Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Manga Chapter 113

Crazed Love (狂愛) is the 113th chapter of the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun manga series, released on March 27th 2019 in Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh.

Synopsis
The first clash between Kuroko and Tsurigane ends with a bloody mouth and a missing tooth for Tsurigane and clothes sliced at the stomach (revealing another concrete tile) for Kuroko. The two girls traded compliments for each other's combat prowess, and soon the topic about the ninja's former affiliation is opened. Tsurigane recalls being saved by Oumi Shuri as a young girl left to be fed to the wolves, and she reveals her lack of interest in the abduction of Uiharu. Her actual plan is to get herself killed after abandoning her ninja comrades and to relish her final moments looking at her headless corpse. Such an idea is something that Kuroko doesn't understand; she prefers dying while having a happy memory, which for her is an intimate moment with Mikoto for the last time.

After the short conversation, the two girls continue their fight. Tsurigane is amazed at how Kuroko is able to use calculation feinting to throw off her ability, not knowing that Kuroko struggles to look for an opening. The ninja soon uses one of her throwing knives attached to a length of string combined with physical strikes to pressure Kuroko. From a close range, Tsurigane quickly gains the upper hand as her attacks begin to come from complicated angles. But, Kuroko soon shows her original intention of not letting her escape, and Tsurigane responds by going on the offensive.

Knowing that her calculations are easily shaken off by surprise attacks, Tsurigane lunges towards Kuroko with multiple attacks coming towards her. Then, from an unexpected angle, Tsurigane's throwing knife slices Kuroko's palm open, forcing her to teleport away, although unable to actually hide from the pursuing ninja.
