Talk:Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 09/@comment-38.98.224.69-20131228210718/@comment-7263151-20131230054351

I feel like there's way too much fighting here (on the forum lol) ... :(

Anyway, the most interesting part about this set of spoilers is that as a consequence of what happened, only Touma and Othinus's personalities have changed... so no one else understands the change. Since nobody else could see how Touma changed so much, the hell that he went through, I'm guessing that would mean that I'm guessing most of his faction won't side with him and Othinus. Index and Mikoto might just think that Othinus is somehow brainwashing him or that he is acting crazy.

Even at best if Mikoto and Index side with Touma (considering Mikoto won't buy any magical explanation and Index understands that Othinus is an enemy), Touma still probably won't get support from the others who only remember Othinus's bad actions.

This turn of events seems like the best thing I've ever seen in the series, I hope these spoilers are true. There are a lot of references here to other light novels in the series like volume 22 with Fiamma,  NT volume 6(?) with you know who, and a lot of other references like with the number 10031 (which might actually be important...) that make this seem pretty well written-credible. I still think this might not be real, but even so it's an amazing plot-line, so I hope it is real :D

Touma has the best character development I really wanted to see. Also, for the people complaining, I'm sure the novel form is going to be a lot better than the spoilers. People say this same exact sentence/line/phrase/piece of advice every time the spoilers come out and a new light novel comes out. I don't get why everyone, every time, pretends like they didn't learn this the previous time. Spoilers don't give motivations behind anything that happens, so I feel like we really should just take them in mind (they might also be fake) and just think about them until the novel comes out and really tells us about what is happening.

Either way, if this spoiler is true the largest piece of information we got was about how Imagine Breaker works, and this information actually tells us that Touma might not have plot armor forever, because maybe he isn't necessary 100% of the time.

I also want to see Touma fight against his faction because it was hinted again and again in NT 8 that Touma was only useful because of his IB to use against Othinus and that he was trash otherwise. So considering that he is now siding with her against the world, he really doesn't have any power to use himself, and none of the big powers really respect his wishes. That in itself sounds really interesting to me.

Anyway, I really think this whole set of spoilers is really interesting, I guess we'll find out soon enough whether or not they're real.
