Referbacks[]
Accelerator trying to use a person's biolectricity and blood flow on the DA member is a callback to the way he killed Misaka 10031.[1]
When his wound reopens as a result of his actions, Accelerator again recalls the moment when he was shot in the head by Amai Ao.[2]
Cultural References[]
Huotou calls Esther "Adonai", which means "master" or "lord" in Hebrew. Traditionally it is used to refer to God in prayer in place of His name in reverence for the holiness of His name.
