Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S Episode 11

is the eleventh episode for the second season of the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun series. It was first broadcasted on June 21, 2013.

The research institutes that have been doing the "experiment" have been shutdown after the efforts of a certain person. After a long and lonely night, Misaka Mikoto finally returns to her everyday life. There, however, a spiky-haired boy appears before him, Kamijou Touma.

But a quarrel is an assurance with the two of them, as Touma seemingly does not remember her leading to Mikoto to become infuriated. Withal, the fuss is made much worse as the yearnful kouhai Shirai Kuroko appears.

Same old same old. Mikoto tries to relieve herself of this every day life of hers, but suddenly, a "Sister" appears before her, who tells her that the experiment is still ongoing, much to Mikoto's shock. Appalled by this revelation, Mikoto is forced to confront this naked truth before her!
