ANd that would be a problem if this was action show. this is not an action show.

3/5 for this.
The eps itself is good, but Sinon's ass shots are too much. Really ruined the mood -_-
Her original character design wasn't that revealing. Come on A-1, I don't want my favorite character potrayed as a slut. She wasn't like that at all in the novel.

In the novel, the mood at the cave were tense as they are speculating lots of possibilities. But in the anime, Kirito miraculously knew everything after looking at Sinon's ass -_-


It would not be MAL without slutshaming. *sigh*

Nice ep. Sinon was still a bit like, "Help me, Kirito" in this ep, but not as bad as last week. That fanservice, agh. Need Asuna's reaction to Kirito x Sinon. Really hate this ALO stuff, does anyone actually care for it? It just takes up valuable screen time. Does getting killed in real life show in the game? Like do they feel it?

To tell the truth, I only noticed Sinon's butt this episode.
So the truth behind the pk is reveladed, at least in theory, and a camera caught them on the cave.

The whole episode went by in the cave :/
I am just wondering why Kirito doesn't just log out and alarm people of what's happening, rushing to Sinon's place and catching that bastard, instead of defating Death Gun and obviously lettin the man in Sinon's room disappear.
I suppose that would kill the Tournament and the author wants the tournament. Seriously, I am trying to like SAO, event ho I absolutely hating the first season and even though I really liked almost everything about the second one, now this nonsense doesn't stand well with me.

That shit with servers being by an overseas company also puzzles me. Okay, so people die playing THEIR game yet this fabulous company just "stays overseas not giving a crap", yet japanese intelligence is investigating it? Oookay.

Sword art online should have ended at episode 14 first season. It was the only good season. Like it more that they would all die and was stuck in that world. Romance and action was better also (like swords).

Ah... might have missed that. But even that's kinda weird. So if he needs to pee he just pees in his bed ? I mean if you think about it as a real person living in the real world, this kind of restraining ingame limit is kinda bull.

I couldn't stop laughing when he looked at her buttcrack and was suddenly enlightned xD
Yeah, I know, he saw that she didn't had her pistol anymore, but the camera angle was too funny.

''Oh. Look a camera. You know, we could take another position to lower the misunderstandingm, butt who cares? Except my girlfriend...''

So they are two people to execute their plan. Well, I guess it make sense. Though, it's still weird that they can't see it in an autopsy.

So using Kirito's theory, Death Gun can only have a few specific targets in the tournament, as any targets would have needed to fit the following critiera:

1. They live in close enough proximity that his partner can get to them in time for the kill.
2. They have been confirmed (probably by some quality stalking) to be living alone, in a house/apartment with a certain type of outdated electronic lock.
3. He has to stalk specific targets in game at certain times as he must kill them in the order he has planned with his partner, and not before an agreed upon time.

Naturally there are some plot holes involved:

1. How do they know that any physical locks on a target's house/apartment aren't set (as any signs of forced entry would ruin the illusion that they were killed by an in-game bullet)?
2. If they are carefully selecting targets who could die in real life and no one would think to check on them until they had decomposed (as, again, the illusion would be ruined if police/medical examiners could determine the real cause of death), then why would they choose a schoolgirl (are they really trying to argue that if a student doesn't show up to class for multiple weeks, no one would check her apartment/notify police)?

The show made it sound like Kirito was only theorizing, so are we as viewers supposed to accept Kirito's theories as facts or what? I just find it hard to believe he had an epiphany and figured Death Gun's plans so easily... especially after looking at Sinon's ass.

Of course I'm kidding about the last part, but Kirito figuring stuff out didn't feel clever but forced. It didn't feel like a revelation, but just a dragged out info dump. Wish they could have made the discovery much more gradual so it doesn't come off as Kirito having a lightbulb go off and suddenly putting all the puzzle pieces together, puzzle pieces that he didn't even gather yet (like a second death gun invading into another person's apartment, knowing what kind of locks people have, etc.).

I liked the fact that the ALO characters have figured stuff out too. Was wondering for awhile what the point of them were in this arc.

Meh episode, especially after a pretty repetitive episode last week.

the mood felt awkward when Sinon could be in danger of dying and yet we're still seeing ass shots of her.

Other than that, nice episode.

Sinnon is a confirmed lone who has pretty much no friends and is a social outcast, so she fits the pattern.

A good thief can break in without the signs of breaking in as long as the locks are simple enough

Lots of Sinon's rear this episode. Kirito finds out that DG works in a pair and that there is probably someone in Sinon's room waiting to drug her. Next episode could be the long awaited one.

Confirmed to live alone, but the other question still remains: if a high school student didn't attend school for a couple weeks or more consecutively (as would be necessary for adequate decomposure), would the school do nothing? Also, if they were doing their homework they would have known that she does have at least one IRL friend.

I'm pleased witht the explanation about Death Gun and his methods but the episoode could have used some action to flesh it out.

At least they cant drag it out any longer so heres to non-stop action until the finish.

They scouted the locations before they attacked. So its reversed, they had a list of players, found out which of those met their criteria and then selected those to kill.

I loved the episode. I will say that I was a little surprised at all the ass shots but I enjoyed it lol.
I have a question though, maybe I missed something but is Kiritos arm injured? Maybe I misinterpreted things but I saw him hold it as if it were injured.

Anyway, I can't wait for next week. With the and aldnoah zero, next weekend will be epic!

They are taking the worst plan ever. I have a better plan.
Step 1: Kirito gets Shino's information and dies or forces a log out (since he can't log out manually)
Step 2: Kirito tells police where she lives and there is a guy waiting to killer her
Step 3: Police silently raid the building (preferably with paramedics in the background just in case) and take in the accomplise
Step 4: (This part is a little shaky but still better then their current plan) get partner to turn on friend by offering deal
Step 5: arrest Death Gun
Step 6: Profit

Their plan will logically not work. Kirito is in a secured hospital and did not enter his information into the box. So Death Gun has no insentive to go after him because he won't be able to shoot him, and if he did and his accomplise somehow learned where he was and tried to break in, he'd be caught in minutes. Death Gun has plenty of insentive to go after Shinon though, I mean the guy is already set up in their room. He's going to ignore Kirito, and go after Shinon if they want to use logic.

This is a good show but the amount of faulty logic in this episode boggles my mind. If anyone can prove my logic wrong please do.

He was shot last episode. They didn't show it, but they did show the orange injury marker when he picked Shion up and got her out of the arena.

The animation implied that DG had shot him, but that wasn't the case in the novel. Muskateer X was the one who shot him.

Alright, I'll give that he can't log out, but I also maintain he will have no interest in going after Kirito. He won't be able to do anything (secured hospital, no information). Is there no way in the game to send an SOS message, maybe try to get someone to disconnect him while he is in game. And if there is no way to send an SOS to the developer's or something. I'll give that this plan now makes logical sense. Still a little contrived, but its better.

Edit: also there is a way to log out. They say the atmosphere can't do any damage to the brain, so all it would take is one person taking it off and bam he's out. Maybe he can try to get a message to the guy who hired him in a code, or just say get me out while the cams are looking at him.

"couple weeks"... isn't it enough to be decomposed already? ....................... even if the school would do something, it would happen after one week, or something, just enough time for the drug to disappear

Death Gun will still attack Kirito cause he have a personal grudge against him, also, he won't be able to take Sinon down until Kirito is gone.
