I want to know how Kuroko and Kiyoshi's relation ship will end as. Since it has been said since forever that Kuroko bullied Mikoto's old roomate out of her room, I just assumed it was just another crazy posh borderline lesbian teleporter shenaningan. This is super interesting, the old friend who cares a lot for Mikoto friend but has to betray her because of her circumstances vs the newcomer who we know will be Mikoto's best friend but still doesn't have any friendship with her. These are the kind of things that make me love this series.

So, basically Kuroko has a hard time fighting Kiyoshi because Kuroko doesn't want to risk Kiyoshi's life or health.

Musujime Awaki, eat your heart out.

 

[bookwurm]

Kuroko's gotta have some insane core strength to pull off that mid-air nearly horizontal with the feet planted into the wall maneuver.

Thanks for the update

 

[Kampfarsch]

No. The steam is a debuff to Kuroko's transportation. She literally can't see more than a foot ahead.

 

[Vampiricsloth]

i wonder how long this flashback/in the past arc is supposed to last. its been going on for ages.

She's teleporter. She's overpowered anyway. But the effect is vastly reduced when she needs to be considerate. Otherwise she could always teleport a metal spike inside Kiyoshi's body cavity. We saw Kuroko having an opportunity to teleport herself during their fight. She could have teleported the spike instead. Or she could teleport Kiyoshi herself 500 meters above ground. Now, apparently Kiyoshi might actually be able to land by using jets of steam, although I'm not sure of that and Kuroko probably isn't either, so she might consider it lethal instead. But even if Kiyoshi could do it, would she still be able to fly like a bird? If she couldn't, Kuroko would have plenty of time to deal with her.

 

[YamiryuuZero]

Oh, I'm guessing this is when Mikoto shows up and saves her!
Next chapter we're gonna see how Kuroko falls in love.

 

[Jakind]

When she stopped midair I thought she teleported in place repeatedly which could be a cool tech unless that counts like teleporting into yourself.

 

[BobBob]

Man, ToAru esper fights always go hard. Bless the CQC.

Kuroko probably doesn't have the ability to teleport that quickly. But yeah it'd be cool if she did that

Well yes. Why would Kuroko use lethal force, she's in Judgement not the American police force.

 

[Kaarme]

Well yes. Why would Kuroko use lethal force, she's in Judgement not the American police force.

That's exactly what I said in my first comment. Not that the American cops would be the only ones in the world that would shoot at a violently resisting offender. In fact the cops from every country would, except for those in the UK. Because the UK coppers don't carry guns. But don't forget she's fighting against someone collaborating with a real terrorist. Kiyoshi escaping could lead to more wide-spread damage, for all Kuroko knows. So, the stakes are higher than just Kiyoshi or Kuroko alone.
