The hugely popular anime "A Certain Magical Index" is a science fiction anime set in Academy City, where magic and science intersect. While all the series have been extremely 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 introduce one of the characters, Hishigata Mitsuhiko. We will go into detail about his personality and actions in the story, so be sure to do your homework before watching the anime!
What kind of character is Hishigata Mitsuhiko?
A researcher at Seine High School who cooperates with DA. He once participated in "Produce". By the way, "Produce" here refers to research on the dark side of Academy City using "abandonment", just like the "Induced Explosion Experiment for Analyzing the Laws of Runaway Ability" and the "May of Darkness Project". There are many details that are unknown, but it is an organization that investigates where "one's own reality" resides, and they took the cruel method of cutting the brains of subjects and investigating them.
He cooperates with DA, but...
He cooperates with DA, an organization within the "security guards," and is in charge of providing the weapon "coffin" and purging the inside. He follows the instructions of DA along with his sister Hirumi, but his real goal is to achieve a "perfect body and perfect brain," and he is just using them.
What is Hishigata Mitsuhiko like in the story?
By the way, what is Hishigata Mitsuhiko like in the main story? Before the start of the main story, while working as a researcher for "Produce", he met Estelle Rosenthal, who came to Academy City as a supervisor. He became friends with Estelle along with her younger sister Hirumi, but one day in an accident, her younger sister Hirumi was seriously injured and died. At this time, Estelle tried to revive her using necromancy techniques. However, as a result, she became a different being from Hirumi, who only possessed the "Tsutsubo".
What is "Tsutsubo"?
It is a necromancy controlled by the magician Estelle Rosenthal, and is one of the "Numbers evil spirits". When Estelle realized her mistake, she stopped cooperating with Hishigata and tried to retrieve the "Tsutsubo", but Hishigata Mikihiko refused to retrieve it, saying that "scientifically speaking, there is no doubt that it is Hirumi", and this caused Estelle and Hishigata to go their separate ways.
Hisagata tries to capture Uihare
Afterwards, Hisagata tries to capture Uihare (Last Order) for his own purposes, but Estelle, who knows the plan, escapes to protect her. Hisagata then orders Nishio to capture Estelle, but Estelle escapes to the hospital where Accelerator is hospitalized, and is stopped there. After that, he sends out the Kyuki at the request of DA to dispose of Nishio for various reasons.
Hisagata afterwards
After DA was abandoned by Urizora Nomoto, Hisagata has given up on them and calls them "justice fools." He plans to obtain the sisters (Misaka 10046) that DA captured, achieve his true purpose, and then leave with Hirumai. However, DA, which was transporting them, is annihilated by the Corpse Eaters, who were deployed by order of Nomoto. Finally unable to bear it any longer, Hishigata decides to remotely control the "coffin" to secure Misaka 10046, and confronts Accelerator again.
The Battle Between Accelerator and Hishigata
Hinagata, who tried to hold Accelerator back, deployed all three of his bodies, "Kyouki", "Konton", and "Taotie". However, it was still difficult to defeat Accelerator, who is the strongest of the powers, and "Kyouki" and "Taotie" were defeated. Furthermore, they invaded their base, Seion High School. However, this was only a plan for Hinagata. "Chaos" was just a way to buy time to extract the "Memory of Death" that the Sisters possess. After obtaining the necessary data, Hishigata inputs it into Hirumai and tries to make it perfect, but when he shields Hirumai from Estelle, who was hiding to stop "Tsutsu", he is stabbed in the abdomen.
What did Toubo do?
Then Toubo noticed that Hinagata had been fatally wounded. He was reactivated by the will of the fourth head of the Rosenthal family, Isaac Rosenthal, who was residing within him. At this time, he seemed to be swallowed by the giant Toubo using Hirumi's body and Hishigata's theory, but in fact he escaped through the equipment delivery route and offered to help Accelerator and the others as a guide to retrieve Hirumi.
Death of Hinagata
When Hishigata offered to be a guide, he knew he couldn't be saved. Soon after seeing Ester defeat Toubo, Hishigata said goodbye to Hirumi and Ester and died of blood loss shortly after. If "Tsutsubo" was defeated, his giant body would collapse, so it seemed that he had predicted that there would be great damage, but Accelerator was able to keep Sakano's plan to a minimum.
Hisigata Mitsuhiko Summary!
That was the introduction to Hisigata Mitsuhiko, who appears in "A Certain Scientific Accelerator"! As a key figure in the story, he will likely be heavily involved in the new anime series starting this summer. With the anime broadcast just around the corner, fans' expectations are rising. It might be fun to find your favorite character before the anime broadcast. I'm looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds from now on!
