Four eh?



Well, Amaterasu then Tsukiyomi and Susanoo are a must since those 2 came from the same origin.

Now, who is the fourth? Izanagi is my guess since Izanami is dead in the legends after giving birth to Kagutsuchi who was killed by his enraged father due to his wife's death.

Metatron is already one of the Four Saints. It appears that Kawahara Reki is going for a mix of mythologies when he chose members for the Four Saints, the other two are most likely from other religions and mythologies (Aztec, Tao, Norse, etc.)

• Legend Rank Enemy
• Guardian of the Shiba Park underground maze and the fourth of the Seven Star Aramaments
• One of the Four Saints, Enemies with extremely high AI bordering on a distinct conscious
• Haruyuki's newest waifu

Hi there, I'm new in the thread. I'm about to begun Dust Robber's volume in baka-tsuki (i already watched the anime), and was wondering when should I try to read the Bluray ss so as to not spoil myself.

Thanks beforehand, see ya

[tuckersister]

Next volume we will see Haruyuki's and Metatron's normal daily life the last volume. Probably be funny.

Metatron can fly, right? I can imagine Kuroyukihime itching to kill Metraton and skin Haryuki in his pig avatar alive.

Can anyone give me a resume about why the girls were wearing such tempting animal-based outfits in the last 2 volumes?

Btw, my favorites were Pard (her cheetah outfit turns me on Grrr!!!), KYH (dat ass), Chiyu (she isn't favorite chara but I doubt anyone can resist that sexy cat ouffit) and finally Ash's imouto.

Not yet, though we're getting there.

Spoiler for AW Vol16 + SAO Alicization WEB arc spoilers:

AW Vol16 have shown Accel Assault, Brain Burst, and Cosmos Corrupt are basically different versions of the mostly-same acceleration game, with the Imperial Palace being the common piece in all of the versions without changes (ie, Four Gods & The Fluctuating Light are present in all versions). Metatron posits the creator/s of BB doesn't own the Fluctuating Light, and these games were created so someone can break into the Imperial Palace and reach the Fluctuating Light. Additionally, after going back to the Level 9 levelling-up message to check the Exact Words, Black Lotus found after reaching Level 10 the reward was not "clear the game", but instead "understand the truth of this world".

So where does Alicization comes into this? Well, in the WEB Final chapter Kikuoka was thought to have alternative motives than the stated goal of having Japanese military being independent from the US for their national security. Combined with the existence of Azure Heir in the Imperial Palace, and the 'Japan Fuck Yeah' attitude Kawahara have for the UW battles against US, Korean and Chinese players this leads to my leap of logic:

*in case it needs to be re-stated, everything below this point is only my conjecture*

Post-UW, Kirito + others decided to keep UW sealed away from the world since it would open them to abuse by the real world. The 'Information War' in the shadows from the WEB epilogue may or may not have happened by the time of AW-timeline, but if it did I'm guessing the UW side didn't win - as seen by the lack of AIs/Fluctlights everywhere. I'm guessing there were three sides:
1) Kikuoka, Higa, by extension Rath with an alliance with StarKing!Kirito and Fluctlight!Kayaba;

2) SAO protagonists - Kirito + harem allies such as Asuna, Alice, and the people in UW that chose to follow him instead of their Star King (I'm guessing after 200 years Kirito would be more like F/Z!Arturia than a shounen protagonist);

3) antagonists - the US + traitors in the Japanese government that sold out to foreign influence.

Kikuoka worked for the Imperial Family and believed with them in charge it would be better compared to corrupt, inept politicians and excessive foreign meddling. With the end of the Information War the heavy-weights such as Fluctlight!Kayaba and StarKing!Kirito sealed the entrance to UW, with only a small portal remaining - that being The Fluctuating Light as we know it in BB. The Imperial Palace is their stronghold, with Incarnate System being the #1 thing that could break through and the thing to watch out for by the Mobs there. Azure Heir is their answer for the unification of UW and Japan, with StarKing!Kirito unwilling to take the throne and is only motivated by duty after being exhausted by 200+ years of life and his Asuna that stayed with him all that time gone.

Kirito and other helped made AA, BB and CC, to act both as a shackle to Faction #1 and as a training/recruiting ground for the UW side - Kirito probably won't agree with the means Rath is going for, but they're the lesser of two evils compared to #3. Kayaba helps out Faction #2, as he's like the opposite of SK!Kirito, like how there needs to be two programs checking each other in the Cardinal System.

The Acceleration Research Society would be antagonists supported by Faction #3 SAO-series' era, with government funding (my reasoning for how the the ISS kit core in a expensive hotel was possible) and hardware technology (eg, BIC) in exchange for not having total-access to Fluctlight tech & UW. With Kayaba on the other team the ARS side won't ever be able to out-maneuver Faction #1 using 'software'/minds.

The entirety of Accel World plotline is the calm before the storm where older plotlines clash again, or to quote F/SN!Gilgamesh "women and children" fighting before the real badasses of the previous generation take the stage.

I really want to know in what kind of context this happened. happened.

[tuckersister]

I think I said it already or someone else said it: Lime Bell owned MKII.

About that...:

Spoiler for what happened in the image:

After the the main event of the culture festival(the student council presentation) they head to the Animal Kingdom cafe next door where you can have your picture taken dressed up in animal costumes.Everyone goes up to have their pictures taken - normally - and everyone but Kuroyukihime and Chiyuri come back off the stage. Fuuko gets real close to Haruyuki and sweetly says "Okay, you're good to go, Mr. Crow."

Haruyuki: Oh god, was that a direct order? Oh god, it was.

Terrified at what might happen if he refused Fuuko's direct order, he switches the costume setting over the "sexy" version and their clothes start disappearing.

Afterwards, in the hallway, he has a short conversation with Takumu that goes something like,

Takumu: Did you get a picture of that?

Haruyuki: Well... yeah, but they forced me to delete it after.

Takumu: I see...

Haruyuki: ...

Takumu: Any chances the data might be recoverable?

Haruyuki: Probably not... but that doesn't mean I won't try.

Takumu: I see. If there's anything I can help you with, please, just say the word.

Haruyuki: Okay.

They're interrupted by Chiyuri asking them what they're whispering about, and they both reply "Nothing" in perfect sync.

To be honest,I didn't expect Taku to say that.

Thanks, but why Chiyu asked if she along with KYH also wear those outfits in the last volume. Or was it a separated event?

[gensouR-1]

Also some info not included in the summary

Spoiler for missing info:

-Magenta Scissor's RL Name is Odagiri Rui(srsly Kawahara?,she instead of Vise or Cerberus?,not that i mind though btw).
-It is revealed that the Avatar creation nightmare isn't the Brain Burst program feeding information, but the person feeding information into it.It is the Person who installed Brain Burst that showed the nightmare not the Brain Burst Program itself.Burst Linkers are all born using Incarnate from day one.
-On the subject of Duel Avatar color some of the desires that creates a Duel Avatar is revealed:
Blue: The desire for strength to overcome obstacles
Red: The desire for strength to reach distant places
Green: The desire for strength to protect others
Metal: The desire for walls to protect one's heart
When you look at it this way,Blood Leopard makes perfect sense as a red Avatar - animals naturally have the power to reach further distances more quickly.

Answer me please.

Spoiler for iirc:

it was never said that chiyu asked KYH to wear those outfits,everyone probably took pictures by themself or by pairs.while it was never clear who was first in order,KYH and Chiyu was last and their picture was about to be taken by Haru,until Fuuko Happened anyway.,and yes it was a separate event.the pictures were taken backstage in the Animal Kingdom cafe,commemorative photos iirc.

[iceaco]

Whoaaa wasn't following this LN because I started with anime and was too lazy to read LN which was behind, then just found out Yen Press is licensing it and will be taken down from BT..
Flere821 you've been busy here too eh o_O Time to crawl through the thread looking for summaries to read.. whee~

So from what I gather by reading a few recent posts, Tusjecht has been translating some in his/her blog and Flere821 has been posting up summaries again?
