Accelerator's Disturbing Backstory Explained

[@rogue8903]

Accelerator's past is a proof that early childhood development is very essential in building the character of someone. If you want to build something out of a child, you should hone them while they're still young.

[@navynarupan8979]

Accel's backstory would have been a really good premise/story arc to cover for the Accel Manga, but instead we got an okay Necromancer Arc and the awful Nectar Arc. I guess the mystery of his past life will remain a secret until GT covers it (or never).

[@pierocolombo2643]

They will cover it, background stories of the relevant (and even non relevant) characters has been one of Kamachis strong points in this series. Stories like NT11 or Biohacker do really well. 😂now i hope im alive by the time he covers them

[@tenchimuyo69]

Nectar Arc actually made me sick to my stomach at times. Literally the best part of Accelerator manga was the last chapter where it showed Accel's perspective of the Tree Diagram Remnant arc. Which brought back good memories of how Railgun's Sisters arc was. I know a spinoff probably shouldn't just rehash old arcs from a side character's perspective too often but it is something I think they should do every now and then and I quite enjoyed it.

[@ferds6990]

It's incredibly tragic to see accelerator being loathed at, disgusted and used your entire life along with being experimented on by his own teacher to the point he probably forgot his real name.

[@Oueenazolatigressgina]

Now I seriously wish Accelerator met Kiyama Harumi, both of them have witnessed their own horrors in the dark side, so they would get along very well

[@kamijounotouma5596]

Accel would probably treat l her the same as Yomikawa tbh.

[@selfmadery]

Please someone write this.. I long for it

[@tvckerwash]

I'd would love to learn more about accelerator's past, but I doubt we'd ever get anything much more in depth as that's actually a real psychological response to trauma. many victims of long term childhood abuse can't remember much-if any-of their childhoods due to dissocation or depersonalization in order to protect themselves. accelerator very likey wasn't mentally "present" for a majority of his childhood, as when you're trapped in an inescapable traumatic environment for years, you will be "missing" years worth of memories, or rather it can be described as there being a thick wall of fog that can't be seen through, or a door that can never be opened. going off of kamijou's own development involving his memory loss, accelerator probably won't ever recover those memories-and that's probably for the best considering what we do know. recovering or reopening lost memories from a traumatic childhood isn't necessarily the goal, nor will it necessarily allow accelerator to overcome that trauma. the best thing for accelerator right now would be for him to be able to recognize himself as a victim, acknowledge that he did not deserve that treatment, and most importantly: that he is more than his trauma, and that he is more than the actions he took and the behaviors that he developed a result of that trauma. a lot of the people who have criticized accelerator's actions in ot, and now his actions in gt don't seem to realize that accelerator is taking these actions and making these choices because that is how his trauma has conditioned him to think. he's a monster, but it's *his* power that caused this, it's *his* fault this happened, it's *his* responsibility. and no one has had the heart to tell accelerator otherwise. literally everyone, even last order-as wonderful as she has been for accelerator-actively encourages and enables accelerator to continue the above thinking. taking responsibility is good-but not when it becomes an unhealthy coping mechanism like it has for accelerator.

[@kamijounotouma5596]

One of the OP edgy char that actually has depths other than just "lol Anti-Hero goes brrr". Yeah. One of my fav char in Index no doubt. If not the most. (I always flip between Accel and Touma lol. On the other hand, I like Touma's character more and bring more hype, but he flip flop sometimes especially in the recent Novels and have a few annoying moments. And on the other, Accel has the most balanced char development in Index, but he has less screentime and relevancy than Touma, making it kinda hard to side with him all the time). Anyway. Great video about the albino. Both Touma and Accel has dark past, but it never really brought up much. (Mostly because Touma doesn't remember his and Accel doesnt care about it now).

[@iamnowhere5678]

I feel like the spiky haired boy that Accel met as a child was infact Touma, like imagine if their childhood was connected in someway that would absolutely blow my mind.

Thank you for making this video! Accelerator is my favorite character and i think that his backstory does a lot to make him and his development more interesting and compelling. I'd love it for the series to give us more information on him, but i'm afraid we won't, since it's not too important for the story overall. It's both intriguing and a bit dissatisfying when the backstory is so minimal. Keep up the good work, your channel is absolutely the best for the Toaru universe in my opinion.

[@AeonofHorus]

No problem, and thank you for the very kind words!

[@stevieveringus3857]

Going into GT, I crave for an Accelerator volume where he has to deal with something related to his childhood. In that way, we can also learn about his backstory completely. NT: I wonder what Salome meant by his real name being "cute". It was said to have no real meaning to it.

[@kamijounotouma5596]

The "It has no real meaning to it" is usually what writer saying of "Don't pay attention to it until it become relevant,."

[@Thex-W.I.T.C.H.-xMaster]

Accelerator would of eventually became a “stable level 6” had he defeated Touma or Misaka would of possibly gave her life which was her original plan before Touma interfered. If you watch the Railgun Season version of the sisters fight between Accelerator and Touma. Touma got knocked out for a while and Misaka jumped in everyone thought he was dead. If she had of fought Accelerator she would of dead on purpose like her original plan called for 🤔. They showed Touma get knocked down by Accelerator in the Index version of the sisters fight, but the Railgun version is much more better and shows Touma bleed as hell after he gets knocked out by Accelerator. If you want to see the best version of the Sisters Ark in anime form it’s going to be the Railgun version 🙂.

[@AeonofHorus]

Actually Accelerator would have never become a Level 6 this way, it was stated in the novel that the entire experiment was a lie and excuse to spread the remaining Misaka Sisters to Academy City institutes across the world and to manifest the Misaka Network.

[@Thex-W.I.T.C.H.-xMaster]

@@AeonofHorus Now that you mentioned it. I have heard about that before. About the real plans for the sisters. But it's not in the anime yet so maybe that will be revealed soon. Accelerator was still the only one they said could theoretically get to a "stable level 6". But that doesn't mean others couldn't of been a "stable level 6" BEFORE him if he ever made it to a level 6. AND one more thing they never say anything about the past level 5's so who is to say that there hasn't been a level 6 before now.

A good way to “save” the horrible series they made about Accelerator… you know A Certain Scientific Accelerator… would be to discuss his past his origins. ACSA was crap the anime style isn’t good, but they could turn things around with a better story. I’d be all for them doing an “Origins Ark” and make it exclusive to the Accelerator Manga if it still exists 🤔😑🤷…... Then turn it into an anime off that 🤔. It might safe it. But I’m not sure if it would be used in that way they’d probably start it in the main Index LN first and add it into the anime A Certain Magical Index 🤷. They are probably already working on the MUCH better Mental Out story right now.

This hits home for me. I've been in this situation myself. Blood and death. There's a reason I chose self isolation in the past. Now it's different. The truth is it's ok to be a monster. I was such an idiot. More then that I let other people know it's ok to be. It gets results. I'm dangerous, that's how I can protect. I treat every conflict the same way Accelerator saves Misaka Worst. The very name itself is showing you something. To accept people at their worst. If you discard others, you end up discarding yourself. Hating others is self hate. The same can also be said for love. It's all projection. Reflection. Accel is a metaphor for "self projection". That we are what we reflect.
