good lord... NT has gone on for 8 years which really isn't that long in hindsight

Gatchanko!
but it feels like forever

"Kamijou Touma, who won on thin ice against Coronzon receives a reverent welcome in Windsor Castle from Index, Mikoto, and Misaki."

"See the end of the New Testament!"

Gatchanko!
everyone is so confused since NT 22's ending was such a dramatic cliffhanger
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/7602588-medium69842657.gif)
Gatchanko!
looks like Part 3 is all but confirmed at this point

Gatchanko!
I wonder what the "Reverse" in the title will stand for

Also Miki says the next challenge for the Toaru Series and Index is surpassing Guin Saga.
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/7602588-medium69842657.gif)
Gatchanko!
The longest volume series ever.......... that ended at 130 volumes

Gatchanko!
we're already at 77 if you count side stories and everything else, so halfway there????

77?! it doesn't feel like that many yet

also, wow, Touma in a suit

I need all the dapper touma art

More info... This volume will be 456 pages (WEW)

and more interview stuff

Regarding Index III, the staff really really wanted to finish off OT. They thought it was very unfortunate that the length was insufficient but it was very important that they got it all done.
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/7602588-medium69842657.gif)
Gatchanko!
And regarding NT anime, first is the Accel anime and Railgun S3. Then after that they'll be talking about NT anime. Miki absolutely wants it done and continued fan support is very important.

And if the series reaches 108 volumes, then Kamachi said he wants to return to the foreshadowing of Touma visiting Stiyl about his future in the high school parody novel.
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/7602588-medium69842657.gif)
Gatchanko!
Basically, that was all about Touma being unsure what to do after high school and various characters come up to him saying that they'll need his help resolving various incidents
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/7602588-medium69842657.gif)
Gatchanko!
and Stiyl and Kanzaki want to recruit him into Necessarius. Which would be a pretty solid future of him since he's got tons of magicians in his corner there and 2/3 of the incidents he solves in magic related

if they wanted to finish off Index III they could have (gasp) done three cours
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/10466749-medium11766024.gif)
curieosity。
also hmmm 456 pages is a little longer than NT6, which was 445 (I checked my copy)
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/7602588-medium69842657.gif)
Gatchanko!
It really sounds like they were ripping off a bandage when it came to OT, so they rushed it
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/7602588-medium69842657.gif)
Gatchanko!
Sounds like this one is going to be a doozy
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/10466749-medium11766024.gif)
curieosity。
alternately, maybe JC. Staff just doesn't do tri-cour stuff. or there could have been budget issues
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/10466749-medium11766024.gif)

I don't think I have ever seen anything besides 12 or 24 ep seasons from them before now
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/7602588-medium69842657.gif)
Gatchanko!
I think the last time that happened was with... Utena?
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/7602588-medium69842657.gif)
Gatchanko!
That was 39 episodes

Also Kamachi's thoughts on the heroic differences between Touma and Accelerator.

Gatchanko!
"Kamijou Touma and Accelerator are two contrasting main characters. Touma is like a grandma from Osaka. While disregarding personal space, the grandma comes in, solves the problem and comes out. I think that's very similar to how Touma acts."
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/7602588-medium69842657.gif)
Gatchanko!
"On the flip side, I think of Accelerator as a delinquent from the city. Because he hides his true intentions with his face (honor), you can't understand what he's thinking. Hence these two characters are heroes of two different extremes."

Gatchanko!
Then Hamazura is supposed to be the middle ground of both
