「蓮の杖 (ロータスワンド)」 (Hasu no Tsue (Rōtasu Wando))
“Lotus Wand”
And so we finally arrive at the finale of this arc, and what finale it was. While it felt, and was, a bit rushed, it’s easy to turn a blind eye to the pacing with the sheer amount of win in this episode.

「王の柱」 (Ō no Hashira)
“The King’s Pillar”
Despite what the preview showed last week, I was half-expecting this episode to end up in Zero Time again, with Sugata in the pilot seat being the only difference. Going into the episode with those mixed feelings, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised that that was not the case. Instead, we were given some nice action scenes outside of Zero Time, something we haven’t seen since the little scuffle between Takuto and George in episode 1.

「魔滅の声(シェオールフィア)」 (Mametsu no Koe (Sheōru Fia))
“Voice of the Demon Killer (Sheol Fear)”
And so Agnese finally shows her true colors; a deranged loli with a superiority complex who loves beating up helpless blondes.

「 天才少女の暴走パニック！」 (Tensai Shōjo no Hōsō Panikku!)
“The Genius Girl’s Wild Panic!”
This was definitely the craziest episode yet, which is certainly saying something. Going from power level radars to super sayain transformations, this episode was a complete throw back to Dragon Ball Z and an… interesting parody of it.

「御坂さんはいま注目の的ですから」 (Misaka-san wa Ima Chūmoku no Mato desukara)
“Since Misaka-san is the Center of Attention Right Now…”
Just seven months after the end of the first season of Railgun, we’re presented with another dose of the more light hearted side of the Index world.

「マンドラゴラの花言葉」 (Mandoragora no Hanakotoba)
“The Meaning of Mandrake”
And just when I thought we had broken the formula.

「綺羅星十字団の挑戦」 (Kiraboshi Jūjidan no Chōsen)
“The Challenge of the Holy Order of Glittering Stars”
Well, this certainly was a fairly risqué episode, with the formal introduction of Watanabe Kanako (Niina Ayano) bringing with it plenty of sex appeal to the series.

「天草式」 (Amakusa-shiki)
“The Amakusa Style”
Whew, very fast pacing this episode, a bit rare for Index. Then again, season 2 has felt far faster (and better) paced than season 1, where nearly ten minutes of an episode was dedicated to Touma on the phone once.

「そんなこんなでカップルバカップル」 (Sonna Konna de Kapparu Bakappuru)
“With This and That, The (Stupid) Couple”
And just when I was beginning to wonder where the Mio loving was, we get hit with this date episode centered around Mio.

「法の書」 (Hō no Sho)
“The Book of the Law”
With this episode arrives the true beginning of Index II, covering more or less the first 169 pages of volume 7 of the light novels.
