Yeah, I forgot to mention this -- that was a good piece of information as well, along with the fact that he sort of "inherited" that trait from his adopted mother. Speaking of which, his family situation is also rather interesting, and Suguha's inference about Kirito losing himself in online games could possibly be related to his being adopted was an interesting topic to bring up. So we actually get some good backstory here about Kirito, and it addresses a lot of the questions people had about him and his background that weren't really covered so far. So I agree -- that was a good and useful set of developments for the story (along with everything else you mentioned). I agree that the "cardboard villain" is the weakest point.
