Accel World episode 16

Hello there my lovely readers. My eyes balls might pop out of my head. Or the TV might explode. I am clicking back and forth trying to catch glimpses of whatever the Olympics are showing at any given moment. I think the time difference is helping the viewing process as some events have to be previously recorded but now there are too many things to pick from. Isn’t that just so sad for me? XD

It's always about you Haruyuki!!!!

But if the Olympics aren’t your thing or you need a break from all the action I am here to entertain you! Well at least try. My attention has been distracted so I hope there aren’t many grammar mistakes. Well…no more than usual. XD Right now it is time for Accel World episode 16. Spoilers for Haruyuki crying and dying!

So many nice things she said about Ghost Rider.

Episode Summary: Ghost Rider (who I know is really named Ash Roller but come on folks!) has just taken Haruyuki to meet with his guardian Sky Raker. She looks a lot like a southern bell and a doll, riding around in a wheelchair. Ghost Rider quickly wishes Haruyuki good luck and says that Sky Raker will help him fly again. Haruyuki questions why Ghost Rider, a member from the Green Legion, would help him so. Ghost Rider tries to say he is really trying to get Haruyuki to join the Green Legion but really it is to give hope to all who saw Haruyuki fly….and because he likes Haruyuki. Haruyuki is eager to hear how Sky Raker, the avatar who came the closest to flying, will help him get his wings back. Sky Raker is like um no your wings are probably gone forever. Before Haruyuki can cry a million tears Sky Raker said that she may be able to help him FLY though. Sky Raker explains that her wheelchair is moving through her own will power, no outside source. She explains this comes from the incarnate system. She explains a bit how determined one must be to use this system, a system that most of the high level players can master through hard work. She shows Haruyuki that she is missing her legs and that is how serious she is. Haruyuki says he to learn to fly again to help someone out and almost has his daily breakdown.

Who could that friend be?!?!

Sky Raker says that is all for today and takes him inside for some yummy food. That night Haruyuki asks if Sky Raker belongs to the Green Legion as well. Sky Raker decides it is time for a bed time story. The next morning Sky Raker takes Haruyuki outside to the ledge of her castle on a cliff. She explains that there is one word to activate the incarnate system and that she will tell it to Haruyuki when she sees him next. She then pushes Haruyuki off the cliff. After Haruyuki respawns he decides that she wants him to climb the tower. He meets with little difficulty as he doesn’t fear the wind and that he will be okay. But just as he reaches the top the scenery changes and he is thrown to the ground again. This time there is a metal tower, one that Haruyuki can’t begin to breach. He sits and waits for another scenery change and Sky Raker sends him notes and such. Haruyuki figures out she wants him to use his will power to punch through the metal. Haruyuki practices tons until he puts together Sky Raker’s information with Kuroyuki’s information earlier that he will be the fastest avatar ever. He then imagines he is FASTLY putting his hand into the metal tower and not dying. With this will power he is able to finally to scale the tower.

So that makes you...super insane.

While climbing Sky Raker’s midnight story is heard. She was a member of Kuroyuki’s legion and is the friend she often mentions. Sky Raker became obsessed with flying but all she had was her amazing jumping ability. She decided that she needed to focus so…she asked Kuroyuki to cut off her legs. Kuroyuki was like um no you crazy. So Sky Raker said horrible things to Kuroyuki until she chopped off her legs. And in the end she was able to reach the top of this cliff by “jumping” but was never able to fly. As Haruyuki nears the top the scenery threatens to change again but Haruyuki does not allow himself to be pushed down again. He reaches the top and Sky Raker says he reached it a lot faster than she thought he would. Sky Raker informs Haruyuki the word is Override because they are truly changing reality and rewriting the rules of this game. While Haruyuki doesn’t have his wings soon he might be able to fly. Sky Raker meets with Haruyuki in real life and gives him a piece of her equipment that might help him in his endeavors. Haruyuki realizes that Sky Raker actually has artificial legs and that her generosity is way too much for him. Haruyuki starts to cry but Sky Raker is like no no its because you are sad that this is a good gift because we really understand Accel World. Haruyuki says that Kuroyuki is waiting for her return and the two part. THE END!

Haruyuki is climbing a mountain but at least he is away from Nomi!

XO It was like the writers of this episode were listening to me. They were like oh snap that Tenchi girl is pissed off at Nomi. Quick lets cut him from this episode and introduce a more likable character. Then as a twist we will have her be the evilest character ever who is going to push Haruyuki in front of a car AND hack into his network when they direct link. BRILLANT!

All you have to do is believe and all your wishes will come true!

Okay so that part didn’t happen. With how things have been going I expected Sky Raker to smile like an insane person and turn out to be like…well everyone else. But I was serious about the no Nomi thing. Amazing. I feel better now. Do you?

All part of his master plan!

I am glad that Haruyuki questioned Ghost Rider and why he is helping Haruyuki learn to fly again. Like you belong to a different region (just slide that into the conversation I sees) and you are helping me, an avatar with a special power that can take out other people if I harness it right. Sure what Ghost Rider said made sense, everyone looks up to Haruyuki and he represents something bigger than himself. But this is clearly a case of bromance and you are the most unique person ever thus I need to help you. Haruyuki has been teased all his life yet in this game he has the magical anime ability to bond everyone together and make his “enemies” help him.

And you are getting bullied again. X__X Rudes.

After Ghost Rider left Sky Raker started talking about mental scars and Haruyuki was quick to correct her that he was just bullied in school. Perhaps that is his low self esteem showing…again or maybe he believes that to be true. For some reason that made me proud of Haruyuki. Of course most bullies don’t try to RUN YOU OVER WITH A CAR! But part of what Haruyuki said was true. Maybe he is not that special. A lot of people get bullied at some time or another in school (because kids are cruel and usually learn their lesson after getting a taste of their own medicine) thus he is not all that unique.

The most specialest avatar ever!

But on the other hand car insurance commercial….maybe Sky Raker sees him as being a stronger person. That most people would have given up..which he almost did. But Kuroyuki saw potential in him. That Haruyuki wanted to reach for the sky and didn’t focus his energy on revenge or anything. Turning the negative into a positive. Now I am not sure how Sky Raker knew all of this since she is not in contact with Kuroyuki….but I guess maybe Ghost Rider told her…things he didn’t know either. MAGICAL!

Don't mess with my little heart!

Haruyuki is a pretty lucky person. He just lost his wings and someone is already talking about how they are able to save him. Or can they? Sky Raker is like oh no your wings are probably gone forever..or at for now for a good reason. I thought Haruyuki was going to throw himself off the cliff. Like why do you give me hope and snatch it away five seconds later. I am sure Haruyuki thinks everyone in the world hates him.

Clearly in a world that has computer parts inserted into babies THIS is amazing.

Sky Raker tells him about a secret technique that only the higher levels know. Our moment of OH didn’t you know this? XD Kuroyuki must have been amazing to see all this potential in Haruyuki when he was playing OTHER games online. But maybe Kuroyuki isn’t at fault for keeping this piece of information from him. If Haruyuki knew about this incarnate system he might have only focused on that and gone crazy trying to reach that level. Kuroyuki has already had to deal with one crazy person right? I can see why this piece of information was left out. Perhaps if Kuroyuki was in town for the wing losing event she would have suggested this herself.

Now imagine yourself...swimming in a pool of ice cream.

So this incarnate system. There were A LOT of words used to describe something that sounds really simple. If you imagine it REALLY HARD it will come true. I think I have a problem with this though. Like really writers you should have consulted me on this. XD But while I understand later that this is a program override….it seems like a bit too much to me. Of course this is no normal video game but there still should be rules and perimeters. You can’t just imagine you can do something and it can happen. There has to be a reason behind it, especially in a virtual reality game where things have to be created thus concrete rules are set it place.

Because they don't have enough powers already?

One could argue they are changing the “code” per say. Or maybe hacking. And of course we do not know WHY this game was created. Maybe this was the point of the game, for people to become stronger people in real life. Obviously having a stronger will power in real life might not result in anything in real life but it might give you the strength to find better solutions and courage to face what you can’t change. So while all this believe in yourself is almost going into magical girt territory maybe the true purpose of this game will reveal this to be the point. OR it’s just a magical way Haruyuki can beat Nomi without his wings. Either way.

Yay training!!!!

Sky Raker has a very interesting way of training people. Like I am going to push you off a cliff and cause you to die so you figure things out for yourself. She got a lot of credit for Haruyuki figuring most of it out on his own. Haruyuki is a nice person though and took the time to contemplate this very simple teaching technique. I probably would have been pissed but of course I can’t use my free will to fly and such.

Perhaps if Kuroyuki wasn't so....um...jealous she wouldn't have to worry about losing Haruyuki to other girls. On another note I am glad Sky Raker gets to walk around in real life.

Sky Raker is not Kuroyuki’s guardian as she is Ghost Riders. So that means when Kuroyuki has been having her woe is me moments she was talking about two people. Sky Raker is the person Kuroyuki did not want Haruyuki to meet because she is just so awesome and pretty and nice. Maybe Kuroyuki has a point but she should have more faith in Haruyuki despite the fact that he blushes at every girl he meets.

You could say all that and much more!!!

But oh snap folks. This lovely flower of perfection is slightly crazy yes? She admitted she was crazy which either means she is super crazy or on the road to recovery. Sky Raker’s ability is jumping. Jumping is not flying. Even if she could imagine being in the sky she probably could never fly unless she imagined wings…which would be too special to be believable. But this obsession with an unreasonable goal lead her to do very unreasonable things. I would think that one’s legs would be pretty important to the jumping process and maybe if you wanted to go the crazy route cut off your arms? Just saying.

Kuroyuki gets around a lot doesn't she? XD

Kuroyuki seems like a pretty smart person. But we have seen her act jealous and have moments of silly teenage girl. So I am wondering why she isn’t talking to Sky Raker. Does she feel guilty over cutting her legs off in a moment of anger. That she should have been the reasonable one and say um this is a bad idea. But I am thinking that Sky Raker said some trash talking things about the Red King (you know before Kuroyuki cut off his head) and that is why Kuroyuki got pissed about. Perhaps oh you will never be good enough for him and he will never leave his girlfriend for you. Sound about right? Surely this can’t be the whole story?

Brain Burst is the best game ever yes?!?!

But since Haruyuki is a boy and has other things to worry about he didn’t pry about their past relationship. Maybe he will slide that in with his next conversation with Kuroyuki. After the Nomi crisis has passed. For now he is woohooing he made it to the top of that tower by just imagining he could. And then since this is Haruyuki he had to cry when Sky Raker gave him her special item despite the fact it was her dream to fly and that maybe life hasn’t been fair to her in the game and in real life. That was pretty sad though right? Thank goodness Sky Raker was like oh I know you aren’t crying because you feel bad for me. You are actually crying because we are good people in the game I see!

Now go kick some ass!!!

I feel as if this post has gone on forever but I didn’t really touch on the override system much. Silly Tenchi. But you get the basic idea yes? You imagine something, it happens, and once again Haruyuki is the best person ever. So Haruyuki is going to go and kick Nomi’s sad little butt now yes? Please say yes!
