Also, this time Oriana was surprised so she might have gone for a more powerful attack from the get-go. Since she relies on that stack of paper slips, it's obvious her selection is limited. She should have opted to use them appropriately, keeping in mind possible future uses. That's why it could seem she went easier on Tsuchimikado. She was pretty much in control of that encountered from the beginning. Now, however, this was something she wasn't expecting at all and moreover she had just fallen for Tsuchimikado's lies.

An excellent episode all in all. Although the awkward, strange scenes again appeared with Touma listening to Index's stomach for one reason or another. No wonder Kuroko made her comment.

One thing I like is the integration of and interaction between many of the characters who hadn't previously met each other. Makes them feel much less one arc wonders.
