In A Certain Scientific Railgun S, Accelerator is the overpowered and deadly antagonist that our heroine Misaka tries to stop from killing her tens of thousands of clones, all created from a dark scientific experiment. His ridiculously overpowered abilities (featured in our previous scientific writeup, A Certain Scientific Analysis S) and sinister cackle are so iconic that they’ve even spawned an internet meme—Accelerator’s Whisper, an image macro based on his initial introduction.
In honor of the release of Railgun S Part 2, we’re running a caption contest for this famous scene! One grand prize winner and four runners up will receive a prize pack of Railgun merchandise!
Here are shots of the scene, with the original dialogue:
That’s a pretty creepy and tense scene! But we like to think that the gravity also kind of lends itself to some great parodies. Here are some we loved from around the Internet:

Remember to pre-order A Certain Scientific Railgun S Part 2 today! This set finishes off the Accelerator arc with a definitive ending—Index fans, you may remember this arc, but you’ve never seen it with this much emotion and explosive impact. Be sure to catch the real, full story of the Sisters Project, told from the point-of-view of Misaka, who’s at the center of it all. Also be sure to check out the next arc, an anime original about a brand new character, the adorable Gothic Lolita-clad Febrie!
