Yeah I know I'm a gamer too. What I meant was, if you don't "Build" your character as one build, then you do it as the others. Doesn't mean they are always interchangable midway.

Isn't it obvious? The author decided that dual blade would be the MC's special ability, and if it's special it means it's exclusive and unique, something only he can do. If everyone else could do it, it wouldn't be Kirito's special power anymore, right? So we can't have that.

Maybe Dual Wield is a skill gained by earning a achievement.
To be honest, a virtural game like SAO where you hook up someone's brain to a game might actual require some kind of hand dexterity. Dual wielding in real life is actually very difficult and only a few have the ability to do so. It might be possible that Kirito's own natural dexterity translate into the game for a unique ability.

Because she doesn't want to leave her guild. She just wants to take a break. If she just quit and left on bad terms then they probably wouldn't let her back in when her break was over. She's having some troubles recently but it's not like she hates the guild. Even when she was complaining about how it's changed, there was the implication that the old days were better because the guildmaster invited everyone personally. Implying she respects him, at least as a judge of character. Cutting off all ties would be a bad thing.
So therefore she politely requests a leave of absence so she can stay associated with the guild while partying with Kirito. Leading to Heathcliff's offer. And it was just an offer; Kirito could have refused but chose not to because he likes swords more than talking. |

Any guesses as to why Klein revealed Kirito's dual-welding ability? He's certainly not the type to do this sort of thing w/o Kirito's consent unless he was planning something(nothing nefarious obviously).
And did Liz already knew about his dual-wield ability? That's what I insinuated from her 'it was our secret and you told on yourself' line. If that WAS the case, why tell her and not Asuna(don't get the wrong idea though, I like Liz's char =03)? That's what I was thinking. Maybe something along the lines of "kill 100 enemies solo" or "earn 100,000 EXP solo".

I appreciate the information. Though it still hasn't addressed why dual wield itself has to be a special skill. Well, aside from it being the privilege of the MC. I mean, it should be possible to make the dual wield itself unlocks normally as a skill for everyone but make a special skill like a secret hissatsu-waza that deals base damagex1000 or something for our MC to still make him special.

really nice episode...finally the battle scene that I was hoping for as the previous episodes didn't really satisfying my action needs dual-wielding...really have a nice ring in my ear as I always like the sound of it and when playing MMORPG that have a job that can dual wield, I would always choose to play it just like choosing fighter (twin lance at first) at PSO2.... (oops OOT) A waste that no slurping mayonnaise at Asuna's hand really excited when he shouted out "Starbust Stream" a 16-hit skill.... I wonder if it's like some kind of combo and whether the combo had been decided by the system or the player itself that do the combo with the help of system... But its likely that it had been decided by the system because actually when the player's getting hit they can still continue attacking while being attacked not just like the MMORPG that I had ever played when the player's being hit and got the damage there's actually a second stun(?) which actually in Ragnarok Online it can be discarded by using Endure skill that Swordsman have..... I don't really like the 6th move when he cross slash downwards again... its better that after the 5th move when he cross slash downwards the next move would be cross slashing upwards.... really surprised when seeing Lizbeth make her second appearance and when was it that Kirito told Lizbeth about the dual-wielding and made it a secret? Well in the novel Kirito showed her the dual-wield but not in the 7th episode next will be an epic battle again between Kirito and Heathcliff as even after knowing Kirito having unique skill nitouryuu, he still challenge him to a fight which means he himself has a confidence that he can beat Kirito |

Let's see.. based on episode 9. Kirito unleashed the Dual Wielding Skill which open up another skill... the Star Burst Stream. If anyone other than Kirito has Dual Skill, they can get access to this other skill too... Kayaba must have limited this. If not, Boss fights would be pretty easy then... the game will be easy to finish if a party of dual wielders help each other... Again, Kirito finished the boss in solo mode.... |

I disagree with you all.

The in-story reason was that the game designer thought it'd be cooler if there were unique skills, and picked "Dual Blades" as one of them. |

Woop, Kirito bringing out the DEEEEEEPS! Typical boss fights take from 15 minutes to 3 hours and he just did it with half a party in a few minutes? Lawls. Really nice character interactions in this episode, I like how Kirito is always so honest about his desires (i.e. Asuna's handmade goodies and not letting people die in front of him if he can help it), although I would have liked to see some Klein action. Dude's got a decent party to back up a serious fight or at the very least open up an escape route, but they were limited to mainly standing by as Kirito raged on.
About skills: even Kirito doesn't know how he got his dual wield, it must be very hard to use though, unless you're ambidextrous or highly experienced. Well, he did get hit quite a bit...but then again, that boss was insane, it used sword skills, fists and a freaking breath attack, wtf? About Heathcliff and the KoB - anyone would want a guy like Kirito to join their guild. Since he challenged him to a duel, I suppose he will be deciding its style. I think he will go for a time limit battle and taunt Kirito into hitting him once, before he shows he can dual wield too - with shields Quote:
