Sugou would probably be my reason to stay interested in this half of the show if he was written in an fitting way, but this schlock we're given is an tool that exists for the single purpose of giving viewers who actually care about the main characters someone to blindly hate.

I dunno, wanting to use VR technology for mind control and memory manipulation? Sounds pretty realistic to me, I imagine governments all over the world would love to have something to alter memories to that degree.

Must say, stupid final villain boss is pretty annoying, kind of hope there is a mastermind behind him who is actually controlling him. Also hope he gets a taste of his own medicine (the whole brain twisting thing, like some disgruntled worker in his secret group - lulz). Though I doubt it, would just be funny though.

That aside, he's selling a potentially world-domination-super-weapon-ish thing, rather than chosing to use it himself in a nefarious play such as: Use the resources avialable to him at RECT to push the popularity of VR games and other uses for VR technology, use his closeness to mind control Asuna's family, eventually gaining total control of her father (he'll be the master puppeteer behind the curtains). After sufficient acceptance for VR technology has been achieved, he can slowly start rewriting the minds of users, pushing them to urge non-users to try out Amusphere etc, and have some code in the system to rewrite the minds of first time users at that point to like VR technology. this will allow Amusphere to spread until virtually the whole world is under his fingertips, thus achieving total world domination. Then, he can have Asuna along with whoever else he likes marry him |

And I don't know... when he says to "sell the technology", it's not like the knowledge he used to build it is going to disappear. Even if he sells it, he could easily "develop it again". It'd probably make more sense for him to "license" it. That way, he can keep using it and make money off of it (and play various factions who might want it off of each other in bidding wars). Then again, after unleashing such a devastating product on the market, it may in some ways just be better to divest yourself and get way out of the way before you become a target yourself.

But that's not what I'm upset with, tell me, how would you envision the director behind a project that is developing technology that could flawlessly manipulate the way people's minds and memories would behave and plans to sell it? Would he behave the way Sugou is? I sure don't think he would, especially if his motivation is simply for the money. Someone with this kind of personality is more like a character who would use such technology to conquer the world or something silly like that. It just doesn't fit with the concepts SAO presents.

Any super-weapon, once made, can only have one chance of ever being used (BEFORE people knows much about it). Nuclear power and weapons and related research in our real world is a good example of how Sugou's research would be handled once it's known |

lol, damnit. Kind of expected Lyfa to be someone, guess it makes sense its Sugu.
Why couldn't she recognize Kirito? I mean, Lyfa's character design is different, but Kirito looks the exact same as his real life self. Or is that designs just for convenience to the viewer. I had to laugh at the bad guy's evil plan lol. So just straight up generic evil plan.

Am I the only one who thought it was interesting that Sugou seemed to know Kayaba personally? He called him senpai. I mean, I guess they work in the same business so it's not exactly unlikely, but in a show like this that would never be a coincidence.

Well, they may or may not know each other personally, but he may consider him a "senpai" in this field of research. Of course, they could easily have met in the past given their working in the same field in the same country (and he has probably deeply studied his research to the point where he feels like he knows him anyway).

Now that we've actually seen something about Leafa in this episode my opinion of her went up a little, at the very least she should be useful. Yui, still as adorable as ever, glad to see her Pixie form isnt permanent. Though when she refered to Kirito as "Papa" I'm surprised Leafa didnt call him a perv or something as it would seem "Personal Pixies" are some kind of "cash shop" item or something rare. I hope Asuna gets out of that cage soon, I was hoping she would this episode. Scary to be trapped in this kind of situation, in SAO she was strong, fast, powerful and able to handle any situation that came her way, or atleast be able to affect her situation. Here, all that has been stripped from her, she's being forced to play helpless victim....atleast for now, here's to hoping she manages to unlock her cage. Wonder if Kirito will have better luck against these "Guardians" blocking the entrance to Yggdrasil then other players have. If not then maybe it's time for "SAO Team" to reassemble, cause he will probably need the help. |
