| My favorite part : NT9 said: She stabbed him with the lance. She smashed open his skull with the butt of the lance. In what looked like a joke, she hit a home run using the handle of the lance. But that insolent human boy would not stop speaking. He felt the fear, but he continued to challenge this god. “A long time ago, before you gained Gungnir, before you took your spot at the top of Gremlin, before you ran across the non-standard monster named Ollerus, and before you took the name Othinus…” She smashed him!! And crushed him!! And destroyed him!! “Did you make this mistake? Did you gain a wonderful power and charge forward without thinking to look back? And as a result, did you not know where to return to?” i dunno how to describe him anymore. |
 |
| "Cú Chulainn from Celtic mythology’s spear did not possess that ability and he was ultimately killed when his own spear was thrown back at him." Is that a mistake from Kamachi or a mistranslation? Cú Chulainn did die from a spear but it wasnt his own.... |
| I wonder about that too? Anyway...seems like Jsbro has slowed his pace. Torture? Or is he busy? Well I'm liking it this way better since I'll be able to keep on reading and feeling this suspense a little longer ^^ But really, Touma!!! Why u so modest XD He underestimates himself too much. There's no way a normal magician can beat him. He's gonna be totally BA when he returns to his original world. That I assure Destroying Gungnir at the price of 2 fingers is a feat no one could do. Too BA |

| I did some checking on that and there's some difference in different sources. On one version, Lugaid has the 3 spears with the 3rd killing Cu. On another version, it was Cu who has the 3 spears and the 3rd one was caught by Lugaid and thrown back at Cu, killing him. The consistent thing in both accounts is that the spears were prophesized to kill 3 kings. The 1st killed the king of chariot drivers, Cu's charioteer. The 2nd killed the king of horses, Cu's horse. The 3rd killed him, the king of warriors. So Kamachi must have used the second version as the reference. |

I shouldnt limit my research on the wiki then(but I didnt want to search more) since it only has the version with Lugaid having the spears. Still...he caught Cu's attack?I understand that he was weakened due to his dog geass but come on...(mythology fails me yet again) |

| So I am just start on volume 8. IDK how I felt about Volume 7, but the writing seriously scrambled. It may be satisfying to read on a volume-to-volume basis on periods of 4 month, but reading it in a fluid motion... Could be better, but not that it isn't already excellent. Well yeah... Seeing how this volume isn't even finished at being translated yet, I guess I will take it easy now, reading 4 volumes in the last 1 week or so was a bit hectic. |
| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| Finally it's end. i found this quote really funny : NT9 said: For the first time, Kamijou swung his right hand. But not in a straight impact meant to destroy. He scooped his hand up from below, traced his hand along the surface of the arrow, and diverted its trajectory upwards. so TouMAN really has kungfu skill now ? lol. This is the greatest NT volume, if not the entire TAMNI volume, i ever read. Kamachi managed to make me (at least) not hating Othinus (instead i love her now XD) after what all she had done in those worlds. I salute you, Kamachi. |
|
| Loved the conclusion. Touma deciding to protect Othinus even with the world as an enemy and her reaction was so great. Dem feeelz >•< The way Othinus chose Toumas world instead of hers was <3 I love her so much now. Loved so many parts with how Touma was thinking about Othinus esp this one NT9 said: "Dammit,” muttered Kamijou while almost in tears. His voice quickly grew to a shout. “When I said I couldn’t stand that place any longer and decided to flee that nightmare world, was I forcing that same nightmare onto you!? Are you experiencing the same world that made me give up!?” Hope Touma can whoop ass nxt volume. I wonder how his friends will react. can't wait :3 110/10 I may be exaggerating from adrenaline rush but best volume I've read my entire life XD __________________ |

|
| Finally got to read the whole volume. Gotta say this volume is satisfaction x] Touma is always awesome but this volume he broke the records :D , and Othinus is <3 BTW I couldn't find the link for volume 9 PDF, did baka tsuki stop the pdf's ?? |

Ok I'm confused about the chapter count, not sure which is the correct. My count was 54, but I see a lot of 91's. |
| "Okay, everyone. It’s time to see a truly lovestruck blonde-haired, green-eyed goddess. -Kamachi Kazuma" Looks like Othinus has been formally introduced into the harem. |
an egomaniac and a fool |
| Woaa. That was the best. Touma became truly a great character in this one. |
 |
| Why don't you guys just use the thing that converts the books to EPUBs? I read them on my Note 3, it's amazing |

| Greatest NT Volume Touma Kamijou, greatest shounen MC ever Touma and Othinus vs The entire world....I wonder who will side with Touma.... |
 |
DAT bloody Komoe. And the feels again. |
| what a splendid tale of splendid splendidness this wait for volume 10 is gonna surely be a long one |
| I finally sat down and read this novel all tonight and god damn this is the best NT novel so far such a good one with so many great and memorable moments and quotes, so many i wont even try to list individual ones. Well i officially fell in love with Othinus this novel as well (Will is great as well but Othinus really stood at the top for me.) Yet another good blonde female character that Kamachi created. She goes right along with Misaki and Leivinia as some of my favourite index characters. Kamachi why do you make your blonde girls so good? |

| Othinus Touma Pairing http://hestia.dance/ |
| Reading this... ON page 67 wow... I have made it this far... I cannot believe it First of all YES, there are so many blonde female characters,but hey, at least lessar has dark hair despite being a caucasian character. Turning all this around... touma does have a shallow relationship with everyone wow... Good job pointing that out Page 84: Wow.. .This is some Evangelion-level mental babble here... If JC Staff can do this right, this volume could be done in 2 episodes or so, and it would be AMAZING. Use creative interpretation like SHAFT... the possibilities is just stunning... I am getting an odd fascination with Othinus, not quite the like I had for Misaki... But her obsession with Touma and torturing him is really maturing him and is kind of special... NO longer is it just a one dimensional save the girl series... I can't describe it, but wow... |

| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| Easily the best part of New Testament. I like the way Kamachi went about the "fight" between Touma and Othinus. It wasn't the usual, but it was awesome. The bad thing is I liked this too much. I want the sequel already! My soul needs it! |
| Brilliant novel... I din't catch all the pointys, but this novel... FUCK! I really wish the Index Anime would've cute the unnecessary stuff to make the speed faster, a lot of time was wasted, we might've even saw this in animation in a year or 2! |
| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| Don't know about that. The anime already cut a lot of stuff as it was. Each season is about like 6-7 novels. That's a lot of content when you think about it. Trying to rush things may end up doing harm. Sadly, this content would only get animated in a hypothetical season 5 :( |

Sadly, this content would only get animated in a hypothetical season 5 :( What I remembered, was that there were a BUNCH of scenes where the time frame was either wasted by prolonged scenes that should've been faster, or too much fanserve in the form of near-nudity. Sigh... I guess, But I was thinking of even cutting Arcs that were irrelevant, such as the guy with the arrow arc and whatever... But yeah... Having God to be his harem member... Props Touma, seriously, he went through a lot, I hope he is more mature by this time. |

dniv said: Chapter 7 was the best chapter in To aru Verse hands down. Best stuff I've seen. That chapter was probably one of the best chapters of anything I've ever read. Touma finally went from my #2 fave character to my #1, cause he did what he had to to become a true boss, and he even became a little selfish. That afterword was great. Next volume boss rush, Dere Othinus, Touma vs. World. I'm also hoping that we see things like Greek Gods soon enough... we've gotten so many references to that mythology already and apparently Kamachi really likes Greek Mythology... he even mentioned Ambrosia in the movie and other things in this volume, so I'm hopeful. I can't wait for NT 10. This was definitely the best volume yet for me, and I liked it more than WWIII grand finale which was my second favorite. So much insane stuff happened this volume that I'm still digesting it a long time after reading it. I bought this one, and am planning to buy more because this one was just so good... Once again Kamachi smashes all expectations and writes something brilliant. I really dont remember many Greek mythology... I do remember Norse though... -_- |
| He barely used any in the many series though.So the whole "he likes Greek mythology" is kinda off. And unlike simply references of the movie,the main series' Norse mythology is an important part of the story. |
| The question begs... WHERE IS ISLAM!???? Also, apparently English Index Fans are clamoring to the Othinus Touma ship!?? on topic: Still a shame looking back how much better the show could've been handled. |

GodlyKyon said: The question begs... WHERE IS ISLAM!????

No i really doubt Islam would be featured in TAMNI since it would trigger uneccessary conflict irl (Moslems don't take lightly on anything that considered offensive related to their religion, and you should have known how religion is treated on TAMNI lol) Well, they understand each other so maybe that's why (says one of the OTP shipper :3) |
|
| It's funny though. We had WW3 with the 3 big Christian Churches at each others' throats and Islam didnt do anything. So either Islam's magic is shit or their magic leaders,which is what matters in TAMNI are smarter/more logical than the Christian Churches'. ON OTP topic: Still a MisakixTouma shipper here. |

belatkuro said: I'm fine with either ToumaxMisaki(Kamisaki?) or ToumaxOthinus(Kamijothinus?) Othinus doujins fucking where? Sadly we wont get loads of fan art of the new testament girls till it gets animated god knows when. I am always on the look out for fan art of NT but there is just not enough, when it gets animated there should be loads like after Misaki started appearing in the manga and got her appearance in the anime she has a lot of art work and doujins now. OthinusxTouma really has become a solid first place for me but of course MisakixTouma is still second for me and third would be LeiviniaxTouma but that i know is not going to happen. Since she appeared in NT she became a fast favorite character and i really did like the relationship that grew between her and Touma and how that conflict played out in NT 5 and 6. Again my 3 top pairings are all blondes but that is Kamachi's fault for making all his blonde characters awesome (Thor as well so that is even the guys) not because i have a thing for blonde hair or something like that. I can see why he has not really touched on Islam magic though because well yes it very well may turn into something like poking a bear with a stick unfortunately. There are still many major relgions left for him to explore like Hinduism for example, but yes he has always used Norse mythology a lot and it is one of the most major ones in Index. |

| From what I know,which isnt that much anyway, Islam doesnt really have a huge mythology behind it so maybe thats why he doesnt touch it that much. Again, my knowledge of Islam is very close to 0, but I have never read or seen any works based on it unlike many myths and legends from any other religion/countries. |

Actually Hinduism was already featured on Road to Endymion if i recall correctly. I hope Kamachi would explore Egypt Mythology instead, since it would be related to the Aeons, i think. |

| Well magic in islamic mythology is mostly based on jinn. And there is just general information about jinn and nearly nothing about their names,types etc, unlike norse or greek mythology which has a big variety of gods and other mythological creatures. |

As far as we know though, a MYTHOLOGY exists in this universe and so far, no mention of Islam. |

Well, since Christian and Catholic were already featured in TAMNI, Islam wouldn't make much variety since they were sharing the same history at a certain point (and you should have known if Mohammed wouldl be featured as a such outrageous character, Kamachi would suffer the same fate as Touma in Alpha World :p) Islam do have some mythology you know, but only a few and they weren't that well known. |
