* [[One-Man Army]]: Bonus points to
* [[Sobriquet]]: Their Badass Nicknames have often come to define them in the public over their real ones: Especially Accelerator, who claims to have forgotten his real name after repeated use of 'Accelerator'.

[[File:b78b218ce32a66f78df1066abb4df41f_452.jpg|frame]]
Academy City's second most powerful Level 5 esper, and the leader of SCHOOL. His ability, Dark Matter, allows him to create entirely new forms of matter that aren't bound by the laws of physics.
-----
*
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]: He's incredibly confident in his own power, looks down on everyone else, and hates the fact that Accelerator is stronger than him.
*
* [[Berserk Button]]: When he's told his ability -- more specifically, his white wings -- would have appeal to kids for a demonstration during the Daihaseisai, he wrecks SCHOOL's hideout. Considering his one-sided rivalry with Accelerator, being told you have appeal to kids is the ego equivalent of a kick to the balls.
* [[Bishonen]]
*
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: He spent Volume 15 [[One-Hit Kill|one-shotting]] everyone he went up against without getting a scratch, {{spoiler|until he went up against Accelerator.}}
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: He's Accelerator with no [[Even Evil Has Standards|standards]].
* [[Evilly Affable]]: Provided you don't directly oppose or hinder his objectives, he's actually a half-decent guy.
* [[Green Lantern Ring]]: His ability, Dark Matter, basically does whatever he wants it to and ''defies the laws of physics'' while doing so.
** [[Combo-Platter Powers]]: Just a few ways we've seen
*** [[Attack Reflector]]: He was even able to reflect attacks ''Accelerator'' threw at him.
*** [[Light'Em Up]]: Seems to be his preferred method of attack. He can fire over ''2500'' forms of radiation from all over the electromagnetic spectrum. He does this by using Dark Matter constructs to reflect and refract light.
*** [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: The best way of describing how he defeated {{spoiler|
*** [[Super Strength]]
**
***
***
** [[Fighting a Shadow]]: {{spoiler|He can now create an endless army of himself. Destroying any of the clones doesn't permanently hinder him at all.}}
** [[From a Single Cell]]: {{spoiler|No matter how much injury he sustains, as long as even a small amount of Dark Matter remains, he can reconstruct himself.}}
** [[Superpower Lottery]]: Being able to create a form of matter that can do anything you want ''at will'' is pretty amazing.
**
* [[Foil]]: To both Accelerator and Shizuri. It's pointed out that he specializes in creation while they specialize in destruction.
* {{spoiler|[[Hoist by His Own Petard]]}}: {{spoiler|Accelerator uses his own Dark Matter against him to finish him off, having learned how to redirect it even before Awakening.}}▼
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|After Beetle 05 gains its own will, it hijacks control of the network and becomes the new Teitoku.}}
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]:
▲*
** {{spoiler|One of his own Dark Matter copies gains an independent mind and hijacks control of the network, becoming the new Teitoku.}}
* [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]]: When {{spoiler|Uiharu}} wouldn't tell him the location of {{spoiler|Last Order}}, he tries to get the information out of her by ''stomping on her shoulder, dislocating it, and continuing to put pressure on it''.
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: Just as much as, if not more than, Accelerator.
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: Despite his angelic appearance and using weaponized light as his main attack,
* [[Meaningful Name]]: His name can roughly be translated as "Emperor of the Front Fence".
* [[Not Worth Killing]]: He has absolutely no compassion or remorse, but he will sometimes leave his opponents alive if they are completely helpless or already dying, just because he thinks it would be beneath him to waste energy on them.
*
* [[Redemption Demotion]]: {{spoiler|He doesn't use his [[Self-Duplication]] anymore, as that would risk allowing an evil personality to take over.}}
* [[Satellite Character]]: His entire character is defined by his relationship with, and inferiority to, Accelerator.
** [[Always Second Best]]
Line 62 ⟶ 67:
** [[Unknown Rival]]
* [[The Sociopath]]
* [[Split Personality Takeover]]: {{spoiler|One of his own creations, Beetle 05, gains free will and refuses to follow his orders. It takes over the network, destroying the original and proclaiming himself to be the new Teitoku. Accelerator and Shizuri surmise that this was likely the part of his original personality that cared for others.}}
*
*
* [[Villain Ball]]: {{spoiler|Stabbing Yomikawa just to piss off Accelerator.}}
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Let's see: He fights with and defeats {{spoiler|
* [[The Worf Effect]]:
** When he fights Accelerator for the first time, {{spoiler|he's easily defeated.}}
** {{spoiler|When his original self is brought back in NT Volume 8, Othinus manhandles him with ease and forces him to obey her will.}}

Line 74 ⟶ 83:
:Voiced by [[Ami Koshimizu]]
The fourth Level 5 esper, and the leader of ITEM. Her power, Meltdowner, converts electrons into a highly destructive form of matter that exists somewhere between particles and waves. While [[Cool Big Sis|kind and gentle]] to her friends, she has a unpleasant [[Ax Crazy|personality]] once angered. {{spoiler|In Volume 15, she kills Frenda and attempts to kill Shiage, only to be defeated and badly injured. She returns in Volume 19, only to be defeated by Shiage yet again. Her third and final appearance as a villain is in Volume 22, where she's defeated yet again. This time, however, he's sick of it all and spares her life. Shizuri undergoes a [[Heel Face Turn]] and goes back to being the leader of ITEM.}}
-----
*
* [[Ax Crazy]]: When she’s pissed off:
{{quote|{{spoiler|"Gya ha ha!! Oh, now where to start burning her? Maybe I should roast that little face of hers. Or maybe I should press against her pink ***** and burn it pitch black!! Hey, what do you think, Hamazura? You’d better come out, cause I’m gonna burn her into a black mummy! Or can you still get off to fucking a hole like that!?"}}
Line 85 ⟶ 94:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: While she's a [[Cool Big Sis]] to her teammates, offending her is a bad idea. Pissing her off reveals [[Ax Crazy|a very different side of her]]. {{spoiler|[[It Got Worse|It gets worse]] when she turns into a psychopath after losing half of her face.}}
* [[Blood Knight]]: Battle-hungry? Check. Unnerving temper? Check. Obsesses over {{spoiler|Shiage}} after their fight? '''Huge''' check.
*
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: {{spoiler|“I’m the girl who killed your sister. Nice to meet you.” -- said casually to ''Frenda's little sister''.}}
**
{{quote|'''
''' {{spoiler|Shiage}}''': "[[Precision F-Strike|FUCK!]]" }}
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: To those she considers friends.
* [[Cute and Psycho]]: Her default personality.
*
*
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Her form of payback.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Along with the rest of ITEM, in Episode 12 of ''Railgun''. In the manga version of that scene, there was a completely irrelevant conversation that had nothing to do with the plot.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To
* [[Evil Laugh]]: "Gya-ha-ha!!"
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: Her entire method of attack revolves around these.
** [[Beam Spam]]: Carries special silicon cards to facilitate this effect.
**
**
**
** [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: The end result of her power.
*
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]
*
*
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Huh, now why do her tropes and voice sound so frighteningly [[Eureka Seven|familiar]]?
* [[Implacable Man|Implacable Woman]]. Seems to be the Level 5 most fond of this, especially during her first fight with Shiage. {{spoiler|This backfires when Shiage proves she's [[Not So Invincible After All]].}}
* [[It's Personal]]: In NT Volume 6, {{spoiler|she helps Accelerator against Teitoku because she sees the latter as partly responsible for disturbing Frenda's grave.}}
* [[Knight Templar]]: The kindest way of describing her.
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: Cheerfully greets the family of those she has murdered by introducing herself as the murderer.
* [[Laser Guided Tykebomb]]: Over the course of numerous fights with Shiage, he comes to the realization that
*
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: In NT2 she says that she's the level 5 in charge of sex appeal so she wears ''see through'' underwear.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: She's a Level 5 esper with an ability dubbed "Meltdowner"...
Line 123 ⟶ 133:
"If you fuck up even slightly, you fly into a rage and won’t accept it even if you complete the game."
"When someone like that fucks up even slightly, they find another goal in order to write it off. When you aren’t able to get 100% accuracy, you instead go for a high score and are satisfied with that." }}
* [[The Power of Love]]: {{spoiler|In NT Volume 6, she claims that she's stronger than ever before due to her love for Shiage.}}
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: While she becomes more of a [[Cluster F-Bomb|Cluster F Bomber]] over time, enough to be the second most foul-mouthed Level 5 after [[Sir Swearsalot|Accelerator]]. Her truly serious [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|F Strikes]] still make you fear for your life, along with [[Bring My Brown Pants|whoever she uses them on]]. Example:
{{quote|"Hamazura’s body slid across the roof. He managed to stop himself and then looked around in surprise. He saw
From a few hundred meters away,
Hamazura couldn't hear her voice, but he understood it from the movements of her mouth.
'I – am – going – to – [[Precision F-Strike|fucking]] – [[Oh Crap|kill]] – you.'
From atop the train, Hamazura took in what
'…!!'
All of the hair on Hamazura’s body stood on end." }}
* [[Pride]]: Her biggest fault is her pride. It’s because of this that {{spoiler|Mikoto survived their battle, leading to ITEM's downfall and her death/defeat by Shiage.}}
* [[Sanity Has Advantages]]: If she wasn't so insane, she would have {{spoiler|crushed Shiage easily without him being able to do the slightest thing about it}}. Or would never have {{spoiler|ended up fighting him}}. ''Or'' wouldn't have even {{spoiler|made an enemy of him in the first place}}. Sanity ''definitely'' has advantages.
* [[Shock and Awe]]: She can control electricity to a minor degree, to the point of being able to deflect Mikoto's lightning.
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: Her mouth is NOT as beautiful as the rest of her face.
* [[Skirt Over Slacks]]
* [[Slasher Smile]]: Though she is quite fond of [[Kubrick Stare|Kubrick Stares]], [[Psychotic Smirk|Psychotic Smirks]], and combinations of the three where applicable.
* [[Social Darwinist]]: Played straight until Volume 22, where she subverts this ''hard'' by lashing out at Academy City's "Parameter List", {{spoiler|a cost-control mechanism that restricts funds to unworthy (read: Level 0) students (read: Hamazura) and allocates those funds to more powerful and promising espers.}}
*
* [[Willfully Weak]]: It's strongly implied {{spoiler|during the fight with Shiage}} that she's actually quite a bit more powerful than Mikoto, except she lacks immunity to her own power and as such has to limit herself. So she holds back on a large part of her raw power because if she truly went all-out with an attack, the recoil would kill her.

The mysterious fifth Level 5 Esper. Being the second Level 5 to attend Tokiwadai, her followers and
-----
* [[Amplifier Artifact]]:
* [[Anchored Ship]]: {{spoiler|She is definitely in love with Touma, but he doesn't remember her at all, and will never be able to remember her. This is due to him having retrograde and anterograde amnesia specific to her.}}
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: In
* [[Buxom Is Better]]: Which Mikoto grudgingly acknowledges, and also seemingly how she suspects that the Queen might not even be a middle-school student.▼
** However, later chapters and volumes have her subvert this. Her threatening behavior to Mikoto was because she (for justified reasons) didn't trust her at the time. It's also shown that Misaki treats the people she controls well, at one point even risking her life to fix an enemy's mind.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: She was first mentioned in the first volume of Index as someone who might have been able to fix Index's memory loss. Her recent{{when}} appearance in the ''Railgun'' manga may indicate that the author may have a role for her in the future.▼
▲* [[Buxom Is Better]]: Which Mikoto grudgingly acknowledges, and also seemingly how she suspects that
** {{spoiler|Mikoto considered asking her to fix Touma's memory loss, but changed her mind, not wanting to be in her debt.}}▼
* [[
▲*
▲**
* [[Crippling Overspecialisation]]: Her power is extremely effective on humans, but completely useless on machines or non-human animals.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Her hair and eyes are both gold.
* [[A Day In The Limelight]]: NT Volume 11, which details her past with Touma.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: She is usually referred to as the "Queen of Tokiwadai" rather than her actual name.
* [[Everyone Has Standards]]: She takes care of people under her control. She also refuses to read Touma's mind.
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
* [[The Faceless]]: Despite first being mentioned in the very first volume of Index, she never makes an official appearance until
* [[Fandom Rivalry]]: In-universe, there's a rivalry between her and Mikoto's fans.
* [[Foil]]:
** To Mikoto. Both are Level 5 espers who go to Tokiwadai, and also of the same age. Both of them have been involved in the city's dark side, due to their power. Mikoto's power over electricity allows her to control many forms of technology, which Misaki is entirely helpless against. {{spoiler|They also both fell in love with Touma after he saved them.}}
** To Seria. Both of them can exert great influence over the human mind, but Seria manages it without using her (presumably Level 0) esper ability. They're both seen as high-class beauties within their respective schools. {{spoiler|And again, they're both in love with Touma and are aware of his memory loss.}}
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: {{spoiler|Though she loves Touma, she can never be with him since he'll never be able to remember her. She stays out of his life (except when he ends up encountering her by chance), as trying to be with him would only hurt them both.}}
* [[I Will Wait for You]]: {{spoiler|While she knows there's little chance of it happening, she's hopeful that Touma will someday be able to remember her.}}
* [[I Work Alone]]: Due to her paranoia, she is extremely reluctant to work with people not under her control. She only agrees to work with Mikoto {{spoiler|to save the Sisters or to help Touma.}}
* [[Magic Feather]]: She uses various kinds of remotes to focus her power. Each kind is assigned to a specific function, such as reading memories. This is because her power is so versatile that she wouldn't be able to do anything without limiting herself in this way.
* [[Memory Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Defeats Gensei Kihara this way. He also has access to Mental Out, along with many other esper abilities. She has the code that he needs to release Exterior's limiter, but she can only stop him from reading her mind as long as she remains conscious. Since Gensei has many other abilities, she wouldn't be able to hold him off for long. So she deliberately rewrites her own mind to switch her memories of the limiter release code and the self-destruct code, and removes her memory of doing so. When Gensei knocks her out and reads her mind, he accidentally inputs the self-destruct code, incapacitating himself.}}
* [[Ojou]]: According to Mikoto, she's the most [[Ojou]] of all the [[Ojou]]s at Tokiwadai, which really says something. She, however, subverts the traditional archetype by being quite frivolous, making silly poses, not caring for her weight, and saying cliché anime lines. It's just that she erases certain people's memories and that her fangirls don't say anything about it.
* [[Opera Gloves]]
* [[Properly Paranoid]]: She is always justifiably suspicious of everyone {{spoiler|except Touma.}}
* [[Secret Keeper]]: She's aware of Touma's memory loss. {{spoiler|She and Heaven Canceller are the only ones who know about the second instance of this.}}
* [[Sitcom Arch Enemy]]: With both Mikoto and Seria.
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: She's very much out of shape, due to over-reliance on her ability. When Mikoto jogs for a short distance, Misaki is exhausted trying to keep up. Touma repeatedly lampshades this as well.
* [[Story-Breaker Power]]: Her power may only work on the human mind, but it's extremely effective within this domain. She can add, change or remove memories, alter perceptions, easily and safely incapacitate people, read memories (not just from people, but also from anything they've touched), send telepathic messages, and control minds. Only other telepathic abilities (and Imagine Breaker, to an extent) are shown to be able to defend against her power. {{spoiler|And she's firmly on Touma's side. Understandably, they don't work together very often, as it would make his adventures far too easy.}}
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: She once started drowning in water less than a metre deep, that children were playing in.
* [[Telepathy]]: Academy City's most powerful telepath.
** [[Mind Manipulation]]: Seems to be her forte.
Line 169 ⟶ 200:
* [[Unknown Rival]]: Has no interest in any conflict with Mikoto, and the feeling’s mutual; it's their followers who are rivals, not them personally.
** [[Fandom Rivalry]]: An in-universe example of it.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: She often appends "power" or "ability" to the end of words.
* [[The Voiceless]]: Uses [[Brainwashing|mind-controlled]] proxies and her own followers whenever she needs to communicate.
* [[Wingding Eyes]]: She has stars in her eyes, possibly contact lenses. But considering this is a Japanese author who's writing this series, it could be natural...
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: A middle-schooler who could pass for a high-schooler or even a young adult. This is lampshaded in her first appearance by Mikoto.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: With [[Fetish Fuel|lace]].
