| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol, Kirito and his lightsaber proton sword skills. Eh for some reason, I kinda knew they would use some flashbacks. They didn't waste time attacking Daeth Gun though. Oh boy, Sinon got shot in the leg. I bet she wasn't expecting that at all. Dat cliffhanger.  |

| All those characters in another wold can check the game out? The girls also saw that creepy attack. That guy realized about Sinon's shot and the girls' watching the broadcast(?), and he named himself the enemy of the arc, Death Gun. Asuna sensed who he is from the past? After knowing who he is, she decided to work together. It seems like Asuna starts to get involve with GGO. No, Sinon... |

| "It's show time." |
| Kirito got the moves like Jagger... |
 In the words of the great Ron Burgundy, "Boy, that escalated quickly!" At least for SAO2 standards. Cliffhangers galore. Hold on Sinon! Don't let go! We need to see your ass again next week. |

| Good episode. I hope Sinon doesn't die. |

| Dat cliffhanger. If you havnt read the books, that is a big cliffhanger. Oh and btw, Sinon best girl #2014 #Yolo! |
| I hope Sinon becomes a plot twist maker with her death |
 |
| Damn exciting episode! Kirito's super jedi skills during the encounter in the middle of the episode gave me goosebumps for some reason. Well animated, exciting music, just a great scene. Of course I expected bad stuff to happen as soon as they split up.. Will Sinon die? Cliffhanger! :O But LOL at this fan service camera angle during all the intense stuff at the end!! XD |

| BIG O, IT'S SHOW TIME! ahem, sorry about that ... Cliffhanger, pahh-leeeese, sure, ok, whatever, she's not gonna die. Kirito' acrobatics were freaking amazing. |
 |
| I'm surprised Death Gun just walked away after shooting that Pale Rider person, since he just got shot at by Sinon. |
skyUFO said: I hope Sinon becomes a plot twist maker with her death Yeah, if she actually dies that would be quite the twist. I wouldn't be expecting that at all. Unfortunately it probably won't happen, Kirito will save her. I can wish that it does though |

| Wish they would cut out all of ALO. If anything, show them in real life, or not at all. Really hope Sinon doesn't die. She is best girl so far, by far. Actually developing a relationship. Pretty sure it's Shinhawa, since he is the mostly likely character that knows which gun she used to kill that guy. Ugh. These episodes are way too short. Good episode, though. |
 |
| Really, really good chapter. 5/5, even after reading the novels, i was mad with that cliffhanger, AGAIN. Also, Sinon could die, u know? she would be GGO's Sachi or something. hantere said: Gun gale is being broadcasted is weird I guess since there already in a game watching a game. Gameception. |
| Last episode I was thinking Death Gun used some type of active camo like in Halo games and looks like I was right. He shows up to Sinon and reveals himself, pretty sure Sterben is Death Gun since Gunner X was at the stadium. That Pale Rider guy stands up in a weird way, then falls down and dies. Creepy Hopefully Sinon doesn't die. People would riot if she died, plus I'm looking forward to more Sinon x Kirito scenes and an actual battle between them. |
 |
| Let us have a moment of silence for the guy who moved fabulously. |
 |
| Ended at a cliffhanger. Hopefully Kirito is there in time to save her or maybe someone else there. |
 |
| Asuna and friends are watching from ALO and they discovered that Death Gun is a member of the Laughing Coffin guild. Kirito shows off his awesome bullet blocking skills again. Death Gun could be either Gunner X or Sterben. Hmm, so it's not Gunner X, but Sterben! Death Gun's pretty OP with his paralyzing bullet, invisibility cloak, and his Death Gun. Noo, not Sinon! Kirito, save her!! Dat cliffhanger. |
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. |
| For anyone who could clarify, has Death Gun's suspicious actions not caught the eye of higher-ups in the gaming industry besides Kirito's employer? Does Death Gun somehow conceal himself so well in real life that it's not easy to track him down? I'm also wondering if Death Gun is actually a real person, or just a puppet used by a puppet master (like a well-made program), especially when he appeared in front of Sinon all pixelated at first. Answers can be put in "spoilers" if anything is spoiled from the light novel. Privately messaging me works too. I'm just trying to figure out a little more about Death Gun before I can be happy about this episode. |

| that f***ing cliffhanger... |
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender, A warrior of youth, I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order I Am Bulletproof. . .  |
| I think it's obvious that Sinon won't die,she's a MC after all. And SAO doesn't seem the thing to have such a plot twist like a MC dying. When I thought who really is Desu Gun,I'm confused now. pakoko said: I'm also wondering if Death Gun is actually a real person, or just a puppet used by a puppet master (like a well-made program), especially when he appeared in front of Sinon all pixelated at first. That's actually possible if I think about it. |
| It was nice seeing the ALO gang again, but for them to witness Death Gun killing Pale Rider. Even they realize that Death Gun is part of Laughing Coffin. Sinon and Kirito teaming up to defeat Death Gun! Seeing Kirito's absolute defense to be able to deflect/destroy all those bullets! To be able to fight without fear! Death Gun stunning Sinon :O They can stealth in this game!?! Again with Sinon's trauma as she witnesses the gun she used which is now being used on her. Ending with a gunshot sound :O Hope that sound was the sound to shoot Death Gun or something >.< |

| cliffhanger at the end, seems like Shino is dead (not) ^^ Mod Edit: spoilered huge pic |

pakoko said: For anyone who could clarify, has Death Gun's suspicious actions not caught the eye of higher-ups in the gaming industry besides Kirito's employer? who would believe that a digital gun could kill some1 in real life (besides me ofc) ? even Kirito's employer had to convince him to go an investigate (Kirito didn't even fully believe him yet) they probably assumed it was just a rumor like everyone else. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So... Kirito got flips for days apparently... XD anyways, good episode. i could see that some of those other SAO veterans were experiencing some form of trauma as well. |
| Oh Sinon. |
   |
| Oh sh*t that cliffhanger! But there is no way that they would kill Sinon off. Can't wait till next week! |
| Well Sterben means die in german...i find it pretty obvious that Sterben is Death Gun. And he has invisible hacks? Cheater everywhere. |
Takuan_Soho said: A couple reasons: 1) What DG is doing (killing avatars which kills the real person) should be impossible. 2) DG, until this episode, had only operated on the margins (the only evidence was that one viral video), this would be the first time he did it publicly for the world (so to speak) to see. 3) It had only happened twice so no pattern has been formed, and both of these deaths were marked as natural causes. 4) Only the Japanese government would have the resources to be able to match a death in a game with a death in real life and since both deaths were ruled "natural" no one outside of Kirito's employer has thought to do it. 5) The GGO company is a foreign company, so they probably haven't even tracked the DG rumors. AzuStar said: who would believe that a digital gun could kill some1 in real life (besides me ofc) ? even Kirito's employer had to convince him to go an investigate (Kirito didn't even fully believe him yet) Thank you both. It seems reasonable that higher ups didn't take the rumors seriously, and only a select few (like Kirito's employer) really took interest. And that select few obviously didn't have enough authority or manpower to make such a big deal about the incidents that seem to have no logical explanation yet. |
| Now THAT was a lot better than last week's episode I'm kinda surprised because I actually felt kinda scared during this episode lol....Like I felt that atmosphere that Kirito must feel whenever Death Gun is around.... All of his scenes were just intense, and seeing Klein and Asuna feel the same way just added to it >.< Lightsaber Kirito was badass....I want more of that please....And dat cliffhanger O_O |
| SAO II is so much better than the first season, omfg. Really nice not to have Kirito's entire harem with him. Kinda want to see jealous Asuna over Sinon? And blushing Kirito over Sinon? I'm wondering if Death Gun's invisibility takes him off the radar, although that kind of tool would be wayyyyyy too advantageous. |
|
| OMG. I KNEW that the episode was going to end after that shot. -to be continued-............. That Lightsaber was awesome how he deflected every bullet. |

| i'm in total shock after that ending ? ? ? I have no words for it.. But after that i totally feel that this arc will come to an end by episode 13. |
 |
| Holy molly, this episode... It felt too short :S Kirito was badass... that was hilarious to see how Sinon watch to Kirito while he was deflecting bullets, she has no words xD Finally, Asuna goes into action!! <333 Again that cliffhanger, and once again I must wait entire week to see more, damn it... YUKI KAJIURA STRIKES AGAIN!!! |
TapuTapuuAug 30, 2014 11:22 AM
| more cliffhangers noo! Sinon and Kirito make a badass teams. When Kirito was deflecting all that gunfire,dankXD my predictions for next week, this is strictly guessing I don't read ahead for anything.. |
| ---------My Profile------------ |
| Dat cliffhanger~ :D I'm pretty sure Sinon won't die since she'll probably be important later on... I thought Asuna and everyone else would see Kirito's GGO avatar and be surprised |
| Haha, Kirito, didnt you say something in episode 1 that theres no way you can match up to pro ggo players who devote their lives to the game? Your awesome blade dance tells me otherwise :P Good episode, lol SAO II is throwing cliffhangers left and right. I like how the number of hate comments has toned down to almost none. Either that, or haters are getting too lazy to come up with reasons the show sucks. |
| And there goes Pale Rider, he was an heck of a player. Poor guy. And Gunner X is Death Gun, well... that's original... And now everybbody knows that DG is a former LC member. And Sinon's in danger, I do Wonder if she's gonna die. If she was I think they would show it right now, but I don't see any reason for Kirito to go back... |
helloisabelle said: SAO II is so much better than the first season, omfg. Really nice not to have Kirito's entire harem with him. This season has also a fantasting story in my opinion, but season 1 is something completely special and unique, the characters and the music there fancy myself much more.. This episode was way more thrilling than the last, damn, the last shot is still in my head. I still ask myself: How does Asuna and Co. can watch this game from another VRMMORPG? Probably new settings there that you can watch other virtual games. Sinon starting to raise feelings for Kirito, hope there won't be drama as GGO is now on "stream" for Asuna. |
