| Well Sinon finally knows Kirito's a male, didn't expect her to react that way. Guess she's a little more girly than I thought. Who's the creep in the mask? From SAO? Ah, cliffhangers. Kirito was awesome, love the sword and the sounds it made *_* |
 |
| best episode yet. that was one intense confrontation! |
| Me nitpicking: Isn't conflict for the sake of conflict just awesome? If he says sorry and reveals he is infact male then he could've also done it way, way sooner. It's not like you can drag your other equipment into the slot, immidiatly changing it instead of taking the other equipment for no reason off first (they even did that in the first 2 seasons)... but hey, just don't think about it too much. That's just bad writing: Mayor probs to Sinon, though, for not noticing that it still said "MALE" in big letters on the registration screen under his name which was still visiable even after he accepted it and she even looked at it... -_- (dem awareness skillz as sniper) rothrock said: Who's the creep in the mask? From SAO? Ah, cliffhangers. Death Gun from the first episode? The whole reason he is there? The symbol on his arm is from the "Laughing Coffin" PK (player killer) guild he encountered in SAO. |

| Good to see more combat in this episode. Was really good. Still the best part was learning Death Gun was also from SAO and he was a part of Laughing Coffin. I remember seeing someone from that group looking at Kirito in one episode, but it never went anywhere. Same thing with the whole PK group. Not much screen time with those guys. That was just a good twist. Can't wait to see what happens next. |
Korsak said: Oh I did not know that. No wonder kirito was pretty tired at the end of the match with Uemaru.markymark1121 said: So even specific skills transfer between Seed games? whut Wrong. Kirito used the sword skill from SAO, but it wasn't done with game helping. In SAO you only had to start motion for sword skill the rest was done by the system. Here Kirito did everything by himself without help from the game. The same thing happened in ALO but it wasn't as visible like Here. PS. Sorry for bad English it's not my main language. And it's hard to write comment on the Phone. Why they hadn't implemented Tapatalk yet... T.T |
| I think Asuna is Death Gun. |
 Now kids, don't give people your personal information such as your phone number and address across an online game. >Already told Sinon hes actually a guy. #worst trap ever. Just cut your f***ing hair with the lightsaber already. |
~my list| How is taking anyone the bad guy actually serious? I mean, he wears a black skull mask, talks in a Darth Vader voice and calls himself "Death Gun". You play a online game, so you have to think that it's not all too serious and that behind every avatar sits a "normal" human being. My reacton in Kirito's place would've been: "Hahaha, did you buy that mask in the item shop? You look like a cosplayer." |

| that was a pretty baller episode. animation and action were great. the comedy was good when sinon found out about kiritos gender. and that last scene was so tense i love it |
| Kirito is some kind of jedi master |
 |
| There was comedy in this episode? Anyways decent action, and the light saber sounds is lol. |
 |
| Man, this ending made me tense x___x |
Mormegil said: I think Asuna is Death Gun. In a more serious note though, SAO II is on a roll! it just keeps getting better and better. I didn't expect Death Gun to just show up like that, and even less that he would be a member of Laughin Coffin. Until we got: Decent storyline, Very good animation, Great OST, Good chars. Overall, i'm having a lot of fun watching this, let's hope it keeps up like this and doesn't go downhill in the 2nd half, 5/5 |

skullcruncher said: Damn. SAO just keeps getting better and better. I wonder how long they can keep this up. It's on a roll right now!!! I wonder if the fact that kirito isn't eligible for the top ranking prizes gonna bite him in the butt later on. Kirito didn't want to add his real life information like his address and such because other people can see on the screen so basically people will know where he lives and his personal details. |
hyperknees91 said: AzureAlert said: I think you're missing the point of the entire anime... I get the author is very childish about certain things in an attempt to make fanservice. Is it your first time watching anime? |
| Real life info to get the top ranking prizes! Kirito having to show Sinon that he is a male as she was changing and he would have to change too! Sinon being mad and slapping Kirito xD The sound effects of the sword and the looks of it... if only it can ricochet the bullets too! Death Gun being a player of SAO! |

Symqn said: WoW something happened finally after 5 eps maybe he will wake up now  i been ResidentSleeper-ing too till now first episode i sorta liked still couldn't get star wars out of my head watching that last scene hell death gun was even heavy breathing like darth lol and do you even feel pain i would had to be that guy that lost he was yelling non stop as his insides were melting! |
 |
| Best episode so far ! |
SayTitus said: They didn't reveal the person, they revealed that's someone from Laughin Coffin, that already met Kirito and Kirito also met him/her in SAOI'm so pissed off at Gun Gale Online Episode 5 that whole "Mystery Death Gun" person gets revealed right off the bat of the new season... They messed up sooooooooooooooo much right there. I was hoping they would reveal that person in the end. :(((( I swear to god that wasn't supposed to sound that sarcastic |

| Great time to tell her you're a guy, Kirito. It might have been an inopportune moment for Sinon to find out, but I still really hate how they have to drive home the "hates men" aspect of her character. It's clear that she was much friendlier to Kirito he was a girl than she was to all the other guys in her party (in episode 2) or to him after she found out. Of course, being Kirito, he's probably gonna win her over pretty soon anyways but the phase where she has to give him the cold shoulder just because he's a man annoys me. Other than that, the lightsaber (and sounds copied directly from Star Wars) was pretty cool and the return of the Laughing Coffin was a nice twist. I hope we get more of the backstory behind them. |
 |
| Oh shit! Desu gun going frontal approach all the way! Don't do it Desu-kun! It never work at the bar when I go to some girls and whisper in their ear ''Do I know you?''... More seriously, it was a good episode, the best so far IMO. I find it interesting that he's suspecting Sinon to be Death Gun. He will probably start to suspect the real Death Gun himself too, but at the same time, to him, he's only a survivor of SAO that was part of the PK gang. Oh damn, Kirito gender revelation was really funny. I never expected it to happen so soon, so it was great. Kirito pulling out is Jedi OP skill. dat mlg noscope... |

| Good, this just keeps getting better and better. In season 1 it was much irregular for me in the first five episodes. The cat's already out of the bag(DAT Sinon reaction), Kirito wins the first match and meets Death Gun. Who is a member of that PK guild in SAO. That was unexpected, but nice. Maybe it will continue to show up in the next seasons(if not destroyed in this one). Well, or maybe that's just me wrongly assuming that said guild is something that did not end with the first game. |
| While the locker room scene may be unncessary (though what exactly is necesary is questionable, and it did serve a point), i don't get why it's questionable that people would do that. MMOs strife to emulate real life. Obviously not in all aspects, otherwise you wouldn't need to play an MMO, but overall mechanics, yes. Heck, all games are getting closer and closer. You can not really undress in games yet because clothing is extremely hard to do right. We can not even freely put on a hat yet, and stuff like shirts or trousers are in a complete different league. I bet there are internal demos with reduced graphics/just the model or even only wireframe that play around with that though. Then we have VR, which is kinda be self-describing. Virtual Reality. Again, if it would be exactly like reality, there would be no point, but it should feel like it *could* be real. There are other games like Black & White or From Dust that use mouse gestures to use spells etc., so you do not have to use buttons etc., some games use voice commands, there are experiments with controlling games with your brain. Or take the Wii, or Kinect etc. Lots of technology to make games work more like real life. With the technology shown in SAO, it should be possible to get rid of a user interface completely - after all, fighting already works completely without (besides the health bar, but damage is also displayed on the model itself). It's probably because the author didn't think it through completely, didn't want it to be *too* strange from today's systems. In universe, iit could be a left over from older system (e.g., what we have today). For most things that we can not do on our own without a computer, a UI is obviously more convenient or even required. And all this effort, and then you simply switch between casual and combat outfit on the fly? Long story short: The locker room scene made sense, including the reaction. |
CrimBlacklotus said: Why did Sinon get so hostile towards Kirito after finding out he is male IRL? Because he tricked her into believing that he's a girl. |
|
| Ooh didn't think I'd get it right. When Kirito commented about having met Death Gun in the past, the image of the Laughing Coffin guys popped in my mind. Insignificant achievement for the day completed :D I don't trust Sinon's friend. The nice and weak looking guys are almost always hiding something sinister. |

CrimBlacklotus said: -Riptide- said: Because he tricked her into believing that he's a girl. He didn't really trick her though.... She just thought that he was a chick. Let me rephrase that. Kirito let her believe that he was a girl. Remember last ep when Kirito acted all girly to enforce his identity as a girl to Sinon. |
|
| Lol, Sinon found out Trapito is actually a guy! Awkward... At least Kirito's pretty funny when teasing Sinon in front of Spiegel. So first match and Kirito uses his tracking skill and his bullet-deflecting lightsaber to win. But the thing is, after the match, Kirito meets Darth Vader, or most commonly known as Death Gun. And Death Gun happens to be a member of the Laughing Coffin, meaning he's an SAO survivor. Watch out, Kirito. Death Gun got skillz. |
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. |
CrimBlacklotus said: -Riptide- said: Let me rephrase that. Kirito let her believe that he was a girl. Remember last ep when Kirito acted all girly to enforce his identity as a girl to Sinon. So what? It is a MMORPG, so doing something that would act "out of character" isn't uncommon. There is nothing in my opinion that would warrant her hostility towards Kirito. Kirito was just having fun. He didn't necessarily state that he was a female so I also don't fault him. Sinon isn't particularly friendly towards guys right? Remember in ep 2 that she doesn't even join the conversation of her group. The only reason Sinon became friendly to Kirito because she thought he was a girl and girls playing GGO are rare. And Kirito knew that Sinon thinks he's a girl. He used that to make Sinon help her with getting used to GGO. |

| Good episode. Didn't expect Death Gun to be a SAO survivor and a Laughing Coffin member as well. I admit,I am not a big fan of SAO but this is the very few times in SAO I look forward to watch the next episode. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

He used that to make Sinon help her with getting used to GGO. Kirito doesn't know that Sinon is uncomfortable with guys. He just thought that maybe in general, he would use his Avatar as an advantage. Disclosing anything personally to someone in an MMORPG is usually a taboo unless you got to know them a bit. Kirito and Sinon don't know anything about each other. If I am playing a MMORPG and suddenly say things that most people generally don't care like: .. "hey I am 17 years old" while my party is fighting monsters, most people would probably react with: "lol ok" or something to that extent. IT wasn't unreasonable for Kirito to not disclose any information IRL to Sinon. Wait we're getting a bit off topic here. We were arguing why Sinon was mad. Not whether what Kirito did was right or wrong. So since Sinon doesn't socialize with guys except for Spiegel, of course she would be mad that a girl she just met turned out to be a guy that took advantage of her misunderstanding Kirito's gender. |

I am just discussing whether it was reasonable for Sinon to be so hostile after Kirito revealed to her. It would be reasonable to be shock a bit, but being a dick afterwards was unwarranted. Kirito is a guy. Sinon isn't friendly with guys. Hence her being cold to Kirito. |

| cmon Kirito, provoke him more... |
| i hope Sinon doesn't become another damsel in distress like Asuna. Then suddenly falling in love with him b/c he saved her hide. |
