To Aru Majutsu no Index II 10

Oriana gets beaten.

Somehow this episode felt much shorter then the others.
The main event is the fight between Touma and Oriana where he manages to show off his cool side... and beats another girl!

Girl bashing: Touma 2 - Accelerator 1

Oriana doesn't seem to be very bad and given also the significant amount of screentime she is getting, she could even become a recurring character...
It's true that she set the trap that injured Fukiyose and that she tortures Tsuchimikado with a spell (although she wasn't targeting him), but at least she didn't show any distorted facial expression yet.

It appears that what was being traded is not the stab sword, but "croce di Pietro" an item that would make Academy city a Roman church possession. This would unset the balance of the world so it is much worse than they initially thought.

What? And why is it here!?

Of course, we are also pleased by some Index and Biribiri action!

Index has changed her usual nun outfit to a cheerleader one. She looks totally different :D

Index jumping is cute :)

Touma suddenly remembers the fanservice event of last episode

Index has evolved from biting to bashing

You finally realized!

At the end of the episode there is some Biribiri show when together with her mother she meets Touma's parents.

Mikoto unaware of what awaits her

Still not blushing... need some help

Misuzu likes to tease her daugther :)

And Mikoto is such an easy target

Mikoto quickly realizes who Touma inhereted from :)

Oriana changed to an even more revaling outfit

Well said

They go to eat together and when Index and Touma wander in the same fastfood Mikoto and Index start to quarrel. They really are rivals :)

Must be careful entering a fastfood

You never know who you might meet :)

Ah, yes, the compulsory umi no fanservice episode

You don't know but Touma saw you in a swimsuit. Actually all of Academy city did...

Index angry face!

Such a weak denial...

That's true

This is a declaration of war!

The animation quality felt a little lower than usual, I hope they are saving up for the final episodes!

By the way, I wasn't expecting this smile from Laura Stuart!

Such a wicked smile from Laura Stuart... NOOOOOOOOOO!
