The White King
White Cosmos
White Cosmos/Enju Kuroba
Voiced by: Mayumi Yoshida (Japanese)
The White King and legion master of Oscillatory Universe.
- Aloof Big Sister: To Kuroyukihime. Even thought they were on better terms before she manipulated Kuroyukihime into killing the Red King, she still refused to allow her own sister to join her Legion. After Kuroyukihime started on Brain Burst, her sister stopped bathing with her.
- Big Bad: She is the head of the Acceleration Research Society — the one that included the likes of Seiji Noumi.
- Broken Pedestal: To Kuroyukihime. It's indicated that she once held her in high regard, and they had a close relationship that facilitated White Cosmos becoming Kuroyukihime's parent, but after being manipulated and betrayed, Kuroyukihime is incredibly bitter.
- Cain and Abel: She's Kuroyukihime's older sister and her worst enemy who tricked her into beheading Red Rider.
- Cool Chair: Her design in spinoffs depicts her with an Enhanced Armament in the form of a floating throne which carries her around.
- Deal with the Devil: Book 25 implies that her ability to revive the Virtual Ghosts of players no longer in the game is not an extension of her healing abilities, but something she gained by contracting with a powerful sapient Enemy.
- Didn't See That Coming: Her plan to manipulate Kuroyukihime into killing Red Rider goes off without a hitch until Red Rider's gun ends up in Kuroyukihime's inventory, causing her to realize that his gift was harmless and that she'd been tricked.
- Good Powers, Bad People: One of the very few healers in Brain Burst, the others being Lime Bell/Chiyu and one other person who quit the game. Her ability "Resurrection by Compassion" makes dead avatars come back to life... whether they want to or not. She uses this for torture.
- Healing Hands: She's one of the three healing types in Brain Burst, apart from Chiyu and an unnamed third person.
- Invisible to Normals: One of her special abilities allows her to become invisible to everybody except for other Level 9 players.
- Light Is Not Good: Despite being a white colored avatar, she is not a person you would call good. Given that she is the head of the Acceleration Research Society, and contributed to the death of Saffron Blossom resurrecting her over and over as she was killed and devoured.
- Manipulative Bitch:
- Kuroyukihime suspects that White Cosmos has been manipulating her for years, and reveals that she didn't want Haruyuki to meet (or hear too much about) her out of fear that White Cosmos would also manipulate him.
- She also manages to manipulate Megumi(Orchid Oracle) into doing her bidding by falsely promising to restore Saffron Blossom to Brain Burst, even though 1)Saffron Blossom is most likely dead in real life, and 2)White Cosmos was responsible for the incident in which Saffron Blossom and Chrome Falcon were forced into an unlimited EK, resulting in the former losing Brain Burst and the latter becoming Chrome Disaster.
- In book 25 she gives an Expo Dump that's filled with baffling and unfinished statements, casual drops of top-secret information she should have no way of knowing, and a number of apparent contradictions. The protagonists conclude that she's likely spilling Half Truths in an attempt to deceive them or make them hungry for answers only she can provide.
-
Marth Debuted in "Smash Bros.": While her duel avatar is obscured in the main story, it received a design in the videogame Peak of Acceleration, which was reused in Accel World Vs Sword Art Online. She would eventually receive an illustration in book 25, with a completely different design. - The Medic: One of the three known healer-type avatars in the Accelerated World.
- Necromancer: She has the ability to reanimate defeated Burst Linker avatars.
- Phosphor-Essence: On the rare occasions her avatar is seen, it's wrapped in a veil of light that obscures its true shape.
- Red Baron: Known by the title "Transient Eternity".
- She Is the King: One of the female Kings of the Accelerated World.
- Virtual Ghost: Her ability to resurrect dead Duel Avatars works even when the player behind them is no longer capable of returning to the game.
- Walking Spoiler: It's impossible to mention that she's anything other than the White King without spoiling a great deal about Kuroyukihime's backstory.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Upon realizing that her sister manipulated her, Kuroyukihime attacked White Cosmos in real life with a box cutter, injuring her. White Cosmos then decided to make the injury look worse than it actually was, resulting in Kuroyukihime getting thrown out of the house.
Executive Branch: Seven Dwarves
Glacier Behemoth (7th seat: "Sneezy")
Glacier Behemoth/Rio Koshimizu
Introduced in book 20. A level 8 Burst Linker with one of the largest avatars in Brain Burst, standing at about 5 meters tall.
- Beware My Stinger Tail: Equipped with a powerful spiky tail which can take out multiple targets in a single swing.
- Breath Weapon: His "Sigh of Cocytus" grants him the ability to freeze things by breathing on them, which can extend to a 20-meter cloud if he blows hard enough. Despite being a normal attack which doesn't even require meter, its effects are so dramatic that Petit Paquet mistake it for an Incarnate technique.
- Freeze Ray: His "Congeal Ray" special attack, fired from one of the horns on his head, inflicts both damage and a freezing effect.
- Gentle Giant: One of the members in charge of training new players, and despite his scary appearance is noted for his gentle approach.
- Healing Factor: His icy armor repairs damage over time, which he can accelerate by breathing on damaged areas.
- In a Single Bound: Capable of leaping with surprising agility.
- Literally Shattered Lives: A favoured combat tactic. He makes his entrance by doing this to an entire building (one which Petit Paquet had previously thought indestructible, at that)
- Mundane Utility: Can use his blue "Congeal Ray" and red "Dissolve Ray" as signal flares to communicate with his allies.
- Red Baron: "Habakkuk", after a British plan to create a colossal aircraft carrier out of sawdust-imbued ice
, which could theoretically be repaired just by pouring seawater on it. - Smarter Than You Look: A dignified, congenial sort, who describes himself as the most gentlemanly of the Seven Dwarves. Given his appearance, however, his opponents tend to be surprised he can even talk.
- Worm Sign: His arrival is preceded by clouds of rolling fog.
Cypress Reaper (6th seat)
Cypress Reaper/Airi Sagisu
A scythe-wielding avatar in a tattered cloak.
- Samus Is a Girl: One of the rare cases where we see Reaper's real life self before her avatar and turns out contrary to belief, Reaper is a female.
- Close-Range Combatant: Described as focusing mostly on melee.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Despite her terrifying appearance she's one of the members in charge of training newbies, and is generally regarded as a solid, understanding teacher.
- The Grim Reaper: Her avatar's theme.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Both parts of the name "Cypress Reaper" are associated with death. Haru's teammates almost bust a gut laughing at how badly he fails to notice this, first confusing "Reaper" with "Leaper" and then asking if he's some kind of lumberjack.
- Sinister Scythe: As the name implies.
Ivory Tower (4th seat)
Ivory Tower
The leader of the Seven Dwarves, who serves as the White King's representative during the Kings' meetings. He is also Black Vise, second-in-command of the Acceleration Research Society.
- Anti-Magic: His Incarnate technique Imaginary Time can cancel out other Incarnate techniques.
- Cover-Blowing Superpower: In book 21 he is forced to switch to his Black Vise form in order to defend against a surprise attack from Pard's Bloodshed Cannon. The end of the book reveals that Chocolate Puppeteer was recording him when this happened.
- Dual Mode Unit: His alter ego "Black Vise" has a completely different set of abilities from his normal form.
- In the Hood: His head is a "tower" resembling a capirote, giving the impression of a priest or someone hiding their appearance.
- Lean and Mean: His dual avatar has an elongated head and slender clawed arms.
- Mouth of Sauron: As the White King herself is never seen, Ivory Tower is authorised to speak on her behalf.
- The Nondescript: His "data pressure" is lower than the other Kings' attendants, and even his voice is described as "featureless, communicating nothing but the fact that he was probably male". Strangely, according to Metatron the actual amount of data in his avatar is very high, implying that he has some way of concealing his presence.
- Perception Filter: His Incarnate technique Undercover allows him to make himself and other Duel Avatars imperceptible, even preventing their names from showing up in the UI.
- Slow and Steady Wins the Race: A personal philosophy of his, as he outlines in book 22:"Quick and slipshod before slow and careful. [...] It's an old saying. It means that if your work is skillful but measured, it will inevitably fall short of sloppy but fast. I've always though that this admonishment did not apply in the Accelerated World, where time is very nearly infinite. I believed you could take as much time as you wanted, that it was best to proceed slowly so that you made no omissions or blunders. [...] Heh-heh, you're as impatient as ever. I have been nothing but exasperated by your quick-and-dirty way, but this incident has made me realise that just as the saying has it, quick and dirty can beat slow and methodical in the Accelerated World as well. Aah, it is a delight and a surprise that there is still something for me to learn after so much time has passed here."
Rose Milady (3rd seat: "Grumpy")
Tsubomi Koshika/Rose Milady
Introduced in book 21. One of the eleven Children of Saffron Blossom, who was taken in by the White Legion after her death.- Embarrassing First Name: She dislikes her given name "Tsubomi" (meaning "bud"), and prefers that Kuroyukihime and Haru address her by her surname instead.
- Green Thumb: Her abilities relate to controlling plants. Such as "Ornate Skewering", which entangles the opponent in red vines and then extends thorns into their body.
- In-Universe Nickname: Orchid Oracle calls her "Rosie".
- Irony: She serves the White Legion because she believes that White Cosmos can bring her Parent back to life, unaware that Cosmos is responsible for her death in the first place.
- The Nicknamer: She is one of the few besides Sky Raker who calls Silver Crow "Corvus" (karasu-san).
- Noble Demon: Despite working for the White Legion, she is genuinely friendly towards the protagonists and tries to talk them out of getting hurt by fighting her powerful teammates.
- Older Than They Look: Around the same age as Kuroyukihime, but looks like she could be in elementary school. This is particularly jarring for people who know her as Rose Milady, whose mature bearing leads people to overestimate her age.
- Random Effect Spell: Her Incarnate technique Secret Garden produces roses that bloom in a random colour, each with different effects. Red roses use thorns to inflict physical damage, Yellow electrocute the target, and Blue have an unknown effect. Milady mentions in book 23 that getting a colour other than these three would be bad, though she doesn't clarify whether it's bad in general or just in her current situation.
- Retractable Weapon: She's capable of retracting the thorns on her avatar's body. Given his experience with Black Lotus (whose blade limbs were a manifestation of her personality that could only be overcome by lengthy Incarnate training), Haru suspects that this isn't as simple as it looks.
- Seers: Her "Flower Divination" technique spawns some petals which fly off in the direction of something she currently needs. In normal duels this guides her to things like weapons or vehicles, but while in the Unlimited Neutral Field she was able to use it to locate Orchid Oracle's imprisoned mind.
- The Tragic Rose: Her avatar's main theme.
Snow Fairy (2nd seat: "Sleepy")
Snow Fairy/Nanako Yuholt
Introduced in book 21, of which she is the title character.- An Ice Person: Most of her abilities relate to creating snow and ice.
- Beyond the Impossible: Capable of accelerating to the Highest Level without assistance from a Being, which Metatron claims should be impossible.
- This is later shown to be possible by other characters such as Cosmos and eventually even Haru himself, albeit with great difficulty.
- But Not Too Foreign: Volume 26 reveals she is actually only one-eight Japanese, because her parents are from Sweden with her mother being one-fourth Japanese but considering the conditions of playing Brain Burst she's likely lived in Japan most if not all of her life.
- Necessary Drawback:
- Her Brinicle's ice tornado is incredibly powerful, but also incredibly slow.
- Her Great Growler Incarnate technique freezes her in a block of ice with durability to put the Green King to shame... but she can't turn it off, effectively removing her from the fight until someone takes the time to whittle it down and free her.
- Poke in the Third Eye: When Haru and Metatron accelerate to the Highest Level during the Territory Battle, she impossibly notices them observing her (something Haru compares to a videogame character noticing the player), shows up on the Highest Level herself and attempts to sever Metatron's connection to Haru.
- Powerful, but Inaccurate: The ultimate form of her Brinacle Incarnate technique causes an ice tornado to slowly descend from the sky. While trivially easy to avoid, it deals outrageously high damage to immobilized targets (enough to One-Hit Kill multiple level 8 duel avatars at the same time).
- Snow Means Cold: The area of her snow Incarnation is filled with intense cold which can flash-freeze things passing through it and renders fire attacks useless.
- Weather Manipulation: Her Brinicle Incarnate technique causes snow to fall from the sky in an enormous area.
Platinum Cavalier (1st seat: "Bashful")
Platinum Cavalier/Tomochika Kyoubu
"In the Accelerated World, hopeful calculations are always betrayed... No matter how you imagine the worst, the result is always worse, sadder, emptier..."
Introduced in book 22. The strongest attacker in the White Legion.- Close-Range Combatant: Described as lacking any form of long-range attacks.
- This is later proven somewhat false in Volume 26 as he was able to copy Crow's long-range Incarnate, Laser Lance.
- Dramatic Ellipsis: Makes heavy use of these in his speech, described as "let[ting] the last word of each sentence linger in the air".
- Knight in Shining Armor: His avatar's theme, outdoing even Blue Knight in sheer knightliness.
- Light Is Not Good: Despite his heroic appearance, he works for the antagonists and seems to be rather cynical.
- And in Volume 26, Haru learns that the man is quite literally empty on the inside, showing a massive lack of self in the knight
- Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Carries a kite shield which he can expand into a massive pentagon-shaped barrier, though he uses this technique very rarely.
- Master Swordsman: His personal "Femto" style is one of the most famous in the accelerated world.
- Pegasus: Rides a tamed Enemy with the appearance of a winged White Stallion (implied to be the same species as the Hellish Horse ridden by Black Lotus in the Dusk Taker arc). Book 25 reveals that he calls it Arion.
- Not So Similar: At first glance, he shares a lot of traits with Haru. Down to a undying loyalty to their master, and even their colors being nearly the same which is saying something in Brain Burst where your avatar traits is determined by your scars. But while Haru cares for his comrades almost as much as Kuroyukihime, Cavalier seems to only think about Cosmos's will and will do anything he can to enact it, whether she is aware or not.
- Platinum Makes Everything Shinier: The greatest of noble metals, to go with the greatest member of the Seven Dwarves.
- Respected by the Respected: Sky Raker normally makes Crow swear never to escalate to Incarnate techniques unless the opponent uses Incarnate first. On realising that "Basher" is present, however, she panics and starts preparing Incarnate immediately.
Other Burst Linkers
Shadow Cloaker
Shadow Cloaker
A Ninja-themed blue avatar who debuts in book 21.- Casting a Shadow: His Shadow Lurker technique, taught to him by his "master" Black Vise, lets him enter and travel through shadows.
- Fragile Speedster: Has below-average armor, but is nimble enough to tail a flying Silver Crow.
- Kiai: Yells things like "Nin!" and "Zan!" as he attacks.
- Ninja: Most of his avatar's abilities can be summed up as "being a ninja".
- Reverse Grip: He holds his ninja-to in this way.
- Shadow Pin: His Incarnate technique Shadow Tying lets him immobilise enemies by tossing a shuriken at their shadow. He's skilled enough to use it without calling an attack name or emitting enough Overlay for the opponent to get suspicious.
- Strange-Syntax Speaker: "Inevitable, that knowledge. Thus determined, those persons shall find total loss here."
(SPOILER CHARACTER)
Megumi Wakamiya/Orchid Oracle
Kuroyukihime's best friend from real life, as well as a former Burst Linker. Her memories of the Accelerated World are restored, and she's convinced to help the White Legion in order to restore her parent, Saffron Blossom. For her other tropes, see Accel World Other Burst Linkers.
