Five years later, Sanae arranges Tomoya and Ushio for a trip in hope for them to be together again. During the trip, Tomoya meets his grandmother, Shino, and learns about his father's past and the sacrifices he made for Tomoya, which leads him to regret his actions, and decides to raise Ushio and acknowledge Naoyuki as his father.

Shortly after Tomoya sets things right, Ushio is struck with the same disease as Nagisa. Despite the efforts and sacrifices of Tomoya, Akio and Sanae made, Ushio's fever never subsides but worsen. In the coming winter, being filled with desperation of wanting to do anything for Ushio, Tomoya brings her for a trip, but she falls unconscious and dies shortly after along with her father who succumbed to his grief.

Dragon Slayer magic

Dragon Slayer magic is a form of Lost Magic. Dragon Slayer allows the user, to a certain degree, transform their body into that of a Dragon. As a result of this, those with Dragon Slayer abilities are able to change their body to their own element, in both offensive and defensive styles. They can also consume external sources of their natural element to replenish themselves. They are also naturally immune to the effects of their own element that came from both their own person and those from other sources, but must consume it through their mouths if they are to actually absorb it into their bodies. Dragon Slayers also have an incredible sense of smell too.

There are "Old-style" Dragon slayers, the true practitioners, who learn from dragons and "New-Generation" Dragon Slayers, who implant Lacrima crystals into themselves, although it is only an imitation of the magic, according to Cobra, though this has yet to be proven true, as he may make this up to confuse and insult Natsu. Dragon Slayer Magic has limitless functions inEdolas, and is valued as a priceless resource for everyday uses.

Kamijou Touma

Kamijou Touma

Name (Kanji)	上条 当麻
Name (Romaji)	Kamijō Tōma
Epithet	One that cleanses God and exorcises the Devil The Plague[1]
Age	15-16
Gender	Male
Height	168 cm
Classification	Esper
Family	Kamijou Shiina (Mother) Kamijou Touya (Father) Tatsugami Otohime (Cousin)

Kamijou Touma (上条 当麻 Kamijō Tōma^?) is the main protagonist of the Toaru Majutsu no Index series and is an important character in the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun side stories.

He is a Level 0 Academy City high school student in his first year and possesses the mysterious 'Imagine Breaker' in his right hand, which is capable of negating all forms of magic, esper and divine abilities, even his own good luck. Having a strong sense of justice, he will help anyone who is in need and will not hesitate to challenge an opponent who is several times more powerful than himself. Because of his willingness to help others unconditionally, he has attracted the affections of many females in the series, which Himegami Aisa jokes about, stating that his life is like a dating sim where he is bound to unlock more paths to more girls.

The most striking feature of Touma is his spiky black hair, apart from which he looks like an ordinary high school student. It's been mentioned that his spiky hair isn't natural, but was made that way using hair gel after seeing it on a fashion magazine a while back. His father remarks that Touma looks just like his mother when he is worried about something or is thinking deeply.

 Touma is the type that acts before he thinks. He can never just sit around upon seeing someone in a pinch and will go to great lengths to protect or help the person. This he does at great risk to himself, which typically results in him being hospitalized for several days after each confrontation. When fighting seriously against a particularly strong opponent, Touma would usually first declare that he'll "destroy that illusion" of theirs, before actually engaging. He once answered to Himegami Aisa's question about the reason why he saves people: "I don't need a reason to save someone".

 Touma's ability is Imagine Breaker (幻想殺し Gensō Goroshi^?, lit. "Illusion Killer"), an ability which negates all supernatural powers, including the effects of magical, psychic, and divine powers (which may also include his good luck and God's blessing according to Index). Because of this, the people testing psychic abilities cannot detect or classify his abilities, as such Aleister Crowley considers him neither a psychic nor a magician but rather a normal person with a unique ability.

Imagine Breaker can even ignore the overall actual weight or force behind of which an inanimate object has supernatural power concentrated on, as seen when Touma blocked a full-powered punch from a massive golem without showing signs of obvious effort, before the golem collapsed on itself due to the magic that manifested it being abolished by Imagine Breaker's power. He did, however; "almost break his hand" in said exchange.

At first, the source of Imagine Breaker appeared to be his right hand only, but in later episodes, it is questionable that his power doesn't concentrate on one part of his body. It appears his right hand is the only part that can actively negate supernatural things, with the rest of the body immune to supernatural effects, like heat from Innocentius that can even melt metal door handles^[24]. Though this is still debatable, as Ars Magna can bypass Imagine Breaker and go straight into the brain to affect Touma's memories^[25].

In two different instances, Touma demonstrated that he can dispel to an extent the effects of an area-wide attack. One instance is blocking the effects of electricity Misaka Mikoto created, by putting his right hand out to act as a lightning rod for the electricity to be directed to his right hand and Imagine Breaker as opposed to another part of his body without the Imagine Breaker's protection. The other one is blocking a portion of Kaitabi Hatsuya's Graviton from hitting the people behind him using Imagine Breaker as a shield. Nonetheless, it is required for him to have physical contact to initiate the effects of his power.

Anime Cosplaying

Cosplay (コスプレ kosupure^?), short for "costume play", is a type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Characters are often drawn from popular fiction in Japan, but recent trends have included American cartoons and Sci-Fi. Favorite sources include manga, anime, tokusatsu, comic books, graphic novels, video games, hentai and fantasy movies. Any entity from the real or virtual world that lends itself to dramatic interpretation may be taken up as a subject. Inanimate objects are given anthropomorphic forms and it is not unusual to see genders switched, with women playing male roles and vice versa.

Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture centered around role play. A broader use of the term cosplayapplies it to any costumed role play in venues apart from the stage, regardless of the cultural context.

 The term cosplay is a portmanteau of the English words costume play. The term was coined by Nobuyuki Takahashi of the Japanese studio Studio Hard while attending the 1984 Los Angeles Science FictionWorldcon.^[3] He was impressed by the hall and the costumed fans and reported on both in Japanese science fiction magazines. The coinage reflects a common Japanese method of abbreviation in which the first twomoras of a pair of words are used to form an independent compound. Costume becomes kosu (コス), andplay becomes pure (プレ).

Lolita fashion

Lolita fashion
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita_Fashion

 

Lolita fashion (ロリータ・ファッション Rorīta fasshon or Elega-torian in english^?) is a fashion subculture originating in Japan that is Based on Victorian clothing as well as costumes from the Rococo period. The Lolita look is primarily one of modesty with a focus on quality in both material and manufacture of garments. The silhouette is of a knee length skirt or dress with a 'cupcake' shape assisted by petticoats. Blouses, knee high socks or stockings and headdresses are also worn. Lolita fashion has evolved into several different sub styles and has a subculture that is present in many parts of the world.

A Kuro Lolita in Harajuku, Tokyo.

Although the origin of Lolita fashion is unclear, it is likely the movement started in the late 1970s when famous labels including Pink House, Milk and Pretty (later known as Angelic Pretty) began selling clothes that would be considered "Lolita" by today's standards. Shortly after that cameBaby, The Stars Shine Bright, and Metamorphose temps de fille. In the 1990s, Lolita fashion became better recognized, with bands like Malice Mizer and other Visual Kei (or visual type) bands coming into popularity. These bands wore intricate costumes, which fans began adopting as their own style. The style soon spread from its origins in the Kansai region, and ultimately reached Tokyo where it became popularized throughout Japanese youth culture. Today, Lolita fashion has grown so much in popularity that it can be found even in department stores in Japan.

n Lolita fashion, it is generally accepted that "Lolita" does not refer to Vladimir Nabokov's famous novel. In the context of fashion, the term 'Lolita' does not relate to sex. The usage of the word may also be considered wasei-eigo.

The fashion was thought to have been partly created to react against the growing exposure of the body and skin in today's society, specifically in regard to young women. Adherants fight the current fashion with modesty presenting themselves as "cute" or "elegant" rather than "sexy" . One follower of the Gothic Lolita fashion explained:

We certainly do not do this for the attention of men. Frequently, female sexuality is portrayed in a way that is palatable and accessible to men, and anything outside of that is intimidating. Something so unabashedly female is ultimately kind of scary—in fact, I consider it to be pretty confrontational. Dressing this way takes a certain kind of ownership of one’s own sexuality that wearing expected or regular things just does not. It doesn’t take a lot of moxie to put on a pencil skirt and flats. It’s not, as some commentators have suggested, some sort of appeal to men’s expectation that women should be childlike, or an attempt to pander to pedophiles. Pedophiles like little girls. They don’t like grown women who happen to like dresses with cakes on them. I’ve never been hit on by a pedophile while in Lolita. We don’t get into it because it is some sort of misplaced pedo complex or anything, and the objective isn’t simply to emulate little girls, despite the name Lolita.

Lolita was influenced and popularized by the imagery of more feminine Visual Kei (or "visual art") bands. Visual Kei is a Japanese form of rock music defined by bands featuring performers in elaborate costumes but whose musical style varies. Mana, the cross-dressing former leader and guitarist of the Visual Kei band Malice Mizer is widely credited for having helped popularize Gothic Lolita. He coined the terms "Elegant Gothic Lolita" (EGL) and "Elegant Gothic Aristocrat" (EGA) to describe the style of his own fashion label Moi-même-Moitié, which was founded in 1999 and quickly established itself as one of the most coveted brands of the Lolita scene.

Cosplay restaurants

Cosplay restaurants (コスプレ系飲食店 Kosupure-kei inshokuten^?), are theme restaurants and pubs that originated in Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan around the year 1999.^{[citation needed]} They include maid cafés (メイドカフェ Meido kafe^?) andbutler cafés (執事喫茶 shitsuji kissa^?), where the service staff dress as elegantmaids, or as butlers. Such restaurants and cafés have quickly become a staple of Japanese otaku culture. Compared with service at normal cafés, the service at cosplay cafés involves the creation of a rather different atmosphere. The staff treat the customers as masters and mistresses in a private home rather than merely as café customers.

The popularity of the Cosplay restaurants and maid cafes has spread to other regions in Japan, such as Osaka's Den Den Town as well as other countries, such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Mexico, Canada, and The Philippines.
