Uiharu Dragon buff?
I think I get it now.
If Academy City's true form is: (NT18 -GT1 Spoilers)

Spoiler

A magical temple build after Touma's Thelema, it was build for Touma, making Academy City his 'playground'

Then Touma must be Academy City(the Temple)'s(this part is speculation):

Spoiler

god

And those dragons might be(this is just speculation too)

His Blessings

TO Quote Anna

Spoiler

: “I am supposed to be one of the humans who hold out our hands to accept the blessings granted unto us. All I should need to do is look up and receiving the blessings and guidance provided by heaven. …But this world is too small. There is no longer anyone above me, so all I do is float around restlessly like a balloon. Aiwass, are you kidding me? I am pissed because your specs are just too low. Do you have anything to say for yourself?”

and that may be the reason she needed Kamijou no Touma.
It seem like low level espers are receiving this blessing which mean, HAMAGOD and god Aogami memes might come true, damn you Kamachi!!

 

[Kaarme]

A single slap on the back from Kamijou Touma would fix Saten right up.

That Kimi is starting to annoy me majorly. She's like a broken isekai MC, who has stolen 100 different skills and maxed them all out.

 

[OHandS]

There just doesn't appear to be any relief in sight.

Saten's in danger of the salt in her body potentially killing her.
Uiharu's about to turn in a demon with anger.
Shirai's out of action (for now).
And Misaka's stuck in the losing side of a stalemate with this arc's boss.

There's literally only one character who could appear and tip the scales back to the heroes' favour.

But will Kamachi and Fuyukawa have the balls to do it?

 

[Yomiel-Metathronos]

@OhandS I think Kihara Noukan might intervene at some point. Also we should never underestimate Heaven Canceller that guy saved Lilith.
Edit: I am saying Noukan due to A.A.A. and it future connection to Misaka.

 

[allenjke]

Saten and Uiharu

Uiharu's awakening could only be stopped by Saten the strongest! The april fools Uiharu taking down Kimi might've been not a joke =/

Round 3 for Mikoto!!!

 

[OHandS]

@Yomiel-Metathronos Kihara Noukan's guaranteed to appear by the end of the arc and Heaven Canceler would be able to help after the action's over but my gut is telling me that somehow Kamijou Touma will get involved.

The reason's obvious: this arc is secretly about Kamijou Touma.
It started with Misaka's realization that she's in love with him from OT16.
Her fight with Raifu basically ended with praise for the Kamijou Touma way of doings things.
Kimi is using the Angel Dragon that came out of Kamijou Touma and everything in this arc is for fleshing out details about how the dragon works.

The fact that Kimi has both the dragon's power and some makeshift variant of Misaka's tells me that Misaka and Kamijou will tag team against her.

I just don't know if he can be effectively written into the story. NT11 was a one off; but him appearing in this arc with no actual prior appearance as in the Daihaseisai Arc would be the ballsiest thing Kamachi and Fuyukawa have ever done in this manga.

 

[Yomiel-Metathronos]

@OHandS Shouldn't Touma be in England or in plane headed to England by now?
Noukan deals with Immortals.
To Quote NT11 Epilogue

Spoiler

Noukan: “The esper cyborg Rensa was created to crush the seven Level 5s in case they all rebelled against Academy City at once. My role is similar, but unfortunately, my target is not those homemade espers.”

“Then…what is your target?”

Noukan: “Ladylee Tangleroad, Fräulein Kreutune, and Codename Dragon.”

“..?”

Noukan: “Oh, was that too difficult for you? At any rate, I am the safety when it comes to a realm that people like you could never comprehend. Normally, I wouldn’t need to deal with odd jobs like this.”

It would be amazing if we get a foreshadowing about Mikoto getting the A.A.A.

 

[OHandS]

@Yomiel-Metathronos We're currently in a vague part of the timeline where there's no exact date on when this arc is occurring. Just that its after OT16 and before WWIII. So Kamijou is potentially still in Academy City.

AAA foreshadowing could work as well but that needs to be done in a more subtle way rather than in a climactic battle with Kimi.

 

[ampnaman]

Dammit, we were about to see Dark Uiharu there.

 

[thedestroyership]

If the esper power development program is based on one’s emotions, we may have almost seen Uiharu awaken maybe a lvl 4 power up. And given the fact that she has minor control over heat, she might have gone nuclear or frozen everyone in the compound.

 

[AgentKuga]

freeze everyone then

 

[FlyingThunder]

OH?

 

[cheekibreeki]

I have no idea what's going on but I like where it's heading

 

[devilpyro]

I love dark uiharu

 

[Kampfarsch]

she got so angry her melanin increased

 

[1234muse]

ugh, let me guess, it's time for deus ex touma to appear

 

[Istvan90623]

Good Uiharu, let the darkness turn him into something more powerful than her useless self.

 

[AlaAlba]

Call me crazy but what if we get to see the mystical number 6 or at least one of his identities
