Erm could you be abit more specific? I'm looking at those chapters and I don't see any mentionings that he's accepting God.

And growing white wings doesn't mean that he's one step closer to accepting God. He is however, getting closer to his realm everytime he power-up.

Again, abit more specific? As far as I recall the issue of believing God or not never came up for the protagonists.

[Kenju of the Right]

In Vol 22 he did say

Powerfully,

as though refusing to let go a second time.

"...Thank you..."

The words came out bit by bit.

His voice shook, and not simply because of his body, ragged inside and out.

"...Damn it, thank you... thank God...!!"

Perhaps with the original Accelerator, these words would be impossible.

Though I don't know about the other instances

I recall that scene yes, but I also recall shortly afterwards that the words 'thank you God' was an added flavor by the translator.

The original words were a simple "yokatta".

[I_am_Kami]

well mainly what kenjou said.


though if u say that the translator added that then it might be so.

[UNDER_LINE]

Yeah, he didn't thank God in that scene. It was just added by a translator.

This was the original line.

「ちくしょう。　良かった。　本当に良かった・・・・・・ッ!!」

No speak japanese

[chrisbad726]

The translator added "Thank god" for flavor.

yokatta is the past form of good which is ii

stuff like this always ends up differently depending on the translator.

@Kami
that reads as Chikushou. yokatta. hontoni yokatta.

I would personally translate that as "Damn it. Thank goodness. Really, thank goodness."

[SuzushinaYuriko]

I don't think Accelerator is accepting God more and more, but simply acknowledges the existence of one.

From volume 12:

Accelerator is cynically smiling inside himself.

He's so used to it, it's scary.

Having accepted the present circumstances as a matter of course, besides himself- whose displeasure is even revealing- just what kind of plans might he have?

Though he did only that,

He should give thanks to God- who's probably above the clouds- for letting him stand here.

From volume 15:

On hearing that scream, Accelerator reflexively does a facepalm.

"(...What's with that brat showing up in a situation like this!? That 'God' bastard sure is messing around!!)"

"(...Hahaha, that's life for you.)"

It might not even be that; People say stuff like 'goddamnit', 'Oh my God!', 'there is no God!' etc without really thinking much.

Then again, how many of these lines are literal and how many are translator's flavor, we don't know.

[Mr.Kyon]

Part 4 and 5 of NT Chapter 3 is out.

Oh fuck, Worst disabled the Strongest with the plastic bag of doom. Also, Worst really is a deadpan snarker, calling out Accelerator for his lolicon ways in the middle of a serious moment. And the flirtatious 100 spanks...hngg, watch out Ollerus and Silvia, they're might be a upcoming couple wanting to dethrone you from your perch.

Fremea asking about Komaba...ouch, that stung a bit. Poor thing. Plus, she got nyahed by Motoharu (nyahed can mean multiple thing tbh O_O).

[Hollownerox]

Hey guys I just found out that To Aru MaJjutsu no Index and To Aru Kagaku no Railgun will be English dubed soon by Funimation. The manga will also be translated, though I didn't hear anything about the light novels being translated however...

No, specifically on those 2 volumes God is mentioned.

[Mr.Kyon]

Rest of NT 1 chapter 3 is translated. Seems the freshman was part of Dark May Project along with Saiai, and Komaba is a white knight as always.

sihr = supernatural power you get when contracted with evil

miracle = god bless you

@Cosmic Eagle : I see. Hearing that makes want to point somethings out though.

As Nutshell has implied, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are similar, since they share the same root as well, that was traditions of Abraham. And Islam has her own terminology for this, "Samawi" religions, "Samawi" means "celestial", means that those are religions that came from heaven, as opposed to, say, like pagan religions that came from human imaginations, in other words "earthly" or "Ardhiyah".

It's kinda funny that the church mainly derives their magics from Kabalistic mysticism, though I won't call that as weird. However, it's to be noted that Islam is overall much closer to Judaism compared to Christianity. But as I've pointed out, Islam has her own, much fluider and less standardized mysticism, that is the basics of Sufism.

However, when we compare between Islam and Judaism, in regards of which one is closer to Christianity, it is actually Islam that wins. Islam also holds up Jesus as an important figure too, and also believes in his second coming to earth, but for different reasons to what the Christians believe .

@Nutshell : That's the view the current day majority of muslims hold today, but IIRC that definition of sihr only became mainstream in 10th century. I'll check my sources again.

Ch 4 is done in Chinese, though considering how fast Bakatsuki is going maybe there isn't as point me giving out info lol...

Anyway, spoilers:

Spoiler for Ch4:

Car (well, Dragon Rider + Powered Suit to be precise) chase scene, and the stats on those things are insane. Then after that Shiage and the one with the 'silver' kanji in his name had a brawl, with Shiage barely coming out on top.

Dragon Rider is something Anti-Skill have been developing officially over the past few years, and is the ultimate machine outside of the Dark Side. Max speed 1,000km/hr, and can travel on 70 degree angle surfaces if necessary. It also has a Testament machine of sorts that downloads the necessary info to pilot it into your brain, so it's possible for a complete newbie to use the thing. The suit also protects your body so you won't die at that speed.

And Shiage manage to 'steal' it since the electronic lock isn't good enough to keep him out >.>

The Anti-Skill guy guarding the bike let Shiage take the thing, since Shiage's desparate to save Fremea. That guy helpfully gave Shiage instructions on how to work the thing.

At the end, Fremea is recovered by Shiage, and Accel took down the other Powered Suit. On a side note, that Suit can go at 750km/hr, and Accel can catch up to it easily.

Oh, and then they are surrounded by another 10 of those Suits, with the Dragon Rider trashed after the fight.
