    Close relationship? In his eyes they were nothing more than friends.

    Kirito has had flashbacks with Sachi dying all the time he decided to enter the fight. It would not be a great stretch to think she's the one in his NDE too. It doesn't mean it has to be her. Just that he still thinks a lot about her in dire situations at least and was already doing that, just before his NDE.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Kirito hits him hard for no real reason (especially if you consider how he is not fooling around like this normally)

    Yeah, that's what I'd think as well, if it was Sachi. Since he regrets nothing more than letting Sachi die, it's not a stretch (to quote David) for him to twist it around so that when he almost died, it was Sachi watching over him. I have a feeling if he now had to choose between seeing Asuna die or shield her with his own body, he wouldn't hesitate a nanosecond to take the deathblow himself, so lying dying with someone watching over would be preferential to losing someone again.

    so what is it now :/
    I think that was a special boss that wasn't in a dungeon, but out in the field.

    Was that the 67th floor that they mentioned twice this episode? I don't have the means to check.

    He might've liked her on some loser virgin level, but he clearly had no romantic interest in her at all until perhaps the very end of this ep.
    The punch was just some silly anime humor to stop klein from stammering/lagging.

    Now, an interesting twist would be sachi=kirito's sister. But that would be an extreme stretch, since he should recognize his sister... After all the mirror worked for everyone when looking back at ep one. And I do not think the game did allow new players to enter after the initial ones. After all, there are nervgears and games ready available with the so many dead from the beginning. Would they have the mirror function, or be able to sport a different avatar?

    So stretch it a little again and his sister is not dead after losing the game, she's there to wake him up when he's about to lose in game. After all, you can maybe with a monitor see a player's game...

    No, it wasn't his sister. No matter how big a nerd he is and how antisocial, he would have recognized his sister, and more than that, the sister would have recognized him, and I very much doubt she would have kept quiet.

    I have to disagree. It certainly is on some antisocial virgin level because that's what he is, but nevertheless I doubt, despite his past with Sachi, Silica, and the smith girl, he would have gone this much out of his way to dance to Asuna's whims unless he felt something. In fact it should be the contrary after the other girls: Surely he's already tired of endangering them. But he couldn't help it with Asuna, despite the fact there wasn't any special reason for partying with her (no mission like with Silica the Bait and the blacksmith girl).

    He could have easily parried that with dual wielding (knife and fork) if her really wanted to.

Kirito lost more life in during that brief 50-hit combo than he did the rest of the time, or against any other opponent we've seen (where he's not 20+ levels over).

    Would have been nice if they had verbalized it, but you could tell from his expression during the fight, and the fact that he was getting hit on his sides. Earlier he was pushing the boss' blade much further away from himself.


    skill description (as shown in this ep) says there is no disadvantage

    attackspeed bonus 1.8
    weapon defense bonus 1.5
    cooldown bonus 1.2

    offensive and defensive stats increase


    I wonder what will happen if he respeccs to something like a 2h-build

    DUAL WIELD HAND-AND-A-HALF SWORD!

    That would require Monkey Grip, duh. I don't know if Sword Art Online has that feat.

    He's already dual wielding two perfect longswords. They are very long and the grips are designed for two hands, if you have a look at the ep. But since he has the strength and endurance to use them single-handedly, why not. It's certainly more versatile. Not shabby by any means to use two at the same time.

    Duel was shorter than I expected; was hoping we could have seen more of Holy Sword, at the very least some more skill usage by Heathcliff.

    The romantic relationship progressed a bit rapidly for my tastes, given how Kirito is a solo player and probably didn't spend much time hanging out with Asuna ever since the 1st floor boss. They've only been partying together for what, a couple of days at most? And now they're all lovey-dovey.

    So avatars can do it in-game? VR must be a godsend for these virgin nerds.
    "You can never know everything, and part of what you know is always wrong. Perhaps even the most important part. A portion of wisdom lies in knowing that. A portion of courage lies in going on anyways."

    So what happened in the battle with Heathcliff? One moment Kirito's sword is like an inch from his head then the world goes red. Then next moment Kirito is parried. Does Heathcliff have a slow time ability?

    Kirito should have marched to the commander's office and asked just what kind of a lousy guild tries to cowardly assassinate its new members during the first mission. That would have put the arrogant man down a notch or two. And Kirito could have used it to extort himself the right to use a black coat...

    I don't mind the romance speeding this much. They have got through a few sticky situations together already, and seen life can be cut short abruptly in the game. Under such circumstances it's perfectly natural to take quicker steps. And it's not like they wouldn't have felt at home in each other's company.

    Poisons seem to work splendidly, though. A wise man would invest a few skill points in that area.
