With this episode, Sinon just became the most weak and pathetic female character thus far in the series. Asuna is plenty strong. Especially in the next arc that will most likely be animated after GGO. She is basically Asuna 2.0 starts off strong then goes downhill from there. Is it just me or does every girl that comes into contact with Kirito suddenly become retarded? it's like their legs go numb, their brains turn to mush and their IQs drop by 10-20 points. |

| Next episode: The Meaning of Strength Sounds quite fitting with the themes of today's episode. |
 |
| This was a nice episode, they finally told each other about their murder. I hope they will reveal the identity of death gun in the next episode. |

If we're just talking opinion that's fine, but providing some reference to the show itself would make your case a lot stronger than emotional ranting. It wasn't emotional. If you like it, that's fine. There's people for everything. As for reference... My take on Sinon's character is self-explanatory. If you didn't see it, just rewatch and analize. If you still don't see it, then I may just be more picky about what I watch than you are. Kirito's character started decently in the first season, developed for a few episodes and then started plummeting. In this season, he's been increasingly becoming more of a Gary Stu with no brain and inserted lines. Hell, probably the most unbelievable and overlooked thing in this episode was when he picked up the rifle and grenade, with his crappy aim became the first person to hit DG not once but twice, while running. The drama was hilarious because of how badly it was delivered. Sinon bordering on bipolar was just boring and Kirito could've been a static frame without making any difference. Happy? I'm not trying to make you agree with me, but that's what I saw. Feel free to disregard, not planning on putting any more of my time into this discussion. The bolded was what I was looking for. You can ask Reyxe, I'm not exactly the biggest fan of this series. I just want criticism to be actual examples that can be discussed, not general statements. |

| they told each other about their past a little bonding in there |

Also, I seriously hope GGO's arc end is done perfectly just like the LN, i loved that scene, was really touching. |
| Kirito's harem getting bigger when he already has a girlfriend, sighh. inb4 she finds out about Asuna and gets </3 |
 |
I may sound like a white knight, but I really just want to hug and console Sinon. I get so attached too broken characters, I want to tell them everything is okay and let them cry in my arms. |
| I rather see a character comming off of an explosing looking like a baddas killing machine than hear someone saying "He jumped off of his horse". It was a bit disapointing. How come this is not tagged as harem yet? |

| Badassery can only take a character so far.. There's more to a character than being a 24/7 badass doing things to keep you pleased As for the episode 3/5 the second half was better .. I like seeing characters talk out their problems.. Sure some of it was cringeworthy but the scenes were necessary but I forgot this is SAO.. If Kirito takes a shit people will bitch |
| Kirito saving Sinon just in time, as expected. I wish we would've seen more of Musketeer X, she was hot af. I hope the scene where Sinon lies on top of Kirito's lap is broadcasted, so his harem sees it >:D |

| *****SPOILER****** Asuna is DeathGun *****SPOILER****** Let's hope that Asuna won't see what happens in that cave. |
 |
| Oh my god... Sinon is a damsel in distress.... nooooooo :( Seriously. and Kirito is using his teleport hacks to always save the cute girls in trouble adding them to his collection... Kirito and his cliche lecture was.... cliche god the whole motorcycle interaction was so stupid I became depressed, I was yelling at the screen to SHOOT THE DAMN GUY ITS A F**KING GAME, 'how can he stay calm in a situation like this?' Oh sinon... its JUST A GAMe. 'giving it all he has?' No he is just a pervert who used the situation to touch sinon, like he always touches her, filthy molester. |
| I am a human. |
| Aw ffs she annoy me. . my heart is cold, that drama cant even warm it.. |
 |
| Well, that ep was expected. But it was "ok" nonetheless. |

If Kirito takes a shit people will bitch Lol that might be true =P I would like to say though that while it is necessary for Kirito and Sinon to talk it out, hearing about Sinon's trauma for the third time is getting really repetitive. SAO is about as subtle as a pink elephant with a sign on it's butt reading "this is a pink elephant". To the show's credit, I really dug one scene last episode where Kirito hinted at playing SAO and Sinon got it without prying into his personal life. The subtlety was subsequently ruined when he brought it back up again this episode, but what can you do? =P |

You do have to remember that in this game, Death Gun can literally kill you. |
Xway101 ~By me~ |
| Sinon needs to check out Barbie online, might be a better fit for her. |
| Once again, Kirito saves the day. Not surprised that the trauma kicked in. They both told their stories which for them, were the same. |
| When they was in the cave I thought Shinon was gonna pull a Asuna and switch to her lingerie. |
zetsubousei_hero said: When they was in the cave I thought Shinon was gonna pull a Asuna and switch to her lingerie. Lol at that "Asuna". Anyway, I hope the two won't develop romantic feelings for each other. If that happens, hell will be unleashed. |

| Nice Episode, now they both know each other past which is a good thing and good to know that Kirito saved Sinon. |

| This episode felt kinda slow. Though I feel bad for poor Sinon. |
 |
| SAO II is good so far, but maybe it's...boring so far? It just seems like we've delved into Sinon's past way too much time and time again , we know the story. Plus the Laughing Coffin stuff...can we just move on from this already? |
People are strange, when you're a stranger |
| The episode felt slow to me as well, but... eh, that's character development for ya. While we knew everything about Kiritio and Sinon, they didn't know anything about eachother. I seriously don't understand why Sinon "hates" the guy and acts so bipolar. Don't tell me it's still because he faked his gender for a little while. You'd think her getting spared and later saved by him would have made a difference, but nooooo, there has to be a tsundere in the show. I found it kinda funny how Kirito just mentions some elite rifle chick (who looked like Moka, by the way) that he defeated on his way back. I also found DG on a MyLittlePony funny as well. Well, i kinda hope we find out who he is already.. 4/5. |

| The angst in this episode is really high. Made me cringe but at the same time, I remembered trauma isn't something so simple. Very minor gripe: The mounts system is kind of bothering me. So is the horse really supposed to be faster than the 3-wheel bike but more difficult to control than the already difficult to control bike? The mounts kind of seem pointless if they have such high reqs to control lol. I'd like to see more of Musketeer-san! :D |

| Kirito's harem is real. Finally they tell each other their backstories. Now some progress. The pacing is just way too slow. When does Aliciazation or whatever start anyways?!?!? 5/5 though. Good episode. Man... it was to be expected... Kirito coming to save Sinon. |

| and again shinon is confirmed as best girl over SAO. It was an okay episode, not too good nor too bad |

| Good thing Asuna is currently logged out and is not watching the BoB. |

darkreaver94 said: Silver4000 said: I don't understand if the others are always watching them or not... Anyways, good episode, but they are forcing the talk again. Don't think the audience can watch it. The camera will not be able to reach them since they are hiding inside a cave. Even if it does, hardly anyone will bother watching an overdramatic scene. If they're using cameras... probably. I was thinking on the view from the player perspective. But you must be right. There's a couple of people who would be interested, fans and etc. |
| Wow sinon turned annoying as hell this episode. Super boring episode, is sinon retarded? if she was really scared she could have killed herself after they escaped and logged out. |

You can't log out in the tournament even if you're dead. You'll have to wait for the tournament to finish before you are able to log out. That's why Sinon suggested to Kirito to kill themselves when there are only three left because that would end the tournament and they would be able to log out after that. Edit: ninja'd |

| Urgghh, starting to hate Sinon. |

| This episode felt like some confession in a church. The drama was way to edgy and over-the-top for my liking. Death Gun is pretty much saving GGO. But light novel readers like me know what type of villain he is. I wont spoil that though. 2/5. The chase was legit though. |

Edit: ninja'd Well, that sucks. You're telling me the dead ones have to stay laying down real time for the rest of the tournament that, I don't know, could last for hours? They can't even surrender? What a shitty rule. I can't remember if they are only able to just lie in the place where there are killed. I'm hoping they could at least watch the tournament from some room like what Kirito's harem are doing. |
