The CRUELEST world out of BILLIONS of deaths. #acertainmagicalindex #toaru #anime #isekai #rezero

[Balloushop]

Dang I stepped away from Toaru for one second to take a break and let the author cook, and you’re telling me he made a whole buffet table?
It’s time to eat!

A duality of the character wanting to save others but when there’s no saving needed it hurts him the most the purpose he strives for is far away but he must accept it to live and prosper

[joshuamacdonald]

“This is a world where nobody suffers. Guess I’ll go off myself to maintain the balance. …Wait a second, if this is a world where no one suffers, why am *I* suffering?”

[dkify]

To add onto what he said. The touma we see after the first volume isnt the original touma who saves index but the one whose memories were erased and doesnt know anyone but pretends to be the original. At some points early in the story he hears bits about the original and imagines him to be this hero character and emulates that. So when he says hes lived his whole life doing it, you can take it literally for this touma because its literally all that he has lived so far.

[craytherlaygaming]

This becomes even more painful and tragic once you realize that again, like every other hell. Omega world is based on Othinus's own experiences and highly implied to be how she views Touma's world. A world she doesn't belong, a world she doesn't exist in, a world that doesn't remember her.

*A world that would be happy if she died*

[obrians-brown]

Rough seeing him doing the Kratos dive

[FaizalKuntz]

The biribiri girl assist was very crucial

[ruwibiduya]

Subaru dies hundreds of times: ❌
Touma dies billions of times: ✅

[toumakamijou]

Bruh is speed running Toaru, then he would next discuss the Coronzon arc until he discusses GT9

[Lazy_Reader]

I read Nt9 & Nt10 many times just for this🔥🔥

[code_Rei]

damn whats going on I thought this was about the dude's right hand

[derekl.]

Another thing is that kanijou touma despite always describing himself or being described as “ an ordinary highschool boy” is probably one of the least sane characters in the series. Bro had some deeeep mental trauma that keeps him from ever loving himself or getting truly close to people. He’s extremely similar to Shirou Emiya in that manner

"It bothers me!

Of course it bothers me.

Of course it bothers me!! What was I doing all that time?

I didn’t want some huge sum of money and I didn’t want to make my own kingdom with a ridiculous amount of power.

I just wanted to wake up in my dorm, make food for Index, go to school, and hang out with my friends after school.

I just wanted that normal life back.

So why do I have to be treated like an absolute evil!?

That’s ridiculous.

Othinus saved every last one of the six billion people on earth to make me suffer.

There’s something seriously wrong with her sense of scale!

Why the hell do I have to go through all this?

What was I calling misfortune!?

I had always managed to slip past all that and used every trick I had to reach a compromise.

I had managed to strike a nice balance!

But she destroyed it all.

Of course it bothers me!

Even if it’s meaningless and no one else cares who it is as long as they’re saved, it still bothers me!!

I coughed up blood and shed tears to somehow make my way along that path, but Othinus easily did it like it was just a game!

She stole everything from me!!

She stole everything I had – even the path I walked down – and she did it so skillfully that I feel stupid complaining about it!! What the hell was that?

If she could do that, why didn’t she save everyone in the first place!?

If that was an option, why didn’t she use it more seriously!?

And I doubt it will even last that long. Once Othinus gets bored, she’ll just destroy this world too.

If you can easily create something, you have no problem with destroying it.

But I can’t create anything better than this.

It doesn’t matter what complaints I make when she can give everyone a smile with a wave of that lance.

And this isn’t someone else deciding that it doesn’t matter.

It’s me! Me!!

She showed me it doesn’t matter if I oppose her!!

It’s all a deception created to corner me, but it doesn’t matter to me if it’s all fake!!

It’s almost like a game to her, but the smiles she’s given Index and the others are something I could never give them even after a century of hard work.

I couldn’t do it without inventing a time machine, but she did it without even trying.

Am I supposed to stand up to that!?

Why did someone like her have to appear in front of me!?

If she was going to do this, couldn’t she do it on the other side of the planet?

No, why couldn’t she create this paradise on the moon or Mars and be happy there!?

She could leave all the people here alone and create a new human race on a desert planet she made livable!! …

...I don’t want to fight anymore.

I don’t want to oppose a monster like that.

I was never fighting because I wanted to.

It’s just that I always saw someone holding back tears in some horribly painful situation.

Even if they cried and cried, no one would have complained, but they put up with it anyway. …

...And I couldn’t allow it to go on. I clenched my fist like an idiot, charged in, and somehow resolved the incident. I didn’t do it to be thanked.

I didn’t do it because I wanted anything in return. But overcoming those things increased the number of people around me.

I began to think those connections with people had some kind of meaning!! And this is where it got me.

I had everything taken from me.

As you said, someone might rush over for my sake if they knew.

They might cast everything aside and join me even if it meant making an enemy of this entire world run by Othinus.

But!

That doesn’t matter!!

It never mattered.

That tiny illusion is not worth abandoning this miraculous situation where lost lives have returned.

I wanted to have fun with everyone some more.

I never bothered to realize how comfortable my position was.

If nothing had happened yet and Othinus suggested bringing back all those lost lives, I would probably have rejected it based on some random ideal or another.

I would say their deaths had meaning or that you can’t toy with people’s lives so easily! But she’s already done it.

To ‘return things to normal’ now would be no different from killing those unknowing and smiling people with my own hand!!

No matter how many excuses you make, that fact does not change. A decision that I make would kill every last one of them!!

There’s…there’s nothing I can do.

What good is it to take away this world without crime, debt, or broken hearts!? Even if I defeated Othinus, returned everything to normal, and justly slaughtered everyone who shouldn’t be alive, would I really return to the world I picture in my head?

How would I ever face the people who are living their normal lives, ignorant of what had happened?

Could I really just smile?

Could I really smile like an ignorant fool when I really knew the truth!! Like hell I could!! Nothing would remain for me either way.

Whether I defeat Othinus or not and whether I live or die, I can’t return to ‘normal’!!

No matter what happens and no matter how this ends, there is no way for me to succeed.

Even if I don’t ‘fail’ in whatever I choose to do, I will still have complaints and it will all fall apart in the end.

In that case, there’s no reason to fight!! Why should I destroy this miraculous situation!?

If every path leads to destruction, why not just accept Othinus’s victory?

Why not let the number of people saved decide it!?

Who saved more people, me or Othinus?

The answer is obviously Othinus!!

I knew from the beginning I couldn’t hold a candle to what she did!!

What else can I do?

After…after everything she’s done, there’s nowhere left for me to



Peak Fiction... And Yes, I memorize it.

[gavinoesparza]

Why does Subaru and other characters like him like this guy have like universal multidimensional haters like damn what do you do make them so mad?

[AmethKonyak-vhnh]

Wtf the last few sec of MY R song with the ending of this vudeo match lol😂

[Kofhiliphus]

Just like that, touma allowed me to finally answer my questions with the dilemma of Emiya and Paul atreides.

Although Emiya is self-justfiably imposed his ideals while Paul "sees" everything at once.

Touma managed to peer through every reality while still keeping up the ideals of a self-imposed justice man, and yet in that chapter, it was challenged that it didn't matter if it was him or other people.

The "hero" of the story could be anybody, not just him. But at the same time, nobody was there to be that "hero" he was just there fitting the requirement at that moment.

It was at that chapter that Touma broke and yet persisted. He feels powerless but has no choice but to continue for the sake of the world and his "justice."


Overall, if heroes save the civilians, then who will save the "hero"?

[DrWarman]

Oh shit the one that stops his is a Railgun Misaka sister. Love those girls. And it might one of the cheeky ones that threw herself at him multiple times.

[cain]

I guess the will of misaka is perfect foreshadowing of the level where Accelerator will reach in future.

[shaunttorosian]

You're goddamn right it's peak fiction!

[iammask]

I really want them to make the next season of the anime!
