** Touma from the main ''Index'' anime is disliked by some fans loyal to the ''Railgun'' series, being a SpotlightStealingSquad in the first half of Season 2 who hijacks Mikoto's plot in the Sister's arc. The fact that he fights and defeats Accelerator, with Mikoto acting like the DamselInDistress who can't do anything without him, really doesn't help. Of course, this can't be helped in the slightest since the Sisters arc was originally ''Touma's'' story in ''Index'', giving more details on Mikoto and the Dark Side of Academy City. The ''Railgun'' version was written as a PerspectiveFlip; [[DoomedByCanon we knew from the start she wasn't the one who solved the plot]].
** Misaki Shokuhou were hated by the fanbase for her very manipulative personality, especially in her apperances in Season 2 and the first half of Daihasei Festival Arc in Season 3. One particular scene that makes the fandom go mad at Misaki is when she erased her memories of her friends, [[spoiler: which later know to be her measure so that Mikoto's friends will not intervene in her plans to take down Gensei]].

** The anime original arc that ended season 2 has caused a lot of division among fans. Many finding the camp and PowerOfFriendship levels over the top, being angered at how Misaka was given the IdiotBall a couple times, and expressing frustration at the many plot holes in the arc. Others absolutely ''loved'' the arc since it addressed the primary problems of the Sister's arc (notably Misaka ''not'' going in alone) and everyone getting a chance to shine against STUDY.
** In general, the fillers Creator/JCStaff made for the series are very polarizing. While one group of fans liked them because they gave screentime to the other characters not named Mikoto and enjoyed the SliceOfLife scenes of those episodes, another fans found them annoying, pointless and boring. It doesn't helps some of them came off after the Sisters arc, who is considered by the majority of fans as the best arc of Railgun and one of the best of the entire Raildex universe. Luckily, Season 3 does not have filler arcs anymore.

Aside from the fact that Misaki somehow already knew Touma's name, the meeting is played up in a humorous manner, with Misaki acting silly and Mikoto casually being mocked. However, around two-and-a-half years after this chapter released, Volume 11 of ''New Testament: A Certain Magical Index'', came out, revealing Misaki's backstory with Touma, including how tragically Touma can't retain memories of her due to brain damage. This puts that meeting in ''Railgun'' in a new light: Misaki suddenly re-encountering the boy she has feelings for, a boy that she knows will never retain memories of her. And not only that, she is with her rival, who also has been regularly interacting with that same boy as of late.

** Misaki Shokuhou were hated by the fanbase for her very manipulative personality, especially in her apperances in Season 2 and the first half of Daihasei Festival Arc in Season 3. One particular scene that makes the fandom go mad at Misaki is when she erased her memories of her friends, [[spoiler: which later know to be her measure so that Mikoto's friends will not intervene in her plans to take down Gensei]]. Manga and light novel readers are also this, but subsided their hate at Misaki as the story progresses much earlier than anime-only viewers, where they finally see her true intentions, [[spoiler: as well as her connections with Dolly]] in the latter half of the arc much later.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Chapter 47 of the manga, adapted to Episode 3 of ''Railgun T'', features the first time in the franchise that Touma is seen interacting with Misaki Shokuhou. Aside from the fact that Misaki somehow already knew Touma's name, the meeting is played up in a humorous manner, with Misaki acting silly and Mikoto casually being mocked. However, around two-and-a-half years after this chapter released, Volume 11 of ''New Testament: A Certain Magical Index'', came out, revealing Misaki's backstory with Touma, including how tragically Touma can't retain memories of her due to brain damage. This puts that meeting in ''Railgun'' in a new light: Misaki suddenly re-encountering the boy she has feelings for, a boy that she knows will never retain memories of her. And not only that, she is with her rival, who also has been regularly interacting with that same boy as of late. It's not a surprise that after episode 3 of ''Railgun T'' aired, sales of ''New Testament'' Volume 11 shot up.

This is implying that Mikoto has ever shown anything resembling seriously returning any of Kuroko's affections in the Yuri way, which she has not, nor has Railgun ever seriously broached that sort of subject outside of comedy.

* TheScrappy: Because of her actions at the time, Uiharu was absolutely loathed by the fanbase throughout most of the final episodes of the first ''Railgun'' anime season, it was only when Kuroko gave her a [[RescuedFromtheScrappyHeap much needed slap-in-the-face]] that people started warming up to her again. It also helps that this took place in [[{{Filler}} anime-original]] content; giving Uiharu a free pass ''despite'' her actions.

** The Sisters count too, considering how they are created just to be brutally murdered by Accelerator in the Level 6 Shift project. This is especially apparent in the flashback of the first clone’s death, where she mumbles something amongst “is this death…?” and “cold…” as she is slowly dying. 9982 is by far the most notorious, [[spoiler:what’s with [[Main/AnArmAndALeg her leg getting ripped off its place]] (doesn’t help that she is shown to be visibly pained during that moment, and this is especially jarring considering she shows [[Main/EmotionlessGirl little emotions]] before) and her [[Main/GoOutWithASmile smiling]] while holding the Gekota pin Mikoto gave her beforehand before [[Main/CruelAndUnusualDeath getting crushed by a train locomotive]].]]
