Why is Kirito having such problems now for some reason?
Why are they adding stuff from the past in convenience?
Why are there no guards at the hospital Kirito is in (remember the logic of how Death Gun kills people?)?
Why is Kirito being able to hear people running miles away?
Why is a stray bullet able to knock down half the building lol?
Why is Kirito trying to make asscrack feel good when she clearly is shit?
Why are things so god damn convenient all the time? Asuna remembering shit that we the audiance never ever got to see or hear about until now?
Why do they think someone would throw a grenade in their cave given how large the map and how unlikely it is for someone to find them so fast?
Why is Kirito shit with his light saber all of a sudden?
Why are in-game mechanics being pulled out of someones ass?
Why is Kirito holding his hand over his wound? It's not like he feels realistic pain -.-
Why so few ass scenes in this episode? *disappointed*
Why am I still watching this piece of crap?

Ha, I fucking knew it, really!! I don't know German, but I knew that "Sterben" is German and that it means something close to death or something. Japanese really loves German.
See, that's why names are important. Let's see what will happen.

The sniper bullets passing each other hitting both scopes, that was pretty cool :)

I've just realized.. two players died already and a very mysterious death at that. They conducted thorough research and investigation and somehow they missed the fact that someone broke into those victim's apartments. How can they miss that?

The thing that bothers me the most about this arc is that the backstory is kind of a retcon. It doesn't really change anything from the SAO arc, and it makes sense that Kirito and company would attack LC to save people. But we never saw that happen. The main villain of this arc has a history with Kirito we are only hearing about now during this arc. It just feels kind of...not lazy, but like something come up with last minute to give the arc more impact? I can't think of a way for the author to have done it better (I doubt the thought this far ahead when he was writing the first LN), but it still kind of annoys me that they added in that conflict with LC and just made us accept it.

A slow start but things definitely picked up. The finale should prove interesting.

Meh, this was average at best.

2nd best BoB player goes down pretty quick with no real battle.

Both sniper rifles get destroyed, at the same time... Odds of that one...

And, in my opinion, a bunch of bantering back and fourth which results in not really much at all happening.

So that's what Sterben means, to die in German. Well, sounded German. The word sounded vaguely familiar.

That was really awesome, especially the end.

Wow, Death Gun is fast with his sword.

Plus Kirito doesn't know his name because he told him not to tell him in SAO, so it's his own fault that this isn't easier lol.

Asuna and Yui on the phone at the hospital too.

Man,the whole encounter with Kirito meeting death gun way back in the sword art online arc is such bs. You can't find that flashback in the first fourteen episodes in sword art online. This show.....

Sterben = Dying
Tod = Death
Don't know if this was an error on the subbers' part.

Anyway, so seriously the answer to the big mystery is "I send someoen in real life over who killed you and the police was too dumb to notice that"? I really can't get over this O_O

Not much of a surprise that Death Gun was Sterben. At least if you understand German, gotta love when Japan uses german language.
just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it?

As a german that wasn't really surprising for me :D

From a visual POV this episode was quite nice.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

According to Asuna back in SAO he was Steven, not really Sterben? "Steven is that you?" I'm having SAO parody flashbacks, sorry. LOL Or maybe Asuna got it wrong too because she doesn't know it was German all along?

Space battleship armor eh? Hmm from the very frames of Uchuu senkan Yamato then? LOL

why they didn't show that flash back before is cause of timing, its better to reveal some stuff near end of the arc or series to give more impact, complaining about this is like complaining about mystery anime, about why they didn't revealed who the culprit is from the beginning, so it was done right

A lot of dialogue considering this is Sword Art Online. The fight went on, great. Aaaaand at the end we got the reason Kirito-sama doesn't remember him.

So, Kirito never wanted his real name and "Sterben" in German means death lol. What I really liked from this episode was the sniper bullets passing each other hitting both scopes. It was really cool if u ask me.

So apparently stats are disregarded here. Kirito can dodge a damn sniper bullet 10 meters in front of you but can't even see someone's sword go through you. He's fighting a former Laughing Coffin member who got caught while Kirito is the SAO victor who's probably the highest level. The hell is this shit?

Nice follow-up. Although Yui feels too convenient at this point, there's no reason as to why she can control electronic objects in the real world.

Nice flashback at the end, it was so good. Let's see how "Phantom Bullet" ends!
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!
