Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S Episode 22

STUDY is the twenty-second episode for the second season for the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun anime adaption, and the forty-fifth episode overall. It was first broadcasted on September 13, 2013.

The time left for Febri is 72 hours.

In order to obtain a clue to save her, Mikoto goes to where Therestina is being imprisoned. This is because Therestina is someone who is known for experimenting on the children living of Academy City after all. However, Mikoto is warned that to taste a glimpse of the darkness, she may never look the same at the city ever again, even hating it.

The two stare at each other, but Therestina nonetheless give Mikoto a clue. The clue is that Febri was in the presence of something called Chemicaloid in the Academic Meeting that made her. Meanwhile, ITEM has acquired false information in the surface, in order to track down the person that hired them, thus starts the action.
