You sure? Because Saito usually has choice things to say about your... methods. :k

I feel like I started something here :heh:

I don't think Saito ever enjoyed being blown up.

Wait wait wait, WHAT? Why would he forcefully lock 300 players in the game when tenths of thousands willingly entered the fairy world? Seems like a huge legal liability... :heh:

Really, I should stop expecting logic and intelligence from a novel written by 15 years old... :heh:

That's not it, he took 300 players that were going to be unplugged from SAO and rerouted them towards his own place effectively still trapping them.

I know, but again: why?
Plot device, plot device... :heh:

basically. It's a poorly plot device overall and the arc plot it's self sucks. But I like the Alfhiem world itself it's beautiful, and I like "Leafa" helluva lot more than Asuna but that's just my subjective opinion.

I don't really care about either of the girls (tsundere watashi-no shumi janai kara-ne), but I do agree that a world in which I could fly is definitely a world I would gladly spend many hours of my life. :D

:heh::heh::heh::heh:

It's not like the outside world knows what he's doing right? Think about that.

They didn't volunteer to be tortured and brainwashed. And if they start being unable to logout, the police will ask him questions, instead of blaming the first terrorist.
