I think it would be fair to mention 10032. While not being unique as a clone, she's arguably the one clone we know the best with how often she appears in the story
The will of the Network is my favorite unique Misaka shown here. The idea of such a thought entity acting behind the scenes in the interest of the Misaka Network as a whole is really neat. I think an argument could be made that she makes the Misaka Network one of the strongest factions in Toaru with her appearance in NT9 and the existence of the Clonoth. Misaka 10046 and Misaka 10777 are my favorite numbered Misakas. It would be cool to get a rundown on all of them in one video sometime.
@@AeonofHorus There’s only 20000 of them. You got this! lmao What I really meant as a suggestion was to cover all of the numbered Misakas that get a specific arc in the show or light novel. 10777 in Russia with Mikoto, or 10046 with Accelerator for example.
My favourite Tin Foil Hat Theory is that the real Misaka Mikoto died some point before the start of the series and the "Misaka Mikoto" we know and love is actually Full Tuning a perfectly tuned replacement to cover up the death of the original Misaka. She would in essence be a perfect clone of the original, memories, esper ability and all who were so perfectly copied that she doesn't even realise she is a clone that was "Fully Tuned" to match the specifications of the original Misaka Mikoto.
My head canon on why the Misaka clones exists is cause the author has a Misaka fetish and thus find creative ways to include them in almost all his stories and spinoff. I hope we get to see more of Dolly (love her long hair) in the Mental Out manga in the future.
@@Jay9966 actually Komachi only cared about the clones of Misaka themselves Railgun was meant to disappear after WW3 arc and wasn't supposed to be included in the story at all however she became so popular that he decided to include her in the later narrative explaining why she attached to Shokuhou to the hip.
Now this video was a wealth of knowledge. I had some working understanding of each particular type of clone but this completely blew the doors off what I knew as a whole. With every single breakdown I found I was fairly in the dark about what I previously felt was a solid grasp. This was so well done I completely lost track of time and found by the time the video was over I found myself thinking but I just started it lol. I must even sheepishly admit I had no knowledge that Misaka worst had implants to keep Last Order from controlling her... Last Order is of course my favorite as part of the dynamic duo with our main man Accel. Also, the Will saving Touma is still one of the biggest gut wrenching moments I will never forget. Now I can confidently say I have a much stronger grasp on all the clones and the personalities. Great video once again!
Only Kamachi can take one character and duplicate them into multiple uniquely interesting characters while also tying that mechanism into the central plot and the characterization of a bunch of other unrelated characters. MISAKA SIMPS UNITE
12:06 I thought it was because they used a testament to make the clones be as stoic as possible. Pretty much modding their personality to be whatever they want.
Hey Aeon and everyone. This video was informative and a bit confusing, since I have not read far into the series. However, I am really looking forward to seeing and reading more volumes. I love the characters in this series so much. I remember thinking that Accelerator seemed to be really lonely and looking for friends and family because he would always stop and talk to the clones. He didn't really want to fight with them. I think that he gets sick and tired of people only coming over to, not talk, but to fight him. I think that Touma offers a neat opportunity for him to see a different relationship.
ru-vid.com/group/PLd7GDD241FAVVDDuRtDLQoa8PsvG6gW2F&si=ovm8UUWO5wa6TYui Hey Aeon. I didn't know if you have seen this yet, but this link has a playlist of all of the Index light novels including the GT volumes, the short stories, and the ITEM light novels. It's been really useful.
9:50 don’t forget the part where it’s revealed her safety device was also made to finish her off regardless if he knocked her out or not. Leading him to kill a clone regardless what he does, and making him go more coco.
Okay I stopped before Misaka Will because she is the main reason for me to start reading the Light Novel, I want to avoid some spoils x) That was really interesting !!! I learned a lot and I KNEW IT ABOUT DOLLY !! Man this scene with Dolly, Misaki and Mitori accompagned by a song of sajou no hana, it's my favorite moment of the anime (with Mikoto on violon). Just thinking of those things make me SO happy, I'm smiling like an idiot right now. Thanks for this video
It's possible that Full Tuning might appear in a later Arc of Railgun, like how the Number Six is appearing in ITEM manga. And seeing how she's a Sister, she's more connected to Mikoto than to be with Touma in Index. It's currently unknown (as far as I know) how long the Railgun Manga will last for, since I believe their current arc is one of Misaka First Year so they might be reaching the stopping point and Full Tuning Misaka could be the possible Final Arc. But I don't know anything, and shouting BS theories out there
I think full tune is physical the youngest Misaka. Amu was involved from the start so tune could be the first clone made likely without the accelerated ageing. Also it likely that level 6 shift was possible the gen 2 clones being level 2 -3 to indicate their growth from the fights in level 6 shift we know that Alistair planned for it to fail between 12000 to 13000 killed sisters which could be from when the gen 2 sisters would hit level 4 ( gen 3 would then be level 5's) Accelerator likely got little from his year of fighting the sisters ( we know it been only around a year as Accel reconisged Misaka 1 as oneof the level 5's and Misaka had only been a level 5 since she become one in april of her first year in middle school) in terms of his ability mostly just training up the sisters
Ok crack theory time. What if Full Tuning is the Misaka Mikoto we've been following all this time, with the real Misaka being hidden and stored somewhere secret? This is just speculation but what if the Full Tuning name meant that this specific clone, presumably the first, was an attempt to have a truly complete clone of Misaka. As in, they give her all her memories, her powers, and personality. However it was stated that the clones could only reach level 3 right? What if, in an attempt to bypass this limitation, they straight up just replaced Misaka hoping that the resources dedicated to Misaka's esper power development would net a level 5 clone? After all, they have the same DNA, if the process works for one, then it would work for another. Problem with this theory is the timeline so I don't expect it to be true, but its fun to think of it nonetheless.
Over 10,000 clones of the same person, and yet they are all better versions of the original even the one that’s supposed to be the “worst” 😅. JK, Misaka is also amazing as well
22:47 Why I am thinking since Full tuming one left the network..she is hiding cuase she is misaka herself... Almost complete persona.of Real Miskaa mikoto
8:15 I thought it was because they inputted some of Accelerator’s calculations into her. Like what they did with Kinuhata and Umidori. Pretty much using two level 5s to make one clone.
Nah, she would be in dark may if true. Plus, how would he be able to convince Worst that learning his fighting patterns would make her more valuable if she already has his thought patterns?
Perhaps as an honorable mention, one could mention Misaka 19090, whose personality was different from the rest of the series due to interference from Nunotaba. As Full Tuning, maybe she's been modified in some way so as to network directly with Misaka Mikoto herself without her actually realizing?
Its so weird that the premise of this god forsaken series is to make Accelerator out to be this misunderstood good guy. Dude is awful. How is someone who is effectively a master of Vector algebra dumb enough to believe killing clones would level him up
The premise of star wars is the redemption of darth vader who killed innocent kids and yet everyone praises this theme of it. Accelerator was manipulated as a kid to believe the clones weren't human, and had a psychopath as his parental figure (Kihara Amata) with no loving family. Accelerator actually jailed himself in the current novels, and admitted his crimes to the world. He is aware that he cannot be fully redeemed but still wants to change Academy City so that the Sisters Project will never happen again. Because one of the core themes of Index is that older authority figures can use their positions of power to do terrible things, whether thats the scientists of Academy City or Laura in the Anglican Church. So what is he's got superhuman processing powers in his brain? Being smart doesn't make you wise. Plenty of 'smart' students who go to university often make pretty bad decisions and are easily influenced. Now imagine a 14 year old boy with no where else to turn.
@@AeonofHorus Anakin was tricked to but it made sense to a degree in that he was pushed away by the Jedi. The manipulation is silly but at least it was established that the dark side of the force is designed to eat at insecurities and weaken you. Unless its explained or shown that Accelerator was given data to convince him this will work he was literally told: "Kill children. Gain power. Also they aren't real people. Go nuts" Fuck off. Wisdom is not what I'm describing. All humans possess - some examples non withstanding - inherent self determinate morality and as they get older that morality becomes stronger. 14 is old enough to realize that snuffing out over 10000 lives isn't a good thing. Accelerator is an asshole that by anime logic isn't dead. But our name is Aeon of Horus so nothing gets your harder than praising your pasty anemic psychopathic anti-hero
Well I suppose he's a mathematical wiz with a reasonable understanding of biomechanics and not an expert in the causal mechanisms of esper powers. He knew just not enough and wanted something being promised enough that he was able to be manipulated into doing something he normally wouldn't do with the understanding that something about it didn't quite add up but not enough to fully deter the behavior. It seems to me this happens to people all of the time at various scale so I don't find it particularly unbelievable. I also think you're understating the degree to which people will violate their own moral standards, give rationalizations and excuses, in service of their interests. You're never going to convince me that there isn't something inconsistent or double standard like or even psychopathic about every person on this planet, including you.
@@newtakn156 A better statement I could have made was "the number of aged up clones is higher than my desired number of 0" but... honestly close enough
10:29 crazy how casually ww3 is dropped here, i watched the anime and know that it happened but like its like ww3 is just another monday in this universe
