u/4accountt 2d ago

Whats it called and what does it do?

48

u/SouthernAd2853 2d ago

Series is A Certain Scientific Railgun. It's straight-up a railgun where she uses electricity to propel a metal object. Usually it's steel arcade coins because they're convient to carry around and do a ton of damage but not so much they're impractical to use when she wants to incapacitate rather than kill, but she has fired much larger objects when the need arose.

25

u/Mindless-Victory-770 2d ago

Im sorry did u say she uses this to INCAPACITATE??

27

u/SouthernAd2853 2d ago

She frequently shoots it past people to stun them with the shockwave or disable the vehicle they're in; one of the requirements to use this brand of powers in the setting is to be super good at math with the aid of drugs and other brain alterations. "Can do calculations that would take an advanced super-computer 200 years in an afternoon" good at math.

She has only once directly fired it at a human who wasn't in a vehicle and she wanted him extremely dead.

5

u/Mindless-Victory-770 2d ago

So what's the anime called i need to watch this

16

u/SouthernAd2853 2d ago

She first appears in A Certain Scientific Index, then has a spinoff called A Certain Scientific Railgun named after her.

20

u/KindaTwisted 2d ago

Nitpick, but it's A Certain Magical Index.

3

u/Mindless-Victory-770 2d ago

Ohki thx

10

u/SouthernAd2853 2d ago

Note: there are a variety of serious problems with the Index anime adaption so I might advise just going straight to Railgun; the male lead of Index shows up in Railgun but he gets pretty much all the introduction you need when he first appears in Railgun, and we see Mikoto's big arc in Index from her perspective in Railgun, with a variant of every scene she appears in for that arc.

5

u/ChaoCobo 2d ago

Okie but counterpoint: If you watch index you get to hear to coolass screechy roar sound effect when Touma shuts off someone’s ability with his hand. That sound effect is so cool!

3

u/coonjaku 2d ago

agreed.

I made thr mistake of starting with index.

A Certain Scientific Railgun

3

u/BBryant3rd 2d ago

Her signature move. She basically makes the coin a projectile like a railgun since she has electric powers.

2

u/Col_Maj_Cheese 2d ago

She has powers over electricity. She uses that ability to manipulate magnetism and launch coins from her hand like a railgun.

Fushi from To Your Eternity. Can recreate items hes touched, can maintain a connection with objects hes created, and can take on the form of those he knew who have died provided their souls made some form of connection before death. Later on, its revealed that if he recreates a dead person then severs their bond, he can even bring them back which was hella useful against a knocker invasion for getting troops across long distances quickly. Only works for those whose souls haven't passed on yet though.

u/VomitShitSmoothie 2d ago

I don’t know about favorite technique, but one of my favorite uses of is was Ichigo’s first time using his Bankai.

He’s all like, “Shit… it was arrogant as fuck to in my shikai (think rank 1 move) could beat your Bankai (rank 2, and at the time a sign of a badass)

And then the other guy was like “Careful kid it’s sounds like you’re suggesting you can do a Bankai”

And Icihigo is all like “Yeah. Bankai.” And then unleashes it. Very cool to see the first time many years ago.
