Who Are The Main Characters In A Certain Magical Index New Testament?

Main characters? Okay, look. It's still Touma's story, fundamentally. But NT introduces a bunch of new heavy-hitters and gives older ones way more to do. Accelerator basically co-leads entire volumes, protecting his 'family' in Academy City's District 7. Misaka Mikoto isn't just chasing Touma anymore; she's dealing with the fallout of the Sisters project on a global scale and butting heads with GREMLIN. The big addition is Othinus. She starts as the main villain, a Magic God who literally rewrites the universe to break Touma, but her arc is the most defining part of NT. By the end of her storyline, she's... complicated. Aleister Crowley stops being a behind-the-scenes voice and becomes an active, chaotic player with his own impossible goals. Then you get figures like Coronzon, a demon who possesses someone close to the main cast, and Kamisato Kakeru with his 'World Rejecter'—another 'normal' guy with a right hand that rivals Imagine Breaker. The cast list explodes, and sometimes it feels like cameo soup, but the core emotional weight rests on Touma, Accelerator, and Othinus's dynamics.

It's a lot to keep track of. Hamazura Shiage and Takitsubo Rikou are still there too, representing the 'underdog' level of power, getting swept up in conflicts way above their pay grade. Their persistence is a nice anchor.

Touma, Accelerator, Mikoto. Othinus is absolutely central—her saga is NT's masterpiece. Aleister steps into the light. New antagonists like Coronzon and Kamisato Kakeru force the old guard to adapt. The cast expands, but the story's soul remains with the original trio plus the one Magic God who changes everything for Touma.

You've come to the right place for NT character breakdowns. The core, obviously, is still Touma Kamijou, even if half the time he's dealing with new threats that are direct results of the climax of the original series. His 'Imagine Breaker' remains central, but the power scaling and political machinations around it get ridiculously intricate. Then you have Accelerator, now the #1 Level 5 acting as the de facto guardian of Last Order and Misaka Worst, trying to navigate a world that's both terrified of him and dependent on him. His internal struggle with atonement versus his monstrous past is the spine of most of his arcs. Misaka Mikoto is still around, but her role evolves beyond just the 'Railgun'; she's deeply entangled in the science side's new conflicts and her connection to the Misaka Network becomes a geopolitical factor. The real newcomers who drive the plot are the Magic Gods, especially Othinus. Her entire arc from ultimate antagonist to... well, something else entirely... redefines the series. Characters like Coronzon, Aleister Crowley (who steps out from the shadows), and Kamisato Kakeru introduce layers of philosophical conflict that make the Academy City vs. Magicians war look simple. It's a massive, sometimes unwieldy ensemble, but the focus sharpens dramatically on Touma and Othinus's... unique relationship in the middle volumes.

Honestly, trying to list them all is a fool's errand. The cast balloons, but for me, the heart of NT is the shift to a more psychological, almost existential battleground. The 'main characters' are less about who punches what and more about whose worldview is being tested and shattered. Even side characters like Hamazura and Takitsubo get pulled into world-ending plots, but their grounding in a more 'normal' life provides crucial contrast. It's messy, ambitious, and if you're coming straight from the original Index, be prepared for a tonal shift that hinges on these new faces.
