Lyrics

Japanese	English Translation
Susumu time bomb akatsuki de Chikyuu wa kyou mo mawari Hurry Up! Hitogoto ni nante dekinai no ni ne.	I'm carrying a ticking time bomb The Earth keeps on turning, so hurry up! Doesn't it care about it?
Fui ni yaburareu joushiki fumei eye misadame to sadame ikidoori no ame ni nureta.	Suddenly common sense is violated One fate intertwines with another And the rain of resentment drenches them all
Guuzen ginen kimagure no naka de amasa wo mashiteku atsui kodou nagarekomu come now everyone	But why? Doubt and carelessness have grave consequences A hot pulse signals the incoming cannonball
Ready? koko ni ikiyou sei amashi subete negai no imi mo iro wo kaeta Tsukuritai kokoro okufukaku a a kanjiru Ichizu na toda hitotsu Ready to hold.	Ready! Everything is drawn to this place It goes beyond the meaning and intent of our desires My heart wants to stay strong I feel it deep inside me With all my soul, this one thing I'm ready to hold onto

Trivia

A small snippet of the song is played in the second half of the Toaru Majutsu no Index III PV released during Comiket 94.
With 56 unique characters, the opening contains the record for most character in a single opening in the entire franchise.
Touma doesn't fight anyone in the opening unlike the previous openings.
Aleister Crowley doesn't appear in this opening, unlike the first opening of both of the previous two seasons.
