Just so. Kirito had some doubts after that. And it was also described in a way like a glitch. In the anime they just made it like a slow motion action sequence. I don't really mind but I wanted it presented in a way that would make anime viewers express some doubt, just like how this moment in the novel made people go "wtf just happened, hax"

Yeah, well the whole introduction of heathcliff, first the character, and then his actual combat prowess feels so rushed, it's no wonder they kinda rushed that part aswell, atleast they should have put kirito thinking about it afterwards into it, well atleast mention it or so.. but oh well... they also skipped the whole thing about Kirito asking Kuradeel if it was revenge for the two guys he had killed in the LC Crusade, which seems really odd after they actually showed PoH to us 2 episodes ago..

Wow, the is the most "rushed" episode of SAO... Never thought they could compressed the LN version this way... well that's the downside.
A lot of I considered "Valuable scenes" lost their emotional impact in respect to the two characters relation development.... and.... the harassement cue didn't appear.? |

PoH recruited him is as well because once again at that time PoH should have been in hiding.

There's no evidence that the LC have been destroyed in the anime, and I doubt there will be since it'd be horribly anticlimactic to reveal that a group that's been set up as recurring villains was destroyed off screen. The writers either have a plan to include the crusade before the end of the series, or they're going to let the plot drop until GGO.

I'm hoping we get some resolution to the LC plot, but with the announced titles for upcoming episodes, I don't see where it could fit in. |

So in that sense Asuna being powerless yet still working from within those limitations is appropriate. I really don't think the writing of ALO was very good, but it's consistent on that front, at least until Kayaba pops in as a DEM. I really liked the knife fight at the end though, when Kirito realizes that he's not helpless. Then GGO goes on to explore the dark side of the same themes, with another SAO veteran who has a completely different reaction to realizing that he lacks "true strength" in the real world. |

Like I said, probably to serve as foreshadowing of Kuradeel's Laughing Coffin connection. Given how little they've changed, and what their time contraints are, I doubt they'll do anything further with LC this season. |
