Asuna: If the game is cleared and this world ends, what will happen to [Yui]? Kirito: Yui's data is set to save to my NerveGear's local memory. So my assumption was that, in the game, she's stored within the item. When the game is over, obviously the item will be gone, so at that point she needs to be stored within his local memory. You're right that the in-game item might be a pointless bauble designed to appease Asuna, but he did actually explain to her that he "split off her main program and turned it into a game object" and that object was "Yui's Heart". I think it makes more sense to assume that he meant it. I don't think he had the time to create an extra item just to make Asuna feel good; saving Yui was all there was time for. Perhaps we can say that the item itself is bound to Kirito's local memory, and is just manifesting itself through that in-game item right now.

Honestly, it isn't that hard to believe that Kirito could do something like this, all he would have to do is copy Yui's data and convert it to an existing game object model (presumably if Yui was recreated in her original form then the Cardinal system would have recognized that her data was the same and would have deleted her again). For someone with Kirito's programming prowess (many people have already indicated the evidence for this) and his obsession with Kayaba would have meant that he was familiar with the basics of the system commands.

Maybe all those fancy colours actually get translated into something meaningful on the user's nervgear. I don't think they showed us the screen from the "player" perspective at all. |

Someone with no admin privileges shouldn't be able to find that admin console to begin with. She also used that hax sword which obviously broke the rules of the game otherwise the Cardinal program wouldn't have attacked her.

There's also a bunch of old people playing as well. The guys in Episode 11, fishing at the lake must have been at least 50-60 years old (unless the Japanese age really quickly ) SAO does seem to be an all ages game. |

Kirito and Asuna tried to use a santouryuu defense vs The Fatal Scythe, but they're no Zoro. Looks like a 50% health attack skill, just speculating. Also, Kirito isn't wearing his crappy guild outfit.
Yui could've made clearing the game easy by intercepting all attacks while Kirito and Asuna get blows in. Good arc but there's something that makes it seem like a side story. Insert and remove like earlier side stories, especially if she can be game breaking and seemed like a useless program Kayaba should've turned off with what he was planning. Sorry if mentioned, but I didn't read previous posts and probably won't read after my post. |

Wait, that was Shiraishi Ryoko? Totally didn't notice her without the Kansai Dialect.
Sad to see Yui go but now Kirito and Asuna have even more of a reason to finish this game. Also Kirito, Asuna may love you but that doesn't mean she'll cook those frog legs.

I figure it's essentially the same process, only this time without the time limit. The ingame object Yui's Heart is a representation of the saved data that makes up Yui.

I'd think that the jewel matters, because looking at Pina's Heart, it's a physical manifestation of the data, which is required to revive the being. Notice that everything in SAO, when it dies, dissipates into light - my guess is that's representative of what happens to the data, which disappears. Logically, if there is any damage to the object, I would be very afraid that Yui's program would likewise be damaged as well. Quote:
That said, look at his rig in episode 1. It's suggestive, that he'd know what he's doing. It's a setup suggestive that he's a computer enthusiast. Anyhow, all in all, this was a solid ep, and again they trimmed out what wasn't totally crucial, and stuck to what was important. Can't fault them there. Also, last bit was complete tearjerker. ;___;

I'm amazed that after (supposedly) two years in the game, people still haven't learned to NOT run blindly down a passage before checking it out. It's a good thing Kirito was on his toes. His eyes looked pretty cool while in scan mode.
I noticed while Yui was explaining herself, and showing pictures of players in the early days, Asuna was among those in the pictures. Or at least, someone who has the same hairstyle and color as Asuna. Endless "MHCP001" Soul

The whole programming having to look flashy is something that they have been doing since the early 80's and it's still the same problem as it is then, you animate in a fancy way that would never really work in reality, just to keep the viewer entertained, seriously would your standard anime fan enjoy someone typing several lines of code in say... c++ ? What they have done here was pretty harmless compared to say.. Hackers..
Also I would imagine that being part of such an exclusive Betatest as it probably was for SAO, they should have weeded out those that are not tech-savvy or don't understand their basic code, simply for finding errors, bugs, and what not ([randommmorant]but again they made the same mistake as every MMO developer does these days, THEY FORGET TO TEST THE ENDGAME[/randommmorant]) As for the more important parts of the episode, I really enjoyed it, it's rare that you find a character that is cute, but not overly annoying at the same time. |

God that was close. I thought we had another Sachi loss on our hands there. But Kirito managed to step up in the nick of time and save the day. Close call, but well done.
Though I'm not sure what they are going to do with her data once they get out. Maybe get a really advanced computer that she's constantly displayed in?

alrite conclusion.
I enjoyed the lovey dovey parts of the first part more than this rescue episode. Yui turning out to be part of the game system was predictable. The whole thing with Kirito messing around with the computer was meh. If he had that much time to do that, he should have turned off the game and set everyone free. Dumb kirito...

nooo... Yui don't leave us!!!
I like how Yui use that flaming sword.... she's just like Shana... lol! (our of topic!) this episode feels too short for me... I like Asuna's reaction about that frog leg... another quarrel from our newly-wed couple Yui's disappearance is painful for me... while Kirito's hacking ability somehow save Yui miraculously I believe Kirito-Asuna isn't the first married couple in this game (there already some references in previous episode) but somehow Yui said that only both of them showed up lots of positive emotions...

Btw, just a random thing that I forgot to mention earlier, but I found Yui's reaction to Kirito chopping up dozens of enemy frogs rather amusing. It's like she enjoys watching them get sliced to bits.
I have no idea how you can grow attached to a character in such a quick amount of time. Especially when they've hardly done anything.

This was a terrible episode. That end bit with Yui is probably the biggest asspull/deus ex bulls*#@ I've seen along the same level as certain Guilty Crown and Aquarion EVOL episodes. This was partly due to the fact pacing was ridiculously fast which led to Yui's character development being beyond insufficient and partly because the first half of the episode was more or less "sad loli pandering" which made it even more ridiculous when she popped the can of woopass out of no where against the reaper boss. Yes, it was somewhat foreshadowed that the game mechanics in SAO aren't as crystal clear and flawless in glitches and hacks, but sorry, I am absolutely not buying this development - definitely not in what was effectively 1.5 episodes in Yui development.
Extremely disappointing after what were some pretty decent relationship development episodes between Asuna and Kirito. |

At first I thought you were annoyed by the fact that Kirito was able to download Yui's system from the computer (which we've talked about a lot), but then when you started talking about this I was confused. I never considered *that* aspect all that surprising....
