Wait, so this flashback happened during the real SAO, or after the events of ALO where they said they will finish 100 floors of SAO?

Since Kirito mentioned he killed 3 guys, means it is on the SAO death game... but the guy survived so its on the second part probably.
real SAO...or they wouldnt take it so seroiously dont you think?

It is really pathetic to accuse me for something you are doing.
And the novels aren't irrelevant the moment you mention the author.

Now, I could easily prove that it was in the first volume of SAO, and make you and those imaginary fans you created look dumb, but another user already did, but you probably thought that you could avoid it by replying only to me.

I wanted to see more of Sinon's fights.

I'm a bit annoyed by the newly invented SAO flashback... Was that supposed to be before or after he killed Asuna's stalker? Pretty bad strategy. If I was in Laughing Coffin, I'd have figured they wouldn't want to kill anyone either. Fight on!

Kirito, you smooth harem-master you. That romance-grab on Sinon... woa.

Again talk about yourself before you talk about me, like check your "sources" about the novels. I have shit memory, you have made up claims. Who is the struggling kid again?

The episode was alright :D the tournament however felt dull due to the lack of both sides showing their skills.

Great episode that showed the extent of Kirito's PTSD from SAO which in turn has made him very relatable to by Sinon as she has finally found someone in similar circumstances to her. I look forward to Kirito explaining his SAO days to Sinon!

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.
SAO II is turning out to be quite interesting

Both of them are taking GGO too seriously. Unlike SAO its just a game! Though Kirito should have kept his word and tried hard from the beginning.

this was an o.k. ep, but I found Kirito and Sinon's first bout both melodramatic and anti-climactic.

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.


Lol Somebody hasn't seen DBZ. The fact that he's only a beast in a virtual world puts him bellow most acton Shonen protagonists. Plus there are anime where characters literally become gods in their universe.

I'm a bit unsure about what I think of the series thus far, this episode had the fabled line where Kirito says;

"If that bullet could also kill a player in the real world... and if you didn't shoot them... you or someone you love would be killed... could you still pull the trigger?"

This line is wasted on a character like Sinon, who doesn't even realize the gravity of Kirito's words.

Just seemed terribly melodramatic for SAO. The character Sinon and her entire backstory just seems so uninteresting to me, versus the first season of Kirito battling for his life.

Wait, what? Sinon, in real life, killed someone by shooting them to stop herself and someone she loved being killed. The whole point of that line was that Sinon and Kirito had a shared experience of exactly that situation. (It doesn't matter that Kirito's was in a game, because the death was real.)

Kirito getting a special character model. Kirito being OP at dodging bullets. Kirito being able to ride a vehicle no one else can.

Not special model, just rare.

Not OP, just AGI-character.

Am I the only one who think that this show failed hard at it's psychological approach? It was a mess. Sinon is just another female character made up to be in Kirito's harem. He was down before and all of the sudden after a speech he was like "oh yeah yer right lets fite srsly" and performed an inhuman feat, well Kirito is not a normal human I guess.

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.

unused scenes from the original sword art online!!! sick flashback, but makes me wonder, why would they leave this out from the original? Something that has so much impact, something meaningful and badass was left out!

Too bad they don't know his address!! Kirito the man-boy, he's too strong. Too powerful. Too skilled.

Interesting to see Kirito's flashback and dwell on the lives that were lost and those that he had taken. The Laughing Coffin reveal triggers Kirito's psychological issues, and then Sinon's insecurities come out after Kirito beats her which causes him to respond with a reveal of his issues which in turn endears both of them together a bit more. Well done. But still, being able to slash that bullet seemed excessively OP. Wonder if the light novel had an allusions to the fact that he had that kind of skill that the anime excluded.

Interesting flashback there.... gets us closer to the identity of Death Gun :O

Though, the fight at the end(arguably) was a bit of dampener.

Okay episode, considering a lot of action, well sort of, it wasn't all that exciting.

Yeah Kirito and Sinon fight could have been better. But it was cool how he sliced her bullet in half.

Asuna would not like the way Kirito was holding Sinon lol. Are we ever gonna see Asuna again? I kinda thought she'd follow Kirito in to GGO.

That was a great flashback to SAO. Now that I've seen it, I wish the original SAO had more stuff like that though! Kirito's freakout was good too, and now I'm really interested in trying to figure out who Deathgun is. Sinon is a great character, seems like she is also going to fall for Kirito though

the PTSD feels like a really late addition, seeing how Kirito didn't suffer from any during ALO when he mercilessly slaughtered more than a few of his opponents. Also COME ON!!! there should be a ceiling to the ridiculousness the anime should expect us to believe. A Sniper at that close a range is more or less point-blank, you expect us believe Kirito is faster than that Agent Smith who got shot by Trinity.

PUH-LEASE!
