Misaka Worst is an exceptional individual who appears in A Certain Magical Index. She is one of the "Sisters," the collective name for clones of Misaka Mikoto, the third most powerful esper in Academy City, and appears as a particularly unique individual among them. In this article, we will discuss Misaka Worst, summarizing the bare minimum you need to know when talking about her.

What is the Misaka Worst?

She is one of the "Sisters" who first appears in Volume 20 of the original novel version of A Certain Magical Index and Episode 19 of the anime's third season. These are the new sisters created in the third production plan (third season). While their sample numbers have not been revealed, they are said to be the youngest of the Misaka series. Like the other sisters, they share part of the Misaka Network. Their appearance is similar to previous Misakas, but they are about 2-3 cm taller and appear to be around the age of a high school student. Like their mother, they have larger breasts than Mikoto, and she claims they are using "different growth promoters." Because they were created after August 21st, they were not subject to Kamijou Touma's interference in their lifestyle guidelines. As a result, they lack the survival instinct that was awakened in all of the second-generation sisters, such as "I can't let even one more person die," and they tend to take their own lives lightly. They also possess the ability to strongly extract malicious thoughts and emotions (anger, hatred, jealousy, etc.) within the Misaka Network.

Personality

She generally has a malicious personality, preferring to speak in a vulgar and sarcastic manner. Her first-person pronoun is "Misaka." Her twisted personality can be seen in her remarks in the story, such as, "Misaka, your selfish plot developments are making me horny in so many ways☆." While the details will be explained later, she eventually displays a yandere-like side, becoming lovey-dovey towards Accelerator out of jealousy. She also has a weakness for cute things, just like her clone's original, Misaka Mikoto, and her other sisters.

Abilities

Like her cloned counterpart, Misaka Mikoto, she possesses the ability to generate electricity (Electromaster), a level 4 power level. Her maximum output is said to be 200 million volts. The other sisters' Honesty is only level 2, so it can be said that her abilities are higher than the others. While the original Mikoto uses coins as bullets, she enhances her lethality by firing a railgun using iron nails. As an application of this, she also has the tactic of exploding the air with a huge amount of high voltage current and using that momentum to fly.

Differences between the Misaka Worst and the other "Sisters"

Unlike her sisters, she appears more mature than Misaka Mikoto (around high school age). When she first appears, she wears a tight-fitting white combat uniform and goggles that cover her entire face. Unlike Misaka and her sisters, she doesn't speak in the characteristic "and Misaka..." style, but rather in a more extreme tone. Furthermore, her sharp gaze and bags under her eyes are distinctive features of the Misaka Worst, compared to the other sisters.

An individual created solely to kill Accelerator

The Misaka Worst was created with the sole purpose of killing Accelerator, and even if it had been defeated, no other use for it was envisioned. It is believed to have been an individual scheduled to die before the network was officially established in the third production plan. While she is far inferior to Accelerator in terms of skill alone, Accelerator, who has decided not to kill his sisters, does not want to fight her. In addition, she has a "Selector" implanted in her body, which acts as a self-destruct device, neutralizing her without killing her. If Accelerator were to attempt to neutralize her without killing her, she would detonate it in front of him, committing suicide and launching a mental attack. This makes her the worst possible opponent for Accelerator.

The Only One Who Can Refuse Last Order's Orders

Uisaki (Last Order), considered the superior of the Sisters, has the ability to give orders to other Sisters. However, the special Sisters (Misaka Worst) have a special sheet and Selector implanted in their bodies, which allows them to refuse Last Order's orders and attack Accelerator against the will of the entire Sisters.

Is Kamijou Touma "weak"?

For Misaka Worst, who represents the "malice" of his sisters, Kamijou Touma, the object of their "goodwill"—such as gratitude and affection—seems difficult for him to handle. In the new translation of the novel A Certain Magical Index, Misaka Worst's behavior becomes a little erratic when confronted with Kamijou Touma. His unusual behavior can be a bit endearing at times.

The Misaka Worst is one of the few individuals who has cornered Accelerator, the most powerful psychic. By monitoring the operation status of the Misaka Network, which functions as Accelerator's brain's proxy, he can predict Accelerator's next move. He also exploits Accelerator's appearance, voice, and "the rule Accelerator imposed on himself of never killing the Sisters" to corner Accelerator both physically and mentally. Furthermore, he has received orders to kill Last Order, forcing Accelerator to choose between killing one of the Sisters, whether he wins or loses. This cornered Accelerator.

Accelerator's Worst Opponent

Accelerator describes the Misaka Worst as "a more terrifying foe" than Kamijou Touma, Kihara Kazuta, Kakine Emperor, or Aiwass. Indeed, it's more effective against Accelerator than any other foe he'd face in a head-on battle with. Ultimately, Accelerator counterattacks and neutralizes the Misaka Worst, but by detonating the Selector implanted in its body and demonstrating its own death, it still manages to inflict serious mental damage on Accelerator.

During a battle with Accelerator, the Special Individual (Misaka Worst) attempted suicide, but was later saved by Accelerator's powers, which also removed the selector and other components from its body.
She is taken to the Elizalina Independence Alliance along with Accelerator, who was defeated by Kamijou Touma, and makes a deal with the cool-headed Accelerator: "In exchange for analyzing and providing information, he will analyze her fighting style and grant her abilities that the other Sisters do not have." This leads to them joining forces with Accelerator in order to find an alternative route to being discarded by Academy City, which has no use for her other than to kill Accelerator. Despite their twisted personalities, they could be said to make a good pair, facially speaking.

After the end of World War III, she and Accelerator move into Aiho Yomikawa's apartment and begin living together. While she hasn't given any details about her origins, she answers when asked, so it seems she has no intention of hiding anything. Since Misaka Worst doesn't have any casual clothes, she wears an ao dai that Yoshikawa Kikyo won in a lottery.

Misaka Worst's voice actor is Ai Kakuma

Misaka Worst's voice actor in the anime is Ai Kakuma, who is affiliated with Mausu Promotion. She perfectly captures Misaka Worst's unique venom and is a skilled voice actress who brings out the character's charm.
