Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator Manga Chapter 024

The twenty-fourth chapter of the Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator manga was released on April 26, 2016.

Synopsis
Thinking fast, Hishigata transmits the data he had gotten to Qiong Qi and Taotie. Waiting for them to restart, he tries to buy some time by talking to Accelerator on why he ended up with the Coffins, a culmination of his 5 years of research. He says how they tried to figure out where esper powers come from in the body, eventually concluding that it comes from the soul as no matter what they did, the esper still had their powers even if they were chopped up. Hishigata says that he made the brain think that the machine that eventually would become the Coffin is part of the esper's body, dramatically increasing the power of the esper ability. However, Hishigata says he still can only do so in dead brains.

Accelerator is sickened by this, and tries to attack, but Hishigata tries to bluff him by saying that he will make Accelerator face off against an even more powerful Qiong Qi and Taotie using the transmitter to send the data he had gotten recently. Accelerator destroys it quickly with a kick of a rock. However, Hishigata finally reveals his ruse, saying that he had tricked them and that Qionq Qi and Taotie have begun restarting. Before him, Qiong Qi rises. With that, Hishigata and Hirumi leaves Accelerator to contend with the Coffins, as they prefer to create the perfect being.
