Won't be weird if that happen since I believe the Kayaba that was helping Kirito's fight with Sugou by giving Kirito a GM access with higher priority than Sugou's is his fluclight.

Gotta say I really like this cliffhanger. I find it funny how non novel readers were discussing about serious leveling and how to defeat The Skull Reaper, not knowing how close we are at clearing the game. Needless to say, I’m eagerly waiting to observe their reactions after episode 14. By the time they realize what’s going on, it’s already over… literally. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You could say I'm a bit dissapointed that it didn't end at the Kayaba reveal cliffhanger, since doing so would be...astounding for the thread itself.

I wonder how much they will spoil in the next episode preview.

I remember in the LN it pretty much skipped from the end of this episode to the aftermath of the fight.

It seems there's very little they can show while not revealing anything.

ronelm2000 · 2012-09-30, 22:01

Well I think they could preview the Heathcliff vs Kirito fight and...Asuna suddenly... BAM!

I think Ronelm2000 is forgetting that volume 7 covered the 27th? floor boss and Asuna stood no chance of soloing that.

Didn't Asuna reset her skill, or rather re-distributed her points since she decided to put points in magic skills? Or did she do the same thing as Kirito, and kept her old character avatar, but started over from scratch?

IIRC, its mentioned that her Rapier skill level isn't as high as it was in SAO, but its compensated since theres no System Assist in ALO outside SAO Sword Skills that they ported over, so the change didn't hurt her very much.

That said it's been noted that ever since Aincrad was ported to ALO, boss fights and normal monsters are a lot more dangerous... Probably because not all of the SAO sword skills were ported, perhaps.

On the other hand, Asuna practically soloed the level 21 boss, so...

Her POV 3rd person narration claims she forgot about healing and was consumed by a desire for combat and securing her little house in the woods and charged right through Klein to kill the boss.

SAO bosses in ALO is a lot harder both to new re-design as well as the inclusion of magic.

There should be more than enough episodes to cover the ALO arc. Doesn't the events of the two novels go pretty quickly?

I honestly thought Asuna used different characters/buildsets for the 27th floor boss and the 22nd floor boss. Plus, again the fact that there's no leveling system in ALO (i think)... which means...well that.

Plus, that the 27th floor boss may have more physical resistance than the 22nd floor boss...?

Asuna has 2 characters in ALO, one is her converted SAO stats character and another one is her newly created one.

Kirito's shocked face during the battle is enough that something might have happen to Asuna...

If they'll skip the ALO Side Stories... No rushing might happen...

The only ALO side story is Salvia and that is a very short one that they may or may not include without any major impact on time.

Well at least it's better than the spoiler that it will be the last ep of Aincrad.

Next episode preview? Honestly, I think that they can spoil absolute jack squat, assuming that they end Ep 14 by:

Epic idea of a preview you got there. Definitely the one that screws up the minds of the anime only fans.

That sounds more of a preview for ep.15 than ep.14. I was talking about the preview for the final events of Aincrad (ep.14), which they will show this week.

next preview probably continue with boss fight then short glimpse of asuna dying

ronelm2000 · 2012-10-01, 21:57

Then it wouldn't be fun at all. The Preview won't be able to screw with the minds of the people viewing it. They'll shrug that the episode really means that Asuna will die and Kirito will have to continue on 25 floors without him, suffering 8 episodes of angst. Scilica gains the levels to meet up with her, Lizbeth moves houses to the more upper floors, then, miraculously gain the mastered skill (the max 1000 Skill Points) of Dual Blades and defeat the 100th floor episode then season 1 ends.

well that pessimistic people will think. most of them probably will think "nah she will be OK. no way that main female die easily"

Divini · 2012-10-01, 22:49

Actually if you show her getting slashed, but not reveal where it came from, that would work too.

Everyone would just assume it's from the boss.

Unless it's a clean sword-like slash... then we'll have a problem after that....
