| ~ Kamijou no Touma to Touma Kamijou |
The One who Purifies God and Slays Demons, better known as Kamijou no Touma, is one of the overarching antagonists of the A Certain Magical Index franchise.
He is a malicious entity who is the physical emanation of Touma Kamijou's power, emerging as a result of the damage from the conflict with Coronzon as well as his own regrets and subconscious wishes. Taking most of the Imagine Breaker and his other powers with it, as well as possessing memories which he had lost, the individual attempted to usurp Touma’s identity and assert himself as the “real” Touma Kamijou, becoming his arch-nemesis.
Like his original, he is voiced by Atsushi Abe in Japanese.
Appearance[]
His appearance is extremely identical to that of Touma Kamijou, with the only difference being that the entity has a faint pink and green light around his body. During the events at Windsor Castle, he wore a dark blue tuxedo. He initially manifested in the form of a triangular-shaped prism which emerged from Touma's detached right arm.
Personality[]
At first glance, the emanation behaves very similar to the original Touma Kamijou, with few differences setting them apart from one another. However, it's quickly revealed that this only belies a truly sinister character. In contrast to the original's benevolent nature, the other Touma is a textbook example of a psychopath: callous, manipulative, uncaring, and utterly ruthless, only seeking to exploit or control others for his own benefit, being the complete antithesis to Touma's altruism. Due to possessing all of the memories that Touma had lost, the entity is fully convinced that he is the real Touma Kamijou and displays great hatred towards the original.
The emanation is rather cocky and arrogant, often showing no signs of worry or concern, best seen when he smirked and says "look who finally showed up" when he was confronted by Touma in his dragon form. In addition to this, Kamijou no Touma isn't above being violent, as he smashed a wine bottle over Touma when the latter tried to convince his allies that he was the real one. He's also highly devious and sadistic, as he preys on people's insecurities for his own purposes and even takes enjoyment in their suffering. This is best shown when he manipulated Misaki Shokuhou into turning against her allies and side with him by appealing to the fact he remembers who she is compared with the original Touma, who doesn't. He also plays with Elizard's emotions by reminding her that she used Touma as a pawn during Carissa's coup and wonders aloud to her what'd happen if he were to orchestrate a crisis to rescue Princess Villian from, earning her affections.
Kamijou no Touma is also very selfish, as he seeks to expand his sphere of influence and utilize the powerful connections that Touma has gathered for his own purposes.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Imagine Breaker: Like his original, the emanation wielded the Imagine Breaker, which allows him to negate supernatural powers and properties. Moreover, he could assume the form of a dragon - one of shocking-pink and emerald instead of sky-blue and lemon-yellow. Rather than surrounding the human body like a shell, this power emerged from within him with his human body being the shell. He retained Imagine Breaker's negation ability while in dragon form.
- Master Manipulator: The emanation is shown to be an extremely cunning and deceptive manipulator, as he was able to mimic the original Touma Kamijou's personality almost near accurately, even fooling Touma's closest allies that he is the real Touma. His acting skills was so perfect that not even Index was able to identify him from the original Touma Kamijou.
Trivia[]
- Due to the kanji of his name (神浄の討魔 Kamijō no Tōma), the western fandom has dubbed the character "Kamijou no Touma" or "Knt" for short.
