There is an episode where Accelerator mentions to Last Order if I recall
correctly (it could be another character) that he/she shouldnt worry about
someone who can't be killed even by a nuclear bomb. But in the other hand, his
brain has been overwhelmed with information sometimes, when he had to kill the
virus for example, and I think there were other moments where he received many
vectors and couldnt fight back 100%. I assume a nuclear bomb has many vectors
to process. Since he appears in several series/media (3 different animated
series, mangas and light novels) plus there could be data in official
databooks if they exist, I thought this question might have been probably
answered.

Can Accelerator be killed by a nuclear weapon?

Can Accelerator be killed by a nuclear weapon?


I would assume that he would have no trouble deflecting the initial blast
because it's just a straightforward shockwave (no dark matter shenanigans
here). But there's more to worry about than just the initial shockwave.

During Accelerator's fight with Touma after he sets off the dust explosion, he
actually does contemplate on such a scenario. He notices that the temporary
lack of oxygen from the dust explosion almost killed him, and comments that he
probably wouldn't be able to survive a direct nuclear blast for the same
reason. In the novels, he considers the idea of oxygen tanks to remedy that
problem, since some are made the size of hairspray bottles.
