We could potentially use Ruler Amakusa for probably the most overt gif if trajectory manip if you want that

Speaking of which, we turn the mention of Sale on vector manip into a link since he has a profile

Is the gif not showing up for anyone else?

It has finally showed up for me as well. We can wait for some more folks, sure

The latter two are both blocked by funimation, so do you think you could actually produce a gif of the given segment?

I don't even know Accelerator and I also think he's the perfect fit.

The issue was less about the character and more a gif that clearly and concisely displays vector manip in an unambiguous way

Here to gifs of the latter two. (If they load)

The two of those mostly look like Attack Reflection

The fact that the effects of vector manipulation are indistinguishable from telekinesis will be a general problem here.Iapitus The Impaler said:
The gif you suggested, for example, looks just like a spell that launches thrown the swords at the target.
Here are two versions of a less reflecty option, though:

My issue with Accelerator:
Everything, without context, appears to be Attack Reflection/Redirection or Telekinesis.
You need the verbiage to understand precisely what occurs on-screen.
Vector Manipulation would need a pretty explicit gif of the meta-occurrence, which is to say, we would need a shot showcasing the forward vector simply being inverted. Accelerator himself explains this absurdly well in Toaru, but to my recollection we get zero objective showings of this in either the manga, anime, or LNs.

That's the general problem you will have, Accelerator or not.Xulrev said:
No matter the media all things VM does could also be another ability. VM is dinstiguished by its mechanics not its effects.
But a picture of someone explaining the ability would miss the purpose of a picture IMO. Hence, I think a commonly associated character using the ability is the best option we have. (Unless we find something like a meaningful diagramm)

I can absolutely agree with that DontTalk.
Perhaps a gif with the verbiage included would be the best compromise? Sure that undermines the purpose of a picture being worth a thousand words, but when you absolutely require further information to contextualize what happens on-screen, it's not a poor solution.
Accelerator is, however, the most-well-known user of VM imho, so utilizing him is good. Thankfully, he does explain the ability quite a bit. A dubbed gif with the explanation inside the gif might not be a bad option, thoughts?

I feel like Medusa from Soul Eater showed Vector Manipulation pretty well.

She did, although her is pretty unconventional. Just like the Vector Manip user from part 8 jojoThe real cal howard said:

I won't without consent kek. I will say that it is ******* with a bunch of people in the jojo community that we cannot figure out what its name is referencing

Just put a maliodus reflection .gif if you think about it if he makes contact with any magical attack he can redirect the blast the moment it hits his sword

Bump
Was gonna make a thread about this topic too but it seems there's already a thread about it and still unfinished

My suggestion is we use FC/OC GIF from their vector page
