The hugely popular novel "A Certain Magical Index" has been confirmed for a third season, which is presumably set in Russia. Today, we'll be introducing the characters who will appear in the Russia arc.
The Strongest Enemy! Members of God's Right Seat
Terra of the Left

Raphael is the angel who governs Earth and the Left, and corresponds to him. A staunch Roman Orthodox Christian, he does not even consider heretics or pagans to be human. He uses a special spell called "Execution of Light," which he claims "allows him to set the priority of all things and events." By prioritizing himself over the attack, no attack will work against him. By prioritizing the atmosphere over the human body, he can even immobilize him.

He's a powerful warrior, capable of toying with the duo of Kamijou Touma and Amakusa Shiki's Itsuka. Motoharu Tsuchimikado's intrusion midway through the battle escalated into a melee. He uses vicious magic to corner Kamijou. His goal is to lead everyone to the "Holy Land" and prevent conflict from breaking out, thereby saving all of humanity equally. However, as mentioned above, Terra does not even consider anyone who is not a Roman Orthodox Christian to be human, and he holds extremely biased views, even going so far as to say that "all of humanity" only means Roman Orthodox Christians.
Acqua in the Rear

A magical mercenary from England. Also known as "Acqua in the Rear." His magic name is "He Who Changes the Reason for Tears (Flere210)." He is one of the few saints, or rather, the only sensible person at God's Right Seat. His physique and demeanor are matched by a quiet, unwavering aura. He is also a friend of the Knight Commander. Not only does he wield a gigantic mace over 5 meters long and the giant sword, Ascalon, with the physical abilities of a saint, but as a member of the Right Seat of God, he also possesses the properties of "divine power" and, due to his connection with the Annunciation, can exercise "Virgin Mary's Mercy." Furthermore, due to the effects of Virgin Mary's Mercy, he can use normal human magic that the Right Seat of God cannot use.

Recognizing Kamijou Touma's Imagine Breaker as the root of the conflict, Acqua engages in battle with Kamijou and Amakusa Shiki to seize it. Within a few pages, he defeats Kamijou, the supposed protagonist, and sends him out of the story. He then engages in combat with Kanzaki Kaori, who is also a saint, and overwhelms her with his superior strength and rank, but midway through the battle, members of the Amakusa Clan join in to save Kanzaki, and Kamijo also appears, having forced his way out of the hospital.
Fiamma of the Right

A magician who appears in A Certain Magical Index. He controls fire and the right, and his corresponding angel is Michael. He is the de facto leader of the Right Seat of God, and his skills as a magician are considerable. He refers to himself as "oresama." He is the one who started World War III, a cause he set out to perfect his own arm.

This is the true power of Fiamma's right-hand man, his true power. Its power can only be summed up in one word: tremendous. The power demonstrated in the story alone was enough to destroy a planet and recreate every Christian myth. To reach this state known as "God's Landing," he first caused World War III to bring out the "malice" of people all over the world. He then used the body of "Sasha Kreutzev," who actually summoned an angel, the knowledge (spiritual outfits) from the 103,000 volumes of "A Certain Magical Index," and Kamijou's "Imagine Breaker" as vectors for his power.
Amakusa Style Cross Sekai
Takemiya Saiji

He is the vicar of the Amakusa Style Cross Sekai. He wears a loose-fitting white T-shirt with a diagonal red cross and baggy jeans. Surprisingly, his fashion is the same as Kanzaki's. He wears four small electric fans around his neck as necklaces, but of course it's not a hobby, it's part of his magical skills. Contrary to his appearance, he has an honest personality. He feels a deep gratitude towards Kamijou, who saved him and Amakusa Shiki from difficult situations and fought alongside him.
Itsuwa

A magician belonging to the Amakusa Cross Sect. She has striking double eyelids and a distinctive outward-curling hairstyle. She is usually a quiet girl. She has a crush on Kamijou Touma, and at first, she can only give him wet towels, but later impresses him with her natural cooking skills. She becomes one of Kamijo's harem members. She quickly becomes a valuable member of the team during the Russia Arc, fighting alongside him.

She wields a naval shipboard spear (Friuli Spear). Due to the Amakusa-style characteristics, it can be easily disassembled and carried for increased stealth. As it is a spear capable of "piercing," it is the starting point for the Amakusa trump card "Saint Breaker," but if used as is, the power is so great that it would blow the user's wrist off, so in such cases it can be wrapped in a wet towel and used as a simple tube spear.
New Light
Lesser

He is in his early teens, but claims to be a middle school student. His eyes are blue. He has long black hair, braided at the ends, and wears the "Tail" spiritual accessory. Lesser is the strongest within the organization. She is treated with the spiritual outfit "Steel Gloves" at a higher level than the other members. In the main story and fan fiction, she seduces Kamijou and stands out in comedy parts, but in reality she is a fully professional magician.

While causing a disturbance at a bar during the transport of Cartana, she was pursued by Kamijou and Orianna while fleeing. When cornered, she was shot by a Robin Hood carried by a member of the Knights to silence her. Kamijou held her injured, and Orsola cast a healing spell on her at the British Puritan Girls' Dormitory. Afterwards, having seen Kamijo during the coup, he thought "if he can get him involved, he will fight for Britain," and in volume 20 of the manga, he sneaks ahead to Russia, joins up with Kamijo, and accompanies him on his journey. After traveling with Kamijo and understanding his principles and ideology, he continues to accompany him.
Bay Rope

A girl who belongs to the British reserve organization "New Light." She is about 18 years old and has silver hair. According to personal information provided by Floris, her weak spot appears to be her calves. During the transfer of Cartana Original, she engaged in combat with the Church of Necessary Evil (Necessarius). During that time, she was surrounded by the Amakusa clan and faced off against Itsuka directly. Using the power of her steel gloves, she knocked Itsuka to the ground, demonstrating her overwhelming strength. She also wields the "Horn of Wisdom", a spiritual accessory that partially adds the lightning attribute to her "Steel Gloves".
Frosis

A girl who belongs to the British reserve organization "New Light." She's about 15 years old, with fair skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes, and her hair reaches her shoulders. She drives the group to London and gives instructions on rechecking their spiritual attire, so she may actually be the most reliable member of the group. During the transfer of Cartana Original, she engaged in combat with the Church of Necessarius. She ended up facing off against Kanzaki Kaori.
Rancis

A girl who belongs to the British organization "New Light," a reserve force. He appears to be equipped with a unique spiritual outfit called the "Claw," but as he is the only one who has not had the opportunity to fight, it is unknown what abilities he possesses. He has brown hair that he holds back with a headband. He also has the most unfortunate chest of all the "New Light," but it is apparently larger than Misaka's. He did not fight the Church of Necessary Evil during the transfer of Cartana the Original, as he was the only one waiting 30km north of London to act as the recipient.
United Kingdom
Queen Elizard of England

The leader of the "Royalist Faction," one of the three factions in England. She possesses all the talents of her daughters. The author calls her "the ideal ruler." Her daughters are Limea, Carissa, and Varian. During the coup, she used a spell called the "Union Jack" to distribute Curtana's telesma, helping to resolve the coup.
Rimeea
Source: A Certain Magical Index ©Kamachi Kazuma/ASCII Media Works/PROJECT-INDEX
The eldest daughter of Queen Elizard of England and the First Princess of England. She is a beautiful woman in her early 30s with smooth black hair and a monocle over her left eye. Among the three British princess sisters, she is known as the most intelligent and calm strategist. Due to her status as a princess, she does not trust anyone in positions of power who knows her. However, on the other hand, she seems to be very open with those who do not know that she is a princess, and frequently sneaks out of the palace to go to the castle town while keeping her identity hidden.
Kyarisa

A beautiful blonde in her late twenties with stunning proportions. She inherited the military talents of Queen Elizard. This is clearly evident from the fact that he was able to fight on equal terms with the three saint-level warriors, the Commander of the Knights, William Orwell, and Kanzaki Kaori, and still hold his own evenly with the help of Kamijou Touma, Amakusa Shiki, the British Puritans, and the Anuse Squad.

She possesses high natural physical abilities and a physique so strong that she can withstand a bomber raid without a single scratch. Curtana wields the ceremonial sword (Curtana), a sword passed down through the British royal family and used in the coronation of kings. The sword's owner, within the United Kingdom, can virtually obtain powers equivalent to those of the "God-like One (Michael)." Furthermore, by associating the "Knights" with the Angel Army, it can grant immense power. The sword itself was originally a ceremonial sword used to separate British territory from Earth and control its interior. Its properties can be applied to perform the "All-Dimensional Severing Ceremony," which cuts through any dimension within that coordinate, regardless of whether it is a lower or higher dimension. This spell creates dimensional debris.
Villian
The third daughter of Queen Elizard of England and the third princess of England. She is a sheltered princess, like something out of a picture book. Among the three British princesses, she is considered the most "virtuous," but compared to her two older sisters, she has always been treated as a weaker player in the royal family.
Commander of the Knights
Source: A Certain Magical Index ©Kamachi Kazuma/ASCII Media Works/PROJECT-INDEX
The leader of the Knights, one of the three British factions. A tall man in his 30s who pledges loyalty to the "Royalists." He's a friend of William Orwell and an accomplice in Carissa's coup. He easily defeated the saintly Kagami Kaori and gave William Orwell a tough time.
Summary
Many new organizations and characters will be introduced in the Russia arc. Doing some preparation before watching the third season will definitely enhance your enjoyment. Itsuwa will be featured as the heroine, so be sure to check out her performance in the anime.
