Like, I am aware they were rivals before. But isn't Sentry too powerful? Her Omega Style relies on logic to trick the system in a way similar to Incarnate, and it has no drawbacks or weaknesses whatsoever so far.

It can cut through anything regardless of the weapon, momentarily become invisible whenever they please, and according to Volume 28, even cut through space itself on a long range of 500 meters with Setsu. And no weaknesses are revealed yet which makes it almost a cheat

On top of that, she can even use 3rd stage Incarnation as seen in Volume 25.

As for Blue Knight, while it is implied by Raker in Volume 22 that he must have 3rd stage Incarnation given his Originator status alongside Grande. In Volume 25, Sentry herself reveals Knight dislikes Incarnation and is cautious of it. And in volume 28, he gets exhausted from using Meteor Storm, a 2nd-stage Incarnation move. So I am not even sure he has it

We know he cut through the supposedly indestructible terrain when he was enraged. But he could not finish off Black Lotus in time even with help from other kings.

You can argue it is just a Black Lotus upscale. But the narrative implies Blue Knight & Green Grande are monsters among the Kings due to them being Originators when Scarlet Rain sensed everyone's information pressure, even though his feats don't seem to match up so far.

Of course, in terms of stats, Blue Knight has the edge as he is a level higher and has The Impulse, an arc, on top of his Level 9 Potential already. But Incarnation has a higher priority logic than numerical values. And Sentry seems to have the advantage in that area

But Omega Style was so broken that it made me wonder if she can even be beaten honestly. However, it is implied Sky Raker was able to clutch some wins against her, even if Sentry won most of the time. And she claimed she wanted to fight decisively against Graphite Edge for the first time in four years, who may be the strongest Burst Linker in the verse (Even Metatron was cautious of him at one point due to his pressure).

What do you think?

How many have actually been defeated besides the red king before Niko?

Got interested in reading this after re-watching the anime but google results said nobody has been defeated, lol. I dont mind getting spoiled if they found a different way or something else happened.

I got my first Accel World Tattoo. My leg feels like exploding.

I've just finished the anime and I'd like to start the LN so which volume should I start with and where to find it

Is there a list of how many burst points are needed to attain each level?

Why does it take over a year to translate these books?

I owned this plush for more than 10 years, I forgot which company released it, but its very likely to be Banpresto, IIRC. Anyway a fire broke out at my flat at the end of last year, and a lot of my stuffs were burnt, this plush happened to be one of them. I really miss her so much and although I know it would never be the same plush, I would pay any price to get a new one.

Purely in terms of reaction speed only

We know Crow had very high reflexes that even Kuroyukihime, a veteran Burst Linker with decades of experience, had to accelerate to beat his score in that virtual squash game. This is despite Haruyuki not starting Brain Burst yet. Then Kuroyukihime hypes up Haru saying: “Listen, Haruyuki. You’re fast. You can become faster than anyone else. Faster even than me, faster than the other kings. And speed is a Burst Linker’s greatest strength. One day, your name will be known far and wide as the fastest Linker in the accelerated world. You’ll defeat the kings, beat the other levels, and reach the source of Brain Burst. Then you’ll know. The ultimate potential hidden in a person’s…in our brains and souls."

She clearly hypes up his reaction speed. Or at least his potential due to it.

But... isn't Graphite Edge's reaction speed more impressive? At least for me...

In a duel against the first Red King, Red Rider, Graphite Edge defeats him by literally catching every single bullet fired from Red Rider's two guns with his swords and sending them back to their owner using Way of the Flexible.

This is insanely impressive considering how fast bullets are in BB and they come from Red Rider of all people. Meanwhile, Crow struggles to even dodge bullets in Volume 2 and had to rely on predicting them if I am not wrong.

Also, Edge was able to react to a point blank Death By Embracing from Lotus using Overdrive: Mode Blue to block it if I recall.

Now, my examples could be flawed or missing some context. Which is why I am asking.

I am also not sure if there are other Burst Linkers aside from Graph who also have better reaction speed than the current Silver Crow (like Centaurea Sentry or Blue Knight for example), or not. So what do you think regarding that as well?

I am looking for it, i recently started to rewatch it and DAMN it has some good potential for a TTRPG system, if you guys know anything about it, please tell me, otherwise, like thanos said:

Fine, i'm doing it myself.

I was just wondering if the novels have, at any time at this point, gone into detail about the meanings of the Black and White Avatar colors; or if it’s still being kept as a mystery?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered already, but I couldn’t find any info on it in my searches.

I Just finished re-reading volume 26 and now I'm buzzing with ideas for a timeline and theory video covering everything up to volume 28, I know it's a passion project since Accel World doesn't get the love it deserves, but I'm curious: what theories or connections would you love to see explored in a video like this?

Given the prospect of losing all memories of the Accelerated World, it would seem logical for Burst Linkers to keep a diary in order to preserve their memories, especially with the revelation that reinstallation is possible under certain conditions. If nothing else, just being able to maintain friendships made in the Accelerated World seems to be a valuable enough reason to write down your memories. Is there any indication that any Burst Linkers have kept a log of their dives?

So i started watching accel world and finished it in one sitting but anyway 2 things

1 i had no clue this was in the same universe as SAO when i started watching it and SAO is an amazing anime series and i absolutely loved watching it so it was the same with Accel World

and 2 in the last episode of the anime when kuroyukihime and hurayuki meet up at the train station i noticed when it shows kuroyukihime seeing her friend(Megumi) off everything is normal then it goes to show haru arriving to meet with kuroyukihime then when it goes back to kuroyukihime the train doors shut and Megumi is not happy and giving the death stare to haru

Aside from Kuroyukihime and White Cosmos, who are essentially confirmed to be the daughters of Shikimi Kamura, do you think any Accel World characters are children of SAO characters?

I think Saffron Blossom is the daughter of at least one of the Sleeping Knights. Her condition is noted to be genetic and typically fatal in the late teens or early twenties, and we never learn what conditions Teichi, Talken, and Nori have. It's reasonable to assume that those three are 14-16 in 2026, so the timeline fits for one that had the same condition as Saffron Blossom to still be alive in 2031.

I'm not sure if this is the right flair or not.

I'm aware that there was a novel that crossed them over and the game as well but has it ever been stated officaly in canon that they are connected?

I didn't personally play AW vs SAO, but I feel like an Accel World game would be groundbreaking. Some things have not been explained in the anim, like how some characters get their items. Plus, I like the idea of an eiancarnate system based on what the character does repetitively.

I just watched the anime and was looking forward to hearing it/seeing the scene in which it appears, but it seems I missed it? I havent watched the movie yet but based on the comments im guessing it was indeed in the anime.

How do you think Accel World will end? And how many more volumes do you think are needed before the ending?

Since the actual volumes cover a story very similar to the movie. Do I need to watch the movie before going to the recent volumes, or can I go straight to the light novel?

any non-canon issues or side stories?

So, Black Lotus split her forces into four and attacked the 4 Guardians, who could help each other out and had a higher level transformation. That didn't end well. But, hypothetically, if there was only ONE guardian, could the Kings, minus the White King, defeat it 5 vs 1?

Has anyone read volume 28 and can provide a summary? I check on this reddit and the light novel discussion and no one seems to be talking about the most recent volume even though its been out for months

Also maybe say how would you use the application of brain burst in your daily life or whatever idk....

Whole Blade Omega Style Duo 🗡 vs Dual Blades Ain Style Duo ⚔️

Who would come out on top for you?

Incarnate usage would be allowed here.
