And the point of the scene with the nametags was to establish that she, or someone she knows, has the ability to change the content of the nametags, something which is supposed to be impossible to do for people who didn't make them. It is worth noting that every other character had their ''names'' on the nametags, both their first and last names; she instead only had her nickname (that being "Kuroyukihime") and with there only being that with nothing that could be her last name, we can be certain that it is not what was originally on the nametag. Although there is a possibility of her nickname being created by mixing the ideograms from both her first and last names, in a similar way to how Kirito from ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' did it (but using entire ideograms instead of single syllables), but again it doesn't give us enough info (the only standard spelling gives us the name "Setsuki" then, but that's a dead end because she'd be called "Se-chan" then, and non-standard spellings can be many and varied).\\

** It appears that Sky Raker was in [[spoiler:Kuroyukihime's]] legion. As we know, legion masters have special powers over their soldiers, able to execute them regardless of how many Burst Points they have. It is therefore logical to assume that [[spoiler:Kuroyukihime]] used a variant of this power to annihilate only a part of Sky Raker's body, [[spoiler:on Sky Raker's specific request, as shown in the series]].

*** People that are too fat, too thin, or too hideous have unique emotional problems that only they can have, thus in the AW Universe, they gain Duel Avatars with unique abilities depending on what kind of emotional scars they have. If the MC was thin and lanky like Taku, then his emotional problem becomes much easier to solve because they don't have the burden of having problems with personal appearance asides from whatever else they have, and he would get a BoringButPractical ability, and LightNovel/AccelWorld simply becomes just another anime fighter.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


*** Really? One of your old high school classmates had a head twice the size of a everybody else? Seriously, Haru's skeletal structure downright is absurd. [[UncannyValley It's like he's another species.]] I think that's what ticked most people off. It didn't bother me that much, but it could be improved.

Hollywood Nerd has been disambig'd and is no longer a trope.


** First, [[Tropers/{{Judasmartel}} as a bullying victim like Haru]] ([[HollywoodNerd but for a different reason]]), I could tell you that recovering from bullying is '''''not that easy''''', even if you have the most awesome support system in existence. It takes time, and you do '''NOT''' expect Haru to become super-confident in three seconds '''''flat'''''. That breaks WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief.

**** Yeah, this is quite obviously the real answer imo. I can probably think of a few likable fat anime characters. Basically people just don't like Haru because compared to the rest of the characters, he has an ArtStyleDissonance thing going on and to be honest, he just looks rather {{Gonk}}. If he was less cartoony looking I'm pretty sure no one else would complain as much.

*** It later turns out that Green Grande has been fighting high-level Enemies, transferring the points he won onto cards, feeding the cards to lower-level Enemies and letting players kill them to get a point bonus. His goal is to prevent Brain Burst from suffering the same fate as its sister games.

** Thanks. I just thought that they simply wanted a tall-and-lanky MC which, quite honestly, is getting old. I also like Haruyuki as a character, if only because he's apparently going the [[GurrenLagann Simon]] [[TookALevelInBadass path]].

* Okay, so here's something. We know from the very first episode/chapter of the series that the neurolinkers have a safety function that automatically yanks the user out of a full dive if something happens to their real bodies (the light novels seem to say this sensitivity can be set as high as someone coming within a meter of you to as low as a crazy girl with no sense of boundaries rapping her knuckles on your head). Similarly, when Kuroyukihime used the "physical full burst" command to save Haruyuki from Araya's attempt to murder him, his own neurolinker canceled out the brain burst program and yanked him back to the real world when she shoved him. But, what happens in the cast of the Unlimited Neutral Field? Supposedly the only way to log out once you've dove in there is to find an exit portal, but would the neurolinker's safety protocols be able to do it too? What would be the effect of someone finding your body and removing the neurolinker while you're in the field? Do you get yanked back to your real body, or does your mind become trapped in the Accelerated World, leaving you a vegetable until you can again log out?

*** Actually we do hear more jabs and japes shot at him. Remember just before Cyan Pile challenged Dusk Taker and Haru was having to run laps? His classmates were still referring to him as a pig and suggesting he'd make better time rolling around the track. Not to mention how quickly everyone turned on him when Nomi leaked his name as the probable culprit to putting the video camera in the girls' showers. Do you honestly think they'd have been so quick to jump down his throat if his looks were more normalized?

And Nico does take pot shots at his weight the second time they meet up, she just does it in a more teasing manner rather than a nasty way. And in her case, it could be argued that someone who already recognizes their own traumatic shortcomings might be disinclined to go full tilt over another's who they consider a friend.
