Is the twist for Ruri going to be she's not actually a middle schooler in Judgement and that's why she never showed up in the main story?

 

[Bootybug]

Well that's a creative POV from under the shirt.

She'd have graduated by the time the main story came around, no?

She'd still be in judgement though and I'm not sure how Kuroko would miss such a suspicious looking senpai. Also does Tokiwadai not have a high school division?

Scantily clad gal tits. Now what's the psychometrist gonna do with a treasure trove of thoughts and abilities?

Thanks for the chapter!

No, Tokiwadai is purely a middle school campus.
Tokiwadai is located on the Manabiya no Sono, a district with restricted access in Academy City containing dorms and schools for rich ladies (and other facilities like restaurants and shops). There's a total of 5 schools, so it wouldn't be weird to think some of them are high schools where Tokiwadai graduates would get into.

Even if Ruri is in Judgement, she would have no connections with Kuroko. Kuroko belongs to the 177th branch, while Ruri belongs to the 3rd branch in this arc. Being three years apart, and Ruri seemingly absent from Tokiwadai, it makes sense Kuroko wouldn't mention her.

I think the twist is that she really isn’t a middle schooler.

This is the greatest panel in manga history.

Some crazy angle on that underboob.

Pretty sure she is a third year so she going to graduate from Tokiwadai before we get to the current Railgun timeline.

It's really difficult to sympathise with this whole cliques business and that whole majesties thing. I feel like Mikoto couldn't care less, either.

Kuroko is actually in the 3rd branch, because Judgement members work for the school they are in, and Tokiwadai is the 3rd branch and Kuroko goes there. If Ruri graduated after this, it makes sense that Kuroko never sees her. However, if she is still in middle school and in Judgement in the main story line, it is kind of weird how they never mentions her.

Even the author himself confused the numbers and said Kuroko works on the 4th Branch instead of the 3rd, the corrected himself.

原作だと177支部は柵川中学内にあります。黒子は177支部に入り浸ってますが、本来は常盤台中学の風紀委員なので、常盤台中学の支部に所属しています（004支部）。 …ですがアニメだと設定が違って、177支部は外部の建物だし、黒子もここにいるんですよね。​

​

間違えた！003支部です。​

​

Question, though, was Kuroko working on the 3rd Branch and school disciplinaries working for the branches their schools are responsible for something that was set up BEFORE the Railgun anime started, or did Kamachi-sensei make that rule after the anime aired?

Because even in Railgun SS2 Kamachi-sensei had Kuroko and Uiharu working together, and that takes place before Index starts. Kuroko being part of the 3rd Branch seems like a retcom to me, if it wasn't set up before the anime started airing.

Judgement members work for the branch that belongs to their current school. However, this was a minor detail and the Railgun anime forgot about it, so they let Kuroko works all the time in 177th branch, which is the branch Uiharu is at.

And since the anime is so popular (much more than the novel and manga combined), the author just kind of ignored it and retcon that Kuroko works both in and out of her school. Which tbh seems pretty in character for her imo.
