They are really trying too hard to portray Sinon as a weak damsel in distress. Why did they remove the scene where she held the model gun and pointed it at Shinkawa?

Edit: Oh my god, Hanae Natsuki (Shinkawa) tweeted 'Asadasannnnnnnn' AHAHAHA

That was some fight though. Then again, the rest of the episode took creepy to another level.

The one after that, possibly, but more likely, that will be Caliber, and maybe the one after that too (2 episodes for Caliber, 8 for MR).

In the novel, yes. The model gun in her drawer was a prize she won from the previous BoB tournament.

It was a good episode, but one that was also hard to watch. Great in the beginning, but I wish Sinon/Asada would've snapped out of it sooner, they let that freak talk a little too much. Maybe they just wanted her feeling of hopelessness to sink in a little. Meh. Kirito comes to save the day again like a badass.

Learning Death Gun's name from the mission brief to ambush Laughing Coffin!
That no scope threat by Sinon!
That smile Sinon had when she presented her bomb ^^ making them both winners.
Shinkawa having love that is beyond possessive and being one the the Death Guns!
With the syringe and him keep on calling Asada-san with that face >.> That was creepy...
Kirito coming in to save Sinon! Would been nice if Sinon was able to leave her home at least by herself. At least she did snap herself out of it and retaliated back.

These guys really r nailing it soooo goood :O

The first half was really amazingly animated!!! The dodging scenes were really well done. And his realization of Zaza's true name was nice. Loved how they showed Kirito's black swordsman mode every time he was going for his finishing hits and gun shots. BA epic! :D Nice to see Sinon helping too with her experience :)

Dem slow motion scenes too :D And that cutting in half!!

The Present grenade was so lol with both of them blowing up together XD Sinon's smile and Kirito's wry grin were lol XD

Also lol'd so much at Kleine and co's pointy messy hair when they saw the ending of the game was a hug with another girl XD

The 2nd half was really so well adapted! It was just as creepy and disturbing as I imagined it in the LNs. Reki sure loves his rapists <_< XD

Shinkawa went completely insane and Yandere there!!! Props to his VA and Sinon's. Sawashiro Miyuki FTW <3

Dat Kirito Knee in the face was BA win!!

Oh hell when i saw that creep it reminded me of Oberon and what he did to Asuna back in ALO. I dont want to be reminded of that Thank you :(

Anyway very interesting episode the battle was great but to short. As for the rest they spent a little to much time with him talking but i can handle most of it.

I will admit it SAO is not the best series ever as some people want to make it but it is still a good series. The second season so far is far better than the first big time. it still has its flaws but it has improved.

Hmm so next week will be the final ep for GGO arc. i predict that Caliber will be next with 3 episodes and MR after it to adapt the 7 last epsidoes which is perfect since it is one LN volume long. i hope it will be adapted properly cause it is my favorite arc :)

The one which looks the same as the one with which she killed a guy in the post office? I thought that was also a model gun. Or maybe the same model gun she got from previous BoB. Novel readers can correct me if I'm wrong.

I think so, I mean, their hair was rather messy or something, i had to pause to laugh, LOL

Great episode as expected, would've liked Sinon to point model gun against Shinkawa but oh well, there's still next chapter to end Phantom Bullet and im waiting for it~

As for the fight, awesomeness. I think Shinkawa's past will be shown next chapter, if they don't skip it ofc.

Sinon's gun is a model one so it can't shoot. Im ready to read people saying Sinon joined the Harem because of that hug or whatever, cmon, im waiting for you, lawl.

I got King oberon vibes again u know the bastard in the first season of SAO who kidnapped Asuna. I dont want to be reminded of him thank you :(.

Both Seasons have their flaws for sure but never the less i still enjoy them. the second season so far is definitely an improvement over the first. I predict the next one after 14 would focus 3 episodes on Caliber and the last 7 on MR which is my favorite arc.

I just wish more people would not be so difficult. To much Badmouthing or to much Praising. cant they just admit it has both qualities and move on. it is getting annoying.

It's not Sword Art Online if there's not an attempted rape. That's why such work is studied in Japan's university, this actually makes a lot of sense.

Nope, another Phantom Bullet episode.



Most likely the end of the Phantom Bullet arc. The way this episode ended, next episode could be the final one.



Shinkawa was even more creepier than the ALO weird guy. He needs a Batista Bomb to understand Sinon is off limits to him.

Hands off Shinkawa





Death Gun gets sliced in half xD
Kind of expected Death Gun to own Kirito a little bit more. I'm surprised Kirito was able to remember who DG was. Well hopefully next episode we can see Sinon meet Asuna.

You'd think with a title like 'Phantom Bullet' it would mean the end of the arc. Well, at the very least I can guarantee the next episode will be the last.

The one giant complaint I have with both SAO and ALO was the way that they ended the game. All this time I just wanted to see it all end with Kirito winning a proper duel fair and square instead of some metaphorical bullshit. But with this I finally got that ending I wanted. From the turning point in the fight right up to the amazing double suicide finish I had a massive grin on my face.

If I did have a problem with the episode it would be what came after. The confrontation between Shino and Shinkawa in the real world was incredibly uncomfortable to watch. I suppose it does a good job of tying up all the loose plot threads and the uncomfortable atmosphere was probably what they were going for but from a purely personal perspective I really didn't enjoy watching it. I suppose the one criticism I can make is that the scene probably dragged a little bit longer than it needed to.

But overall it was a solid episode and I can't wait to see the conclusion next week.

He probably already raped her while she had the headgear on.

I suspected that guy when he first appeared. A love interest for a member of Kirito's harem? No way.

hmmm .. I can see it happening. Sinon trying to backup kirito cause she can't let him down after all the things he did. Slow motion scenes, the model gun, flashbacks and tears. But in the end everyone will be hugging each other, maybe a quick kiss and an upset asuna? To finish my 'prediction', death gun won't die. He will just get arrested or whatever.

ps: I don't watch the manga, so no spoilers pls :) (or use the spoiler tag) Predictions are fine

That Kirito vs Death Gun fight was good, but ended too quickly.

That was soooooooooo intense. And that guy's face actually reminded me of a titan from attack on titan LOL

It probably doesn't mean anything. I doubt they can even adapt all of that in 10 episodes. At the pace they're going it'd be much more sensible to leave it until the next season.

Great episode, got some of that epic fighting between Death Gun and Kirito we were promised in the OP. Next ep, 14, is last of GGO just like 14 was last of SAO. Big question is where to go from there. Early and Late? or Mother's Rosario? I'm guessing Early and Late then Mother's Rosario with a hint of Alicization to come for the eventual season 3.

So one of the main antagonists is yet again another 1D sociopath. Should've guessed it since this is SAO after all. We didn't even explore his background due to the "mystery" that was Desudesu Gan. The reveal didn't even feel exciting or intriguing at all, not to mention the mediocre action that was accompanying it.

Looks like Sinon managed to fall into Kirito's evergrowing harem, that was inevitable.

Kirito also managed to perfectly decuct DG's in-game name while facing him in CQC. It doesn't matter if he's getting beat up, it's still a very hard feat to pull while facing those circumstances.

On top of all that, the show wanted to pull off another rape scene. Don't let that scare you though, Kirito would surely never let that happen while he's around to save the day.

I/m pretty sure Shinkawa got in since one of Sinon's locks wasn't attached to the door. Right when Sinon runs to the door, the chain lock was hanging down. Sinon said she put all these locks on before she entered the BoB tournament.

The Kirito V Deathgun fight was a little lackluster. And they certanily nailed the creeper status of the friend. But yeah, i had a feeling they left something out, and it was the model gun scene.
Oh well, at lease we get to see kirito beat the shit out of that kid.
