Talk:Daihasei Festival Arc (Railgun)/@comment-29383865-20160808195316/@comment-73.162.50.194-20160905230300

A bit late, but the reason I believe why we don't see the Penalty Game on the Railgun side is because the focus of the Railgun's Daihaisei Festival side was Mikoto's Level 6 Shift. In Index, Misaka was not a major player in the Daihaisei Festival. It was only until the Railgun story covered it where we see what Misaka was doing. Another point of focus was Dolly and Misaki's story as well, though it's been quite some time now since I last read it, so I forgot a lot about them.

This is exactly why we don't really see Railgun material overlapping in the Index novels/anime, and vice versa. There's a reason why Railgun was popular to have its own spinoff so that material doesn't need to be mentioned on both stories. In the future, I would not expect much to overlap between the two series unless of course Misaka was a major player in the Index side of things (Like Sisters Arc).

To add to everything, I mean, we can say that the penalty game was basically "filler" in Index that did not really hold much importance. It was fanservice imo, but it's not as if I disagree with any of that lol.
