The hugely popular anime "A Certain Magical Index". It's been a while since the first episode of the anime ended, but sequels are being announced one after another, and the original work is still popular, so it's still a popular work. And from the summer of 2019, it has been decided that the series' spinoff "A Certain Scientific Accelerator" will finally start airing. Fans are surely looking forward to it. In this article, we will introduce the important keywords in the story, "A Certain Scientific Accelerator" and "Devil". What kind of secrets does it hold? Check it out before the anime airs!
The anime will start in July! What is the story of "A Certain Scientific Accelerator"?
The setting is the same as the previous work, "Academy City". Among them, there are only seven "espers (level 5)", and "Accelerator", one of them, is the strongest esper in Academy City. However, he suffered brain damage when he saved "Last Order". As a result, he is currently hospitalized.
Encounter with DA
One night, an intruder appears at the hospital where Accelerator is hospitalized. It is the magician girl Estelle Rosenthal, and the mysterious organization "DA" that is targeting her. DA is made up of armed "security guards (anti-skills)" and is repelled by Touma. Furthermore, the magician girl Estelle says that "DA" is trying to use "Uchidome" and the other "sisters" for some plan. From here on, the commotion develops again.
What exactly are "Tsutsubo" and "Demons"?
From here on, we will introduce "Tsutsubo" and "Demons".
What is "Toaru"?
It is a necromancy controlled by the magician girl "Ester Rosenthal", and is one of the "Numbers evil spirits". Ester was close to Hishigata Hirumi as her only friend, but one day Hirumi died in an accident. At that time, Ester used necromancy to revive Hirumi. As a result, Estelle possessed Hirumi with the soul of "Toaru", but Hirumi's body became a different entity from the Hirumi that only housed "Toaru".
Estelle regrets
At this point, Estelle realizes her mistake and regrets it. Having lost her friend in such a tragic way, Estelle tells Hishigata that she can no longer help him.
She then tries to retrieve the necromancy, but Hishigata Mikihiko, Hirumi's brother, refuses to retrieve it, saying that "scientifically speaking, there is no doubt that it is Hirumi."
This was the trigger that caused Estelle and Hishigata to go their separate ways. Incidentally, Toaru continues to accompany Hishigata even after Estelle is captured, and does not follow the orders of Estelle, who is supposed to be her master. According to Estelle, this is because "the activation was incomplete."
Toaru, who acted as a Hirumi...
After Estelle was captured, Toaru acted as a Hirumi without saying a word. In addition, he supported Hishigata in his knowledge of necromancy, and also advised him on how to "treat the corpse" necessary to complete the "Coffin". At first glance, it seemed that Hishigata and Hirumai were aiming to "become an absolute power user", but when Hishigata was fatally wounded during the fight between Accelerator and Hishigata, the consciousness of "Tsutsubo" was awakened as there was no longer any need to play the role of Hirumai.
I ordered it to stop functioning, but...
Tsutsubo had received a proposal from a being who called himself a "demon" to cooperate in completing the "Perfect Golem". And by Estelle's command,
he acted to achieve the wishes of the Rosenthal family. That's why he played the role of Hirumai to cooperate with Hishigata. He also congratulated Estelle, the current head of the family, that her wish would come true, but Estelle thought that "people's death should not be toyed with" and ordered "Tsutsubo" to stop functioning.
Isaac Rosenthal
However, Golem ignored his master's orders and revealed his true nature. It was Isaac Rosenthal, the fourth head of the Rosenthal family.
Taotie, Hunton, Qiong, and Golem were originally created by the fifth head, Nathan Rosenthal, who transferred Isaac's soul into Golem. In other words, the "demon" who proposed to Golem was Isaac, and it was his own will to use Academy City and the theory of the diamond to complete the "perfect golem".
What happened to Golem as a result?
Ignoring Estelle's will, she tried to evolve into an absolute ability user, and soon after the soul installation was complete, she changed her appearance. Eventually, she became a gigantic, ugly monster that filled the high school grounds. She then swallowed the surrounding building materials and consumed the surviving members of the DA, perfecting her body and evolving. However, at that moment, she was possessed by their residual thoughts and tried to bring true justice to Academy City. However, at this point, Estelle, Kato, and No. 10046, who were carried by Accelerator, appeared and stabbed her with the "Shundi Sword." At this point, she realized her failure.
What are the Numbers' evil spirits?
They are pseudo-souls created by Nathan, the fifth head of the Rosenthal family, and consist of four bodies: "Tuo-Tuo," "Taotie," "Hun-Ton," and "Kyou-Ki." They are much more powerful than previous pseudo-souls, and by attaching themselves to a corpse, they exert powers greater than those of humans. By the way, in order to forcibly remove a pseudo-soul from a corpse, you must use a spiritual outfit called the "Shundi Sword."
Summary about "Toaru" and "Devil"!
The above is an introduction to "Toaru" and "Devil", which are important keywords that appear in "A Certain Scientific Accelerator". As for the "Toaru" that was inside Hirumi's body, we learned that there are some very complicated circumstances involved. The anime will start in the summer of 2019, so it will be even more impressive when you see it in anime form. From now on, we should be able to hear more news such as cast information and setting images. I can't wait for the summer broadcast to start!
