Well, if she knew, she wouldn't have told Kirito (ingame) that she got (indirectly) rejected by her brother (in real life) last episode.
There was no mention from the start of the ALO arc that she knew who Kirito was. If she knew who he was, she'd probably refer to him as Onii-chan from the beginning.

Meh, this is why i hate harem element in serious story very much. There's no point in sugu's romance in this arc if KiritoxAsuna couple had been carved on the stone from the start with nobody (no girls) may interfere them. I could already imagine that Kirito gonna pull "i need your help" to heartbroken sugu in the next eps without her able to reject it, poor sugu.
KIRITO, YOU DAMN WOMANIZER! |

Another heart melting and heart breaking episode... We got two in one...
The Heart Melting Part Yui crying out to Asuna... Kirito defying the difficulties of the Guardians just to save Asuna.. and Asuna crying for the knowledge that Yui and Kirito were just below is very touching... I got tears in my eyes. The Heart Breaking Part We all expected it... like I said... just..one word for Kirito to say.... "Asuna" will break Suguha... I wished Kazuto hugged Sugu to calm her down and told her that he will always loved her as his sister... his most beloved imouto.. |

rofl @ episode 22.
Kirito pretty dumb. The whole rush thing inside the tower kind of went on for a while. Maybe you should have picked up that Spoiler for LN chapter that got cut:
Also, maybe time to call in the favor of those two faction leaders....since you kind of saved both their whole territory/countries. Then the scene where Leafa and Kirito find out about eachother, was cracking up. lol. Kirito should just open the door at the end,and stick it in sugu already.

Firstly you say that the author makes girls fall for Kirito although he is already in love with Asuna. Problem is the girls you are referring to is only Suguha. Remember both Silicia and Liz fall for him before he was together with Asuna. They both had the chance to make him fall for them but Silicia didn't show it to him, while Liz gave up because she knew her best friend Asuna was in love with him. Secondly he isn't oblivous to their feelings, but seriously they have to show it somehow...what did Sugu do to show her love to him? She had that short sentence in episode 20 when she wanted to silence the 2 leaders of the 2 races; well I dunno if I would now assume that she is in love with me in his position. But we have an obvious case where he saw the feelings for him and that was with Lisbeth. The moment she stopped talking to Asuna as she saw that Asuna was in love with Kirito, he knew that she had fallen for him. Thirdly I dunno from where you have your spoilers but... [mod edit: spoilers removed] |

You can't really compare Sugu's feelings to our much mocked villain wanna-be, this isn't the type of show to go all bad end on us. Sugu's chara development I suppose is an attempt to differentiate her from "random female party member of the week". The problem here is you can remove the "love" from the Sugu equation and replace it with familial affection/reconciliation with estranged family member for Kazuto, and curiosity over the weirdo newbie which grows into trust and close friendship with Kirito and still end up with the exact same message that Sugu's chara development is trying to convey. From a certain point of view Sugu's romance sidequest is completely extraneous. I've still always had a soft spot for the runner ups in the romance department in shows but it still doesn't change my opinion on this ultimately. |

I'm quite sure that neither "familial affection" nor "reconciliation with an estranged family member" have any relation whatsoever to Suguha's role in this story. Perhaps it's an alternate plot that you would have preferred... but I can't see how it's at all connected to the point here.

make a whole arc dedicated to a girl to do in the end she gets heartbroken, to me is not even something cool that love has been one-sided, to me what matters is how Kirito was unable to along the arc of not realize that their "good deeds" would not make her fall for him, or as mentioned by others could have been more honest from the start and said it was to save the person he loves. by the way the only harems who i can like are the only like kore wa zombie desu ka where the "romance" is not the focus is just a excuse for the comedy. by the way dont hate me ^^ |

I have to say i feel nothing for Sugu she could ask him certain questions while they travel .
Also you have Yui that say papa all the time , i would think most people would ask if there's a mama even if it was just as a joke. Just happy we can move on from it . |

Basically, it's as if you're accusing him of taking off his ring when he goes out in public so he can flirt with girls and hope to "score". I don't think that was ever his intention. He only saw Leefa as a friend, and he wasn't thinking "oh no, if I'm nice to her she may fall for me!". Maybe from now on he'll have to think about that a bit more, but he doesn't exactly have a whole mountain of experience behind him either. I guess I can understand that people say they don't like the fact that the author went here. But in terms of the characters "in-universe", I don't think either of them are really portrayed as being "at fault". Edit: Quote:
(And, well, it has been well-documented that I like plots that feature/highlight doomed romance, so I'm sure I do enjoy this plot element more than some do. )

Like I said, I can accept if you argue that doing otherwise would have been a better use of her character and resulted in a better overall plot. And if that's what you were trying to say... then it's really just opinions, and there's no point in arguing. But I think it's difficult to eliminate/replace a central plot element and still convey the same message, and if that's the case I really wonder what said message is, in your view.
