Chronology
Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index
Agitate Halation Arc
- Main article: Agitate Halation Arc
During the riots in Academy City's Learning Core involving 7,500 "heroes", a group of people assume that a boy claiming to be Aihana Etsu is the Number Six since he defeated them with only his fists and without any apparent ability. Shokuhou Misaki, noticing him, claims that he is pretending to be the Number Six Level 5, and therefore has no connection to her, thereby indicating that she probably knows the real person.[1]
In the conclusion of the arc, Kihara Noukan states that "the Level 5s gathered in one place", hinting that either the Number Six actually was present in Learning Core, that Noukan was simply only referring to the other level 5s, or that Noukan was fooled by the imposter's acting.[2]
Magic God Othinus Arc
- Main article: Magic God Othinus Arc
Aihana Etsu officially debuts in person in this arc, though his or her features are kept nondescript and referred to as the Number Six rather than by name. When Academy City sends an email to the seven Level 5s "requesting the death of Magic God Othinus and Kamijou Touma who is traveling with her", Number Six silently toys with the phone.[3]
St. Germain Arc
- Main article: St. Germain Arc
Following the events at the Dianoid, during which Kanou Shinka made use of his name, Aihana Etsu speaks with Yokosuka, who has been assisting him with his plans of helping people solve their problems by allowing them to use Aihana's name as the 6th-ranked Level 5 on his behalf.[4]
Toaru Kagaku no Railgun
Daihasei Festival Arc
- Main article: Daihasei Festival Arc (Railgun)
Aihana Etsu is mentioned (as the Number Six) when Yamane, who is part of a group tasked with convincing the seven Level 5s to hold demonstrations during the Daihasei Festival, tries to track them down, but he is unable to find any trace of them.[5]

The Number Six is mentioned when a pirated broadcast lists off the epithets of the seven Level 5s. Humorously, they are introduced as "Eh, who's that Number Six...? Well, forget about it".[6]
Trivia
- In 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, 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.
Quotes
- (While toying with the phone, from NT Volume 10): "..."
