SUGUHA. GURL. EVEN IF YOU HAVE FEELINGS FOR YOUR FLIPPING BROTHER OR COUSIN OR WHATEVER, DON'T TELL HIM THAT. THAT'S LIKE LESSON ONE OF NOT BEING AWKWARD IN LIFE.

How the hell did she NOT know it was Kirito. When him and his avatar look the same. Hell, she could have thought "hmmm, this person that I'm traveling with looks a lot like my sexy ex-brother."

Well that was an insanely interesting episode!!!! Well it was inevitable for Sugu to get heartbroken after finding out the truth behind Kirito, it doesnt make seeing it any less harder. Only 3 more episodes! dammit..., cannot wait for season 2! Lastly I'll say: atleast SAO knows how to do drama, unlike crap like Shitsekai Yaoi. Thank god A-1 pictures knows what anime to do right and wch ones to leave as shit.

^ This.

Well, that was intense. Looking foward the next episode, it's almost over.


AS explained in the past, Before anything, Suguha does not know that Kazuto is playing VRMMO again. That fact alone never made Suguha question who Kirito is and think about any similarity.

and I can safely assume that She even disregard the fact that Kirto looks like Kazuto, because in her head it's impossible for Kazuto to return to a VRMMO after the SAO incident.

And Kazuto never once mentioned he's playing a VRMMO in this whole arc.

was a bit sluggish up till now, but we'll see ! not long now.

i think the current kirito is now out of character, before at SAO, he thinks before he act, not like this episode, he always gear up before entering dungeons, i think kirito must wait for the reinforcements from the other clans and think a proper plan to finish to grand quest.

i feel really sad for suguchan, if you want a hug ill give ya <3

i couldn't stop laughing its was so bad i wanted to see that would happen and it was amazing lol shes so stupid not finding out that the person looked and had the same name has her "brother" overall it was a good episode only 3 left =(


Remember that kirito is not his real name. It is kirigaya Kazuto. So he basically used the first of his last name and the last bit of his first name. If people did that, it could easily be anyone. Also remember that not much information about the events in SAO was released to the public, so suguha wouldnt know of the name kirito or what he did in SAO for two years

omg Sugu is so self-centered or something. Sure it's disappointing that her online crush turns out to be her brother who is in love with someone else, but it's not like Kirito did anything wrong.
And why the Hell does Kirito insist to do everything on his own this time? It's not like Leafa would die for real if they go together into the world tree. Doesn't she have healing spells? This episode made no sense to me (and I'm not one of the haters. I'm one of the fans, but seriously this made no sense).
At least there was a cool fight scene, and finally Sugu found out about Kirito's identity (really, it was about time.)

A good solid episode, much better than the rest of the episodes in ALO. Suguha finally found out that Kirito in game is actually her brother in real world, just when the name "Asuna" got slipped fro Kirito's mouth.

Firstly, Suguha thought her brother gave up on VMMORPG, due to what he has experienced in 2 years.
Secondly, Suguha doubt Kirito resembles her brother, as she and Leafa don't look alike at all.

At first I did feel a little sorry for Suguha, but afterwards, I was just like...are you freaking serious. How the hell is it Kirito's fault that she ended up having feelings for him...and trying to run away from those feelings falling in love with him in the game.

She can feel sad all she wants that her feelings aren't reciprocated, but Kirito is not at fault. He sees her as a sister and that's that, and if she decided to see him in a different way or started seeing him in a different way, then its not his fault. I just feel like she was blaming him for her developing feelings, when he was just treating her as a sister.

Anyways, I really loved that scene where Asuna, Kirito, and Yui were touching that card, is as close a reunion I've gotten so far, so I'll take it until the real reunion comes : )

Which I'm looking forward to lot.

She wasn't mad at Kirito. She was frustrated that when she finally thought that she had moved on from Kirito, that happened.

^ Pretty much this. (cant believe I'm agreeing with you on something lol). She had prepared her heart to give up on him cuz she had fallen in love with the Kirito in game. When she found out the two of them were one in the same, that was the breaking point of all the emotions she had bottled up inside.

Each passing episode feels worse than the last one. This anime should have ended as soon as Kirito got out of SAO and was walking down the hospital hallway. Back then it was still 9/10 quality (maybe).

I have more respect for her since it took a lot to confess everything in the open like that to Kirito so soon after finding out the truth.

Feeling kinda sad for Sugu and I really don't blame her for causing the whole drama... (Well, she is one of my favourite char after all)
She could probably be upset that Kirito's too fking obsessed with Asuna... He did try to solo everything in the World Tree just for Asuna.
Can't wait to see how this gets resolved.

That aside, the fight scene was very nice though the quality was rather bad, just like almost all the other fight scenes in ALO.

Recon sort of deserved a little of what he got since he was calling her by her first name (something considered intimate and only done by family or lovers). Also, Suguha didn't know that it was her brother she fell in love with so it isn't like she ditched Recon for her brother.

Why haven't they even shown the villain of the series? Sugou needs more appearances.

From what i understand about their relationship..., going by first names should be normal for them now (could never understand why first names were such a big deal, if ppl called me by my last name all the time it would be weird). They are classmates and have been 'together' for a while. It is clear Recon loves her and she does show signs of having feelings for him. I fail to see how he deserved to be treated like that when its kinda implied he and Sugu were always together before Kirito showed up.

In Japan and a few other Asian countries, it's the other way around. It doesn't matter how long they've known each other, what matters is how close they are with each other. If Suguha let Recon call her by her first name then it would imply that they were in a serious relationship - boyfriend/girlfriend. The fact that Recon would even try to call her that deserved a yelling by Suguha since she has no intention at all of ever dating Recon.

It's a Japanese thing. Going by first-name basis is a sign of closeness to Japanese. That's why Suguha is against to Recon calling her by her first name as they're not really that close.
Sure they're part of the same race but that doesn't mean he's allowed to called her by her first name.
In the first place, Suguha just approached Recon because she wanted to ask him what VR game can be played easily without much time investment in it. And Recon suggested ALO.

Well i think that hes just really desperately wants to meet Asuna, imean he is stressed on time if he wants to get her back before the marriage with Sugou - also, i think he kinda just wants to do it by himself too ... He is a loner, also, he was a beater in SAO and maybe cause he had the advantage then, then he thinks he can do it again in ALO

Finally it picks up ALO has been kinda a let down the only two things that intrigued me was Kirito's beast form and that fight he had with the strongest guy on the server.

Man who knew playing such games had such adverse effects and could cause one such drama in their personal lives?? I did... I don't care who stuck in that game (except my mom or bother) but still I personally would not step into another virtual reality after the effects it had IRL, becoming ill thinned etc.
Lol anyways I loved how Kirito dragged that monsters head down and slashed it off dude was determined but we see that a lot in anime no surprise there still badass though.
Sugu part is nothing revolutionary in anime it's always been this way if the MC has a sister you better believe their not related lol smh
Sugu has a better bod than Asuna just sayin lol

I fail to see how he deserved to be treated like that when its kinda implied he and Sugu were always together before Kirito showed up.
In Japan and a few other Asian countries, it's the other way around. It doesn't matter how long they've known each other, what matters is how close they are with each other. If Suguha let Recon call her by her first name then it would imply that they were in a serious relationship - boyfriend/girlfriend. The fact that Recon would even try to call her that deserved a yelling by Suguha since she has no intention at all of ever dating Recon.


This is where i get confused. I have watched lots of anime where first names are used after just one conversation between individuals. I understand what you mean about using first names indicating a level of closeness but that doesnt seem to be the case everytime.

Recon getting abused aside..., the way she just tossed him aside as soon as Kirito showed up pissed me off about her character, so feeling any kind of sympathy for her is impossible lol. She got what she deserved! lol

Well, I like Suguha a lot but when did she start playing the game fully clothed?

I think Kirito needs a trip to the woodshed after his persistent cluelessness. I dunno what he's doing leaning against the door listening to her cry.

She's confused and hurting now. Will she become a stoic, and help Kirito win fair Asuna back?

The fight scenes were pretty lame, which is typical for this show. I'm not sure what I'm hoping will happen next but I hope the weaselly Recon doesn't slither back into the picture.

I wonder if Suguha's seiyuu gets teased about her roles by the other seiyuu. But I think she's doing a good job with a pretty tense role.

omg Sugu is so self-centered or something. Sure it's disappointing that her online crush turns out to be her brother who is in love with someone else, but it's not like Kirito did anything wrong.
And why the Hell does Kirito insist to do everything on his own this time? It's not like Leafa would die for real if they go together into the world tree. Doesn't she have healing spells? This episode made no sense to me (and I'm not one of the haters. I'm one of the fans, but seriously this made no sense).
At least there was a cool fight scene, and finally Sugu found out about Kirito's identity (really, it was about time.)

Hmm.... Id say that because of how he feels about deaths to those close to him, he didnt want to bring Leafa with him because if she died he wouldve felt bad (even if not for real) because as he said "i will not let any of my team members/party members die" or did he say friends ... Anyway, thr point is he probably didnt want her to die and she wouldve dragged him down (he probably thinks) because he would sacrifice his life for her

Recon sort of deserved a little of what he got since he was calling her by her first name (something considered intimate and only done by family or lovers). Also, Suguha didn't know that it was her brother she fell in love with so it isn't like she ditched Recon for her brother.

Some people don't care, but what I said above is the norm in Japan.

It wasn't the first time that Recon has called Suguha by her first name which is why she scolded him about it. It's Recon's fault for insisting on doing that after he's been warned.

Lmao Idk what the hell he's doing listening to her cry it's not like he's trying to comfort her either...might as well leave
Ya I learned to give the show credit for fights scenes because it's been worse remember the final boss in sword art online arc still pics...that was bad
So this is as good as it gets in this show

Crap, I'd forgotten that. And most of the backgrounds looked like they were made to be easy to 'animate'.

It increases his power level. Every girl in the show falls in love with him and he is the most powerful thing in the online universe. Coincidence I think not.
