The Armor of Catastrophe, Chrome Disaster!

Why? We should've had plenty of time left here!

It can't be!

What about the other Burst Linkers on the train?!

Deceit Fire Cracker!

Let yourself be devoured! Be devoured and become a part of me!

This is just a slaughter!

All my eyes will ever behold is you, in all your radiance

I will awaken and tread

through this world

I wallow in self-pity and insignificance

and all that I look out on

is a lie, a fabrication

I realize that, looking from where I stand, practically alone

The future ahead of myself, so much brighter, promises me beauty

We ask for a place where we can all be ourselves, develop as we want

All my eyes will ever behold is you, in all your radiance

Now for the first time I can go faster than the others

and will go farther and higher than I used to

I want to tell you my feelings

I will awaken, walk through this world

and chase it

That rabid dog!

Everyone retreat!

I'm supposed to help deliver the Judgment Blow by weakening that thing?

Impossible!

Hmm, nicely done!

Snow Black.

What's this?

What's wrong with me?

After everything I just said to Snow Black,

why can't I move?!

"A Burst Linker with no will to fight can't control their duel avatar."

It's just as the little girl says.

It's hard to admit, but I still regret my betrayal from two years ago.

Deep down, I'm afraid of my own desire for conflict and glory.

But you're the opposite, Haruyuki.

You're afraid of being defeated because you'd think of

yourself as worthless.

That's why you've been so down in our territory battles lately.

But I would be worthless. That's the truth!

It's all I am!

Don't be so foolish!

Whatever happens, I'll never abandon you.

Do you really think the bond between us

is that fragile?!

Amazing! How can she...?

She seems to be enjoying it!

Please escape! Snow Black!

This is my true spirit, Haruyuki.

You saw an ugly side of me before.

As your teacher and guardian, I couldn't have faced

you in the real world if that's all you'd seen.

But what's the point of losing?

That's where you're mistaken!

There's no honor in retreating!

Once you've entered the field of battle, regardless of who your opponent is,

the only thing that counts is doing your best!

She's right.

I used to be so focused. I didn't care about how others saw me...

But now I'm scared of being laughed at if I lose.

Worrying about how other people see me in Accel World is ridiculous.

I'm such a dumbass!

Right then, Haruyuki. Ready to lose gloriously?

Yes.

Snow Black!

Snow Black!

Snow Black!

Why?

Why?

Niko! No, Scarlet Rain!

What are you playing at?!

If you defeat Snow Black, Black Lotus will lose all her points!

So what?

To a Burst Linker, all other Linkers are enemies.

If you lose to an enemy, you lose points.

When you have zero points, you're expelled forever. It is what it is.

But we are...

Allies?

Your sweet little naïveté makes me want to puke!

Listen, I'll tell you one last thing.

In Accel World, there's no one you can trust.

Allies, legion members, friends,

even the guardian-protégé bond, it's all just an illusion!

Once I've disposed of him, I'm going to come after you next.

You'd better start running to get a head start.

Next time we meet, it'll be as enemies.

Does it have to be like this?

What a terrible sight.

Jeez!

This is why I hate kids.

Snow Black.

She didn't shoot!

She's just sulking.

Huh?

That girl wants to trust him more than anyone.

The greatest bond between Burst Linkers...

I can tell.

Those two are guardian and protégé.

Disaster, rather, Cherry Rook,

was the Red King's guardian.

What are you doing? I'm fine.

Go help Niko.

She's our friend.

Okay.

Leave her alone!

You...

Why?

We're friends, right?

I told you not to be so naïve.

You're the one being naïve.

Even though you're a king, you keep screwing around.

Brain Burst is nothing more than a curse for this guy now.

And you're the only one who can set him free,

Niko.

Ah.

I know.

I get it.

Let's end this.

Flying ability?!

No, just a massive jump.

He's aiming for the Sunshine Leave Point to try and log out.

Niko, this time you'll fire, right? The Judgment Blow.

Yes, I'll fire,

for his sake.

Then I'll hold him until you get there.

You can't do it alone.

He might be injured but you saw how much he can still move.

If he catches you, he'll devour you.

In that case, I'll fight 'til he devours me.

Accel World

Accel World

The Leave Point is on the outskirts of Sunshine?

If he's in the middle of a leap,

he won't be able to dodge me!

Huh?

I'll have to go for it the moment he lands.

What's that?

A wire!

So that's how he does it.

What can I do? How can I stop him?

I know!

Faster!

I have to go faster!

Yes!

I want to become stronger.

That's all.

I'm sure you can understand that.

You want to become stronger too, don't you?

So you think I'll forgive everything you've done?

Wearing that armor, attacking tons of avatars,

and even trying to devour your own protégé, Niko. Who could justify that?

You're not the only one!

You say you want more strength to face tougher challenges,

who doesn't?!

You did it, Silver Crow.

I'll take care of the rest.

Cherry and I don't know our guardians,

in the real world that is.

Our real parents...

My school is an education center for abandoned children.

Because of my personality,

I had trouble fitting in at school. I was always playing VR games alone.

But three years ago, a boy who was two years older than me suddenly approached me.

His face was bright red and he was laughably intense.

He asked me if I wanted to play a more enjoyable game.

When I became a Burst Linker, he was really intent on teaching me everything he knew.

He shielded and protected me.

But soon I caught up to him and then surpassed him.

Before I knew it, I was Level 9.

And after I became a legion master, I became obsessive.

I didn't think at all about how he felt or what problems he was struggling with.

In real life, when we'd meet at school,

I didn't even realize that he was acting strangely.

He wanted to be my guardian forever.

That's why he sought more power and was tempted by the Armor of Catastrophe.

If only I'd said something more to him...

Niko,

it's true that Brain Burst isn't just a normal game.

I'm always scared that I'm not strong enough.

And I'm frightened she'll abandon me someday.

But...

I know her real face, name, and voice.

Whatever happens, I know that bond will never disappear.

You should start over in the real world and become friends again.

In Accel World, we're in different legions,

but we became friends in the real world.

Friends?!

In your dreams!

At best you might make a good subordinate for me.

Whose subordinate is he?

Snow Black! Taku!

Of course! An hour passed, so you've fully recovered.

You were really crazy back there!

You too!

Well then, don't you have something to say to me, Scarlet Rain?

Sorry. That's all?!

Well you were lying around sleeping while we were in the middle of a fight!

Transition time.

Here in the neutral field, the elements are very unstable.

They change at fixed intervals.

Anyway, enough standing around watching in awe. We've got work to do.

Right.

Everyone open up your status screens and check your item storage.

If the Amor of Catastrophe is in there, make sure you get rid of it.

It's not there.

It's gone. For good!

Yeah.

Right.

Then that completes our mission.

Let's go celebrate.

Let's open some champagne! Champagne!

Don't be silly. Children drink juice!

Hu Hu Hu n n n gr gr gr y y y

Something wrong, Haru?

No, I'm fine.

That must've been my imagination.

I'm hungry! Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry

Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry

Everyone's watching, including Snow Black.

When will he shoot?

If I get shot down again I'll be a laughing stock.

No! This isn't like last time. Don't flee!

My enemy isn't the rifle.

It's the crouching avatar being controlled by a Burst Linker.

I have to sense the attack command before he even makes it!

Hey, that was an awesome dodge.

Um, well...

I watched him instead of the rifle, and he moved slightly right before he fired.

Oh, really?

Interesting.

That sniper might have had a sensory ability,

which would let him sense when enemies focus

on the rifle, allowing him to lock onto them.

So the reason I kept getting shot down was...

You focused too much on the weapons.

No way!

Don't worry about it.

I'm home.

Haruyuki. It looks like I'll probably be away again today.

Eh?

And I'm sorry, but one of my coworker's kids is going to stop by.

Thanks!

My prized collection again!

Ah!

Welcome home, Haruyuki.

We notified the five other kings, including

Radio, that Disaster has been taken care of.

So that should be the end of it.

Well, there was the matter of the Yellows taking the armor, but we had no proof.

And what about...

Cherry Rook?

Apparently he's moving next month.

It seems some distant relatives came forward out nowhere.

From Fukouka.

That's far.

That's why he was in such a hurry.

He thought if he moved away, Brain Burst would be our only way to connect.

But there aren't many Burst Linkers outside Tokyo,

so he wouldn't ever get the chance to duel and level up.

That's why getting the Armor was so urgent.

But...

Maybe thanks to losing Brain Burst, he was back to his old self.

He was the boy who first approached me again.

Which made me think...

Even if he's not a Burst Linker and he moves to Fukouka,

there are plenty of other games in the VR world, right?

Of course there are.

So make sure you tell me if you know of any good online VR games.

Something I can play with him for a long time.

I see.

You can take any of the ones I've got here.

They tend to all be the same type but...

Ah! What's this?

Um, it's a thank you present.

This is for me?

Give it back if you don't want it!

No, I want it!

Thanks! I was just surprised.

Mm...

They're delicious, Niko.

They're the best...

Why the hell are you crying?! Y-You idiot!

You're so embarrassing.

Stop it right now you idiot!

Either eat or cry, but don't do both!

We are tossed by waves of pain and tears

I'm tossed into the fray, tossed by various fortune

wake up your brain, flashed in the sky

it's a burst of sensation

I found peace once I gave up in this stagnant world

When did it become like that?

Without warning I was thrust into importance

All I seek is some permanence

among these troubled times for us

I will be honest and tell you what I feel

so that my words of truth and the dreams

I couldn't tell you echo in the sky

With more determination than before

I will wipe away the tears in my eyes

and with my new-found strength

I will whisper to myself, "Now is the time!"

and put my wounds to some use at last

Faster, ever faster, towards you

Even if my wings should be torn to pieces

I will make it through this twisted world on foot

and where my feelings lead me

I will accelerate with the truth

Next time, "Violation."

An intruder appears.

A new season arrives and a new battle begins.
