Aihana Etsu (藍花 悦, Aihana Etsu?), also

referred to as the Number Six (第六位, Number
Six?), is the sixth ranked Level 5 esper in
Academy City. A recurring joke in the series is
the mystery surrounding their identity.

Chronology

Other Appearances

Abilities

Aihana's ability allows them to give others power

and make them into their 'ideal self'.[2] The exact
mechanisms at work are not entirely clear, but
by having their target accept their o!er and
picture their ideal self, the version of themselves
that they wish to be, Aihana can apparently
make them become that ideal self, granting
them the power they wish for.[2] It has been
compared to instantly transforming anyone into
a protagonist without any annoying training or
levelling up.[2]

The process is a!ected by several factors, one

of which is the target's imagination. Aihana
generally does not give suggestions as they
would narrow the imagination.[2] According to
Aihana, although they can give someone power,
they can't say they actually 'creates' the power.
[2] It may also be limited by certain external
conditions.[2] Aihana lends people the name and
identity of Aihana Etsu when aiding them, either
directly or indirectly, by themselves or through a
proxy. Whether this is a necessary part of the
empowerment process is not fully confirmed.[1]
[2]

When trying to get Kamijou Touma to accept

their o!er, Aihana gave an example of what their
power might be able to accomplish - pointing to
the whistle which Touma had received from
Shokuhou Misaki, which and whom he could no
longer remember.[2] Aihana claimed that if
Touma wished to know the meaning behind the
whistle or was interested in recovering his lost
memories, he could do it as long as he arranged
the necessary conditions in the city.[2] Aihana
also claimed that it was more convenient than
what Rensa had.[2]

The nature of this ability is not one suited for

direct combat, meaning Aihana has to use or
work with others to achieve their goals.[2] When
forced to step outside of their safe zone and
face an injured Kamijou Touma in a physical
clash, they were easily knocked out.[2]

The distorted view seen by Kamijou Touma duri…

When Aihana approached the ravaged Kamijou

Touma, the latter experienced audio and visual
distortions in his perception of his surroundings.
[2] As he was descending the stairs (which
seemed not to change no matter how many
flights he went down), he felt a sensation
described like walking on flu!y clouds, with light
blurring and the deafening noise around him
becoming distorted. When Aihana appeared on
the landing before him and spoke, Touma was
fairly sure they had not been there before and
he could only see a vague outline, like a scene
filmed through an out-of-focus video camera. At
the same time, the surrounding noise
disappeared. When he tried to slip past and
descend the next flight of stairs (not seeming to
make progress), he found Aihana waiting for him
on the next landing (even after placing his right
hand to his head).[2] After Aihana's introduction,
the visual distortions spread out with the walls
and floors (which had calming colors for the
benefit of patients) flashing with bright colors
and stairs starting to bend and undulate.[2] The
illusion disappeared after Aihana was knocked
out.[2]
Aihana's voice during this encounter was
described as a genderless soprano, likely
intentionally modified to make it di"cult to
discern with a distortion sometimes running
through it, which dropped terrifyingly deep
when angered.[2]

Trivia

In Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 3,

Kamijou Touma stumbles upon the esper
names of the seven Level 5s in documents
related to the Level 6 Shift project, but he
skips past those names.
Some fans speculate that the Number Six is
Aogami Pierce (thus making "Aihana Etsu"
his real name), since pre-memory loss
Touma considered him and Misaka Mikoto
"tough people who he would not have to
worry about getting involved" in the trouble
revolving around Index.
Hints and piece of information regarding
Aihana Etsu and their ability, prior to 2014,
have included:
As with the other Level 5s except
Accelerator, Aihana cannot achieve a
stable Level 6.[8][9]
As Rensa can utilize Aihana's ability (as
well as those of the other Level 5s apart
from Sogiita Gunha's currently
unexplainable power), it can be inferred
that their ability can be scientifically
explained and reproduced.[10]
Given narration and Accelerator's
thoughts, Aihana's ability is not a wind-
related power.[11]
Given comments concerning Misaka
Mikoto's selection for the demonstration
at the Russian Shopping Center, it
could be inferred that, like the other
Level 5s, they don't have a reasonable
personality.[12]
Level 5s have been described as having
enough power to fight evenly with an
army, so it has been assumed that
Aihana was capable of this in their own
way.[13]
After the release of Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu
no Index Volume 7, there was confusion
over whether the name "Aihana Etsu" was
the Number Six's real name or just the
impostor's name. In Shinyaku Toaru
Majutsu no Index Volume 12, Yokosuka
confirmed it as the former.
Aihana uses the first-person pronoun "boku"
(僕, "boku"?).[2]
