I'm reading the Manga To Aru Kagaku no Choudenjibou, and from what I have seen of this character so far, I hate him as much as I do Rolo from Code Guess..
I know what he's talking about. But the series is called "To Aru Kagaku no Railgun" (kanji notwithstanding). What I'd like to know is why on earth he refers to it using a title not even the Japanese use.
Well no one calls it To Aru Majutsu no Kinsho Mokuroku, do they? The reason they don't is because furigana in both titles indicates that Kinsho Mokuroku is meant to be read as Index while Choudenjibou is meant to be read as Railgun.

Have you read the manga, or watched the anime? If not, you should, and if you have, then you should know better. He became a better person (Thanks to last order) So wishing death upon him is really idiotic. Plus, do you want him to die because you think he's EVIL? Or something? Its only because of what happened to him in his past. I'm sure you would be like that too...or not, reading your post makes me think otherwise, wishing people to die, even if the AREN'T real.
.....
I don't meant to blow this out of context, but I'm serious, before you judge someone, or wish that they would die, at least make sure that they are actually HORRIBLE enough...and so on/so forth.
I agree with AmazingNumbers. The To Aru Kagaku no Railgun manga doesn't go as far nor cover as many facts as the light novels do, which is why it's best to read those first before jumping on the manga and/or anime. In the light novels, after realizing what he did was wrong, he undergoes major character development and tries to repent and become a better person. Sure, at one point, he really was evil, but that was because of his upbringing and the fact that the researchers involved with the Experiment told him that the Sisters were just dolls. After being defeated, he finds that they do have feelings and does his best to protect them, and vows to never hurt another Sister again. Like Dalveska said, compared to other villains in anime and manga, the things he did are mild, and the fact that he changed some of those ways makes wishing he would die even more ridiculous.
Just wanted to state my opinion. It feels really weird to bring up a topic that people stopped discussing a year ago :D
