“ | I strive for something beyond the strongest, that challenging me would be the most ridiculous thought ever, that fighting me would be a sin! | „ |
~ Accelerator |

“ | I have no interest in being a villain, and I don’t think that I can become a good person. I’m at a halfway point where I’m not even sure which path I should walk down… but I guess even there, I can still interfere in someone’s life and help bring things to a positive conclusion… | „ |
~ Accelerator |

“ | It's ridiculous that a villain who was no better than a piece of shit like me was guarding her! No matter how you think about it something must have been wrong! How could I possibly be a hero! No matter what, I can only choose the blood-stained path! Why do I have to do all these things! If a hero like you had shown up earlier, then something like this mix-up of position wouldn’t have happened! That brat would not had to have suffered as much this way! | „ |
~ Accelerator |

“ | This will eliminate what made you so special. Being the strongest is boring. It’s like a poison that dulls your sense of pain. You only get to see who you truly are once it’s been stripped from you. So I’ll show you, Coronzon. I’ll show you who you are when you’re stripped bare!! | „ |
~ Accelerator prior to ripping Coronzon's soul out |
Summary
The Accelerator is the name used to refer to the 1st-ranked Level 5, the strongest esper currently residing in Academy City.
First appearing chronologically in Toaru Majutsu no Index as an antagonist, he later becomes the second protagonist of the series and primary male protagonist of the Science Side after being defeated by Kamijou Touma. His journey to a more "heroic" role in the story progresses after meeting and saving Last Order, and is forced into an ironic twist of fate where his life now depends on the Sisters, clones he previously killed by the thousands. He is also a major antagonistic character in Toaru Kagaku no Railgun and is the protagonist of Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator.
In his role as a protagonist, he is forced to deal with the cruel Dark Side of Academy City, the secret conspiracies surrounding it, the guilt he carries from the Level 6 Shift experiment and his inner conflict about his status as a villain/hero. As the most powerful esper of Academy City, his existence and powers are tied to the plans of Aleister Crowley, the founder of Academy City, alongside Kamijou Touma.

Attack Potency: At least Wall level physically (can harm Kihara Amata, could clash fists with Kamijou Touma[46]), at least City level, possibly Mountain level with Vector Control (Superior to Misaka Mikoto and Sogiita Gunha, the latter was able to fight with Level 6 Shift Misaka Mikoto), higher with Plasma Storm (His plasma ball is stated to be capable of destroying an underground nuclear shelter[16]), Multi-Continent level (By borrowing the Earth's rotational energy[Statistics Values 1]), Varies with what vectors are available (Will scale depending on the opponent's own durability, via reflecting and multiplying the rebounding/reactionary forces encountered upon contact[47]) | At least Wall level physically, at least City level, possibly Mountain level with Vector Control, higher with Plasma Storm, Multi-Continent level with Earth's Rotational energy,[Statistics Values 1] Varies with what vectors are available | At least Wall level physically (After several battles, Accelerator grew in strength until he was a physical equal with Kamijou Touma[48]), Country level with Vector Control (His attacks could harm Misha Kreutzev and Kazakiri Hyouka[49]), higher with Black Wings (Had so much power flowing throughout the wings that Index was unsure if a Saint could handle it,[50] making him superior to Kanzaki Kaori), even higher with White Wings, Multi-Continent level with Earth's Rotational Energy, Varies with what vectors are available | At least Wall level physically, at least Planet level, likely far higher with Vector Control (Fought Coronzon to a standstill,[51][11] and could destroy Nephthys's body thoroughly albeit her regeneration capabilities and immortality allowed her to outpace his superior destructive capabilities[42]), higher with Black Wings & White Wings, far higher with Platinum Wings (Far stronger than his Black Wings and White Wings), Varies with what vectors are available, Solar System level Environmental Destruction with Galaxy Shaking (Shook the galaxy through a holistic phenomenon[5][45][Statistics Values 2])
Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic (As the strongest Level 5 Esper should be superior to Sogiita Gunha[Statistics Values 3]) | At least Massively Hypersonic (Comparable to before, could keep up with Kakine Teitoku[Statistics Values 3]), Subsonic+ flight speed with Tornado Wings (His Tornado Wings shouldn't be too far in speed from his Post-Awakening key), Sub-Relativistic with Black Wings (As an angel, he should be superior to saints like Kanzaki Kaori[Statistics Values 4]) | Sub-Relativistic (Fought equally with Gabriel and Kazakiri Hyouka[Statistics Values 4]), Subsonic+ flight speed with Tornado Wings (Can fly with his Tornado Wings at speeds that rivals rival the Highway Cheetah, which drives at 750 kph[52]), Hypersonic+ flight speed with White Wings[Statistics Values 5] | At least Sub-Relativistic (Superior to before, fought Coronzon), Subsonic+ flight speed with Tornado Wings, Hypersonic+ flight speed with White Wings[Statistics Values 5]
Lifting Strength: Average Human, Immeasurable via vector control
Striking Strength: At least Wall level physically, at least City level, possibly Mountain level with Vector Control (Can boost his physical attacks using his ability), Varies with what vectors are available (Will scale depending on the opponent's own durability, via reflecting and multiplying the rebounding/reactionary forces encountered upon contact) | At least Wall level physically, at least City level, possibly Mountain level with Vector Control, Varies with what vectors are available (Will scale depending on the opponent's own durability, via reflecting and multiplying the rebounding/reactionary forces encountered upon contact) | At least Wall level physically, Country level with Vector Control, higher with Black Wings, even higher with White Wings | At least Wall level physically, at least Planet level, likely far higher with Vector Control, higher with Black Wings & White Wings, far higher with Platinum Wings, Varies with what vectors are available
Durability: At least Wall level (Withstood several punches from Kamijou Touma) | At least Wall level (While physically weaker then before, he still took several attack from Kihara Amata and could continue getting up from them) | At least Wall level (Survived being launched into a tree with enough strength that the tree snapped in two by an attack from Kakine Teitoku.[53] Took a punch from Kamijou Touma with no issue in Denmark, and was only beaten by him with a surprise attack[54]), at least Country level with Black Wings (Index was unsure if a Saint could handle the power flowing through Accelerator's body[50]), higher with White Wings (Stopped an attack that would have destroyed Eurasia and could bypass his vector shield, but was still left unconscious for a long time and his survival was only due to outside interference weakening the attack at the last second[43][55][56]) | At least Wall level, at least Country level with Black Wings, higher with White Wings, far higher with Platinum Wings (Should be stronger than his White Wings)
Stamina: Superhuman (Can continue to fight after receiving severe injuries, managed to use his powers while unconscious after getting shot in the head to save his life and Yoshikawa's,[57] and also managed to continue attacking Aiwass after being nearly sliced in two by its wings.[58] However, the battery of his choker that lets him use his esper power is limited to 15[59]/30 minutes.[60] This time limit does not apply to his other angelic forms)
Range: Several Meters to Tens of Meters with firearms and standard vector attacks, Hundreds of Meters with Black/White wings (At least 100 meters[43][61]), Kilometers with Air Manipulation (Can manipulate the air across Academy City[62][63]), one Planetary diameter when using the Earth's energy and rotation; Varies with what vector he comes in contact with; Galactic range with Platinum wings
Standard Equipment: None notable | Electrode choker, a modified crutch that lets him block electrical interference which may hinder his choker,[64] a backup handgun | Same as before | Same as before and Aleister's Phone, can remotely summon Qliphah Puzzle 545
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (His intellect exceeds a hundred supercomputers. Accelerator's esper ability has been shown to require complex calculations to function, with him being skilled enough in this field to come up with a new application on the fly during his battle against Touma. He also appears to have a very good memory, as he memorized the codes for Last Order's default mind state and was able to remotely return her to that condition, thus erasing the virus planted into her by Amai Ao. Later, he also starts to display well-thought out strategies in battle, like when he was able to take out the Hound Dogs using guns, which he utilized for the first time against them, along with exploiting his immediate environment and psychological tactics to his advantage, without using his esper ability. Even with less than half of his calculation ability,[65] it is great enough to allow Accelerator to calculate and analyze all the 25,000 different kinds of energy of Kakine Teitoku's Dark Matter was emitting at once[66] and updating his ability in order to reflect them, while fighting on par with Kakine and protecting the bystanders.[66][67] Unknown with Platinum wings. Likely has tremendous amount of knowledge about the occult to an exponential degree via the third tree.[42] Has access to all of Academy City's resources and databases with the authority as the Board Chairman)
Weaknesses: Overconfident and sadistic; tends to stand around and willingly allow attacks to reach him due to having never suffered defeat before in his life[62] | The electrode which lets him use his powers only has 15[59]/30 minutes of battery,[60] and utilizing magic spells can result in grievous injuries if not properly protected against with vector control[45][68][69][43][70][71] | Same as before, rational thought processes can potentially be overwritten by uncontrollable blood-lust | Same as "Post-Headshot"
Notable Attacks/Techniques: | |
Accelerator (一方通行 Akuserarēta , lit. "One-Way Road"): The unique Esper ability of the strongest Level 5, also used by Accelerator as his name since he has forgotten his original name. Known as Vector Transformation (ベクトル変換 Bekutoru Henkan ), Vector Change or Vector Conversion, it creates a thin field of AIM around him, which allows him to modify the vector values of anything he touches. It allows him to manipulate all kinds of physical vectors, from those related to kinetic energy to ones related to heat and electricity.[72] It is initially limited to attacks that work using the regular physical laws, but through the use of Accelerator's massive intellect and calculating prowess, he has been able to incorporate vectors that were unknown to him and worked under different laws like Kakine's Dark Matter, magic, or Telesma into his equations. The nature of a Personal Reality allows an esper to enforce their own internal system of laws onto the world, and the process of doing so entails observing and controlling the microscopic possibilities within the quantum level.[73]
