* Why is no one surprised at Kuroko being a LovableSexManiac or Uiharu getting her skirt flipped up by Saten, among other sexually charged events? This is a city run by Creator/AlesisterCrowley. "The Wickedest Man in the World" and DirtyOldMan.

* The Sisters' method of self-narration initially initially seems like just an oddball quirk that they share. Something to distinguish them from other characters in the series. But watch Episode 17: Misaka-10032 made the following comment to Last Order: "If you have said that, then it has already been broadcast through the Network. So there isn't a need to say that again in words." Their self-narration isn't just a quirk, it's how they input information into the Misaka network so all the other Misaka know ''exactly'' what's going on. This theory seems to be enforced by [[spoiler:Misaka WORST, a Sister who isn't directly connected to the Misaka Network]]. She's still a ThirdPersonPerson, but doesn't narrate herself because she has no one to narrate to.

* It can be said that Academy City also serves as a way to control the members of the Kihara family. Without Academy City, the tech it has would be released into the world and Kiharas would start popping up all over the place. The one who gave this justification? A Kihara.

## The Daihasei; it's a sports festival, practiced along the lines of fair sportsmanship, but this is averted; espers are encouraged to use combat grade powers against the opposing team, to the point that all Tokiwadai has to do is simply knock unconscious every single person on the team opposing them. This is malicious for two reasons: it encourages the idea that it's ok to use lethal abilities on regular people; and it encourages [[TheSocialDarwinist the sense that having abilities somehow makes you more than human]], [[MasterRace a superior race that by their very genetics has the right to lord over others]]. This is only encouraged by the fact that level 3s, 4s and 5s get massive discounts in the marketplace in addition to their lives being funded by multi-million dollar military paychecks.

** Probably because the Author (while demonstrating a greater than usual understanding of both theology and science) doesn't know enough about it to write it convincingly, or is not confident his audience will understand it. Christianity has been around for over 2 millenia, and draws upon an even older religion (Judaism), that is infamous for theological debates. You mention mention the works of St Thomas of Aquinas or Jonathan Edwards or Jan Hus to an audience of young Japanese men (one of the most secular groups in the world on top of Christianity being a foreign religion to them) and you are going to get a lot of blank faces. It's also why a lot of scientific phenomenon is either very simplified or outright omitted; any one familiar with Nuclear Reactors would say that a bunch of building being knocked down by AIM Burst would be bad, but at worst it would be expensive and a little dangerous to clean up (Nuclear waste is comprised of little pellets similar in size and shape of those found in Horse feed, and releases alpha radiation, which can be stopped with paper. Or sweat), but it wouldn't cause a Chernobyl level event (Which was caused by basically turning their reactor into a steam bomb). There would have been a much bigger danger with a conventional, oil or Natural gas fired plant.

* In the light novels, Touma constantly makes references to video game mechanics, particularly those endemic to dating Sims and visual novels, such as "Raising Flags". It could just be that he's a massive nerd, but it's more than a little confusing because he's *surrounded* by beautiful, willing young women... until you remember what his *experiences* with these young women include, such as being bitten and taken advantage of financially (Index), potentially lethal lighting bolts fired at him (Misaka), beaten into a coma (Kanzaki), or tortured (Othinus). It's no wonder he plays these games; They are a way for him to pursue women that physically cannot hurt him.

* In Volume 3, Misaka 10032 states that the purpose of experiment number 10032 (and thus, her death) is to find a situation where Accelerator’s “reflection” does not work. When Kamijou Touma shows up and beats Accelerator, Kamijou is actually ’’helping’’ the experiment by creating a situation in which Accelerator cannot use his “reflection”. If anything, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Kamijou’s intervention could actually have made things much, much worse]], had the Misaka Network not chosen to rebel.

* There's no way the Vatican would ''ever'' support a group like "God's Right Seat", even before maniacs like Vento and Fiamma came into it. Their entire purpose and the powers they possess are anathema to very central Church teachings.

** It should be noted that the events also hold some opposites. Touma destroyed Index's with a super natural power, Imagine Breaker, while Accelerator striped Last Order by physically removing the blanket she was wearing. Touma fed Index homemade food from spoiled ingredients while Accelerator took Last Order to a restaurant. Touma got help from Komoe, his teacher, to heal and house Index, while Accelerator got help for Yoshikawa, someone who wished to be a teacher, to provide information and help fight. Touma's brain injury was from a super natural attack which erased his memory, something that couldn't be repaired, while Accelerator's brain injury came from a physical attack which cost him his motor and processing skills, something that was circumvented with a connection to the Misaka Network. Touma was charged to protect Index after Neccesarious decided it was best, while Accelerator charged himself with protecting Last Order. These differences show that while Accelerator wants to be like Touma, he still wants to be able to do things his own way.

*Accelerator's meeting with Last Order shares parallels with Touma's meeting with Index. Both meetings have the boys meet a sister, with Index being a nun and Last Order being a clone from the Sister's Radio Noise project; both have the boys unceremoniously and accidentally strip the girls naked; both treat the girl to a meal before parting ways and meet up again when they learn the girl is in danger; both have the boys turn to an adult for help; both end up with brain injuries in the process of saving the girls; and both are charged with protecting the girls from that point forward. These parallels show how Accelerator wishes to be like Touma.

* Know how the Right Seat of God managed to mostly purge themselves of the original sin? The original sin would be Adam and Eve disobeying God. And how did they disobey God? By eating the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Therefore, the Right Seat of God are people that mostly do not understand Good and Evil, except for Acqua who is a natural born Saint, which may be why he is the only one of them that wasn't a complete bastard to begin with.
** Actually, I'm pretty sure Acqua's continued sanity is a result of the very magic he received from joining God's Right Seat. It's called the Divine Mother's Mercy, and it removes the prices and limitations of things, including magic. Prices like, oh say, not being about to comprehend good and evil.
