Kirito triggered a flag with Sinon :)

Also, I do find the light saber sounds and the fact we have a robed guy in a mask that takes deep breaths amusing .

Well, we now know who Death Gun is... it's Kirito's father :P

Sinon getting all embarassed in the video game :D

Fight was epic, but nothing beats dual wielding.

Death Gun = Darth Vader

I think they are stealing data from the registration terminals.

Pretty good episode, I knew it was gonna be hilarious when Sinon found out Kirito is actually a guy. Also didn't expect him to meet meet Deathgun this early maybe it'll be a thing where he appears then disappears in front of Kirito.

Best episode so far and Sinon is one of the best girl in SAO.
I love how she change after knowing the truth about Kirito and Death gun scene was amazing.He/She knows about Kirito from SAO but Kirito is clueless who it is but a member of laughing coffin,Can't wait for more awesome fights to come and the fight Kirito vs Sinon

OK GGO did you have to take your sweet time to be this enjoyably silly. Sinon, you're not Lain to talk about existential issues, especially when you've become a bloodthirsty killer.
The trap reveal scene with half naked Sinon was amusing at least. The "USE THE FORCE" Luke Kirito was also just as amusing as well as flashy.

DESU GUN HAIPUUUU!

5/5 Badly executed as expected, but fun for once hey hey!

Damn. SAO just keeps getting better and better. I wonder how long they can keep this up. It's on a roll right now!!! I wonder if the fact that kirito isn't eligible for the top ranking prizes gonna bite him in the butt later on.

It's time to register for the Bullet of Bullets tournament... HELL YEAH BRO!!!

C'mon Kirito... fall to the dark side of top-ranking prizes... we know you want them... we really do know MWAHAHAHAHA!

Oh well, Kirito didn't get to insert his real data so no top-ranking prizes for him when we he wins the tournament T.T

Of course they had to put Kirito and Sinon in the same they would end up fighting each other in the finals lol.

The dressing room scene was priceless... epic to say the least...

Kirito's clothes have looked almost the same in every game he has played lol.

The "Don't follow me" part was freaking hilarious XD.

Sinon was scary for a moment there with that evil smile of hers.

Kirito's female act was pretty good.

It seems that even the mighty Kirito has trouble in his first battle for a few moments godlike skills to defeat his enemy.

It looks like Death Gun made his appearance and was asking Kirito if he's the real thing. Kirito felt like he knew the guy and then realized that he was also a SAO survivor just like him and considering the tattoo he had, he's part of some organization I'd presume?

this episode watch in "1,3x fine-speed" in VLC + smooth video filter on TV looks awesome :)
especially those slow-motion moment where kirito quickly think how to deflect the bullet by understanding the bullet targeting system.

@kabi-sama
Kirito is an MC with awesome skill. If it was an MMO kiritor will have 999 Int, 999 Vit, 999 str, etc. he think fast, react fast, superb in doing social engineering, remember things like a computer.

Lol'ed at Kirito trying to hang his sword in his back (again). I hope he ends up buying some kind of back holster that will allow him to do it, or else it will just be silly seeing him do that all the time, even though it is funny as hell.

Really good ep. I loved the bit at the end with Death Gun. I did not expect him to be a SAO survivor, much less a former antagonist.

One of the things that I believe was key in this episode, was Kirito not entering his 'real life' data into the system. I believe this was highlighted because it's going to play a role in the future. Maybe it'll be related to how Death Gun kills in the real world.

so if you aim randomly (like most call of duty players) to enemy, those "prediction line" will be very confusing for kirito hahaha :p

This episode seem like 5 minutes. need more.

I think lightsaber should do more damage, I mean it take more than ten seconds to kill. if Kirito slash his opponent's neck will they die instantly?

This is the part where I can't stand. Perhaps what would have been the coolest arc of Aincrad gets glossed over in passing with like a single paragraph.
"oh yea, one of the most vicious player killer guilds in SAO. Oh we totally killed them. Some of them must be out there still really pissed. But whatevs"
I mean come on! The most savage group of player killers whose strength could match front line players in Aincrad? Why wasn't this written about or animated?

Haha, that slap! He really deserved that, but Sinos reaction that he's a guy was funny.
Kirito, of course, won, I already knew it. I also think he might get in the final. But, we'll see that.
Death Gun guy was creepy. It was nice to find out that he's one of the SAO survivors. But which one?

Also, Sinon was a bit scary in this episode. °~°

btw although your HP wont decrease when fighting in "peace area", Sinon slap still show visual damage with a few minutes timeout.

will be hilarious when Sinon start training to drive the motorcycle by herself and keep crashing. All of her body will get visual damage lol

Well, off the top of my head:

-Kirito's super hearing was a skill in Aincrad, so I have no idea how it can transfer to GGO
-Kirito's still acting feminine after being revealed to be male. His dialogue and personality was clearly done for laughs instead of remaining consistent
-Not that is matters, since Kirito was written in a way to school everyone and anyone in any situation regardless of character consistency.
-Laughing Coffin is like the Starlord of SAO - no one knows who they are.
-Reki doesn't seem to be bothered not fleshing out their story arcs for us to care who Laughing Coffin really are.
-As a result, Laughing Coffin is the proverbial Boogieman instead of a well established nemesis

...And this is coming from someone that really liked this episode too =P 4/5

Kirito was a somewhat feminine person in the first place in terms of his insecurity (who just puts up a brave front in everyone else), the first season failed to portray that. Laughing Coffin was explained in great detail, along with how it involves Kirito. The first season failed to portray that. Blame A-1 for inconsistency. As for super hearing, explain what happened in the latest episode.

This episode was alright but felt short.
The action was pretty underwhelming.
I have no idea why would Sinon expect Kirito to make to the finals when he is a new player.

Hopefully this show gets better since I liked last week's episode more than this week's.

Well done episode. Trap Kirito got outed at the most inopportune moment heh. Well might as well get it over now, at least he covered his eyes like a gentleman, though misleading Sinon like that to take advantage of her was in poor taste.

Anyways, it seems Shinkawa dude doesn't like Kirito getting close to his girl hehe.

Battle was ok, a bit drawn out but at least acknowledges the fact that these people have hit points, the shock of getting stabbed must have prevented a counter attack heh.

Ohhh I wonder if Death Gun is PoH from Laughing Coffin. I remember them being made fun of in S1 but they were quite an important bunch backstory wise. Too bad it wasn't extrapolated upon. SAO keeps haunting Kirito :(

Lightsabers... must increase score....
Cheap nerd harem dream abuse.... must keep score down....
Lightsabers... ok, score up to 8/10. Lets hope the support male will actually DO something and derail the harem so I can increase score further.

Still, I know you might have discussed that to death last episode, but how can they introduce lightsabers without license? Isnt that copyright?

if they make proper SAO game for PC or PS4 or Xbox One... im sure lots of story content can be included.

But looking at SAO for PS Vita basically just an "uprezzed" version.. ugh...

Microsoft need to stand and throw money at japanese developer again, like what they done with Xbox 360. They still failed to capture japan market, but they successfully made big-budget JRPG with new studio that was led by "father of Final Fantasy".

EDIT:
or make low budget but awesome "Story-focuse" game like Wolf Among Us, walking dead...

i gotta be honest i was laughing at the death guy scene, an id be laughing if i was playing a game an some guy approached me an talked to me that way with long pauses in between each word, soooo evil, he isnt as laughable as the butterfly man at least so far... im hoping he isnt a character that we ve seen before cause every single male character from season 1 was useless an the Laughing whatever never was a threat
i was expecting Sinon to scream baka before the slap
so wait lightsaber attack is a 1 hit kill? i mean he defeated that guy with one strike, why no one else uses them?

Laughing coffin was a PvP guild in SAO, not a person. It had a bunch of members. So no, laughing coffin didn't die :P

A pro move would have been to change his frickin SAO name to something a bit less conspicuous before transfering to GGO.


The entire point was him trying to get Death Guns attention. And using his SAO name worked.

I wish A-1 would redo season 1 as well. Did A-1 work on season 1? I can't remember, though I doubt it. SAO 2 is so far better than the original SAO.

Nevermind saw that A-1 did infact work on the original SAO. Glad to see that they are learning from there mistakes.

His sister-cousin practices Kendo while he gave up on it. He can -sort of- use a sword in real life, but not in the Kendo sense, it's a different sword style overall but he still with toe-to-toe with Suguha when they had a practice match.
