fission chain reaction of all AIM Diffusion Fields in Academy City. The missile travels at a speed of 7 kilometers per second.

The missile was hidden upon Endymion's orbital station, 35,000 kilometers above the earth's surface, and then the missile's warhead will then split into 5,000 smaller warheads when it is 30,000 kilometers above the earth.

## Trivia

* The AIM bomb resembles a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System missile.
Academy City Level 6 Experiments

Relevant topics on**Science**

**Academy City Level 6 Experiments** is a collective term used to refer to the various experiments being conducted by Academy City in an effort to achieve Level 6 or SYSTEM. Both in *Toaru Majutsu no Index* and *Toaru Kagaku no Railgun*, there are mentions of scientists in Academy City who work on the development of the first Level 6 esper, one whose abilities are supposedly equivalent to "Absolute Power".

All known attempts to achieve Level 6 have had a member of the Kihara Family involved somehow.

## Principles

Several factions and organizations are after the title of being the first to create a Level 6 esper, and as such, more often than not they are rivals and this results in them sabotaging each others work. Though many experiments are kept secret, due to the highly sensitive and illegal nature of some of the experiments and the actions performed as part of them, others are allowed by the Academy City Board of Directors, regardless of any moral implications, the illegality of the experiments, or the breaking of international treaties.

### The Level 6 Shift Project

*Main article: Level 6 Shift Project*
With Kihara Gensei as the main proponent,the Level 6 Shift Project is an experiment designed for Accelerator - Academy City's strongest esper - to achieve Level 6. By killing Misaka Mikoto, the Railgun, 128 times in combat, Accelerator would be able to achieve Level 6. However, since 128 Railguns could not be prepared, according to the Tree Diagram, 20,000 clones of Mikoto that are taken from the Sisters Project, can be used as a substitute and it would similarly lead to Accelerator becoming Level 6.

The experiment was apparently allowed by the Board of Directors, since Academy City is always under surveillance and the experiment were being conducted on the outside, though no security alerts were triggered during such experiments. Despite Misaka Mikoto attacking and destroying multiple production and research facility, the experiments continued without any interruption. Mikoto theorized that the value of the level Six was so much that the losses were acceptable.

### Ability Body Crystal Experiments

*Main article: Ability Body Crystal*
Created by Kihara Gensei, the crystal in question was extracted from the essences of overloaded espers; Therestina Kihara Lifeline, Gensei's granddaughter, was used as the 'First Sample', extracting her essences to form the crystal. The exposure of the crystal to certain espers that display greater powers than their levels implies that under certain conditions it can create a Level 6.

Through the years, Gensei tried to refine the crystal and its effects; in one notable experiment, Gensei exposed the crystal to Kiyama Harumi's students to gather data, overloading the children and forcing them in a comatose state.

Therestina continued her grandfather's research on the crystal and nearly succeeded in the creation of a Level 6, even though she was in truth destinated to fail as the Tree Diagram had given hopeless response, and the apparent destruction of the city, if it not for the efforts of Misaka Mikoto and her comrades.

**Bayard** (ベイヤード, *Beiyādo*?) is a metal horse, used for transportation and capable of evading magical detection.

## Etymology

*Bayard* is the name of magical bay horse, appearing in French folklore, possessing the ability to change size depending on his riders.

## Appearance

Bayard is constructed of a silver metal, cast in the shape of a horse. Folded up, it is about 1m high. The name Bayard is carved on it.

## Principles

Much like a real horse, Bayard is capable of transporting a rider. It is capable of moving on auto-pilot to a pre-set destination. Though it doesn't possess the effects of the horse written about in literature, Bayard is able to slip past and hide from magical searches.

The horse can be folded up so that its legs are tucked under its body. On being stroked on the neck, the horse unfolds and rises onto its legs. On being tapped, the horse starts moving.

Brick Wharf

**Brick Wharf** (レンガ埠頭, *Renga Futō*?) is a magical facility in northern Scotland which functions as the centre of the northern British defence line, which protects the country from invaders.

## Appearance

Brick Wharf covers an area of about 400 square meters and consists of harbor with many buildings comprised, as its name suggests, of red bricks.

## Principles

Brick Wharf uses a long-range Interception Spell with an effective range of 200km. The spell analyses the type of magic used by hostile magicians and sends out the signal most effective against that type, via an invisible magical bombardment along a line over a meter in diameter, sending the target's magic out of control. It is able to lock onto 50 targets at a time and attack 20 of them in an instant.

## Background

The facility originates from the time of the Industrial Revolution. At some point after that time, the Anglican Church remodeled the unused harbor into a magical facility.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index: Kanzaki SS

*Main article: Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Kanzaki*
Brick Wharf was the site of an incident caused by its manager, Slappar. In order to overcome a defect which prevent, he created a being known as Alfar which accelerated and distorted evolution in other living beings, intending to use it to evolve himself regardless of the harm it could cause the world's environment. When Alfar discovered what she was capable of and why she had been created, she drove out Slappar and took over the facility, intending to isolate herself from the outside world and prevent further distortion.

Due to this, Slappar was forced to contact Necessarius for assistance. Kanzaki Kaori, the Jeans Shop Owner and the Tour Guide managed to get to 3km from Brick Wharf, sneaking from cover to cover. After confirming the situation, Kanzaki emerged from the thicket they were hiding in and approached the facility, repeatedly switching between magic styles to render the bombardment ineffective. After reaching the facility, she began investigating inside and made contact with Alfar. Not long afterwards, Slappar, having deceived the Necessarius agents, also entered the facility, using a tanker full of super-cooled water to make millions of microscopic runes, melting a hole in the wall with a wave of acid. With runes spread throughout the building, he prepared to take on Kanzaki but lost the will to fight after she apparently slew Alfar. Afterwards, Slappar was taken away to face punishment while Alfar was transferred to another facility so a means to seal her ability could be found.

### Novel

GT Volume 6

**Akayoshiki Marisa** (赤好木 真理沙, *Akayoshiki Marisa*?) is a character introduced in *Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index*. She is a very powerful esper who leads a secret group called the Union.

## Appearance

Marisa has long pink hair with two pigtails at the sides of her head. She has pink eyes and wears a long coat around her shoulders, which once belonged to her now-deceased grandfather, who was part of the navy. She is also surprisingly quite busty.

## Personality

She is an idealistic and single-minded leader. Her straightforward actions stand out among her peers. Marisa believes that the bigger the sword, the better, because that way, she can defeat her enemy. Being the leader of The Union, she is very steadfast and dutiful.

## Background

Marisa's background is largely unknown, but apparently her grandfather was in the navy.

## Abilities

Akayoshiki Marisa's esper power is known as **Bulk Shift** (密度変更（バルクシフト）, *Mitsudo Henkō (Baruku Shifto)*?, lit. "Density Alteration"), a very powerful esper ability which allows her to manipulate the density and sparseness of any object, including the intangible and abstract. As Marisa increases an object's density, it becomes hotter and hotter, and as she decreases it, the object slowly disperses into a fine mist. She can use this ability on herself to split herself into multiple, smaller bodies, grow in size, or even transform into a mist herself and spread over a wide area, allowing her to keep an eye on everything within this area. It's also possible for Marisa to even affect minds and souls, and start parties by gathering people's thoughts from across the entirety of Academy City. By causing someone's mind to disperse, she can cause them to grow unfocused and space out. She can also increase her own density to increase her strength, manipulate gravity, and even create black holes.
Alfred Thirdman

**Alfred Thirdman** (アルフレッド・サーマン, *Arufureddo Sāman*?) is a minor character introduced in *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index*. He is the base commander of Grand Arrow Air Force Base.

## Chronology

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Hawaii Invasion Arc

*Main article: Hawaii Invasion Arc*
He first appears shortly after the discovery of mercenaries invading Hawaii and the Kilauean eruption. Here, he discovers that tanker ships and passenger ships were actually disguised to hold landing ships, and are now invading the eight islands of Hawaii. Seeing the reports regarding the volcanic eruption's ash, he is dismayed that he cannot support the troops in Hawaii with air support, as well as anti-ship missiles preventing him from sending out support ships. He tries to contact the Dirty Lance in Texas to use ballistic warheads at high altitude to blow away the volcanic ash, hoping that it would lead the way for them aid Hawaii with aerial units, despite the fears that the Vice-President will just get in the way.

By the end of the invasion, no ballistic missiles were launch from either the Grand Arrow Air Force Base in California or from the Dirty Lance in Texas, possibly due to the efforts of the Vice-President.

## Quotes

* (To a subordinate in NT3):*"In all likelihood, reality will get in our way... But given the situation, I want as many usable cards as I can get. I want to be able to move as quickly as possible in the unlikely event we are given the opportunity."*
Auribus oculi fideliores sunt

***Auribus oculi fideliores sunt.*** is the name of an independent paparazzi-like website that focuses mainly around, as it is been revealed by this point, tracking down and recording the movements of the celebrities and spreading rumors that circle around Academy City (even further).

## Etymology

The sentence *Auribus oculi fideliores sunt.* is Latin for *The Eyes Are More Trustworthy Than The Ears.*, a reference to how the site focuses on spreading rumors with the help of photographic pictures rather than just hearsays.

## Principles

Its unnamed and unseen editor is mentioned to be an Esper with the power to make extremely clear photographic pictures by using reflections and reflective surfaces (even a mere drop of water can be used as an acceptable reflective surface).

### Anime

The **British Royal Family Arc** (イギリス王室編, *Igirisu Ōshitsu-hen*?) is the sixteenth story arc of the *Toaru Majutsu no Index* series. Also called the **English Civil War Arc** in the Western *Toaru Majutsu no Index* fandom, the arc focuses on a magical conflict in the United Kingdom, as Second Princess Carissa launches a coup d'état on the throne with the backing of the Knights of England using the Curtana Original. She is opposed by her sister Villian, who has the aid of Necessarius, including Index and Kamijou Touma, the two originally in England to investigate a magical attack on the Eurotunnel.

The end of this arc, as well as the next arc, would immediately segue into the final arc of the *Toaru Majutsu no Index* light novels. In this arc, the end of the civil war is marked with Kamijou Touma's first confrontation with Fiamma of the Right, who had taken advantage of the chaos to steal a spiritual item that control Index and grants him access to the Grimoires in her memory. This is followed by Touma leaving Index in the care of Necessarius as he chases after Fiamma into Russia, alone.
