What? You mean single-handedly plunging Academy City into it's greatest crisis wasn't enough ?

Well, yeah, there's that

But I want to see her kick some ass in a good fight. Her battle with Touma was cut short, and we didn't get to see much of her (hopefully awesome) arsenal, I felt.

I just hope she turns out to be a good villain, and not a throw-away plot device.

[TheInfinityZERO]

The suspense is killing me. I can't believe Touma and Accelerator have not met again since their fight. I wanna see what expression Accelerator has on his face when he finds out the one helping him is the same guy who knocked him off at the strongest esper.
w00t!

[eiyuu99]

Let me guess, "Angry" or a variation of such.

not much different from the usual Accelerator, huh?

[eiyuu99]

Unless someone wants to do a parody... like the "Accelerator vs Kihara" pic Wilfriback posted.

For some reason I feel she will not turn out that way... so far I feel she evil to the bone.

Spoiler for Vento of the Front:

Congrats cause she's going to be what you have just called a good villian

well, she's not really evil, just very very very very screwed up...

[Candyshark]

Seeing how crazy Accelerator is I really wish there were espers who could put him in the place or at least make him cautious. Don't get me wrong really love action from his side. No preaching, questionable ideals and motivations. Can somebody really stop him with his "I-don't-give-a-flying-about-anything-else-but-my-loli" attitude?

Hopefully things will be resolving around Accelerator in next episodes and Vento menance gains on magnitude so far she looks like an another magic using rascal. Hope it won't become running gag of the show Touma puncing girls.

No

well, he actually does turn into a typical anti-hero, though...

You have to take into account that the Hound Dogs were trying to kill him and kidnap Last Order (and he knew that she probably wouldn't be able to come back if she was plunged into the darkness of Academy City once more). He will show no mercy. It's like Lelouch once said, "Those who shoot must be prepared to get shot."

Accelerator actually was very cautious. He took into account the characteristics of the place and noted that he couldn't use his powers there due to large electromagnetic interference in the building. He saved his battery for the final fight, broke up the formation of the Hound Dogs by using paranoia and hacking into their radio transmissions, and finished them off one by one without using his powers. The main reason he was in the building in the first place was to find a detergent that would shake him off from the scent detectors so that the Hound Dogs couldn't track him as he planned out what to do next.

He doesn't have a "I-don't-give-a-flying-about-anything-else-but-my-loli" attitude. It's not like he suddenly blew up the building without regard for anyone else or anything. The anime didn't show it, but he finished off the troop that was after Index and the traitor Hound Dog as well. However, Last Order is in danger now and it is his first priority to keep her safe.

@I_am_Kami
This seasons seems very girls heavy in this regard. But thanks for pointing out.

@yukirosuzuka
I ment being cautious of other espers. Since he didn't really fight anyone of his caliber. Misaka's power just pales in comparision to his. But thanks to your explanation i may not see him as bloodthirsty as before.

Yeah, that deserves some emphasis, during the experiments he played the "hunting game" with the clones, run away or I'll kill you will trashing them verbally and/or phisically. This time with HD he went directly to kill them and not lose time playing like an idiot wasting his limited time to use his power..

[Chaos2Frozen]

You might say that having a limitation actually made Accelerator a more dangerous person.

Seriously. Handicapped Accelerator + shotgun > pre-brain damage Accelerator.

[eiyuu99]

Although a limitation makes him much weaker, it doesn't mean most of his opponents (eg Awaki) get any stronger.

Accelerator is improving on psychological and terrain tactics.
It makes him more dangerous and more difficult to predict when or where he strikes.

That still doesn't mean he's not a bloodthirsty bastard. Only that he didn't have time to dick around.

He could

1) killed last order.

2) keep his power

3) continue to kill people

But he didn't, so I think he is more than just a "bloodthirsty bastard". I think the persons that he kills now are real "bloodthirsty bastards" themselves, what's wrong in killing them?
