How the heck Kirito was able to morph into a minotaur he defeated in eps 9? I knew that spriggan is race with a thing with illusion, but that's clearly not an illusion. If it was just illusion, then Kirito would have slashed the Salamander guys 4 or 5 times to make it look like the monster clawed their bodies into pieces. That means he definitely turned into monster. My question is, how?

And the reason it's probably not useful is because like Kirito said, he lost his sword. I doubt people would choose to lose a weapon they worked hard to obtain only to not use it in battle. And most likely because spells are based on stats, I doubt many people have stats like Kirito which is why his spell was ridiculously strong. I'm sure if Kirito had a weapon that matched his level, he would have been fine not using an illusion spell, but because he has a store bought one, it was only able to get his opponents in the yellow with one swing. Now if he had his Elucidator he prolly coulda wiped them all out easily, lol. As for people talking about Kirito's PTSD, I have a feeling you guys really don't know what you're talking about. After living two years in a game world, obviously he feels an attachment, but does that make what he says wrong? It's like he was saying, if you act a certain way in a game, it's bound to effect you in real life. Kirito is merely a man who wants to stay true to himself, whether it be in a game, or in real life. And I think there are plenty of people like that. It has nothing to do with PTSD. Now if he suddenly started to get angry randomly, or paralyzed by fear, or something, then yes, I might agree that he's dealing with it, but it's pretty obvious Kirito has overcome that fear. Yes he had fear before putting on the nerv gear, but Kirito is pretty much in control of himself, and isn't displaying any real signs of PTSD aside from keeping with his morality. Yes it's a game, and yes death is a part of the game, but in a game like WoW, on a PvP server, I didn't actively hunt alliance, nor did I feel the need to kill anyone I came across. Yes, there are people who do that, but just because it's a game, and just because the death isn't real, doesn't make me want to act like an a-hole and do that kind of stuff. Kirito is the same way. |

The only problem is that it is called a "illusion" spell instead of transformation spell. He literally changed his shape, thus his range and attack abilities. Without the ability to seize and grab the defenders, he wouldn't be able to get through their formation.
Aside, the damage is most likely explained by his SAO stats.

I'm having trouble with how serious people take this game.
I mean, it's not like people would call me on my cell, because, I dunno, a guildmate in WoW was at Undercity auction house or something. It was fine in SOA, where actions had consequences, but here it's just ridiculous how serious people take everything. |

Just going to throw in Novel stuff about the illusion...
Basically, it's a spell that turns the player into a monster, with power proportional to the player themselves. Spoiler for Vol3 Quote:
...that explanation still doesn't quite satisfy me though since the only way an above-average player could roll a raid boss is if the system somehow detected the 1000 1h Swords, 1000 Dual Wielding (corrupt), 1000 Guard and 1000 Search stats he has...and then RNGed it to the maximum degree. |

I've gotten texts from my guild leader a few times when I was late for raids.
But WoW is too casual to really be a good comparison to SAO/ALO. It's far more along the lines of the game design seen in EQ/UO/FFXI/Eve , and other predecessors of WoW. Believe me, they were serious business. (And when you throw VR into the mix, even more so.) On a random note, anyone else think Kirito was lying when he said he didn't really remember what it was like during the spell, just so he could lead up to his lame hand biting joke? XD |

Even so, it is Kirito who casts the spell. If Yui told him GM commands, he wouldn't be able to use them since he doesn't have the authority to execute them, hence the spell he used can be used by other players as well.

This episode was lame. WTF with that bull-headed titan? Meh, i guess it's just another stereotypical, boring cliche from those never-ending shounen series where the protag always gains sudden power up out of thin air in a pinch situation without proper explanations just because there are people he have to protect. It's true that he's such in hurry to save Asuna, but simply wanting to save someone doesn't mean he deserve to obtain such ridiculous power up.

It wasn't a "power up" as his stats didn't change at all. |
