Unless you are hinting at something spoilerific.

It was stated early on that if you lose Brain Burst you lose all memories of it (and I think that means that your personality can change too, revert to your pre-brain-burst self).

I don't recall this ever being mentioned in the anime, can someone point out where this is stated?

Black Lotus talks about it in episode 3 and makes it sound like people can remember just fine if they lose Brain Burst, its just that no one would believe them since the traces of the program are removed from their linker.

Haku need to lose so this can switch over to Yuniko then it would be much better

You mean Haru or Taku? Cause you seem to inadvertently fuse both names, it sounds like a fan pairing (a yaoi one at that) xD

This episode had me thinking to myself... What a lack of cooperation and planning. This armor that threatens all burst linkers, has in the past been delt with by a multitude of high level linkers who decided it best to team up and take care of the issue.

Yet here we have just 2 low levels and 2 high levels trying to take care of the issue alone. Its not correct IMO. Its an issue that affects all burst linkers yet our main characters dont appeal to the other burst linkers to agree to fight together against it?

Its like they wanted to be taken advantage of. Other burst linkers have ideas on becoming level 10 as mentioned in this episode, how can they so carelessly try to take on this whole accel world issue alone and think nothing of the other linkers and their ideas/plans on it?

To confirm what Fenrir_valindri said above, in episode 3 (around 5 minutes in), Kuroyukihime says that the program doesn't leave a trace when it's uninstalled, so without evidence no one would believe the program exists. So they never said that you lose your memories, but you certainly lose access to the program forever, and for people who've spent countless time in the game, I suppose they might wish they did.

Previously it was done together, they assumed it was in everyone's interests.

That's my guess.

Just re-watched episode 3, does indeed sound like they don't lose memories. Edited my post, but it is difficult sorting out past information from three sources (LN, manga, anime) when each has subtle differences.

Since Chrome Disaster is technically still a member of Niko's legion, she has the ability to one-hit him, but due to CD long jumps she couldn't hit him in close combat. My guess is that having aerial mobility is vital, as a weakened CD could still easily escape(by leaping). Another possible reason is that calling all 6 kings and devising a plan to kill CD (and CD doesn't disconnect) may take time and since CD is still in his legion, it can be called the 'plot of the red legion to weaken other legions'. Niko may not be allowed to participate in the hunt due to mistrust, which conflicts with her desire to personally end CD/Cherry Rook.

Contacting Silver Crow, who has a decent chance of hitting/getting close to CD due to aerial superiority, is a fair gamble.

I personally think that the point brought up in episode 10 is very valid. I think that in the future, there will be some virtual simulation which makes years in a virtual world equate to only a day in the real world.

This would of course lead to people forsaking their real lives and escaping reality for years at a time. It is kind of like dreams (and the movie Inception) where you go to sleep and dream a long dream and wake up and only a few minutes have passed.

Wondering if technology will ever use this aspect of the human mind does fascinate me.

Btw is Niko some princess or something. We've seen a maid using a bike to trace the kid. That maid sure as hell is to old for BB. Yet she had red legion colors @_@.

[smurfinaus]

Like this series a lot. Any idea whether its a 13 or 26 episode for this season?

We can pretty much assume that Niko is rich, to say the least. She goes to a boarding school, and her parents are never around. Add the maid to it, and it's not too surprising.

Here is the latest from a few posts back:

That had me thinking. Could it be possible that Yellow Radio be the true instigator of the current Chrome Disaster? He could have hacked the system somehow and either stored the armor or resurrect it.

[Anh_Minh]

I think that's what Niko was hinting at.

That's what I'm guessing since Niko asked if he's the one behind this.

But that's really a stupid move......Since Chrome could just kick everyone *ss, even yellow radio...unless he know a way to control it that we don't know about..

I mean let the Yuniko take the main character with Kuroyukihime in a sister fighting team maybe that will make this less boring

I actually find the current set-up quite entertaining. I love KYH but also Haru and their interactions, especially with Niko in the middle.

But eh...opinions...

They were all to focused on Niko trying to pull something and wound-up ignoring a ambush from elsewhere.

When you declared war on the entire world, how do you not expect to be targeted by unexpected enemies?

because of the treaty and the place where yellow legion originally is. Yellow king just cross borders on his territory onto other territory. Though when you enter unlimited burst. You should expect battles between each other but thanks to the treaty between kings. The only way to earn points when your a middle and high level is to go attack other BB players in other region. But if you go to other region. It means only your going against its king and it means war against them. And such when they enter Ikebukoro. They didn't expect Yellow king at all.
