THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Kuroyukihime's provoking his Haruyuki's childhood friend was just to test her? So she checked on her like how she did to him.

Whole level 9-er thing is scary, and it was done by Kuroyukihime. That follows by an attacker attacking her. In order to find about the attacker, Haru needed to find out if his childhood friend, who cares about Haru very much as a childhood friend, is the attacker or not. Suspicious file there ("Back Door")? Is she really the attacker?

Ok this episode was really hard but I have to say they did a good job on fan service for a first in the spoiler
despite being censored I think it's pretty good on Index PAr style of it.

Apart from that, some other comments. About Burst comments. (Trying some other forms of writing that are quick):

First of all HECK YEAH at the following,

A first Hime x Haruyuki hand holding. Haruyuki my man’s blush is nice.

KICK ASS! Check out in the spoiler
Hime is shown betraying her friends. That was never shown in the manga where she does cut off the head of Red. COOL! That’s what I like in anime, more stuff than the manga. Always.

Another good one they did is Hime escaping from a duelist. They foreshadowed he is blue and that he wants Hime’s head.

Lovely childhood depiction in the spoiler
Chiyu is cute in loli form and so are the 2 guys being young in general. I feel old you know. That was also not in the manga. Not the way they showed it. Plus they showed Hime’s True Powers. As you can see she has another persona and you see it in the ED also. However this part confirms it more.

Wow according to 2chan the part in the spoiler
looks like rape. But it’s them who see the situation like that (IMO they are stupid there at least Sankarea had grounds for that) and it looks like it based on Chiyu’s reactions or at least like some first time session. However make no mistake, it’s just Chiyu’s overreactions. In fact it might not be said but in spoiler
Hence why Chiyu reacted like that. Still in the following,

That was close to a cheat of Chiyu but I still liked her reactions. I am sure Takumu is one $%$%^$ lucky guy. Let’s just say with a hot girl that reacts like that? Yeah.

About thee end, I kind of always had a knack for knowing ahead in some anime stuff. I kind of got that they would cut at the spoiler
as a backdoor program is found out.

About preview, CONFESSION! BIG SHIT HAPPENING! In the spoiler
I shall rage and rage at the happening. Better get a punching bag ready. Somehow I have 7 days for that.

Hint: Now who do you think could put it in? Who is closest to Chiyu that could get away with it? That would would know her neurolinker well. Family? Maybe. Friends? Maybe What else? NO SAYING! That’s a spoiler but these questions could give you enough to figure out and be O_O like I was in the manga. PM if you want the answer. It could haunt you till episode 4 or even 5 though.

So yeah it's the part where investigations are happening cause some high level person is after Hime cause of her past. I also think Chiyu's part was better done than in the manga. More comedic and fan service filled. I also though it would be around that part while reading the manga.

BTW Late but it’s done. Image Dump and Image Stitches in the BLOG:

The manga was still much better in that scene thought lol.
Geh it's not that hard to figure out that yourself who put the backdoor, the only way you can do that is have is direct connecting, in this series is direct connecting like lovers or closest friends (trusted).

Is this based on the light novels or the manga, are there even differences between them?
Anyway, the pacing of this is great, serious shit next episode and an awesome fight is awaiting us in episode 5 (and 6?).

Damn, Haru is one hell of an idiot, the tension between Chiyu and Kuroyuki is great. On the one hand Kuroyuki is such a badass girl opposing the other kings and on the other hand she is terribly in love with Haru, how could you not adore her.

I don't remember Chiyu's and Haru's scene in the manga like that but seriously, how could she not notice that Haru was looking for something while they were talking and not ask him.

First time I was hearing the OP and ED and I dont like them, too bad.

One has to wonder why Kuroyukihime was so obsessed to reach level 10. Perhaps a severe case of escapism and trying to strengten her self-esteem by compensating losses in real life with success in a digital network? Her mentioning the ugly form of her avatar last episode seems to hint at some personal issues at least.

Haru is quite clever and was even able to deceive Chiyu while having a highly emotional conversation with her and being distracted by her physical appeals at the same time. Maybe that's the reason why Hime took an interest in him as it's hard to imagine that she is harboring any romantic feelings towards Haru.

Good episode,false alarm.

They are adapting it quite close to the manga that is good.

Kuro telling Haruyuki about her betraying her friends in Burst Link was well done but for me the best of the episode was that they show when she cut red's head.

KURO IS JUST SO BADASS!!AND CUTE!!

The part with Chiyu and Haru was nice but the manga as many say had more something i didnt like they cut but o well.

Also...those faces...

That face can make you think things....yep it did.

At the end they show someone add a link program to Chiyu....I WONDER WHO COULD IT BE??? "SARCASM"

Next episode is going to be intense......just wait just wait.

BTW.....Kuro taking a shower....

Reaching Level 10 is serious business.

There very little differences and so far the anime adds scenes the manga did not have to make things more clear and better.

This arc will be start of a very long Arc of EPIC proportions of Love, Fights and Friendship at risk with the trio involved with Hime. You all in for some amazing shit to say the least.

They made Chiyu's expressions smexier almost to the point she is like saying "It's OK Haruyuki I give you my virginity" kind of like that. The rape stuff is only towards her expression, I don't imply the act. As a matter of fact I think I have seen those faces in hentai so no surprise at that one. Still Chiyu was MOE more than in heat TBH at that part. Just 2chan's IMOs are vexed too much in a perverted manner.

It will be revealed but it's not the reason like you mention. It's far more than that but TBH I find it stupid but at the same interesting to know the end result.

Another good episode; liked when they showed her cutting of Red's head; actually liked the whole fact that Kuroyukihime is a bad ass on the run; has a nice ring to it; slowly trying to break down the order piece by piece; guess i just like rebellion :P; Anyway i don't think Chiyu is one they are looking for; but following that thought then it would be Taku since its not that out there to think that she is helping her boyfriend.

I was surprised to hear Chiyu has a boyfriend, I thought she was interested in Haru. She may well still be after that last scene...

I'm happy that Chiyu and Haru got everything sorted out, the bedroom scene was so cute.

I think I might ship Chiyu with Haru more than Kuroyukihime.

So excited for episode four!

No battle (with an enemy designed in childish manner) and a nice episode.

Although this episode didn't show the detail of Black Lotus - Kuroyukihime's avatar again, you can see it on the official web site. (Also you can confirm it in the OP.) It's not ugly at all as she says, but quite sharp. If it dances ballet, everything around it would be cut off to pieces. I'm looking forward to watching it soon.

You got it backwards, "someone" probably Cyan Blue is using a "Backdoor" to access Her files secretly. That's why Cyan Blue can challange Kuroyukihime without entering the school's Local Network.

It's more than that. He using her neurolinker as means to hide out his identity. It's possible cause all the ID you get from him is Chiyu's stuff.

Hacking the information that Chiyu gets is of only one small option among the many others that he has when he does that. He is also liable of prison. I am sure it's illegal in the set-world to do this.

I honestly think that Chiyu is the Purple King and Taku is the Red King and somehow, Taku hacked admin rights to burst again (chiyu probably helped him since i think she's purple king). He is using Chiyu's backdoor to access the school network and attack Kuroyukihime while they're at school. Chiyu was probably also checking/downloading arita's files and sending it to Taku during their direct link. Conspiracy theories ftw.

Well let us see how the story shall unfold... :D

5/5

So a lot happened. from what i have seen i can conclude that there is a love triangle between the 3 friends. Since the direct link is considered to be used by lovers. prob the backdoor thing is from tue girls bf. the third friend. furthermore. during the bed scene. she said " if you only asked me two years ago" so does that mean that she would have gone out to whoever asked first? Im guessing the other guy asked first lol. i think all ove said is right on the dot

That's right except that Chiyu was still hung on Haruyuki at that time of Takumu's confession. Furthermore Haruyuki did nothing out of fear for the trio's friendship most likely.

From what I gather, it speeds up your neural processing speed by a factor of 1000--very useful to get ahead in the real world (think of the advantages you might have in a sport contest
against people who did not have the burst link program installed. It also allows you to carry out combat in the accel world without stopping dead in the real world. Think of what level you would be in WoW if a five minute real time gaming session was the equivalent of 80+ game hours. The significant advantages that burst linkers enjoy means they want to keep doing it and the mechanics of the program tend to force them into game combat in order to maintain their link.

The only quibble I'd make is that if Chiyu and Taku have been going together two years, that means that they started in Grade 5 right? Somehow these kids seem a little more mature than grade seven and eight students, but maybe that's an artifact of being linked into the net and virtual worlds from birth.

And I can't help but wonder what sex is like when you're totally jacked into and interfacing with your partner's mind. Just that conversation session between Chiyu and Haru was pretty intense.

Not exactly.
When you accelerate, your brain process things 1000 faster. The accel world is a copy of the real world so one can not simply enter brain burst and affect reality while he is in, he will have to get out to do so.
Basically in a sport like, let's say kendo, one would start the brain burst program just before the opponent is starting a strike and would then analyze the situation, stop the brain burst program and then act according to the plan he made while using it.
Brain burst allow you to think and analyze for much longer than you should have, but you still have to do whatever you want in reality. Someone could not play on a computer and rank up in an online game because they couldn't move the mouse or anything for that matter while being in brain burst with the exception of ...
