Episode Title:
Absolute Power (Level 6).
Episode Description:
Komoe demonstrates extrasensory perception to Index and Aisa, based on Schrödinger's theory using a chocolate box as a prop. In the past, Mikoto had attracted a group of doctors, who told her that her ability may help people with paralysis, only to later learn about her DNA being used to create clones for the military in Academy City and was horrified to witness how her Sisters were used to fight Accelerator. Tōma confronts Mikoto about the experiment, where 20,000 clones of Mikoto would be used in lieu of 128 exact duplicates of her to fight against Accelerator in specific locations to advance him to Level 6. Mikoto feels helpless for being unable to stop the experiment, since a research center, pinpointed on her map as an X mark, would be created after each one she destroys. Mikoto believes that sacrificing herself is the best solution to save her Sisters because the scientists no longer have Tree Diagram, which Index earlier destroyed when St. George's Sanctuary was knocked off course, to recalculate the values for the experiment. As Tōma tries to talk her way out of considering death as her only option, a frustrated Mikoto shocks him over and over again. Tōma is somehow able to get up each time, eventually moving Mikoto to tears. Tōma passes out while trying to think of alternatives toward ending the experiment.
