Junta (Railgun manga)

Junta is a minor character in the Toaru Majutsu no Index series. He is part of a gang of nine thugs that all used 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 the info they have. However, Kamijou Touma interferes with the deal, unknowingly sabotaging Mikoto's efforts, but he finds 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 gang, seeing Mikoto subdue Junta, prepare to fight her, revealing that the lot of them used the Level Upper to gain abilities equal to Level 2, but Mikoto easily subdues the lot of them as well.

Index Arc
In the Index anime, Junta and seven others of his gang are shown to be the ones chasing Kamijou 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.
