Trivia

 * The Destruction of Tree Diagram is not at all connected with Harumi being rejected for its use, even in the original manga, as the date has yet to reach July 28. It can be presumed that Harumi was rejected due to bureaucratic reasons.

Cultural References

 * Like in Toaru Majutsu no Index, the Anti-Skill uses something somewhat similar to a SIG SG552.

Referbacks

 * Harumi says that she only required 10,000 espers for her use in her Level Upper brainwave network. This is the estimated number of Radio Noise clones left after the Level 6 Shift has been cancelled, that forms the Misaka Network, a clear parallel between the Level Upper and Misaka Network.
 * Mikoto references failing to shock Touma back in episode 4 during their duel.

Quotes

 * Harumi: "Misaka Mikoto. One of the seven Level 5 students in Academy City. I suspect even you haven't fought an opponent like me before. Can you stop me, the controller of 10,000 brains? "Can you stop me?""―To Mikoto.
 * Mikoto: "Stop kidding around! You don't want to hurt anyone? You've already gotten so many people involved... You've played with their feelings... There's no way I can let that go!"―To Harumi.
 * Harumi: "Even though you're a Level 5, when it comes down to it you're just a pampered rich girl."―To Mikoto.
 * Mikoto: "Direct contact electrocution. It didn't work on that idiot, but there's no way you have that ridiculous ability, right?"
 * Harumi: "I hate kids... They have no delicacy... They're rude... They're mischievous... They're illogical... They're too friendly... They get attached to you easily... I hate kids."
 * Banri: "Of course that'd be great, but we were taken in and raised by Academy City. I want to become helpful to the city somehow."―To Harumi.
 * Gensei: "Kiyama-kun, you did well. It's a pity we lost them, but they were sacrifices in the name of science."―To Harumi.
 * Harumi: "Those children never woke up, and continue to sleep even now. We used them as guinea pigs and then threw them away!"―To Mikoto.
 * Harumi: "23 times. To find a cure and to simulate the experiment to find the failure, that's how many times I've applied for the use of Tree Diagram. If I had the computational power of Tree Diagram, I'm sure I could save those children. I could let them run under the sun again... But I was rejected, all 23 times! The head council was in on it, so there's no way Antiskill would move!"―To Mikoto.
 * Harumi: "What the hell do you know?!"―To Mikoto.
