The Occult World of Toaru Project (Index, Railgun, and Accelerator)

Introduction

If you are even slightly an otaku, you know that numerous anime series use the occult for inspiration. Starting with the iconic Neon Genesis Evangelion and proceeding to more modern like Fate’s Universe, the examples are so many I doubt I’ll ever watch them all. Nonetheless, I believe one title stands out regarding balancing fiction with actual magickal concepts. Made by JC Staff, that’s none other than my favorite Toaru-Project. After watching Toaru-Project about 10 times, I decided to break down parts of it as a student of the esoteric. I also got some inspiration for this from Gigguk, who uses his knowledge in electronic and electrical engineering to explain segments of the anime. So, let me introduce you to the world of Toaru-Project by discussing its setting and focusing on the series since I’m new to the manga. 

What is Toaru-Project

Toaru-Project or Toaru is a light novel by Kazuma Kamachi. Toaru-Project was adopted as an anime in the early 2000s. It is presented into three different stories intertwining with each other. (Index, Railgun, and Accelerator). Toaru-Project takes place in Academy City, a unique research-and-student city located west of Tokyo. Academy City is few decades more advanced than the rest of the world. It is home to Magick and Science. It is also the home of Crowley, whom we’ll discuss in a moment. Academy City is the “Biggest” and Baddest” training facility for magicians and espers with supernatural psychic abilities. On some occasions, espers and magicians are in conflict. Usually, those groups join forces to defend their community and Academy City.

The Dark Side of Academy City

Academy City also has its dark side. Much of its progress is based on experimenting with living children and clones, leaving them dead or handicapped. Also noteworthy is that unless they are an esper, magician, or part of the governing board, a person is nothing in the city’s hierarchy, despite your intellect, talent, and work ethic. 

Magick and Science

Academy City is the perfect symbol of magick and science. This brings us to its sworn enemy, the Roman Catholic church, representing the Abrahamic religions. Since the beginning of time, organised religion has chased magicians and scientists. According to modern occultists like Lon Milo Duquette, that was why esoteric societies kept their practices secret. On the other hand, magick and science were actually one in the past. Examples include people like John Dee and Giordano Bruno. Magick and science were both given to humans by Thoth, Hermes Trismegistus. As Dr. Christopher Hyatt, who was quite a bit of both (a magician and scientist), liked to say:

The second to address here is the dynamic between magicians and espers. Around the 18th minute of Episode 2 of Index (season 1), we learn that magick was invented by people who recognized and wanted to possess esper powers but couldn’t. Hence, Magick wasn’t meant to be used by people with such a gift. And when that happens, they get side effects like Tsuchimicado in Index season 1, Episode 17. Unlike psychic abilities, which are a biological predisposition to further develop with the help of science, magick is a skill you must develop.

Magick and Science vs Religion

Later (in the season), Crowley explains that the world remains safe because science and magick not fighting each other. Contrasting to organized religions based on passivity, obedience, and unquestionable dogmas, magick and science test things empirically via experiments. The difference (in the real world) is that while scientists tend to get “objective results” morе often, magicians’ conclusions and outcomes are usually subjective and even non-identical. Both magick and science teach their student to be skeptical, actively questioning whether something is or isn’t. Toaru Project depicts that through the training of espers.

Magicians and Espers

The second to address here is the dynamic between magicians and espers. In Episode 2 of Index (season 1), we learn that Magick was invented by people who recognised and wanted to possess esper powers but couldn’t. Hence, Magick wasn’t meant to be used by people with such a gift. And when that happens, they get severe side effects. An example is Tsuchimicado Motoharu in Index season 1, Episode 17. Psychic abilities are more of a biological predisposition to further develop with the help of science. Magick is a skill you must develop. Later, Crowley explains that the world remains safe because science and Magick not fighting each other. Essentially, that is what Academy City is all about.

Both magick and science teach their student to be skeptical, actively questioning whether something is or isn’t. In the anime, this is depicted in the training of espers.

Crowley’s Ultimate Weapon

This brings us to Crowley’s ultimate weapon, who is one of the main characters. Named Touma Kamijou, the latter can cancel the magical and esper powers (temporarily). Also noteworthy is Crowley calling himself a scientist in the same season’s episode 21. I believe this is inspired by a famous saying of real-life Crowley:

To those wanting to learn more about that, I recommend Robert Anton Wilson’s lectures on Crowley and the article by Rodney Orpheus, The Method of Science, the Aim of Religion.

Index — The Living Grimoire Library

One of the main characters, Index, is a little nun with an exceptional photographic memory and Jupiter’s sigil on her tongue. Index’s mind is divided into two; 15% handle day-to-day living, whereas the other 85% comprise an enormous magickal library containing 103 000 grimoires. This includes The Book of the Dead, which I assume is the Egyptian Book of the Dead covering methods for preserving consciousness after physical death and thus obtaining immortality.

Grimoires

In real life, grimoires are basically the original books on magick. Also called “spellbooks,” grimoires include instructions on charging objects and conjuring spirits. Grimoires are associated with the times before orders, like the Golden Dawn. Originating in France, grimoire magick can be compared to Harry Potter’s since it mainly employs spells and words of power instead of ritual techniques. This is what the term grimoire essentially means. It is a textbook with texts the operator pronounces to obtain particular ends. The Key of Solomon is often considered the most famous grimoire in real life.

Episode 3 of this same season notes that grimoires could be dangerous. Styil Magnus, another main character,  notes that grimoires are full of unconventional ideas altering the “basic laws of nature.” This reminds me of some authors’ recommendations to not mess with the grimoires before having proficiency in working with the elements. Considering that Styil defines the grimoires as a “different and toxic world.” That makes me recall Don Webb comparing the black arts to “toxic chemicals” requiring extra caution. This is somewhat depicted in Index 3, where a Toltec sorceress uses a Toltec grimoire, which starts consuming her mind and body.

Invoking Elementals

Later in the same season, Index engages another person invoking an undine to heal her wounds. The 4 magical elements are one of the first students of magick to learn. Governed by the 5th element, Spirit or Ether, the 4 elements rule 4 different kinds of beings, known as elementals. Fire rules the salamanders, Air the sylphs, Water the undines, and Earth the gnomes. More about these creatures can be found in the works of Eliphas Levi, who started the grand occult revival lasting 2 centuries.

To perform the invocation, Index assigns some objects inside the room to herself and the other operator. She gives those a different meaning for the time being. Then Index enters a meditative state, enchanting and visualizing the Angel. Index uses a method outlined in new age books and Damien Echols’ Angels and Archangels. She clarifies that an invocation is a thought form created by the wills of the participants. I believe this hints into Crowley’s and Dion Fortune’s definition of magick.

Supposedly, that also hints at the truth that Angels, demons, and intelligencies are also components of one’s own psyche. The reason for calling the Angel is that such invocations move top to bottom due to spirits’ hierarchical order. A common way to summon up an undine (in real life) is by employing the Supreme or Greater Invoking Pentagram rituals. They attune the space to the corresponding element, which in such cases is water. More on that can be found in virtually any book on Golden Dawn and Thelema, such as on Scott Stenwick’s incredible blog.

Crowley and Above the Abyss

We get the first introduction of Crowley at around the 18th minute of the same season’s 6th episode. That is in a place full of technologies sustaining his health. More critical is that Crowley is positioned with his head down as if hanging from somewhere unknown. IMHO, JC Staff didn’t bother with this detail to merely give Crowley an eccentric presence; the reason is that as the Magus of the Aeon of Horus, Crowley achieved the second biggest task of the western magick, crossing the Abyss. He claimed the grade of Magus or 9=2, associated with the 2nd sephira of the Tree of Life, Chokmah. 

All opposites are reconciled above the Abyss, and everything looks aversely below it. Often this is the logical explanation of why so many people misunderstood the bible and the teachings of Christ. The reason is that the words of the Magus are often taken the wrong or opposite way. Above the Abyss, the black becomes white; the white black.

This also reminds me that his look in the anime is quite the opposite of his actual look. Only exceptional magicians can cross the Abyss, let alone achieve 9=2. When they do it, they change tremendously. In fact,  they may become something entirely different and the opposite of what people know them to be. More on that is in Lon Milo Duquette’s fascinating Thoth Tarot lecture.

Runes

In the same episode, viewers are presented with the idea that Runes are the foundation of Old English. In real life, it is broadly accepted that Qabalah is the fountain of the whole Western Tradition, which heavily infuses the anime. Practitioners mainly spread this notion based on the Golden Dawn system. The most iconic example is Mystical Qabalah, where Dion Fortune identifies Qabalah as the Yoga of the West and ancient Hebrew as the Western counterpart of Sanskrit.

On the contrary, other occultists object that the original Western Magick has its roots in the runes and the Nordic Traditions. The argument is that, unlike Qabalah, which has been transported, runes originated in Europe. And that is a dynamic I believe Index’s creators wanted to hint at with this mentioning of the runes and old English. To those interested in the runes, I suggest the books and lectures of Dr. Stephen E. Flowers.

Personal Reality

Episode 12 of Index season 1 unveils the root of all esper abilities. Excluding physical predispositions, this essentially is the power of belief. To explain espers power, Miss Komoe elaborates on Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) in the context of Shrodinger’s theory. She describes how absolute belief alters reality, especially when added to actual psychic abilities. Espers can separate themselves from reality, creating one strictly for themselves. Changing the very fabric of their own micro-worlds, they use that to alter the objective. 

Prometheus Rising

In the real-world, variations of this concept appear in different books. One example is RAW’s Prometheus Rising Chapter 1, The Thinker and The Prover. The section elaborates on how our brains are divided into a thinking and a proving brain. As long as the thinking brain “thinks,” or better yet, “believes” something unquestionably, the proving brain will eventually find ways to prove and turn it into existence. RAW explains that this is actually how scientific discoveries are born. A similar notion is also found in the works of the biggest names of the New Thought movement, including Nevill Goddard.

In the next episode, Miss Komoe brings the notion of RSPK оr Recurrent Spontaneous PsychoKinesis syndrome or “poltergeisting.” The teacher notes on Academy City’s methods to help espers separate themselves from the objective. This is how espers develop their abilities. Only when capable of doing that, they can “awaken” and begin creating those separate realities. On the contrary, when this separation results from stress or trauma, RSPK occurs, and espers use their abilities unconsciously and destructively. 

As Above So Below

This also conveys the principle of “As Above So Below, As Within So Without,” which is the most basic magickal formula. It teaches that changing the macrocosm is only possible after changing the microcosm or internal reality. This reminds me of Don Webb’s definition of magick.

Quantum Psychology

Episode 8 of Railgun season 1 also examines Personal Reality. Another esper teacher explains to a class they should explore quantum theory after understanding personal reality. The teacher further notes how personal reality and Quantum theory are connected because both are rooted in probability. In the real world, Robert Anton Wilson explains that best in Quantum Psychology, part 4, Shroedinger’s Cat, and Einstein’s Mouse. RAW points that we live in multiple reality tunnels . By switching from one to another, we change the world around us.  RAW also explains that those of us who are most receptive to placebos using the power of belief to affect their body also tend to be most perceptive of “synchronicities.” Supposedly, espers might be regarded as exceptionally talented in doing just that.

Egregores

AIM Burst

An AIM diffusion field is the phenomenon of espers involuntarily emitting invisible energy through their bodies. Suffering the consequences of using a performance enhancer, 10 000 low-level espers end up in a nightmarish delirium in Railgun Season 1 Episode 12. When that happens, their minds and thoughts become connected in a network, forming a new entity that threatens the city.

Regarded as AIM burst, this implicates a concept best explained in the book by Mark Stavish, Egregors. An egregor, is an autonomous psychic entity (or thought-form) created by a group mind. If an egregor gets enough sustenance, it can take life on its own, turning into an independent deity. Such an entity can be parasitic and destructive. Egregors can be created and sustained accidentally. This happens in Railgun Season 1, where the minds of those espers get trapped in a network by the performance enhancer.

Artificial Angel

Egregors can also greatly benefit people’s advancement and life. An example of this is first encountered in Index Season 1, Episodes 22, 23, and 24. This is in the face of the “artificially-created” Angel Hyoka Kazakiri. Described by Kamijo as a “physical manifestation of AIM diffusion fields,” and “compressed psychic energy,” Hyoka is only apparent to her friends, the main characters. Nonetheless, her power isn’t only in their heads. Kazakir plays a crucial role in saving them in several conflicts. One of those is going against Gabriel in the last battle after being sent by Aiwass.

Toaru-Project and the Tree of Life

System of Rankings 

In the Angel Fall episode of Index, Kaori Kanzaki, a saint and one of the most powerful magicians in the anime, brings the term “Sephirothic Tree.” Kanzaki refers to the tree of life as a chart of rankings depicting the “souls of gods, angels, and humans.” In reality, the tree of life is the central schema of Qabalah and pretty much the entire Western tradition. It displays the manifestation and segments of the divine, such as the levels of consciousness of the human soul. It is said that the whole qabalistic wisdom is conveyed in this ageless glyph which has an endless number of applications. In terms of rankings, it displays the hierarchy of angels and other divine beings; it is also used by magickal orders to attribute their degrees to the spheres or sephiroth.

The tree of life has several divisions; one of them is the four qabalistic worlds encompassing the hierarchy Kanzaki mentions. Attributed to the 4 elements and the letters of YHVH, these worlds are: (1) the archetypal or Atziluth, which is most abstract and contains god names; (2) the creative or Briah to be the home of Archangels; (3) the formative, Yetzirah to be indwelled by angels, and (4) the one of Action, or the physical, Assiah which contains various spirits and “intelligencies.” More about that can be learned in my series on the glyph.

Angel Fall

In the same episode, there’s an angel fall of Gabriel, aka the power of god, triggered by the unintentional combination of objects in the same place at the same time. This is done by Kamijo’s father, who collected occult souvenirs and others. When he moved with his wife into a new house, he haphazardly ordered them, triggering the so-called angel fall. This reminds me of Crowley saying that all people do magick, even without knowing. So it’s best to actually learn how to do it properly.

Reaching Kether

Another appearance of the Tree of Life (Etz Chayim) is encountered in the single-season of Accelerator. The bad guy Rosenthal, who happens to be versed in Qabalah, mentions he had to die 1000 deaths to reach Kether. The highest in the tree, Kether, or crown, symbolizes divinity beyond duality. It is the one preceding all division and opposites, including “good and bad,” male and female, god and devil, etc. Orders like the Golden Dawn and A∴A∴ attribute Kether to the grade of Ipsisimus, which is sometimes considered impossible to reach by a living human.

Here, viewers also meet with the polarity of the tree. While the Sephiroth are perfectly balanced states of being, they have their shadows in the face of the so-called Qliphoth, representing imbalanced forces. The tree of death is the shadow self of the magician; it has to be reconciled and incorporated for the greater good. Also called “the shells,” the Qliphoth are often regarded as the negative reflection of the Sephiroth. According to some sources, this is only partially true since nothing is systematic or logical with the dark tree. It is said that there is no structure inside the tree of death, and thus there is no direct correspondence between the 2 diagrams.

The 4 Evil Creatures

This reminds me of how in Accelerator, Hishitaga, a scientist working for Academy City’s underworld, uses the help of necromancy to invoke the four evil creatures into mechanical bodies. In Chinese mythology, Hundun, Tauwu, Taotie, and Qiongqi represent chaos, ignorance, gluttony, and deviousness. They are counterparts to the 4 Celestial Animals: the Azure Dragon, the Vermillion Bird, the Black Tortoise, and the White Tiger. Within the anime, Hishitaga uses sigils and the powers of dead espers to embed those creatures’ forces in 4 killing machines.

Invocation of Fire and Leo and the Unicursal Hexagram

The Book of Crowley

In Index Season 1, Styil refers to the book of Crowley, but in reality, Crowley has many books. Far ahead of his time, he is often considered the most prominent name of Western occultism. One of his books is accepted as the golden standard for qabalistic correspondences magicians use when constructing their invocations; this book is 777. 

Zodiacal and Elemental Invocations

When saving Index, Styil and Kanzaki are about to invoke the fire element and the zodiacal sign of Leo, which is the fixed or cherubic sign of Fire. After sharing those plans with Kamijo, Styil draws a large unicursal hexagram on the wall. When seeing this, I always get a few associations. The first is that Fire’s properties include regeneration and recovery, such as healing illnesses and burning diseases.

Another common way to invoke constellations is by using the appropriate hexagrams and zodiacal signs. The Golden Dawn came up with their Traditional hexagrams, which are basically two triangles interjecting in various ways. However, Styil Magnus draws a unicursal hexagram. Invented by Giordano Bruno, the unicursal hexagram became Thelema’s key symbol, and Crowley adopted it for an entire hexagram formula. Now that is outlined on par with the classic Golden Dawn in books on Thelemic Magick.

The second is that, like planetary and sephirothic, zodiacal invocations usually utilize hexagrams. I’m saying “usually” because the Golden Dawn offers pentagrams to invoke zodiacal sings. The Supreme Invoking Ritual of Pentagram of Fire employs spirit active and Fire elemental pentagrams, such as the sigils of ether and Leo. More on this can be found in the Complete Golden Dawn by Isreal Regardie, Sandra Tabatha, and Chic Cicero.

Given this, the unicursal hexagram can be used for invoking Leo. All required is using the appropriate solar version and the Leo sigil in the center. This describes Leo’s version of the Greater Invoking Hexagram ritual. The rite is used to tune the field of operation, so further conjurations of the corresponding entities can be performed. Within the anime, the Unicursal hexagram is encountered in various scenes. An example is when Misaka fights Mugino in Railgun S Episode 8. 

Toaru-Project and The Elements

The concept of the elements is found in several places in the different seasons. One is in Toaru Kagaku Accelerator when Crowley is mentioned several times as the ruler of the 5 Elements district. More exciting, IMHO, is how the different magickal societies order the elements when doing magick. Although some people might object, I believe we can all agree there are two main ways to place the elements in a circle when working microcosmically. Outlined in 99% of the books on Western magick and employed by Wiccan groups, the first is the Winds model.

The Winds Model

The Winds model places Air in the east, Fire in the south, water in the west, and earth in the north. It is used within the anime by the Roman Catholic church and their “inner” organization, “Right Seat of God.” Established by the pope, the organization has 4 members representing the great archangels. The members’ names are Vento of the front, Fiamma of the right, Aqua of the rear, and Terra of the left. When working with a pentagram formula using the winds model, magicians face east, tracing air pentagram in the front, fire pentagram in the south, and water and earth pentagrams in the west and north.

Elemental Qualities

In episode 23 of Index Season 1, a sorceress called Sherry Cromwell cast a spell in the subway by swapping out the places of Fire and Air. Much more sense-making, this order places the elements based on their qualities and coexistence in nature. Each “element” has two out of four main “qualities.” Those are hot, dry, cold, and moist. To be placed next to each other, a couple of elements need to share one mutual quality. Fire and Air are hot, Air and Water are moist, Water and Earth are cold, and Earth and Fire are dry. This depicts Aristotle’s periodic table existing centuries before Golden Dawn started doing things the other way around.

Toaru-Project and The Book of the Law

In episode 2 of Index season 2, the viewers are presented with the notion that the Book of the Law is a grimoire that has to be deciphered with the help of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The catch is that the Book of the Law tricks everyone into decoding it differently.

In real life, Liber AL vel Legis was dictated to Crowley in Cairo in April 1908 by his Holy Guardian Angel Aiwass. The book comprises Thelema’s central philosophy, “Do What Thou Wilt.” Interestingly, (real life) Crowley forbade deciphering and analyzing the book, instructing that every person should do that by themselves, finding their own truths.

Transcoding  the Book of the Law

The Book of the Law also declares the beginning of the Aeon of Horus, the conquering child, which succeeds those of Isis and Osiris and is broadly accepted as the one we currently live in. I’m saying “broadly” because some individuals argue that we live in the Aeon of Ma’at, whereas others in that of Set. An example of the latter is Donn Webb and Michael A. Aquino — who actually published their own transcription of Liber Al Vel Legis under the name of Overthrowing the Old Gods, Understanding Aleister Crowley’s The Book of the Law.

The Hebrew Alphabet

The Hebrew Alphabet, has an enormous significance for the whole Western Tradition. Each letter is a path on the Tree of Life and one of the 22 Tarot Major Arcana. Hebrew letters are part of (virtually) all GD and Thelemic rituals and are attributed to elements, planets, zodiacal signs, and various qualities.

Adonai

The word Adonai means: “My Lord.” It is used by traditional Jewish Qabalists for turning to god. The hermetic magician uses Adonai when speaking to their HGA. In Solomonic magick, it is common for the operator to convince a demon that they are “god.” As they say: “as long as the magician’s link with the above is true and sure, so too is the demon’s link with the magician…” I believe a similar dynamic is depicted in Accelerator episode 3. In the same, the necromancer Esther Rosenthal invokes a “pseudo soul” within the body of a dead esper. Serving and fighting for the necromancer, that character (Hirumi) calls Rosenthal Adonai whenever speaking to her.

In real life, Esther is the main character of the book of Esther, which is part of the Tenachk and the Old Testament. Rosenthal means “valley of roses” and has German and Eshkenazi Jewish origins. And this name might be inspired by Christian Rosenkreuz.

Dragon and Aiwass

In the Toaru-Project, Aiwass makes his presence as a mysterious force called DRAGON. When explaining what he is, Aiwass regards himself as an “insignificant little being.”The draconian tradition is a left-hand magickal philosophy heavily inspired by mythical dragons and serpents in the real world. It works with dragons and serpents as symbols. It also works with deities like Lucifer, Lillith, Set, and others like Leviathan and Tiamat, who are actual dragons. The old draconian gods are associated with chaos, destruction, and the raw forces of nature. Within this tradition, the term “dragon” really doesn’t refer to an entity or spirit. Instead it regards to a single or several forces forming a current. Thus such invocation implies making a specific current run through your life.

Another and more common attribution to the draconian force is the potential for development — Kundalini. Emphasizing personal experience, the draconian system encourages aspirants to customize their own practice, making it unique. You can learn about that in Asenath Mason’s works, especially her The Draconian Ritual and the Website of the Temple of Ascending Flame. In contrast, Dragon Magick doesn’t require working with the mentioned deities. Dragon Magick prioritizes working with draconic entities and elemental powers. Some sources describe dragons as somewhat similar to elementals but with much denser energy. 

5=6

5 is the pentagram or the microcosm, and 6 is the divine or the macrocosm. The 5=6 grade of orders like the Golden Dawn or AA corresponds to the sphere of Tiphereth. This is the first and most significant goal of the Western Magician, obtaining “knowledge and conversation of” their Holy Guardian Angel. A notion consistent throughout the anime is that Academy City’s top espers are 5, and they strive to become level 6, achieving ultimate power.

I believe this is somewhat indirectly depicted in Episode 25 of Index season 3. There Accelerator, the most powerful of those level 5s, understands there’s no longer a need to be a villain. Invoking the divine light through a sigil and instructions Aiwass gave him, he realizes his true nature and purpose, as it happens with many magicians when obtaining their 5=6. Recognizing his divinity, Accelerator finds out he’s part of the ineffable, beyond good and evil, magick and science.

A Vessel

On the other hand, there’s also the notion that not all espers can achieve a “stable level 6.” In Railgun T, Gensei Kihara, a scientist who conducts deadly experiments, attempts a “level 6 shift” on Mikoto Misaka, the third-ranked of the top 5 espers. Although unsuccessful, the idea of this attempt is to make Misaka a “vessel for the power” of her numerous clones via the Misaka Network. This is interesting because, in an actual 5=6 ceremony, the candidate becomes a vessel for the light of their Angel.

Russia

Approaching its climax, the anime focuses on World War III involving the Roman Catholic Church with its corrupted right seat of god, Russia, and Academy City with its allies. Fiamma of the right, a member of the Right Seat of God who operates through the power of Michael, attempts to usurp the other elements. He does that by manipulating Nikolay Tolstoy, the bishop of the Russian Orthodox church, getting Russia to attack Academy City. Besides the battleground for all those battles, Russia is also where peace is restored. This partly happens through the collaboration of some of the main characters and the local occult organizations.

Peace

I also don’t think this is by coincidence. According to Gary Lachman, Russia is the only place where seemingly opposing spiritual ideas might co-exist without any issue. Viewing Russia as one “organic entity stretching throughout the whole continent,” in his book The Return of Holy Russia, Lachman elaborates on Russia’s spiritual truths and how its people will play a role in the future of humanity which is somewhat hinted in the anime since some actually help the main characters.

Final Words

Mixing spiritual concepts, cutting edge-science, and fiction that is yet to be invented, Toaru-Project provides exceptional entertainment for occultists, especially Thelemites. Making you resonate with the characters, Toaru-Project sucks you into its universe, which you want to explore and research. Honestly, I don’t know what you’ve been doing if you’re a practitioner who loves anime but never heard of it. Toaru-Project combines epic battles with deeply touching scenes, like those with Dolly and the Misaka Sisters in Railgun. It also communicates the importance of camaraderie, friendship, and community.
