What I feel like a lot of people forget or ignore about this scene is that once she went down the first time, Accelerator was willing to leave her alive. He was confused about what the scientist meant about “finishing the experiment” because none of the bastards ever told him until this moment that the experiment required him to kill the clones. He agreed to it in the first place because he thought he would fight 20,000 clones, not necessarily kill them. And then right after the first clone died, the scientist just assured him they’re just “puppets”, not really alive, so this is all fine. Accelerator didn’t start out with the intention of murdering them all, but the slow escalation of the experiments made him more bored and cruel.
