vs. 5th place, food bee manipulation

Mental manipulation doesn’t work on a cutting board!

Since we don’t know the sixth person’s identity or abilities and there is no way to compare them, let’s start with the fifth. In “Astral Buddy”, a spin-off of “To Aru Kagaku no Railgun”, the fifth person with psychic powers, Manojyo Shokuhachi, has used her ability on Gengita.

Shokuhachi’s ability is “psychological seizure (mental out)”. It is the pinnacle of mental abilities, and it is the ability to do all kinds of things related to the ‘mind’, including memory manipulation, brainwashing, and the amplification and erasure of thoughts.

When Kakita was brainwashed by it, he stopped it once, but to his surprise, he was able to break the bee’s brainwashing by himself. He said he was good at it, and of course it was due to his ability.

The detailed theory is still unclear, but does this mean that he has forcibly regained control of the water and bioelectricity in his body? If that is possible, then the ability of the bee to eat is not as good as Mikoto’s for the grinding board.

What if a grinding board and a bee fought…?

Since bumblebees have no physical abilities at all, if it were a one-on-one battle, the bumblebees would definitely outnumber the sharpeners. Of course, in an actual battle, the bee is able to control a large number of people, including high level ability users, at will, so it wouldn’t be an instant decision for the bee to win even if Gakkenban’s psychological grip doesn’t work.

However, it’s not quite clear whether he can take on the sharpened board by controlling those people. If the fifth and seventh ranked player seriously clashed with each other, the fifth ranked player wouldn’t be able to get away with it either!

vs. 3rd place, Misaka Mikoto

Knock down the blitz!

『超電磁砲』の大覇星祭編にて、美琴は暴走状態に陥ります。ただでさえ10億ボルトの電撃を自在に操る彼女ですが、そのときの火力は通常時の数十倍。人間など容易に消し飛ぶはずの威力です。
しかし、削板はそれを素手でいとも簡単にはたき落としています。

Catching a super-electromagnetic cannon in your teeth!

Also, Gengita once showed the hijinks of catching Mikoto’s special move, the medal of the super-electromagnetic cannon, with her teeth.

This one is depicted in “Proof of the Existence of a Certain Vending Machine”, which is included in the booklet “Fake Booklet: The Hypothetical Railgun” that accompanies the special edition of “Toaru Kagaku no Railgun” Volume 5. It’s vague as to whether it can honestly be taken as a legitimate history of the “To Aru” series, given that it’s not the original author’s work, but rather a “pseudoscript”.

However, looking at the recklessness of the shaving board we’ve seen so far, it’s probably safe to assume that it can do this much.

Of course, Mikoto’s greatest weapon lies in the applicability of her fighting skills via electricity, so it can’t be said that shaving-board is stronger based on these things alone. However, if the two clash, it would certainly not result in a “third place’s overwhelming victory”.

他の超能力者との相性は？

今のところ削板が対峙した超能力者は第五位の食蜂、第三位の美琴だけですが、他の超能力者と戦った場合はどうなるのでしょうか？

How does it work with other psychics?

What if the grinding board fights with the second place, Governor Kakihane?

The second-ranked Governor Kakihane’s “Unmanifest Matter (Dark Matter)” is the ability to create matter that does not exist in this world. When the ability is used, fairy-tale white wings appear from the back, but this is the substance which can withstand Mikoto’s super-electromagnetic gun.

Therefore, there is a possibility that shaving-board’s special move “amazing punch” may not work on Kakie. In addition, the wings made of “the substance on which the law that does not exist in this world works” has the offensive power that easily breaks the existing defense. It may not be easy to defend against this, even for a shaving board that has an inhuman durability.

However, it is not known how many times Kakie has appeared in the series, so it is not known what she can do and to what extent she can do with her abilities, or if she has any weaknesses. The winner will depend on whether or not there are gaps in Hake’s abilities that allow the attack of the grinding board to get through.

What if the shaving board and the first place, one-way traffic, fought?

出典 : Amazon.co.jp

No matter how much of a grinding board, it would not be easy to break a one-way “reflection”. Nevertheless, grinding plate is a man who is able to use his complex and subtle powers without being aware of it. Depending on his arithmetic, it may be possible for him to attack from the “unconscious vectors” that one-way traffic is “unconsciously accepting”.

Also, there is currently a time limit on how long One-way can use his abilities. If the shaving board is too tough, it is possible to win by continuing to stand up even after being attacked by the one-way traffic. Bioelectricity and blood flow manipulation may not work against the shaving board as mentioned above.

However, the essence of one-way traffic is the ability to analyze. If he catches the essence of your unconscious power, even if it’s a shaving board, he will indeed suffer defeat.

Summary

Although grinding plate is ranked as the seventh most powerful superpowered person, it is by no means the “weakest superpowered person”. Rather, in terms of strength, I think that Gengita is quite high among the Level 5 players.

I’m looking forward to seeing what Shaving Board’s abilities will be revealed in the future.
