LPGeneratorx said: ...Oh god, please, don't let this go downhill the same way SAO did. Not another shitty second arc... Either way, why do both series have men who want to rape the main female leads? In SAO I we had Sugou, and in SAO II we have Shinikawa. Does the author have a rape fetish or something? ^Irony, because whether they decide to do Caliber and MR or Alicization, the second arc will be the batter one this time around. Probably. |

| Great episode! I am confused about something though. So if someone can clarify this for me, I would appreciate it. They figured out that Death Gun was actually 3 people, 1 in the game, and 2 outside the game that were doing the killing. Shinkawa tells Sinon that he is one of Death Gun's hands and one of the people who uses the syringe to kill. He also states his brother is involved. Did they clarify if the brother is Red Eyed Zaza or just the other hand that killed using the syringe? Meaning we still don't know the identity of the 3rd person, correct? So that means there is probably going to be another episode to this arc to clarify who all the Death Gun participants are. I don't read the manga, so I just gathered all of this from what they've shown so far. Which to me means there is still unanswered questions in this story arc. |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| Novel, not manga. Explanation: |
| Haha yeah I'm sure when they were watching him with Sinon they were like, ok who the hell is this? But yeah good episode, Kirito took long enough to get there, I was tired of staring at that creep. |
| Finally this damn tournament is over. Suddenly this creepy guy appears and annoys me for the rest of the episode... Why am I still watching this? /: |
| Ohh wow I don't remember him being so creepy in the novels. And they really are trying to make Sinon out to be weak, I am pretty sure she put up more of a fight in the novels but I forget. How long is this series? Is it 26 again? I wonder where this is going to go now, are they going to use one of the other arcs again? |

| im afraid that sinon wll end to that guy, but this episode proof that shinon will end up with kirito hahaha (wait, kirito already has a girlfriend right? haha) |
 |
| What I find funny is that people try to make logical sense out of this anime to justify why they hate it. For example that Sinon could snipe Death Gun without her scope. I believe that because she wanted to help kirito and found her strength to do it, she took the chance. She was not trying to kill Death Gun but surprise him momentarily so that Kirito could take the opportunity to win. There are million other shows where things doesn't make sense. And it doesn't have to, because it's anime. So seriously, stop using that as an excuse to bash the show all the time. There are tons of other shows with less "realistic" things going down. ex. Jinrui wa suitai shimashita. You have a talking bread and chicken.. try making sense out of that, I dare you xD |

I believe that because she wanted to help kirito and found her strength to do it, she took the chance. Kirito outright states that she is not sniping, she is distracting. She simply pointed the gun at Death Gun and prepared to shoot without targeting - the prediction Line still appears, even if she will miss. Hence why its a "phantom bullet" - its an illusion of danger. |

| By far the best episode of SAO II. My goodness A-1 Pictures adapted this Phantom Bullet arc perfectly in my opinion. The fight between Kirito and Death Gun aka Zaza was animated so well. The action scenes were top-notch and the OST made it much better. The aftermath with Kyouji going crazy was also animated so well. They really made Kyouji look as creepy as possible and it definitely made the scene very intense. Kirito coming in to save Sinon was great. Looking forward to the overall conclusion next week and probably the beginning of the Caliber arc and eventually Mother's Rosario~ 5/5 |

| So they finally defeated death gun,and Asada's friend turned in to a psychopath that scene was so creepy,and Kirito comes to the rescue, wonder what will happen next. |
  |
| Finally the battle in the GGO was ending. Kirito and Sinon are the winners of the tournament. So Shinkawa-kun is the other Death Gun in the real world and he is so freaking crazy enough to harm Asada-san, the girl he loves... It is horrible! |

| Where is the fucking police?!! |
 |
| So... to me at least, this was the best SAO episode since episode 14 of season 1. Ever since the beginning of the second arc last season, the series has sorta become stale for me. Even if the show is still cliché, at least they did it right with this episode IMHO. A great swordfight that doesn't skimp with lame techniques, Sinon and Kirito getting a 2-person win with that grenade (a bit of creativity in a SAO episode? wow much surprise), spine-tingling/unsettling "almost rape scene", etc. All in all, I'd say the whole episode had a fascinating vibe to it. Finally got me more pumped for the series. Let's just hope they don't pull another season 1 and make the second arc A-level crap. |
| Lmao, Shinkawa at the end was hilarious. And then Kirito just rushes in XD |
| Seriously, what a 'brilliant' way to end half of the show in the summer season. |

| That was sooooooo fucked up, what a creeper! I liked how Kirito showed up being a badass in real life to save the day, I can't hate on the guy at all, he is just a badass! |
| The phantom bullet was a pretty clever trick and how Kirito dropped that name in his monologue to link it back to the title of the GGO arc was freaking cool! Beginning with Kirito recalling DG's name, Sinon's intervention, Swordland bursting into my ears, that guitar solo, the slow motion sword play, basically how the tide of the battle turned in a matter of seconds was the highlight of the episode for me. |
| Both of them won BoB. Great! So cliche. Anyway, Death Gun was revealed. He had many identities. The first one was Shinkawa, the youngest and the other Shinkawa, the eldest. I don't think there are others though. Episode was great! Nice combat there from Kirito. But the ending was predictable as fuck if you ask me. |
SaBe31415 said: that was a heal of a episode :3 lol Moar Star Wars references FTW Death Gun got Darth Maul'd XD |
caledon said: Moar Star Wars references FTW Death Gun got Darth Maul'd Speaking of which, does anyone know why Death Gun exploded when he was killed? |
Mirai, zura~!  |
EeveeRain said: caledon said: Moar Star Wars references FTW Death Gun got Darth Maul'd Speaking of which, does anyone know why Death Gun exploded when he was killed? Not really sure... I think Kirito sliced a nade when he killed Death Gun or something [that black piece in the midde of the image] |
| Oh SAO, I missed your godawful writing but thankfully the past 4 or 5 episodes were as bad as season 1 again. I also assume Sinon's friend is a fan of Mahouka; he seems to be pathetic enough to like it. Then again, I am sure the people who think this is good may like Mahouka as well. |

I was expecting this to go for the full 26 because it was two novels long and the first series covered two as well. but then I remembered the first arc actually covered the first novel and a load of other later parts too. |

| "... someday you would be mine..." - Dude, seriously? "Be mine"? Dat desperation + society scum. Shinkawa, y u no die plox? Everyone that likes Shino must feel like wanting to kill Shinkawa now ._. btw, why the hell there's always a pervert scum to mess with the female main characters? KIRITO KICK THE SHIT OFF THAT MOTHERFUCKER! (I don't even want to imagine what Shino will feel when she gets to know that Kirito as a girlfriend xD Neither want to imagine Asuna being mad :x I bet everyone forgot but Asuna is 15% yandere, if you know what I mean.) |

| OMG i thought i was thinking too much when i was thinking if that guy friend of hers is actually a bad guy. I was like...don't open the door! So Shinkawa was beside her when death gun was going to shoot her. So if death gun actually shot...shinkawa will inject that drug? The ending with Kirito came running and kicking was so cool. Kirito's the man. |
| This is just getting darker and darker, and I love it. |
 |
| My guess was right that guy(Spiegel) is related to Death Gun !! |
Reyxe said: DancingJack said: How was he not "participating" in the Death Gun thing while he was walking around as Death Gun? They even showed the scene of Death Gun shooting at the screen to act like he could kill people just by shooting at them while he was revealing that he played Sterben at that point to Sinon - How is that not participating in the Death Gun thing? My entire point was that he was Death Gun... and he was Death Gun or not? I never said anything about him actually killing anyone. But then again, why discuss with someone who just has the point out that he read the light novel for no reason. Of course you be must be right about everything, how could I ever doubt that now?! Totally overlooked that this is the discussion thread for the episode 13 of the light novel, sorry. You were the one talking as if you knew everything, lawl. Again, he didn't kill, by 'participating' i meant the killings itself, he didn't go to someone's house and killed him. And 'Death Gun' isn't a single person, so you're not wrong, but you aren't right either. That's why I wrote 'a' Death Gun in my post. |

| So.... Kirito can touch Sinon, but when her long-time trusted friend tries to touch her, she gets really creeped out. FFs Of course they had to make Shinikawa crazy... because then Kirito would have actual competition for Sinon... Yay when Sinon is having a mental breakdown... she thinks of Kirito as the only thing good in her life - a man she met in a game, and only knew for what? 2 days? Ahhh Kirito comes in to save the day.... so f***ing predictable. God I was hoping for the god damn police to do something for once, instead of Kirito being invincible both in game and in rl. |
| I am a human. |
| don't like SAO IIs plot, shinon is poorly made and just a cry baby, i mean seriously why did they add a character like her, why don't u continue with the old ones from sao I? |
Poesy said: don't like SAO IIs plot, shinon is poorly made and just a cry baby Err I'm pretty sure if anyone were being raped then you know..... |
 |
| Man that ending just creeped me out. Though I already was thinking that there were some sort of parallel between Death Gun (Sterben = To die in German) and Shinkawa (Spiegel = Mirror in German) also the opening was a bit suspicious but meh. Would have loved to see Kirito, instead of pseudo-dualwieling with his gun, to grab Death Gun's Sword and do some sort of Starburst Stream. |
