| without a doubt the best ep so far. |
 |
| THIS EPISODE WAS GODLIKE, Niko and her fortress going ape shit, Kuro with ginsu samurai skill and then the lvl 9 battle, man it just doesnt get any better then this. Crow need to step it the fuck up. |
| Nice of Yellow Radio to add the nostalgic, old-timey filter onto his home movie. A lot of people seem to get stuck with really crappy-looking avatars in the Accelerated World. Magnet guy, drillcrotch, etc.. |
| Please don't tell me Accel World is just Guilty Crown ver. 2.0. That lame BSOD just so that she won't be doing anything for half of the show, essentially the only reason the whole episode took more than 20 minutes...uggh |
 |
Wow, the fight was awesome. Glad the clown dude got owned, hate friggin clowns lol. Also that beheading scene wasn't exactly how I imagined. Well atleast Lotus pulled herself together. Taku, Haru, Niko everyone were great. Looking forward to next episode. |
|
| This episode was awesome. 5/5 Even if the scene lasted no that much, the animation was so smooth. Too bad it stopped in its climax. Now I can't wait to next week episode. However it feels a little bit cliché and slow at some moments and at the middle with these friendship speech and things like that. I'm not really into things like that. Accel World just won one point. |
| Lot of action absolutely love it !! |
 |
| Best episode so far, this wasn't lame action this was amazing. The ending was surprising, I wonder if Chrome Disaster still is a person with memories or if he's really on his mission to kill everybody. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Black Lotus is BEASTLY! I was really looking forward to her and Yellow Radio's kill moves. Hopefully will get to see some more level 9 action like that in the near future. I wonder how strong Chrome Disaster will be. Hopefully he's some OP Berserker that will rampage throughout the city. That would make for some crazy action! |

| This episode give so many pokemonish vibes with all the different skills & stuff. |
 |
| Quite positive suprise (end). |

| I thought Haru would be learning how to pwn this game by now. But he is still playing like a newb. I thought he was some sort of ultimate gamer. You take away his quick reaction time and he's nothing. When are we suppose to see his mad gaming skills? |
 |
| Nice action packed episode! Snowblack went into shock after seeing her horrible past. Sorry to see Takasu go, he died protecting his friend and master though. He'll most certainly still be there in the real world. In the end Haru's words woke Snowblack up and then she finally got to kick some ass! And then ladies and gentlemen, the new generation Chrome Disaster has finally appeared and even killed Yellow. Will Red, Black and Silver get away from him in time? Judging from the preview they won't even try, but fight him head on! |
 |
| Holy mother of God, this was an intense episode. It was the best I've seen in a long time. Man, I was on the edge of my couch, and then I got up yelling "Get up, Lotus! GET UP!" at the screen. 10/10. Amazing episode. |

Things are a bit too random and juvenile. Everyone spends too much time standing around politely waiting for other people to finish their whiny, self-absorbed conversations in the middle of an alleged battle to the death. Bad flashbacks. Stupid rules, e.g. double pain, that don't seem to actually mean anything. Too much emphasis on events that are trivial. Anyway, glad to see that there's finally some action underway but there's room for improvement. Will give it the benefit of the doubt but I'm hoping that next episode will get it together. |

Everyone spends too much time standing around politely waiting for other people to finish their whiny, self-absorbed conversations in the middle of an alleged battle to the death. It's called drama though. This is not like the one-flash-kill type of show. At least not between important characters. Not everyone likes drama. Also, things are not random unless you haven't really been paying attention. So far this series is very consistent in terms of character and plot. Mockman said: Bad flashbacks. Stupid rules, e.g. double pain, that don't seem to actually mean anything. Too much emphasis on events that are trivial. Those events are not trivial but merely informative on how AW works. The double pain is a decorative factual information. Mockman said: Anyway, glad to see that there's finally some action underway but there's room for improvement. Will give it the benefit of the doubt but I'm hoping that next episode will get it together. I don't think action is what makes this series interesting though. More action != better series [start rant not targetting quoted users but in general] I hope people here have not sunk too far into the traps of viewing everything from a tinted POV from the get-go. Once you start doing that, you will start labelling anything that does not look like artsy like Mononoke, that does not look like a classic such LOGH, that does not look psychological complex like Monster or that does not look like a good Noitamina shoujo/josei comedy like Nodame as "generic shounen/moe shit". Are these series really that great? Maybe. But they are far from being flawless. I can in fact bash my favourite series of all time I want. I will always be able to find something really stupid because this is all fiction and I read too much tv tropes. However, that does not prevent me from giving them 10's because you have to give a benefit of doubt. Sometimes, the hardcore fans can be annoying but the haters are often just as annoying. This is cartoons lol. Of course there will be "juvenile" series. It's all a matter of perspective. The question is realizing that this type of series is not really for you so you don't have to waste your time/money. Unless you have anime completion OCD of course. You really have to realize what this series is aiming and what it is for. I actually like Queen's Blade. I don't watch it for the plot though. I watch it for the facepalmness and the ROTFL moments of "oh man I have nothing to say about this scene" A good example of how perspective can change is with the Zetman adaptation. As a reader of the manga, I did not like the adaptation because I knew how it was done in the manga. However, even the manga was quite jumpy at best. It presents a somewhat interesting perspective on justice but remains mostly incoherent and I wouldn't really recommend it. The anime adaptation somewhat got rid of the jumpiness but because of the prior knowledge of the "canon" material, I was biased from the get-go on how the adaptation was done. From an objective point of view, the Zetman anime adaptation wasn't THAT bad. A lot of the people who didn't read the manga actually liked it. What I am betting on is that the people who have only watched the anime would not think the manga is better if they start reading it. [/rant] |

But in this unlimited filed, even if you are defeated, you will not log out. Instead, a counter will appear, and once it reaches zero, you will revive. |
|
| Totally shocked at the end of this ep. Cherry Rook(Infiniti Armor) stabs the Yellow King. D: |
| Holy fudge, that was amazing. Awesome fights, lots of yelling and drama. This is all I want from a shounen series, packed into a single episode. Crazy lolis help too, of course. |
| Breathtaking episode indeed. The only regret I have is that the battle between Black Lotus and yellow Radio was so short for now, and mostly blurry. |
  |
| Wonderful episode full of action It reminded me of Transformers on Cybertron The drawings and backgrounds looks similar, although it's been a very long time since I've seen that show |
| So EPIC! This episode was by far the best one yet, the action was just awesome! -Koyuki- said: kuroyukihime and that red haired girl was soo badass <3333 ^^^^^^^^^^^^ That! So badass!! |
 |
| I hate how it all relies on cliches (I doubt that someone wouldn't be aiming at Black Lotus), but this is still an epic episode nonetheless. Damn, that cliffhanger.... |

 Somebody is really pissed. |
| What an episode. The battle between level 9 rocks. |
| Wow, an episode with fighting that didn't suck. The anime has spent the last few episodes building up the characters and their relationships and it pays off with this episode. The fighting actually carried some weight this time and it actually felt like a life and death struggle. Over the last few episodes the storytelling has improved and the characters have actually gotten more interesting as they've gained dimensions beyond their basic archetypes. Also, is this guy way overcompensating for something or what...  |
 |
| Just like Guilty Crown - good idea, good visual effects, good music, but the fucken characters. So damn annoying. Holy. |
    |
| Fucking awesome episode, damn shit got intense. The fights were awesome and I loved it. Everyone just going nuts attacking everywhere, and holy smokes Niko just blowing shit up left and right. Haha her maniac face was great. And Kuroyuki is a beasttt damn, she was just mowing down everyone in her way. That fight scene with her and Yellow Radio, wow that was great. Nice to see that flashback of the betrayal, and ooh I didn't expect it to have such an emotional impact on Kuroyuki. But oh yeah Haru's there with his speech and got her up. Lol probably mainly because of him acting as if she loved the red king before, so she just had to wake up and correct him. |
 |
| Totally didn't imagined Red Rider act like that. I imagined him being a badass. Damn... |
| That "Death By embrace" gave me goosebumps, imagine if it was a real human body... lol Red Rider's head sliding down her "blade arm" ---------- and Like always watching Accel world feels like it's accelerating my own time. WRF that it feels so short. |

| Alright I damn well LOVE Accel World and this was quite the beautiful action packed episode but a few things are tugging at my mind. If someone breaks the non-aggression treaty then the legion of which the victim is affiliated with gets to choose who they get to exile from the Accelerated World? For people who strive for democracy and founded the treaty this was a terrible decision. It's pretty much giving the victim's legion a chance to KO anyone they want regardless of whether or not the person chosen is innocent or not. Of course the legion master may punish the offender instead of the other method, but it is shown in the series that this isn't always possible. Shouldn't the affected legion and the offending legion then team up in order to punish the offender so a random innocent doesn't have his acceleration powers stripped from him? Also, Yellow Radio said he PREPARED a counter specifically for Black Lotus. Why? Unless Yellow Radio has been spying on them in real life he should have had no prior knowledge pertaining to the Red and Black King's alliance. Building on that last point, Yellow Radio isn't exactly the best strategist. Sure he had various legion members supporting him, but what was he supposed to do if the memories had no effect on Kuroyukihime? The central idea of his plan was "Knock dat black woman out with memories lol" what if she just... didn't become incapacitated? This part just kind of made me angry. Okay, level 9's. They're top shit. Best in the world. No one can match them. Leaders of the entire accelerated world. Years of combat experience. And what happens? The Red King is rendered useless by some random jamming technique. Are you kidding me? One random level who knows what burst linker can just cripple a king like it's childs play? Finally, how exactly did Yellow Radio fight hand to hand with Black Lotus? They ARE both level 9 but Radio spent all his level up bonuses into illusion skills. Am I expected to believe a king that focuses on illusions and skills can match Black Lotus (Who is obviously a hand to hand combat type, seeing as how she's kind of made out of swords) in hand to hand combat? Radio should have gotten his shit slapped. But uh, other than those minor gripes I'm lovin' this show so much. |

The Jamming of course didn't affect Scarlet Rain, but if affected her equipment the fortress. |

| Every character has its weakness and strength. Even thou, these lvl 9 king are powerful, but that doesn't mean they never lose before.For example, fire element is powerful but it can easily defeated by water element, this is very basic in most game. That's why they create "Region" to control the land for their own safety to avoid being killed by other Region king. |

Hell, the equipment IS her skills and power. Taking away her fortress is like stripping Haru of his wings and speed, or depriving Yellow Radio of his illusions, or removing all of Black Lotus' attack power. |
| Nice action going on with Kuroyuki fighting Yellow Radio, looked pretty sweet but didn't like how Haru brought Kuroyuki back. Scarlet Rain was pure madness destroying those weaklings. CD randomly showing up and stabbing YR was totally surprising but I hate this season for all those cliffhangers, stop it, seriously. Selsica said: They ARE both level 9 but Radio spent all his level up bonuses into illusion skills. You don't know that. |

Selsica said: They ARE both level 9 but Radio spent all his level up bonuses into illusion skills. You don't know that. Maybe not all of them but a large chunk of his bonuses went into illusion. In a story every character needs something that differentiates them from another, and the kings are perfectly segregated. Each color represents a different specialization. Seeing as how Radio didn't use any illusion's against Black Lotus she should have destroyed him. |
| Oh Taku, you're a worthless peon and you'll always be a worthless peon. Fantastic action and the animation in this ep was well worth the wait and then some. The battles were incredible and the fight between two level 9ers was on a whole other level literally. Must say, while i understand the remorse & self loathing that Black Snow feels for what she did, in my books, she only went up in my perception of her. That video just illustrated that the previous Red King was a moron. I mean if you're gullible enough to allow someone to embrace you in a deadly Guillotine hold then you deserve to die. I'll admit its a little morbid but what she did was kinda funny. |
 |
| Definitely the best episode visually and dramatically by far. Well directed too and well as great voice acting to bring out everything they could out of the characters |

 "You are about to get owned" face. Awesome episode. |
 |
| is Taku done? Just when he was getting useful. I really don't like if he's out already. he added more as a fighter than just background friend character. I like this Yellow Radio guy, he's got style. Still gotta wonder why him and that crew started something against 2 level 9's if they couldn't handle it? I guess they expected Red loli to be a lone. Still taking out that many seemed stupid. There isn't even points on the line when they fight there right? I guess fat boy wasn't that annoying this time? They should have been teaming against Chrome Disaster form the beginning either way. |

Shouldn't the affected legion and the offending legion then team up in order to punish the offender so a random innocent doesn't have his acceleration powers stripped from him? It is ridiculous. But maybe the rules are set up like that so that no underling one would DARE break the treaty. If an underling broke the non-aggression pact, their own king and legion would have to kill them to appease the other legion. If the offending underling doesn't get killed off, the offended legion could target any legion member for retribution and the other non-affiliated legions would have to sit by and watch. It's actually a smart way to keep all the legions in line. Yellow Radio is just simply "playing the game." Yellow Radio gave Cherry Rook the cursed armor knowing that Rook's special abilities would make it hard for Scarlet Rain to get close enough to kill him. So, after Rook broke the treaty and Scarlet failed to kill him to settle the debt, Yellow Radio could then choose Scarlet as his sacrifice. His whole scheme was to circumvent the treaty's rules so he could legally claim the right of retribution on Scarlet Rain and gang up on her with his minions. The other Kings would just have to sit back and let it happen or risk breaking the treaty themselves and start a full scale war. It's something that addicted burst linking kings wouldn't dare do since they're afraid of losing their accel powers. It's Yellow Radio's way of trying to get closer to lvl 10 without becoming a "traitor" like Black Lotus did. I think your coming at non-aggression pact like it's some unjust government law. Your thinking about it all wrong. The treaty isn't designed to be fair and just or about individual rights. It's main purpose is to keep the peace and order between the King's and their legions. I'd equate it to more of a truce between rival gangs or a bunch of banana republic states. Selsica said: Also, Yellow Radio said he PREPARED a counter specifically for Black Lotus. Why? Unless Yellow Radio has been spying on them in real life he should have had no prior knowledge pertaining to the Red and Black King's alliance. Yellow Radio probably had it close by him after he knew Black Lotus had resurfaced. Hell, if I knew some badass purple and black vixen was gunning for my head, I'd keep some extra ammo ready just in case. I don't think that Yellow Radio was expecting Black Lotus to team up with Scarlet Rain. But when he saw them together, I think he got greedy and figured he could take them both out at once since they both had broken the treaty and are fair game under the treaty rules. He just forgot about someone, the reason why Scarlet Rain and Black Lotus were in the neutral field in the first place. Selsica said: Building on that last point, Yellow Radio isn't exactly the best strategist. Sure he had various legion members supporting him, but what was he supposed to do if the memories had no effect on Kuroyukihime? The central idea of his plan was "Knock dat black woman out with memories lol" what if she just... didn't become incapacitated? Yes, it was a gamble. I also think if the psychological tactic didn't work Yellow Radio would have backed off and fled the scene using his legion as cover. But since it did work for a short time, he was willing to go after Scarlet Rain with his group and hopefully finish Black Lotus off after. Like i said before, Yellow Radio's biggest miscalculation was not realizing or remembering that Scarlet Rain and and Black Lotus were originally hunting Cherry Rook and that all the commotion would draw him to the scene. He also miscalculated the power of the Instant Japanese "gan batte" dialogue therapy. It works every time. kaimax said: Selsica said: This part just kind of made me angry. Okay, level 9's.

The Jamming of course didn't affect Scarlet Rain, but if affected her equipment the fortress. What he said. Also, different characters have different abilities that can trump other characters abilities. You've already seen this in a lot of the fights so far. I'm sure Scarlet Rain could easily take out Satellite radar guy by herself. But she's the "Boss" target in a MMO raid. She's got over a dozen guys trying to can open her fortress and she can't risk getting out without getting swarmed. She's also a ranged type fighter even if she's super powered LVL 9, she'd be beaten down by a swarm of mid-level melee fighters.

He probably was just surviving by parrying Black Lotus's attacks until he could (re)charge his special skills. I'm Sure if Cherry Rook didn't show up right then, Black Lotus would have sliced Yellow Radio in half. |

Cirris said: Yellow Radio wouldn't have been a King if his fighting skills weren't great. Mind you, Yellow Radio would have at least fought in the Unlimited Neutral Field and against tons of players too to reach level 9. He's bound to have a significant amount of fighting prowess. Just that he is obviously inferior to Black Lotus there since yellow focuses more on indirect attacks.Selsica said: Finally, how exactly did Yellow Radio fight hand to hand with Black Lotus?

| Holy shit. Damn, this episode was nothing short of awesome. The intense action was simply breathtaking! It took Black Lotus long enough to recover from her Heroic BSOD, but when she did, she owned. Scarlet Rain let loose with unbelievable firepower, befitting that of a level 9 avatar. Yellow Radio squaring off with Black Lotus was an awesome fight as well, until the Yellow King got "mauled by the mad dog he was feeding". A spin on getting a taste of his own medicine. Points to Cyan Pile for buying the team some valuable time, and at least he brought down someone else along with him before going out. I hope this isn't the last we see of him, that he just "respawns" elsewhere or something. Points docked from Silver Crow for failing to remember to save himself by using the ground. Fortunately, none of the ambushers were opportunistic enough to attack Black Lotus while she was down. |
