| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, Sinon got a bit anxiety this episode during that fight with her gun. I bet we'll see more of that later on. The episode was tense although I notice that Kirito shows no fear at all.. Welp, he goes Jedi again with his proton sword. Not that I'm surprised but Sinon gets cornered at sword point.  |

| Flashback, because of that masked guy. With fear, he won another battle. Then main guy vs. main girl of the season. He doesn't do anything, just walking to let her lose her calm. She got angry and said something that somehow woke him up. He won by looking at where she looked and cut the bullet, then confessed to her about his fear. |

| BULLETS CUT IN HALF |
| So yeah, 1 hit from that light saber is guarantee a kill. And the guy took more than a few sec to die last episode was just for some dramatic effects. Anyway, good episode, but I thought they would save more time and make the flashback part about Laughing Coffin longer. Oh well, we can finally see the art/animation has improved so much since the first season. Good episode. I bet people will complain about his OPness when seeing he cuts through the bullet in half lol. |

| Did Sinon not aim directly at Kirito or was RNG-sama too strong. o_o |
 |
| Kirito Skywalker has fully entered God mode and is making quick work of these fools. He's playing Sinon like a fiddle. How more many episodes until Sinon is fully "trapped" by Kirito's harem/d*ck beam? It looks like it will only be a matter of time. |

| Looks like Sinon is being drawn in by Kirito's cock of justice. |
an egomaniac and a fool |
| Man these episodes just keep getting better and better. Later on is gonna be amazing when the real action starts. |
| That flashback to SAO was interesting. |
| All OPness of Kirito aside, I liked this episode a lot because we got better development of Kirito than we've ever had in all of first season combined. His post-traumatic stress is something that felt quite real, and I like that they made the connection with Shion because she, too, faces similar problems. Even the strongest of people have a weakness to them, and this aspect to me, is what made Kirito more likable after this episode. How dare they kill off Ginko. Mushishi is love. Mushishi is life. |
| Was a really good episode. Awesome to see Kirito's skill in action. I'm looking forward to when Sinon finds out that he was the top player in SAO... if she does. All the players in GGO would fear him :D |
 |
| Getting a little flash back of when Kirito was in SAO. Impressive how Kirito saw where she was going to shoot him. |
 |
| Sinon seemed to get a bit flustered after the fight, but dang Kirito cutting that bullet in half wow. |
My Candies:     |
| Kirito having that flashback with laughing coffin shook him up badly. Him and Sinon are kinda similar both of them have killed a person. I'm still impressed that he deflected Sinon's last sniper shot. |
| Another amazing episode :D Keep going A-1 >.<!! Esp love how they're keeping Kirito and Sinon's monologues (^O^)/ Loved seeing the Laughing Coffin raid animated :D And seeing Kirito's emo mode being done well was something that definitely surprised me. That was one of the part I didn't like that much in the volume but seeing it animated was actually pretty nice. It wasn't over dramatic either. And how he just overcame it probably thinking that this game is nothing in comparison and started kicking ass was awesome ^^ Sinon getting pissed at how he was just walking toward her not giving a F*** was awesomely done! And Dat bullet slicing!! BA! Quite a position Kirito was holding Sinon in for quite a while during their conversation :3 It can get a person totally misunderstanding XD Sinon's tears and blush were cute <3 and loved how she was thinking "He's strong" ^^ Also loved the reactions to Kirito winning. Death Gun has a new target :P |
 |
| Seems like Kirito is trembling in fear because of that Laughing Coffin survivor. That flashback of his was well portrayed for its intensity and his emotional state. Sinon vs Kirito, well I knew that Kirito would win and Sinon getting all flustered when she is standing close to him. Death Gun's eyes are pretty scary... |
| Okay for now im liking s2 more than s1, but kirito seems like such a pussy to me because of those long hairs, i just cant get used to it. |
| OK question: if Sinon & Kirito are already both qualified for the final round, and it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why would the tournament have them go up against each other anyway in a semi-final? Is qualifying based on a point system i.e. you only need to win 3 out of 5 qualifiers and you're set because that's the only thing I can see that makes sense? And I notice at the end this particular match didn't seem to be broadcast to the other players, it only showed the status screen at the end. |
| Enjoyable episode. Looking forward for the real tournament to start. |
Sinon best girl. Just fucking kiss. |
 |
| Is it just me or does it seem like gun gale online arc will end soon? |
| I hate how they made Sinon in the anime |

| good flashback to SAO, but i'm jealous of kirito in the end of episode, he got to hug sinon so tight T_T |

| EPIC.... the fight with laughing coffin... I need more. |
     |
| Kirito was Sinon was pretty amazing. He jsut stood there like he knew she'd miss and not giving a damn about the fight. I don't blame him since the confrontation with Death Gun left him in a state of shock. After surviving SAO he probably didn't expect any LC members left. Those LC members were blood thirsty savages who killed for pleasure. If I was in GGO I'd be just as petrified as Kirito. Who knows if the guild got bigger and has players from the guild in the BoB tournament. When Kirito was holding Sinon the first thing that came to my mind was an Asuna getting very mad at him. Lucky she's not in the game or else he'd be asking for mercy lol. Looks like Death Gun has his next vicitm, Kirito. After the final match vs Sinon it looks like Death Gun knows Kirito is the real deal. Considering Death Gun is a LC member it doesn't surprise me that Kirito will probably be in his list. |
 |
| SAO flashback?Good...I couldnt even felt sorry for the idiots who died to Laughing Coffin Members Seems like its game over for Sinon for the time being,Kirito is too strong for her to handle(or anyone :I) |

We are currently a bit less (ca. 1 episode) away from the halfway point of the entire GGO arc ;-) (In LN we have finished Vol. 5 and move onto Vol. 6 which is around 150 pages longer than Vol.5) So SAO II might be a two arc show with Mother's Rosario possibly being shown? |
|
| Kirito is God himself. Dude is the most OP character of all time. Every single strong Anime character would not even stand a chance. Can't see how Kirito is scare of death gun. |
| I really liked that flashback to SAO with Kirito, Asuna and that guild going after LC...That entire thing was just way too awesome I also like the fact that Kirito is afraid....This makes things a whole lot more interesting and I like how they're making Kirito and Sinon be able to relate to each other like this..And that last scene where Kirito held her by the waist was pretty hawt lol I was hoping that we would of gotten more time to see the other matches but oh well...Sinon vs Kirito didnt go exactly how I thought it would but it was okay...Hopefully round 2 (If there is one will be better) I have a quick question for LN readers though....Did they skip through the rounds like this in the LN? |
| Was the raid on LC in SAO shown? I can't recall it and I doubt I'd forget it. It's kind of a big thing. I mean, killing 3 people is sure to f*** up anyone with morale, let alone a teenager. A decent development episode, could've been better. And she's surprisingly calm after hearing him say he killed 3 people. She doesn't know circumstances (other than what he said about protecting the ones you love) so I expected somewhat bigger reaction. Nevertheless, SAO 2 is continuing to surprise me by not being trash like ALO was. Please, do continue like this. |
| Loved it, was just so good, loved the novel and loving the anime too. Before someone comes "hurr kirito just cut a bullet durr", if you can block bullets or dodge them that fast, if you know shes shooting at your left leg, then you would just try to slash it, ofc i would've used a "wow, actually did it" comment to avoid all these haters but oh well. Also, its not something new, cmon... Black Lagoon, even Star Wars had some similar scenes and you are hating SAO because its SAO? lel. EDIT: Also, i think Kirito isn't "afraid" of Death Gun, hes just remembering things, u know? killing 3 persons would be a trauma for everyone.

I dont know about the last part, but that match was all about who qualified as first of the group I guess. |
| Nice episode...did'nt expect to see him like that...after the talk to that LC guild member guy... Kirito you fcking chick magnet...!! It's already late for this joke i guess xD |
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender, A warrior of youth, I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order I Am Bulletproof. . .  |
| Good episode, kirito loses his mind at some point because of Death Gun. He won the duel vs Shinon, so i guess it wasn't that bad. |
| Kirito TOO STRONK. Good episode anyway, Loved the SAO flashback. |

| Kirito is basically the god of gods. He could probably take down Tatsuya. |

| Dat flash back. Wasn't really feeling this episode. The first half with the flash back was really good, but then when Kirito personality did a 360 it kid of felt meh after that. Felt like the animation for the fights was reduce. Also the fight with Kirito vs Sinin could have been a bit better imo. 3/5. |

Hyack said: Sinon best girl. Just fucking kiss. ^This. Death Gun just walks away 'cause he's freakin' boss. He's so badass he makes Kirito tremble with fear. But Kirito's actually scared because of what happened in the Laughing Coffin raid. So to get rid of fear, he just rampages through all his opponents! (^_^) Sinon vs Kirito! Sinon with her sniper needs to calm down. Don't worry, Kirito and his sword will take care of her. But seriously, cutting bullets in half is pretty awesome. We therefore conclude Kirito is still a player, in both meanings of the word. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| only the second half of the episode was worth the week i've waited for this... i hope he tells sinon about SAO |
 |
| Damn... I didn't expect kirito to be so affected by the conversation he had with Death gun. Overall another great episode in my opinion. Especially that duel with sinon at the end really awesome to watch! |
