Why did it have to end on such a cliffhanger like that? I have to wait a week for this? It isn't fair.

Can't help but note an issue with Death Gun's plan: Everyone spectating will see his name as soon he kills someone, and I'm sure that there will be VODs of this tournament afterward. Once people put 2 and 2 together, the company running GGO would go belly-up if they didn't release his information to the authorities.

Also this whole being bothered about killing the laughing coffin people would be so much more convincing if that battle had actually been part of season 1 (I gladly would have given all of AOL to have gotten to see that story arc instead).

The issue is best resolved by remembering that only Kirito, Government Guy, and the viewers know that when DG kills someone in a game they die in real life.

Also, remember that when Kirito signed in he did not have to give any personal information. DG obviously went the same route, so there is no information for the Company to give.

Third, how would the game be liable? The game itself doesn't kill people. To blame GGO for people's death would be like blaming McDonalds should someone get killed in their store.

In the first novel it is mentioned, but not really expanded upon. When the first season was made there was no assurance that there would be a SAOII, so why would they focus on it?

Finally, BoB starts. Isn't it going to become really obvious who Death Gun is by looking on the map? I know there's that 15 minute delay, but still. A person can only move so far in a short amount of time. Sinon is such a tsundere.
about that no (Sinon said nobody was in a 1 km proximity so either he went skinny dipping like Kirito or he has a mantle of invisibility) but i felt this ep was pretty rushed
I know, but I mean after. I doubt they'll do it in the next ep, but if they just kinda follow Death Gun a bit, they could probably see who he is. He can't stay underwater forever.

maybe he have superpower like mario that can swim underwater forever.

because when we saw "Whoa! crazy maneouver that white guy do". easily explained by the anime with "he have high acrobatic skill"

But people do hold McDonalds liable when they get injured. Some one sued McDonalds because they accidentally spilled hot coffee on themselves and got burned. BTW, McDonalds lost and paid the lady millions.

Again, people most be shocked to see Kirito and Sinon team up again. I would go all ''CONSPIRACY!!!'' if I was them.

Kirito-chan doing some Kirito-chan shenanigans again. He's such a best girl.
Also, all those people watching the stream... Looking at Kirito... Getting naked in the river... Didn't they noticed something wrong?

If kirito is smart,
Death Gun identity are now easy to get :D
1. we know that from 3 names, one of them is Death Star.
2. logout and contact the cyber police investigation team
3. let the police get personal data for this 3 person.
4. get the game-log and match the time with previous incident
5. profit.


btw i dont get it how can Death Star have awesome weapon that considered as "mythical" no body even sure it is "real"?

isnt normally MMO will have fansite full of weapon database? be it from gameplay or pulled from game files.

In the light novel they explained that the cameras only follow people that are fighting, and not just randomly anyone. It makes sense since I wouldn't want to watch a guy walk for 30 minutes without anything happening.

Damn that cliffhanger.

Kind of felt rush, but still a good episode. Kirito with the fanservice this episode. Wonder how long he was holding his breath for? The pale guy had some crazy ass movements. I knew Death Gun would show up. Sinon need to hurry up and shoot.

I wonder if next episode they both going to jump down there and fight Death gun?

Two things:
1) In the coffee case it was the store's product that caused the damage, this is not the case in GGO, this is why my example was people being shot in the store.

2) Most of what people remember about the McDonald Coffee example is mostly inaccurate:

Honestly, why IS he trying to charm the guys?
That was just unnecessary.
I don't mind the swimming scene too much, but the "Cheer for me"...

Other than that, Sinon finds out Kirito is from "that game" and Death Gun appears!
He's trying to kill the other guy, shoot him quickly!

"Sterben" is the german word for "to die", I'm pretty sure he is Death Gun.

Death Gun must have some time of active camouflage like in Halo or did something similar like Kirito to not been picked up on the map when Sinon checked it. DG's sniper sounds very dangerous, even to Sinon who is a pro sniper. Next episode should be another good one.

I think Death Gun must be Sterben, since that word means "to die" in German. Of course it could be a coincidence too...

I'm pretty sure the bit in the lift is a Neon Genesis Evangelion reference, lol. Sinon does some pretty good tsun tsun, but she's clearly not in the Asuka category yet.

Well, now they've encountered Death Gun in a match I wonder if they can foil his/her plans next episode.

Death Gun's ingame name must be Sterben. I mean, pretty logical since with it meaning "to die" in German. And we all know the Japanese fondness of the German language.

Best part of the episode haha. It had to be intentional...although it makes me wonder why they did it. Sinon is pretty Tsun but ignoring that comparing Kirito to Rei is pretty strange. Kinda seemed like they just threw it in there because they could...was still pretty entertaining.

Kirito seduced more men than Asuna will ever do xD


I wanted that acrobatic guy to be in the final 4. He had potential to make the battle great, but too bad Death Gun had to go all hardcore. Stun Gun, then coldly shooting him. Here I thought the Acrobatic guy would be Death Gun since the way he killed that cowboy dude.

I'm still wondering how Death Gun managed to still hidden from the satellite.

10/10 episode. The bat crazy chicks in SAO have finally turned Kirito gay! He is now actively recruiting for his new harem. The fan girl within me is feeling so giddy and excited that Kirito has finally seen the light!

In all seriousness, that cliff hanger actually makes me want to watch the next episode.

unexpectedly death gun has a good sniper, to think that he will always use his hand gun, and first i thought that his hand gun named "death gun" too
