Spoiler for Novel:

She does have a brother, her brother had to take a trip so he couldn't play SAO despite buying it himself. Asuna asked to try the game which is why a non gamer like her ended up in the game in the first place. I can't remember his name being mentioned sorry.

Spoiler for Novel:

An older brother, if that matters. He seems to be a businessman of some sort, so there's quite an age gap.

That music that plays in Episode 12 right when the boss attacks or episode 10 where kirito fights heathcliff - is there any where to listen to that online or someplace I can download it?

[YuzurihaAsuna]

I just wanna ask..when would Asuna dive in to UW. Do any of you have details about it?

[ronelm2000]

A little FAQ worth answering:

What kinds of swords did Kirito have and at what Floor did he acquired it?

Spoiler for Vol 10 Chapter 4 -- Only SAO Info:

On the first level of Aincrad, when I held the «Anneal Blade» I earned from the first mission.
On the ninth level, when I held the «Queen's Knightsword» the dark elf queen gifted me with.
On the 50th level, when I held the black longsword «Elucidator» the boss dropped.
When I held the white longsword «Dark Repulser» the blacksmith Lizbeth forged for me.

What happens if Kirito dies in UW?

Hi guys,
Would appreciate if I could get these answered.

Spoiler for Novel-related questions (Volume 7+):

1. How are both the SAO and ALO systems co-existing with one another? In SAO there was no magic so do all the original 10,000 ppl just learn magic?
2. Do they retain the avatars of SAO or is it all deleted?
3. What happened to the old skills like 'Switch' etc.?
4. Who has priority over raids? I remember reading Volume 7 about how certain guilds camped spawn locations and never allowed other people near. Are there any authority to prevent these type of abuse?

Thanks.

Spoiler for Reply to novel spoilers:

1. ALO used the same source package as SAO, so they're both compatible. Yes they all have the ability to learn magic, but they have to train the skill like anyone else.
2. They had a choice to. It's gone forever if they didn't choose to though. (I don't believe they put a 'human' race option, I might be wrong)
3. That's not really a skill but a tactic. It's also less important because you have support/attack/healing magic and ranged dps.

Spoiler for Character Import in Novel:

SAO characters imported into ALO have their appearance more or less preserved, but adjusted by racial modifiers (there is no 'human' option). Lizbeth's avatar has very obvious pointy ears, Scilica has her cat ears. Salamander ears are less pronounced (at least among male models) so Klein hides his with his headband, etc.

Is Silica going to appear again or was she only a once off side character?

Spoiler for Reply -- Future Anime Spoilers:

She doesn't appear until... probably Episode 25/26 at the last ep. However, she will certainly appear more often in season 2... if there WILL be a season 2.

Spoiler for Future Light Novel Spoilers:

Silica appears in the epilogue chapter of the Fairy Dance arc, attending the same school as Kirito, Asuna and Liz. She and Liz have ended up becoming friends and founders of KKA, Kirito Katamoi Alliance (the Kirito Unrequited Love Alliance), in despair at how he has eyes for Asuna alone.

She makes appearances in Vol. 7 and Vol. 8, as an ALO player.

Spoiler for Above Reply Question:

Here I thought the entire "There is one but ultimate way" is all non-canon...

...really? I thought Liz and Scilica only gave a 1 month truce?

Spoiler for An explanation:

"There is but one ultimate way" is completely non-canon.

And Liz and Scilica's one month truce was a disaster, because Asuna doesn't waste one second delineating her territory.
