* BerserkButton: After learning about Touma's beliefs about himself and any relationships he may have; anyone badmouthing him will immediately gain the near murderous rage of Misaka, Shokuhou, Itsuwa, Index, and Othinus as Kongou would've discovered if she had not been kidnapped.

It doesn't end well.

* SupportingProtagonist: While he is the titular character of the fanfic, and plays a key role in most of the arcs, Touma's role in the story mostly takes a backseat, focusing more on the supporting/minor characters and their interactions (established or new) with him. It becomes egregious during the Uiharu Kazari Arc, in which he ''never'' appears, yet his absence is felt not only by his friends, but also by his enemies, and his impact on the Railgang's personal life is a major source of drama between the girls.

Because Touma lost all his memories before July 28th, he feels that he has done this to the original Kamijou Touma and because of that has decided never to enter into a relationship because it would be another thing taken from the previous Kamijou Touma. Shokuhou, Misaka and Index are in disagreement of course, but Touma stands firm in this belief.
