The anime adaptations didn't show any of the details and hard situations that Touma is in. In the novel, Touma actually uses more of his brain in stead of his right hand. IB isn't that strong. It weankens Touma and elimiates his original power. It also has a lot of limitations because it can't elminate everything that easy. However, Touma somehow figures out how to make IB turn into his advantage. It's not IB that makes Touma powerful, it's Touma who makes IB powerful.

If you are thinking about meleeing Touma is gonna work, I'm telling you you're wrong. Tiouma's physique is not like ordinary people. He can jump off from 7th floor without getting hurts. Only 168cm tall but still punched a 2m guy several meters away. Broke bullet-proof glass with his bare fist. Smash the iron gate by himself. Got hit by a car which is 120km/h but can still stand up. During the linkage with Durarara, Touma literally got 15 punches by Heiwajima Shizuo ,who can destroy a high-speed train with only one punch, and he can still stand up and fight back(even though Touma lost at the end).

There is also a reason for Touma's abnormal physique. Touma was not born as normal person. His name Kamijou Touma has a homophnic which means The One who Purifies Gods and Slays Demons. This homophonic was mentioned in the 2nd volume, but the anime adaptation deleted this part in in 1st season.

The truth is, Touma got his ass kicked in every fight, his opponents are no fools. They all have their own stratigies to against IB and they also got their own powers which Touma is not familiar with. They have their advantages and their stratigies always work. However, Touma is no fool either, after knowing his opponent's abilities he can also make his stratigies to counter attack. The fightings in Toaru series is actually really complex. You have to understand each Touma's opponent's ability which is always complicated as hell, and also the situations by considering environment, characters' emotions, the whole plot and other unstable factors. Otherwise, you won't understand what is going on.

About talking, many of Touma's lines in the anime are actaully narrations and mental activities in the novel. I don't know why the director makes all of these narrations and mental activities into lines. In the novel, Touma still talks a lot, but better than in the anime.
