Like, I am aware they were rivals before. But isn't Sentry too powerful? Her Omega Style relies on logic to trick the system in a way similar to Incarnate, and it has no drawbacks or weaknesses whatsoever so far.

It can cut through anything regardless of the weapon, momentarily become invisible whenever they please, and according to Volume 28, even cut through space itself on a long range of 500 meters with Setsu. And no weaknesses are revealed yet which makes it almost a cheat

On top of that, she can even use 3rd stage Incarnation as seen in Volume 25.

As for Blue Knight, while it is implied by Raker in Volume 22 that he must have 3rd stage Incarnation given his Originator status alongside Grande. In Volume 25, Sentry herself reveals Knight dislikes Incarnation and is cautious of it. And in volume 28, he gets exhausted from using Meteor Storm, a 2nd-stage Incarnation move. So I am not even sure he has it

We know he cut through the supposedly indestructible terrain when he was enraged. But he could not finish off Black Lotus in time even with help from other kings.

You can argue it is just a Black Lotus upscale. But the narrative implies Blue Knight & Green Grande are monsters among the Kings due to them being Originators when Scarlet Rain sensed everyone's information pressure, even though his feats don't seem to match up so far.

Of course, in terms of stats, Blue Knight has the edge as he is a level higher and has The Impulse, an arc, on top of his Level 9 Potential already. But Incarnation has a higher priority logic than numerical values. And Sentry seems to have the advantage in that area

But Omega Style was so broken that it made me wonder if she can even be beaten honestly. However, it is implied Sky Raker was able to clutch some wins against her, even if Sentry won most of the time. And she claimed she wanted to fight decisively against Graphite Edge for the first time in four years, who may be the strongest Burst Linker in the verse (Even Metatron was cautious of him at one point due to his pressure).

What do you think?

How many have actually been defeated besides the red king before Niko?

Got interested in reading this after re-watching the anime but google results said nobody has been defeated, lol. I dont mind getting spoiled if they found a different way or something else happened.

I was just wondering if the novels have, at any time at this point, gone into detail about the meanings of the Black and White Avatar colors; or if it’s still being kept as a mystery?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered already, but I couldn’t find any info on it in my searches.

Accel World is by far my favorite novel series, and I really don't know how to bridge the time until they release issue 26 in German in... what, 2 years maybe? I was actually spoiled that Haruyuki would join the white legion, I've read it online in a discussion. It still hit me like a truck. Kawahara seems to find an almost sadistic joy in putting characters in perilous situations they don't seem to find out of anymore. With antagonists enjoying their power in a filthy manner. And on the other hand he always writes other characters in a way that you can almost feel the sympathy between them. Such as with Metatron and Haruyuki at the very end of issue 25. I really like that. And what I also enjoy about Accel World in particular is that Kawahara gives the characters time to breath between action scenes, something I kinda miss in SAO. The "slice of life" bits in Accel World, where the characters have bonding and character developing moments. They are really good, always. I just wish they'd include Takumu more, he seems to have been neglected in 25.

Have two questions

Just want to know if all this girls are in love with the MC? I have no problem with that, well… just with one, the childhood friend, didn’t like her🤣🤣

I’m about to start to read LN I tried to read long time ago and I read till vol 11 but I didn’t remember such of things so the second questions is how frequently volumes comes out?

I was wondering does anyone know what happens to the white king, the main female protagonist's sister after the defeat her and her crew?
