So I saw this tweet on Kawahara's twitter.
https://twitter.com/kunori/status/751059584689680384 It basically says that at first he planned to use "Ending" as the name for volume 18 as opposed to "Beginning" of volume 9. Then he decided to change it to "Lasting" since it kind of means "to be continued" rather than an end. But Alicization will still end at vol 18. Does this mean we can hope for the next arc that was teased before? |

There will be new arc... I would be happy from this since publisher in my country is on 10th Vol. already but their translation is so weak that it's better to wait for Yen Press and they will get into new arc in few years :/ |

New Alternative volume but it's not Gun Gale anymore. Also has a different author and artist. Author is Watase Souichirou and artist is Ginta. Looking at the synopsis, it seems to be about the Sleeping Knights, Yuki's guild. |

@Sacredus: There's a new arc after Alicization in the LN? Or are you referring to an anime-only arc? If it's the former, it'd be great.
On the SAO LN ending, I hope we at least see Kazuto/Kirito and Asuna officially permanently hook up and get married. Though I do worry for what will happen to the other girls who love Kazuto. If he's going to stay with only Asuna, and maybe also Alice as far as Underworld is concerned, it'd be good if the girls moved on to other guys. I don't think this series should be a True Harem because Kazuto only loves Asuna (and maybe also Alice - in Underworld, when he was a kid raised there, his memories from the real world were kept dormant by the Rath staff, and I get the feeling that he fell in love with Alice while he was there, even though he doesn't seem to remember now). How many of you guys are reading Defan's translations of Alicization, and have also read all of Tap's ones? They're all available in Mamue's archive and Tap's and Defan's respective blogs. I've read all of them.

As far as i can remember there was no mention of Kirito falling in love with Alice during his childhood in Underworld and he should remember what happened during that time since Eugeo touched him with Alice Schulberg memory fragment or something. Also there are some new illustrations on the SAO wikia twitter. One of them shows Kirito, Eugeo, Alice and Asuna on space. It seems that the next arc will be the space Underwold like the end of the WN. |

Author is declared KiriAsu fan and harem hater. Plus in one of the interviews, he said that he would like to see them married. So for once and for all, I ask everyone to stop confusing fans by giving imposible shipping theories. If there is still someone doubtful, I recomend visiting sword art online wiki page. There is thread where reliable contibutors explained everything. I would copy link but I am not sure if it is not against rules. |

Yeah, she does. Reread Chapter 20 of Volume 17, and look at how she reacted to Asuna telling her that she and Kirito have dated. She got all flustered and competitive when she noticed the romantic connotation in that word.
So yeah, Alice does love Kirito. She's Asuna's greatest rival. But I do hope that the ending of SAO is either Kirito/Kazuto x Asuna or Kirito/Kazuto x Asuna x Alice. No True Harem or open-ending. What are the chances of us seeing more of ALO and the conquering of New Aincrad (ALO's Aincrad) in the new arc of the LN? @Zanfow: Thanks for the information. I'm pretty sure he only remembered a small amount of the stuff about his time in the Underworld when Eugeo did what you said there. It's only a fragment of Alice's memories, too, so how would Kirito remember everything from that? He doesn't any memory of the time he spent in Underworld as a kid. Edit: One post late. I can see him being a Gary Stu, but I don't see him actually becoming a Harem King. Even if all the female main characters are romantically interested in him. Like I said, he loves only Asuna - and maybe also Alice.

If you are so knowlegable, do you think you could enlighten me, I give examples from LN where we can see that Alice has crush on Kirito. Kawahara said that only 2% of her feelings for Kirito are special. The rest are loyalty and admiration.
Also, if anything, I would call Kirto (fake)harem king. |
