I have no idea what Heathcliff did in order to win.

Even the romantic scenes kind of suck because of the art.

Yeah it was hard to understand but since I read the novels I knew what he did.
Copypasta from the novels on that part:


And yeah the art really sucks but it was nice to see Asuna getting flustered like that.
And Sachi ;_;

Oh man, I should probably read the novels and the Accel World novels, too, the manga is so far behind and this one will be no different.

Was that Heathcliffs unique skill or is he even without it a badass?

Wait, who is Sachi, did I miss something?

The SAO novels are fully translated up to the latest volume(vol9) with vol10 coming out at the same time as the anime. Also, you should read the sidestory 'Aria in the Starless Night' as that will be in the anime as well.
AW's novels are really far behind on translations though. The current arc in the anime is fully translated though.

Holy Sword is in a sense similar to Dual Blades. He can use the shield to attack and execute Sword Skills.
As for what he did, that's for later.

It's for later as well but she's the one in Kirito's flashbacks(page 9 on the chapter on MangaFox)
Sachi ;_;

Might read the novels before the anime starts to air, I usually prepare myself like that for upcoming adaptations. At which point should I read the sidestory, though?

Hmm, how the hell was I supposed to get that from the panels. Seriously, the artist should be fired.

Thanks, so Sachi is the girl he couldn't save. Kirito met Cline in those past two years, way before the boss battle, right?

Well it's a sidestory so I think you can read it during or after reading volume 2 since it's about SAO.

Well the manga did say that Heathcliff used his shield to attack so that was something. Though it didn't say that it was a Sword Skill since the novels specified it had a light effect when he executed it, indicating it's a skill.

Yeah. It's a bit tragic really Sachi ;_;
And yes Cline is that guy he met two years before when the game started.

After volume 2, that was what I wanted to know, thanks!

My question about Cline was a bit misleading, sorry. I wondered if they ever met again in those two years that had been skipped?

Great stuff. Nice twist in the end with Mr. Paladin. Reading the 3rd Volume of SAO now. :3

Ah I see that's why I felt the arts was kind of odd.
