Junta (Railgun manga)

Junta (Railgun manga) is a minor character in the Toaru Majutsu no Index series. He is part of a gang of thugs, and is a user of the Level Upper.

Level Upper Incidents
In his official debut here, he's shown refusing to tell Misaka Mikoto, who's undercover alongside Shirai Kuroko, any information he and his gang knows about the Lever Upper. His friend tries to persuade Mikoto to trade him not cash, but her company for the info, but with a convincing act, Mikoto manages to have them accept cash for it. However, Kamijou Touma interferes with the deal, unknowingly sabotaging Mikoto's efforts, before finding himself outnumbered and flees. As Junta and his gang are chasing Touma, Mikoto tries to proceed with the botched deal, but Junta tells her to go away, which leads to her frying him. The others, seeing Mikoto subdue Junta, prepare to fight her, revealing that they used the Level Upper to gain abilities equal to Level 2, but Mikoto easily subdues them as well.

Index Arc
In the Toaru Majutsu no Index anime, Junta and his gang are shown to be the ones chasing Touma.

Trivia

 * In his debut appearance, there are nine guys in his gang, him included. Later on, while pursuing Touma, he, followed by the rest of his gang, are fried by Mikoto. The Prologue of Volume 1 states that eight guys are still pursuing Kamijou Touma, which implies that one of the nine in said gang stopped pursuing Touma before Mikoto fries Junta.
 * His name and actions most likely served as the foundation of a similar character in the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun anime who's also a delinquent and a user of the Level Upper.
