Talk:Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 14/@comment-209.147.110.235-20151118065242

Kazuma Kamachi's is a devious one. I can't decide whether he is actually going to show us what that "power" that's different from Imagine Breaker actually is. He teases it at the end of NT 13, and references it at the end of this one, but we have yet to actually see it.

I'm also totally confused by it. It seems like this is the power that made Fiamma crap himself, this same power that Othinus utterly crushed at one point, but the same power that beat the crap out of Kamisato who himself should have been able to crush full-powered Othinus. So is it a super stong power or is it crushable?

I wonder if Kamachi doesn't even want to show this power. He makes it seem like Touma's strength is the ability to work through his weaknesses, making it seem like true heroism is being completely ordinary; which this novel illustrates with Othinus's cautions to Touma about having more power, and also Touma's previous rejection of using that power in his fight with Fiamma. Further, that it was crushed by Othinus makes it seem like it's of no real use anyway. With all of these messages about what Touma's true strength is and the method he goes about saving people, I frankly don't understand why Kamachi is even teasing about this supra-ordinary power. I can't fathom what purpose he intends it to serve for the story.
