Hello there my lovely readers! Work was actually….okay yesterday! How many times have I said that recently? Not many at all. I am sure some customers were like what is up with these crazy kids?! Where are the adults? How dare people be smiling and laughing at work! Such craziness indeed.
So here is a post that I was working on LAST WEEK! What a slacker I am. I need to stop clicking random links all the time. Priorities and what not. Or really limit the randomness down because time does get away from me when I am on the computer. XD Up now (finally) is Accel World episode 15. Spoilers for Tenchi not liking Nomi at all.
Look at me trying to be the biggest douche in the world.
Episode Summary: Haruyuki is suddenly thrust into a battle making the viewer think they have missed an episode or two. Nope it turns out that Nomi has forced Haruyuki into a battle already to collect his points. Haruyuki notes Nomi’s high level is due to him using these tactics on other people and that he has not earned those points. Nomi is like…so? Haruyuki decides he won’t stand for being bullied in the real world and in the game so he will fight Nomi. Haruyuki seems to have the upper hand and beats at Nomi for a while. Nomi hooks one of his arms on Haruyuki while he was flying so Haruyuki thinks he can simply drag Nomi into losing all his health. Suddenly Nomi cuts off his arm and Haruyuki crashes to the ground. Since the area is a graveyard some boney arms hold Haruyuki down as he watches Nomi grow back his arm. Nomi doesn’t really know what kind of power it is which confuses Haruyuki. Nomi walks over to Haruyuki and gives him some eyeball lasering. Haruyuki has no idea what he did but will beat Nomi. So he activates his wings…only nothing comes out. Nomi smiles and activates his own wings. Haruyuki remembers Kuroyuki saying he was the only avatar that could fly. Nomi explains his main attack allows him to steal the main ability/attack of others. Nomi can hold on to this ability as long as he wants. He says he will return it to Haruyuki as long as the boy gives him points every single week til graduation. Nomi wins the battle and basically tells Haruyuki he is nothing. He threatens Chiyuri as well and tells them to say nothing about this encounter as he needs more time to get Takumu and Kuroyuki running scared. Chiyuri starts crying, saying that all her hard work to come together like the good old days are for nothing. Haruyuki starts crying too.
Err...then why don't you take care of her Takumu?
In class Takumu notices that Chiyuri and Haruyuki are depressed. Haruyuki walks his sad self home and is ready to take a nap when Takumu comes over. The most awkward conversation in the world takes place. Takumu decides if Haruyuki doesn’t want to talk about what is making him depressed that’s fine. But Takumu wants to know what Chiyuri means to Haruyuki. Instead of saying um I have a hottie named Kuroyuki Haruyuki loses his mind and accuses Takumu of trying to give Chiyuri to him so Takumu can have Kuroyuki instead. This leads to Takumu punching Haruyuki in the face and everything ending badly. Haruyuki goes out later and sees a new game for sale. He decides if he buys the game he can delete Brain Burst from his memory and all will be forgotten. He has memories of all the fun times and how he has changed as a person with the help of the game. Haruyuki gets upset at the thought of deleting the game and takes a bus ride home.
Haruyuki getting bullied...again.
While riding around Haruyuki decides to see if he can fight without his wings and enters a Duel. An audience gathers around and his opponent turns out to be Ghost Rider. For some reason…these two are friends and Ghost Rider takes a lot of time to talk to Haruyuki. Haruyuki tries to punch Ghost Rider and gets flung away because he did the same move he always does and Ghost Rider actually learns. Haruyuki just lays on the ground and asks Ghost Rider to take him out. Ghost Rider is not happy with this lame fight and asks why Haruyuki isn’t flying. Haruyuki says he can’t anymore and his life in the game is over. So Ghost Rider, his new apparent best friend, tells Haruyuki to log on into the safe zone so he can take him on a motorcycle ride. Up a mountain to meet his Guardian apparently. When they get there Ghost Rider immediately drops the crazy talk and explains his Guardian was the avatar that was the closest to flying but has since retired from the game. An avatar in a wheelchair approaches leaving Haruyuki going wtf? THE END!
His helmet?
This episode….was a bit weird. Probably will go down as my least favorite episode in this series. Just not feeling this arc or new character. But since so far problems have been solved with hugs and forgiveness…I am not looking forward to Nomi crying his way out of this. Because he doesn’t deserve any AWWWW poor little moments. Throw the book at him folks.
Well duh it's hate on Haruyuki day weee!
I was slightly confused that there was a battle going on first thing. But I guess Nomi didn’t walk away after winning a fist fight with Haruyuki. No no he needed to throw it in Haruyuki’s face that he was the man and Haruyuki was nothing. Pretty sad but I must say effective.
Look at me, playing with Haruyuki in sense of the word.
Also was going to talk about how Haruyuki really was risking Nomi’s wrath by not giving up the points right away. But after watching this episode what else could Nomi really do to Haruyuki? Blackmail, taking his points, took his power, threatened his friend…seriously if Haruyuki rebelled a bit and lost what is the worse that would have happened? Nomi looked like he was having fun being a jerk so I think he enjoyed the fight.
Maybe Haruyuki should stop saying things like that.
I think that Haruyuki needs to really look at his opponents and think of a game plan before rushing into battle. Anyone looking at Nomi would think…he looks a little odd. Like some random parts from other avatars. Haruyuki needs to think of plans period actually. He seems to think doing the same moves over and over again (like with Ghost Rider) will result in wins. For someone who has played a lot of games and has gotten extensive tutoring from Takumu and Kuroyuki…you think he would be better about strategy.
How...very interesting...
Of course I say all of that and I don’t think anyone could plan on someone cutting off their own arm to win a game. That was a bit insane to watch. Starfish indeed. Does Nomi have to be creepy about everything he does and says?
Even Nomi's ability is annoying.
Nomi having the ability to steal other people’s abilities…not liking that at all. I hope it turns out that it is a hack Nomi created in the game because otherwise way not fair. Like totally folks. XD What is the point of training hard and leveling up if some newbie can come by and steal your power. And if your power is strong enough you may never get it back thus you are pretty much done in the game. So…calling unfair on this.
All the hard work SHE did!
Chiyuri crying over everything was a bit over dramatic. I mean she did get licked and sniffed and Haruyuki did see her naked. But she acted like everything she worked so hard for was now ruined. Like back that train up, you just joined the game yesterday and haven’t really played with the boys. Maybe she should have said her chance was ruined to make things the way they were but her hard work? Besides if they can’t play the game they have tons of time to spend together now right? Yeah I am a mean person….
I bet this game isn't as...hardcore. XD
Haruyuki responded in the way I expected him too. If he trained his skills around flying and his flying ability is gone…all of his plans are gone. True he should have been training his other skills all along but I can see how he focused on flying as the main attack and everything else was based on his aerial capabilities. So his woe as me going to delete the game now attitude makes sense and I won’t fault him for the pity party.
That was probably really unnecessary.
But that conversation between Takumu and Haruyuki…hot mess indeed!!!! Takumu really needs to talk to Chiyuri about their relationship. It makes me mad he is okay with being walked on or being second best. But in the end that is his fault and Chiyuri’s fault. Not Haruyuki. Stop blaming him and directing your jealously at him. Talk to your girlfriend who is having back and forth feelings. But then Haruyuki sorta lost his damn mind too with the whole OH you want Kuroyuki. Haruyuki at least knew what he was saying was stupid but…he still said it. Because Kuroyuki and Takumu are so in love folks. So Takumu needs to tell Chiyuri to choose and Haruyuki…should probably focus more on his maybe girlfriend.
Haruyuki crying? Never.
Since when did Ghost Rider and Haruyuki become best friends? Did I miss that character development? I mean obviously Haruyuki had to do a lot of training to level up off screen but friends? When did this happen?! They just seemed very, very chummy in a game that requires you to basically join a Legion and stay loyal to those people. I don’t know…I really didn’t think I was going to see Ghost Rider again (okay his name is Ash but come on folks!!!) and the way he was so nice to Haruyuki when this game requires winning points…I don’t know. At least it wasn’t as random as Kline and Kirito in Sword Art Online.
All hope is lost, kill me now.
But yes Ghost Rider is the nicest if not ugliest character ever. Haruyuki is sitting there on the ground depressed he is unable to fight and Ghost Rider is like…I will talk to you instead of taking some easy points. I really think that Haruyuki should have tried a little harder. Or at all. He does one typical move that Ghost Rider saw coming and called it a day? I will forgive Haruyuki as he has the right to be depressed given all that has happened recently.
I am taking you to a special place...just for the two of us.
Ghost Rider puts Haruyuki on his motorcycle and takes him on a magic carpet ride. To visit his Guardian. Who conveniently is the one person in the game who has come the closest to flying. I see folks. It pays for Haruyuki to make magical friendships with people off camera. They prove to be very important later down the line. Also wasn’t it cute how Ghost Rider acted so respectful when he got to the cottage? Wonders who his guardian is in real life.
Surely his boss will be as rough as him yes?
So that is where the episode ends. Haruyuki meets with Ghost Rider’s guardian, the one who almost flew. Only now she is in a wheelchair. Me thinks she tried to fly and it didn’t quite work out. I am not sure how she can lift Haruyuki’s spirits up as she has quit the game. Maybe it has nothing to do with her injuries but maybe it will be more like a Don’t Be Like Me conversation. Who knows. Hopefully Nomi gets a good kick in the ass soon because I am not liking this kid. Good grief.
