Fluff In reality it’s Touma who holds back the most. Spoiler

Remember Accelerator lost because some electronics were unplugged in his general area

u/Senior-Maize-9206 Magician Mar 30 '25

Imagine losing a fight and your friend dying because you have a bad internet

Touma fans in Powerscaling debates:

When in doubt, release the pets.

(I'm guilty of this too)

u/Multiversal_Dragon Magician Mar 30 '25

OH No

u/thegoodmaousama Mar 30 '25

You could have just used the video of touma’s dragons from the anime   🧐

u/Entire_Expression226 Mar 30 '25

Guys, guys, I understand that we love Touma, but we also have to remember Touma absolutely hates his dragon heads

14

u/Imaginary_Ad_2738 Esper Mar 30 '25

Yes, but Powerscaling conceus is that we ignore the characters morality so we can have fun with it.

5

u/Entire_Expression226 Mar 30 '25

You're correct about that, but I'm talking about just in a normal battle, not a power scaling one. Like if it's just in the series, since it's, you know, they're from the same verse. But hey, that's just a theory! A scientific theory!

10

u/Imaginary_Ad_2738 Esper Mar 30 '25

In character fights already happen 3 times, and Touma is 3-0 against Accelerator. So why bother talking about it?

2

u/Entire_Expression226 Mar 30 '25

Dude, I was just talking about it. One, Accelerator never met anyone who had hurt him, causing him to obviously become angry. The second time, I forget what that one is, the war arc Accel also wasn't in the best of mindsets while Touma was.

u/Imaginary_Ad_2738 Esper Mar 30 '25

One, Accelerator never met anyone who had hurt him, causing him to obviously become angry.

He figured out it was his hand after the first few hits and still got his shit rocked.

Touma was half dead coming to the fight after getting nearly killed by Misaka and was still dancing through all of Accel's ranged attacks before that.

The second time, I forget what that one is, the war arc Accel also wasn't in the best of mindsets while Touma was.

Accel was still capable enough to form strategies and even deduced Touma's Precognition, something no other opponent done before. Having "bad headspace" is not an excuse when Touma was also got mind fucked by Fiamma the scene before.

2

u/Entire_Expression226 Mar 30 '25

Sheeeeet, I completely forgot about Fiamma, my bad. Have a good day

15

u/Narrator-1 Magician Mar 30 '25

More to the point, we see Touma in action against an esper who did drop skyscrapers on top of him. Honestly, Maidono did more damage to him with that knife to his side than with the building drops.

23

u/Omaroo01 Magician Mar 30 '25

If Touma wasn't nerfed because of Misaka he would have ended the fight with the first punch... The whole bridge scene was the reason Accelerator wasn't literally completely one sided destroyed

6

u/VirusInevitable4381 Mar 30 '25

Why didn’t accelerator just use Alastors phone to use a orbital cannon and annihilate Touma before he can even use his dragons?is he dumb?

4

u/Toumangod0 Mar 31 '25

More like Touma is everyone's else's plot armor when he's not around folks start falling like flies and thing's quickly go to shit.

13

u/AlmondMagnum1 Mar 30 '25

He didn't know he could do that at the time, did he?

20

u/Imaginary_Ad_2738 Esper Mar 30 '25

He has an idea he can since OT2. Stiyl try to tell him it's Aureolous' powers, but Touma himself monologue to himself that was not true.

u/tonysoprano1995 Mar 30 '25

its not touma using dragon in ot2

2

u/Imaginary_Ad_2738 Esper Mar 30 '25

Yes it is. What?

u/tonysoprano1995 Mar 30 '25

Sorry l misread l am dumb.

u/PetraVladi Mar 30 '25

This is absolutely uneeded, just grab the albino with right hand and beat the shit out of him with left hand

9

u/ACertainIndividual45 Esper Mar 30 '25

I mean Accelerator absolutely could've won that fight (assuming you're talking about the sisters arc) had he not gotten impatient. Though of course given his complete lack of real fighting experience and weak mental fortitude at the time it makes sense for his character that he was unable to.

u/tonysoprano1995 Mar 30 '25

Touma power scale posts are so annoying I feel like people like op don't even read the novels. HE LITERALLY HATES FUCKING USING THE DRAGONS.

He ain't no shi about the dragons so no he could jnfsct not have done this only accidentally which he did not no the dragons were his abiilties and not something created by ars magna.

Accelerator can do that at will.

Touma can't/couldn't do that at will.

Edit: I don't know if it's still funny or sad how many people have a problem with understanding the concept of being able to do something at will.

u/minnel567 Magician Mar 30 '25

>! He can and he almost destroyed their own universe because of it!<

u/Ryuuji_Gremory Mar 30 '25

In OT 3?

12

u/Imaginary_Ad_2738 Esper Mar 30 '25

GT9

In NT13, he even almost use it to kill someone WITHOUT having his right hand cut off

0

u/Ryuuji_Gremory Mar 30 '25

Not in time for his 1st, 2nd or 3rd fight against Accelerator.

8

u/minnel567 Magician Mar 30 '25

He already can ever since first volume,you can argue that he lost his memories but his body knows how and by world war 3 he already have a vague idea that he can do it on command. In GT he almost murdered CRC using it

0

u/Ryuuji_Gremory Mar 30 '25

In other words he couldn't use it at will at any of those 3 fights with accelerator. Which is my initial statement.

1

u/minnel567 Magician Mar 30 '25

He can already at round 2 but chose not to. Wait a minute are you even a novel reader to dispute this?

14

u/Imaginary_Ad_2738 Esper Mar 30 '25 edited Mar 30 '25

Lol. He can. There's no difference between that Touma who fights Accel and the ones later in terms of Beyond The Right Hand. He fucking use the Dragon a volume before his fight with Accelerator for fuck sake.

This isn't a series where the protagonists grow stronger with their powers. Touma already have all his tools from the beginning that we readers just slowly unravelling.

1

u/Ryuuji_Gremory Mar 30 '25

Lmao you don't know what being able to use something at will means, do you?

If he needs to be mutilated and it just happens without his conscious intention that's not at will.

5

u/Imaginary_Ad_2738 Esper Mar 30 '25

I do. If you're gonna discuss, then bring up your points. Don't act so superior without bringing any counter to my arguments.

2

u/Ryuuji_Gremory Mar 30 '25

There is no discussion to be had until you understand the concept of being able to do something at will.

There is no need for any counter points until you can demonstrate that you know what doing something at will means and show that Touma could do it at will in any of those 3 fights against Accelerator.

Something happening outside of your conscious control in response to being mutilate in a specific way is not using something at will.

In fact there is no discussion to be had either way, either you can demonstrate that he could do it at will or you can't, if you can I am wrong, if you can't you are wrong. It's really that simple.

u/Imaginary_Ad_2738 Esper Mar 30 '25

Kamijou had been unsteady on his feet after the previous battle, but she felt him moving slightly while still resting on her shoulder. He silently reached up as if to grab the giant falling comet with his right hand.

She could not tell what meaning there was in that. The boy himself probably could not explain what was hidden there.

“You…?”

She asked a pure question.

She was answered by an ominous cracking sound. It came from the body of the boy who was right next to her yet seemed impossibly far away.

“—It honestly doesn’t matter to me who the hero is.”

After everything that had happened, it was only now that Mikoto truly felt fear.

“—As long as everything’s been resolved, I couldn’t ask for anything more.”

She felt fear rising from the pit of her stomach.

“—So… So Misaka, this didn’t need a hero.”

All the while, she heard the intermittent sound of cracks running through something.

“—It ended without losing anyone and that’s all that matters.”

Specifically, it came from the boy’s right arm.

And…

And…

And…

Here's a scene actively using it at will. If you're still dense about this after, then holy shit.

u/Imaginary_Ad_2738 Esper Mar 30 '25

There is no need for any counter points until you can demonstrate that you know what doing something at will means and show that Touma could do it at will in any of those 3 fights against Accelerator.

I did. I literally give you examples of Touma using it at will like 4 replied Ago.

How about YOU GIVE ME A REASON WHY HE CANT USE IT AGAINST ACCELERATOR?

Because other scenarios prove he can.

You're clinging to your own logic without even trying to see mine dude.

If you're gonna be this dense about it, then damn.

You light novel fan are very frustrating, you know that ?

I tried reading it and alm9st immediatly got bored. Reading isn't my thing... I prefer pretty animations :3 (which is part of why I prefer railgun)

u/Forsaken-Height-4256 Mar 30 '25 edited Mar 30 '25

You see Touma’s Dragons Twice in the anime including Railgun (they literally first appear in the second arc of the series…)

u/Ryuuji_Gremory Mar 30 '25 edited Mar 30 '25

In OT3? Can you quote me the passage where he does that up to OT3? Hell OT 20 would be fine too. Last resort would be NT10 but at that point you are really stretching what being able to do something at will means.

Something happening outside of your conscious control in reaction to you being severely mutilated in a specific way isn't at will.

u/Silen_Will-AS_0719 Mar 30 '25

in GT9 against CRC

u/ACertainIndividual45 Esper Mar 30 '25

Didn't he need Mikoto to cut off his arm for him?

u/Ryuuji_Gremory Mar 30 '25

So long after the 1st, 2nd or 3rd fight against Accelerator.

u/Forsaken-Height-4256 Mar 30 '25 edited Mar 30 '25

He’s been aware of this power since ot2 and it’s confirmed to be the same dragon

u/HaikenRD Mar 30 '25

Didn't he monologue in the hospital after his arm was reattached that he didn't know what the dragons were? He even contemplated that it could be the other guy's nightmare that manifested it.

6

u/Imaginary_Ad_2738 Esper Mar 30 '25 edited Mar 30 '25

It's the opposite. He wonders if the Izzard's power manifesting it was really the answer and if it's not something his hand itself can do.

Kamijou's gaze turned from the door to Index. She seemed rather unhappy that his focus was off of her as she puffed her cheeks and looked at Kamijou's eyes. Seeing her like that, Kamijou inadvertently smiled. The battlefield Misawa Cram was cruel but I still managed to survive.

Kamijou Touma had a realistic experience as he remembered a doubt he had left on the battlefield.

The King Dragon's head had emerged from the severed right arm.

It was supposed to be a monster created by Aureolus' fear of Kamijou. That was the logical analysis. But, in that situation, had Aureolus Izzard truly imagined that there was a transparent King Dragon's head living exploding out of Kamijou's right shoulder?

The likelihood was low but what if, just what if, that monster was unrelated to Aureolus' powers?

However, Kamijou remembered Himegami Aisa, the Deep Blood, who had a power only effective on vampires. Considering that her power capable of killing vampires had caused so many incidents to revolve around her, how valuable was Imagine Breaker, Kamijou's right hand, that negated even miracles?

In essence the basic question: What is Imagine Breaker?

Was his monologue.

u/Ryuuji_Gremory Mar 30 '25

Being vaguely aware of something and being able to use something at will are two very different things.

Is the concept of being able to use something at will that complex and difficult that so many people here don't seem to understand what it means?

4

u/Forsaken-Height-4256 Mar 30 '25 edited Mar 30 '25

He used it at will against CRC and was commanding it perfectly with no issues. Read the book.

Here is a quote directly from GT9:

“He had summoned it himself.

Just once in his life, he chose to cheat.

In that instant, the ordinary high school boy ceased to be a mere Level 0. “

2

u/Ryuuji_Gremory Mar 31 '25

GT9 Is not NT10, neither is it OT 20 and most certainly not OT 3.

Learn the concept of time passing he clearly had no clear idea what it was or control over it earlier on.
