Alright guys let’s settle this, now we’ve got one of the most insane matchups in anime here where, Tatsuya Shiba from The Irregular at Magic High School vs Accelerator from A Certain Scientific Railgun. This isn’t just your ordinary raw power vs raw power, it’s more of a tactical battle between two nearly unstoppable forces, we are analyzing what each character could use in his arsenal to beat the other, let’s break this down:
How Tatsuya Shiba Can Beat Accelerator
Firstly Tatsuya does not need to rely on punching through Accelerator’s defences, all he needs to do is delete him from existence to the level which Accelerator might not comprehend.
- Decomposition: Erasing the Blueprint
Tatsuya’s top ability is Decomposition. It breaks down the information that makes up a person and not the physical body but the data that defines it, even for objects.
Why does this matter: Accelerator’s famous vector shields are only effective on things that include force and direction aka VECTORS. Decomposition doesn’t work like that of a bullet or a punch, it just makes the body stop existing at the core level, something Accelerator may not be able to block at all. Tatsuya basically turns you into a 404 error: Not found
Can Accelerator stop it? Probably not. His brain would have to somehow recognize and interfere with this pure information erasure which he has not shown, so for now, Bro’s toast, Just add butter, pour tea and breakfast is served.
- Elemental Sight and Psion Interference
Tatsuya sees and manipulates psions (the building blocks of magic and consciousness)
Why does this matter: Tatsuya might possibly mess up the actual data that Accelerator’s brain uses to calculate Vectors (Gottfried Wilhelm left the group chat). This means manipulating or in better terms scrambling his defence at its source.
Can Accelerator stop it? Probably unlikely. Vector defense does not protect the inner system hacks.
- Smart Fighting
Tatsuya does not rush in, he analyzes striking where it hurts, targeting weaknesses and uses magic in ways enemies will not expect. He could use his major ability ‘Decomposition’ to target Accelerator’s brain, or even totally reshape the battlefield. Afterall who needs a frontal attack when you can just CTRL+Z someone’s skull?
How can Accelerator Beat Tatsuya Shiba
Accelerator doesn’t do fair play, and does not need to. Once he goes full “white-winged angel”? His brain and powers totally reach another level.
- Vector Mastery
Accelerator can reflect almost anything, be it bullets, magic, heat, sound, even blood flow. He has also shown he can handle things like concepts of strange flow of energy.
Why does this matter: Tatsuya’s Decomposition using any kind of ‘Direction or activation path’ might cause a problem for him and won’t be good because Accelerator could possibly detect and reflect it before it hits its target.
Can it Work? If there’s any Vector or motion in that attack from Tatsuya’s Spellcasting, Accelerator could detect it and turn it against Tatsuya just like a Uno reverse card but deadly.
- Environmental overkill
Tatsuya is more of precision while Accelerator is more of chaos, he can use his environment to his advantage, being able to create windstorms, plasma bursts or just crush Tatsuya from all directions.
Also if Accelerator reverses Tatsuya’s blood flow, or fries his brain, Regrowth might not save him. Bro would be toast( it might be him for breakfast menu this time, tea is already boiling ).
- CAD Destruction
Tatsuya Uses CADs (devices) to cast most of his big spells. Accelerator could destroy it instantly with vector sniping, reducing Tatsuya’s power
Why does this matter: No CAD equal to slower magic equal to easier kill (toasted bread and tea, anyone hungry?).
- Mental Warfare
Accelerator is Ruthless, he could start targeting innocent people or playing dirty and that could mess with Tatsuya’s usually calm mind eventually distracting him or making him emotionally stable which might cause him to slip or make mistakes. And in this fight, one slip or a mistake is all it takes. he doesn’t fight clean, but fights like a villain with no bedtime. But if there are no people around, Accelerator won’t be able to do any of that
Key Battles and Feats to Remember
Accelerator vs Aiwass: He Handled a pure information and light being which shows that he is not just dealing with only physical stuff but also can fight conceptually too.
Tatsuya vs Parasites: He beats beings too that take over minds and information too, which gives him experience in non-physical threats too.
Tatsuya’s Regrowth: Even though he is damaged critically, if he has time he can regenerate.
Final Verdict
So at this point it can be said that it all comes down to a question: DOES TATSUYA’S DECOMPOSITION EVER CREATE A VECTOR OR EVEN A CONCEPTUAL ONE?
IF YES: Then Accelerator might have the edge here and would reflect it and win with sheer force
IF NO: Then Tatsuya has the advantage here bypassing everything and just delete Accelerator from reality.
So now, who do you think would win? The Irregular Magician or the One-Winged Demon? Or Uno Reverse or Delete File? You decide.
Key Points
- Tatsuya’s Decomposition doesn’t just break stuff, it erases it on an information level. Think Thanos snap, but with nerdy coding logic.
- He sometimes uses directional psion blasts. If those blasts move like normal projectiles, Accelerator might just yeet them in another direction with a flick.
- Accelerator started off bouncing bullets and ended up manipulating concepts like blood flow and heat. Man basically unlocked the final form of physics.
- Tatsuya’s Elemental Sight lets him see magic as code. He’s the guy who looks at your soul and sees error messages.
- Accelerator’s brain? Forget 5G, he’s working with a processing speed that would shame your laptop and make NASA jealous.
- Tatsuya’s CADs (magic machines) work like custom software. Dude basically hacks reality using USB sticks.
- His Regrowth needs an info backup and takes time. It’s like a magical Ctrl+Z for body damage. Broken, but still got rules.
- Accelerator can twist wind, control heat, and even reroute your blood. He’s what you get when you cross a weather report with a heart surgeon on steroids.
- Break Tatsuya’s CADs and he’s like a coder without Wi-Fi. Still dangerous but now he’s typing with one hand and squinting.
- This fight comes down to one thing: Can Accelerator redirect an attack that isn’t even physical? It’s like trying to punch a thought.
Fun Facts
- Tatsuya’s Material Burst is a nuke without the radiation. It’s like dropping a bomb that only breaks stuff, not laws.
- He’s an engineer with magic, the type who’d fix your Wi-Fi and erase your enemies before you blink.
- Accelerator’s name isn’t just cool, it probably nods to real particle accelerators. Yes, the ones that smash atoms, not fans.
- Tatsuya sees the world in codes. Matrix got nothin’ on this man.
- Accelerator thinks faster than your crush friendzones you. That fast.
- Tatsuya’s Regrowth is magical healing with backup data. Hospitals would cry tears of joy.
- Accelerator once reversed a guy’s blood flow just because. That’s not power, that’s personal.
- Tatsuya uses CADs like a tech bro uses an app. Efficient, cold, and oddly impressive.
- Accelerator makes storms like it’s a mood. Who needs weather forecast when you’re the weather?
- Tatsuya can’t feel emotions properly. Blame it on anime brain mods.
- After brain damage, Accelerator needed Misaka Network support. Basically Google Drive for his brain.
- Both shows treat magic and physics like best friends who skipped class and built the universe.
- Tatsuya’s tactics are like engineers tweaking every screw. Precision warfare with style.
- Accelerator vs beings like Aiwass isn’t just a fight, it’s quantum drama.
- Their creators didn’t just write stories, they basically gave science a cosplay.
