The "Kihara Gensei" that was supposed to be captured was actually a body double. Knowing this, Shokuhou became aware of the possibility of another potential danger and immediately took action. At the besieged safehouse of Shokuhou, unforeseen circumstances created a roadblock. Shokuhou rushes towards Gensei's apparent destination, which is a facility connected with her childhood, as well as a certain project.

That time, Shokuhou was part of a research institution called Clone Dolly, where she underwent ability development. Here, she met a girl named Dolly. Due to her illness, this girl cannot survive without the help of machines, and was separated from her closest friend. Shokuhou was asked to babysit Dolly, but soon enough became friends with her.

Major Events

 * Kihara Gensei successfully breached Misaki's safehouse in School District 2. Several maintenance personnel were extracted from the facility, except for Keitz Nokleben and Misaka 10032.
 * Shokuhou Misaki's past as a test subject of the Clone Dolly project was revealed. She met a girl named Dolly and became friends with her until her death. Dolly's passing became Misaki's motivation to take over the entire facility.
 * Gensei used the brainwave manipulation techniques he taught to Kiyama Harumi, the developer of Level Upper, to gain access to the Exterior, a massive construct that enables registered users to use Mental Out regardless of exposure to the Power Curriculum Program.
 * The Misaka Network becomes infected by a virus installed by Gensei.
 * Xochitl reveals to Saten that Kouzaku Mitori's target was actually Misaka Mikoto.
 * Gensei forcefully connected Misaka Mikoto into the infected Misaka Network and officially declared the start of the Level 6 attempt on the rank-third Level 5.

Trivia

 * The unnamed driver is voiced by Iwasaki Ryōta.
 * On Twitter, Railgun manga editor Ogino Kentarou expands on Gensei's comment regarding "Aleister's Favorite". According to the tweets, Gensei had learned of Aleister's ruses surrounding the Level 6 Shift and the Sisters, and was not happy about it. Knowing that the Misaka Network was apparently part of the plans of Academy City's leader, Gensei's usage of the Network for another Level 6 Shift experiment was partly payback against Aleister.

Referbacks

 * The scenes of Accelerator and Last Order, where they are affected by the virus inserted by Kihara Gensei into the Misaka Network, are anime-original.
 * Although it wasn't shown in the manga, Railgun manga editor Ogino Kentarou had confirmed Accelerator's situation during the incident in a Q&A session.
