Toaru Kagaku no Railgun T Episode 09

Kouzaku Mitori (警策看取 (こうざくみとり) ) is the 9th episode of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun T. It was broadcast on March 27th 2020.

Kuroko finally discovered the identity of the mysterious girl from earlier. Kouzaku Mitori was enrolled in Kirigaoka Girls' Academy's middle school division, but information about her was hidden somehow. Upon further investigating in the control center of the Bank, Kouzaku was considered dead, but there are suspicious details found in her records. Moreover, rumors from a staff member caused Kuroko and the others to become more doubtful of the situation.

Mikoto and Shokuhou, who are in search of the mastermind Kihara Gensei, head to the conference room where he was supposed to make an appearance and tried to confirm his arrival at the venue. By using their abilities, they made their way inside of the conference hall and proceeded with their search. At last, the plan to capture the man-in-hiding Kihara Gensei becomes a success!
