Accel World episode 24 FINAL EPISODE!

Hello there my lovely readers! Two posts in one day? GO ME! I also went to the bank, did all the laundry, did the grocery shopping, vacuumed, and ordered a 80 dollar online. Do you know how heavy a bag containing $252 worth of change is?! I thought everyone at the bank thought I was insane. XD I saved up all my change this entire year to put towards Anime Weekend Atlanta. Yay for more nendoroids (hopefully).

A dream or reality?
But in between buying Disney dolls and doing 3 loads of laundry....more anime! Up now is the final episode of Accel World...for now anyway! Spoilers for Nomi being healed in the name of the moon!
Photobucket
Um this happened at the END of the episode Tenchi?
Episode Summary: Kuroyuki is like you fight Nomi and I got this Black Vice dude. Haruyuki is like um have you seen my lack of wings…and energy…and ability to win? Nomi starts gagging because this friendship and love is getting to him. Time to battle. Nomi takes off flying and Haruyuki calls upon Sky Raker’s enhancements. They fly and bash each other for a while but Haruyuki has to keep stopping and recharging his wings while Nomi can fly free. Nomi says some snarky things and Haruyuki almost falls out of the sky. He thinks of Kuroyuki and Sky Raker (naked) and they give him the power to land the striking blow on Nomi. But before Haruyuki can win Chiyuri uses her power on Nomi. Nomi starts cackling like a crazy person and Haruyuki is like nooooooooo! But then Nomi’s wings disappear and reappear on Haruyuki’s back. Haruyuki is then able to blast Nomi into tons of pieces on the ground. Nomi’s head and part of his arm try to crawl away all the while asking how Chiyuri did this. Everyone else is X___X too so Chiyuri explains. Her ability is not to heal as weapons can’t be healed. It is to turn back time. Chiyuri joined up with Nomi so she could level up fast and move back the hands of time to before Haruyuki got his wings stolen. Everyone is all tears and happiness. Except Nomi who threatens to expose all their asses in real life. He tells Black Vice to come help him but Black Vice is like um no. Nomi threatens to expose him and the Club but Black Vice is like um no some more. Because once Nomi loses the game and it is uninstalled the chip will…melt in his brain and he will have no evidence. Black Vice tells everyone he has no grudges against their Legion and hopes to never fight them again. Kuroyuki tries to land one more blow but Black Vice gets away. 

Nomi then starts losing his mind and begs to join their Legion, offers to give them points, anything to save himself. For a moment is APPEARS that Haruyuki is going to forgive him but going back to the conversation a few minutes ago Haruyuki decides they will never understand each and finishes off Nomi. As they look at his sparkles in the sky Kuroyuki joins the others and reveals she only made it on time because Chiyuri called her. This leads to shocked faces and what not. Still Haruyuki is touched Kuroyuki did this all for him and says they will talk when she returns home. The other three return from the game and Chiyuri explains this was her plan all along and had to keep it a secret in case Nomi had bugged her. She starts crying and says she loves them both which doesn’t seem to startle the boys. Kuroyuki makes it back to Tokyo unharmed and bids her friend Megumi goodbye. Haruyuki meets her at the station and tells her all about what happened while she was gone. She is surprised that Sky Raker taught Haruyuki but is proud of what he accomplished. She hugs him and starts crying a bit, thinking that she almost lost him. She says she will reward him since he protected the legion. He asks her to stay with him forever which is romantic and scary to Kuroyuki. But they agree to stay together forever.

Since when does Chiyuri know so much about the game?!
The next day at school Kuroyuki gets her newspaper people to print a story about Haruyuki being innocent which leads to various people apologizing to him. He runs away from the attention and sees Nomi. Nomi walks by him and Haruyuki calls out to him. Nomi is like oh didn’t we play a game together and starts to smile. X____X After school Yuniko and Kuroyuki bring some of their legion members to talk about how when the game is uninstalled all memories of what happened because of the game are erased thus the not so evil Nomi. That makes people question why the game is capable of doing that. Kuroyuki smiles, saying she will ask when she reaches level 10. People part and go their separate ways with Haruyuki saying he needs to do one thing. Kuroyuki joins him and they talk about even if they lose Brain Burst they will not forget each other. Haruyuki’s one thing turns out to be returning Sky Raker’s enhancements. She sees that Kuroyuki is tense and talks to Haruyuki only. She walks away but Kuroyuki calls out to her friend and they end up crying and collapsing in each other’s arms. It appears that means Sky Raker will join Kuroyuki’s legion. Haruyuki starts talking about how life is always changing and they must go with it, growing and what not. Everyone from the show is seen doing their everyday things with special attention paid to Nomi and Megumi. Haruyuki smiles up at the sky and thinks about flying and how the game has changed his life. THE END!

NO FORGIVENESS!
XO What the hell was that?! I did not see people thrown off building because of their bad behavior. All I saw was hugs and kisses and forgiveness. In the name of the Moon…it was expected! Sweet but expected. XD
Photobucket
And that is where Kuroyuki stood...the entire time. X___X
Kuroyuki apparently did all that she was going to do in terms of this battle last episode. By making sure that Takumu didn’t get decapitated. That is important and not something small but this episode she was either watching the battle or actually having a hard time getting out of Black Vice’s grip. Which is slightly worrisome either way. Maybe the battle between Nomi and Haruyuki was so fast it just looked like Kuroyuki was standing around doing nothing. Yeah that sounds better.
Photobucket
I got people to kill so lets hurry up here folks!
Nomi saying all the friendship and love was killing me….at least he was consistent? His brother bullying him and losing his only friend really must have cut off his ability to connect to people. When he was taunting Haruyuki that if things had started off different would they have tried to save….I sorta wanted to punch him in the head and nod that he was right on their assessment of their behavior. Kuroyuki cuts off the head of her good friend in the game with no questions asked but everyone else is forgiven with Haruyuki logic. XD That all being said Nomi is insane and sucks.
Photobucket
You is about to crash there Haruyuki!
I liked that Haruyuki has having problems with the enhancements but it wasn’t the end of the world. He was able to recharge them and keep on fighting. Because if all he got was that tiny bit of battery life it wouldn’t be worth it at all. Since he only used them once before and only used it in one battle we didn’t get a real feel on how they worked. It seems that Sky Raker wasn’t able to fly despite wanting it so (too) much but Haruyuki who has already flown..and probably being more amazing because he is the main character was able to make it work.
Photobucket
Naked help is the best help!
Of course…thinking of the girls naked was probably a bit special. We can only power up if we think of people without their clothes on. Maybe it isn’t as bad as I make it sound like because they are naked when “battling” in this game. It was just like OH time to be naked and support Haruyuki. With our love surely he will win.
Photobucket
OH SNAP YOU DIRTY STRIPPER!
When Chiyuri “healed” Nomi I was laughing. Laughing so hard. Like haha you all got screwed by the hoe bag and Nomi had the best plan on the face of the planet. He would be like EFF YOUR FRIENDSHIP, stomp on Haruyuki, decapitate Takumu, and force Kuroyuki to run (or kill her) cackling as his evil plot came true. I mean I hate Nomi but so far he has played what seems to be a perfect game. Except the part where he decided to explain himself. Had he not done that Kuroyuki wouldn’t have made it to the battle in time. Curse you villains. Talk LATER!
Photobucket
Well cookies for you.
But then Chiyuri and her stripper ways were explained. Oh okay not the stripping. But Chiyuri is not a healer. Which makes sense as your avatar is made based on your past hurts. Chiyuri is constantly going on and on how she wants things to be how they used to be. That would require turning back the hands of time. Go Chiyuri. Go Chiyuri indeed.
Photobucket
Um your eye is melting....
I like how in his defeat Nomi was ranting and raving making his ugly faces. And by like I mean MOG you are like half a person on the ground (well more like 1/4 a person) and you are still talking smack. Aren’t you like 12? How big are your balls kid? Like oh snap I will tell everyone who you really are! And Black Vice, you better do what I say or I will expose you too! Nomi faltered a bit when he said he would give them all his points (like…you already are) and will join their legion. I think I would have liked it better had he just cackled and lost his mind at that point, stating he was the best or something.
Photobucket
Thanks for threatening me but I am leaving. Bye.
Black Vice was like PEACE OUT! He really didn’t do much of anything and when things got ugly just left instead of helping out Nomi. So why did he help out Nomi? He wasn’t getting any of the free points if they won so that can’t be the reason. If Haruyuki and his team won he would be exposed as part of the Cheater’s Club. I just don’t see why Black Vice came. I wasn’t expecting Nomi to have friends but if there was something for the Club to gain it would make sense. Peace out Black Vice.
Photobucket
WOOHOO! Cut off head indeed.
For half a second I thought that Haruyuki was going to forgive Nomi. Like he was going strike AT Nomi but it would be revealed it was inches from his face and that they were going to forgive him. Like was Haruyuki going to lose his mind like Nomi because the rules state the battle has to end. But Haruyuki took out Nomi and really didn’t shed any tears which was surprising.
Photobucket
And no one blames her for their jealous feelings yay!
As I stated earlier Chiyuri is the whole reason why everything ended on the up and up. She is going to join the guild and she and Kuroyuki seem to be friends now. All is right in the world. I just would like to know how stripping in front of Haruyuki was part of the plan. Yes she had to lie to level up her skill. A bit of anime magic and Chiyuri was able to think of this complicated plan despite just joining the game. That is okay. But stripping? What the hell folks. WHAT THE HELL! All is forgiven because Chiyuri training hard and thought of this plan to get Haruyuki his wings back and defeat Nomi.
Photobucket
I think I see a demon!
Was Megumi glaring at Haruyuki on the bus? Did anyone else see the crazy eyes?! I sure did! There was a bit more of Megumi in this episode. If she doesn’t have the game anymore how was she able to pick out that perfect present for Kuroyuki? Sure it could have been a representation of Kuroyuki’s online avatar but it looks like Kuroyuki thinks that Megumi is aware of the Brain Burst program.
Photobucket
AWWW! Tears for everyone!
Kuroyuki and Haruyuki had a sweet reunion. She didn’t yell, she didn’t get jealous over Sky Raker, and over all had a good balance of controlled and sobbing behavior. Haruyuki had some tears, told Kuroyuki he wanted to make her proud, and used his one wish on making sure they could be together forever. They aren’t an official couple yet which is weird after the hospital drama and what not. Get it together people. XD Life at school seems to be better for Haruyuki. Glad this entire mess got cleared up. Again it is hard to blame the boyfriend of one of the locker room victims. He had a right to be mad but of course violence is never the answer. This comes from a girl whose answer to everything growing up was throwing things at people’s heads and running for the hills. So go Haruyuki! Your life is better.
Photobucket
Nope. Still do not want.
Nomi….is scary no matter what. But at least now he looks like a 7th grader and not the boy version of the Orphan girl. But the smiles and looking at the sky, pretending to fly. It was a bit weird to watch. Like oh we played a game together. Let me poke my cheeks and thinks of what it was. It was creepy.
Photobucket
Explains why the game is a secret but still. How can someone grow/suffer from the consequences of their actions?!
Also HOW FAIR IS THIS CRAP! Nomi did tons of horrible things and now he gets a blank slate and a second chance without suffering the consequences. He doesn’t get to walk around school feeling bad for himself because he lost the program. Because he never knew he had it! Did this happen to his brother? He got a blank slate of beating on his younger brother while Nomi had to look at his face all the time and know the truth? UNFAIR! Also what is the point of the game? How can you grow as a person if you forgot all that you have been through. Yes they shouldn’t be able to accelerate anymore but remembering what happened. BLEH! BLEH!
Photobucket
Because the power of friendship/love will make her remember!
So after the meeting with Yuniko and Kuroyuki throwing the audience a teaser for season two (why yes I am still trying to get to level 10 ya’ll) Haruyuki had to wrap the episode up by making sure the power of friendship shined on. He gave Sky Raker back her item but did so in front of Kuroyuki. I thought for a moment that Kuroyuki was going to let her walk away and Haruyuki was going to say something like well maybe next time and it would happen next season. But I guess almost losing Kuroyuki was enough for her to put aside her pride and get her friend back. WOOHOO! Kuroyuki has doubled her legion guys! But kidding aside it was a nice moment. Glad the girls could forgive each other and move on, even if we only got part of Kuroyuki’s real name.
Photobucket
Okay that part almost made me cry. :*
As Haruyuki thinks back fondly about how his life has changed from Brain Burst the episode draws to a close. This show was pretty decent even if the terminology got a bit hard to handle at points. Like oh by the way this is this and colors mean this and blah. But I thought this show had a unique protagonist. It is hard to see why a single guy has a hard time getting girls when he is hot and smart (same goes with single girls). But Haruyuki looks different and was bullied. This show really focused on the power friendship which made me laugh at times but for this protagonist it was so important given how rough his life has been. I really enjoyed watching this season even if Nomi’s smile haunted my dreams. I look forward to next season when Kuroyuki ACTUALLY defeats a king? XD

The ending shown new people and that means new Avatars!! I just like those Avatars design.

But, you’ll never guess the Duel Avatar for one of them… they’re just way too different! In fact that one is so different it is kind of shocking.

Chiyu's ability to think so far ahead and know herself (clearly I didn’t know her at all), actually paid off. As for Chiyu's power, the only thing she can’t revert is leveling up… but she could revert back equipping enhanced armament and other changes to avatar. In other words, she can not reduce everyone back to Level 1.

SPOILER******SPOILER********SPOILER

She tried to to revert Sky Raker's legs but could not.

Noumi, finally, went down like the insect he is. I’m so glad that Haru finished him off. What a happy ending!

Like bear said,
>>"I came to the conclusion that Noumi’s loss of memories associated with Brain Burst also wiped out the traumas he suffered at the hands of his brother. He destroyed his brothers Brain Burst ability so neither had any associated memories of it. Without the trauma he may have been a decent person. So losing Brain Burst may have been the best thing they could have done for him."<<

So there will be a second season? Oh goody, good. I was sad that Nomi took up half the show, but now that I know there will be more, i'm not so dissapointed.

It's tough to take those believe in yourself momoents seriously when everyone is naked. It's sort of hard to ignore XD.

Yes! So the demon eyes were real! I saw them out of the corner of my eye, but didn't rewind to make sure. Good, I'm not crazy ^^'

Rather than a kid. Noumi was acting like a gay. I am serious. Pfft. I can help but laugh at him.

I love how he kicked Noumi's butts, or rather, how he stabbed his guts, lol. And how he cut Noumi into two. The final battle was well done. Thanks for the animation studio. I love Kuroyuki and Sky Raker's reunion also. Also Haruyuki's speech. It makes me think better of him and Accel World as a whole. But then again, this is Kawahara's 2nd work, so it has to be better, right?

I will wait for 2nd season. I hope to see KYHM starts gathering back her old subordinates. I want to see the girl-boy Aqua Current rejoin her. I want to see more of Crikin and his real self, who's only hinted slightly.

Anonymous- This intrigues me, the very different avatar. Gives me something to look forward to in the next season yes?

I think Chiyuri pulling that all off was...a lot of anime magic. Or maybe she had me fooled too. I mean maybe she is smart in real life but she seemed so confused with the basic components of the game it surprised me she was able to figure out her ability whereas two seasoned players couldn't.

Anonymous 2- While I agree that his brother's abuse helped to shape the person he was in Brain Burst it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth he didn't really have to suffer any of the consequences. Like he FORGOT that he loved/needed the game to do his accelerating. He didn't really learn about friendship or how he hurt people. Heck he deserved to cry over losing the program. It might have been the best thing for him but he doesn't even know he is being punished. Of course this leaves the door open for him becoming a Brain Burster again (new duel avatar anonymous 1?) so...maybe he can apologize and suffer at a later date.

NotNeverOutGrewToys- Nomi really did take up so much of the show. Like we got a Red King over in this corner and her main "arc" was completed so fast. We got some cheater nothing kid 8 episodes and counting it seems.

The power of friendship is magnified when everyone is naked. Apparently.

Hopefully the demon eyes were just a joke...otherwise Haruyuki needs to watch out.

Eternia- I am kinda on the fence about the Kuroyuki/Sky Raker reunion. That maybe it should have taken more time and effort on the girls part. Haruyuki seemed to do all the work. But maybe when you are fighting over a misunderstanding and you both know it, it is easier to "forgive" than if the issue had been bigger. Kinda rushed the ending though.

I love that Nomi got his ass kicked, just wished that he suffered in real life too. Haruyuki seems to be okay NOW with his speech but he loses his self esteem pretty often. Hopefully in season two he will be even more confident in himself.

Ugh why did they have end this series it was so good and they could have gone more into it trying to get to level 10. Is there anyone to talk to to see if they could make more seasons?
