The hugely popular anime "A Certain Magical Index." It is a science fiction anime set in Academy City, where magic and science intersect. While all the series have been very popular, a new series, "A Certain Scientific Accelerator," is scheduled to begin airing in the summer of 2019. The story of this series revolves around Accelerator, a particularly popular character from the "A Certain" series. In this article, we will take a closer look at Accelerator. We will explain not only his abilities but also his personality and appearance, so be sure to 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.
Meeting 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 was repelled by Accelerator. Furthermore, the magician girl Estelle says that "DA" is trying to use "Uihime" and the other "sisters" for some plan. From here, the commotion develops again.
Popular character! Who is Accelerator?
Accelerator is a character who appears in the light novel "A Certain Magical Index". He is one of the main characters in this work, which features a variety of characters, and also appears in the spin-off "A Certain Scientific Railgun". He also plays the main character in the spin-off "A Certain Scientific Accelerator" which will air this summer 2019. He is the number one level 5 esper in Academy City. His real name is unknown, but he is commonly referred to by the name of his ability, "Accelerator." According to him, his real surname is two characters and his given name is three characters, which is not unusual for a Japanese person.
Cool? Hot-blooded? What kind of personality does Accelerator have?
He was originally a normal boy, but when he was 10 years old, his ability caused harm to those around him, and he stopped showing emotion to others. He was also adversely affected by the experiment, and began to reject those around him. He also believes that if he becomes a "Level 6" esper, the absolute strongest, he will no longer hurt those around him.
The encounter with "Uisaki" that changed Accelerator
After being defeated by Kamijo, the protagonist of the first work, "A Certain Magical Index," he meets a girl named "Uisaki (Last Order)." Uisaki refers to the last of the mass-produced clones of Misaka Mikoto, the "sisters," and is sometimes called the "final signal." She was created to prevent the "sisters," clones of Mikoto, from "rebelling." By the way, the reason she looks young, about 10 years old, is because she left the incubation machine during production. Since meeting Uiharu, Accelerator has gradually learned to be considerate towards others while acting to protect her and his "sisters".
What is his relationship with Uiharu?
Now Accelerator wants to apologize to his sisters. He seems to care a lot about Uiharu in particular, and although he desperately searches for her when she gets lost and seems to be dragging her around reluctantly at first glance, you can see that they are good friends. Gradually, his personality is also changing, and although he still has the same rough and out-of-control personality, he is gradually becoming a hot-blooded character who is more likely to show his emotions.
What is Accelerator's personality?
He is usually calm, indifferent, and indifferent to everything. However, when it comes to fighting, his personality changes completely. When he gets emotional, he becomes violent and fights cruelly. Another characteristic of his is that he has a dangerous side to him, as he feels pleasure when he hurts his enemies. He also always has a sullen expression, often with a frown or a cruel smile.
Cool and popular! What does Accelerator look like?
Kihara Kazuta says, "White hair, red eyes, well-formed features, firm skin, thin lines, a choker around the neck, grey-based clothing, and less muscular limbs." Her white hair is distinctive, but she speculates that it's because her ability reflects ultraviolet light and she has lost all pigment. Her androgynous physique is also distinctive, but this is also related to her ability. According to her interpretation, her hormone balance is disrupted due to lack of external stimuli, which is why she has an androgynous appearance. Indeed, she does look delicate. Because of this, there was a scene where Uiyomi asked her if she was a boy or a girl. The author also gave her the nickname Suzushina Yuriko.
What does she look like?
Toaru's clothes are generally simple, but there are some unique designs incorporated here and there. Her summer uniform is a short-sleeved T-shirt with a black background and white lines. Her autumn uniform is a long-sleeved T-shirt with a white and gray vertical striped pattern. Her winter uniform is a white coat. She also wears a black collar-shaped switch and always carries a modern cane.
What is Accelerator's life like?
When he was young, Accelerator had a lot of abilities, so he moved from one research facility to another in the dark side of Academy City. He went to a school that had a special class just for him, and lived in a student dormitory. He lives at home at his own pace, never cooking for himself, and eats frozen foods and restaurants. He also has a habit of buying a lot of his favorite canned coffee, and when he gets tired of it, he looks for a new brand.
What about after he joined the group?
In the past, Accelerator would be attacked by delinquents who wanted the title of strongest, and would use his abilities to drive them away. After joining the "group", Accelerator would move from hideout to hotel, and settle cases when he received orders from the higher-ups. He never seemed to be short of money, since he was paid for research and experiments he participated in in the past. He once got 8 trillion yen in debt due to the Kihara Kazuta incident, but he paid it back by working in Russia. Now that he's freed from the dark side, Accelerator is living with the Yomikawa family, just like Uisaki and the others.
The Strongest in Academy City! What are Accelerator's abilities?
At first, Accelerator's abilities were artificially improved through research experiments. However, since he was born with the strongest abilities in Academy City, he also has a superhuman brain. As a result, he can perform advanced calculations on par with supercomputers and calculate complex molecular movements involving chaos theory on his own. He is also skilled in languages, being able to speak English and Russian.
Brain Attacked
However, Accelerator was directly attacked in the brain. After that, he lost all his abilities, including his calculation function, language ability, and even reflexes. In order to use his abilities, he needed to share the calculation function of the Mikasa Network, and he could only use his abilities for a maximum of 15 minutes. After that, he used the technology of the dark side to extend the use time of his abilities to 30 minutes, but there was a risk that the devices could be hacked by the higher-ups of Academy City, so he took measures by adding a jamming function to his wand. However, he seems to have acquired language skills himself, and can speak foreign languages fluently without using his abilities.
What kind of abilities does he have?
Accelerator's ability is level 5. Specifically, he can change the direction (vector) of any force, such as momentum, heat, light, or electricity, just by touching an energy field. Therefore, he can sense energy that normal humans cannot detect, such as radiation and low-frequency sound. By the way, he is said to be unharmed even if a nuclear weapon is shot into his body, and he is said to be the strongest in Academy City because he can reflect any attack.
He's just too "strong"!
Accelerator's ability is called "Accelerator". His appearance of attacking unilaterally without receiving any attacks from the enemy is truly worthy of being called "Accelerator". As mentioned above, there is a 15-minute limit on using the ability, but of course there was a time when he could use it infinitely. At that time, even when he was asleep, he would reflect attacks from the outside, and he was always in a flawless state.
One of Accelerator's abilities! What exactly are the "Black Wings"?
When Accelerator fought Kihara for the second time, he lost all his computing power, but the ability that blossomed after that is called the "Black Wings". In this state, he can function without computing assistance, and he begins to speak a non-human language mixed with noise, just like Misha and others. There are still many mysteries surrounding him, but it is said to be a powerful ability with overwhelming strength in defense, attack, etc.
Similar to the power of an angel?
According to Index, the power of the Black Wings is similar to that of an angel. Therefore, even saints have difficulty controlling them. According to Kihara, they are "organisms in a different world from this one" and "wield a glimpse of power equal to that of a god", and the Black Wings are classified as belonging to the "Age of Osiris". Therefore, they did not work on Aiwass, who belongs to the "Age of Horus".
What is the change to the White Wings?
Originally, the "white wings" were thought to be an ability that was activated when the person's emotions were heightened or when they had intense murderous intent towards the other person, but it cannot be said that this is always the case, as they have also been activated in calm states. Furthermore, as the person's mental state grows, they change into "white wings" and an angel halo appears on their head, and their appearance also changes. Furthermore, by adding "unknown energy" to the wings, they can instantly rise to an altitude of 3,000 to 5,000 meters. Furthermore, when he charges forward using his power, it is powerful enough to cancel out the enormous "power of angels" that was dropped from the "Star of Bethlehem" and destroy the Eurasian continent. By the way, it is speculated that the nature of this ability is greatly related to the user's psychological state, and that "black wings" appear when cornered, while "white wings" require the will to protect someone.
What are the "mysterious symptoms"?
Since the appearance of "black wings" as one-way's ability, a mysterious symptom has continued. It is a strange thing that makes your fingertips tremble when your body gets close to magic. This is quite similar to the symptoms when Sasha's angel and body were swapped, but the details are still unknown.
Summary about One-way!
That was the introduction of Accelerator (Last Order), the main character of the summer anime "A Certain Scientific Accelerator"! As he is the most powerful ability user, he is one of the most popular characters in the series. At first, he was a ruthless character, but one of the reasons for his popularity is that he becomes gentler after meeting Misaka (Last Order). With the anime starting in the summer, we can expect to see more of Accelerator's exploits. We can't wait to see how things develop from here!
