====Silent Party Arc====
{{Main/Silent Party Arc}}
Despite being completely absent for nearly the entirety of the anime, Aomi makes a sudden appearance for the climax of the Silent Party Arc, finally confirming that she remains a member of Judgment in the anime. Here, she first gets a call from Mii who asks her what she thinks of Academy City.<ref name=RailgunSEp23>{{Qal|Railgun2|E|23}}</ref> It is here that is likely that Mii asks Aomi the favor of asking [[Judgment]] to participate against the [[Silent Party]] and protect the [[Academy City Research Exhibition Assembly]] venue from STUDY. She somehow has the authority or seniority to do this, and she later rallies a countless number of them just after the break of dawn. She later participates in the battle, preventing the [[Powered Suit]]{{TrackTag53|s}}s to enter the venue and delaying them until Mikoto finds a way to stop STUDY completely. She acts as the field leader during the battle, sending out commands. When STUDY later hacks into their communications and [[Edasaki Banri]] and other [[Telepathy|telepaths]] volunteer to create a communication network for Judgment using telepathy, Aomi apologizes for the bother but Banri says she doesn't mind.<ref name=RailgunSEp24>{{Qal|Railgun2|E|24}}</ref>
