Well considering I really like Mikoto this was a pretty nice arc to watch. Just shows how bad people can get to create tens of thousands of Mikoto clones and then have them brutally slaughtered. The desire to reach a new frontier in a level 6 completely blinded them to what they were doing. Making a lunatic like Accelerator even stronger is like signing your own death warrant. Had to be horrible for Mikoto to know what was happening and not having the power to do anything about it. She worked so hard to reach level 5 but that doesn’t mean she can overcome anything. Honestly like her and Touma together especially before the memory loss. She’s an interesting character so not hard to like her.
Maybe the one thing I didn’t like from the arc was how the fight ended. Accelerator seemed to drop his brain off between the last two episodes. Instead of just crushing Touma from long range he continually charged in for failed direct attacks. Of course its honestly strange how Touma could even dodge high speed punches no matter how bad at street fighting Accelerator was. Suppose you can say that Accelerator likes to finish directly and his failures made him stop using his head. Still was hoping for a better win by Touma than just having his opponent become an idiot.
Overall it was a fine arc. Got to meet many clones of Mikoto and let her blast Touma around with electricity. Moving into the next arc I just hope she stays fairly involved.

the bottom-half of the fight was pretty disappointing as you pointed out. I guess Accelerator just couldn’t adapt to his touch not working against somebody. If he kept using projectiles attacks then Touma would have stood no chance, so Accelerator had to slip a bit for Touma to win… but yeah Accelerator just didn’t get the point and ran into Touma’s fist until he got KOed.
