The Insane Secret of Level 5 Esper Powers

did you know that the crazy powers of the level five espers might actually have a hidden meaning which changes everything for their characters not only are their psychic abilities cool as hell because they are based upon real life physics and both serious Firepower but I also have a theory regarding the reasons why each level five have their specific powers that their expert abilities might just represent their personalities or even their greater selves as a whole and yes I do have some evidence to suggest why I ain't just pulling things out of my ass to sound insane let's get started by talking about the principles behind esper Powers one of the main components behind why esper Powers work is a concept known as a personal reality essentially espers are able to perceive the external World in a completely different way than normal humans thanks to the mind altering drugs and experiments they go through to develop Powers this is known as a personal reality as it is the real ity that exists in their mind which they can apply to the macroscopic world to alter reality in the form of manifesting their unique power in the world it all functions via quantum physics which can be pretty complicated I'll do my best to explain specifically personal realities are a thing thanks to the schinger cat thought experiment let's say you have a cat who's placed in a box the cat could either be dead or alive you only know when you open the lid and and see how does the look please don't quote me on that since there is a 50/50 chance of the cat being alive or not you could then say that when it's in the box with the lid on it's in a state of being neither dead or alive but somewhere in between this is how esper Powers work if you imagine a box as the esper and then the alive cat as them distorting reality to use their power or the cat being dead and nothing has changed in the external World okay thanks for the crappy quantum physics for dummy's class Aon but how is this even relevant for the point of this video well that's because personal realities are located in the mind and may have some kind of a link to the personality of an esper and perhaps something even greater each espert is limited to only one personal reality meaning they have access to just one specific power and cannot use multiple ones in that case what the hell is even a criteria for why certain aspers get their specific power over something else entirely like why did accelerator get the broken as hell vector control Power instead of uih haru's crappy thermal hand ability to slightly heat up objects multiple factors seemingly come into it such as intelligence potential genetics the quality of the experiments or the scientific knowledge amongst other things but what about personality since everyone has a unique persona then surely that could cause the DraStic differences in each Esper's power but at the same time some esper powers are more common than others or are variations of the same type of power like how there are a load of different teleporter asers or electr Masters therefore how do we explain that then if everyone's personality is unique well it is revealed in the index L novel The artificial espers of Academy city were modeled after the magic system of FMA due to the influence of board chairman aliser Crowley a legendary magician who defected to the magic side to pursue science due to this it is likely the case that personal realities represent what is known as the true will in flamer the true will is essentially the individual's greater purpose in life it is not something that somebody can simply choose as it is determined by the interplay between the self and the external Universe huh kind of like a reality contained within the self which can then affect the outside world sounds oddly familiar to what I was talking about a few moments ago therefore it can perhaps be implied that an Esper's power may be a reflection of their greater purpose in life or even their soul itself as a student becoming an esper has zero say in what ability they get or what level they end up with with the thousands of students who end up as powerless level zeros their true Wills likely imply they were never even meant to be asers to begin with a STK contrast from the seven monsters who became level fives so I think it would be interesting to discuss what the true Wills of each level five could be and how it makes sense in relation to their power let's start off with the number seven level five soita gunha if anything I think soita is the perfect example of the true will Theory even though he is not an artificial esper instead he got his powers by natural means outside the city making him what is known as a gemstone nevertheless I still think the theory applies to all espers considering gemstones are linked to the pure world and iwas the holy Guardian Angel who was the one who taught aliser everything about FMA so's unnamed ability doesn't seem to have any logic behind it despite being a scientific one on paper with so being able to perform a myriad of Supernatural actions such as creating explosions having superhuman strength and speed walking in the air like a certain Snowman and being able to punch lightning to the ground perfectly logical right and this is all fueled by so's guts yep all this craziness is explained by an emotion or feeling rather than a specific aspect of physics in fact it is so's delusions that directly power him whether he believes he is a wannabe superhero who can fend off a attacks and even copy other abilities so's delusions likely ties directly to his true will as so's power represents his will to become a hero of guts who inspires those around him and with enough guts he will be able to conquer any foe becoming the ideal hero he has in his mind so gita's personality represents this too as he is very determined and doesn't back down from any challenge but at the same time he can be very dense at times times and often doesn't think before moving as he is so obsessed with guts that it must Cloud his mind therefore with olus implying that if so understood himself and his own power more he could perhaps even rival a magic god possibly hinting that soit's eccentric demeanor shows he is on the path to achieving his greater Destiny of being the god of guts moving on to the mysterious SI Frank level five ihana etu iana's power also coincidentally ties in with a concept of true will rather well but in a different way to so as if we are to believe what ihana said to Toma in Genesis Testament Volume 2 then their power allows them to turn another person into their ideal self Yep this has FMA written all over it but seemingly this power only works on others and not Iha and we don't know the exact capability or the extent of the ability since Tomo was like nah I'm good and rejected it if we take what IH said as fact then perhaps their ability allows another person to instantly achieve their true will or maybe it can change their true will entirely according to the fit of what the person views as their ideal self which is kind of insane considering we are talking about fate and destiny here although the question remains how does ion's person ity relate to their power and what could their true will be due to A's mysterious nature and them acting like a complete social reuse it makes sense that their ability works on others rather than themselves in fact Iha is known to lend their name and their rank out to other people with many espers in the city claiming to be the number six for their own agendas this allows Iha to keep their own identity hidden with so many others pretending to be the number six making the list of potential candidates of being the real deal drastically higher ihana is quite arrogant as they believe that others need their help to be successful rather than achieving things on their own Merit we don't know what their end goals are or what drives them so judging what their true will could be is even tougher but judging of what we do know with their personality and desire to be anonymous the number six's ability does make a lot of sense by manipulating nose who are aware of the myths surrounding ihona it helps them stay hidden and it also adds to the legendary image of the status of being ranked as a level five speaking of manipulating others the fifth rank level five shomi saki is quite Adept at that with her mind controlling mental out ability she can make others do what she wants and can even influence memories misaki's relationship with her power is an interesting one as she is a character that gets judged by others because of the unsettling nature behind her power as she can control others around her or even you and you wouldn't even realize it although I'm pretty sure some of her Fanboys would love the opportunity to serve their Queen for eternity with the stigma surrounding her power is misaki an evil manipulator that simply wishes everyone to bend to her will not quite just like Adam Sandler in Click I'm sure every everyone wishes they had more control over their lives as we can't predict the future prevent some kind of tragedy or make ourselves happy at a touch of a button to some extent misaki does wish he could control everything around her but at the same time she doesn't and this moral conflict of whether to use her power or not is what makes her character intriguing she does genuinely value those close to her and when controlling them she feels a great responsibility which can turn into a burden if something goes wrong the loyal members of her cck understand that misaki values them as human beings instead of tools due to the compassion she shows for them when she could easily act as an evil dictator if she wished but at the same time misaki does use her ability in controversial ways at times such as when she temporarily erased the memories of misa's friends justifying this action by wanting to keep them safe from harm despite her excuses using this power in way can be a contentious issue this dilemma surrounding mental out represents who misaki is perfectly as she wants greater control over her life but at the same time she doesn't want to live through an artificial reality where everything bends to her will like with the tragic death of Dolly where she was unable to save her friend from illness despite being a level five esper or in New Testament Volume 11 where she used her power hoping to ease the pain of ciou TOA who risked his life protecting her only to overexert her ability upon Him causing him to lose his memories of her and at the same time being unable to remember misaki after every encounter they have if misaki exerts her control upon others too much then perhaps they might me the same fate as TOA misaki Wishes the boy she loves could remember her and theoretically she could just turn Toma into her doll and basically make him do whatever she wants but misaki isn't like that as she values real human connections above all I believe this conflict between being in control and letting natural events occur is what defines misaki's true will it is also interesting that only terma memories of misaki alone were affected like is that just a plot contrivance so kamachi can force this tragic love story or if we take the Viewpoint that mental outs equals misaki's own essence or true will then it makes much more sense it is because out represents misaki's true will or her greatest self which could be the reason why the damage to tma's brain focused on misaki specifically but that's just a theory a toe Arrow Theory next we have Mugo shizuri the fourth Frank level five with the meltdowner ability where she can produce electron beams which are neither a particle or a wave which atomizes matter upon contact given Mug's Savage personality and equally terrifying ability I think the meaning behind her power is pretty self-evident destruction yep Mugo is pretty unhinged she won't hesitate to murder her enemies or even her own comrades if they have the audacity to betray her meaning her meltdowner is the perfect tool to enable her murderous Tendencies so what that's it her true will is just to be a psycho that everyone on Twitter simps for maybe but Aon what about her character development in New Testament while she still probably wouldn't mind killing genuinely bad criminals if given a chance Mugo has mellowed out a lot more she's not entirely evil now therefore has Mug's true will changed well that's not technically possible as your true will cannot be changed as according to fler it is your greater Destiny in life whether you choose to follow it or not is up to you as the real life aliser Crowley said the most common cause of failure in life is ignorance of One's Own True will or of the means to fulfill that will a man May fancy himself a painter and waste his life trying to become one or he may really be a painter and yet fail to understand and to measure the difficulties peculiar to that career I think what helps clarify Mug's character clearer and what defines her actions are from the recent volumes of the index light novel and I believe once we get more volumes in the future we will only learn more as despite popular belief Mugo does care about her comrades but she feels super insecure about being betrayed no matter the circumstances just ask friender ironically we learned that Mug's power was intended to be much greater than what it ended up with the Hope being that an esper who could freely control electrons will be developed at the lab therefore clearly fate had other plans for Mugo instead of being the chosen one who could control electrons Without Limits she was instead given a lesser yet still impressive melting beams of Doom there's got to be a reason for this perhaps meltdowner also acts as a warning to others to make sure they don't get on her bad side as Mugo herself was rejected by her own esper development project despite being a level five maybe it's because she felt betrayed herself or was seen as a failure by aame Caroline the scientist who led meltdowner his development which could be the reason why Mugo feels so torty over others betraying her which then led to friend's death even in New Testament Mug's power still acts as a destructive warning to others while at the same time representing the unsettling nature of her past all this talk of abilities is making me think I should just create a video explaining all level five esper Powers rather than all the separate ones I made like the video and subscribe if you would like to see it now we have Misa Mikoto the third ranked level five who can freely manipulate electricity magnetism electromagnetic waves amongst other applications I think misa's power is the most ambiguous when it comes to assessing her true will like how does being Pikachu in anime girl form imply for her personality or grander destiny I mean it is perfect if you want to be a suere who enjoys zapping their Crush constantly but seriously has my theory Fallen flat at this stage or do I need to do a hell of a lot of reaching for it to make sense I don't know rather than looking at misa's character and her goal in life basically her trying to get into toa's p instead I think we need to look at the purpose of her character in the greater Narrative of index specifically what aliser Crowley thinks of her considering he founded FMA misa's purpose was simply to be the foundation for the Misa Network as the level five who will be cloned thousands of times to create an electromagnetic Network which produces an insane amount of collective energy this was only possible thanks to misa's power as the clones have an inferior version of her ability nevertheless it's thanks to Misa that they can send electromagnetic signals to each other and if you are familiar with toaru you know just how important the mea Network is for the story if you don't then I recommend watching this video therefore I believe misa's true will must have huge implications for the toara universe as a whole even if aliser himself admitted that she lost her purpose once the network was created up next is the true number one or should I say the second rank level five kakina tataku kaka's ability is dark matter not creating actual Dark Matter from physics but instead a mysterious white substance which did not exist in our world prior to him creating it dark matter is a highly versatile power as it can alter the laws of physics with other matter it comes into contact with and has many special properties to it the crazy thing about dark matter is that it has almost Limitless potential since you can theoretically create an endless supply of it and bend it to your will making it the ultimate power of creation amongst the espers of aademy City certainly it is an ability that sounds like he should be the strongest when you think about it well then accelerator exists who wields the ultimate form of both defense and destruction but more on him later this mirrors how Kina Feels overshadowed by accelerator being the number one one who he wishes to replace as the top rank in the dark matter manga we learn that kakina wishes that laws didn't apply to him in the context of Desiring something beyond the rank of number two and existing as an entity away from the system of Academy city which is why he was so desperate to negotiate with aliser so he could free himself from the rank which shackles him it's crazy how this aligns perfectly with how dark matter works as it exists outside of the known physical laws so Kina pretty much wants to be dark matter itself and spoilers for New Testament volume 6 he does achieve just that returning to the story with a dark matter body with his upgraded power he boasts that he has finally gotten what he wanted with him now believing that he is beyond the realm of level five but just like Icarus going too close to the sa kaka's power becomes his biggest weakness as the dark matter he created ends up overthrowing him and replaces kakina with Beetle 05 who is the good guy version of him Beetle 05 seems to not care about the status of ranks and is able to protect those around him unlike the original kakina therefore it could be argued that kakina did indeed follow his true will successfully after all last but certainly not least we have accelerator the number one level five his Opus hell ability is the power to manipulate vectors of physics controlling any quantity which has both Direction and magnitude effectively allowing him to alter the laws of physics of most things in existence with a mere touch his trademark use of his ability is his notorious reflection which passively redirects any attacks away from accelerator which have vectors making him impossible to harm for most espers in the city now accelerator's personality and true will is pretty deep considering he developed so much as a character over the course of A Certain Magical Index while he is pretty psychotic at times and can be a sadistic killer early on in the series he slowly becomes a better person as his true nature inside is revealed accelerator likely would have never grown up to be such a deranged person if he had a loving family and support around him but instead he grew up alone and was manipulated by adults to do terrible things which he regrets as accelerator matures one of the key themes of his character is that accelerator learns to use his power to help or protect others rather than just kill as he was under the impression that causing mass destruction was the only thing it was good for so I don't believe accelerator's true will is simply to cause harm to others even if his power is well suited for that perhaps that is the message behind his power and his true will as a whole accelerator desired absolute power as a level six esper so no one would dare to challenge him he could then live in peace and wouldn't have to harm others again but accelerator was under a false impression as he ended up causing so much suffering due to his loss for power and there was no guarantee that being a level six would solve all his problems as what accelerator truly wants is a family and to be accepted by society as a human being and with his crazy power he is definitely more than capable of using it for good like when he saved an unborn child or stopping F's nuke from hitting the Earth but I can completely understand why accelerator was under that false impression that vector control could only be used for bad things as his power technically only Shields him he can kill others in one such and his power can even hurt or kill others by accident which happened when accelerator was younger on multiple occasions but as he lost aoma who is a level zero eser and is capable of saving thousands of people even if he does have a busted power for someone who's an underdog then surely accelerator has no excuses as a level five to do something similar to his rival as accelerator admires Toma and wishes he could be a hero like him to which he can now but by following a different path therefore I think it makes sense from this perspective how accelerator true will follows his own development and perspective surrounding the strongest esper power in this city do you agree with my analysis or not let me know down below and check out my other awesome videos on the level five espers on screen right now if you
