Uhh...refresh my memory with an episode number and a timestamp? I am positive whatever scene you're referencing is not the way I interpreted it, because I don't remember that at all.Originally Posted by DarthEnderX
I don't even remember him having a list. He wants to kill Kirito after seeing the name, and anyone else who happens to be good along the way of that goal.
Episode 3 at 21:45. He opens up a folder containing 3 pics, two of which were X'd out in red and the third was Sinon. He reaches out to caress it in creepy bad guy fashion and cracks a typical "i'm gonna do bad things" smile.
Sort of interesting he seemingly isn't going after Sinon right now, unless what's happening in this episode is only theater and he knows Kirito & Sinon are watching, like I said earlier. Another interesting thing is that if you watch until 21:57 of that same ep 3, another picture has appeared right of Sinon's, though it's not shown fully, so it's a mystery who's that target. It's not just reordering of the same three, though, but a new one. So, he does have more targets preselected, possibly as many as we saw shadows behind the three clear cards at 21:45. He might also not be overly methodological, and those photos could be merely any people he thought interesting at any point, even if not in a lethal manner.
I'm sure he does have other targets. His primary motivation, aside from straight up psychosis, is showing the "strong" people what "true power" is. He's clearly just looking to be renowned/feared/legendary ect. His very public show he made in the beginning is evidence of that. How he chooses the order he takes them, if he even does, is a mystery. He may just take them when he has the opportunity. Then again going by previous events i'm not even sure why he's entering the tournament to begin with. He killed the first guy simply by firing at the screen of a live feed, so why the hell isn't he just standing with the spectators busting off shots at every screen in front of the crowd so they can watch them magically keel over one by one?
None of it makes a great deal of sense, but that's just fine i'm just here for the cool fight scenes anyway.
I reckon the previous victim could have been either a spur of the moment, that is, he got pissed off by the dude's attitude watching the show, or, in the end, there's not really that many choices as long as he wanted to slay the man during the live feed. It's not like he could have invaded the virtual studio in a sensible manner, most likely. However, Death Gun undoubtly enjoys GGO. He has the super rare silenced sniper rifle, for example, so he must have been playing for a while and found the whatever boss that dropped it. It makes sense he would then enter tournaments as well. I imagine he doesn't kill the small fries of the initial matches for real, only specific targets in the finals. If he finds them interesting enough to kill.
