she is cheating anyway with... whatever prototype of soul translator?

DeadZeroSource said:

no it's not soul transfer it's called Medicuboid... I don't know how can this fulldive system can enhanced one's reaction time in the game, like that quick blow recovery Yuuki has after getting one from persons she dueled and counters it so quickly... but I totally agree with you that it's really unfair for all ALO players...

Would someone be so kind as to direct me to a place I can read the events after MR in English up to the latest volume? Or better yet, to PM me a synopsis on what happened afterwards?

I love this series to bits, but ever since they took things down from BakaTsuki, I've not been able to do anything but read the wiki page, but I would so love to at least know what has happened thus far in the story up to the latest volume (15th was it?). I really would like to at least know whether

Thanks and much appreciation in advance!

did they force Asuna to marry that guy her mother ask her to meet? don't want a NTR arc like that one from Black Bullet.. that arc totally pissed me off...

salmon3669 said:

Let's be honest, we all did. Well, Alicization take a whole year, probably.

No, that all gets resolved in MR.

Episode 21 Comparison

Omitted
•N/A

Added
•N/A

Differences
•In the novel, Kirito showed Asuna three fingers to indicate that he would keep off the guild for three minutes, instead of shouting it.
•In the novel, two players from the boss clearing guild tried to sneak up on and assassinate Asuna and Siune, but Asuna noticed them and cast Aqua Bind to stop them. Then, after talking with Siune, she finished them off before charging at the rest of the guild.
•In the novel, Asuna was the one who closed the doors to the boss room, instead of Siune.
•In the novel, Asuna deduced the boss's weakness after thinking about Kirito battling The Gleam Eyes, instead of seeing Talken's spear exposing its weakness. Additionally, since she was casting a spell when she deduced the weakness, Asuna accidentally failed the incantation of her spell.

Errors
•The same incantation was displayed for the three different attack spells at the beginning of the episode.
•Salamander healers were shown to use a single-target healing incantation for healing multiple players.
•The incantation displayed for Asuna's incantation did not match the incantation that Asuna recited.
•Asuna's spell was supposed to generate four ice shards instead of three.

Additional Notes for Clarity
•N/A

Holy crap, Yuuki's amount of favorites are skyrocketing. I remember back when it was around 30-40~ before the arc started.

VeryNicePerson said:
I expect Yuuki to break 1K quite easily at the end of arc; it was the same for Sinon and it will be the same for Synthesis Thirty.

Reyxe said:


One does not simply forget Thirty-senpai.

LastChapter said:

She's reaching 30 favorites lol

I have a question regarding Yuuki.
Why didn't they try to use the brain scan on her to get her consciousness on the internet/ into the VRMMO, like Kayaba did it ? I know it fries the brain in the process, but that doesn't seem like much of a problem for a terminally ill patient.

If I remember correctly, Medicuboid was designed based on Kayaba's enhanced Nervegear, meaning that they had to get their hands on it and research it. And they should know that he was killed by it, yet he still appeared alive later in the game (in ALO when Kirito was fighting Oberon ... I hope Kirito did report that, because it's fairly important ) ... so they should know about this possibility of brain scan, and I don't see a reason why they wouldn't investigate it further, as it can be used for medical purposes.

QQ, I wanted Yuuki to live, atleast in VRMMO, if nothing else. :(

What would be such a big issue with ''dictator continuously ruling by living in the virtual reality'' ?

Reyxe said:


Eternal communism.

North Korea guy ruling forever would be hell of fun, literally.

MasaneX said:


Well there are other ways to end a regime than to assassinate the leader/ wait for him to die.
I don't really believe that mortality is saving us from those catastrophies.

Reyxe said:

InsertPriestHere said:

Not to derail the thread or anything, but North Korea's no great example of a communist nation.

LastChapter said:
I don't want to delve in too much of political philosophy in a SAO thread and derail it, but when a radical figure holds radical beliefs, they become the epitome of these beliefs. So when the dictators die, so do their ideals because the supposed embodiment failed to uphold them. With an unkillable ruler, their beliefs continue with them. Of course, when a figure dies, a successor or replacement can be made, but then the ideals are now subject to a mortal lifetime.

Reyxe said:


Uhh... have you lived in a dictatorship?

I'm not saying i have, but i'm from Venezuela and right now our economy is fucked, we can't protest cause the military and some armed people from the government won't hold back in taking hostages or killing us. In 4 months of riots, 40 students and protesters were killed with headshots by police or the other guys. Also, the insecurity here is retarded, according to statistic, 1 people is killed every 7 MINUTES here. We are trapped in a country (cause you can't leave either, lel) with horrible economy, with a huge insecurity problem and we can't even fight back.

So... you need to learn than Dictatorship regime doesn't end any other way than either the death of the dictator itself or a coup de etat.

Cuba with Castro ruling forever, Venezuela with Maduro and North Korea with the lil shit, i'm really glad immortality doesn't exist, don't get me wrong, of course it has a good side, but it's bigger the damage.

MasaneX said:


I do understand what you mean, but if the regime is holding on so strongly, will it crumble with the death of that 1 leader ? I am kinda back and forth about this ... Is it enough to get that leader assassinated to crush the regime ? Because that's basically the core of the problem of Mortality IRL vs Immortality in VRMMO.
Also I wonder if a human's consciousness which exists only in the game would have the same political authority as a human with real body.

This topic surely went an interesting way. xD

LastChapter said:
Went ahead and added info to Gabriel Miller's character page. Spoiler warning, but you can definitely tell how much of a psychopath he is.

Jarkzy said:

Gabriel best villain ever xD Such a shame his final fight wasnt that good

LastChapter said:

People are complaining about the crappy villains in the series, but that's because they don't know the true influence of Kayaba Akihiko. Sugou and Kyouji I have to agree were really crappy, but wait until we get to Quinella and Vector XD

salmon3669 said:
Well, I don't think A-1 will look for a WN adaptation since web novels are outdated.

LastChapter said:
I actually have a question that needs clarifying pertaining to the END OF THE ALICIZATION ARC. *blinding lights*

The summaries didn't go in too much detail, but
