Sword Art Online (light novel)
| The thread is made to deter and prevent spam and spoilers in the specific episode discussion threads. If you want to discuss events not yet adapted in the anime, please be sure to do so here to prevent flooding or inadvertent spoiling to viewers who have not yet read or know of the events that transpire in the arc. Use spoiler tags if needed. If you have any questions about the arc, ask here but tread this thread at your own risk. By general consensus by the light novel-reading fans, Mother's Rosario and Alicization are the most favorited arcs of the entire series so the hype may cause more spoiling than usual, thus this thread is made to prevent that. Alicization is most likely not going to be adapted in the second season, but it is not impossible for the series to tease it at the end. Especially with that really huge cliffhanger at the beginning of that arc. For any questions about Yuuki Konno, refer to her character page first, then ask for details and clarification. A warning that the first spoiler tag spoils her past and the second spoiler tag reveals what happens during the Mother's Rosario arc up until its end.

| The ED actually spoiled a lot about the Mother's Rosario arc. But out of context, one wouldn't really understand what they mean |

| Yeah I am pretty sure they will be using THAT cliffhanger for the end of season, followed by announcement of third season. This arc sets it up nicely and its quite huge blow to , especially after what she goes through in this. |
 |
| It would be pretty risky for A-1 to directly announce season 3, especially after decreased sales of season 2. |
| From what I read, S2 volume 1 sold 18k, compared with S1 volume 1 selling 27.3k. |

| Anything above 10k is pretty much a guaranteed sequel. |

SHOULD. Though it may not since it shows people doing stuff with VR other than gaming with a lot of action showing |

GGO is good, much better tha ALO arc, but it doesnt beat the best of Aircrad IMO. Now MR, it has to have great sales... Also, Really enjoyed the ED... |

MR comes out, if these sales don't go up, well that would be pretty wierd. Like Mother's Rosario is really good, next to ALicization. Except ALicization has a strong attention grabbing beginning, very strong middle and end (that totally only exists in the WN and probably will be changed anyway). The only thing I want them to change is the kinda menage à trois ending with Alice and Asuna, the rest is so fucking BA it should stay... |

Well he's actually chosen Asuna, Alice just doesn't give up. |

Caleb8980 said: Reyxe said: Well, that should've gone into a spoiler... lol Not really xD But talking about changes, I've heard Reki totally changed the WN content for the next LN, as in he massively cut down certain parts and changed others ;-) Nah, there are some differences, but i don't think they are major ones. |

| Well the change with Eugeo's end was interesting. Anyway forgot about the twin sister. I think I stopped rereading SAO in the middle of GGO a while back so it's been more than 2 years since I read MR... But yeah it's nice because that opening just hit me so bad and brought a lot of memories back to the plot of MR. So touching...makes me like MR more now than GGO LOL. |
| why.... why does SAO always does this when its about villains and antagonist? Why is it that the only reason for SAO to have villains and antagonist is so that we the audience can have someone that we can hate, just to hate on them. Now they are doing it to Asuna's mom. She has to be presented as a jerk, someone mean, with bad motives just so we the audience can hate when she appears on screen or when she is mentioned. Its not fun at all when you have worthless villains/antagonist. A good villain/antagonist/rival is just as important as a good MC |

Also, Kayaba wasn't hated, Sugou was, Kyouji wasn't until he broke down and you didn't see enough of XaXa to hate him so... dafuq u talking about. |

LastChapter said: Sugou was just a sick bastard along with Kyouji. Seriously? I can't get to hate Kyouji, probably cause we are kinda similar, but i didn't get so crazy, probably cause Japan is way more strict with those things. But even if I did, I can't get him in the same place as Sugou, i mean, he's like a male version of Asuna, both with those huge expectations, not listening to their child, ofc Asuna's mother is a bitch sometimes, but Kyouji's parents were total fuckers. Not saying what he did was okay, but I just couldn't get to hate him that much if at all... His brother was the sick bastard. |

He introduced Asada to GGO because straight from the beginning he wanted to make her his own so he had a lustful malicious intent from the start. His plan was for Asada to rely on him through GGO and in real life, thus making her fall in love with him. However, through the stress of Sinon surpassing him, the introduction of Kirito, Asada's growing independence rather than dependence, plus expectations in real life drove him to the deep end and he succumbed to his carnal desires. Hmmm... hadn't really thought about it that way, well, i guess you're right... I would like to think how Kyouji was before his life was ruined, damn. |
