Description
Personality
Kamijou Touma is the impulsive, selfless protagonist of *Toaru Majutsu no Index*. He acts before thinking, prioritizing saving others even at great personal risk, often ending up hospitalized. His defining characteristic is his unwavering commitment to helping those in need, a trait he displays even when suffering from amnesia. While kind and well-mannered, he's not afraid to confront those who harm innocents, particularly women who endanger others. He's also prone to unintentionally causing misunderstandings due to his poor choice of words. Despite his heroic nature, Touma is self-deprecating, often lamenting his bad luck and downplaying his accomplishments.

Abilities
Touma Kamijou possesses no inherent superpowers or magical abilities in the traditional sense. His power, known as Imagine Breaker, is unique and passive. It's a right hand that negates all forms of supernatural abilities, including magic, esper powers, and even certain divine abilities. It doesn't enhance his physical strength or speed; rather, it acts as a nullifier, rendering attacks ineffective. The extent of its power is constantly tested and expanded upon throughout the series, facing increasingly powerful opponents. While it can negate almost any ability, it doesn't grant him invulnerability to physical attacks or the effects of mundane phenomena. His strength lies in his unwavering determination, his ability to connect with others, and his capacity to use Imagine Breaker strategically in conjunction with his own resourcefulness and fighting skills.
