 * Q&A #1, 7:49 PM: Fuyukawa - Analog/Digital Drawing

29/09/2020

 * Q&A #1, 12:25 AM: Trick Art original plan (multiple thread)
 * English translation, js06 (multiple thread)
 * Q. What was the most difficult scene in any manga you've worked on?
 * A. Railgun Ch10. Both coming up with the polarization power and putting together the fight scene. Fuyukawa was still not used to doing action scenes and then Kamachi rejected our original idea for the enemy's power. It was only after getting the polarization power OK'd that we got a storyboard put together. But that wasn't any good and the whole thing was rejected and it ultimately ended up the way it is in the final manga. Railgun has been running for 13 years, but (I think) Ch10 was the only time an entire chapter was rejected. The original idea for Trick Art's power was precognition that let him see 1 second into the future. That idea was later reworked as a certain kunoichi's power.
 * Q&A #2, 12:53 AM:
 * Q&A #3, 1:01 AM: Interesting stories about Fuyukawa
 * English translation, js06
 * Q. Are there any interesting stories about Fuyukwa like there are for Kamachi?

 * Q&A #1, 8:15 PM: Scavenger in Dream Ranker arc was Fuyukawa's suggestion

 * Q&A #2, 8:16 PM: Mikoto involving Hanzou was cut in tankobon release due to the request of Fuyukawa.
 * English translation, js06
 * Q. Why wasn't Railgun's Hanzou chapter included in the tankobon?

 * Q&A #4, 8:24 PM:
 * Q&A #5, 8:25 PM:

 * Q&A #25, 10:56 AM:
 * English translation, Reddit
 * Q: Do Frenda and Saten know each other's name?

 * Q: Are there any plans for Misaka to fight a Saint in Railgun?

 * English translation, js06
 * "Someone asked the Railgun editor whether Houjou from Astral Buddy was a Kouga or Iga ninja and he asked for Nogi to explain. Nogi responded to say she is neither Iga nor Kouga and belongs to a different ninja clan. He says the Houjou name is a hint. Nogi also said he could only hint at these things in AB since it wasn't important to the main plot and there wasn't enough space to really get into it."

 * Q: In the Railgun anime, Kuroko often works at Branch 117, but in Astral Buddy, she works with Komaki. What Judgment Branch does she work for and why is she always working at Branch 117?
 * A: The Judgment situation in the LNs + Mangas is different from in the anime. Judgment members normally only work within their own school, so Kuroko belongs to Branch 3 within Tokiwadai.

 * Q. In the last volume of Astral Buddy, there was a scene of visiting graves, but was it outside of Academy City? I remembered that there were almost no religious facilities insde the Academy City. So if it was outside, would Misaki have been building intelligence network outside of Academy City?
 * A. I have already consulted with Kamachi about the graveyard issue of Academy City. In advance, it was concluded that religous institutions in the Academy City are concentrated in the School District 12, so there is a possibility of a situation like the last chapter.

 * For the Holistic esper ability. These days, I wonder why so many people who ask it's strange to apparoach the theory of NT4. As the information increased, it would be more fun to consider it against the discrepancy of the theories.
 * (1) Why did the Angel Draon choose Kimi? What was the actual relationship between two of them? (2) What was the micro power of Kimi that was not observed. (3) What was the distortion caused by Kimi's holistic epser power? What kind of laws, not the usual thing, covered in the scene?
 * There are many other mysteries, so I would like you to consider them. I think (3) in particular has something to do with Uiharu?

Was there a specific reason or you guys just thought it would be interesting for Misaka Mikoto to fight against? Thank you for the time of reading this question and I hope you have a nice day.

 * Q. Can we think of all the spinoffs (Railgun, Accel, Dark Matter) as a part of the main Index timeline? (Uiharu's awakening, Mikoto's iron sand giant, and Touma's dragons seem pretty out there to me.)
 * A. Kamachi supervises all of them, so generally all of it 'happened'. However, Railgun for example is depicted through the filter of Mikoto's POV, so it shows how Mikoto saw and heard things and that could lead to some discrepancies in how Index characters and events are shown. A media mix involves many people beyond the original author (manga artists, directors, screenwriters, background artists, etc.), so there will always be discrepancies and differences in interpretation between different works. By the way, a bunch of dragons coming from Touma's right hand for the climax of the Daihaseisai arc was Kamachi's suggestion.

 * New Year Note #1, 9:00 PM


 * The best thing about this year was that the 3rd season of Railgun Anime was able to finish with excellent quality, not to be defeated by Corona. If you haven't seen it yet, please come during the New Year. For the serialization, the Jailbreaker Arc has been completed, and I will start doing my homework that I was talking about someday next year. Stay Tuned.
 * New Year Note #2, 9:58 PM


 * The issue that will be carried over to next year is the serialization of Toaru Kagaku no Mental Out (tentative). I think I'll be looking for a partner to work with, considering magazines and media that I've never worked with before. I'll do my best!

 * New Arc Note #1, 2:02 PM
 * Translation by js06
 * According to Railgun's editor, he and Fuyukawa have wanted to do an arc about Mikoto's past for 12 years now.
 * New Arc Note #2, 2:33 PM
 * Translation by js06
 * This appears to be why they're doing it now: "It would be difficult to tell the kind of Railgun story the readers want in the post-WW3 world."
 * New Arc Note #3, 5:09 PM
 * I really understand how you feel. I'm ashamed that I've been binding up as talented as Mr. Fuyukawa for 14 years. I've been preparing for his next work little by little.
 * New Arc Note #4, 11:05 PM

 * New Arc Note #6, 6:24 PM
 * The title of each episode of the Railgun after the Sisters Arc is two kanji characters, but this principle can be violated for special occasions. The title of the latest episode is "Railgun" (『超電磁砲』). Please check with your own eyes why this is the title. The heads of Tokiwadai's three major cliques will also participate in the war!!!
 * New Arc Note #7, 6:27 PM
 * By the way, it is a secret that this progression was the most dangerous in the history of the serialization of Railgun.
 * Trivia #1, 10:26 AM
 * Railgun's chapter title is named by Ogino, but Astral Buddy's chapter title is named by Nogi.

 * Q&A #1 (2021)

 * Q&A #2 (2021): Reason for MO manga official twitter
 * Q&A #3 (2021): What's your nickname for your works
 * Q&A #4 (2021)
 * Q. Hello. Will be there sequel to Dark Matter manga?
 * A. I'm not in charge of Dark Matter manga, so I can't tell.
 * Q&A #5 (2021)
 * Q. If Tsuchimikado Motoharu had a spin-off, which category would it be? Magic or Science?
 * A. Doing Mikoto's spin-off for almost science side only is just a local rule that I set when launching the Railgun series. There is no reason for other works to be tied up in one side, so I think Tsuchimikado spin-off has to go back and forth between both sides.
