It's fine if it's just a bug, and originally my complaint was about people not being able to sign up for BoB without getting into this building, even though they can be teleported there at any time, contradicting what they said in another episode about characters not being able to teleport in GGO.

I'm bringing this up again: in episode 1, government guy tells us that GGO's servers are in America, so it's impossible to contact those who manage them. In this episode, it is said that there are indeed servers in Japan; was the government trolling Kirito, or is it just bad writing?


Nah, Sinon says that "Japanese stuff is assigned for the server FOR Japan", not in Japan ;-)
So just that they have japanese people doing the translations, troubleshooting and Q&A from the players to the company, but the server itself still sits in America.

Yeah, I rewatched that part, and I was wrong about the servers.
Also, now that I think about it, people usually gather together before a Raid or PvP event in an MMO, so my previous complaint was also bullshit. It's just a bit forced for them to sign up in front of everyone so that Death Gun can do his thing.
Basically, I was full of shit.

Star Wars vibe again with all those similar moves and characters. Finally the action where Kirito plays his part.
Too bad that Sinon found out about Kirito's true gender. Would have loved to see some good scenes pertaining the matter.
Seems that Death Gun is from the Laughing Coffin back at SAO. Maybe a joint organization, I don't even know.

Is there any reason why Kazuto didn't entered his real info while registering for BoB tournament?

Why..just why? He should have acted more for a longer time. T_T Sinon going tsun with lots of dere was nice to see. :3 Dat bitch-slap!!!

Dat evil grin. Loving Sinon a lot.

Intense start for the match. But them deflections! Loved the slow animation sequence while deflecting those bullets and that stab attack! Nice visuals! ^^

So who were those guys again with that symbol? IIRC, it was a PK guild from SAO?


And holy shit, this discussion thread is spoiler city. >_>

One of the best episodes yet. The changing room scene was very funny. Kiritos first duel (shootout?) was great. He really isn't used to firing a gun, that sabre action though, sweet. The revelation at the end was very interesting, did not expect it. 5/5

lol it sure didn't take long for Kirito to use his hax ability. Forget super human reflex, it's not even physically possible to swing that fast and deflect all bullets from machine guns. The most surprising part is SAO isn't the first one to go down this route since Aldnoah already went that route 1 week early.
The thing about Aldnoah.Zero is different actually.

Takes an adult to admit that they were wrong, my respects.

As for the group signing, I don't recall if it was explained in the novel, but in that money is on the line, the public group signing makes complete sense. If some unknown player came in and won everything, then there would be rumors of cheating, but to have the players get to actually see their opponents, to prove that they are actual individuals, would go a long way towards validating the game from a perspective POV as well as absolve the company of any potential liability.

Also nothing like Death Gun has ever existed in an MMO, and at the current time no one outside of Kirito's mentor thinks there is something more to Death Gun than a rumor, so there would be no reason for to suspect something like that is going to happen. You have to reverse your thinking, GGO did it this way before Death Gun existed, so odds are Death Gun picked this particular game BECAUSE of the fact.

What's not valid about his criticism?


Because while all criticism is opinion, not all opinion is criticism. Criticism is a higher form of opinion, the core difference is that it explains "why" an opinion is valid. Criticism should be able to spark a debate, opinion does not because since it is personal it has no way of being debated.

To use a metaphor, criticism is like a scientific theory: it can be falsified, the validity of the criticism is how well it can stand up against attempts to disprove it, and the longer it stands up the closer to truth it becomes (though like science, criticism is never "true").; opinion is like faith, it can never be refuted, but that doesn't make it true or gives it any value.

"That writer sucks" is not a criticism, it is an opinion. Explaining "Why" a writer is not very good would be a form of criticism. "There is too much fanservice" likewise is not criticism, it is an opinion. Explaining "how" this show has more fanservice than others would be a form of criticism. For example, ALO had too much fanservice because many scenes were incidental to the story and often they cut important information just so they could have more fanservice. That would be a criticism.

Bluey said:
I've read the SAO part of his books, he is a pretty awful writer tbh, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who's read a few dozen quality books to think he isn't...


That likewise is not a criticism because what does "quality" mean. If you are trying to compare the writer to Tolstoy of course he is horrific, but that is a stupid comparison because 99.999999999999% of all the writers in the world would come off poorly next to Tolstoy. Besides the writer is aiming for the teenage market, so the only real valid critiicsm would be to compare him with other such writers. For instance is he better or worse than the writer Twilight, if so then why. That is criticism.

So this Death Gun is from the dark side ''laughing coffin''.
And it hurts a bit my theory about being Shinkawa. That's because he was online at the same time that the Death Gun guy and at the same location. I believe this would not be possible unless Vader is a G.M.

The Kirito trap was discovered XD

Who knows it may still be shinkawa. Maybe death gun is more than one person. Just my guess. I haven't read the novels or anything

I don't see why that girl got so mad about Kirito being a guy. She was a wearing a bra and underwear, just like you wear bikinis at the beach..? I would've been more interested in WHY he was a guy that looked like a girl.
Anyway, did no one else notice Death Gun? Maybe he had some invisible skill on but come on.. that room was full of people.

the gun shot momentarily halted his movements long enough to be stabbed. Also, assuming he is a "strength" build type, he probably doesn't have enough speed points for quick dodging, at-least w/o prediction lines.

Wow I like the series so far. But wow laughing coffin is back. Or should I say a member? It did bother me throughout sword art online, how they introduced laughing coffin then they showed up a few times then disappeared. Now I can see why. Forgot them by Fairy Dance (I think that's what it was called, its been a while) because they weren't really mentioned. Though I think it's a nice plot twist, making it someone Kirito knew, or someone who knew Kirito, from laughing coffin. It's something I honestly did not expect to happen considering how far back it was.

I get the author is very childish about certain things in an attempt to make fanservice.


I think cause it is full on VR it becomes a point where what actions in VR can the mentality accept and not accept, since it isn't a computer screen but a full immersed and realized world.

Going by the rate, they could probably wrap it up in 10-12 episodes, but that leaves them in a lack of content unless they do filler or they start PA arc but that is a long one that would probably take up 2 cours on its own.

I do love how they used lightsaber SFX

Well because it's laughing coffin and you can't see the face... it opens up the possibility of there being more than one person taking on the mantle of Death Gun.

Or even if there's only one Death Gun, that doesn't mean there can't be other members of Laughing Coffin.

There's only two new male characters introduced in the show, and it seems pretty obvious at least one of them has to be up to no good.
