you know what.... Reki Kawahara influenced by Shana character design much....
Spoiler for Shana-chan on the move:
... don't you remember how Kuroyukihime's face resemble Shana in most of time? I mean, her hair (obviously), her manner towards Haru (although Sakai Yuuji is not a pig). haha....

EDIT: @ak4allz Yeah, the moment she summoned the sword or to be more precise the kind of summoning totally reminded me of Shana XD |

one more thing... when you're a couple of married player in SAO, you can use this combined sword skill. Pretty useful when it comes to reduce the impact from the monster hit :P
Spoiler for fighting scene:

Well, in any case, it's an interesting side-question, but probably not worth the whole tangent we've gone into over it.

I baffled when I saw this many children are in SAO. But then I remembered the countless kiddies who play all kind of stuff... CoD could be one example though there's plenty of non-shooter games.
Yuriel is a good person. She'll probably never appear again but I hope she'll have a good future together with Thinker(sp?), whether in a romantic sense or not. Oh and I hope they'll be able to handle the thugs of the Army guild from now on, the Murderer(?) guild is problematic enough. Yuiiiii... I assume she pulled out the best sword ingame with like maximum affixes or something. Loli saves the day! I was really letdown when she had to be deleted but then Kirito repays the favor and saves her! I don't know how he did it, I don't even want to. It was the only thing that bugged me though so whatever. I read all the helpful descriptions in earlier posts (thanks) but as a casual anime watcher I believe I am not supposed to know all that console and admin stuff so I was a bit "wtf" at Kirito's h4x skills at first. Anyway, it ended happier than it could have been so instead of frowning upon the loss, I eagerly await the readdition of Yui at a later point. What I think this episode basically did was confirm how Kayaba is an ahole even more. And when I put Kirito's view of him at the moment in contrast with how he used to respect him, I get the feeling that Yui's (too small) arc is the beginning of something. As long as I get to see cool fights I'm fine with anything so bring it on! P.S.: I loved the scene when Asuna threw away all those toad legs with such an agonized reaction.

I'm happy they added in a bit showing Yui's reaction to players killing themselves and other things. Just having her tell the story to Asuna and Kirito wouldn't have been enough, though the scene was depressing. Be designed and programmed to deal with players and help them and then be denied access to doing it but still forced to monitor and watch.

At the risk of sounding like a terrible person, I can't help but note that SAO handles dramatic farewells the way Lennie from "Of Mice and Men" handles puppies: I don't doubt the enthusiastic sincerity of the affection it has for them, but the results are not always pretty.
On a positive note, the idea of a dungeon opening up under the first floor as the game is cleared is kind of an exciting idea. Kind of reminded me of Monad from Persona 3 Which is why it was no surprise (but still awesome) to see the Reaper show up. I hope this isn't the last we see of it. I like the idea of a deadly bonus dungeon in a death game. |

So expecting much from that sort of person... well... yah. I'd totally expect the in-game console to be a very dumbed-down version of windows (with plenty of pop-up help). ^_^ Quote:

Well, yeah, I did say that "games are fond of giving GMs fancy effects", but in terms of the storytelling I think it would have been more shocking for her power to be a clear rulebreaker rather than something "really strong". The boss even seemed to be able to block it for a short while.

(And, incidentally, this is also why she subsequently had to disappear. Someone having access to this sort of power destroys the balance of the game and of the story. And it's also why the console had to reject Kirito and disappear after he accomplished his objective. Otherwise, he could just keep on coming back to this place to get more power as needed.)

And Aura Yui's identity is revealed.
As for how Kirito was able to do what he did. I say it's a combination of him knowing his way around a computer and Hollywood Hacking. Even though it was probably not even hacking. He probably just poked around in the debug menu a little. |

Well he was a programmer judging by the stuff on his bookshelf at home and obsessed with Kayaba. He had GM access and all the information and everything he needed was there at his fingertips. It sounded like all he did was download Yui's data to his NervGear, the only difference was it made an item too.

Well, yeah. It basically is the "Hollywood Hacking" trope mentioned above. I just thought it was funny. Edit: Oh, I get it -- the object is for now and, if they escape the game, he somehow set it so that it would download into his NerveGear memory at that point in time. How he set all that up in that time, of course...
