Referbacks

 * Toaru Kagaku no Railgun SS2: Shopping Mall Demonstration is referenced by Misaka in relation to her not getting a limited edition Gekota merchandise.
 * The scene where Ekaterina II S is propelled using Kongou's ability from episode 24 of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S is shown when Kongou is similarly trying to propel a parabolic antenna using her powers. This somehow recognizes the existence of the Silent Party Arc, which clashes with the implications in of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun T.

Differences in Adaptation

 * Misaka and Kongou competing in the Balloon Race while the former explains her situation to the latter is skipped completely.
 * A crow attacks Misaka 10032's cat instead of dogs thereby removing the scene where Kongou is chased by them.

Animation Trivia

 * The crow that attacks Misaka 10032's cat is completely CGI.
