Operation Handcuffs Arc
Around the time that Operation Handcuffs was initiated, late on Christmas Day, news of Accelerator announcing his appointment before turning himself in and confessing his crimes was being broadcast. In the news broadcast seen by Aoumi Karei, the reporter mentioned how the unprecedented situation had sent shockwaves through Academy City's general courthouse, with Accelerator apparently indicted but it being unknown to them if the trial would be held as scheduled, with the Board of Directors refraining from commenting. Accelerator himself was in a cell awaiting his trial as he witnessed Operation Handcuffs spiral out of control due to the interference of Anna Sprengel, who had let herself be captured and was in the cell next to his, and R&C Occultics through the Coins of Nicholas.
