She is proud of herself most of the time despite being newly transferred and possesses traits of a real ''ojou-sama'', unlike Misaka Mikoto who is the complete opposite, because of this personality she is often at odds with [[Shirai Kuroko]]. Because of this personality however, she is completely unaware of common everyday things such as finding directions or how to use the proper tool for foodstuffs.

Because of this personality however, she is completely unaware of common everyday things such as finding directions or how to use the proper tool for foodstuffs.
   
She often embellishes the truth for her own convenience and will try to stretch the truth until she can no longer keep up the facade, this was shown in episode 13 of the ''Railgun'' anime where she lies to her friends that she can cook curry wherein fact she didn't know how. Despite this she is an honorable and decent girl looks out for her friends, is kind to children, and is willing to help people in need. This is displayed in episode 23 of the ''Railgun'' anime where she helps Mikoto after she was defeated by Therestina. She comes to her self-proclaimed rival/friend's aid a second time in episode 24 and fought by her rival Kuroko's side to buy Mikoto time to help Professor Kiyama save her students. During this battle, she and Kuroko come to grudgingly respect each other as warriors.

She also tends to warn her opponents by reminding them who she is and is confident of her own abilities. It is also worth noting that just like Kuroko, Mitsuko is "very" frank about her sexuality and loves to flaunt and show off her well-proportioned body; though in her case its justified by her part-time career as a swimwear model.

Her lofty attitude however, is played lower in the ''Toaru Kagaku no Railgun'' manga shortly after her debut. Later in the latter half of ''Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S'', Mitsuko's personality takes a dramatic turn, most likely to make Mitsuko's personality closer to her manga counterpart. Here, though she is still overconfident and boastful, she is now somehow more shy, helpful, and eagerly craving for more friends and to please them. Her animosity with Kuroko has disappeared, making Kuroko's animosity towards Mitsuko completely one-sided.

She is later tasked in aiding Mikoto and the others help search for clues regarding the man who wants to reclaim Febrie in the Academic Assembly venue, but this time she brings Kinuho and Maaya along. Mitsuko later reports on their failure to Mikoto. When Mikoto says that they too have not yet found clues regarding the Powered Suit that attacked Febrie, she tells Mikoto that she'll help as well, saying that her father's company has a branch that works on Powered Suits.<ref name="KagakuSEp21">[[Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S Episode 21]]</ref> Apparently having free time from investigating the man who is after Febrie, Mitsuko, Kinuho, and Maaya, go out and buy a new dress for Febrie. They later go to the [[Judgment 177 Branch Office]] to see Febrie. There, they are inquired by the girls if they found any clues, and here they are forced to apologize for their failure Mitsuko tries to cheer everyone up by saying that they'll surely find a clue sooner or later. She later presents the gift to Mitsuko with much anxiousness, but becomes happy when Febrie readily accepts it. She later sees Febrie swoon as the poison that is accumulating her body is already too much for her to bear. Seeing this, Kazari tries to search for more clues on the computer. Misuko notices this, and when Kazari found a profile of Haruki, Mitsuko points out that he was the one they saw in the Assembly venue, to which Kinuho and Maaya confirms. They later discover Haruki's history with the Assembly.<ref name="KagakuSEp22">[[Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S Episode 22]]</ref>

She apparently checks up on the request to her father's company to investigate on the Powered Suits, to which she is informed that there have been at least 20,000 Powered Suits constructed by the [[STUDY Corporation]]. She later informs this to the girls at the same time Kazari discovers it as well. After deciding to take on STUDY and the [[Silent Party]] without any help at all from Anti-Skill for the sake of Febrie and Janie, Febrie's Sister, Mitsuko calls her father to ask him for the use of the [[Ekaterina II S]] mecha. She most likely handed out the manuals to [[Saten Ruiko]] and [[Uiharu Kazari]] after she was approved.<ref name=KagakuSEp23>[[Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S Episode 23]]</ref>

Revision as of 20:43, 15 February 2020

Kongou Mitsuko (婚后 光子 Kongō Mitsuko?) is a recurring character that appears in the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun side-stories. Being a Tokiwadai Student and Level 4 Esper, her pride often result in her getting involved in unfortunate situations which however overshadows her obviously strong abilities.

In the novels, she first appeared in volume 8, but her character design was never shown until the anime aired. Furthermore, she makes her debut earlier in the anime than in the manga, the latter makes her move into Tokiwadai Middle School in the middle of summer.

Appearance

Her most distinguishing feature is her prominent forehead which is flanked by two fringes of her black hair which is rather long and kept neatly. Mitsuko has an attractive and well endowed figure, which she proudly flaunts and shows off in revealing swimwear when she is able to. She almost always appears carrying around her fan.

Kongou Fan

Kongou and her fan

Personality

She is proud of herself most of the time despite being newly transferred and possesses traits of a real ojou-sama, unlike Misaka Mikoto who is the complete opposite, because of this personality she is often at odds with Shirai Kuroko. Because of this personality however, she is completely unaware of common everyday things such as finding directions or how to use the proper tool for foodstuffs.

She often embellishes the truth for her own convenience and will try to stretch the truth until she can no longer keep up the facade, this was shown in episode 13 of the Railgun anime where she lies to her friends that she can cook curry wherein fact she didn't know how. Despite this she is an honorable and decent girl who looks out for her friends, is kind to children, and is willing to help people in need. This is displayed in episode 23 of the Railgun anime where she helps Mikoto after she was defeated by Therestina. She comes to her self-proclaimed rival/friend's aid a second time in episode 24 and fought by her rival Kuroko's side to buy Mikoto time to help Professor Kiyama save her students. During this battle, she and Kuroko come to grudgingly respect each other as warriors.

She also tends to warn her opponents by reminding them who she is and is confident of her own abilities. It is also worth noting that just like Kuroko, Mitsuko is "very" frank about her sexuality and loves to flaunt and show off her well-proportioned body; though in her case its justified by her part-time career as a swimwear model.

Her lofty attitude, however, is shown in a much lower degree in the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun manga shortly after her debut. Later in the latter half of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S, Mitsuko's personality takes a dramatic turn, most likely to make Mitsuko's personality closer to her manga counterpart. Here, though she is still overconfident and boastful, she is now somehow more shy, helpful, and eagerly craving for more friends and to please them. Her animosity with Kuroko has disappeared, making Kuroko's animosity towards Mitsuko completely one-sided.

Background

Young Kongou Mitsuko

A young Kongou Mitsuko.

Much of her past is unknown though it is revealed that she led a life of luxury and was surrounded by doting servants when she was younger. She is the heiress of the Kongou Aviation Industry which was held in high regard by the aviation industry.[1]

Eventually she came into Academy City and enrolled into its curriculum in another school. After being disappointed by her school she transferred into Tokiwadai Middle School after 1 year of preparation as a second-year student despite the apparent difficult of transferring to Tokiwadai Middle School.[1]

She is currently residing in the Tokiwadai's dormitory located within the School Garden.

Chronology

Toaru Majutsu no Index

Tree Diagram Remnant Arc

Main article: Tree Diagram Remnant Arc

She formally introduced in this arc, though only as a minor character. Mitsuko shows up boasting that herself will reach Level 5 before Kuroko, and then asks Kuroko whether she wants to start a faction with her in an attempt to gather political power within the school. Kuroko declined since if Mitsuko could actually create a faction of notable power the other factions would have crushed her already to prevent that happening. Then Mikoto's testing at the pool with her railgun ends up being heard where Kuroko and Mitsuko are, and Kuroko remarks if Mitsuko is only gathering members to further her own goals she better have the resolve to take on Tokiwadai's Railgun head on.[2] The pool segment where Mikoto is testing her Railgun is also used in the first episode of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun.

Toaru Kagaku no Railgun (anime)

Mitsuko debuts on the very first episode of the anime, where she is seen boasting of her abilities to Shirai telling her that she will become Tokiwadai's ace.

Mitsuko plays a prominent role in the 13th episode of the anime, where she wears a quite daring swimsuit and a boa constrictor for a photo shoot along with many of the females of the anime. Throughout the entire photoshoot, Mitsuko acted quite seductively even in ridiculous environments. She later teams up with Wannai Kinuho and Awatsuki Maaya to cook curry, both of which were admirers of her. Because of this she lied to them that she can create an amazing curry to them. After much consideration and cooking mishaps, she swallows her pride, confesses to them that she is unable to cook curry. Both Kinuho and Maaya accepted this and they ask for help from the others. Mikoto gladly helps them, which makes Mitsuko admire her and 'allows' her to be friends with her.

Shirai tricks her to act like a real maid and fetch her and company drinks, which Mitsuko gleefully accepts much to Kinuho and Maaya's embarrassment. Here it is revealed that Mitsuko lives in the Tokiwadai Dormitory in the School Garden.

Main article: Three Stories Arc

Although not exactly part of the arc, in the Railgun manga Kongou Mitsuko is introduced in the manga as a new transfer student in Tokiwadai Middle School.

Prior to the main events of the arc, she gets lost in the 7th School District and later bumps into Misaka Mikoto (who she has met for the first time) while she is being "courted" by Unabara Mitsuki. Similar to what Mikoto did with Touma, she uses Mitsuko as a way to get away from Mitsuki. They later hang-out together all the while with Mitsuko believing Mikoto's name as Mitsuki after Mikoto mistook her question, and at the same time confused why she is popular in the School Garden, not knowing she is a Level 5. She is later disappointed after Mikoto leaves her, realizing that they were only pretending to be friends.

Kongou later sees the Queen of Tokiwadai's clique with Maaya and Kinuho (who she meets for the first time) and later decides to make her own, after Maaya and Kinuho tells her in joining a clique in the school.

Not wanting to abandon it for her quest, she tries to find a Judgment to take care of it for her, and later finds from Wannai that the cat is of the possession of Mikoto's sister. As Wannai says she will help find Mikoto's sister through the use of a Psychometer friend of hers, and takes her leave, Mitsuko is approached by Baba Yoshio, talking about Mikoto's sister. He later lures her into an empty field, and coerces her with his robot dogs about information regarding Mikoto's "sister." Mitsuko assumes that he is a pawn of Misaki, and though she manages to greatly overpower Baba, she falls after being injected by nanodevices by Baba's mosquito robot, after trying to defend Misaka 10032's cat from his robot dogs. She is later beaten up, all the while trying to defend the cat. Wannai, Maaya, and Ruiko later arrive, and discover, much to their horror, what happened to Mitsuko.

She later threatens the clique members following her, and using the mosquito robot that was attached to Mitsuko, tries to track Baba down.[21]

After the events of the story arc, Mikoto later visits Mitsuko during the night on her own. Here, Mikoto apologizes for what happened to Mitsuko, to which she says that she doesn't regret what she did in choosing to aid Mikoto even if something worse befalls to her. Mitsuko says that she put her life on the line for her because she personally wanted to clear away Mikoto's troubles. She asks Mikoto if she knows about the saying of the peach and the plums, and tells her that "Peaches and plums cannot speak, but they will form a path leading to them". Mitsuko says that she still doesn't understand what that truly means yet, but says that her fondness for Mikoto's character is what led her to think about others.[22]

Mikoto says that she is not that great of a person, to which Mitsuko says that it what for people around her to decide. Mitsuko contrasts her situation with Mikoto, saying that she tried to show off how wonderful she is and yet no one recognized it leading to her being alone. Mikoto says that it isn't true at least to her or even Kinuho and Maaya. Hearing this makes Mitsuko happy, and asks Mikoto what she should do as she should feel terrible but says that she feels happy. As Mikoto leaves as the visiting hours have ended, Mitsuko says that she is glad to have transferred to Tokiwadai Middle School.[22] Mitsuko later makes a recovery later, allowing her to participate with Mikoto again for the Daihaseisai.[22]

Abilities

File:Aero hand 1.jpg

Aero hand's delayed effect

Her ability is Aero Hand (空力使い (エアロハンド) Kūryoku Tsukai (Earo Hando)?, lit. "Vacuum User"), which was shown during the final episode of the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun anime, when Mitsuko touches an object a powerful gust of wind will form in the area where Mitsuko touched it allowing the object to be propelled, the object may in turn be considered a projectile. When making ejection points, Mitsuko can determine when they can "activate".[14] She can create and simultaneously activate a maximum of 8,092 ejection points.[14]

It was later shown that Mitsuko doesn't need objects to propel, as she can use her powers on the ground to create ejection points of air to create powerful gusts of wind. Her ability is powerful enough to propel an entire satellite dish along with its tower, as well as an entire wall. [20]

Trivia

  • Episode 13 of the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun anime introduced Ekaterina, Kongou Mitsuko's female Boa constrictor. While Mitsuko was in her red swimsuit, she wore Ekaterina as a sort of feather boa replacement. This may be a reference to the pirate empress Boa Hancock of One Piece fame, as she and Mitsuko share similar features.
  • In the manga of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, during the Daihasei Festival Arc, Kongou was the only one to notice that the girl (one of Misaka's clones) taking Misaka's place in the paper balloon event was not actually her. 
  • In the anime adaptation of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, her being the first victim of an incident is a recurring event.
