haru attidute this episode is so bad even making shin asuka from GSD is more likeable
noumi character remind me of this ninja guy from .hack 1st anime but even he still has pride as ambusher/backstabber, noumi is pretty much a person who merely use the burst linker status to his own personal interest with no commitment into the game whatsoever, he just happen to be lucky to have that kind of avatar sigh. iam so glad ash appear, he is the only "positive" character in this episode. and just me or his voice really sound like momotaro from kamen rider den-o? every time he do thumbs up i was ready to hear "ore sanjou" from him and his engrish is really fun to hear, giga suck lol tera suck wtf lol |

wow. Noumi's power is way too OP. stealing other's special ability and it is last forever.
So in this episode we see why in the opening silver crow is riding the back of Ash's bike. Ash's parent is the other flying avatar that KYH mentioned. It looks like Haru is going to have to relearn how to fly. I'm guessing it going to take at least a couple episodes before he can actually fly again so Haru would probably have to still give points to Noumi before his revenge. Noumi's character really pisses me off. Can't wait until Haru defeats that kid and take back all his points.

Spoiler for About Sora:
Here we have Noumi who takes the game seriously as he told Chiyuri, cheats in on fights trough BB when he was already talent gifted, enjoys others misfortune and takes advantage of it. He has a tragic past? Maybe and maybe not. The difference is Sora didn't made real harm outside the game while Noumi does. |

Maybe that is part of the reason I hated this episode so much it reminds me of them horrible H-Plot Blackmails where the girl would rather become a sex slave made to do worse things than have her picture released. Such a stupid overused plot and now used in an actual anime. |

Silver Crow's Wings not only represented Haru's confidence, but the ability to overcome his own trauma.
Keep in mind one of the requirements to become a Burst Linker is some form of emotional trauma, Haru's is quite apparent. The Accelerated World is effectively populated by a bunch of emotionally damaged kids/teenagers, so it isn't suprising for huge mood changes to occur when something traumatic happens. To all the posters who say "its just a game," I think you are ignoring the magnitude of the accel world to these kids. Keep in mind some of those Burst Linkers have spent literally years inside this game, and it has shaped their very persona. The game itself is a world within a world that allows them to escape/augment their reality. For Haru, being Silver Crow was his way to escape the "shell" that is his body. Noumi effectively shattered his peace in the real world by blackmailing him and defeating him, then destroyed his confidence by robbing him of his strength in the Accel World, where his talent and unique abilities made him outstanding. While Haru's response to this event was "wrong" it is far from badly written or nonsensical when you come from the point of view of a traumatized fat kid whose sole redeeming feature (in his own eyes) is based of the power he was gifted with in the Accel World. A power that was just taken from him by the worst kind of person possible.

This whole scenario reminds me of the second half of part 1 of Gurren Lagann. The MC has built himself up from humble beginnings only to have that be taken from him in horrible ways.
And, yeah, I'm seeing Simon in Haru, lashing out, making interoperate comments, the works. That said, eps 8-10 of GL were what made 11 one of the best episodes of that series. |

I never would have though that a brash, flamboyant guy like Ash would actually have some good philosophy under that skull mask of his. Awesome!

I get what they're aiming for in this arc, but the execution is slightly off. I think they're overdoing it a bit with Haru.
Ash Roller basically saved this episode for me. He served very well as the stand-in for what your average viewer was probably thinking (i.e. "Haru, stop tera-sucking already!" ). I also had to laugh when Ash Roller gave Haru the finger. It made me think of pro wrestling.

Do remember that Haru immediately forgive Taku and refused to let him punish himself, and that he refused to turn against Niko despite her loyalty and general morality up to that point being dubious at best. It's one thing to be mad at Haru this episode, but please don't forget about all the good things he's done, or all the times he's shown real loyalty. Quote:

There's a few things I'll say in Haru's defense, even though I myself got slightly annoyed with him this episode. When a guy has been ostracized for a long time, like I think Haru's been, they may find it impossible to believe their "good fortune" when all of a sudden a few people start being genuinely nice and friendly to them. This is amplified when the people acting this way to them are extremely popular... like KYH is. Nomi brought Haru's Burst Link world crashing down, which in Haru's mind brings him back to Square One, which Haru knows well (Nomi is simply a more intellectual version of the purely physical bullies Haru has dealt with all his high school life). So as Haru thinks back on his time as a Burst Linker, that time once more seems "too good to be true". Haru thinks to himself, "This low point is where I belong. I was given a life greater than I deserve, and now I must put that life aside since it was always too good to be true anyway. Putting that life aside is the one way I can get back at this Nomi bully." Now, is it logical for Haru to think this way? No, not really. But it makes some internal sense given what Haru has grown accustomed to in his life. I hope that Haru will one day truly realize and accept that KYH really does love him, and that Taku really is his friend (in Taku's case, it makes some sense that lingering doubts over Taku's previous betrayal will remain for awhile).
