This episode easily EASILY had the best fight in the entire show so far for virtue of having neither one hit kills nor one side that was totally overpowering that required some inexplicable exploit to win. Instead for a change you have two evenly matched player characters going at it and Kirito has to use both creativity and go all out to eek out a victory. The battles in this show are probably amongst it's weakest points so I guess it's better late than never.

Incidentally does anyone find it amusing that all the sides Kirito joins seem to be filled with easily reasoned with hawt chicks that are more than ready to welcome him into their clan while whatever side seems to be opposing him seems to be filled with war mongering hostile bishonen assholes that instantly want to kill him upon sight half the time. That's why I kind of found Gene to be a breath of fresh air. While the rule still carries through this episode at least he's an honorable player in the end that sticks to his word and shows respect. It's just too bad he probably earned his status as the games strongest player while Kirito basically inherited his stats from SAO such that you really kind of feel that in any normal situation Gene would have clobbered Kirito pretty handedly.
