This episode basically sets up the 2nd arc.

Lots of fun expressions / tsukkomis from Karen this week.

We get a bit of LLENN as well at least:

rofl

Pito sounds so effin crazy. and Goushi ain't that sane either. What has LLENN gotten herself into!

[4th Dimension]

Yup. Pito is nuts. Not sure how much I care about this wrinkle. But we'll see.

Anyway, anyone found the voice of the blonde highschooler REAAAAALLY weird. She is speaking as if she has been huffing helium.
I guess that's what Japan thinks foreigners sound?!?

[Anh_Minh]

That M is so creepy. Why did Karen even accept to see him alone?

Also, LLENN acting cute is fine, but when you remember she's actually a college student, it's pretty weird.

[zeross87]

i don't like this development :/ i mean we had LC as villain for 2 season already (and one spinoff manga) we don't really need their fan now.

i assume karen friend is that blondie from the opening, she look as crazy as the rest of them. we didn't see much of her so let's see if she's a interesting character.

so how do all those guys manage to find the real person behind the players like it's nothing. at least the amazon squad had the little p-chan key-chain to tips them off...
i think the most logical reason would be that like everyone is guessing pito is kanzaki elza and the fan letter tipped her off of llen real identities and she leaked it to M i guess ?


on another note : so p-chan really was destroyed during the last fight, like not just for the battle but forever? that's kinda harsh game design there. "droped this perfect legendary riffle from this annoying boss at last ? well it's destroyed go drop it again, glhf"

[Tenzen12]

She isn't fan of LC though I didn't see episode yet, so I don't know if M said it

Spoiler for Pito regrets:

Yes, she wanted go nuts and slaughter other people in name of Justice, ie she wanted be PKK, which means LC would be like her most precious prey

It was said here, and in the LN, that she would have been happy either being a member of LC or being a person who got to hunt LC. Being able to kill other people and being in a situation where she can be killed herself is what excites her: she doesn't care what cause she would need to support so long as she could do that.

Or... as the sponsor of SG2, Pito had access to the player list and found LLENN that way and gave the info to M.

[LoweGear]

I like that the ridiculousness of M and Pito's situation is rightfully seen as crazy. Karen's "I'm so done with this shit" thoughts and expressions are wonderful to behold

That 'Zekken' namedrop though....

[Lukes YGO & WS on YT]

Spoiler for Episode 6 Comments/Feedback:

I think she loves her guns a bit too much, either way it's an upgrade that will be very helpful in the future.

Her friend got to fight against Yuki.

We still don't know how M knows who the real LLENN is.

I don't get Pito at all, both of them are completely messed up, after all that I still have no idea why Pito is obsessed with death.

I originally thought she was a survivor and a member of Laughing Coffin which is why she's obsessed with death but she didn't get to be in it at all.

I'm glad Goushi admitted that he wasn't right in the head.

Hopefully LLENN defeats her and we meet the real Pito and learn why she is the way she is.

[Friday]

well in a way that Pito was not part of the"LC".....

not really. :/

[SeaDoor]

After a very enjoyable first 5 episode, this one was a clunker. I realize they are setting up the next arc but everything about the way the setup unfolded just took me completely out of the story.
The appropriate and straight forward response for the MC was to call the cops and notify the game admins. No ifs-ands-or buts. I sorry but I feel the writers just blew this one plus can they make it any more obvious who Pito is?!? Bad episode is bad.

[Wandering Soul]

So Pitou is crazy and M is creepy? Seems like they should make a good pair for each other.

Wasn't expecting that Zekken name-drop.

The thing is, she doesn't have any proof that they'll do it. I doubt Goushi or Pito will admit their plan to the cops either.

even if she has the player list, she don't have access to their real name and address. the main SAO serie during the ggo part made it clear that registering for BoB was the first time the players were asked for RL info and that was even optional.
as llen started to play after the boB she should never had inputted those info into the game.

Getting tracked down IRL by M was plenty bad enough to get the cops involved, I thought... Or at least the admins.

[moridin84]

...

How kind of nonsensical plot is this?

I checked novel and you are indeed right. Somehow only more symphatetic part of that paragraph stuck in my memory.
