Talk:Takitsubo Rikou

After going to Russia, is Rikou completely healed and is still unable to use her powers? or hasn't this been disclosed?

Rikou's life is no longer in danger of death from the previous over-use of the 'crystallized esper essence', but her condition isn't fully recovered yet. She can't use her ability there is a risk her health will get worse. Flere821 23:33, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

Rikou cannot swim
Actually it seems that Rikou can swim, however her concept of swimming consist on laying flat on the poll, floating like a corpse (it's been shown in chap 25 of Railgun manga and I think this has been visited expressed in the novel as well or somewhere else). Apparently it's Kinuhata the one who can't swim, as she has one of those boards that are meant to help inexperienced people float and thus practice swimming.
