Wonder if Death Gun is linked at all with the person Shiro killed, or if the gun was just a coincidence. Interested to see who he is from LC though, wonder if we've actually met him or not - he seems to be pretty anti-Kirito for someone who probably isn't

Looking forward to seeing Kirito jump out of nowhere and save Shiro (or maybe even Gunner X?) next ep. Because she can't die... Right? :( That Stealth is pretty OP though - wonder if Death Gun is even officially part of the tournament.

There is no reason for Kirito to shoot Sinon;
He has no idea how the Death Gun works, and even knows that it doesn't need to directly hit a target in order to kill them (see: first episode when he shoots that TV in the game).
So, there is no proof that Sinon's dead body isn't vulnerable to getting shot by Death Gun, as bodies will remain in place for some time after being defeated.


Judging by the fact that the bullet that killed Pale Rider IRL didn't actually kill his character (you see the health bar tick down a bit but not to zero or anything), I think it's a safe assumption to say that the gun doesn't really work by the game's actual parameters. It isn't like SAO, at least.

Going from this assumption, I'd say that a bullet from the gun would most likely kill her even if it shot her defeated body. Nothing substantial to back up that claim or anything, though.

You all are making me mad about the meaning of Sterben.... EXACT DEFINITION and why he is named that.

Etymology
From Old High German sterban, from Proto-Germanic *sterbaną, itself either from Proto-Indo-European *(s)terp- (“to lose force; lose sensibility, become numb; be dead, be motionless”) or from *sterbʰ- (“to be stiff, become stiff”).

Thus much like death. Thus the name. Stop making up stuff peps!

F ing cheaters everywhere, Sinoon nooo, i presume she'l die , her mind will stuck in ggo or something like that and kirito will revive her, because he was talking about making digital persons to real world or something like that , so that will happen or kirito will get killed in the end of the show and he'l became digital person.

As soon as Sinon got hit with the stun needle she should've logged out.

This wasn't explained in the anime, but in the LN it is explained that you can't log out during the tournament. And even if you die, your body will not disappear, it will just laying there with "dead" tag on it. Player who died will still show up on satellite scan.

You can't log out? That seems like a really strange rule. Could you explain (I don't care about spoilers) the reasoning if there was any in the LN?

I really want Sinon to die. But, SAO II spend quite a time on this character, she even had special episodes dedicated to her, if she dies there won't be much of the story left.

Creepy deathgun.

I'm waiting for Kirito.
But then it's a cliffhanger again.
I'll wait for the next episode.

I don't really remember if there is any explanation to that. It's been a while since I read the LN. The point is that you can't log out, and like I said before, even if you die, your body and weapons remains on the field. Others players are able to locate your dead body with the satellite (Notice that Dyne remains on the map after he died). Thus, allowing them to take and use your weapons during the tournament. (Notice that even after Pale Rider got disconnected, his shotgun remains on the field.)

I can only think that this rule allows surviving players to use others' weapons in case they ran out of ammo. Fyi, Sinon for example, can only carry six Hecate II's magazines with her at a time. But she's a sniper so it doesn't matter much. But how about those who uses assault riffle or SMG ?

The only way to get out of the tournament is to get disconnected. But you'll automatically be on the bottom of the BoB ranking. Actually, if I remember right, you won't even get a ranking.

Meh episode.

And with the cliff-hanger it's a lose-lose situation IMHO. In the very unlikely event that Sinon as a main character does die, things will actually finally become interesting in this show. However, if this happens and she really does die, then one of the only remotely interesting characters in the entire series goes *poof*.

And of course if she's still alive (let's face it, 99% possibility that this will happen in one way or another), SAO continues to be its usual predictable bore fest self.

People being surprised that someone would watch "game within game" do not seem to realize that that IS one of the most looked-forward applications of VR with idea of "VR theaters" since it allows for bigger screens to be seen than you could ever own and allows to "share" the watching experience by sitting together with people who are miles away.

I thought it was her imagination at first, like how people have flashbacks or altered perceptions of reality when confronted with their greatest fears.

The ending, no Kirito do not let Sinon die! Death Gun using the same gun as from Sinons past trauma, I did not expect that. Actually a lot in this episode I did not expect. The action scenes are still superb. 10/10 episode

So this season of SAO is really not what I was expecting. It's really much better than what I thought it would be. NEVER thought that SAO would be able to get back on the right track (never know what may happen tho, halft season left). Sinon wont die of course, question is only if Kirito shoots, or if she manages to pick her gun up (thinking about that adrenaline thing)? Please dont, Kirito..

I think Sinon would die, to make the this more interesting.
But GGO season showed too much of Sinon to give her this kind of a early death. Sad.

Death Gun already has the power to kill people from within the game. They could've thought that he might be hacking and not appear on the minimap.

Kirito and her his mad sword skills. Have a feeling Sinon will get a sudden adrenaline boost and snap out of the stun. Either that or Kirito has a damsel-in-distress radar and will come and save the day.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN
