And of course, the comments and reactions of the fans were not long in coming, as they were very excited to celebrate this good news waiting for the long awaited return of To Aru Majutsu no Index. Some surprised by these two decades that have passed quickly and who remember starting with the story when they were young, but undoubtedly all agree on one thing, to see the long-awaited fourth season and that this begins to adapt the so-called New Testament.
To Aru Majutsu no Index takes us to a world where magic and the supernatural coexist normally with technology and science. Here we meet Touma Kamijou, a boy whose right arm has the power to nullify all supernatural occurrences, unfortunately this includes his own luck, which causes various misfortunes to happen. This unfortunate boy walks through the academy city, when he stumbles upon a girl dressed as a nun, who is called the Index, with the magical power to invoke more than 103,000 magical books, thus beginning the adventures of these two in a somewhat peculiar world full of mysteries that fans loved in these 20 years.
