There are a number of possibilities for this arc Mugino Shizuri could become another love interest introduced (she could be Ranma’s new Kodachi).
It provides the opportunity for the two to fight multiple times. Getting them to fight wouldn’t be that hard Ranma would see blood the moment he finds about the Radio Noise Project and Accelerator is told that if a normal person finds out about it he would have to shut them up permanently.
and integrate emotions to the clones that would make the people involved in the experiments reevaluate the clones' humanity.
If the silicon cards work on ki blast
Since it didn’t happen in the original series Ranma could be the one to help Kiyama find her car.
This would also involve him into the graviton bombing incident.
This arc also introduces Capacity Down, a sound file that disrupts esper brain functions, making it very difficult for them to use their power effectively, or do much of anything at all.
(keep in mind that as a protagonist in the Toaru Majutsu no Index universe Ranma is legally obligated to have a harem)
Finally since Gabriel rules over the symbol of water it could change the trigger or even trap or cure Ranma.
Ranma would feel extremely guilty about the sister’s he couldn’t save and might even offer to train them so that they could better defend themselves.
what do you think
Caution here, Ranma is at VERY high risk to get killed facing off against Accelerator. >90% of Ranma´s abilities are not just useless, but more dangerous to himself if used in such a fight. Should work if Ranma gets to see Accelerator in a fight before this happens, so he at least knows what to NOT use.
And as an addition to that, even overpowered Ranma is going to have major problems dealing with the level 5s and many level 4s. They simply do not attack in ways he has any effective defense against.
Misaka could roast him easily, Mugino could have him do an excellent swiss cheese impression the instant she uses a card and Ranma isn´t extremely fast to get out of the way(dodging her beams is impossible, dodging her aim can be done but is very very hard), he probably has zero resistance to Shokuhou´s mindfuckery, Kuroko could kill him the instant that she wanted to(he would need to know exactly how to avoid getting something teleported inside of him to have a chance) etc etc...
In every argument involving Ranma vs Accelerator the later is put into a category similar Saffron in that it would an all or nothing fight, but I put more in Herb’s category in that it would take multiple fights before Ranma figures out how to beat him. It is less that that Ranma is powerful enough to defeat him, but more that he is durable enough to survive.
It is true most of Ranma’s ability would be useless and any initial confrontation with them would end up with Ranma in the hospital he wouldn’t be in any risk of being killed. As stated Accelerated isn’t a sadist he doesn’t look for trouble the people he brutalizes all go after him not the other way around. So a combination of Ranma’s healing factor and Durability and the fact that Accelerator wouldn’t be going full out could be the deciding factor especially if you add in Heaven Canceller medical ability. Ranma would end up with at most a broken arm and some bruises.
There second fight would be were it really matter’s. Yes Accelerator is extremely powerful he has a number of weaknesses’ that Ranma could exploit. The easiest is that he can’t reflect something if he doesn’t know the correct vector equations for it. There is little difference between ki and magic. However while Magic is to complicated to be completely redirected a ki blast would be so basic that that it would be a complete unknown so Accelerator wouldn’t be able to completely redirected. Redirecting a vacuum blade would just funnel air into it resulting in a blast of air. While it would take some ingenuity (which isn’t hard for Ranma) a Hiryu shoten ha could also work as Accelerator as he can’t use his Aerokinesis if the wind is moving in an abnormal direction. There is also dividing his focus which is how Amai Ao was able to shoot him in the head. Finally Accelerator himself mentioned that suffocating him would work so maybe a variation of the Deep-Sea Demon Wrap. While Ranma beating Accelerator would still be far-fetched he would be able to put in a sizable dent in him and get away. Though since Accelerator would be far more willing to go all out in a second confrontation. It is a given that Ranma will end up seriously injured.
Finally the Kiseru/Fan Throw follows the same principles as Vector Manipulation in that it changes the magnitude and direction of an object to maneuver it in the desired way. So it is not implausible once Accelerator’s ability is explained to him (or he figures it out) to come up up with something similar to Kihara’s technique or even already have a technique and would just need to apply it offensively instead of defensively.
My consensus is that Ranma would be able to figure out a way to defeat Accelerator but by the time he does he would either be to injured to utilize it or there would no longer be a reason to fight him.
Do the "controllers" actually care about that?

As for other level 5 that might not be as hard as you make it out to be yes if Mikoto went at him full power she could roast him easily but she’s not the type to go full out on the first strike and as shown with his fight with Rouge Ranma is durable enough survive a lightning strike even multiple ones and that was magically enhanced.
Mugino would probably be the easiest to deal with as she tends to underestimate people and rely heavily on her powers.
Even Sogiita he could probably handle given the guy’s fighting styles.
The level 5’s who would really give Ranma trouble are Misaki and Kakine
It’s more like Accelerator would care as the fact that the Sister’s were so emotionless was one of the ways he rationalized killing them because it allowed him to convince himself that they weren’t human. Them showing a little more emotions could possibly catch him off guard.
HopeSeiketsu wrote:you guys seem to be forgetting one simple thing, ranma just needs to get lucky ONCE with a feint or something similar where he pulls back just before impact. after all accel is kind of a glass cannon and one punch at a high speed reversed and accelerated would likely EASILY end the fight. given how fast ranma can throw a punch. it would DEFFINETLY hit harder then the brass nuckles from that one guy
most of the abilities are not something that would be easily countered.
A lot of them also seem science based which creates a problem with the Ranma universe in general I don't think Ranma knows enough about science to be able to counter a lot of abilities within the railgun universe.
However considering that the people of the Ranma verse seem capable of violating scientific laws and the like out of nowhere, I can see that being an advantage to Ranma.
As for Accelerator...He might be able to bypass the redirection ability using the Umisenken, but I'm not sure on the logistics, as Im only going off the information from the wikia on his ability.
Ranma would probably not be capable of handling some of the bigshots of the series in head on confrontation, at least not for awhile. Still it isn't called "Anything Goes" for nothing. He'd probably have to use more trickery and be sneakier.
It'd be interesting. I personally like fics where Ranma has to be more clever, more indirect rather than a direct combatant.
Which part of umisenken? I can´t recall any that can bypass Accys ability at least? Remember that his ability works both automatically AND intentionally, and that he can effectively generate vectors rather than just changing them, up to a ridiculous limit(making a small skyscraper fly off is IIRC the most extreme example shown).
lol what i meant is that it could be a thing where abilities might be more complicated than he understands and thus he could be caught offguard.
Well the defensive ability seems mostly based off what he can perveive, and then what can be detected as a threat.
However something like a pressure point might actually make it through
It'd make a fic a challenge without finding some way to put Ranma on the same level as the level 5s.
As I said, I dont think Ranma would be capable of winning in a head on fight, I can see him using subterfuge or more guerilla tactics if he knew he'd need to take alot of these characters down. Particularly with the level 5s... who could probably insta-kill him.
The mind over matter theme of the railgun universe would certainly clash with the Nerima methods of problem solving, so I can see Ranma falling back on different ways of dealing with issues regarding more powerful characters. Rather than a head on confrontation.
Not unless he actively ALLOWS it. That´s his problem, it´s even why he´s albino, even the rays of the sun are bounced, he could quite possible have a citybuster nuke go off in touch range of him and not even be inconvenienced. Like i said, his ability is ridiculously overpowered bullshit.
Of course, i wouldn´t put it outside the realm of possibility of him consistently and thoroughly getting his ass handed to him a few times, and then in return make himself an esper just to get a 2nd round with a "better" outcome.

Kinda reminds me of a fic I read awhile ago where Ryoga got a few years in the DBZ universe and came back massively more powerful to the point Ranma was no longer a challenge at all for him to fight, Ranma became a magical girl in order to be able to compete with him, could be very amusing and it is something I can see him doing so following something like that could work, though that story was very much geared to comedy in the end.
The essential idea is interesting though, perhaps tying another anime/manga peripherally into it that would allow Ranma to fight on the level with the level 5s in a similar manner to this.
I have a decent harddrive I use for gaming, Seagate was the brand I believe. I like it because It's portable, though I'm not much of a tech guy so I can't say much.
thanks, and as far as i am concerned long ones are good ones well so long as they aren't past 350k words that is a bit much, as i am fairly sure that would be about 700 pages in a book which is just right for me lol.
