But there is one very important aspect left out of your post, time. This is important as to when Asuna decides she wants Kirito as her future husband. It's obviously before the Lizbeth story as she could see the signs then already. The answer is given when she unilaterally decides that they should have dinner together at the end of the murder arc. So that was the start of Asunas quest to catch Kirito and we got to see the end just now. But that means that she spent 6 months bumping into Kirito to try and make him like her. Considering that she still likes him so would it be safe to say that she is pretty stuck on him. And while Kirito doesn't really have a better reason to like Asuna other then that she is a pretty girl that he gets along well with, so did she have time carve a place in his heart and he didn't want her to go away now. Agreed. If you lock a couple of teens in a room for a few days so will they either kill each other or fall in love :P So it's not strange that they like each other after spending a couple of years getting to know each other. |

The reason doesn't have to be reasonable, but clearly there is some force at work which makes people fall for each other. If Kirito really did have a reason, it's only because of how attached Asuna is to him, so it's almost like he's just picking the first girl who is really insistent. Quote:
Maxed out cooking? Black Cats? Only now wondering about the single handed sword style? Doesn't sound like people who know each other well at all. |

Kirito knew Asuna cooked, but didn't realize she'd MAXED cooking. Kirito isn't going to just casually mention the Black Cats to everyone, that's ammo a less kind person could use against him. You're not really going to pay attention to fine details when you're fighting for your life, but when you HAVE a moment you might spot.. or work up the nerve to ask about.. something that's been bugging you. (As a note, Kirito tends to use a sword that is a little on the large side, it's still a 1h sword, but at first glimpse someone might mistake it for a 2h sword. Until you've FOUGHT with him closely you might miss that he's not using a shield when he could.) The questions Asuna and Kirito are going over in the leadup to this arc are actually pretty intimate in context.

The twin beds are probably because they are still young, its hard to figure out what to do in your first physical relationship, married or not.

Asuna is also horribly, horribly self conscious. She probably really covets her image of being tough. Turning into a complete and utter GIRL is probably mortifying.
'I can't believe I just said that. I didn't mean to say that out loud. I don't want him to wake up yet. OH GOD HE'S WAKING UP! Was he already awake?'

Then, Asuna, who is whispering to Kirito, is found over the sheets (not under like a normal person who had been sleeping with your partner). In the anime. Then, they place Yui on their bed, instead of the 'guest' bed (first bed scene, they're sleeping on the left bed, after they get Yui they sleep on the right bed). In the anime. Of the three, the only one that can be explained is the second one, which is Kirito and Asuna had sex, Asuna went to the bathroom (are there even toilets?), then went back to bed finding already Kirito asleep after doing the deed. Fine, I'm scratching this entire argument to 'refer to page X in the novel' and 'it happened for plot reasons'. With the amount of punch-outs by Asuna, I'd say he's pretty intimate with [Immovable Object] |

It doesn't even make sense as while SAO was published in 2002 so did it take months at the least to write it as a he wrote it while being busy with lots of other things. But more importantly so while one can argue wich one of SAO and HACK came before the other so was neither first with the idea of a VRMMO nor AI's inside it. So if their seems to be any similarities between the two, then that is most likely from other mutual sources. |

Pretty much exactly that. Just because you're seeing it now in 2012 doesn't mean it didn't exist prior. Just because the author found a publisher who purchased his web novel in 2009 doesn't mean it didn't exist prior. But essentially we're deal with tropes and concepts... I'm sure they're both copying someone elses work ultimately. |

While I'd say the odds of it being a source for them are low, if you're looking for series with a "stuck in a virtual world" related plot from before 2002, there's Tad Williams "Otherland" series.
Really, "trapped in a virtual world" plots have likely been around almost as long as the concept of VR itself. Heck, they crop up from time to time in Scifi series like Star Trek, and Stargate. So while it's theoretically possible early .hack promotions or episodes sparked the idea for SAO, it's a far cry to say that one rips off the other. |
