Sketch 1: Kamijou Touma and Index-tan
Touma receives a call from Komoe telling him to go to his make-up class. Naturally, Touma is indignant about this. Touma then begins taking out the mattress of his bed, to air it outside on his balcony, all the while lamenting about his misfortune. While there, Touma discovers an incredibly small nun with a symbol over her eye, much to his shock. The little girl awakens due to hunger, and tells Touma that she is hungry. Surprised by this, Touma takes a step back, however, the girl is suddenly away by a small flying bird, only leaving her headdress. In the end, an audible falling sound is heard, with Touma still unbelieving of what just occurred.

Sketch 2: Kamijou Touma and Index-tan
Touma is walking with Index-tan on top of his head eating sandwhiches she gets from nowhere. Touma comments on how familiar the scene is, to which Index-tan replies that is because of the fact that the publisher and the studio are the same. Touma comments that her hypothesis is non-sense, which irritates Index-tan and begins telling to shut-up in a childish manner. Hearing her tantrum, Touma states that she should not force herself to imitate her, hearing this, Index-tan immediately plugs in an advertisement regarding a DVD that is suspiciously censored. Touma tells her to stop it, to which Index-tan states that she will begin plucking out his hair, and does so several times. Touma keeps on walking throughout this ordeal, apparently unperturbed by Index-tan's hairpulling, though he still tells her to stop it.

Sketch 4: Tsukuyomi Komoe and Index-tan
During the healing magic ritual, Index-tan tells Komoe to imagine a beautiful golden angel with the physique of that of a child. Komoe tries her best to imagine an angel, but gives up, however, she realizes that her room begins to distort and she slowly sinks into the floor. Index-tan continues to tell Komoe to form an image of an angel.

With little time to spare, Komoe tries her best to imagine a cute angel. With her effort, the room stops being distorted and an ominous bluish glow begins to appear. Here, "cute" angels appear and begin to merge as Komoe opens her eyes, which later forms into a much bigger yet still crudely drawn angel. With the image of the angel formed, Index-tan confirms the fixation, and laments the situation.

The third question, was not finished yet refers to a certain voice actress getting drunk at the launch party of the anime. It immediately cuts again with Kaori shouting the same thing, however, it continues on with Touma getting kicked in the face, telling him not to talks as if he knows what's going on. While beating Touma up with his scabbard, Kaori tells that she did her best and tried to liven things up there, gulping them down in one shot and immediately got drunk.

Touma blocks the power of John's Pen Mode Index's Dragon's Breath, while telling Stiyl and Kaori on how they have waited for this very moment, where in a method where they don't need to be Index's enemies is possible, a method where everyone smiles and which would lead to the best happy ending.

Touma contiunes his blocking of the beam, and keeps telling them that this development is what they have been waiting for, and that they swore to save Index with their own hands. Unfortunately, during his extended monologue, Touma asks them if they'd like to be the main characters of the story too, and stop being side characters. Hearing this, Stiyl and Kaori immediately seize upon the opportunity.

Aogami wiggles around, obviously enjoying making fun of Kaori, and asks for the price again, this time, however, Kaori instead says Nanasen.

Trivia

 * Toaru Majutsu no Index-tan was released on the first limited edition DVDs of the first season. It parodies certain scenes of the anime and borrows the concept of an extremely super deformed Index from fellow JC Staff and ASCII Media Works show and light novel Shakugan no Shana.
 * The mark on Index-tan's left eye has yet to be explained.
 * Aogami Pierce's non-canon interaction with Kanzaki Kaori would be the only time both characters talk to each other.

Cultural References

 * Apart from her diminutive size, Index-tan mimics several idiosyncracies of Shana-tan. First off, Index-tan rides her partner the same Shana-tan does, on top of the partner's head. Second, Index-tan eats yakisoba the same way as Shana-tan eats her melon pan, fast and seemingly endless which pulls from her back (hammperspace). Third, when Index-tan says Chut-up instead of shut-up when she is angered by Touma, this comes from Shana-tan who says that word whenever her partner angers her, which is further derived from Shakugan no Shana protagonist Shana's tendency to say the word shut-up several times in quick succession when irritated. Finally, Index-tan hair pulling of Touma's hair and says "be bald" is similarly derived from Shana-tan.
 * Index-tan actually advertises the Shakugan no Shana DVDs, which was censored for some reason.
 * The Palmtop Tiger, a mascot from popular light novel and anime Toradora! (from both ASCII Media Works and JC Staff respectively) appears during Himegami Aisa's first appearance in a sketch.
 * The events wherein Kanzaki Kaori's seiyu, Shizuka Itou, became drunk during the lauch party of the anime actually happened.
 * Stiyl Magnus hiding behind a post reserved only for him is a reference to Yoshida Kazumi and Wilhelmina Carmel's behaviour in the Shana-tan specials, stalking of Sakai Yuji and Shana-tan respectively. Interestingly, Shizuka Itou is the seiyu Wilhelmina Carmel.
 * Kaori's attack the Nanasen is used as a pun as its pronounciation is similar on how the number 7000 is pronounced in Japanese.
 * Nasi Goreng refers to a fried rice found in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Animation Trivia

 * Apart from Index-tan's movement animation, nearly all animated sequences of the special are reused from various parts of the first season of the anime during its first half.
 * The background featured in the A Certain Anime's Shopping Channel features an entirely new background not seen in the anime.
 * Index-tan being starry-eyed after the commercial is actually only a miniturized Index from the first episode and not really Index-tan. This is apparent because Index is lacking the mark on her left eye.

Goofs/Nitpicks
Komoe's voice is still audible despite beeing bleeped out by a moo sound in the final sketch.
