| Doing that hair flip Kirito? "Sinon-neechan?" Becoming more and more girly each episode. O_o "You guys...Cheer for me!" Good job Kirito! You had them fooled. Bwahahaha, wishing...fans to cheer for...him. Really good trap there. xDDD Gee, I wonder who these Gunner X, Pale Rider, Sterben could be?! Pining down Sinon? Watch out, Asuna is stalking ya'll. "Going underwater and swimming naked lets you avoid being tracked. Taking note." Wow, DG has a sniper with a silencer, interesting. |
| Not bad. I like the satellite scanner that gives away player's position every 15 minutes. Adds a new dimension to the game and lol @ Kirito still pretending to be a trap |
| Goosebumps everywhere! That was pretty intense, can't wait for the next one! I'm curious to who Death Gun is. It seems like from now onward it'll be more fast-paced. |
| I just LMAO when Kirito says "Cheer for me," in his girlish voice XD. I liked how they explained thoroughly on the tournament gameplay and their instructions on how to win. Damn it why did it have to stop right there :(. |
| Gosh, first few mins was horrible. Sinon on her period, ffs just move on with the Kirito seeing you half naked incident. Trapito fanservice. *facepalm* Another cliffhanger, well done. Can't wait for more. |

| I have one question, in the 1st episode Death Gun kill Zexceed with shooting his picture on the screen, so if Death Gun wants to kill Kirito why doesn't he watch the live match and then shoot Kirito when he is on display,it's a sure kill, no risk of having yourself killed in action :D |
I'm old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway |
| Well damn, that white guy on the bridge has some sweet moves, but Death Gun is on some next lvl with that OP rifle. |

Well, she was about to shoot him but couldn't, lol... [this is a joke, before the huge shitstorm begins] Kirito-chan so cute.

 Yes |
| Finally it started still the fights are boring Kirito is getting worse and worse in each ep. Dont see this season coming close to SAO 1 arc. |
 |
| So Kirito is requesting intel on the players and how the round will pan out from Sinon hehe. LOL, Kirito-chan spotted XD. HAHAHAHA, Kirito-chan used his charms to gain the favor of the crowd XD. So the map is huge and they'll receive a satellite that can detect other players once every 15 minutes hm. Hmmm, Kirito told Sinon a part of his story from SAO and reason as to why he was acting weird. Nice shot there Sinon. I wonder if Pale Rider is Death Gun hmmm... considering how athletic he is probably not lol. The real Death Gun makes his appearance lol. Freaking cliffhangers... always the cliffhangers... |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| I'd say this is the first SAO: II episode that was honest with itself. Most of the episode, all I stared at were butts, and a naked guy [edited thank you Reyxe for clarifying the gender of Kirito's avatar; my sexuality is being questioned, mew] who looks extremely feminine. Oh, and did I mention the fanservice that detracts the anime from its plot? |

| Of course Kirito would find a way around the satellite check, should have known that was going to happen. I think now Sinon has a sense that Kirito survived SAO and so is more accepting of him now. Death Gun stalking players from the shadows all scary like, but surely he can't just go around shooting all the contestants with the death gun, that'd be a lot of deaths and a lot of suspicions! Good episode, hopefully we get a showdown with Death Gun next episode. |
 |
| Thank God they picked up the pace in this episode. it was ok, not really great. |
| Only good part of the episode: |
| Oooooooooh so that pistol is... |
| That fanservice was so unnecessary and retarded... |
| Wow. There was Kirito fanservice..I think. Anyways, this was an interesting episode. Those pale guy's moves were glorious. They have a real opportunity to shoot Death Gun. But will they succeed? Aargh, I already can't wait for the next episode!! |

Well, this is SAO after all... |
| Didn't like the beginning of this episode, but the end with Death Gun was amazing. So much suspense! Idk how but that part really gave me thrills. The first really good ep this season imo. Hope they can keep this up. The fanservice was stupid tho but nothing else to expect from SAO in this regard, so I'll just ignore it as best as I can. |

| Fanservice was stupid. Certainly tainted the majority of the episode. The ending was quite good and a great cliffhanger to end off on. |
| shait getting real!!! GIMME next episde. Finally it's getting hyped and exciting |

Oh, and did I mention the fanservice that detracts the anime from its plot? Which naked girl? Kirito's avatar is male, for god sake. |
| Wow... what a place to end the episode... |
| Lol, Kirito-chan & Sinon-neesan. So much fanservice in this episode. We have naked Kirito swimming in a river to avoid satellite scan. And we have Sinon's ass. So we have three people who could be Death Gun: Gunner X, Pale Rider, & Sterben. Who could it be? Well, it's definitely not Pale Rider 'cause the real Death Gun just shot him. As people mentioned, Sterben does mean "to die" in German. Bet's on him. Also, I wonder how Death Gun avoided the scans. Did he swim naked like Kirito or maybe he has some sort of camouflage device that avoids even satellite scan? Freakin' cliffhanger. Shoot him, Sinon! Shoot him! |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| Holy shit o_o Death Gun was just standing there for so long. |

Gantsz said: Reyxe said: Which naked girl? Kirito's avatar is male, for god sake. Kirito's avatar in GGO is not male, it's a female. See, Kirito was listening to some really great Glitch Hop and rewrote the code upon transferring his ALO character to GGO, which made his avatar a girl. Notice the Kirito Trap going on this episode? Yepp. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Kirito's avatar isn't female, go and rewatch the episodes, they even SHOWED his avatar and it said MALE, if you are going to do some critic, do it properly, pay attention or you end up just looking bad. Btw, i've read till volume 14 of the LN, so im pretty sure is a MALE with feminine looks. |
| Guys, I am not sure if I am breaking any rules by asking this, but I am in a pinch. I want to read SAO LN but it was deleted from baka-tsuki, and now I can't find it anywhere. Any idea where I could read it, if you have it msg me. |

| Thing are picking up again! Finally. This series does action very well, talking not so much... |

genesic123 said: Why doesnt anyone in GGO give a damn about Death Gun? Im rooting for him.Kill off such a stupid playerbase who would let themselves be killed. Though he wont stand a chance against Jesus Kirito.=( Do we really need to see naked female Jesus ? Hmm... Because he doesn't have name in participants list ? I don't like those fanservices either but It isn't annoy me that much. |
| Omg dat Trapito xD This whole B.o.B. turned out much more interesting than I thought. I like the map. Desu Gan you creep. Wtf, that cliffhanger .. damn. |
genesic123 said: SayonaraSelena said: Hmm... Because he doesn't have name in participants list ? I don't like those fanservices either but It isn't annoy me that much. But people recognize his appearance. Actually If you read the LN you will know why nobody recognize his appearance. I don't want to spoil so I just stop it here. |
This episode was satisfactory. I was hoping for some more profound meanings as appeared in the other episodes, but in terms of covering the plot and such, this episode did a good job. I'm surprised that Kirito was willing to reveal a bit about Death Gun to Sinon, and that she was quick enough to realize what he was talking about. But imagine how she sees him. Yes, he's strong with a sword, yes, he has remarkable skills, but outside of fighting, he appears to Sinon as just some bewildered person constantly terrified and running from something. To her, Kirito doesn't really belong in this world, full of grit and harsh ends, where a simple bullet to the head means the end. Kirito can appear fragile at times, and that's why I think Sinon gets frustrated with him. In real life, Asada is like how Kirito can sometimes be in GGO; she's also running from her past and she's constantly terrified of people who are stronger than her. The real life is certainly just as harsh, even more so at certain points, than Gun Gale Online. A bullet to the head doesn't mean your character loses, it means that you're dead too. That's something Asada learned when she had to shoot the bank robber. In Gun Gale Online, Asada can learn to be strong. She can learn to shoot people without feeling any compunction, adopt a cold exterior, because at the end of the day, it's just a game and nobody is actually dying in real life. To Asada, shooting people can also symbolize the strength to do anything without worrying about what will happen, and in GGO, she doesn't have to worry. Yet a sniper spends much of their time running. Rarely do they take a direct offensive, instead preferring to hide in the shadows and attack from there. So how strong is Sinon, really? Both Asada and Kazuto, having killed people before, guaranteed that they would not go home to their families if they had any, are still bound by moral conscience. Sinon could have easily shot Kirito when he pinned her to the ground, but she didn't because of some sort of conflict that we could see within her. She's willing to kill people to protect others that she is closer to, but additionally, Kirito is someone who appears innocent to her. I imagine she'll have some difficulty killing him because it'll be like killing Asada. I have some doubts as to whether Sinon will actually shoot Death Gun because she doesn't know who he really is, and even so, she could very well miss because the skills gained in other VRMMORPGS carry over to others, so since Death Gun also played SAO, he would have greater agility in GGO, just like Kirito does. We'll see. But I doubt that even killing Death Gun in GGO will stop him. |

Takuan_Soho said: Airveen said: why would you drink in a virutal game? wtf A drink can stimulate certain parts of the brain so that it is like tasting the drink or eating the food. Of course it has no nutritional value, but it does have the social benefits (it gives you something to do instead of just sitting there). The novels get into this a bit more. The games in this series are not VR games, they are full immersion games. So all senses can be triggered by what you do in the game. All but core somatic sensations |
