Yeah that was what I was getting at. Its not that he couldn't but that he didn't.

Back to the topic on hand, I wonder if Accel could fight off telepathy? I'm inclined to think he can since Mikoto can so it's obviously something that can be 'blocked' but does anybody know for sure?

Spoiler for Index 2:

We were shown exactly what would happen if he turned the reflection off because Amata admitted to using his technique still after the reflection was gone due to the battery being dead. Amata would still have pummeled him into the ground, just without the reflection on, his punches aren't as effective. I'd say he likely didn't just turn it off because that could leave him open for something far worse than a punch.

I'd say science side telepathy could be reflected. We saw Misaki's didn't work on Mikoto which to my implies that it has to pass through her EM (or I guess maybe AIM) field and passing through something means a vector.

First assumption: The Sisters have enough control over electromagnetism to create high precision arcs, being capable of releasing several of them at the same time with different characteristics would be preferable, but that shortcoming can be replaced by using several Sisters at the same time.

Second assumption: They somehow manage to understand the intrincancies of Accelerator's reflection (It's not impossible after lots and lots of more fights)

Third assumption: Like Mikoto, they are immune to ligthning.

With this, similar to what Amata did, they could create several lightning arcs that bend back near Accelerator, hoping one of them gets reflected back at him. Maybe even include one straight lightning in case he nullifies completely the reflection.

If they are like Mikoto and are indeed immune to lightning, getting it reflected back at them should be no problem.

Also, lightnings are extremely fast they should be able to try several times before getting attacked by him, and once one connects they can hope to overwhelm him before he recovers and modifies his reflection (thanks to the Network they should know exactly what configuration worked). If he does recover then they can try again, assuming they are not massacred by then.

So I wouldn't say they have no chance to beat him, even if it's extremely slim.

Mikoto would theoretically have the same chance, if she could get a hold of the appropiate information.

Of course, I got no idea what they could possible do against the black wings. So maybe at most they could help him "awaken" but not get him all the way to level 6.

I'm not going to tag this because my response is in railgun S1. You are slightly off about Mikoto (and thus potentially the sisters) being immune to lightning. We saw she is immune to getting shocked (though maybe a shock that surpassed her output could work?). She is unlikely to be immune to lightning due to the heat component. We saw how serious that can be when it basically burned up the AIM Burst.

Also assuming bending electricity was possible, if it got reflected as it curved around him, it still wouldn't hit him. You are basically talking about the electricity going tangent to his reflection, and if you do a 180 on that, it still misses.

Spoiler for Index 2:

Amata's worked because he was pulling away from Accel so doing a 180 smashed his fist into Accel.
