Line 43:
* [[Anime Catholicism]]: Or rather, Anime Christianity, given that the Roman Catholic Church is one of three major churches in the setting.
* [[Anti-Magic]]: Touma's right hand, the "[[Gratuitous English|Imagine Breaker]]". He outrageously claims that it can negate even miracles from the gods, and subsequent events back him up on this.
* [[Apotheosis]]:
** ''A Certain Magical Index'' has Magic Gods, people who have mastered magic to the point where they can bend reality without exception through it. To obtain such godhood, a magician needs to master a path (such as a theology based in Shinto, Voodoo, Hindu, Buddhism, Norse, Greek, etc.) to the end and perform a special ritual. There is also the possibility of becoming an impure Magic god due to a magician's stopping their growth.
** On the Science Side, Level 6 Espers are comparable to Magic Gods, which is why Academy City was created. They are trying to achieve this to gain knowledge about the world's truth, which even the Magic Side has been trying to gain. Many experiments have involved getting Espers to level up, especially with the Level 5s. There has been success, but only temporarily.
* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]: Touma sees Esper powers on a regular basis but initially dismisses the idea of magic as nonsense. Index's counter-skepticism of ''Touma's'' power is a lot more reasonable, considering he (an Atheist) is claiming precedence over God's power. Academy City in general seems to hold this attitude, considering ''its'' brain-enhancing Esper program as thoroughly scientific and counter to any related superstitions that might crop up. But since Science is basically proven hypotheses supported by data from repeatable experiments about how the world works, the fact that magic is repeatable means...
** If you treat Science as just a separate religion, with more public "miracles" (i.e., technology), it makes a bit more sense. All of the religions deride the others as heretics and fools, despite the fact that their magic works just as well.
Line 63 ⟶ 66:
* [[Badass Boast]]: There's been a few.
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Accelerator'''}}: This is not a negotiation. It is not a suggestion, not a trade, not a petition, not an agreement, not a compromise, not a surrender. This is my victory march, you stupid bastards.}}
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Accelerator to Teitoku'''}}: Between me and you, there is an impassable wall.}}
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Fiamma, [[Irony|just before all his plans crash and burn]]'''}}: I'm about to save this world. Therefore, I have no more use for you. Feel the glory, meatbag. Your value as a human being, obediently let me have it.
{{spoiler|'''Kamijou Touma'''}}: I'll destroy that screwed up illusion of yours! }}
* [[Badass Normal]]: Many characters in this series are this.
** Shiage, {{spoiler|a Level 0 who defeated a Level 5. '''TWICE'''.}}
Line 254:
** Touma is introduced running away from delinquents, in a manner specifically intended to make them tire themselves out. It turns out that they're chasing him because he told them off for harassing a middle school girl. But then it turns out that he was actually trying to protect the delinquents from [[Person of Mass Destruction|her]]. Finally, the girl catches up, challenges him to a fight and shoots lightning at him, which he easily blocks with his right hand.
** Othinus makes her first appearance by {{spoiler|crushing Touma's right hand, then crushing the even more powerful entity inside it. She then matches Ollerus in a duel of magic when he shows up}}.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]:
*
** Accelerator refuses to reveal his original name. In ''A Certain Scientific Railgun'', he claims he doesn't remember it.
** Also a minor character named "Management" as well as the leader of the English knights, Knight Leader.
** The same applies to the members of God's Right Seat - only Acqua's real name is ever revealed.
** The eponymous Index - "Index Librorum Prohibitorum" isn't a name, it's Latin (or at least Google Translate's idea of Latin) for "List of Prohibited Books". Considering how many times she's had her memories wiped, [[Fridge Horror|she probably doesn't know her own name any more]].
* [[Evil Albino]]: Accelerator. He later becomes an [[Heroic Albino|Anti Heroic Albino]].
* [[Extremely Short Timespan]]: The series runs at an absolutely breakneck pace, with World War III literally only lasting a few weeks.
Line 540 ⟶ 545:
* [[Psycho Lesbian]]: [[Played for Laughs]] with Shirai Kuroko.
* [[Rant-Inducing Slight]]: Touma insults [[Those Two Guys|Aogami's]] infatuation with girls that fall from the sky, and he goes into an incredible [[Troperrific]] rant about what he's into that contains so much [[Fetish Fuel]] it has to be [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/to_aru_majutsu_no_index/v05/c022/25.html seen] to be believed. Here is the original list from the novels, be prepared:
{{quote|'''Aogami''': "Haaa, you're too naive, Kami-yan. I have a [[Anything That Moves|wide range of acceptance]] when it comes to women, not just including fallen female main characters, but also includes [[Not Blood Siblings|foster sisters,]] [[Parental Incest|foster mother, foster daughter,]] [[Twin Threesome Fantasy|twins,]] [[College Widow|widows,]] [[
'''Touma''': [[Wholesome Crossdresser|"At least one of them]] [[Shotacon|isn't a female right?"]]. }}
