Summary

Misaka Mikoto is a main heroine in Toaru Majutsu no Index and the main protagonist of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun.

She is the third-ranked Level 5 esper and the strongest Electromaster in Academy City, nicknamed the Railgun due to her signature move. Kamijou Touma also coined the nickname Biri-Biri (a Japanese onomatopoeia imitating the sound of electricity) for her, a nickname that greatly irritates her. Mikoto developed a fixation on Touma because of his mysterious ability to negate her powers, driving her to chase him around for a rematch. Her fixation only grew up with time as Touma saved her life and the lives of her clones from the #1 Level 5, Accelerator, until she realized she had fallen in love with him.

Powers and Abilities:

• Pre-Daihaseisai
• Level 6 Shift Experiment
• Post-Daihaseisai

• Abilities
• Resistances

• Superhuman Physical Characteristics
• Genius Intelligence
• Hand-to-Hand Combat
• Esper Power (She is a Power Curriculum Programm-based Esper)
  • Accelerated Development (Training, Battle, Other; Abilities: As a Level 5 Esper, Misaka has bypassed a barrier that lower level Espers are unable to overcome and is able to gradually increase her abilities through a variety of means like through battling opponents, training her abilities or personal growth)
  • Electricity Manipulation (Can produce and manipulate electricity, discharging it omnidirectionally, release directed “lightning spears” from her forehead, or call down larger bolts from the sky. In addition, the immense heat generated by her lightning can burn concrete rubble into charcoal, burn through rebar and melt flesh without even needing to hit it directly; the lighting she calls down from the skies should also be comparable to real lightning)
    • Paralysis Inducement (Her electricity can flow into the opponent's nerves to use the involuntary reflexes to stop them. Can send out electricity that can forcibly constrict muscles to prevent movement)
    • Technology Manipulation (By using her powers, she can carry out precise hacking and take control electronic device such as security cameras, combat-capable drones, mechas and even advanced powered suits like the Five_OVERs and should also be comparable to Misaka Worst, a weaker copy of her who can hack cyborgs to take control of their bodies. Furthermore, she can restore deleted data off of a computer, hack into databases and even overload servers over the internet to cause building fires)
  • Magnetism Manipulation (Can use magnetism to control magnetic objects in a telekinetic-like manner such as, throwing them at people, creating shields, making makeshift cages. She can also jump from building to building, glides through the air, slowing her descent by using nearby metallic objects and reach the top of a building in only two steps with magnetism. Other ways that she can use her magnetism are vibrating a piece of metal to produce a fake voice, magnetize objects to attarct attract metallic objects and interfere with the internals of objects)
    • Iron Sand Manipulation (Can use her electromagnetism to manipulate iron sand in numerous ways, usually to form things like swords, whips, claws, tornadoes, drills, feathers, tsunamis, doubles of herself and others, and shields)
    • Surface Scaling (Has used her magnetism to attaching herself onto surfaces, like cling to the side of a wall to avoid falling, cling and walk on ceilings, and walks across the wing of a jet in flight)
  • Enhanced Senses (She can perceive the flow of electrical currents and magnetic fields. Her body is constantly emitting electro-magnetic waves that picks up any suspicious movements against her, which can allow her to feel and maneuver around her surroundings even while she can't see or hear. Can also detect a person's presence even if they are invisible with her microwave radar. Should also be comparable to her weaker clones, who can measure someone's heartrate and brainwaves through touch and can detect the exact amount of people in a building and if they are armed from a distance away)
  • Durability Negation (Can send out powerful electromagnetic waves that can mess with internal organs)
  • Plasma Manipulation (She considered it possible to use her powers to return Accelerator's plasma sphere to its original state by putting the electrons and cations back together. Can ionize empty cans and turn them into plasma as a visual distraction)
  • Memory Manipulation (Her electricity can act as a circuit that links her mind to someone else's upon making physical contact with them, allowing her to view their memories. In the past, she claimed she could zap the memory region of a person's brain to make them forget memories)
  • Limited Flight (Can use her magnetism to use metallic objects as a way to levitate in the air or fly around the battlefield in a limited manner. In very specific circumstances, she can manipulate water vapor into a set of wings using the static electricity from the interactions between particles to fly)
  • Weather Manipulation (Was stated by Kumokawa Seria to be among the few espers that are capable of controlling weather conditions. Can create large thunderclouds to attack people with lightning strikes)

• Resistance to Electricity Manipulation and Extreme Heat (Has survived having her own lightning reflected back onto her while in the air, enduring its heat as well as its voltage. Should be comparable to Mugino Shizuri, as a fellow electric-based Espers, who has stated that they have a heightened resistance towards electricity)

• Resistance to Mind Manipulation (Has an electromagnetic barrier that protects against Shokuhou Misaki's Mental Out and a solid wall of powerful distrust towards her power itself which renders it ineffective against her in most situations. Her electromagnetic barrier also seemingly offers protection against the Magic Side's people-clearing fields)

Attack Potency: Mountain level+ (Shouldn't be physically weaker than her Post Daihaseisai Key), Large Mountain Level+ with Esper Power (Her lightning strikes are this strong. Defeated Mugino Shizuri while heavily exhausted. Sogiita Gunha felt she really had some guts and he would've lost if their encounter kept going), Island level with Railgun (Shouldn't be any different than her Post Daihaseisai Key's Railgun, which is her trump card that produces unequaled destruction, making it superior to her other abilities power-wise)

Speed: Relativistic+ reaction speed (Can react to and evade Mugino Shizuri's Meltdowner at close-range, which makes her this fast. Shouldn't be slower than her weaker clone, Dolly, who can move this fast to evade a rubber bullet. Shouldn't be much slower than Kamijou Touma, who can consistently react to her light-speed lightning and electromagnetic waves attacks), Supersonic with Water Wings (Xochitl considered her Water Wings faster than her Mixcoatl and its missiles), Supersonic+ attack speed with Railgun (Her Railgun is fired at the speed of 1030 m/s), Speed of Light attack speed with Esper Powers (Her lightning attacks have been repeatedly stated and translated to move at the speed of light.

Durability: Mountain level+ (Shouldn't be physically weaker than before)

Same as Pre-Daihaseisai but to higher degree and excluding Accelerated Development, plus;

By Herself:

• Statistics Amplification (Was taught by Hokaze Junko on how to reproduce and use a copy of her Rampage Dress, although, it is unknown if she taught her how to use the other aspects of Rampage Dress like its regeneration capabilities or its ability to enhance one's senses)
• Large Size (Type 0 to Type 1: Created a giant from iron sand to combat the 60m monster created and controlled by Doppelganger. Used a smaller but still massive gaint from iron sand against Shundan Kimi)
• Air Manipulation (Can create ozone. Can break down the air to change the oxygen level, and can also open a "hole" in the atmosphere to give the oxygen she needs and protect herself from friction)
• Radiation Manipulation (Can manipulate microwaves, either to divert existing ones or creating her own to heat herself up in cold weather)
  • Possibly Light Manipulation (Hokaze Junko considered an electromaster on Misaka's level would probably be able to interfere with particles of light to defend against laser beams)
• Possibly Energy Manipulation (Kamijou Touma considered it possible that she could create Thor's Arc Fusion Blades upon seeing Thor using them while disguised as her)

With Anti-Art Attachment:

• Flight (Her A.A.A can fly)

• Instinctive Action (The A.A.A. can function autonomously and fight a select target when she's rendered unconscious)
• Statistics Amplification (Can boost her lightning using the A.A.A.)

Attack Potency: Mountain level+ (Capable of beating down Kamijou Touma in hand-to-hand combat), Large Mountain level with Rampage Dress (Learned Hokaze Junko's Rampage Dress ability, which strengthens her body and made Junko so strong that shethought getting a direct hit from her may literally caused her body to explode), higher with Esper Power (The editor of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun has stated that her power and how she used it improved after her experience with Level Six Shift experiment. Has reached the peak of her Esper power sometime during this time period), Island level with Railgun (Described as a cruel attack that produces unequaled destruction and has explicitly stated that her railgun is her trump card, making it superior to her other abilities power-wise), higher with Anti-Art-Attachment (She has stated A.A.A was the exact solution she needed to reach the "next sage" that she felt her own personal esper abilities too weak to reach by themselves. The British sought to incorporate the A.A.A into their fighting forces and were more interested in the A.A.A than their Saints), even higher with Statistics Amplification (Can boost the power of her lightning with the A.A.A), Multi-Continent level with Liquid Proof Railgun (Destroyed the Windowless Building, which was left entirely unaffected by Accelerator's strike that was infused with the Earth's rotational energy)

Speed: Relativistic+ (Shouldn't be slower than before), far higher perception speed with Iron Sand (Could keep up with Brunhild Eiktobel's speed by using iron sand that was spread along the ground even if her movements exceeded the limits of Misaka’s kinetic vision), Supersonic with Water Wings, Supersonic+ attack speed with Railgun, Speed of Light attack speed with Esper Powers, Supersonic+ to Hypersonic with A.A.A (Can fly at Mach 6 speeds but can only take careful aim while flying at Mach 2.5 speeds)

Lifting Strength: Athletic Human, Class M with Magnetism (Her magnetism could hold the weight of her Iron Sand Giant, which weights this much. Instantly stopped a tank in its tracks. Stopped The High Priest smashing a 20-story building at her and then was able to catch and support the weight of several occupied multi story buildings that High Priest tossed at her soon after with her magnetism)

Striking Strength: Mountain level+, Large Mountain level with Esper Power

Durability: Mountain level+ (Comparable to her Attack Potency. Could endure a glancing blow from her own redirected railgun. Could endure being stuck by the Angel Dragon on two occasions. Could endure being struck by Kihara Yuiitsu), Large Mountain level with Esper Power (Should be on-par with Hokaze Junko), higher with Anti-Art-Attachment (Had sustained only minor damage after blocking an attack from a Class 6 Element)

Stamina: Superhuman (Could go on a rampage against Academy City, having not eaten, rested and being on the move nonestop for several days; she then went on to fight and defeat Frenda Seivelun, and then, without a moment to rest, she went on to fight and defeat Mugino Shizuri after having overused her ability and not having any more strength)

Range: Standard Melee Ranage physically, Extended Melee Ranage to Hundreds of Meters with Magnetism Manipulation, Tens of Meters with Coin Railgun (50 Meters) | Same as before | Same as before, plus, Tens of Meters with Iron Sand Giant (via Sheer Size), Kilometers with Iron Sand Giant Railgun (Can hit several targets from several kilometers away), Extended Melee Ranage to Tens of Kilometers with A.A.A (With the various types of weapons that the A.A.A has. Can hit targets that are falling from orbit)

Standard Equipment: 10 Arcade Coins | None notable | Same as Pre-Daihaseisai

• Optional Equipment: The A.A.A for her Post-Daihaseisai key

Intelligence:

• General Knowledge
• In Combat
• In Esper Powers

Gifted (She is among Academy City greatest honor students by default by being among the few Level 5 Espers in the city. She's also a student of the prestigous Tokiwadai Middle School, which teaches its students more than the average middle school and gives lectures on a university level as shown when she easily answered Kamijou Touma's summer homework with ease. She has displayed notable skill in engineering as she was able to reverse-engineer and build her own version of the Anti-Art Attachment, from analysis of the original weapon and with support from her newly established club at Tokiwadai. In addition, she has stated in a Q&A that she had learned how to play a violin in one year and that she can also speak French, English, Italian, and Russian and thinks she can manage a few other languages as well)

Gifted (Though she lacks formal training in hand-to-hand combat, she has experience in back-alley fights and can compensate her lack of formal training by fighting dirty and can skillfully use her powers to maintain a safe distance, block attacks, decoys to trick and catch enemies off guard or even destroy their weapons. It has also been implied that Misaka has undergone some degree of sword training, which she uses in conjunction with her iron sand blades, though it has also been suggested that her swordsmanship may be self-taught. Nonetheless, Misaka Mikoto is still a skilled fighter who can keep up with a Saint like Brunhild Eiktobel, despite being at a massive disadvantage due to Brunhild being able to kill her with one hit and was too fast for her eyes to see, without making even a single instantaneous mistake, with the fight ultimately ending in a stalemate. Wanigawa Raifu had deemed her as perceptive upon Misaka lowering the output her railgun at the last second once she realized that Raifu was planning to use her own attack against her, causing it to miss. While fighting Doppelganger, Misaka was capable of coming up with twenty possible ways their absorption ability works, testing her theories out and eventually coming up with the proper answer. She's also quick in developing her powers, inventing her attack that's her namesake essentially on the spot and learning how to use Junko’s Rampage Dress ability mostly without issue)

Genius (As a Level 5, Misaka Mikoto is incredibly intelligent as Esper abilities require specific calculations in order to be produced efficiently. Espers below Misaka, like Shirai Kuroko, calculate up to 11 dimensional space so as to safely and accurately teleport; and these calculations must be near-instantaneous, not to mention 100% accurate in the midst of combat. This is best shown when she uses her powers to save her life in do-or-die situations, for example; she once performed incomprehensible calculations on the fly, allowing her to precisely control the static electricity between water particles in the air, creating wings for herself out of seawater under perfect conditions; in another occasion, while suffocating in oil, she demonstrated similar precision and on-the-fly calculations, using iron sand to break down the oil into oxygen, nitrogen, and other components of air, carrying it to her mouth and allowing her to breathe it in. She is also tech-savvy with her powers, being capable of hacking most security systems in Academy City, which is 20 to 30 years ahead of the world, with Mikoto comparing her surprise at the low comparative level of the security of the American Liberal Arts City local network to seeing a car running on coal)

Weaknesses: Has been shown that she can run out of electricity to use if she fights for too long. Heavily relies on her rader in battles to anticipate attacks and react to them to the point that she does extremely poorly in fights without it. | She appears to be a mindless beast and her power progression is slowed down when in the presence of powerful opponents or negating abilities; Will self-destruct upon reaching her maximum power output, as Mikoto can't become a stable Level 6 | Same as Pre-Daihaseisai. Can hurt herself if she isn't careful while using Rampage Dress. Can experience some side effects when using the A.A.A. The Liquid Proof Railgun requires the support of Shokuhou Misaki

Feats: See here.

Notable Attacks and Techniques:

Electromaster (電撃使い (エレクトロマスター) Dengeki Tsukai (Erekutoromasutā), lit. "Electric Shock User"): While Mikoto chose to name her esper ability after her famous signature move, the Railgun, she belongs to a type of espers called Electromasters, espers which can generate and manipulate electricity and control electromagnetism. While it's one of the more common abilities in Academy City, Mikoto is known to be the city's strongest Electromaster, with a maximum output of over 1 billion volts. Despite being famous for her Railgun, she herself considers the true worth of her ability to reside in its great versatility, holding pride on her ability to attack the enemy with multiple attacks from multiple angles, and disliking others considering her to be just a walking cannon. Mikoto's signature attack Mikoto prepares a bigger Railgun Mikoto's scrap Railgun Iron Sand Puppett's Railgun 1/4 Electromagnetism: Railgun (超電磁砲 (レールガン) Chō-Denjihō (Rērugan), lit. "Super Electromagnetic Cannon"): Mikoto can fire metal objects at three times the speed of sound using her electricity. Her railgun has a muzzle velocity of 1030 m/s (2307.2 mph) and can be fired at a rate of 8 shots per minute. She primarily uses arcade coins as her projectiles for portability, limiting her normal range to 50 meters because of the coins melting due to friction, though she can use larger objects for greater range and destructive power. Liquid Proof Railgun: A version of Misaka's Railgun improved and only possible through the participation of Misaki. Misaki uses her ability to manipulate moisture at the microscopic level into a special lattice pattern on the surface of the coin. By doing so she cools the coin and greatly reduces its friction, taking away the usual 50 meter limit of the technique imposed by the coin having vaporized when reaching that distance and increases its power due to less kinetic energy being lost in friction. Additionally, when the coating liquid is vaporized and rapidly expands into steam, this accelerates the coin further making it so that it accelerates the further it flies instead of slowing down. Radar Interference: Mikoto can use electromagnetism to interfere with radar and radar-based weapons liked guided missiles. Microwave Defense: Mikoto can use her power to shield herself and a small area around her from microwaves. Powerful Electromagnetic Pulse: Mikoto has the ability to create magnetic pulses that target the enemy's organs to disrupt their functions. Light Manipulation: When faced with Yumiya Iruka's lasers, Hokaze Junko suggested that an electromaster on Misaka's level would probably be able to interfere with the particles of light. Microwave Creation: Misaka has demonstrated the ability to produce microwaves. She can use this to protect herself and others from cold temperatures. Mikoto's Lightning Spear Mikoto electrocutes her surroundings Mikoto causes a lightning strike Mikoto uses a flash of lightning to blind Seike Mikoto creating thunderclouds over Academy City 1/5 Electricity Manipulation: Mikoto's basic attacks consist of shooting lightning spears, sometimes through her hands. Her most common way of releasing electricity, however, is through her forehead. She can also defend herself from electron-based attacks by bending them away from her. Lightning Strike: Mikoto can call down true lightning using her ability, regardless of the current weather. This attack was shown to be powerful enough to cause a city-wide blackout and have the side effect of blocking satellite observation or level all the trees in a park while carving a small volcanic-like crater on the park's stone floor. Electricity Conduction: Mikoto can conduct electricity through her own body to shock opponents through physical touch. She can also use this ability to take control of her own muscles and nerves when they have been rendered ineffective through the use of drugs or other paralyzing agents and continue to move. Due to her body's ability to withstand her own electricity, she can resist enemies trying to shock or electrocute her; for example, she wasn't even fazed by someone trying to use a stun gun on her. Flash/Thunder: Mikoto can release intense bluish-white sparks from her bangs that use the same flash and roar of lightning to cause tremendous light and noise to momentarily take away some of the enemy's senses like a stun grenade. She can also use just the flash of lightning to temporarily blind an opponent. An enraged Mikoto attacks Accelerator with steel rails Mikoto traps an enemy using concrete Mikoto creates a shield out of scrap metal Mikoto pulls herself towards a wall to dodge an explosion Mikoto uses magnetism to climb a building 1/5 Magnetism Manipulation: Mikoto is also skilled at using her magnetism ability to attract and repel metallic materials to her advantage in numerous ways. Her power over magnetism is strong and precise enough to support several buildings that High Priest had uprooted and was trying to use to smash her, preventing them from breaking apart while simultaneously keeping the dozens to hundreds of people inside each building safe, and she is also capable of vibrating a thin metal panel to produce a fake voice as a distraction. Offensive Use: Mikoto can throw pieces of concrete or metal objects as a projectile, or even swing them around like a large hammer if they are big enough. Defensive Use: Mikoto can create make-shift shields using nearby scrap-metal or pieces of concrete. Interference: Mikoto can manipulate metal tools or weapons held by the enemy, interfering or completely stopping their attacks on their tracks. For example, she can stop guns from firing by messing with their internal structure. She can also magnetize the tool or weapon so that all sorts of iron objects will attach to it, increasing its weight and making it harder or impossible for the enemy to use/wield them. Mobility: Mikoto can use her magnetism ability to attach herself to walls that contain steel. Not only that, her magnetism is strong enough that she can use it to pull herself towards walls, allowing her to evade attacks and to freely move through a city by jumping from building to building. If she's in a narrow alleyway, she can even levitate by pulling towards both walls. Mikoto's vibrating iron sand sword Mikoto turns her sword into a whip sword An enraged Mikoto creates an iron sand claw An enraged Mikoto surrounds Accelerator with an Iron Sand Tornado Mikoto builds a giant iron sand puppet Mikoto uses iron sand to catch an enemy attack Mikot makes an iron sand double 1/7 Iron Sand Manipulation: Mikoto can use electromagnetism to manipulate iron sand and vibrate it at high speeds, giving it a high cutting power. She has used this iron sand in numerous ways, usually to form weapons like swords, spears or whips. She can cover non-magnetic objects with iron sand to use them as ammunition for her signature Railgun technique, and she can control masses smaller than a speck to disable firearms by sending them into their barrels or ejection ports to tear them apart from within. Iron Sand Swords: Mikoto can form a "whip sword" by gathering iron sand and manipulating it into one or two swords that she can lengthen into a whip at will. By making the sand particles of the blade vibrate, she can dramatically increase the weapon's cutting power into something resembling a chainsaw. She can also create a giant version of her standard iron sand sword. She doesn't need to actually hold the swords with her hands, as she later showed she can create multiple iron sand whips and control them with her mind to attack from several directions at the same time, described as being similar to an octopus' tentacles or a spider's legs. Iron Sand Hands: Mikoto can create long iron sand hands to attack the enemy. Iron Sand Tornado: Mikoto can surround the enemy with a small iron sand tornado. Iron Sand Shield: Mikoto can create iron sand shields to defend herself. Iron Sand Tsunami: Mikoto can create a large iron sand wave much like a tsunami, big enough to completely wipe out a Russian military base. Iron Sand Drills: Mikoto can create several hundred iron sand drills that have electricity running through them to pierce the enemy. Iron Sand Floor: Mikoto can spread iron sand on the ground to follow the footsteps of enemies that move too fast for her to follow normally. Iron Sand Needles: Mikoto can create a storm of killer iron sand needles that surrounds the enemy for a 360º attack. Electric Cage: Mikoto used this technique during her fight with Kihara Nayuta. First, Mikoto created several hundred iron sand balls that rose up in the air and spread through the area. Then, the iron sand balls collapsed into smaller spinning balls, surrounding both girls and emitting bluish-white sparks. Once the balls were set, Mikoto used them to conduct electricity to cover the entire place in a spinning iron sand ball dome, letting electricity flow through them to cover the gaps between the balls with electricity, forming a large electric cage with Mikoto at its center. Mikoto can freely control the size of this cage, for example, shrinking it towards her opponent. Mikoto can immediately repair and regenerate the damaged cage by using more iron sand. Iron Sand Railgun: Mikoto can create conductive metallic spear-like rods to shoot as a railgun. She can create and shoot at least twenty of these railguns at the same time. Iron Sand Giant Puppet: Mikoto can create a giant iron sand puppet, tall and strong enough to challenge the Doppelganger's giant form. The puppet can reform itself if damaged, and it also builds up electricity by rubbing iron sand and dust inside itself to fire iron sand bullets like a giant version of her regular Railgun. Iron Sand Double: Mikoto can create a fake version of her using iron sand to trick opponents in low visibility situations, such as in a smokescreen, or doubles of other made from iron sand to obscure their escape route Plasma Manipulation: Mikoto has showed the ability to ionize empty cans and turn them into plasma as a visual distraction during her match with Gunha. Additionally, when Accelerator created a large plasma sphere during his fight with Touma by compressing the air, Mikoto considered it possible for her to use her esper power to return the plasma to its original state by putting the electrons and cations back together, but realized it would be pointless as Accelerator would just easily recreate the plasma sphere. Technology Manipulation: Using her electric powers she can hack electronic devices, bypassing normal electronic security measures with ease. She can decode the electronic flow of information, like to steal the information from a credit card's magnetic strip, as well as directly process a computer's information in binary. This skill also enables her to perform acts such as erasing herself from security footage in real time or taking control of Academy City's roving security robots, cars, or even their advanced powered suits like the Five Overs. Battery Detonation: Mikoto can detonate the batteries of modern items such as phones, radios, metal detectors and stun batons as small bombs. Unique Sensory Perception of Electric-type Espers: As an electromaster, Mikoto is, of course, able to sense electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic phenomena. She is, however, able to follow the electric and magnetic field lines using her eyes, something that normal electro-masters are unable to do with their limited power. She takes this ability one step further by analyzing the reflections of the electromagnetic waves she generates, giving her no blind spots. Mikoto creating water wings to fly Flight: Using formulas similar to those she uses for her Iron Sand sword, Mikoto can fly if she is surrounded by a large amount of atomized water vapor. She does this by manipulating the water vapor into wings using the static electricity from interactions between particles. By using her electric power to induce electrolysis on a large body of water such as the ocean, she can obtain enough hydrogen and oxygen to use as fuel. The wings are at least strong enough to blow up air-to-air missiles. Defense Against Bioelectricity Manipulation: Mikoto has been shown to be immune the attempts to manipulate her bioelectricity due to the passive electromagnetic barrier created by her AIM dispersion field, only suffering a small amount of pain when the strongest mental esper and fellow Level 5 Shokuhou Misaki tried to manipulate her brain. Ozone Creation: Mikoto should be able to replicate one of her Misaka Sisters using her electricity to turn oxygen into ozone in an attempt to suffocate Accelerator, likely at a much higher rate than her, as her clones have a much weaker version of her ability (The Sisters' Electromaster ability is 1/20000th of Mikoto's). Oxygen Detonation: Mikoto should be able to replicate Misaka Worst using her electricity to detonate oxygen and using the force of the blast in several ways, like to propel herself at great speeds, jump incredible heights or even land without a parachute from a moving plane, as Misaka Worst wields a weaker version of her ability (Worst's Electromaster ability is 1/5th of Mikoto's). Airflow Manipulation: Misaka can open a 'hole' in the atmosphere using electricity. Since air naturally flows from high pressure regions into low pressure regions she can manipulate the airflow using this method. This is also what prevents Misaka from being roasted by friction when using the A.A.A. Arc Fusion Blades: Upon seeing Thor disguised as Mikoto using his arc fusion blades, Kamijou Touma thought that Mikoto was likely capable of creating them too, but would likely choose to rely on her iron sand sword in close quarters because of her principles and preferences. This possibility is supported by the narration later during Thor's fight with Silvia, as it mentions it's unclear how powerful an Electromaster esper would need to be to replicate his 20-meter blades. Rampage Dress: Hokaze Junko has taught Misaka how to reproduce her esper ability and has stated that she has a knack in using it but she dislikes using this ability as it reminds her of Accelerator. Rampage Dress works by manipulating the electrical signals in one's cells to draw out further strength and surpass her physical limits. Like Hokaze, this allows her to strengthen her sense of smell by increasing the sensitivity of her olfactory cells or to perform superhuman manoeuvres by boosting her muscle cells. She should also have the regenerative abilities that users of Rampage Dress have as well. Additionally, Misaka also learned how to focus and limit the areas of her body affected by the ability. However, she can still harm herself if she pushes her body too much. Mikoto in the midst of her Level 6 Shift Level 6 Shift Transformation: During the Daihaseisai, Kihara Gensei forcibly used Mikoto as a subject to become a Level 6, making her undergo several transformations of increasing power: Initial Form: Mikoto’s initial form upon engulfing the power of the Misaka Network. The most obvious change is the appearance of two ribbon-like objects with diamond-shaped patterns attached to them that hug around Mikoto’s arms. Described by Gensei as 2% up along the path of a Level 6, it is already powerful enough to create a large electric attack that completely engulfs the already tall Windowless Building and a large area that surrounds the building, though predictably the Windowless Building is unscathed. This attack is referenced as the largest scale lightning strike ever recorded. Other features of her power include creating smaller strikes that resemble beams of energy, manipulating several giants chunks of metal and iron sand, and seemingly traveling through the strike of her electricity - literally “riding the lightning.” First Transformation: Mikoto transforms even further and her appearance changes drastically. Under this form, the ribbons are composed of materialized AIM and reformed sheets of metal that were melted by electrical heat which Gunha would later describe as a mass of compressed energy, after being hit. As with the first forms, all of Mikoto's powers become stronger. Second Transformation: What Gensei describes as the Opening Stage, this was her final form just before she was turned back to normal. After Mitori seemingly defeated Kuroko, she once more ordered Mikoto to destroy the Windowless Building. The ground where Mikoto was floating turned black, and at Mikoto's hand gesture a large black sphere of energy is formed, described by Gunha as something from another world that cannot be understood, and later by Mikoto as not an esper power, but something called in by her desire to crush and eliminate the parts of Academy City she dislikes. Imagine Breaker failed to negate this sphere, the attempt ripping off Touma's right arm. Upon reaching 53% of her theoretical limit, her personality would transform into "something from a different dimension."
