A Certain Magical Index: The Miracle of Endymion 2013

The Spaceplane Orion crashes to Earth, and yet remarkably there are no reported casualties among its 88 passengers, a miracle that is celebrated as such by all who survive the ordeal. Fast forward three years, and Academy City is on the verge of completing Endymion, a colossal space elevator designed to ferry people into orbit without the need for traditional spacecraft. In the midst of this advancing tech-magic frontier, Toma Kamijo and Index cross paths with a young singer and Level 0 esper named Arisa Meigo, whose presence hints at something far larger than a talent contest.

Arisa Meigo Arisa Meigo relations become the focus of attention when a casual encounter spirals into danger. As she and her new companions share a moment of ordinary fun, Arisa reveals she has just passed an audition to be the campaign girl for Endymion, a role that could push her into the public eye in ways she never anticipated. But the calm is short-lived. That same night, Shutaura Sequenzia, a ruthless operator of the Black Crow Unit, and a trio of Church of England witches— Marie Spearhead Marie Spearhead and the enigmatic Jane Elves Jane Elves among them—stage a sudden assault. The attackers are not just hostile; they are a sign that the science-faith divide is about to widen into open conflict. The skirmish forces them to retreat under pressure, aided briefly by Kaori Kanzaki’s intervention, and they leave Toma with a cryptic warning: Arisa’s very presence could ignite a war between the magical and the scientific factions.

In the aftermath, Toma tries to keep Arisa safe by offering her a place at his dorm until her schedule allows her to perform. His offer comes with practical constraints: he must attend a series of supplementary lessons, so Mikoto Misaka Mikoto Misaka and her friends accompany Arisa to a mall where she is set to perform as part of the Endymion publicity. During that promotional event, Toma witnesses a dramatic confrontation: Shutaura confronts a mysterious automaton that destroys part of the stage, revealing that the magicians view Arisa with both hope and suspicion. Shutaura confesses a skepticism about miracles and acknowledges Arisa’s unusual connection to events beyond ordinary memory.

As the night unfolds, Arisa divulges a troubling gap in her memory spanning the last three years. Toma seeks out Motoharu Tsuchimikado Motoharu Tsuchimikado and Kaori, who both believe in the possibility that Arisa may indeed bear Saintlike significance. Meanwhile, Stiyl Magnus Stiyl Magnus and his associates kidnap Arisa, while Shutaura and the Black Crow Unit struggle to break free and escape their pursuers. The tension thickens as Stiyl explains Endymion’s nature: it is a makeshift Tower of Babel, something that could be turned into a grand magical device if the power of a Saint can be harnessed.

The pursuit leads Shutaura to Ladylee Tangleroad Ladylee Tangleroad, CEO of Orbit Portal Company, where a grim revelation awaits. Ladylee’s dark ambition centers on absorbing Arisa’s power to escape a curse of immortality she has carried for years. In a brutal clash, Shutaura confronts Ladylee, but Ladylee survives an attempt on her life, and she commands two automatons to seal Shutaura away. Arisa is then compelled to sing in Endymion, activating a vast magical circle that stretches across the sky above Earth and draws every present into its reach. The odds of survival grow slimmer by the moment as the world braces for an unstable cosmic event.

With Endymion’s magic spiraling out of control, Toma and Index push forward toward space, aided by Kaori. Shutaura, pursuing her own ascent, joins the ascent of the others, while Mikoto Misaka, alongside Accelerator, and Stiyl Magnus fight to destabilize the Endymion construct from the ground. The group manages to sever explosive bolts that would have released Endymion’s destructive power onto the planet below, buying precious time for a final confrontation. Toma utilizes his Imagine Breaker on Shutaura, unlocking a long-buried memory of her own: Arisa’s existence was born from Shutaura’s wish to save everyone on the plane, even at the cost of those closest to her.

In a climactic duet, Arisa and Shutaura join their voices in a single, resonant performance, while Index’s ongoing contributions help stabilize the surrounding spellwork. The combined effort, aided by Mikoto’s support and the strategic countermeasures from Accelerator and Stiyl, strips Ladylee of her spell and averts Endymion’s fall toward Earth. The catastrophe is averted not by force alone, but by reconciliation, as Endymion and its magical framework are finally merged into a single, complex harmony. In the quiet that follows, Toma and Index can still hear Arisa’s song echoing somewhere in the distance, a reminder that the line between science and magic remains blurred, yet somehow held together by a shared thread of hope.

The cosmos holds its breath as Endymion’s tremors subside, and the world begins to recover from the brink of catastrophe. What remains is a memory of voices raised in harmony, a sense that miracles may be interpreted—and protected—through human courage, stubborn will, and the willingness to trust another side of the coin. The story closes with a lingering note: Arisa’s melody lingers in the air, a beacon that hints at future collaborations between science and magic, and a reminder that even in a divided world, unity can emerge when people choose to listen.
