AIM Analytic Research Center

The **AIM Analytic Research Center** (AIM解析研究所, *AIM Kaiseki Kenkyūsho*?) is an Academy City scientific facility, dedicated to the research and analysis of AIM. This is where Kiyama Harumi was employed and did her research on creating the Level Upper, before being detained as it's creator.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

#### Level Upper Arc

*Main article: Level Upper Arc*
Uiharu Kazari visits Kiyama Harumi in the building, with important data regarding the Level Upper. Here, Kiyama consoles Uiharu that everything will be fine and later leaves her alone in her office. Uiharu then discovers her involvement with the Level Upper Incidents and gets kidnapped by her.

After Judgment and Anti-Skill discover her involvement and Uiharu's kidnapping, some members of Anti-Skill search her office and question the researchers in the building. They later get access to Kiyama's personal computer, however it crashes as Kiyama had rigged it if one does not follow the procedures in accessing it.
Annihilatus

Leaders| * Vasilisa

**Annihilatus** (殲滅白書（Annihilatus）, *Senmetsu Hakusho (Annihilatus)*?, lit. "Policy of Extermination") is the secret branch of the Russian Orthodox Church that deals with magic, specifically the disposal of spirits and such that should not exist. It is the Russian counterpart of the Anglican Church's Necessarius, which instead hunts witches.

## Organization

The leadership of Annihilatus is separate from the Russian Orthodox Church unlike the Anglican Church, whose head, Laura Stuart, also leads Necessarius and therefore contributes to its role in its Church's structure. It is implied in Volumes SS1 and 18 that Annihilatus is only a side group within the Russian Orthodox Church and does not have much influence over it at all.

## Principles

To Annihilatus, a wandering spirit should be eliminated, as it is "something that should not exist" in this world, as the soul is meant to go to heaven, hell or the purgatory, and not remain in the world. Annihilatus normally forcibly erases demons, ghosts and other such phenomena rather than trying to "send them off" to the next world in a peaceful manner, regardless of their circumstances. To do this, they won't hesitate to use Magic banned since Rasputin's corruption of the Russian government, and it isn't rare for them to destroy everything in the area their targets appear, leaving no remains and making major changes to the surrounding terrain. Though they carry weapons and interrogation tools that are powerful against malign spirits, Annihilatus is not suited for interrogating and hunting down humans, if ever the situation calls for it.

Automatic Writing

**Automatic Writing** (自動書記, *Jidō Shoki*?, Yen Press: **Automatic Clerk**) is writing in which what is written is produced from a subconscious, and/or external and/or spiritual source without conscious awareness of the content. Although also called as **Psychography**, which can refer to an esper power, Automatic Writing is always referred to in the series as part of magic.

## Etymology

In the series, Automatic Writing uses the same kanji with Index's John's Pen Mode, but is to be read differently. The kanji for John's Pen Mode, should be translated as Automatic Secretary, rather than Automatic Writing, as to fit with the fact that Index's mind becomes "hijacked."

## Chronology

### Kazakiri Hyouka Arc

*Main article: Kazakiri Hyouka Arc*
The first time Automatic Writing is used is when Sherry Cromwell is searching for an important target in Academy City. She uses Automatic Writing to write the names of one of her targets, which spells out the kanji of Kazakiri Hyouka's name. Sherry is however, surprised by what she written, as she does not understand what she just wrote, but nonetheless, commands her golem to search for the person who has that name.

### Aleister Crowley Arc

*Main article: Aleister Crowley Arc*
In a flashback of Aleister Crowley's past, Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers of the Golden Dawn utilizes this to communicate with Aleister Crowley immediately after he attacked the Isis-Urania Temple in Blythe Road to steal the treasure the magic cabal kept there.
Archangel Uriel

**Archangel Uriel** (神の火（ウリエル）, *Kami no Hi (Urieru)*?) is an archangel who is known as *"The Fire of God*" and represents the element of wind. Vento of the Front, a member of God's Right Seat, is aligned with Uriel.

## Background

One of the angels in non-canon lore, Uriel is primarily an angel in rabbinical angelology mentioned in 1 Enoch and IV Ezra. He is stated to stand at the gate of the lost Eden with a fiery sword and he was attributed as being the angel who warned Noah of the impending flood.

Uriel is said to guard the gates of hell.

Uriel was one of several angels excommunicated from canon by Pope Zachary.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### World War III Arc

*Main article: World War III Arc*
Fiamma of the Right refers to Uriel during his battle with Vento of the Front, stating that the angel, which Vento is aligned to, should normally have the attributes of Earth rather than Wind, referring to the Distortion of the Laws of the World.

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Choronzon Arc

*Main article: Choronzon Arc*
During the final battle between the reproduced Mathers and Aleister Crowley, the former manifested the four archangels representing the elements, including Uriel, however they were immediately dispelled when Aleister used a spell to banish Uriel, which dragged the others down along with it.
Archangel Michael

**Archangel Michael** (神の如き者（ミカエル）, *Kami no Gotokisha (Mikaeru)*?, lit. "The Likeness of God") is an angel who is known as *"The Likeness of God"*. Fiamma of the Right, the leader of God's Right Seat, is aligned with Michael. It is said that the sword Curtana has power equaling the powers of Archangel Michael and that the wielder, the queen, acts as the leader of the angels while the knights themselves act as angels.

## Background

Archangel Michael was created by God to defeat the malfunctioning Lucifer. Michael defeated the legions of fallen angels and Lucifer himself, casting them down with the power of his right hand. He then assumed the position that Lucifer formally held, that of leader of the angels.

Michael is said to wield a flaming sword.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Document of Constantine Arc

*Main article: Document of Constantine Arc*
During her interrogation, Lidvia Lorenzetti says that Michael is the being with the highest-level power and was created to oppose the Fallen Angel Lucifer. Then, she adds that God's Right Seat believe that Michael defeated Lucifer, who sat to the right seat of God, and became the ruler of all the angels, but implies that this might not be the whole truth.

#### British Royal Family Arc

*Main article: British Royal Family Arc*
The events surrounding the British Halloween revolve around the Curtana, a sword which provides a royal wielder with the simulated power of Michael, leader of the angels (with the knights associated with the army of angels and as such, capable of being supplied power from the sword), while in the territory of the United Kingdom, as the focus of a national spell. The circumstances surrounding the sword are explained to Kamijou Touma when he meets Queen Elizard, wielder of the Curtana Second.

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Choronzon Arc

*Main article: Choronzon Arc*

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

#### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun SS2: Ability Demonstration Trip

*Main article: Toaru Kagaku no Railgun SS2: Ability Demonstration Trip*
During the incident at the Russian Shopping Center, Caliche I. Niknosh's cabal made use of Telesma aligned to Archangel Michael and symbols connected to him for a large-scale spiritual item, in the form of a giant wheel snake, with the fact that Michael is also considered a patron saint being suited for their use of Ex Voto.

## Abilities

Though Archangel Michael himself has yet to appear, the extent of his power is suggested by his background, the immense powers of fellow Archangel Gabriel and the power displayed by the Curtana, which was drawn from him.

## Trivia

* In the Abrahamic tradition, the archangel Michael is commonly perceived as one of the highest-ranking angels and ranked as the commander of the army of God.
Advanced Education Department

The **Advanced Education Department** (先進教育局, *Senshin Kyōiku-kyoku*?, lit. "Advanced Education Bureau") is a now-abandoned establishment in Academy City that was used to educate and facilitate the care of Child Errors during its time in operation. Located in School District 13, it is a large facility, with an open space that the Child Errors had used to play on. It also has a large laboratory for experiments, as well as classrooms and showers for children.

## Background

Under the supervision of Kihara Gensei, Kiyama Harumi, who had gotten a license to teach, was tasked with teaching Child Errors so that they can be prepared for the upcoming experiment on controlling espers' AIM diffusion fields. However, the experiment went awry, putting the children into a comatose state. No immediate medical assistance was given to the children after the experiment, as Gensei had forced everyone to collect the data gathered from it and keep quiet on what had transpired. Because of these events, Kiyama Harumi quit the facility, and the children were sent to various hospitals around Academy City. It is later revealed that the experiment was a cover-up by Gensei; its true nature was to analyze the nature of out-of-control espers and further his research on the Crystallized Esper Essence.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

#### Level Upper Arc

*Main article: Level Upper Arc*
The building is first seen when Misaka Mikoto accidentally connects with Harumi's memories after electrocuting her.

The two of them leave the facility after Mikoto accidentally reactivates the building's security system.
Aihana Etsu (Learning Core)

*For the real Aihana Etsu or other characters who have used the name, see Aihana Etsu (disambiguation).*

## Debuts

### Novel

NT Volume 7

**"Aihana Etsu"** (藍花 悦, *Aihana Etsu*?) is a boy who, during the riots of "heroes" in Learning Core of Academy City, pretended to be the 6th ranked Level 5. This is backed up by Shokuhou Misaki who claims that he is only acting as the 6th-ranked Level 5.

## Etymology

The three kanji for his assumed name mean "indigo" (藍), "flower" (花), and "pleasure" (悦) respectively.

## Appearance

The only known details are that he is a slender boy who wears a black leather jacket.

## Chronology

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Agitate Halation Arc

*Main article: Agitate Halation Arc*
He is first seen at Learning Core, presumably drawn to it as one of the "heroes" of the Agitate Halation Project, fighting the other "heroes". They refers to him as the "Academy City’s #6" and "One of the seven Level 5s", but he tells them that those epithets are not his name and then proceeds to introduce himself to them. This is not because he does not claim to be the 6th ranked Level 5, but because he wanted them to address him by his proper name.

He effortlessly defeats people without using any powers, only using punches. This causes many of them to flee and pursue another target. While watching this battle from the side, Shokuhou Misaki comments that he only used his acting skills to play the role of the #6, and seeing that he is a fake Level 5, she has no connection with him. As such, she goes on with her own business.

It is currently unknown why he pretended to be the 6th ranked Level 5.

## Abilities

His esper ability is unknown (if it exists), however he is proficient enough in melee combat to completely overwhelm several dozens boys and girls, many of which are probably espers and are described as "heroes", while completely unarmed and without using any esper power. He also did not receive even a scratch while fighting them. His arms are described as "firing punches on the level of heavy machinery", and one hit can cause several boys to collapse.

He also apparently has acting skills on a good enough level to convince people he is the 6th Level 5 despite not using any esper abilities, as Misaki claims he is not real.

## Quotes

* (To his opponents, in NT7): *“My name is not ‘Academy City’s #6’. Nor is it ‘One of the seven Level 5s’. My name is Aihana Etsu!!”*
AIM Thought Being

**AIM Thought Being** (AIM思考体, *AIM Shikō-tai*?) is a term used to refer to a consciousness that manifests itself through the AIM Diffusion fields of espers that mainly originate in Academy City.

## Principles

### Yakumi Hisako

Once Yakumi Hisako's consciousness has been transferred to the Shading Computer that uses the AIM diffusion fields as a medium, she refers to herself as an AIM thought being, and that she has stepped into the realm of Kazakiri Hyouka and DRAGON. What differentiates her from Kazakiri Hyouka is that she can communicate with others in such a state, and has shown no way of being able to physically manifest herself. Moreover, she has shown no inclination of having physical form and rather wants to "transcend" being a part of the AIM diffusion fields, becoming even greater than Kazakiri Hyouka and DRAGON, using either the water of the oceans or the air of the world for the Shading Computer's medium, which had allowed her to become an AIM thought being in the first place, but as well as trapping her in the one place it is concentrated, Academy City. While being an AIM thought being, she has no body.

After Kamijou Touma destroys her AIM thought being form in one strike, her consciousness becomes an information life form. In a way, she becomes free from the bounds of being an AIM thought being, but still even more limited as she uses her "scent" that was being emitted by the swarm of man-eating cockroaches that destroyed her body earlier as the processor for the Shading Computer that allowed her to manifest herself.
Agata

* Anime
* Manga

**Agata** (アガター, *Agatā*?) is a minor character in *Toaru Majutsu no Index*, and is a Roman Catholic Church nun who is a member of the paramilitary force know as Agnese Forces, which is led by her friend Agnese Sanctis.

## Appearance

She is a bespectacled young woman with blue eyes and long brown hair. Her build and stature is similar to that of Lucia.

## Background

She was an orphan and was taken in by the Roman Catholic Church to be raised as a nun by them, here, she was acquainted with Agnese Sanctis, Lucia and Angelene.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Orsola Aquinas Rescue Arc

*Main article: Orsola Aquinas Rescue Arc*
Agata is seen among the nuns that compose the Agnese Forces. It is not shown what exactly happened to her in the battle against the Amakusa Christians, but it can be assumed that she actively performed in the battle, ultimately surrendering when their leader Agnese Sanctis is defeated by Kamijou Touma.

#### La Regina del Mare Adriatico Arc

*Main article: La Regina del Mare Adriatico Arc*
As a punishment decreed by the Roman Catholic Church, she alongside all of the members of the Agnese Forces and several other subjects are taken to the Queen's Fleet of La Regina del Mare Adriatico, although she did not receive the same treatment as sisters Lucia and Angelene.

She became the helmsman of ice ship #47 during the La Regina del Mare Adriatico's mobilization along with its fleet. As the helmsman, she performed the duties of patrolling nearby areas for incoming attacks and is required to report to Bishop Biagio Busoni regularly.

Upon the attack of the Amakusa Christians, she reported directly to Bishop Busoni, and was instrumental in keeping them at bay during their attack on the fleet. Though, she is later tricked by the Amakusa's tactics during battle, allowing to them to board the ships.

#### British Royal Family Arc

*Main article: British Royal Family Arc*
Agata is later seen helping Agnese and her fellow nuns investigate one of New Light's hideouts. She helps identify the teleportaive nature of the cases which New Light is using to pass around Curtana Original.

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Choronzon Arc

*Main article: Choronzon Arc*
During the Crowley's Hazard invasion of the United Kingdom, Agata was present when the Agnese Forces fought on the frontline at the Strait of Dover. After receiving a car lift from Hamazura Shiage and Takitsubo Rikou along with several others, she made it to the group's meeting at the British Museum after the fall of the England-Londinium Fortress.

Shortly after the events concerning Isis-Demeter and the events which transpired unknown to them in Westminster Abbey, she saw the car leaving in hurry, remembering and bringing up too late the fact that it was likely stolen.

## Abilities

She is shown to be capable of enough on taking the wheel of a large ice ship on her own, and command her own subordinates.
AIM Diffusion Field Resonance

**AIM Diffusion Field Resonance** (AIM拡散力場の共鳴, ***AIM Diffusion Field Resonance***?) is an AIM-related phenomena in which an esper's powers resonate with others.

## Principles

AIM Diffusion Field Resonance is a phenomena which occurs when two or more espers with the same type of ability (and therefore similar AIM Diffusion Fields) gather together within a localized area. As the name suggests, the espers' AIM Diffusion Fields resonate with one another, which causes the effects of the fields to become greater and more prominent.

Normally, this phenomena is relative harmless for all parties involved. In Misaka Mikoto's case, this can allow for her to detect certain other espers with the same ability as her own; with the strength of this detection seemingly being dependent on how similar another esper's ability is to her own (such as how she was able to better sense the esper powers of her sisters than other Electromasters in close enough proximity).

However, when an overloaded esper, quite possibly in an unstable state of mind, comes into close proximity with other espers, it can lead to an occurrence of RSPK Syndrome. This can cause the relatively harmless AIM Diffusion Field Resonance to become harmful and potentially catastrophic to both those involved and the environment affected by it.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

#### Poltergeist Arc

*Main article: Poltergeist Arc*
The possibility of an AIM Diffusion Field Resonance being the cause of the Poltergeist incidents happening across Academy City was initially referred to by Konori Mii. Sometime after this, Shirai Kuroko explained to Mikoto the relevance of the phenomena to the current poltergeist events happening all over the city.

It is later revealed by Therestina, that exposing Haruue Erii (since she can exhibit power beyond her level class when exposed to a specific wavelength) to the Crystallized Esper Essence would cause a resonance with Kiyama Harumi's Child Error students, allowing her to achieve that specific wavelength, causing her to achieve Level 6 at the cost of destroying the city.

#### Sisters Arc

*Main article: Sisters Arc*
On August 15th, Mikoto was introduced to a child who had a similar power to her. The children asked if one day they could form a 'radio' together (i.e. if they could talk to each other with their powers). Mikoto told them that it was impossible, but if they were in an open space with no obstruction, then they would be able to detect each other. Mikoto then commented to herself that they could make a network if they had similar brainwaves, just like the Level Upper, then they could in theory make something similar to a radio.

Mikoto later detects a similar power to hers, and discovers the existence of Misaka 9982 and the clones.
Anti-Crime Orientation

The **Anti-Crime Orientation** (防犯オリエンテーション, *Bōhan Orientēshon*?) is an event conducted in Academy City.

## Principles

During the event, boundaries between schools in School District 7 are temporarily lifted. Students participate in roleplaying, being assigned the role of a criminal, police officer or hostage. The criminal have to act in a criminal manner, the police officers must capture the criminals and the hostages must run away from criminals. Fulfilling the role earns a student stamps on their stamp card with a hidden school lunch menu as a reward for completing the card.

Aside from improving student crime prevention awareness, the event is also meant to help people feel safer by buying disaster goods they don't know if they'll ever use, as well as a way for them to let off steam.

Handouts for the event have 'fire precautions' on them despite not having much to do with them, which might have been the result of the event perhaps starting as a small event for arson countermeasures and growing from there into an event for crime in general.

## Chronology

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Magic God Invasion Arc

*Main article: Magic God Invasion Arc*
On December 3rd, in the wake of the incident at the Dianoid instigated by St. Germain, the Anti-Crime Orientation is held in Academy City. The event is disrupted by the destruction caused by the High Priest's rampage through the city in pursuit of Kamijou Touma.

The **Angel Fall Arc** (御使堕し（エンゼルフォール）編, ***Angel Fall Arc***?) is the fourth story arc of the *Toaru Majutsu no Index* storyline. It concerns with the activation of a worldwide spell known as Angel Fall, a spell that switches the elements, as well as the appearances of persons around the world. The most notable effect of Angel Fall is the expulsion of an angel to earth.

The arc focuses on Kamijou Touma, Kanzaki Kaori and Tsuchimikado Motoharu trying to find the culprit and stop Angel Fall, while Touma deals with his family that he meets for the first time since losing his memories, during an involuntary vacation outside of Academy City.

Along with the Deep Blood Arc, the Angel Fall Arc was heavily modified in the anime adaptation of *Toaru Majutsu no Index*.

Item Volume 1

**Aiyose Hiyoko** (愛寄ひよこ, *Aiyose Hiyoko*?), commonly known by her ringname **Waniguchi Nokoba** (鰐口鋸刃（わにぐちのこば）, *Waniguchi Nokoba*?), was a member of the "Item" running the Colosseum, one year prior to the main story.

## Appearance

She is described as a small girl with pale skin and shoulder-length black hair, wearing a revealing ring costume resembling a racing swimsuit.

## Personality

Aiyose is a social darwinist who believes in the law of the jungle where the weak prey on the strong, and actively seeks to become stronger in order not to be oppressed by others. She is vicious and warlike, aggressive and irritable, and even disobeys the orders of the leaders. On the other hand, she has a direct and innocent personality, and can easily slip up. In accrodance with childlike appearance, Aiyose will cry like a child and seek comfort in the arms of others. Ibotanokikouji Kaede describes her as "someone who always tries to attack actively because she is afraid of being attacked herself".

## Abilities

Her esper ability is **Leverage Struggle** (支点凶器（レバレッジストラグル）, *Shiten Kyōki (Rebarejji Sutoraguru)*?), estimated by Mugino Shizuri to be at Level 3 or 4, which greatly increases the force of her leverage. This allows her to weaponize anything using leverage, including tools (such as scissors, crowbars, seesaws, pliers etc) or physical grappling techniques (her usual focus), such as joint locks. Using Leverage Struggle, she can crush a bear with her bare arms or tear off a section of a wall using thick pliers and only one arm, and claimed to be capable of grabbing a conrete pillar as big or twice as big as a human torso and bending it with her bare heads. She is also an expert at mixed martial arts.

## Chronology

### Light Novels

The **Agitate Halation Arc** is the sixth story arc of *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index*. It occurs sometime in mid-November of the story's first year after the events of the Ichihanaransai in Academy City.

The story arc centers primarily around Fremea Seivelun, who is the linchpin of the plans concocted by Yakumi Hisako, a member of Academy City's Board of Directors, that *on the surface* tries to create a world without heroes: the Agitate Halation Project. Kamijou Touma, Kakine Teitoku, Tsuchimikado Motoharu, Shokuhou Misaki, Rensa, Kumokawa Seria, Hamazura Shiage, Kuroyoru Umidori, Kinuhata Saiai, and Fräulein Kreutune all play fairly major or especially significant roles in this arc. While Accelerator, Misaka Mikoto, Kaizumi Tsugutoshi, Sogiita Gunha, ITEM minus Kinuhata Saiai, Kihara Yuiitsu, Kihara Noukan, and Yomikawa Aiho, among other characters, all play minor roles in this arc.

The arc is the second science side-only arc to be featured in *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index* since the Freshmen Arc. It essentially serves as an extended epilogue of the previous arc, once again giving spotlight to Touma's determination to save people despite of treacheries and betrayals. Moreover, it connects and serves as a conclusion to the various plot threads that spread around the story, specifically those of Fremea Seivelun's. Essentially, it serves as novel for the growth of Fremea Seivelun, but also for Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Kuroyoru Umidori.
Alex

**Alex** (アレックス, *Arekkusu*?) is a horse belonging to Carissa, introduced in *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index*.

## Appearance

Alex is described as a muscular horse, fully outfitted with reins and armor.

## Personality

According to the female knight, Alex is apparently known for only growing attached to pure maidens, though not to the extent of unicorns in legend.

## Background

Alex was raised as a royal horse, belonging the Second Princess Carissa. While Carissa was imprisoned, she ordered the Female Knight to take care of Alex. He normally only got to walk around the Tower of London's courtyard.

Alex was ridden by the Female Knight during the events surrounding the Crowley's Hazard invasion of London and was involved in the battle between the defenders of the royal family and the reproduced Golden Dawn on the roads between London and Edinburgh.

## Abilities

Alex was trained as a military horse, with several different spells used in the process of raising him for official duties, such that running around a 2km lawn won't be enough to exhaust him. He is also equipped with special rubber horseshoes for urban terrain and his mobility rivals that of a motorcycle.
Academy City Research Exhibition Assembly

## Academy City Research Exhibition AssemblyPart of the **Silent Party Arc**

Aritomi Haruki giving a speech to the audience during the awards ceremony of the assembly.

## Information

### **Date Started**

Late August

**Academy City Research Exhibition Assembly** (学園都市研究発表会, *Gakuentoshi Kenkyū Happyōkai*?) or **Academic Assembly** is an annual exhibition for the research done by the top students of Academy City.

## Principles

The assembly is for the "top students" in academic ability. The exhibition can have lectures and talks, among other things. The Academic Assembly is for presenting pure research progress, and not just on esper powers. Here, they can enter and gain awards for their research. Winners from the previous year can participate again and can be awarded. Because of its nature as an event base of academics, it is not very well attended by people.

Participants can apparently advertise their exhibits a few days before the assembly, as well as bring the paraphernalia needed for it and store them there. Both Anti-Skill and Judgment participate in preparing the security for the venues a few days before it begins. During the story's first year, at least four venues were used for the assembly.

## Participants

* Aritomi Haruki
* Kosako Shunichi
* Sekimura Hirotada
* Sakurai Jun
* Madarame Kenji
* Aogami Pierce (Advertised the Frog Warp Experiment)
Arthurian Legends

Relevant topics on**Magic**

The **Arthurian Legends** are an entire extensive mythology and folklore named after their pivotal character, the legendary King of Britain Arthur, and centered around his reign and his Knights of the Round Table.

## Principles

Like with other folk heroes, there may be historical truth to the myth, the historical Arthur may having been a Romano-British *dux bellorum* ("leader of battles"), a warlord fighting on behalf of the British kings the invading Anglo-Saxons after the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

Other elements of the Arthurian legend originally had their roots in Cornish and Welsh legends, where he and his men, often with magic items and powers of their own, appear as adventurers facing not only normal human foes but also fantastic creatures like giants (men and beasts) and witches. Due to this more fantastic strand of the myth with ties to Celtic Mythology, some scholars believe Arthur began as a mythical folk hero who was then historicized into the Briton/Anglo-Saxon conflicts.

Following the Christianization of the British Isles, more elements not present in the original legends were added, thanks to writers such as Geoffrey of Monmouth and Chrétien de Troyes, reflecting the new culture of the Britons: the themes of chivalry, courtly love, elements from Christian myths like the Holy Grail, etc.

Arthurian mythology forms a large part of the Matter of Britain.

## Background

As Arthurian legends evolved over the centuries and spread across Europe, many characters faded from existence or were replaced with local variations. For example, the Knights of the Round Table, introduced later, did not include any of the old knights who had initially supported Arthur. Another example is how his full sister Queen Anne became the mother of Mordred (who was not originally related to Arthur); she was eventually replaced by half-sister Morgause, who kept the blood-tie but is a different character entirely.
Bank

The **Bank** (書庫（バンク）, *Shoko (Banku)*?, lit. "Archive", Yen Press: **Data Banks**) is a comprehensive database in Academy City which is said to hold all of Academy City's data, from student records to AIM diffusion field data. Only major institutions from Academy City like Anti-Skill and the Academy City Board of Directors have any access to the Bank. There are multiple access levels, and even members of the Board of Directors can't access everything.

## Principles

The Bank contains the enormity of Academy City's research data, including school grades, all other esper development data, chemicals and equipment used for esper development, data on next-generation weapons, and all other research information, stored and searchable within a single large database.

Many institutions in Academy City, including every school and hospital, rely on the Bank and make use of it, but only over the internet. The physical location and form of the Bank is unknown to most people. The Bank actually has no set form, being repeatedly relocated and rearranged in order to protect it. It has taken on the form of many systems over time, including an underground nuclear shelter, a skyscraper, a satellite, an electronic information control system, the high-speed server of a general securities trading office used for oil and stock trading, and most recently, the Processor Suit.

The Bank has a control center where inquiries may be performed personally. However, its access is restricted to at least members of Judgment, and the amount of information given to them depends on the person/s doing the inquiry.

### Known Abilities

At some point in the past, the Relic Level 5 made or witnessed requests to the Bank. At that time, the requests were made over a phone line which charged the user every 10 seconds, with images loading line by line on a CRT monitor and it taking over a minute for a page to display.

**BLOCK** (ブロック, *Burokku*?) is an Academy City-based organization whose original goal was to keep an eye on the level of cooperation from friendly institutions outside of the city. Its incarnation as seen on October 9 was virtually destroyed during the events of that day despite only one operative being confirmed to be killed (Yamate), and the rest just indisposed or their status unknown, and was later reorganized to form a new organization with the remnants of ITEM, SCHOOL, and MEMBER. After the end of World War III, the organization has now been dissolved.

## Principles

Like the other Dark Side of Academy City factions their level of security and authority are the same—an unofficial unit created by putting few persons together. As their rebellion against Academy City was directed towards Aleister Crowley, it is likely that either he or the Academy City Board of Directors had some form of control.

As the organization is primarily concerned with keeping eye on the level of cooperation from friendly institutions outside of Academy City, the organization most likely have some connection with the outside. This may be the reason on how BLOCK was able to hire 5,000 mercenaries later on.

The organization also has a liaison, the person responsible for them to follow the higher-ups orders. He has a has command over Powered Suits and acts for him.

### Rebellion attempt on October 9

After the events of the 0930 incident, BLOCK discovered that they may be able to challenge the will of Aleister Crowley. This is exacerbated by the fact that the Powered Suits that were used to keep the factions in line were sent to deal with Avignon. Tatsuhiko successfully wrestles control of the organization including its subordinate group from the BLOCK liaison. According to Etzali, the subordinate organization willingly followed Tatsuhiko knowing that they'll be participating in a rebellion. According to him it is because of the higher-ups continual manipulation of information to the detriment of their well-being, lowering the higher-ups' credibility to the subordinate organization.

Their plan was to storm the Reformatory using the mercenaries and take hostage of Musujime Awaki's comrades that have been kept there as a leverage to force her to cooperate with them regarding the secrets of the Windowless Building, Aleister Crowley's base, which would then, if successful, allow them to execute their masterstroke, transport a Synchronous Multilayer Bomb into the building itself and assassinating him. Despite their preparations and actions, their plans are later foiled by the actions of GROUP.

Ballistic Slider

**Ballistic Slider** (バリスティック・スライダー, *Barisutikku Suraidā*?) is a large shuttle system that was designed by Academy City for space travel.

## Principles

It was designed for the **Academy City Next-Generation Space Travel Competition** (学園都市の次期主力宇宙輸送機関のコンペ, *Gakuentoshi no Jiki Shuryoku Uchū Yusō Kikan no Konpe*?) but lost to Endymion. It's specifications are unknown, but the mothership alone is very large. The aircraft uses a runway like an airplane while carrying its cargo the smaller spaceplane. When the mothership reaches the spaceplane's launch altitude, it is released into the upper atmosphere, and from there the spaceplane uses its own rockets to escape the earth's atmosphere. Presumably, the mothership comes back to earth to perform a conventional runway landing.

The spaceplane can apparently fly on its own, allowing for people like Kamijou Touma and Index who have no experience in piloting a plane to safely ride in it as passengers. It can also apparently dock with Endymion's spaceport on its own. For reasons unknown, there is also hatch on top of it, this was used by Kanzaki Kaori to get out of the spaceplane.

## Casualties and Losses

**Billund** (ビルン, *Birun*?) is a city in the center of the Jutland Peninsula of Denmark. It is 150 kilometers south of Støvring.

An otherwise unremarkable location that is only mentioned in passing as well as being quickly passed by Kamijou Touma and Othinus in their journey to Egeskov Castle, its outskirts is notable for having two military operations being conducted back to back by two countries on the same day, the United States of America and then Academy City during the manhunt for the two.

Academy City's attack using FIVE\_Over Modelcase\_"RAILGUN" units proved to be very effective, defeating the tanks of the Danish diversionary unit of Operation Norse Wind, and would have likely completed its intended mission of killing Touma and Othinus if not for the intervention of Misaka Mikoto, an Academy City citizen, who likely had no intention of following the earlier order for Level 5s like her to kill Touma and Othinus. The failure of this mission would mark the last time any serious effort Academy City would do in hunting down Touma and Othinus.

## Background of the attack

The attack was likely conducted due to the defeat of Accelerator at the hands of Kamijou Touma, and the failure to rally the other Level 5s of Academy City to kill Touma and Othinus after they received orders to do so. This was intended by Accelerator. He was the first one to willingly answer the order in order for him to be defeated by Touma. This is so that if the news the #1 Level 5 of Academy City was defeated, the others would not bother attacking Touma anymore due to the higher-ups fear of losing the rest of the Level 5s.

It is unknown if Accelerator foresaw that Academy City would try again, though this time using unmanned technology instead en masse, likely taking Touma's weaknesses into account.

Academy City later uses Supersonic Passenger Planes to transport around 150 FIVE\_Over Modelcase\_"RAILGUN" units to Denmark.

Ainame Caroline

**Ainame Caroline** (鮎魚女（あいなめ）・キャロライン, *Ainame Kyarorain*?) was the former head researcher of the Meltdowner research lab and the leader of the data thieves known as Honey Queen.

## Etymology

Her family name is derived from the Japanese name for the fat greening (*Hexagrammos otakii*), a species of marine ray-finned fish.

## Appearance

Caroline is described as an encyclopedia image of a gyaru except shrunk down to miniature form. She is a young girl around the age of 10 with brown skin and overly done-up blonde hair. She wore a neon yellow bikini top and a pleated miniskirt held up by suspenders. The outfit was something like a skimpier version of a cheerleader. The water-resistant bikini top repelled the lukewarm raindrops, giving it a wet sheen.

## Personality

Ainame Caroline looks and acts like a stereotypical gyaru, displaying familiar and easygoing behavior. However, beneath her demeanor, Caroline is extremely sadistic and homicidal, willing to kill anyone who stands in the way of her goals. She exhibits almost childish cruelty towards others all while being upbeat and casual.

## Abilities

In addition to being both a highly skilled researcher and scammer at a young age, Ainame Caroline is a self-developed esper, having utilized the data obtained from the Meltdowner research, with an electricity-based form of Thoughtography, apparently ranked at Level 1. Furthermore, in addition to obtaining information and predicting the future, she has an unusual destructive use for it, branding a pattern onto a target's brain to rob them of their consciousness.
Annie Horniman

**Annie Horniman** (アニー・ホーニマン, *Anī Hōniman*?), full name **Annie Elizabeth Fredericka Horniman** (アニー・エリザベス・フレデリカ・ホーニマン, *Anī Erizabesu Furederika Hōniman*?), also simply called **Annie** (アニー, *Anī*?) by her friend, is a posthumous character introduced in *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index*.

## Appearance

When reproduced, Annie looks like an old-fashioned tutor, with an old dress and a monocle.

## Personality

She adores her best friend Mina Mathers, to the point she admits that she would destroy the world if anything happened to her. By contrast, she loathes Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers and can't understand why her best friend fell in love with him.

What she thinks shows easily on her face.

## Background

While she was interested in the occult, the main reason she joined the Golden Dawn was because of her friend, Mina Mathers.

At some point after her death, Annie Horniman was reproduced along with other members of the Golden Dawn by Choronzon, through the application of Tarot-based grimoires, as part of her anti-Crowley countermeasures.

## Chronology

### Aleister Crowley Arc

*Main article: Aleister Crowley Arc*
The recreated Mina Mathers refers at one point to her as the friend to whom she begged money for living expenses.

### Choronzon Arc

*Main article: Choronzon Arc*
While the rest of the cabal hunted Aleister's group down, Annie and Westcott were assigned with playing the role of boogieman to the residents of London, to discourage them from venturing out and seeing things they weren't meant to, defeating the regrouped Amakusas along the way.

They attempted to retrieve Dion Fortune after she was caught in the Lady of the Masquerade Ball's attack on Piccadilly Circus, but were delayed due to the actions of Misaka Tabigake and then Misaka Mikoto with the Anti-Art Attachment. After failing to recover her, they encountered Fortune while investigating two distortions and when she stood against them to protect Hamazura Shiage who had picked her up instead.

## Abilities

She wields two clubs, black and white, representing **Jachin and Boaz** (ヤッキンとボアズ, *Yakkin to Boazu*?), the two pillars which stood on the porch of **Solomon's Temple** (ソロモン神殿, *Soromon Shinden*?). Thus creating the perfect altar, she can boost someone else's magic by saying the words *Boost Target*. When she uses her clubs to boost a target, something like a soap bubble wavers from an instant behind Annie and the pillars, taller than she is.

She can also use a cursing doll, with an unknown effect.

Annie is capable of using a communication method, compared to astral projection but more primitive. Rather than dragging something from the physical body, it is more like causing something to grow, with magic power or an equivalent being vibrated at a set frequency to make contact. It isn't the most precise thing in the world and can cause discomfort to others nearby.

## Trivia

* Annie Horniman was a sponsor to the Mathers as well as a fellow member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in real life.
Ayles Bigant

**Ayles Bigant** (エールズ・ビッグアント, *Ēruzu Bigguanto*?) is a character introduced in *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index* as a participant of the Natural Selector tournament. A person with no apparent special abilities, his existence is merely used to present the brutality of Kihara Enshuu.

## Background

He was a participant of the Natural Selector tournament, but was forced into hiding in a small room in the plant factories due to attack on Baggage City by Academy City, as well as the fact that the outside is incredibly cold and the nearest town 130 kilometers away. In the small room he awaits salvation from the army or police.

It is unknown what weapon or ability he had, that is if he had any to begin with.

## Chronology

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Baggage City Arc

*Main article: Baggage City Arc*
He first appears in his hiding place, trembling as Kihara Enshuu tries to open the room where he has hidden, for there laid the keys she needs is in within. Ayles grabs a semi auto shotgun as a response, and would shoot anyone that comes through the door, although he has not loaded the bullets, making his efforts in vain. Seeing this, Kihara Enhuu decides to open the door the most *Kihara-esque* as possible, using a crane and one of the plant factories. Meanwhile, while trying to hear what's happening on the outside, Ayles begins panicking as he hears Enshuu going away, wanting to know what's going on more, Ayles comes near the door. After, scanning the room where he was with the Echo Filter, and determining that indeed someone is there. Enshuu uses her smartphone to remotely control the crane, and without warning crushes the room Ayles has been.

Ayles is crushed, but yet lives, his blood pouring into the ground. Enshuu notices this, and after grabbing the keys, takes the shotgun, loads it with bullets, and shoots him, ending his life.
