She was introduced in Railgun Episode 1, in a parallel to her Index Volume 8 introduction and differing from the events in Chapter 1 which were adapted in Episode 1. Episode 1 aired quite a while before Chapter 40 was released, in which the events surrounding her manga introduction were depicted, an introduction which differs from the anime's events (both her introduction and subsequent interactions).

Due to these changes, Shokuhou's anime introduction (which was moved to Railgun S Episode 1, which aired after her manga introduction chapter was released but takes place earlier in the year in-story) was also changed slightly so it didn't contradict the events previously depicted in the anime.

Although the general area of the story which Chapter 40 could be said to be a part of will be adapted in Railgun III, given the circumstances, that chapter won't be adapted straight - it would either be adapted in a form altered to fit the anime chronology or not adapted at all.
