The Light Novel series Accel World received a somewhat troubled anime adaptation. While some hate it, others love it and think it’s much better than Sword Art Online. The big problem is that after the 2012 anime adaptation we never had any information about a new season. And due to its low success, it’s hard to find information about the Novel on the Internet. In today’s article, we will try to explain some things that happen in the novel and share some spoilers for those who don’t mind that.
The anime adapted only about 4 novels, while we currently have more than 20 volumes. This means that a lot has happened that piques our curiosity. I think it’s impossible to summarize the 20 volumes in one article, so I will only mention a few important curiosities and the direction the story takes to satisfy your curiosity.
I will try to summarize in a simple way without giving too many spoilers, just so you know the direction the story has taken. Any mistakes or suggestions, I appreciate the comments.

Summary of the Arc – Chrome Disaster
One of the first arcs that happen after the Anime is that of the cursed armor that remained inside the Silver Crown.
In volume 5, Lime Bell tries to recover Sky Raker’s legs, but without success since her legs were cut off by Black Lotus using the incarnate system. In this novel, there is a major race called the Sky Race. During the race, the cursed armor takes the consciousness of Silver Crow, but Lime Bell uses her ability to turn back time to temporarily restore Haru’s consciousness.
In volume 6, Haru goes to the second meeting of the 6 kings of pure colors. He was given 7 days to get rid of the Chrome Disaster (cursed armor) or there will be a big reward on his head. Haru asks for help from Shinomiya Utai (a former member of Nega Nebulous) to remove the Chrome Disaster parasite. In this volume, the KIT ISS (Incarnate System Study Kit) was also introduced, which allows the user to use the incarnate system easily; however, the KIT stimulates the user’s negative emotions, making them more violent.
In volume 7, Silver Crow learned the complete history of the armor through a sequence of dreams while remaining inside the Imperial Palace in the Unlimited Field. Taku ends up getting infected with the KIT ISS. In volumes 8 and 9, many things happen until finally, Haru manages to seal the cursed armor, which now becomes the armor “Destiny”.
In volume 10 Aqua Current and Kuroyukihime go to Okinawa.
Summary of the ISS Kit and Oscillatory Universe arc
From volumes 11 to 16, the arc of the ISS Kit that we already mentioned takes place. This kit was created by the Acceleration Research Society a dark and mysterious organization that uses the illegal implanted chip that Noumi used.
In these volumes, we discover that Kuroyukihime’s sister is the white queen known as Transient Eternity or White Cosmos. She is one of the main antagonists of the series and president of the Acceleration Research Society.
In the past, Kuroyukihime’s sister tricked her into killing the red king. Her goal was to take the weapon Seven Roses. Kuroyukihime became angry, tried to kill her sister in real life, thus she ended up being expelled from home and began to be treated as someone with mental illnesses. That’s why no one visited her in the hospital after the accident.
In volume 15, we meet Metatron, an artificial intelligence that helps Haru. In the following volumes, Nega Nebulous and other kings join forces to battle against the Oscillatory Universe, the white queen’s legion, and the ARS.
Origin of Kuroyukihime
Kuroyukihime was born from an artificial womb and is considered a Machine Child, explaining the barcode on her neck. The code reads 20320930, which is literally Kuroyukihime’s date of birth 30/09/2032; records indicate that she had a gestation of 13 months.
She was born with STL technology, which was acquired by RECT from Yuuki Shouzou, who created Alfheim Online, and also from the Kamura company where her father works. It’s interesting the connection that the name Kamakura has with kuroyukihime, both are written with the same ideograms [黒雪姫].
Interesting facts are that Kuroyukihime shares her birthday with Asuna, and since Kuroyukihime’s parents controlled her artificial gestation that lasted 13 months, they probably waited for that specific day, which must have some significance and connection.
Curiosities and spoilers of Accel World
Do you remember Ash Roller? That skull on the motorcycle? That is a woman named Kusakabe Rin. Her character is a man because the avatar belongs to her brother who is in a coma. She confesses her love to Haru.
The romance between Haru and Kuroyukihime doesn’t progress much, Fuuko and Niko continue to tease Haru, and in novel 16 he seems to like Metatron, but she appears to be an Artificial Intelligence.
The Imperial Palace appears quite a bit in the future volumes of the novel. The Chiyoda palace located in the heart of Tokyo appears as a backdrop in most of the game’s scenarios. The big problem is that the palace is a game arena, but there are no cameras in the location, making it a place full of mysteries. It is considered by all players as “impenetrable” because it is protected by the Four Gods. Kuroyukihime believes that the end of the game is found there.
Seven Arcs “The Seven Stars of the Accelerated World”. These are the strongest weapons in the game, and it is believed that 3 are located within the Imperial Palace.
- The Impulse, from Blue Knight;
- The Tempest, from Purple Thorn;
- The Strife, from Green Grandee;
- The Illuminary, from White Cosmos;
- The Infinity, from Azure Heir;
- The Destiny, from Chrome Falcon/ Saffron Blossom;
- The Fluctuating Light;
The first 100 children to win the Buster Linker are called originators. The green king and the white queen are originators.
There are 2 other games similar to Brain Buster called Cosmos Corrupt 2040 and Accel Assault 2038.
These are some curiosities and spoilers about Accel World, I hope you enjoyed it.
