as for the choker, that would mean that it would become a much bigger device that has a faraday cage at the places that dont recieve signals, but it wont matter for accel because if the reciever is destroyed everything else on the device is too...

If they can make something as fantastical as a little choker that sustains someone who has severe brain damage, even returning some of the most sensitive functions, it would not be too much to ask for to add some anti EMP tech which would not affect its size. Seriously, you are kidding yourself if you think this can't be done in a world which has AC. Some mini EMP protection tech pales in comparison against a mini brain linker.

as you said, amata was accels maker, so he should also know that accel is very capable of one-shotting him with a thrown stone at mach-speed,
the EMP would be the safest, fastest and basically the only option that a person with atleast average intellect would use as Plan A

A person with average intellect and knows Accel's moves will know that at that point he was either going to stand there and tank the attack like an idiot or just charge in like an idiot, basically asking for a free attack, Amata knows this, if he pulls a knife instead of a punch, well that's game over. Throwing rocks or whatever would mean nothing as Amata can always pull out more tech to shut him down, that was the principle of his character, to shut him down. There's no way he would be scared by whatever Accel throws at him, just that for the sake of story he only demonstrated the punches and the wind whistle. I don't think pulling an EMP demonstrates how well he understands Accel's powers at all and is just a cheap way out.

to ensure a successful mission she was send to kill LO, obviously accelerator would stop her,
it is true that her face was a possible option, but what if, if accel simply took LO and flew away? how should he stop him than? or what if, if he deflects all attacks and lets all physical punches slip to the side without allowing her to get injured? or what if, if he makes himself and LO invisible and walks away?

Doesn't matter, the damage was done, all the while he would be losing battery trying to evade. Unless he actively retaliates, Worse can and will hunt him down. It's not like Worse is the one on a time limit. Making Accel powerless will not prove Worst's point. She wants to break him by forcing him to choose between attacking her to protect LO or not hurting another Sister. How is he going to do the former if he doesn't have his powers? It's the choice that makes it cruel. The villains have specific agendas more than just I want him dead right now.

only komaba targetted the choker, and shiage tried it but failed,

And Saraku, and Shiokishi's men, not the Kihara counter guy, but the ones that incapacitated Accel and almost blew him up if not for the guy he helped with his pregnant girlfriend early on.

any other time people ignored that glaring weakness and no, the other methods dont work as good as the EMP, because they give accel time to run away or create a countermeasure, a EMP would make him powerless immediately...

Your faith in EMP is absurd at this point. You may as well tell me an EMP can wreck the Calculate Fortress armor because it has electronics in it.

i wont argue against that, i never talked about the impact of a scene, only that enemys look stupid for not using obviously better methods that could even result in a easier victory + no effects on their actual plan...

Taking a scene out of context of the story and calling it stupid is unworthy of discussion. It's like going back to the old 'why don't they shoot Touma with a gun' argument. Because by that point everything looks stupid anyway.

@Natsurin

Well at this point I'm willing to drop this discussion altogether because I've said all I want and move back to the LN thread, at least I threw up the spoiler tags and there wasn't too much LN focused material.
