It's not usual for a tsundere to take such a long nap on the main character before the begin of their relation. I kinda hoped a Pk from the killer guild :p

Nice episode. Dual Blade, epic moment. I thought that Asuna died because of the time she spent on Kirito but it seems that this is not the case, too bad: p
to me it looked like she was taking a nap ._.

Yeah, long hugging is okay, but what Asuna did looked like she went sleeping to me.


She went afk.

Love the episode very friggin much imo it was 10/10 overall , starting from Back Ground Music , Action , Hugs , Facial lovely expressions of lizbet & really kirito was so amazing in this episode so kewl, i loved how asuna showed so much emotional expressions and feelings for kirito in this episode how she shared food, rushed to save the solidiers so he went to save her even tho Klein said i loved how u went to save the solidiers i think he went only for asuna cuz of the flashback reminding him of sachi =) , well anyway really best episode so far, can't wait for the next episode to see if asuna will stay with kirito and kirito will remain a solo player or he will join the guild eventually ;) regards sao fans <3 .

Definitely not, you can clearly see the Kirito was being an S in the boss fight.

I wish they showed what the situation in the real world is like, anyone with me on that? Would be a lot more interesting than most of the goings on of the show so far.

That's good to hear, although I still think they should show it every few episodes, if only briefly. Just to increase the tension and remind the viewers of the gravity of the situation. I for one, only feel slightly sad when people die, and I think the lack of real world coverage is partially to blame for that.

I wonder, why he had such a problem with hp? Didn't he possess some sort of regeneration... like a Battle Healing, which was introduced few episodes ago?

Oh wait, it was side story that brought up many inconsistencies, which in turn were not in main story.

I wonder if anyone bothers to read a script for this anime.

Meh, I guess I should spare myself this adaptation stuff. Reading stuff has an advantage of me compensating with imagination.

May come back to check if there is a flame war going on though.

Whatever I write is most likely my opinion, which is based on information I learnt, not universal truth.
You may disagree.


MAL forums are more entertaining than anime themselves.

The HP thing has been mentioned several times. You can simply say, that this point of the game, the amount of HP he healed solo-ing that boss would have not matter at all in the amount of time he had fought it. He's not a tank.

As for flame wars, we have 30 pages.

It wasn't a bad episode. To be honest, I figured Kirito had dual this entire time. A man with such a high levels and many secrets, doesn't surprise me. When he almost died, I was pretty shocked. I noticed the regeneration of his HP was mentioned here. It also confuses me how it didn't regenerate. I assume with a boss, he'll loss more HP than if a regular enemy, but he still should have regenerated a bit more.

Oh well, overthinking will get me no where.

About the regenerating when he did in the side story he was likely about 30+ levels above the other players.
lets say at lvl ten you did 10 damage a hit and he regened 50 hp every second because of the level advantage they had no hope to beat the regen

but well the boss was his level if not higher so it would hit at 300 so thats why it seems like it did not regen.

If you played diablo III, you would be able to understand the difference between normal, nightmare, hell and inferno :P, just sayin, and apply it to SAO.

"I'm better at using swords than words."

AWESOME! Finally, I get to see this dual blade skill that I've accidentally spoiled for myself. And Asuna was so adorable. :D

Looking forward to the duel with Heathcliff.

Let’s stir up a little this thread with some stuff from a rather good bitching theme of fan service itself. I did not really bother but hey it’s always fun to point it out no matter how small. At least that is my new little bitching of it. Better than before, so just mentioning it and wonder what people see it as. In the list
  • If you notice in the spoiler
    Asuna has a more ass definition with the linings being conveniently placed and while Kirito’s foot is rather well placed to feel up that one cheek of Asuna. Anyone can see that one.

  • Breast rubbing in the spoiler
    clearly there. Does it not take much but a look to see the breasts are being pressed for a moment there. I just looped it.
So that being said I get 2 notions here easily:

1. A warrior after a fight risking his life deserves a good night with his woman.

2. Most likely a deep romance that leads on sexual notions it shown out like that with obvious Asuna appeals such as the fine linings.

Well that’s understandable and the other reasons but just though of mentioning it as I did not really do so before when I first saw it.

And so what do others think of this?

Other than that I recognize and give PROPS to the series for the following,

looking forward to AWESOME POSES! That is thee most impressive among many impressive poses list. It's going in that list for sure. Needs more of those kick ass poses!

Holy shit the battle was good. Kirito's awesomeness mixed together with Kajiura music was absolute gold.

I'm starting to warm up to Kirito x Asuna. But still poor Liz.

don't bother asking, its not even we LN readers know what it specifically dropped, and for some strange reason they hid the reward from our sight in the anime......suspicious <_<


That's because the answer would have blown you away:



They were so unlucky it didn't drop anything.

It's just funny because no one cares about the drops from this high level boss but Kirito is still walking away with his first floor cloak on.. Maybe he merged the item with something else to keep the look? >:

He's not wearing the "Cloak of Midnight" anymore. The one he's wearing is a customized black leather coat made by one of the few beautiful known girls in SAO.

Ep9 reaction:-

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MESSED WITH THE WRONG MAN LIKE KIRITO!

Damn it, I still couldn't forget about what happened in episode 3 like Sachi died till it just couldn't let go all in my head (Idk why i'm always repeated myself all the time since i'm an autistic by the way.).

Awesome dual blades!
I actually perfectly fine Kirito being Gary Stu or whatever because he is badass~
I like how Liz showed up again in this ep.

Ah, anyway, I still dislike Asuna and it got worse after seeing this ep.... TT_TT

And for the hug.... I thought her reaction is too much... ah I don't know but, is her feelings for Kirito that deep? or am I missing something? I thougt they rarely talk/met or is it just because the timeskip?

I don't know but I feel that the current Asuna is really different from Asuna in the 2nd ep... I know people change but... Ah, don't bother this, hehe I'm just being stupid ==;

Aaaand for the last part, Kirito is going to fight Heathcliff right?
And here I thought, why Asuna didn't said anything to defend Kirito? She is the one who want to go with Kirito and ditch Kuradeel, and she even said to Kirito that it's fine and she would talk to the commander, but in the end, she drag him into her problem,

Looking forward to the next ep~

This is precisely why it's so stupid. It reminds me of "Last piece of cake, who wants it? I guess you'll have to kill me for it" and that's not a good thing.
