Accel World - Light Novel Discussion

[Optimura]

Metatron discloses the reason behind the making of Brain Burst and the meaning behind the existence of Burst Linkers.

Hype. We could even make bets.

[tuckersister]

I think Haruyuki learn that secret, but will not tell anyone about it.

Also, SC promised Metatron to be her servant, so we see Metatron more after this arc ends. Be interesting to see what she will have him do.

True.

It is more likely she will be in his NL acting like its support AI. Essentially, she will be bossing him around both in RL and in AW.

[Relunx]

Hi. I would like to share my thoughts about AW. I read the novel up to 6 and the 8th, and the other vol's summaries so I kinda know what's happening here.

So basically right now the final boss is White Cosmos, Shirayukihime aka KYH's sister (who is more beautiful than her and more skillful in therms of hacking, and I assume she is her twin sister)
As far as story goes Haru and his friends did nothing but fight against ARS and so far they didn't killed any of them excpet Noumi who is returned by White Cosmos resurrection zombification ability that messes with the Main Server by hacking individual BL-er's fluctlight to get their memories back by making a copy and on top of that they made Disaster Armor MKII.

So I'd like to get some of you guys insight about some things:

1. White Cosmos and her plan

Spoiler:

- she was the resposible for making KYH beheading Red Rider
- disturbing/destroying Hermes Cord Race
- ISS Kit
- messing with Burst Linker's fluctlight
- creating Disaster Armor MKII (unforssen)
So basically she messing up with everyone and everything (fitting for a true Final Boss character), but for what? I can't see her "grandiose" plan. Any thoughts on this?

2. Kuroyukihime's ultimate goal, reaching lvl10

Spoiler:

- so far nothing, she still need to kill 4 lvl9 burst linkers to achive that
as for possible targets, Yellow, Purple and White are definitely on the list, but who will be the last 5th? Niko is out of question, Blue and Green seems too strong (originators). Maybe a yet not known lvl9 future player?
But I think this task will NOT this easy. Let's say in the end of 16-17-18 vol Hime can finally able to kill his sister White Cosmos, making her lvl10 count to 2. After that maybe she able to kill another one or 2 reaching 4 count. I think if she become 1 kill to reach lvl10, the other remaining Kings and their subordiantes are going to declare an all out war on Hime, bcoz they belive if someone reaches lvl10, it will end Accel World.
So the Accel World became Nega Nebulas VS rest of Accel World...
Side Note:
IIRC Hime also wants Haru to reach lvl10 as she stated in the anime while talking to Haru in the cafe "she wants to bow to the new king" meaning she wants Haru to reach lvl10 too, but if this is true, the number if lvl9 players are too few.
And upon reaching lvl10, we all got the answers: Who is BB's creator? What's the purpose/meaing of the Accel World etc.

Please place spoiler tags on your post.

I'll place my 2 cents on WC.

Spoiler for Thoughts:

The creation of Chrome Disaster is actually planned however it appeared too early for them to control. They may have a method to control it but its sudden appearance threw them off.

Considering they have been experimenting for such a long time, I am guessing they trying make the maximum use of the technology that AW provided especially the FL's. That alone can turn society on its head. However, exact reasons are still unknown unless this is related to the author's past work...

Vol 16 cover appeared:

I have to say, this could still be just another cover of Metatron.

She's been so important in the last arc, I can't help but think that she's more closely connected to White Cosmos than previously thought.

Edit: It is Metatron. There's the halo above her head and all.

Simple. Haru needs to achieve lv 9, kill everyone AND KYH, then hit Lv 10 and complete KYH's final wish. She wishes to bow before the new king, metaphorically her position after having been beheaded by the new king after all.

Que dorama.

[Tusjecht]

I've been...busy. Busy reading my Chinese V9, as well as some speculation...(which is going in this other thread)

Spoiler for V9.9 Ending snippet:

--The last partner that fought along side with me...enough.

--You're...strong. Stronger than me, stronger than those I've vanquished, stronger than those who defeated me.

--If only, your radiance can cut off the last root of trouble in this world...


As the voice vanished, Haruyuki returned to the Accelerated World again-- to the clear skies of the Twilight Stage.

His right hand hugged the tired, battered body of Black Lotus, but his left hand now held absolutely nothing.

And the metallic armour of his entire body now shined brightly with the pure silvery colour of a mirror underneath the sunset.

Spoiler for V9.11 Ending snippet:

"...farewell."

Taking a step back, Haruyuki turned around to face his companions, waiting patiently for him.

Just as he was about to step out of the house onto its landing, he suddenly felt las though someone was calling to him.

Turning his head around for the final time, he saw--


A skinny avatar with deep silver-coloured armour that resembles Silver Crow was standing by the side of the table. By his side, a female avatar dyed bright orange-yellow was seated on the white chair.

A small black cat was perched on the girl's knee, happily blinking its eyes.

Underneath the glare of the moonlight, the silhouettes of the three appears to waver, but Haruyuki is sure that this is no illusion. It is the feelings of the boy towards the girl, as well as their mutual feelings that gave rise to this cat, that have finally returned to where they belong.


--farewell. I hope, to meet again.


Fighting the urge to break down in tears, Haruyuki bid them one final goodbye in his heart. Taking a large step with his right foot, he walks away to his waiting companions beyond the doors.
