Back when I played Ultima Online (which the author used as one of the references for this series), you can unequip your weapons and start punching things. It could happen right after you die and have no equipment as well. It is just a hand-to-hand combat skill.

In the end, Kirito protecting Asuna was the best.
Back in episode 8, Asuna explained to Kirito that the guild has grown too big, and Heathcliff (not the cat ) no longer personally choose and invite members to join. Kirito is probably the first member he requested to join in a long time. Heathcliff probably does not even know many of his members right now, as they would probably be under the command of some of his of vice commanders.

They have been living in this world for 2 years now, fighting for their life almost daily. It kind of brings it back to the old days, when people get married younger because life expectancy is shorter. They never know when they might die, so quick marriages make sense. You try to obtain happiness whenever you can not knowing if you will live the next day.

Yes, I'm sure he felt a little remorse. However, you have to remember that they have been living a life or death situation for 2 years now. Their lives have been killing things (monsters), which will gladly kill them without hesitation. Kirito has seen death around him more times than he would like, and one sort of gets immune to it over time. I'm sure it affected him, but in a world of kill or be killed, it should not weigh too heavily on him.

He refused to believe Kuradeel would hurt him so, despite his obvious hate of Kirito and crazed behavior.
I totally agree with you here. I was like, "why would you need to take crystals away." It absolutely did not make sense, when all he had to do was say, "don't use them, unless you absolutely have to." They are there for a reason, and if you end up needing to use them, there must be a very good reason.

Anyway, as for the episode itself, it was very entertaining. It seems that Heathcliff either has a special skill or a hack system that defeated Kirito in the end. He was not too happy that he had to use it, and probably more upset that Kirito saw him using it.

I never expected Kirito would join, since he is so natural in black. However, it does not change his situation with Asuna. It just increases his responsibilities.

Btw, that stadium looks like it would fit over 10,000 people, and it was filled to the brim. I wonder where all those people came from? NPC?

So Kirito is level 96 now. I wonder how high the maximum level will be? He usually keeps about 20 levels above the dungeon level, but if maximum level is 100, it will be more difficult and tougher on the higher levels. They are at the 70's floor level now. Not much further to go.
