I'm so happy there are 16 more episodes, especially now that Kirito has found Death Gun.

I expect Sinon will either not fire, or somehow miss but I don't care. I'm loving it! ^_^

Im actually kind of saddened that there isnt a Kirito vs Pale Rider acrobatic battle.
The push down scene was a bit akward though.
This episode is a good example of how they should do this seires

Just as I thought, Death Gun is sneaky like hell and it shows in his attacking style. Does he have the Cloak of Invisibility or what? Sniper gun with a silencer aptly named Silent Assassin? He does looks scarily strong though... gasps

Pale Rider is pretty cool, I thought he looked like somebody, just couldn't remember Silver Crow till I read the thread lol. That crazy speed and agility didn''t look far from Kirito's, got to wonder if he has a back story, another SAO survivor perhaps?

Damn the drama is so forced..... (forced drama is amazuing 11/10, would laugh again)


From this anime we learn how to best get a girl - just be an annoying jerk dressing up as a girl and just try to piss off the girl as much as you can by sexually molesting her, 100% chance of getting the girl.



Kiriotototo is going to show off his one-handed sword skills which he had trained for years alone with his PC in the attic of his house while his little sugu-incest-whore-chan was watching him training his right hand, it went through tough intense sessions. (of training of course) that is why Kirititoaptaatotot is invincible, all because of years of practice. EVEN I try to be like him, he is my role model. Now that I think about it, from all that training it wouldn't surprise me if his dick fell off.

That scene of Kirito diving in the nude was so unnecessary. I mean, that was one hell of a weirdly deformed chest he had there. They seriously shouldn't go over board with that whole Traprito service.

That ninja dude's moves were awesome. And Death Gun's appearance well done. Damn, that cliffhanger.

Pale Rider was good. He probably deserved to win the BoB. Death Gun strikes another one. Again with the cliffhanger. I wonder if Pale Rider survives. If he doesn't, what a waste of a good player.

Sinon got ASS-Fanservice XD



I swear the director has a seriously unhealthy obsession with camel toes and ass cracks. Seriously has there been a single episode of this show with none of either???

Kirito playing the trap was funny as heck, but I don't get how the rest of the GGO community doesn't already know that his Avatar isn't male though. Didn't someone offer to buy it off of him before knowing that it was for males? Given that he qualified for the BoB, and his unique fighting style, that would make him quite famous, no? Woudln't his secret already be out?

Sinon playing hard to get, yet whenever the Shouta comes asking for help, she gives it. Must be the pretty face and the bad boy demeanor.

Wondering how Death Gun managed to cloak his presence from the map. Kirito was underwater, but that dude just showed up out of nowhere, he wasn't even on the map. That said I think he'd already set up everything and was aiming for that Pale Rider guy from the get-go. You get the feeling that to kill someone off in real life, a lot of things need to be prepared beforehand. It wouldn't surprise me if he only kills off that Pale Rider guy before getting shot down in the match, just to further his legend of killing people in the real world.

That cliffhanger at the end was so unfair.... now we gotta wait for an entire week. Bleh.

Wouldn't shooting Pale Rider achieve the same, with a higher chance of success? If his character is dead, it would get moved, and Death Gun can not shoot him.

Given that he can not move the chance would be greater, and the distance is basically the same (maybe it's even half a meter closer, depending on where exactly everyone is).

They do not bet on Death Gun having some kind of spider sense and moving way earlier than other people, but on him getting hit, so that is no argument, either (though Death Gun probably *has* some kind of spider sense..he wouldn't simply get shot).

Well... that Kirito fanservice o.O BTW one of the new players participating in BBO nick was "Sterben". If I remember correcetly it means "to die" in german. Could it be Death Gun? Anyways it seems we're getting closer to the end of GGO which is kind of sad. The beginnging was very slow and now they're rushing things ;/

If you pay attention you can see Dyne is still there on the floor next to Death Gun and Pale Rider even after he was "killed." Not only him but all the other players too; their in-game avatars remain where they die.

Alright episode, til the ending. o-o When it really just.....pumped me up! :3
That was some cool shooting going on, and then how Dyne was owning? x3 Sweet!
...But....he later gets owned by the acrobatic looking guy.....Pale something. I forgot his name already. :P PFFT!

But anyways, it seems that...Death Gun was hiding the whole time (CREEPY!) and he shot the Pale dude with silence, zappy thingy. xD It knocked him to the floor, paralyzed, and....Death Gun doesn't use his epic looking gun...but he uses a normal, realistic looking hand gun? o-o
Oh boy....what's gonna happen next? D:

If Kirito was thinking logically, then that probably would be the smarter decision, but given the situation Kirito was in, I think most people would have gone after the "killer" rather than the "victim".

From a story telling perspective, I think this is better because it shows that Kirito isn't perfect, he is panicking in this scene, but that is in keeping with his character. He is a "chop first" ask questions later type of person (which is why he ended up killing two Laughing Coffin members but at the same time was able to beat Kabaya), so for him to sit back and rationally analyze the situation would have been out of character and would have given the "Kirito is a Stu" people something to ACTUALLY complain about :-)

Let's see. The dead characters stay on the floor after they "die" in-game then it wouldn't work, they can get killed anyways, then the most reliable option was to kill Death Gun. Even if the "corpses" from the characters disappeared the most reliable option would still be killing Death Gun before he could kill the other player because Kirito wants to keep everyone alive (I mean alive in "real life").
Not that difficult to realize if you think for a bit.

I have the feeling that the reason Kirito keeps asking Sinon for help is so that we, the people watching the anime, can be aware of the rules. If the author made it so that Kirito knew all of the answers, we wouldn't know how the game is working, so by having Kirito ask Sinon about the rules, we also know the rules in turn. And if this isn't the case, she's giving in because she sees no reason not to. He keeps begging and bothering her really annoyingly, may as well just answer his questions.

Eheh..And well doesn't Kirito have good reason to be leagues above the others? His training schedule back in SAO was rigid. It doesn't talk about it in the anime, but basically most of his two years of being stuck in SAO consisted of him training and raising his stats most of the day. It's pretty much all he did. For two years. Even the people who play GGO can't have played that long, because they have to take breaks and feed themselves. They haven't had as much time to train as Kirito who was a very avid player even among all of the SAO players. He was a training maniac. It's no wonder that he's strong.
^But honestly I guess what I just said is no excuse for the anime, but I guess that would waste episode time to clear up the fact that Kirito is strong.

I liked the episode. I am glad we are getting into the meat of the GGO arc. I am tiring of Kirito's psyche. It was fine to humanize him some and show his struggles, but I feel that it has become the focus of every episode. At some point I want less complaining and sulking. He has to become mentally stronger at some point.

The guy in the white suit had a very similar fighting style to Kirito - dodging shots, etc. Held the shotgun like a sword and used it close range as well. Possibly another convert?

Question! The satellite scan only passes every 15 minutes right? Does that mean players can only check every 15 minutes or can they check as many times as they like but the map status won't be updated until the next scan? I mean they could have solved who the cloaked guy is right then and there.

Loved the episode. I'm freaking out a bit right now, because I'm almost sure that Death Gun will either dodge Sinon's bullet, Sinon will just miss, Sinon won't shoot at all, or the one dude will die because of Death Gun.
I'm a little confused though... Kirito could have Sinon shoot either of the two guys. If she hits the stunned dude in time, then I don't think Death Gun can kill him, right?

Also, I'm trying to figure out who Death Gun is... I'm leaning towards someone in the episode with Silica maybe?

Since he doesn't know how DG kills people, there is no way to be sure that it wouldn't just be a waste because he coyld be able to kill them when thei sprite is still on the ground. Also, the FIRST shot from a sniper doesn't have a prediction line. Shooting PR would take back this advantage from Kirito and Shinon, and if you suppose that DG is skilled (he should be, given is stuff) may cause problem. And for pretty much nothing siince you can't even be sure that what you did saved Pale Rider beforehand.

Very good episode. Poor Pale Rider, he was pretty skilled, i hope he doesn't die. Trapito swimming was unnecessary, but oh well. Great cliffhanger, can't wait for next week.

How funny would it be if Death Gun actually got sniped and died right there...
