I don't know which translation I saw, but "Sterben" can not be translated as "death". As a verb it means "to die", as a noun it means "the action/event of dying", but under no circumstances can you translate it as "death" (the actual German word for death is "Tod").
To summarize: Sterben = the action/event of dying sterben = to die Tod = death tot = dead

First half is basically more of Kirito and Sinon sitting around the cave talking random strategy, basically voiding most of the previous strategy discussions. Second half has Kirito pull a Matrix style crap of apparently being able to sense killing intent within a game from quite a distance, as well as being able to hear someone's footsteps from quite a distance away as well.

Seriously, right now - even ALO seems like a better part out of three. Hopefully we are getting Mother's Rosario next and soon.

Discussing the remaining players.
Also, their possible locations. Strategizing about the game and Sinon situation in RL. It's nice they switched from talking to some action. Their trap was good, but was it good enough? Well, it almost worked.. Sterben (Death) vs Kirito! A battle of words, but very interesting ones. The real battle will be shown next time.

Kirito charging @ deathgun doing his jedi thing was fun as usual.
It was bs how he dodged the sniper shot from hearing it while closing his eyes though, whatever Kirito. lol @ Dark Wind. lol @ Kirito not knowing deathgun's name cause he didn't want to hear it. Screentime at the end wasted by Asuna. She has good looking clothes on though. And man, Yui. Couldn't Yui solve everything? She's the original with admin. powers of SAO, the seed of every vrmmo right now. She could just hack into the servers and find out deathgun's info, but they probably just wave it off as "strange US server" even though it shouldn't really make a difference. But Yui is apprentenly able to hack into a TV just from Asuna's MP3 player?! what? Is this Kagerou Project?

If the feed is going to the Internet (And hey, why not get players to watch the stream even if they don't have AmuSpheres? Eyeballs are ad money!), then all Yui would have to do would be to find the URL and switch the TV's browser to the link. My phone and TV can do that now, if I wanted to.

In other words - they did pretty poor job by rushing through the important development parts and not stretching the action parts - this is as stupid as it can get.

In other words, his sixth sense is based on a bit of extra lag? This could be possible depending on the nature of the game's clientside/serverside interaction, but that seems relatively minor compared to the amount of data that the system must be shunting around just to function.

The killing intent was a bit silly, but as a whole I enjoyed the episode. Maybe they should have just had Death Gun not have a silencer and say Kirito's hearing is really good because of stats .
I honestly never expected Kirito to personally know this guy anyways. I mean he met how many people during the time he spent in SAO? Plus in a situation where people are trying to kill you I can't say I would particularly be concerned about their names. Just like how people generally don't introduce themselves during a robbery . As to the tactics it made sense. Having a plan before sending out the "I'm here" signal is a good idea so you don't have to come up with something under pressure. But once the situation changed then yeah you need to change the plan. The episode as a whole was pretty enjoyable I felt. A good chance for Sinon to take out a top player while still facing her fears. Even got to take a crack at Death Gun at the same time. The start of the fight against Death Gun was pretty solid because this guy is that good. A good old physical blade vs light saber matchup. In the end even if Kirito doesn't know this guy's name it's entirely possible one of Asuna or Klein might. I presume him having that kind of particular weapon will be his downfall since it only makes it easier to identify him. You just have to drag in the Laughing Coffin members you do know the names for and drag the info out of them in the worst case scenario.
