Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Faced with a Gang of Bullies in a chubby body, Haruyuki Arita, a shy seventh-grade teenager at Umesato Junior High School, finds escape from reality into a cyberspace world maintained by the school. He loses himself in a virtual squash game no one else plays and holds all of its high scores. Until the day he finds his own scores topped by somebody else by a considerable amount of points.This sets up Haruyuki into an encounter with "Kuroyukihime", an enigmatic eighth-grader, School Idol and the Student Council Vice-President of Umesato Junior High — the girl who topped his squash scores — and offers him the opportunity to learn how to "accelerate to a faster world". The "Brain Burst" program, downloaded directly to a neuro-link attached to the bottom of the skull, allows a person to make time appear to stand still by "accelerating" their brainwaves; this can often be used as Hyper-Awareness, letting its users make decisions and strategies in seconds that normally take minutes. Unfortunately, there is a limit to how many times a person can accelerate. People with Brain Burst take Burst Points (BP) needed for acceleration from others by winning in a Fighting Game. The only way to avoid being challenged is to not be connected to the same network, which, in a world where constant network connection is the norm, requires being very careful and a lot of willpower.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Once in the game, Haruyuki turns into Silver Crow, and, in gratitude for bringing him into this world, decides to use his abilities to complete Kuroyukihime's goal: reach Level 10 of Brain Burst to meet its creator and discover its true purpose. The catch is that this requires defeating the current leaders of the game: six other Level 9 players (aside from Kuroyukihime) who have led the world for over two years and will do anything to maintain the status quo because one loss at Level 9 means Brain Burst will permanently uninstall itself from the loser, while reaching the endgame at Level 10 could potentially cause all players to lose Brain Burst forever.Accel World is an ongoing 2009 Light Novel series written by Sword Art Online creator Reki Kawahara, published by ASCII Media Works and serialized in Dengeki Bunko, with illustrations by HiMA. It has a manga adaptation, illustrated by Hiroyuki Aigamo, in print since 2010, as well as two spinoffs: Axel World, a 2010 yonkoma series illustrated by Ryuryuu Akari, and Accel World / Dural: Magisa Garden, a 2012 story illustrated by Ayato Sasakura focusing on the younger sister of a deceased member of Kuroyukihime's guild, Nega Nebulus.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })A 2-cour anime adaptation produced by Sunrise aired during the Spring 2012 Anime season and has been licensed for streaming by Viz Media.The light novels and manga adaptation have been licensed by Yen Press for a Western release. While the first couple of light novels have earned a very mixed response from American critics as for the Japanese, the series has attained much more positive attention from them over time.

Bloodless Carnage
 Accel World / int_135b9977
comment
Bloodless Carnage: Justified in that it's a game and they apparently didn't want to animate realistic blood from the fighters. Apparently, in Accel World's future, there aren't any more violent video games, which is why Haru's collection of old video games is hidden away like a Porn Stash. Averted in the real world though when people are hurt they bleed. However, there is very little physical violence in the real world, and it's not taken to unrealistic levels.

Tempting Fate: Cyan Pile does it by telling Silver Crow in their duel to use his special power, to mock Silver Crow's comparatively low strength. And then Silver Crow activates his power for the first time, turning the tables in just one attack.

Give Geeks a Chance: The relationship between Haru and Kuroyukihime is that of the School Idol and a pudgy nobody. It's an unusual example in that Kuroyukihime was the one smitten by Haru instead of the inverse, and the School Idol is arguably more of a geek.

David Versus Goliath
 Accel World / int_1b3b48f3
comment
David Versus Goliath: Silver Crow vs Cyan Pile, level 1 vs level 4. The Red King (the best long-range lv 9) vs. Silver Crow (lv 4). Early on there is also Silver Crow vs Ash Roller. Twice. (complete newbie vs level 1, then level 1 rematch vs a newly minted level 2). In the Light Novels it's mentioned many times that unless you invest your Level Up Bonus there is almost no difference between levels. Thus, a level 1 can match a level 3 as long as their combat skills are roughly the same, and there's almost no difference between level 4 and 5. However, those in the upper brass (level 7 and above) have far more combat experience and are specialized, making it a stretch to defeat them. Thus we have for example... Silver Crow (Level 5) vs. Black Lotus (Level 9). Of course, Silver Crow's goal isn't to win, but to restore Lotus's fighting spirit, and he succeeds. Silver Crow (Level 5) vs. Iron Pound (Level 7) Silver Crow (Level 5) vs. Argon Array (Level 8) Reversed with Silver Crow (Level 5) vs. Wolfram Cerebus (Level 1). Downplayed with Silver Crow, Cyan Pile, Lime Bell and Blood Leopard (the former three are Level 5, and the latter is Level 8) vs. Black Vise, Argon Array and Wolfram Cerebus (the former two are Level 8 and the latter is now Level 5). The protagonists technically have a higher combined level (23 vs 21), but the narration points out that Cerberus is an unusually strong Level 5, so the antagonists have the advantage.

Green-Eyed Monster: Kuroyukihime does not appreciate the closeness that Haruyuki and Chiyuri share. Not that Haruyuki could understand that until someone flat out told him she was jealous. Even then he was confused and he literally looked up the word. Haruyuki and Chiyuri's relationship is a sore point with Taku as well. In a variation, it's also indicated that he believes that if he doesn't go out with Chiyuri, she'll spend the rest of her life taking care of Haru. Chiyuri is jealous that Kuroyukihime and Haruyuki had a direct connection, and that Kuroyukihime made more progress in helping Haru soon after they met than Chiyuri did in months. She does, however, approve of Haru becoming Kuroyukihime's boyfriend if it means they'll have a more equal relationship. After Kuroyukihime lost her connection cable which she used to connect with Haruyuki, she bought the shortest one she could find. Supposedly because she didn't have money for a longer one, but it's very probable that she did so because she was jealous about Haruyuki connecting with Chiyuri through an even shorter cable. Also she gets jealous when Scarlet Rain spends the night in Haruyuki's apartment, thus causing her to sleep over as well.

comment
Hollywood Hacking: Subverted. Even in a society as advanced as the one in this series, hacking can involve surprisingly mundane methods. In Volume 1, Taku abuses Chiyu's trust in him to install a backdoor program on her Neurolinker without her realizing it, while in Volume 3, Taku unwittingly transmits a virus to Haru's neurolinker, since Haru doesn't realize that the file size for the attached photo of Noumi's older brother is larger than it should be until it's too late.

Older Than They Look
 Accel World / int_2f36d97
comment
Older Than They Look / The Slow Path: Even though the oldest Burst Linker's physical age is limited to 15 years or younger, time passes faster in-game at 17 minutes for every 1 real second, or six weeks for every 1 real hour, making those who spend more time there much older mentally. Also, the main benefit of Burst Points in the real world is to slow down time. So it's anyone's guess as to how old the earliest players really are.

Kick the Son of a Bitch
 Accel World / int_32768814
comment
Kick the Son of a Bitch: Seiji Noumi's Freudian Excuse involves him being bullied for years by his older brother, Yuichi, such as being forced to give up his Brain Burst points to him. Eventually, after acquiring his special ability, Seiji lured Yuichi into a trap, and repeatedly killed his Duel Avatar until he lost all his points and was forced off Brain Burst, sadistically enjoying it all the while. While Seiji becomes just as bad as his brother, it's hard to argue that Yuichi didn't deserve this. Taku, using the forbidden and corrupting power of the ISS kit, shows off his newfound strength by winning a Curb-Stomp Battle against four members of Supernova Remnant, a PK guild that uses immoral and ruthless methods to erase their targets from Brain Burst for money, and forcing them off Brain Burst for good. Sky Raker once threw a PKer into the territory of a particularly powerful Enemy, resulting in them being killed repeatedly until they lost all points. It's a fairly vicious thing to do, but considering that the PKers are threats to players' real life well-being, she doesn't feel bad about it.

Crapsaccharine World: The setting of Accel World is a futuristic society with many seemingly wonderful advances in technology, but the Neurolinkers essentially enable Parental Neglect, and even an advanced network of security cameras doesn't keep the world entirely safe. Brain Burst is also like this, as it's a ruthless struggle for survival, where people desperately cling to their points and often do very unethical things to earn them.

Blessed with Suck
 Accel World / int_3c3f28a5
comment
Blessed with Suck: When Haru becomes the 6th Generation Chrome Disaster. However, each subsequent generation from the first seems to be easier to defeat. It should be noted that during the first Disaster, there were NO level 9s. So each new generation being "easier" to defeat only meant that everybody else was becoming stronger. Also keep in mind that the previous Chrome Disasters were far more badass before being possessed. First Chrome Disaster had pseudo-teleportation and was really pissed. Second had possessed a dragon-like Duel Avatar with the ability to breathe flames. Third was a sword saint with skills second only to Blue Knight's. Fourth took a while to take down. Then came the fifth whose color is a mix between red and yellow, meaning he had low defense and poor melee damage. The Disaster makes you strong, but not invincible. Then came Silver Crow as the 6th Chrome Disaster, who was weaker in terms of raw power because he did not give into insanity, yet better overall because he had a semblance of control and rationality allowing him to match elite Linkers like Iron Pound in 1 on 1.

As for Haruyuki, he realizes that Chiyuri isn't very good at video games or lying, so the idea of her secretly being a Burst Linker is ridiculous, especially considering that Cyan Pile is Level 4. Likewise, he realizes that there are other reasons for her hostility toward Kuroyukihime, and he's right that Chiyuri is jealous about Kuroyukihime succeeding in helping him. He also manages to find out that Chiyuri isn't a Burst Linker, even if Kuroyukihime is skeptical of his claims.

We Have Become Complacent: Kuroyukihime accuses the Kings and the Burst Linkers as a whole of this trope, calling them fakes. Part of her desire to become level 10 is to get rid of the "false tranquility" that she considers their peace treaty and pull the Accelerated World out of stagnation.

Personality Powers
 Accel World / int_4bf3d8d7
comment
Personality Powers: Each Burst Linker's inner traumas determine the type of Duel Avatar they would obtain. Thus, the loneliest person in the world gets the most powerful Duel Avatar. Silver Crow's wings were derived from Haruyuki's desire to become faster than anyone else so he could fly out of his problems, namely bullies and his physical appearance. The Red King Scarlet Rain is currently the best long-range type avatar in the Accelerated World. Niko, being afraid of the world, prefers to keep distance from everything she fears that would hurt her the more she gets close to it, giving her an avatar designed for long-range combat, and true enough, she invested all of her points on strengthening its long-ranged attacks. Despite being designed for close range combat, Cyan Pile's weapon is best suited for long range combat. That's because Taku desires revenge towards his Kendo club seniors who bullied him way back from third to fifth grade. Lime Bell is currently the third known healer-type avatar in the Accelerated World. Although what it actually does is reversing a Duel Avatar's personal time to the point of non-injury. This stemmed from Chiyu's desire to go back in time to the point when she, Haru, and Taku were together as kids.

Power Perversion Potential: There is some mischief one can get into using Brain Burst, but slowing down time to look up a girl's skirt is specifically mentioned not to work, unless it's been seen by your eyes or a camera. Taku when he used a virus to spy on his girlfriend's sight and hearing. Haruyuki does not mess with it because that might alert Cyan Pile that he knows, although Taku later admits to seeing Haru snooping around.

We Used to Be Friends: Taku, a.k.a. Cyan Pile, and Haruyuki. It's indicated that while Haru distanced himself from Chiyu and Taku out of a desire to not be pitied, Taku grew to hate Haru, thinking of him as nothing more than a burden on Chiyu. Their friendship gets rekindled after their fight. Kuroyukihime and Fuko. Interestingly enough, there aren't any hard feelings between them- they feel guilty, instead of blaming each other.

Not What It Looks Like: Unintentionally invoked. When Haru and Taku talk on a bus ride about Chiyu's apparent removal of their relationship from the two guys in the previous episode, Taku becomes excessively dramatic about the situation since he loves Chiyu. However, since they are talking privately and since none of the other riders know about the context, the majority take this as Ho Yay. It does not help that the lines spoken afterwards make this even more Ho Yay. It also looks like all the girls in the bus want that supposed kiss to happen.

The localization of the light novel omits honorifics, including "senpai". As a result of that, when Wolfram Cerberus' third personality calls Silver Crow "Arita-senpai," (which is what Noumi had called Haru), it's a bit harder to recognize that's something only Noumi would say.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: In the anime, Sky Raker calls Black Lotus her Only Friend, which contradicts later revelations that Raker was close with the other Elements of Nega Nebulus, and had a Friendly Rivalry with Blood Leopard. The novel has Raker make the more accurate observation that she'd driven her other friends away with her obsession, and Black Lotus was the only one who understood her desire to fly.

Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario: Portrayed realistically. When two friends part on bad terms, there will be no shortage of awkwardness if they get together years later, even if they don't necessarily hate each other. It takes Kuroyukihime and Sky Raker until the end of Volume 5 to fully reconcile, despite having reunited at the end of the previous volume, and that reconciliation is largely triggered by Sky Raker regaining her legs, thereby undoing the cause of their rift.

Late-Arrival Spoiler: There are several in Infinite Burst. Sky Raker, Ardor Maiden and Aqua Current rejoined Nega Nebulus, showing that the Legion was able to save the latter two from the Four Gods. As for Sky Raker, while she did start to reconcile with Kuroyukihime at the end of the anime, she doesn't officially rejoin until Volume 5, after recovering her legs, something that Infinite Burst spoils. The initial Territories battle spoils that Prominence merged with Nega Nebulus. The film makes no secret of the fact that Ash Roller is actually a girl, whose Duel Avatar has her older brother's personality inside, something that was hinted at in the anime but not shown outright. At the climax, Silver Crow gets assistance from Metatron, a Legend-class enemy he'd fought against with his allies.

Dub-Induced Plot Hole: The localization of the light novel omits honorifics, including "senpai". As a result of that, when Wolfram Cerberus' third personality calls Silver Crow "Arita-senpai," (which is what Noumi had called Haru), it's a bit harder to recognize that's something only Noumi would say. The dub of the anime has Taku say that Seiji Nomi's older brother Yuichi is three years older than Taku. That would make him about 16 at the start of the series, too old to be a Burst Linker. While the light novel also says Yuichi is three years older than the trio, it also mentions that he is just barely young enough to fit the criterion for being a Burst Linker.

Oddly Small Organization
 Accel World / int_6f059863
comment
Oddly Small Organization: The Legion Nega Nebulus declares war against the rest of the Accel players and vows to reach level 10. It has four people in it thus far. It will, however, have slightly more members in the future, most of them with high levels, very rare abilities or avatars of unique design, like Aqua Current or Graphite Edge. Note that the original Nega Nebulus was much bigger; it's obvious that when Kuroyukihime decides to revive the Legion, part of her plans involve reuniting with Sky Raker, and freeing the three remaining Elements from their captivity. It's not a stretch to think that eventually, the old members who didn't join another legion will ask to come back and be welcomed. Nor is it a stretch that Nega Negulus might have a slew of applications for membership, that haven't been background-checked and sorted through yet because of a) the very slow timeline (thanks to Burst linking, half a book's worth of action can take place in an hour IRL) and b) they've pretty much been reeling from crisis to crisis for most of the series.

Offscreen Breakup
 Accel World / int_6fc52cc4
comment
Offscreen Break Up: The novels have Takumu saying, at the start of the second arc, that he and Chiyuri have broken up. The anime omits this line, but keeps Haruyuki asking Takumu during third arc whether he wants to be Chiyu's boyfriend again. As a result, when and why they broke up isn't as clear in the anime, although it can be inferred that it happened when Taku confessed to installing that backdoor on Chiyu's Neuro-Linker, a massive invasion of privacy.

Once More, with Clarity!: In Episode 14, Haru tries to follow Nomi into the showers, but ends up going into the girls' showers instead; the blue sign points left and the pink sign points right. After Chiyu finds him, he insists that he checked the signs, and they're shown from his perspective, with the pink sign pointing left and the blue sign pointing right.

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: You can have a basic idea of what strengths your opponent has by the color included in their user name. The closer to a "pure" color, the more focus is given on a particular fighting style. The "kings" of the game are pure blue, red, yellow, green, purple, white, and black. Haru's avatar is silver, and his fighting style is centered on his unique ability to fly.

Godlike Gamer: Virtually all Burst Linkers are this to an extent, as to even qualify to play Brain Burst requires specific parameters to be met. But among the community, the seven Kings are regarded as the best of the best being the only level-nine players in the game. One of said Kings is female protagonist, Kuroyukihime/Black Lotus. Played with in regards to The Protagonist Haruyuki/Silver Crow, while he at first seemed like your run-of-the-mill newbie with Crippling Overspecialization that made him a Fragile Speedster, but then he's revealed to have natural talent and learns how to activate his wings (implied to be an Incarnate Skill which is very difficult to master), making him one of the few who can fly and as a result one of the most dangerous Burst Linkers alive.

Dysfunction Junction: It's indicated that since one's duel avatar's abilities are born from one's personal trauma, and (according to Kuroyukihime), parents are using the Neurolinkers as a substitute for spending time with their kids, it thus follows that most of them are not well-adjusted people. Chrome Falcon while becoming Chrome Disaster, is appalled that people who were tormented in real life would become bullies themselves in Brain Burst.

Bullet Time: An ability granted to all Burst Players. By spending burst points, one can speed up their thoughts in the real world so that a few seconds in real time take as long as 30 minutes. Normally, one cannot move during this period, and the program uses Social Cameras and the brain's memory to extrapolate their surroundings; but this does give a distinct advantage to tests, stock market choices, strategies, etc. (Which is why most players don't want to finish the game.)

comment
Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Physical Full Burst, which lets players move their physical bodies at high speed, at the cost of 99% of their Burst Points. Incarnation attacks count as well. They're so secret the players are not supposed to realize the technique even exists without external assistance. The reason for their status as this trope is because an incarnation technique gone wrong is what gave birth to the Chrome Disaster; hence the Kings' unwritten rules banning first-use except in self-defense against another user.

Karmic Death: Dusk Taker "dies" in the exact same way he "killed" his own older brother: outsmarted by somebody he thought was under his control, overpowered, and left whimpering and begging for his life before finally losing his last Burst Point. However, there's also an element of Hoist by His Own Petard, because whereas Dusk Taker's brother had to be killed over and over again to deplete his points, Dusk Taker arranged for the fight against Silver Crow and Cyan Pile to be "sudden death", meaning one death would be enough to completely drain the loser's points. Of course, Dusk Taker never imagined he could lose the fight.

Absurdly High-Stakes Game: Not quite. Burst Linkers are granted special abilities in the real world, powered by Burst Points taken from defeated foes, but anyone who ends up with zero points is banned from the game and has all memories related to it erased, which may or not may be a good thing depending on whatever experiences you had there. Stakes are higher in "all points in" fights like those between Level 9 players.

Fetish: Kuroyukihime seemed worried that Haruyuki might check out her legs during their first use of Brain Burst. After Haruyuki grabs Niko's ankles (her heel in the anime) to keep her from kicking him, she accuses him of "fooling around" with her feet. This becomes a Running Gag later on. He later actually does develop a fetish for feet.

Mood Whiplash: Episode 9 of the anime ends with Kuroyukihime and Niko(aka Scarlet Rain) becoming Vitriolic Best Buds, resulting in some cute and funny moments between the two. As Haru sees the two fast asleep together, he then remembers something Taku said earlier that episode- that the two, being Kings who seek to become Level 10, will inevitably fight to the death, and the episode ends on an ominous note. In Infinite Burst, Haru starts on a heartwarming speech about how Brain Burst changed his life for the better and he's confident that everyone will remain friends in real life, only to be interrupted by Kuroyukihime repeatedly calling out his name. He then realizes, after a moment, that his hand is on her butt, much to his embarrassment. It then turns out that it isn't what Kuroyukihime wanted to tell him about, but she forgot what she was going to say.

comment
Parental Neglect: When Kuroyukihime is in the hospital after she was hit by Araya's car her parents never show up. Instead they sent over a lawyer, and you know that makes everything better. This also counts as Foreshadowing for Kuroykuihime's tangled and tragic family history, which won't show up for another 10 books or so. Not to mention Haruyuki; as of LN 14 his mother has had roughly three lines during very quick one scene... in the entire series. One of the reasons that Haru's apartment is the legion HQ is that his mother's weird work schedule means she sleeps during school hours and is out all the others. But given the amount of girls Haru's had sleeping over (usually in her bed) you'd think his mother would suspect something is going on. In fact, at one point Kuroyukihime states outright that parental neglect is the norm for Burst Linkers. You need to have worn a Neurolinker for almost all your life, and the normal reason for that was that your parents used the Neurolinker as a babysitter, instead of actually spending time with you as an infant.

Year Inside, Hour Outside
 Accel World / int_a62dca03
comment
Year Inside, Hour Outside: The Unlimited Neutral Field enables Burst Linkers over level 4 to Accelerate for an unlimited amount of time. Haruyuki calculates that since one second in the real world is equal to seventeen minutes of Acceleration, a full day of real time spent in the Unlimited Neutral Field would equal three years. Taku and Kuroyukihime advise him not to spend overly large amounts of time inside the Field, saying that doing so would cause him to become increasingly disconnected from the real world since while his body doesn't age from the months of memories, his mind and soul do.

Only Known by Their Nickname
 Accel World / int_a7850fbf
comment
Only Known by Their Nickname: Kuroyukihime (Princess Snow Black). Even after she tells Haruyuki her name and tells him to call her by name from that point (the readers don't get to hear the name), he doesn't use it because it's embarrassing to. However, both Sky Raker/Fuuko and her student council friend Megumi call her 'Sachi', which has led to some interesting fan theories. On a broader level most Burst Linkers know each other only through Brain Burst and thus know each other only by their duel Avatar names. Niko in particular, only refers to people by their Duel Avatar names, even when she knows their real identities.

"Hell, Yes!" Moment
 Accel World / int_a8238745
comment
"Hell, Yes!" Moment: In the anime finale, Haruyuki and Chiyuri have a big one when Noumi's wings unexpectedly disappear and Silver Crow unexpectedly starts to float without the Gale Thruster being on. What actually happened is that Chiyu's healing ability actually rewinds time and she not only managed to level it up enough to undo Dusk Taker's stealing of Silver Crow's wings but waited until the opportune moment in the battle where both combatants are in the air before backstabbing Noumi, sending him plummeting down like a rock and enabling Haru to utterly obliterate the now helpless Dusk Taker with a single attack.

 Accel World / int_a939d96a
comment
Adults Are Useless: Twice over. First off Haruyuki was unable to tell adults about his bullying, so none of them interceded. Secondly no adult can Accelerate because one has to have the link installed since birth and the technology only came out around 15 years ago so the oldest persons who can accelerate are 15.

Red Baron
 Accel World / int_ab2df806
comment
Red Baron: Everyone goes by a nickname in Brain Burst and protecting your identity is rule number one. Burst Linkers can also get separate titles as well, such as how Blue Knight is sometimes called "Legend Slayer" due to his ability to solo Legendary monsters, and how Sky Raker is called "ICBM" because her role in territory battles is equivalent of being a strategic weapon of mass destruction. Blue Knight gets another one. "Vanquish". And Black Lotus gets the ominous "World End", hinting at her ambitious desire to reach level 10, no matter what that may due to the status quo of Brain Burst's society. Sky Raker is also called "Icarus" because she was the only Duel Avatar who came the closest to ever fly, until Silver Crow, the first flying Duel Avatar, came along. Haruyuki is an odd case for not fitting this trope despite being famous enough in the Accelerated World to earn such a title, probably because the name Iron Crow describes him so well and became a household name so quickly. Even the relative newcomer, Lime Bell gets the moniker "Time Witch".

When Wolfram Cerberus III calls him that, it's proof that he has Dusk Taker's personality and abilities.

Both Sides Have a Point
 Accel World / int_c02f148d
comment
Both Sides Have a Point: In the first volume, there's the dispute between Haru and Kuroyukihime over whether Chiyu is Cyan Pile. While Haruyuki is ultimately right that it isn't Chiyuri, Kuroyukihime has legitimate reasons for suspecting Chiyuri, considering that the Burst Linker challenged Kuroyukihime while she was connected to her school's intranet, and Chiyuri goes to Kuroyukihime and Haruyuki's school. It later turns out that the culprit used a backdoor program in Chiyuri's Neurolinker, but since Haruyuki was unable to obtain evidence of the program's existence, Kuroyukihime realizes that he could be lying to protect his friend. Kuroyukihime also notices Chiyuri's hostility toward her, and while Haruyuki claims Chiyuri's jealous of their closeness, Kuroyukihime points out that it doesn't make sense, since Chiyuri has a boyfriend. As for Haruyuki, he realizes that Chiyuri isn't very good at video games or lying, so the idea of her secretly being a Burst Linker is ridiculous, especially considering that Cyan Pile is Level 4. Likewise, he realizes that there are other reasons for her hostility toward Kuroyukihime, and he's right that Chiyuri is jealous about Kuroyukihime succeeding in helping him. He also manages to find out that Chiyuri isn't a Burst Linker, even if Kuroyukihime is skeptical of his claims.

Character Level: Pretty much like any RPG style manga. Brain Burst's level cap is 10, but no one has achieved that cap, since it requires reaching Level 9 and defeating five other Burst Linkers of the same level. Few Burst Linkers have reached the higher levels, and even getting up to Level 4 is a significant accomplishment.

Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe
 Accel World / int_c5594984
comment
Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe: Probably at least partly justified given how such a large percentage of Japan's population lives in or around Tokyo but still rather dramatic. Tokyo has hundreds of Burst Linkers divided into seven Legions fighting over virtual territory, points and prestige. Okinawa has three and one of them is from Tokyo originally. Another possible justification: you need to be physically link up to pass on and install Brain Burst, and you only have one chance to do so. Thus everyone who has Brain Burst got it due to them living in Tokyo and knowing another Brain Burst user living in Tokyo, and chances are high the "children" are on very friendly terms with the "parents". Case in point: the two non-"imported" Okinawa Burst Linkers and their relationship with each other and their "parent". Not to mention the age limit: Burst Link appears to be a very new program with steep entry requirements (including the link-from-birth requirement) and a poor distribution model (one time only face-to-face, except if the Parent is one of the Originators). It is likely that the program is only just starting to spread from Tokyo, although it's also suggested that the creators of Brain Burst have no desire for there to be more than a thousand Burst Linkers at any one time.

Seiji Noumi's Freudian Excuse involves him being bullied for years by his older brother, Yuichi, such as being forced to give up his Brain Burst points to him. Eventually, after acquiring his special ability, Seiji lured Yuichi into a trap, and repeatedly killed his Duel Avatar until he lost all his points and was forced off Brain Burst, sadistically enjoying it all the while. While Seiji becomes just as bad as his brother, it's hard to argue that Yuichi didn't deserve this.

Incarnation attacks count as well. They're so secret the players are not supposed to realize the technique even exists without external assistance. The reason for their status as this trope is because an incarnation technique gone wrong is what gave birth to the Chrome Disaster; hence the Kings' unwritten rules banning first-use except in self-defense against another user.

"Eureka!" Moment: Haruyuki figures out who Cyan Pile is by noticing that Taku has been acting strangely, and realizing he's the only one who could have installed a backdoor program on Chiyu's Neurolinker. In Episode 6 of the anime, Taku realizes that he'll need to find some way to help Haru get his points back that doesn't involve Taku giving them to him. As Chiyu insists that Taku and Haru help her finish the flavors of ice cream she had them buy her, Taku sees a "Choco Bouncer" flavor, and realizes Haru can hire "the bouncer."

Spider-Man Send-Up: Haru is a meek, fat nerdy kid who's a magnet for bullies... until he gains access to the Cyberspace world of Brain Burst. There he gains a double life as Silver Crow, where he experiences the joy of zooming through the air (accompanied in the Animated Adaptation by soaring orchestral music). While his wings are unique they're far from a Story-Breaker Power, and his biggest asset in combat is said to be his bottomless reserves of Heroic Spirit lurking beneath the surface. And then he gets infected by a Clingy Costume which slowly grows in influence and threatens to turn him into an insane berserker, but can be rendered inert temporarily by the sound of bells and permanently by sacred fire.

Fighting Back Is Wrong
 Accel World / int_d260f885
comment
Fighting Back Is Wrong: A reconstructed example occurs when Kuroyukihime is introducing Haru to Acceleration (essentially a mental time stop). After encountering Araya yet again, Kuroyukihime responds by taunting the former, and Haru Accelerates for the first time with Araya's fist an inch away from his face. He initially suggests that he could use his new abilities to dodge the punch and fight back, but Kuroyukihime has Haru roll with the punch and knock over her table, then she slams herself into a wall and plays dead (complete with blood). Since they're surrounded by witnesses and security cameras, this results in Araya's expulsion. Punching the guy, i.e. fighting, is not the answer, but doing something to punish the bullying is definitely okay. Unfortunately, this comes back to haunt Kuroyukihime when Araya is released on bail and tries to kill both Kuroyukihime and Haru with his car, ultimately leading to Araya's second arrest.

What the Hell, Hero?
 Accel World / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero?: Haru and Taku's argument after Haru loses his wings to Dusk Taker is a double example of this. Taku, having noticed that Chiyu is upset and that Haru is avoiding her for some reason (but not about the aforementioned event) angrily calls Haru out on how Haru is treating her. Haru, meanwhile, criticizes Taku for unwittingly sending him a virus in a file that was too large to be a simple image. Chrome Falcon mentally delivers one to all Burst Linkers, asking why people who are bullied and rejected in real life would do the same thing to their fellow players. In volume 9, Haruyuki does this to Green Grande and Iron Pound in Volume 9, angrily asking them why, if they consider themselves enemies of the Acceleration Research Society, they did nothing while people using the Society's ISS kits were beating up and repeatedly killing two members of their legion nearby. Also from the same volume, Kuroyukihime also gives Haru one, not for giving in to Chrome Disaster, but for even considering disappearing and leaving his friends behind, when he'd never abandoned any of them.

Training from Hell
 Accel World / int_d66cd0e6
comment
Training from Hell: Haruyuki develops a training program involving him to dodge bullets... from a virtual revolver shooting at his pig avatar from a few meters away. When it started it would randomly fire at him at him sometime within 30 minutes of starting, so not only would he have to dodge, he would have to be able to focus on the gun for up to 30 minutes waiting for the bullet. He also programmed the bullets to inflict the maximum amount of pain it could, so it would feel like he was actually getting shot, giving him an incentive to dodge. He then added to this by downloading an illegal app that disables the feature that would cause the Neuro-Linker to automatically disconnect him when he felt such immense pain, in order to do it at as many times as possible. And he did this all of his own volition in order to learn how to dodge better. Kuroyukihime isn't happy when she learns that he's been taking things this far. And then there's the Incarnate System training for both Haruyuki and Taku. Sky Raker pushes Haruyuki off a very, VERY tall tower and makes him climb back up, while Niko just shoots lots and lots of missiles at Taku.

 Accel World / int_d782bd52
comment
Equivalent Exchange: The way Brain Burst works, with points being transferred from the loser to the winner in a zero-sum exchange, spent every time the user uses Brain Burst, and only being gained by defeating Enemies results in a rather unsustainable model. Because of this, Green Grande donates his points to cards and feeds them to Enemies in hopes that players will fight the enemies and win points, for the long-term goal of preventing Brain Burst from collapsing like its sister projects.

Episode 9 of the anime ends with Kuroyukihime and Niko(aka Scarlet Rain) becoming Vitriolic Best Buds, resulting in some cute and funny moments between the two. As Haru sees the two fast asleep together, he then remembers something Taku said earlier that episode- that the two, being Kings who seek to become Level 10, will inevitably fight to the death, and the episode ends on an ominous note.

The dub of the anime has Taku say that Seiji Nomi's older brother Yuichi is three years older than Taku. That would make him about 16 at the start of the series, too old to be a Burst Linker. While the light novel also says Yuichi is three years older than the trio, it also mentions that he is just barely young enough to fit the criterion for being a Burst Linker.

Barbaric Bully: Araya is this, actually threatening Haru with the "Pork Bun Punishment" if the latter doesn't follow through with his threats, and the "Pork Roast Punishment" if Haru reports it to the school's staff. Given his last act in the series was to attempt to run both Haruyuki and Kuroyukihime over with his car before his second arrest, one can only assume how serious those previous threats were.

Cumbersome Claws: This is something Kuroyukihimi laments about her Brain Burst avatar. Focused around attack, Black Rose's hands are swords, completely incapable of anything but cutting her opponents to ribbons. She's unable to shake hands, clap friends on the back, or even casually hug people unlike the vast majority of other avatars, including those also infused by the black color. This actually extends from her hidden fear that she herself is incapable of doing anything but causing harm to those she loves, manifested by the Accelerated World's programming.

comment
Hate Sink: Noumi, is a member of the Acceleration Research Society, who are implied to be the main antagonists of the series, but Noumi seems to be fairly low-ranking. He does, however, prove to be a thoroughly unpleasant Smug Snake who blackmails Haru into gathering points for him and having Haru's friend Chiyu become his tag partner unaware that Chiyu is planning on betraying him and returning Haru's wings. He does have a Freudian Excuse (although since the same goes for most Burst Linkers, it doesn't say much)- Seiji's older brother bullied him, and forced him to give points to Yuichi (like Yuichi does with his victims), until Seiji unlocked his ability and brutally erased his brother from Brain Burst- but given that Seiji took sadistic pleasure in doing so, it doesn't inspire much sympathy. The closest Haru, who was bullied himself, gets to sympathizing with Noumi is saying that they might have been friends if Noumi had approached him and his companions as another Burst Linker. Araya is also shown to be a despicable character, which is especially driven home when he not only harasses Haru and steals his lunch money, but also when he tries to kill both Kuroyukihime and Haru in retaliation for getting him expelled and arrested.

Theme Naming
 Accel World / int_fd94c4ac
comment
Theme Naming: Nicknames of players are generated by the system, which always start with a keyword related to a color or a kind of material. A few key characters are named after famous cards in Magic: The Gathering. Kuroyukihime herself is named after the top card of the Power Nine - Black Lotus. The key villain of the story is named Black Vise, and there is a player named Ivory Tower whose intentions have not been revealed yet. An interesting fact is that the cards Black Vise and Ivory Tower are exact counterparts of each other. Black Vise is both an alternative form as well as an alias of Ivory tower. The chapters of the Accel World Dural manga are all named after cards in Magic: The Gathering - and if it's not a card name, it's a significant line of text from a card, like "Absolutely Removed from the Freaking Game Forever".
