What was shown in the Anime was the extent of what happened. If you consider "forcibly stripping her clothes off, and touching her provocatively" as rape (pretty sure most legal systems will recognize that as rape?), then there you go. I don't think he did anything to her real body though (other than smell her hair) Like C9 said, it was a misunderstanding. The person who said that read the Chinese translations, and that word has that implication in Chinese, but it doesn't make a difference in Japanese. Because Japanese uses Chinese characters, the translator often just copies over the same characters, instead of correcting them to a word that makes more sense. |

Was Sachi Kirito's first love?
Thanks to all for the clarification on whether Sugou actually did rape Asuna. I'm really pissed at what Sugou did to Asuna and I'm glad that no rape actually happened (according to my definition).
I have another question: Was Sachi Kirito's first love? I was sorta debating with my friend about it and that was when she showed me a q&a with the author (2005, I think): Q. Who was your first love? Also, what position would Asuna be, in order of the women you liked? A. Someone who was in the “Black Cats of the Moonlit Night”… I guess. Basically, that would make Asuna the next person I ended up liking after her. Q. So Asuna was your first love, as I thought? A. She would be my second love, I guess. What do you guys think? I actually wished that asuna and kirito are each other's first love, so I'm a little disappointed if Sachi is considered as his first love instead. |

But as Web Novel moved to Light Novel this got played down to just someone he cared for. Something that annoyed me to no end. I do not get why you would be disappointed. Because if there was no Sachi, Kirito would not have had his drive and guilt to make him end the game the way he did. Fun little fact that the anime did not cover, was the heart break he felt after her death and the limitation of the revival item drove him to chose to carry out a suicide run. This run was to clear as many floor bosses as he could until he died. However Sachi's message got to him before he left. This is where Kirito chose to honour her last request and find out why Kayaba did what he did. Don't think that as a bad thing though. Because Asuna may have been second. But she is not any less important, as she is the one that helped mend that broken heart. So in a nut shell while not officially (as its left up to the reader to decide) his first love now she was still someone of major Importance to him. |

Sachi isn't Kirito's first love in the LN. He is straight up thinking Quote:
That makes Asuna Kirito's first love. Not to mention the fact that Kirito seems to fall for Asuna way before he even meets Sachi when you consider Progressive. And since Progressive in both canon and on the same timeline as the "Aincrad Novels" you end up with Asuna as his first either way. So you don't have to wish for it since it's already the case Also, just to say it once more, Asuna wasn't raped in ALO. Everything the other posters already said is right, Oberon didn't go beyond touching her basically. I don't know where you "sources" got the idea from. Quote:

Apart from that, i wouldn't exactly call the WN ending polygamous or a love triangle either since Kirito is quite set on Asuna even there. Last edited by EdRed; 2015-10-15 at 17:01. Reason: Elaboration |

The fact that Alice is still trying to get with Kirito, to the point that she mailed her robot body to Kirito's house, and calling his parents Mom and Dad?
It's pretty much stated that Kirito and Asuna were married for 200 years in Underworld—but that's only "Stacia Asuna and Star King Kirito" Immediately after they got out, they had those 200 years of memories erased (because otherwise there wouldn't be room for new memories) which basically is like saying that never happened to them, and now Alice is still trying to get into Kirito's pants. It ends with a silly as fuck love-triangle. And that's not even touching all the weirdness that happened in the web novel (that I'm pretty sure has just now been published in light novel format) There's just too much going on in Alicization to pick just one thing to complain about. |

I want to hear your thoughts guys:
1.in the novel, after they got out of UW, do you think Asuna/Kirito's fighting/sword skills have improved? significantly? 2. So far in the novel, who's strongest sword fighter aside from zekken? how strong is he compared to the characters in S2 of the anime? |

I only touched upon the WN slightly. But I haven't checked up on the current developments of the LN yet. You said that in the WN kirito is the strongest, but in the LN he isn't. So I guess it means the LN haven't caught up to the part where kirito is the strongest in the WN yet? or it won't/didn't happen in the LN? hmm I was actually interested to see if there are other people with pure-swordskill who are stronger than kirito/zekken/asuna/alice's swordsmanship(no magic/power). I kind of thought kirito was the strongest in the WN novel, but not because of his pure swords skills, but because of magic n stuff? |

well, I kinda hoped for someone(villain or not) with pure-swords skills to be stronger than yuuki for our MCs' to beat, It's anti-climactic for me to have them be forever subpar to the ones they faced before, I'm that type of guy . I guess I won't get the kind of development I want. But I'm still interested what would happen. |

I really doubt Reki will bring back the WN ending since a lot of people (excluding me) would be pissed off if he did it. After all as someone said earlier in this thread that he has toned down Kirito's relationship with girls that are not Asuna (though Alice retains her ... you know), but yeah I dont think people like you that wants an Asuna end should worry at all. Pretty tired of shipping stuff tbh. |
