What happens in Accel World? - Spoilers from the Novel

Otaku

Per Kevin

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 haven't received any information about a new season. And due to the 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.

The anime adapted only about 4 novels, while we currently have over 20 volumes. This means that a lot has happened that piques our curiosity. I think it's impossible to summarize the 20 volumes in an article, so I'll mention just a few important curiosities and the direction the story takes to satisfy your curiosity.

I'll try to summarize it in a simple way without giving too many spoilers, just so you know the direction the story has been taking. Any mistakes or suggestions, I appreciate the comments.

Arc Summary - Chrome Disaster

One of the first arcs that take place after the Anime is that of the cursed armor that was inside the Silver Crown.

In volume 5, Lime Bell tries to recover Sky Raker's legs, but unsuccessfully since her legs were cut off by Black Lotus using the embodied system. In this novel, there is a big race called the Sky Race. During the race, the cursed armor becomes aware of Silver Crow, but Lime Bell uses her time reversal ability 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 huge reward on his head. Haru asks for help from Shinomiya Utai (a former member of the nega nebulous) to remove the Chrome Disaster parasite. This volume also introduces the KIT ISS (Incarnate System Study Kit) which allows for easy use of the incarnate system, but the KIT stimulates the user's negative emotions, making them more violent.

In volume 7, Silver Crow learns the complete history of the armor through a sequence of dreams while staying 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 Haru finally manages to seal the cursed armor, which then becomes the "Destiny" armor.

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 ISS Kit arc takes place, which we have already mentioned. This kit was created by the Acceleration Research Society, a dark and mysterious organization that uses the illegal implant chip that Noumi used.

Accel world

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 deceived her into killing the red king. Her goal was to obtain the weapon Seven Roses. Kuroyukihime got angry, tried to kill her sister in real life, and as a result, she ended up being expelled from home and started 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 legion of the white queen 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 09/30/2032, records indicate that she had a gestation period 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. Interesting the connection that the name Kamakura has kuroyukihime, both are written with the same ideograms [黒雪姫].

Interesting facts is that Kuroyukihime has a birthday on the same day that Asuna was born, and as Kuroyukihime's parents controlled her artificial pregnancy that lasted 13 months, they probably waited for this specific day that must have some meaning and connection.

Accel world trivia and spoilers

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 and says she loves him.

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.

Accel world

The Imperial Palace appears quite a bit in the future volumes of the novel. The Chiyoda Palace, located in the heart of Tokyo, serves 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 on site, making it a place full of mysteries. It is considered by all players to be "impenetrable" as it is protected by the Four Gods. Kuroyukihime believes that the end of the game lies there.

Seven Arcs "The Seven Stars of the Accelerated World." These are the strongest weapons in the game, it is believed that 3 are located inside the Imperial Palace.

  • The Impulse, by Blue Knight;
  • The Tempest, by Purple Thorn;
  • The Strife, by Green Grandee;
  • The Illuminary, by White Cosmos;
  • The Infinity, de Azure Heir;
  • The Destiny, by Chrome Falcon/ Saffron Blossom;
  • A Luz Flutuante;

The first 100 children to win the Buster Linker are called the 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 trivia and spoilers about Accel World, I hope you enjoyed it.
