Spoiler for Future novel content:

Only that UNDERWORLD isn't really a game at all but more of a full on life (actually civilizations/society) sim w/ actual sentient AI residents who, if only based on thought patterns, behaviour and emotions, cannot be considered anything but "human". It's my favorite arc BTW.

When do you think we will get the reveal with Kirito and Suguha realising that they already know each other? I think there are 5 episodes left.

Spoiler for Novel insight on future episodes:

Probably the episode titled "Bonds". Or they could do it earlier and reveal it in "Grand Quest" and end it in a cliffhanger. Anyway this weeks ep is about Asuna finding out what happened to the other 299 people Sugou trapped in the game and Kirito and Leefa finally reaching Aarun.

Does anyone know if they're making a season 3 after ep 25? Judging by how famous the anime suddenly got we should be expecting it right?

There's certainly more than enough written material in SAO for an entire second season (I consider this 25-26 episode run a single season), including further escapades in ALO and beyond. Given this show's success, it's not unthinkable for a 2nd season to be made.

Spoiler for Vague allusion to future content:

I would like to have a certain heart-breaking arc to be animated, if only for its emotional value

Also i would assume this will be the last female that has any love interest in Kirito? If more comes up then that's just pushing it imo

Spoiler for Spoiler for Ep 15 and up:

Also, when Leafa said she played the game for 1 year, but the SOA incident just ended 2 months ago, doesn't that mean Suguha has played it while the SOA incident was happening? how was that even possible? wouldnt the government not allow this successor of the nervegear ( which was hosting a deathgame ) to do this?

Spoiler for Answer:

ALO started up a year previously. Yes this means that it started while the SAO incident was still ongoing. Yes the government would allow this as Amusphere is heavily engineered for safety. There's no reason to block it just because NerveGear was unsafe.

Short answer: yes. They don't make as much of a big deal out of it though. Suguha's doomed romance gets the most screentime, followed by Lisbeth's doomed romance (which is already over). So I guess we're past the worst of it.

Spoiler for novels:

Yes, she started playing while Kirito was still trapped. The government let it happen because the successor of the NerveGear was physically impossible of being dangerous (also less immersive though). It was much more closely inspected. Even then, the genre is much less popular than it would otherwise be because of public fear.

Spoiler for Not sure if Spoiler:

One word: "Asuna"

This is the only name for Kirito to say in front of Leafa to reveal everything.

Thus is the only word for Kirito to incidentally needed say in front of Leafa to reveal everything.

Spoiler for Ep 15+:

Wait.. so are you telling me Suguha didn't know Kazuto was Kirito o_o? i thought she knew it was him but he didn't know it was her?

Spoiler for Answer:

Funny to say but that's the truth. I often scratch my head why Leafa didn't bother to ask "Who are you trying to find up there?" Kirito never ever mentioned Asuna during the ALO arc of the anime. Imagine the shocked this will give to Suguha if she learns the truth. Rejected not once but twice. Huhuhu..

(Took it out of spoiler tags because it's about content already seen.)

She definitely doesn't know. There's no reason for her to think or assume that Kirito is Kazuto, because appearances in the game are variable (after all, she looks nothing like her real-life self either). There's no guarantee that that's his real voice either (as it appears to be a game with you can choose your gender, so voice-changers seem needed). She also doesn't know that he's even playing ALO (like Sugou, she probably assumes he won't want to play another VRMMORPG for a while), and was never told his in-game nickname. She also hasn't revealed to Kazuto that she even plays ALO (in the latest episode, he asks her what she was doing, and she just says she was on the Net). So yeah... neither of them know each others real life identities... as odd as that may be.

Are Silica/Klein/that tall black guy whose name i forgot gonna come up more later? If so, how important will they be?

Spoiler for novels:

They show up later, but they're not really important at all. Basically they all start playing ALO together recreationally (and going to school together for the younger ones, as alluded to in the latest anime episode), but they never take part in any future plotline. I'd call them background characters. Agil (the black guy) is the most important, marginally, but only because he owns the cafe where they sometimes go to talk.

Spoiler for Answers:

For the implied H scenes there's none for the most part for most of the later volumes except for "Project Alicization" w/c is the longest and most ambitious arc of the series. Also a tad bit darker/creepier. There's also "rape" though done in context of the story and really gets to you. A "murder"scene follows afterwards. Although no scenes between Kirito and Asuna doing implied H. Take note this info is from theweb novels. The published novels might undergo some revisions to tone it down a bit. As for the second question yes ALO did launch a year after they were trapped in SAO. Thou the novel did say Amusphere underwent many safety checks by the government before being released publicly.

[madars]

Why don't they remove that nervegear from Yuuki Asuna?
I am talking about when she is in "ALfheim Online"
