It's pretty nonsensical that it's compatible. How would a normal nervegear or amusphere scan your Flut Light? That technology's supposed to be way above the current game interface technology available in the market. I hope all that part will be edited out from the LN version.

The only sort of justification that i can give is that the client the "hacker" put on the internet some how alleviates that problem, by doing what Javier said, and simply connects the player to an Avatar. I doubt this method would work if the UW was moving faster than RT, seeing as AmuSphear can't alter one's perception of time.

Yeah I was thinking about the whole use of Avatar clients and time being set at a 1:1 pace between UW and the RW. It makes sense in that way.
Kinda sucks though since it brings up the possibility of just relogging in...

Then again, if he did, we wouldn't see Kirito own them.

But... Sugou IS one-dimensional... And so is Gabriel ._.
Though I don't believe SAO is rubbish, I just wish Reki could make another interesting villain, with real motives behind his actions. I mean, Sugou, I can sort of understand, on some level, because he wanted money. But he seemed crazy and delusional with his god-complex, without any good reason. I suppose I just prefer villains to be complex, and varying... |

Can there be a multi dimensional sociopath? I don't think so, unless you can somehow get into the head of that sociopath. Sugou bears all the hallmarks of classic sociopathy - I think the problem is, it's just too cliche, even if such people DO exist in the real world. Plus , the anime fails hard at exploring internal motivations, and of course, the only hint of what drives Sugou appeared in Mother's Rosario, when Asuna was arguing with her mother.
And I think the other issue that will draw hate is Kirito taking out 30k people through the Incarnate system. Then again, I think SAO has acquired a huge vociferous hatedom, and I foresee some very ugly arguments once a second season comes out. Especially Mother's Rosario, where some desperate haters might just engage in homophobia over Asuna's joke with Yuuki. I don't envy the mods. Then again, I might be being too cynical of how the haters would receive the GGO and Mother Rosasrio's arcs. |

@novalysis I feel it's still too early to say that the anime will show Kirito taking out 30k people through the Incarnate Power. Since the light novel is still in the early stage of Alicization arc, there is a possibility that Kawahara might change the story for a fair bit. But even so, I didn't find Kirito's method of wiping out 30k people nonsensical at all. It's just Kawahara was writing it in a rather exaggerated way.

Of course it can. You don't focus on what he is (a sociopath, in this case) but on why he became like that. Because that's the thing: no one is born evil. So you give the character depth by building up his backstory. Sometimes it's really simple actually, like Makishima from psycho-path, who became a murderer as a result of being "ignored" by the system, so to speak. Well, it's more complex than that but if you watch the series you know what I mean.
Anyway, the problem with Reki's villains is that he never really develop them. Why did Kayaba end up so obsessed about building his own fantasy world and make it "reality". We don't really know (there's a vague flashback that doesn't really explain much). Why did Sugou get so twisted? We don't know either. Maybe that's another reason Mother Rosario is the only SAO novel I really like: there's no villain. Without villains, and without Kirito, suddenly Reki was free to delve into character building, and he does a pretty good job at building Asuna's character. Too bad there's only one volume like that....

I personally feel Gabriel's not really "one-dimensional", but that might be because I actually have access to a readable version of WEB 6 (Chinese)
And as for Kirito being a badass by late Alicization, well that is quite a long way off with plenty of room to develop there. TTGL didn't start off with galaxy-breaking attacks and DBZ didn't start off with Super Saiyan 3. If a newbie to those series that have just finished watching the first few episodes of those series were told how the end-game power levels will turn out s/he'd be dubious at the development of the series too, and the same is happening here. I'd advise people here to keep reading the LNs as they come out, and not just drop the series because of summaries - I try and keep in details, but often it doesn't capture the moment adequately |

I LOVE SUPERPOWERS so i think it's not bad haha + i think LN might explain the fact why kirito OWNED the 30k people using Incarnate system, or he will change the scene where ALO players joint forces with kirito to defeat them?
