Go To

The seventh arc of A Certain Magical Index, consisting of volume 7 of the light novels, chapters 45-57 of the manga, and episodes 2-5 of the anime's season 2.


  • A Day in the Limelight: For Orsola Aquinas

  • Arc Villain: The Agnese Forces
  • Bedmate Reveal: Touma finds Agnese Sanctis on top of him.
  • Bystander Syndrome: Stiyl and Index try to convince Touma not to interfere with problems that have nothing to do with them, but he ignores them. He's the hero, after all.
  • "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Touma informs Stiyl that he would have helped him if he had just asked. There was no need to grab Index to lure him out.
  • Let's You and Him Fight: The Amakusa Catholics were the good guys all along, and the heroes were tricked into fighting them.

  • Unwitting Pawn: Everybody in the story played into Laura Stuart's plans.
