What's the name of this Burst Linker who doesn't appear on the list?

Rust Jigsaw.

Not the same guy...

It seems like you know quite a bit about this, huh little guy?

Well, it's just that a different Burst Linker with a similar ability

has shown up on my local net.

Seriously?! We need to get to the bottom of this.

Maker, what level and type is Jigsaw?

Hmm... He's Level 6, like you.

He's a rust color, just like his name.

His specialty is hunting melee types while he kites them around from a distance.

In other words, he's not a good match for you.

'Kay. Though I think that might work out better.

In exchange for the info, I'll tag with this kid and lure him in.

What?!

Your name will certainly lure him in,

but I'm not so sure about the new kid.

Who is he? Where's he from?

He might actually be more famous than I am.

This kid is Silver Crow, from the recently revived Nega Nebulous.

Through an endless sky we fly

guided by invisible wings

Far in the distance the future awaits us

though as yet we cannot see it

Why have I already awoken?

Day and night pass by too fast

We live our lives engulfed by hazy darkness and knowing it

The day I found you a wind blew that changed it all

A trembling passion

Everything was part of a process that led me to you

Slowly opening up my eyes within the blackness

I can feel how the future will be from far away

and want it to send my heart racing

It's unlimited

It's unlimited

If I can believe in myself again

I will awaken to the light

because you believed in me and now you are here

Never let me go

I'll never lose my way

Here we make a new world

and I'll be proud of the wounds it took

So we smash gravity

Hey! Prominence's Leopard is gonna fight!

Why would she team up with Nega's Crow?!

If we queue as a team, will Rust Jigsaw come if he's alone?

The rumor that you've lost your wings has spread far and wide.

If he's heard about it, I don't see why he wouldn't show.

Well, if he can kill me right away, then

it'll be a normal one-on-one fight with you.

It also occurred to me that if Jigsaw is connecting to this local net,

he's got to be somewhere in this building in the real world.

True.

Then is there any way of finding him?

There might be a way.

What is it?

I'll explain later.

More importantly,

you mustn't use the Incarnate System unless he does.

The Red King said the same thing, but why?

For your sake.

Huh?

Incarnation is a power born from the holes within your soul.

The more you use it, the more the darkness of those holes sucks you in.

Darkness?

Remember the Catastrophic Amor you fought?

That curse was born when the first Disaster's will started running wild.

That's why the Kings try to keep the Incarnate System a secret.

Much like Brain Burst itself, there are two sides to the Incarnate System.

Despair lurks within the shadows of hope.

I want to believe in it anyway. In willpower... In the power of wishes.

And in Brain Burst, which saved me.

I see, you're just as Rain said.

Here in Accel World, you're going to—

He's here!

'Kay, he's taken the bait.

Jigsaw will first try to break us up by attacking from a distance, taking you out.

So stay close to me.

S-Sure thing.

That must be his ranged attack, the Wheel Saw.

I couldn't see it at all.

You have to judge its position by the sound it makes.

After we dodge the next one, close in on him immediately.

Don't hesitate! Fly!

Rust Jigsaw.

Think you can escape?! Stop!

What's this?!

Being metallic is a blessing for you.

S-Sorry. Was that another one of his moves?

Steel Saw.

It puts strings of jigsaw blades in the air.

It prevents attackers from closing in while he

attacks from a distance with the round saws.

It's the bane of any melee type.

What can we do?

Give me your finishing move gauge.

Huh?!

Shape Change.

Get on! Quickly!

Wheel Saw!

Your turn!

'Kay!

That's fast, but not as fast as a bullet!

Good job.

Good game.

Get up, we're leaving.

We might be able to spot him now...

The real Rust Jigsaw.

I did quite a number on the right side of his neck.

When that much pain is inflicted, it lingers

on in the real world for a short time.

Look for someone that might fit the bill near the entrance.

Okay!

That's him!

Please stop by our café.

Crow...

I lost him.

So while I was training hard all by myself, you had another date with an older woman.

No, it wasn't like that at all.

And you even went to the sacred battle ground.

That's so unfair. I've always wanted to go there.

Well, what about you? Spending all that time fighting with Niko...

Unfortunately, she only taught me at the very beginning and the end.

After that, she told me to go hunt the Enemy.

Oh, really?

And how did the training go?

"Not nearly good enough to use in a real fight,"

according to her anyway.

But I got the gist of it.

Really? That's good, Taku.

Seems like you did pretty well too for the most part, Haru.

Now it's up to the Matchmaker at the Akihabara BG, I guess.

Let's hope he can get Jigsaw's real identity from the description you gave him.

Yeah. Thanks.

I'll see you tomorrow at school.

This isn't going to be easy after all.

Just hang in there, Chiyu.

I'll release you from his control somehow.

It's time for our big debut, Lime Bell.

Haru!

I heard that Chi teamed up with Nomi and fought in Shinjuku last night.

Accel World

A perfect win record...

That's what my friend in Shinjuku told me.

Once Dusk Taker's gauge was charged and he started flying,

no one could touch him.

It was that bad?

A long-range type with a flying ability and a healer in tow.

He's completely transcended those with the same

level and potential. He's in a class of his own.

Nomi! Damn you!

But the situation might be even worse than we imagined it.

How do you mean?

Haru, deep down we've always thought...

No matter how strong Nomi gets, as soon as our master, Black Lotus, returns,

she'd be able to solve all our problems in one blow.

But...

T-Taku, you don't mean...

You think she'd lose? She'd lose to Nomi?

I don't want to think that way.

But we should plan for the worst case scenario,

and do everything we can before Saturday.

What do you think, Haru?

Yeah...

Do everything we can?

But until we find out how he's hiding his name from the match list,

we can't do anything.

Doesn't look like Pard's gang or the Matchmaker have found anything yet either.

What?

We need to talk!

Oh...

What do you want to talk about?

Are you skipping your club?

Yeah...

Did Nomi tell you to?

What if he did?

Stop it! You shouldn't put Brain Burst ahead of the real world!

Look who's talking, Haru.

I'm not in a school club! And I've never missed homework because of

it!

But you spend all your time...

Forget it. Don't take it so seriously!

It's just a game!

It was amazing, yesterday I went up two levels in just one day.

The spectators in the gallery were saying I might break a record in Brain Burst.

Chiyu...

And I can't even keep count of all the legion invitations I've been getting.

I'm seems like I'm pretty popular all of a sudden...

Chiyu! Stop it! This isn't like you at all!

You're obeying Nomi because of that video, aren't you?

I'm the one who got you into this mess!

Being played by Nomi, letting him find my weakness...

If I lose you too on top of all that...

What would I do?

You just don't get it, Haru.

You don't understand me,

you don't get me at all!{You don't know what I've

been through, man!}{God I hate this anime so much}

Even if my avatar is obeying Nomi in Accel World,

here in the real world, I'm...

I'm in a place where you can touch me if you want to.

And yet even now, you don't understand.

I haven't been stolen away.

I'll do whatever I want to do.

I always have, and I always will!

Whatever you want?

I don't understand, Chiyu, what is it?

But...

Sorry. Please put your clothes back on.

I believe in you.

So please believe in me too.

I won't lose to someone like Nomi.

I'm going to get back everything that was stolen from me.

Bye.

All right, there has to be something I can do.

Think! Think!

Arita Haruyuki.

Think about all the info you've gotten since Nomi appeared.

Every single word, even the slightest thing,

analyze it and figure it out!

That's all that's left for me. My final weapon!

Nomi can't steal everything from me!

There has to be a clue somewhere.

About his secrets, his weaknesses...

Nomi's secret...

Of course, Rust Jigsaw.

If only we could pin him down...

What was that gesture?

I thought he was pushing someone out of the way,

but wait... I know that gesture.

Got it.

He was closing a virtual window.

But he wasn't wearing a neuro-linker!

Another device?

Something separate from a neuro-linker?

I went retro!

Devices that preceded the neuro-linker...

The first VR machine, the Nerve Gear from the 2020s, {SAO

>>> AW, should have stayed with the Nerve Gear}{SAO is equally shit}

but that was only for full dives. The neuro-linker

was the first to integrate with expanded reality.

No, wait...

I think there was another device in between that made expanded reality possible.

Brain Implant Chip The Brain Implant Chip.

That's it.

Nomi, this time I'll definitely end it!

Game over, Nomi Seiji!

Rather, Dusk Taker!

What's that? Do you mean you finally admit total defeat?

"I give up, please stop bullying me?"

No, I mean the game you're playing is over.

Arita, you really are slow on the uptake.

There isn't a single thing you and Mayuzumi can do.

I'll destroy the Black King, and this school...

No, the whole Suginami area will be mine. Just you watch.

I won't allow you to do that.

I know why you're not on the match list.

You have a second VR machine in your head!

An illegal Brain Implant Chip.

The Brain Implant Chip,

a small bio-chip implanted into the cerebrum.

Due to the potential for hacking and cheating in school exams,

its production was discontinued and it was banned only three years after its release.

You use it to connect to the school net

for your classes and your tests.

You only go online with your neuro-linker right before a fight.

That's the reason you don't appear on the match list.

The chip will be found with one scan,

and you'll be expelled.

Then the chip will be deactivated and disabled.

It's all over for you.

I figured you were a pig, but you make an even better rat.

Always scampering and sniffing around.

Then you should've crushed me right away.

You've made an error.

That's true.

So what now?

Your video and my chip...

Are we just going to go to war here in the real world?

Are you forgetting, Nomi?

We're Burst Linkers.

There's a proper way to settle this.

You mean we should fight it out, don't you?

I can't stand it...

Just like I can't stand being called a Burst

Linker. I can't stand that whole mentality!

But if that's what you want, I guess I have no choice.

However, can I make a suggestion?

A suggestion?

I'm sure you'll want us to keep at it

until one of us loses all their points.

Why don't we settle it all in one go?

You like dueling after all, don't you?

In the field with no limits, there's an item

that fighters can use with all their points,

and then it's winner take all.

Let's do this properly.

I see. So that's where we're at.

And I just sent you a list of the conditions

Nomi negotiated afterwards.

What do you think, Taku?

I'd say that accepting his proposal is pretty dangerous.

There's always the danger of an ambush in the field with no limits.

The fact he's allowing me to come is already a red flag.

He'll surely be planning something to increase his chances.

But he said we could change the venue as many times as we want.

That'll make an ambush practically impossible.

That's true.

But only with tons of Burst Points,

or having a whole lot of patience to wait there for days, maybe even months...

Do you think he has any friends willing to do that for him?

If he had friends like that,

Nomi would assuredly be more of a real Burst Linker.

True.

This is a fight between Burst Linkers like

us and those who just accelerate, like Nomi.

We should do it for our self respect and for what we believe in.

Right! Let's duel him then!

Taku.

Let's get this all over with before Snow Black gets back!

It's time!

I held out my hands, yet my dreams were farther

as I looked up to the Heavens and understood nothing

I was looking, yearning for an answer

yet pretended I'd given up caring about it

I used to be alone and had what my future meant down wrong

There's no denying it

All you have is so warm

since all of it is true love and true tenderness

All you think fascinates me

since all of it are true feelings and true strength

I want to tell you of my love

Next time, "Consolidation."

A black flash cuts through despair,

a sign of the strong bond that ties them together.
