Last Order

Last Order (打ち止めラストオーダー Uchidome (Rasuto Ōdā)?, lit. "The End") is the 20001st Sister, a clone of Misaka Mikoto, that was produced as part of the Sisters Project for the Level 6 Shift Project. She becomes an integral part of the Toaru Majutsu no Index storyline after meeting with Accelerator who later dedicates himself to protecting her.

personality; Unlike most of the Sister clones, Last Order is quite capable of expressing emotions. She is a very cheerful, energetic and childish girl, which matches her childlike appearance. She tends to be quite jovial and playful, often playing with her fellow sisters and pestering Accelerator to spend time with her. Like most clones, Last Order speaks in the third person, with the only difference being that she says "Misaka" twice. She is also rather immature and tends to get upset at certain things, as shown when Yoshikawa and Accelerator discuss enrolling her in school, something which she vehemently objects. She also has complex about her small chest and is very jealous of Misaka Worst's more developed breasts.

Moreover, Last Order has a forgiving nature. Despite possessing all of the memories of the Misaka clones, including the ones that Accelerator has killed, Last Order doesn't hold any grudge against him, and she quickly forgave Fraulein Kreutune after she attempted to eat her, fully understanding that she wasn't in control of her actions. She has an extremely close bond with Accelerator and deeply cares about him. In addition, she also holds an apparent admiration towards Touma Kamijou due to him stopping the experiments and also protecting her during the events of both the Academy City Invasion and the Christmas Eve Arcs. Despite endlessly cheery demeanor, Last Order will occasionally become serious when it comes to the Misaka Network.

Last Order is shown to be incredibly caring and selfless, which is best displayed when she's was willing to save Fräulein Kreutune, even while the latter was trying to devour her brain. Despite her childlike behavior, Last Order has proven to be highly perceptive, as she theorizes that Accelerator didn't want to participate in the Level 6 Shift Project based on the memories of the dead sisters, which is why she doesn't blame him for his actions.

Appearance; Last Order is depicted as a 10-year old version of Mikoto[1] with one unusual strand of hair (known as an ahoge) that acts up in humorous moments in the manga. In her debut appearance, she's seen wearing a ragged piece of blanket as makeshift clothes. She is later given proper attire after being released from the hospital, wearing a blue spotted dress with a white coat and sandals. Unlike the other clones, her eyes are the same color as the original. Like Mikoto, Last Order has a complex in regards to her chest size and is easily upset about it.

Unlike her clone sisters, she is capable of actually showing emotions and has a close relationship with Misaka 10032, Accelerator and her adult guardians, Yomikawa Aiho and Yoshikawa Kikyou. Like her older clone sisters, she speaks in third person, except she says "Misaka" twice. She has all of the memories of the Misaka clones and has observed Accelerator through this method during the experiment, posing a theory that Accelerator did not actually want to take part in the Level 6 Shift Project and therefore doesn't blame him for his actions. She also has an apparent admiration of Touma due to him stopping the experiments and also protecting her during the events of volume 13.

Her appearance matches her childish nature, being playful and curious, such as taking Misaka 10032's goggles to play with as well as playing tag with her. She is also very caring as seen in New Testament, when she puts her life on the line to save Fräulein Kreutune, despite the latter wanting to devour her brain. Though only being a child, she is shown to be very perceptive, as demonstrated when she theorizes that Accelerator did not want to take part in the Level 6 Shift Project.

Background; She was the final clone produced for the Level 6 Shift Project, though not as a part of the 20,000 clones selected to be killed by Accelerator so he could achieve Level 6. She functions as the command center of the Misaka clones and the administrator of the Misaka Network, making her their superior. According to Yoshikawa Kikyou, Last Order was created as a fail-safe mechanism in case the clones go out of control; by sending a set amount of brainwave signals to her, the researchers can control the Misaka Network from the outside. She was kept into the form of a child, and not like her sister so as she can be easily controlled.

Her name, Last Order, was derived from the scenario of Last Order commanding the clones to shutdown.

Abilities; Like all the other Sisters, her ability is known as Radio Noise, a subset of the Electromaster (電撃使いエレクトロマスター Dengeki Tsukai (Erekutoro Masutā)?, lit. "Electricity User") ability. Being a clone of Misaka Mikoto, she has the same abilities but at a lower capability, making her a Level 3. She is capable of picking electric locks. She can detect electromagnetic fields, and can use Hertz unit to measure them.

However, unique to this ability is the Sisters having a form of telepathy that is formed from their similar brainwave patterns, forming a brainwave network. This collection of Sisters linked to each other is called the Misaka Network, and she is its administrator. Using this system, she can access their memories and experiences at will. Being the administrator of the Misaka Network, she can perfectly control what information flows through the network and she can consciously select who will receive it. She is known to have made 'a comical use' of this ability in the light novels: in certain instances and whenever she is arguing too strongly with Accelerator, she will resort to removing his ability to speak in an attempt to force him out of the discussion; that usually brings an even bigger comical effect with having Accelerator perform a certain type of physical punishment on her. It should be noted that the Sisters cannot "fight back" direct high priority commands from Last Order. In addition to these, being at the center of the Misaka Network, she is often used as a "core" that uses the Misaka Network to create or perform powerful phenomena, from things such angels when certain codes or viruses are forcibly inputted into her, like with Kazakiri Hyouka and Aiwass, to machines like the Coffin that Hishigata has. This makes her one of the most valuable and targeted individuals in Academy City.

Radio Noise: The collective esper ability of the Sisters, which allows them to manipulate electricity and magnetism. As a copy of Mikoto Misaka, Last Order has the same abilities but to a lesser degree, however, she has more raw power than the other sisters, putting her at Level 3. The exact amount of volts she's capable of generating isn't clear, but it's stated to be higher than a regular Sister. She is able to detect electromagnetic fields without the goggles, and use Hertz unit to measure them.

Misaka Network: As the central administrator of the Misaka Network, Last Order has nigh-complete authority over the Sisters and unlimited access to all their memories and experiences, including the deceased ones. She can override almost any viruses and give orders to the clones which they must obey. In addition to this, she is able to control what information flows through the network and can consciously choose who receives it. She is also capable of disabling Accelerator's esper ability due to him relying on the Misaka Network's calculations in order to utilize his power. Moreover, Last Order can act as a "core" that uses the Misaka Network to create or perform powerful and abnormal phenomena, such as the creation of artificial angels.

Technokinesis: Last Order is capable of influencing technology with her

Electromaster abilities. She can mainly hack and jam simple devices like electronic locks or smartphones.

Relationships; Accelerator : It was the worst evil that brought their people to the brink of extinction, but now they are like family. Since Last Order is a replica of Mikoto's childhood, it is also possible to guess the image of Accelerator protecting Mikoto's childhood, albeit belatedly . Estelle Rosenthal: Enemy. Misaka's sisters: Because of the measures taken when the Sisters were manufactured, the principle is to absolutely obey Last Order's orders regardless of the reason. But that doesn't mean it's a serious relationship; it's more like a relationship between a blunt superior and cool subordinates. As a bonus, it seems that Last Order is ready to start a revolution at any time. As evidence, when No. 10032's goggles were taken away, he took out the toy box from his bag and chased after him, saying, "The time for revolution has come, Misaka proclaims." Misaka Worst : she was not a member of the Sisters and passed the brink of death the first time they met. How does she seem to live well together? Misaka Mikoto : Strangely enough, it has little to do with the original Mikoto. Worst, an extra entity, also talks directly with Mikoto in Volume 3 of the New Testament, but at most Last Order is only briefly involved in a game of tag with No. 10032 wearing goggles in Volume 12 of the Old Testament. In Volume 1 of Changyaku, she finally comes face to face with Mikoto. Even though the only enemy they face is a passing scene in Book 12 of the Old Testament, they both communicate properly and seem to know that they are together with Accelerator. Judging from their similar attitude toward No. 10032, it is only a description in the original work, but the circumstances are clear when they meet each other. When going to catch the general director who was aiming for Last Order, the situation seems to have been conveyed correctly, as she does not refuse when asked to leave it to Accelerator, who is captured by Anti-Skill. Misuzu Misaka : she haven't met her in person yet. Kamijou Touma : Although he is the benefactor of the Sisters , he doesn't seem to have as much of a role as Axel in Last Order himself. Still, seeing as she said thank you for meeting her and asked for help from Kamijou during the Bento incident in front, it seems that he has the recognition as a hero. Later, in Russia, Touma saves her once, albeit temporarily. Uiharu Kazari : she met once, but I never questioned whether Uiharu herself was friends to the original. Index : In the original work, there was a conflict between them once for some reason. However, when Last Order fainted due to Fuse Kazakiri, Index temporarily restored her with a song. Shirai Kuroko : they haven't met each other yet. However, she speculates that if Kuroko meets her, Last Order, Kuroko will run out of control due to cuteness aggression Fremea Savern : Friendship.

Chronology;

Three Stories Arc

Last Order's first physical appearance on August 31 when she asks Accelerator to help her find researchers of the experiment so she can be put back in her incubator. Last Order follows Accelerator to his wrecked apartment and takes refuge there for the night. After taking her out to a local family restaurant, Last Order lectures Accelerator on his willingness to help a stranger and tells him he's not a bad guy at heart and is someone who never really wanted the experiment to go forth. As soon as he's about to storm out after hearing what she has to say, Last Order collapses due to her weakened state. Accelerator leaves, unknowing that Amai Ao is about to abduct her.

Ao takes her outside the now-abandoned Sisters Project research facility and awaits the activation of the virus. Accelerator later arrives and renders Ao unconscious. Accelerator later discovers that the virus has started and is preparing to activate. With no time left to spare, Accelerator chooses to save Last Order instead of killing her. Accelerator uses his vector powers to delete the virus inside of Last Order and successfully manages to, but he gets shot by Ao in the head as he was using all of his calculations on Last Order's treatment and not enough to spare for a deflection using his vectors. Even then, Accelerator protects Last Order from being shot by Ao using his powers and tells Ao that even though the two of them are scum, they should not involve Last Order.

Yoshikawa Kikyou later arrives to put Last Order into an incubation tank after shooting Ao in the back. Last Order is then seen in the hospital that Heaven Canceller works in, where Misaka 10032 is looking after her.

Battle Royale Arc Main article: Battle Royale Arc Last Order is released from the hospital by Heaven Canceller. Since Yomikawa Aiho couldn't be there to pick Last Order up, she had a taxi waiting for Last Order already paid. Last Order tries to use it to go to an amusement park, but Heaven Canceller makes sure the driver doesn't do that. Later, Last Order sensing Accelerator nearby, quickly leaves the taxi cab. Uiharu Kazari is nearby when she finds Last Order leaving the taxi, and after hearing the driver's plight and seeing that she is from Judgment ask her to give the change from the fare that was given to him. Taking the change, she quickly catches up to Last Order. She doesn't notice her similarity with Misaka Mikoto however, and asks her name, referring to her as "Ahoge-chan" (the hair that sticks up on Last Order's head), to which Last Order says her name.[7]

Uiharu is with Last Order when she was in the venue where Oyafune Monaka made her speech on children's suffrage, still looking for Accelerator, and referring to him as a "lost child", and later Sunazara Chimitsu attempted to shoot her for School.[8]

She later attempts to hand Last Order to Anti-Skill after handing her the change, but had managed to sneak out and wandered the streets. She is with her in a train station in School District 7, lamenting her predicament. As she wonders about Last Order's strange name and powers, she asks her why the train isn't coming, to which Uiharu says that there is a freight train coming. Uiharu then asks in turn, asking her where she thinks the person she is looking for is, to which Last Order points to a direction. Seeing this, Uiharu assumes that Last Order had a power to search the person she is looking for, though it was not very precise. Last Order becomes worried that she can't find the person, to which Uiharu consoles her, though Last Order sees through how general her words of encouragement were, she still thanks her. Uiharu tries to cheer her up by saying that she will give her a present. She takes one of the flowers from her hair, surprising Last Order, and says that it is hibiscus, which means "we'll, let's give it a shot". Last Order, however, says that the meaning is incorrect, to which Uiharu ignores her and continued to smile as Last Order's energy returned. At the same as this, Accelerator happens to pass by in the sports car he has commandeered to take to School District 23. With Uiharu none the wiser, she wonders where the people in the car were going to in such a hurry and states Anti-Skill should work harder to catch people like them. Meanwhile, Last Order started thinking about something.[9]

Last Order later tires herself out in her search for Accelerator, prompting them to rest at an open-air cafe, where Uiharu orders a parfait for herself. Last Order says that she is sure that the person she is looking for was nearby but suddenly went off somewhere. She then, however, notices a free gift key chain from a fast-food outlet and hurries towards there. Uiharu is perturbed by this as Last order still needs to find that person she is looking for and that she wants to finish her parfait. She, however, suddenly reminds her of the change from the taxi, to which she hurries off.[10]

It is unknown where Last Order was or what she was doing when Kakine Teitoku began torturing Uiharu for Last Order's whereabouts or during Accelerator's battle with him. After Kakine stabs Aiho in front of Accelerator and prompting him into a rage that released his black wings, and later his defeat, Accelerator goes into a rampage with his black wings. As Aiho, who survived Kakine's actions, and Anti-Skill is at a loss on how to stay the wrath of Accelerator. Luckily, Aiho was able to survive and tries to stop Accelerator after she comes to. However, she is stopped by Saigou Ryouta, who tells a great distortion is taking place with regards to the AIM Diffusion Fields. She breaks from Ryouta's grasp, only to discover several armored Anti-Skills and armored vehicles. Aiho demands them to put their guns down, and tells that it is their duty to protect Accelerator. Aiho tries to come close to Accelerator, though because she is injured, blood spurts from her mouth, and is restrained by Ryouta.

However, their last hope, Last Order, appears, coming out of the crowd at great speed towards Accelerator. As his black wings continued its rampage, Last Order approaches and says that she has finally found him. However, Accelerator tries to attack, and though everyone flinches believing that Last Order has fallen to her demise, the black wings stop before Last Order. But Last Order is undeterred as it shows that Accelerator still has control. An Anti-Skill opens fire without permission while Accelerator is distracted, responding to this his black wings try to attack, only for Last Order to plead him to stop, and he does. Last Order holds out her arms and says that all is all right now and there is no need to do what he is doing. As if to blow apart those words, the black wings try to again but once again stops before her, his conflicted heart consuming his action. He continues to scream in turmoil, and finally he roars and the sounds of the black wings wave once more. They try to attack the unperturbed Last Order, all of which misses its mark. And then it swelled up greater than it has ever been and tried to strike down Last Order again. It reached in front of Last Order, Accelerator's movements have stopped. With his head lowered, the black wings disappear and Accelerator falls, all of his strength leaving his body. Last Order catches Accelerator with arms wide open, and held him with all the strength she could muster. With that Last Order whispers to Accelerator's ear of her relief. Finally, the lost child is found.
