Major Events[]

  • As Accelerator and Esther Rosenthal face the two DA members, the Huotou placed into Hitokawa Hasami's body activates and takes action to eliminate the threat to its master, breaking the enemy's weapon.

  • DA backer and board member Nakimoto Rizou decides the group is becoming a liability and dispatches Scavenger to purge them. Previously concealed information on DA also becomes accessible to Anti-Skill.
  • Having secretly advised Nakimoto, Hishigata Mikihiko asks the other DA members for the captured Sister, claiming it is for the sake of their 'justice' and intending to use her for his own purposes.
  • After having his wound fixed by Heaven Canceller, Accelerator learns that a Sister has been abducted and that Esther has gone after them, and receives information from Yoshikawa Kikyou on DA.

Referbacks[]

  • Accelerator trying to use a person's biolectricity and blood flow on the DA member is a callback to the way he killed Misaka 10031.[1]
  • When his wound reopens as a result of his actions, Accelerator again recalls the moment when he was shot in the head by Amai Ao.[2]

Cultural References[]

  • Huotou calls Esther "Adonai", which means "master" or "lord" in Hebrew. Traditionally it is used to refer to God in prayer in place of His name in reverence for the holiness of His name.
  • More codenames derived from breeds of hound and used by members of DA are shown, specifically Irish Wolfhound, Pharaoh Hound, Whippet and Saluki.

Differences in Adaptation[]

  • Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari's cameo is expanded, recreating the scene where they are first introduced in episode 1 of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun.
  • Hishigata's conversation with Nakimoto Rizou didn't occur in the manga.[3]
  • When the Scavengers are woken, they are wearing a combination of a leotard and thigh-high socks instead of straightjackets.[3]
