Besides, Asuna's fully capable of taking care of herself as the last episode indicates. Quote:
And you must have not been paying attention to the show incredibly closely, as Kirito's "spontaneous power up" this episode is at least way more believable than that bullshit back in episode 14.

Also it really isn't ridiculous since he probably can't use it to save Asuna anyway. I mean he's up against a GM. They could just as easily ban him from using any skills or set his damage dealing to zero and he'd be totally helpless.

I seriously doubt that Asuna will save herself, not that I wouldn't like her too, but if she does it will instantly make the whole story presented so far pointless |

Nobuyuki Sugou: Highly successful businessman, Owner of RCT Progress and Asunas fiancee Kirigaya Kazuto: plain highschool kid, kinda a computer geek, Asunas VRMMO friend W/out any decisive evidence I doubt Kirito would be able to convince anybody about Sugous guilt. He has both a financial and social advantage. Not to mention Sugou has already earned the favor of Asunas family. Most likely he'll just be treated as the kid who has a crush on their daughter and is desperately making up lies to stop her from getting married.

Also, one thing to consider is that Kirito isn't even 100% sure yet that what he saw in that picture was in fact Asuna. We as viewers know it is, but he doesn't. Quote:

There is that huh. So unless he climbs the World Tree and see for himself he wouldn't be able to do anything. Him saving the Sylph-Caith Sith alliance is starting to become a very good idea. But then again even if he does manage to climb the damn tree what then? Could he forcibly log Asuna out w/ the help of Yui. Will he take a screenie of her and present it as evidence? Nah that would be pretty weak. I mean picking fight w/ Sugou in the VR world he has full control of isn't really a plausible solution.

Maybe, but they could be smithed items like his Dark Repulsor was in SAO.

In most MMORPGs, illusion magics in lower levels do just distract and confuse enemies. However, on higher levels of mastery the spell user can create phantasms that appear tangible due to the illusion magics dominating the enemies mind making it appear so real to the target because all his senses are in control by the illusionist. What's that saying in the Matrix again? The body can't live with the mind?
What Kirito did might just reflect his high level stats appearing in his illusion magic.

GleamEyes was able to fire a laser fireball shot from its mouth back in the ninth episode. It also dealt punch blows, and had the ability to grab stuff such as when it grabbed Kirito's sword during the final blow. Kirito practically emulated almost everything that the GleamEyes could do, so had he wanted to, he could've used one of the Salamander as a ball peen hammer.

On second thought, his current black sword is a two-handed sword, so maybe he'll get another sword drop in addition to the white one? Though maybe he could wield it with one hand, his stats should be high enough for that at least. Edit: Quote:

About Kirito's priorities... he is not just a 16YO kid, but the 16YO that saved 2K players from SAO... he already used that to find Asuna IRL through the police. He also needs no evidence to Asuna's father worried, the police interested, and Sugo's competitors digging dirt. As for how he can make the connection between Sugo and Asuna's captivity in Alfheim:
Asuna is still plugged in a game Sugo told him it's convenient for him He sees a photo of Asuna in Alfheim Sugo own the Alfheim company But instead of doing something IRL about it, he goes to play the game, and as of last episode, not even play it to save Asuna in game |

Are you suggesting he just prance around the Yuuki residence and the police and proclaim Sugou a bad guy. He wouldn't be taken seriously. This also applies in the real world. Lets say a powerful politician is embellishing funds and a lowly wage worker happened to know about it. Even if he confesses to the media it will only make a big deal for a few days and then be forgotten. Then said wage worker disappears never to be seen again...
Oh and about the finding Asunas hospital thing: Spoiler for Just in case...:
