Thanks for the explanations. One other thing I was wondering about
: why did Diabel turn down the potion Kirito was offering him? Guilt?
I also thought there were remarkably few fat dudes considering an MMO's typical audience. Perhaps they were among the 2k that died early on? Asuna also seemed to be the only female in the entire boss battle raiding party (and Egil the only black guy), but that probably represents most MMOs pretty well.
