After watching episode I asked myself, "so now I have to like Accelerator" I said after a while, "definitely not", that he saved two people, does not make him a good person it is not enough after what he did.


Actually it wasnt just Last order and Yoshikawa that he saved. By erasing the virus code in Last order's brain before it spread he saved all of the remaining Misaka sisters from being infected by it which they would have went beserk and then died. Plus he saved the thousands of civilains that would have been killed by the infected clones. So in reality he too a bullet in the head to save 9,971+ thousands more. Plus he feels genuine remorse for what he has done to the Misakas. What else more could you asks of him?

What a sad episode... so important things lost for Accelerator..

But then again it's a happy episode and well made because in the end you can't save someone without loosing something else. In Touma's case he lost his memories.

Nice ED.

Not a bad episode, but the events were sorta off for me. Way too convenient. Even with these little questionable parts the execution was good so I still enjoyed it.

Awwwn, Accelerator can be such a sweet guy when he doesn't make those creepy face... :3

That other guy was such a dumbass, going on a rampage for no reason. Wanted him to have a more painful death.

Loli MISAKA was saved! Casually putted in a car, sleeping... Nothing wrong here...

Interesting espisode. The character development on Accelerator and the researcher was awesome. The omission of detail in some of the scenes was meh, but still I really liked it. Wish I got to see Accelerator carrying her to the hospital, that would've been epic.

If Accelerator got his brain damaged with the shot to the point where he loses hist ability to speak, why was he able to speak right after he got shot? Has anyone an explanation for this?

Well it seems that some people here thinks that a bad guy should remain as a bad guy and can never redeem himself. So i suppose you believe that those people who got out of jail would still be bad and evil?? Thats rather hypocratical of u dontcha think?

Yeah "two people".Even if it was like this, that is enough.

He saved more than two people. If the virus had gotten out, the sisters will go berserk and start attacking all human beings. So Accelerator had saved everyone in the city, in other words.

By the way, why didnt the author announce accelerator's true gender yet? Unless he's actually a she and the author want to keep that as a twist later on. And does Touma losing his memory have any significance? It seemed that it did nothing to affect the plot much. Unless it would be important for later events??

Last question, are the two boys in the beginning accelerator and touma??????? They knew each other as children????

KaMisa...Misa..kaka...Mikakasasa...Misamisa...LOL. This is what they call a serious humor (refer to Bakuman). The situation was serious but Last Order rapping made it more funnier, LOL.

The more funnier is Aoi when he screamed like a coward girl, haha.

Loving Accelerator so far, can't wait to see his further development and relationship with little Misa. I've got the feeling that Accelerator is one of those characters who I'm going to love... Idk.. :D
Really enjoyed these last episodes, very interesting. Got some brand new information and a little insight to Accelerator's life after getting beaten. Loved him when he was crazy, loving him even more now as an anti-hero.
The end of this episode was so sweet. Accelerator saved Misa-Misa and the scientist lady! (sorry I don't remember the name) It was really sweet, didn't expect that. And I'm thrilled that Accelerator actually lives through this.

I didn't like this episode. Every scene on this one were damn predictable.

Every story arc ends in the same way on this show. To save the world, someone has to be sacrificed but a good guy finds a way to save the world without sacrificing her. Instead, the good guy seems to be dead but he wakes up in the hospital, cured by Dr. Frog.


So? Every story is predictable. Might as well stop reading anything if that's the complain.

Yet another arc horribly riddled with gaps in story & character introduction.

With pathetically little relationship-building between Last Order & Accelerator, and almost zero insight into Accelerator's own thoughts; we are led to believe the egomaniac psycho from a few episodes back is that dedicated to saving the life of some clone he met the day before?

There's absolutely no clue why the terroristic male scientist wants his virus to succeed, before or after his death, which just makes him look like a disposable villain with no real incentives.

We have no information on previous interchanges between the lady scientist and the male scientist either. So we can only stare blankly when she goes on about naivete & kindness for half a minute (it's like we're supposed to be moved by the unachieved dreams of some woman who got introduced one episode ago and had around 6 minutes of screentime).

The sci-fi is also off the handle again. Accelerator's actually acting like a USB stick, storing information he somehow retrieved from the PDA he just broke (for whatever reason); whereas his sole power, at least as far as we know, is control over movement. And the bit where he unconsciously controls blood flow while he doesn't even know what occured after he collapsed, let alone the coordinates of the scientist's wound...It's just, it would be much more acceptable if everyone in the anime were magic users. Because half of the explanations the anime gives for these powers goes too deep into bullshit territory.

I kind of liked this one. It ditched most of the fluff that makes this show identifiable, if not unique (the main characters, the moe scenes etc.), so at least I was able to take it somewhat seriously. I may have liked the direction more than the story. Except for the flashback, which didn't reveal anything new about Accelerator.

I agree. This series is pretty formulaic, and I guess there are some of us who find this formula boring.

Seriously, this shows unwillingness to kill characters off is ridiculous of the proportions of Mai Hime.


This bothers me too, but I think it's justified by the how advanced medical care is in this city. It does promote lazy writing, though, I agree on that.

Wow. Just Wow. Accelerator has become the coolest character of all time. Definitely. He using that restore was just awesome.

That researcher was Kikuyo. Didn't expect that coming.

I hope we have more of Last Order and Accelerator. Seriously, Accelerator is a very good guy. He was just messed up due to his child hood circumstances. I mean, without any parents, while everyone targeting him? It was good that Last Order found him and connected with him. I hope he is restored to his former glory.

No, the other boy ain't Touma. Cause for one, Touma's right hand was from birth, and since the bully hit Accelerator with his right hand, there would have been no way that Accelerator would have been able to stop him. Interesting Shout Out though, cause the boy looked very much like Touma.

Also, Accelerator is obviously male. He looks to be female because he restricted some of his hormones like when he blocked out UV. There is a side story with this, where if he was actually a girl, Accelerator would fall for Touma. Well, at least that's what Touma imagines(I didn't know Touma liked to swing that way). But no. His voice is definitely male in nature and if you see this video, you can see that bare chested, he has no female attributes.(Cute Last Order scene in spoiler follows)

I know that what Acellerator did to the 10,000 Misakas in order to climb to level 6 is unforgivable, but what he did now showed that he had a good heart and that if he committed those crimes it was because he felt obligated. It turned out to be a good guy, except for Misaka 20001 to the point of almost losing his own life. Admirable!. It's a shame that Misaka 20001 does not remember the day he spent with him.

Accelerator is the true hero in this series.

He save last order, the remaining remaining Misaka clones and people in the city.
I find him a lot more interesting than Touma.

very hasty to humanise Accelerator in a predictable direction while scoffing off his previous bounties .He didnt exactly just kill 10k Misakas ,he butchered them.Maybe a fault of the anime rushing things up !!And this anime ,atleast till now has fault of bits and pieces joined together every two or three episodes apart without streamlining a cohesive narrative often contradicting each other.Hope it gets better

Damn, that was quite the episode, and mini Misaka, along with the entire Misaka network was saved, by none other than Accelerator, nearly at the cost of his own life.

This one really did have me on the edge of my seat, I'll be honest.

The new ending was pretty sweet too, overall very good episode, and who knew that Accelerator would be the good guy in this.
