Index: "What is this? Agathions?" This section may require cleanup to meet Toaru Majutsu no Index Wiki's quality standards. Reword Mökkurkalfe copy-pasting from OT18Ch6Pt7 |
- The basis of the Knight Leader's defensive spell comes from the Icelandic Saga of Gunnlaugr Serpent-Tongue, where the eponymous Gunnlaugr duels a berserk named Thororm, whose eyes are able to dull any weapon they see. Gunnlaugr defeats him by killing him with another sword than the one he showed him before the battle began.[1]
- Mökkurkalfe is a prefabricated giant made out of clay from Norse mythology, created to fight against Thor, the God of thunder, and the strongest God in Norse mythology.[2]
Differences in Adaptation[]
- In the novel, Touma considers Carissa's attack as another exception of Imagine Breaker because he couldn't completely negate it. This reminds him his memory loss and his lack of knowledge about Imagine Breaker, but also the "Dragon Breath" from the Deep Blood Arc that he couldn't explain.[3]
Animation Trivia[]
- The Knight Leader's Thororm-based defensive spell is visually represented by attacks dissipating into green zeroes.
