who else felt the compression way too much in the last 3 minutes of the last episode?... when asuna tells kirito about heathcliff and then he is in KOB HQ and then ready for the fight... in LN that part is like 1 chapter and a half.

That made me think the next one the fight will be short, and kuradel vengenace will be even more fast and unimportant somehow.

Hope i am wrong.

In the LN, the chapter feels long because it has many monologue while in the anime most monologues are omitted.

I really hope they don't cut out the fishing adventure. I think it is important that they include Asuna's comments about "the meaning behind the two years of my life spent here" in Chapter 19. They'll change it some since he did add extra stuff, but hopefully they mention it somewhere before the 75th boss fight.

Spoiler for From 19::

My guess is that it goes:

Episode 10 - Crimson Killing Intent
Asuna yelling at Kirito for accepting duel / explaining KoB leader's ability as the intro
1st half - Kirito losing the duel, getting ready to join the guild
2nd half - Poisoning / Saved by Asuna, ends with them confessing to each other (or not having the saving part til episode 11)

Episode 11 The Morning Dew Girl
Asuna/Kirito telling KoB they need a break, him telling her he wants to spend night
1st half - Him / Asuna in her house - proposal - buying a house
2nd half - Meeting Yui, Going to 1st floor, learning about the army / deciding to help find leader

Episode 12 Yui's Heart
1st half - exploration, boss
2nd half - yui's goodbye, going back to their house

Episode 13 The Depths of Hell
Kirito fishing + meeting old man as intro
1st half = Fishing adventure, saying goodbye and Asuna explaining why kirito is so important to old man
2nd half = - learning about the 75th floor boss and getting ready to fight

Episode 14??
Boss + Reveal + end

I hope they dont too. But that other part maybe change because of SS's and Aria.
Also I think people are forgetting the talk they had after he lost. The talk about why Kirito does not join guilds.

I think you should really get out of this thread before it gets worse, and yes it can get worse than Heathcliff's identity

I wasn't planning on sticking around. I only enter this thread to clear it of new posts normally and noticed I was quoted. I only posted to let people know I wasn't actively spoiling people in the episode threads, because I don't feel like getting banned.

I read the major spoilers on Bakatsuki on Novel 15 so does that mean that SAO only last to 15 books?

ronelm2000 · 2012-09-03, 22:53

Eh? Really? I haven't seen that.

Can you give the link or something? thanks.

Lol suddenly I remembered that SS. It was very.... *goes to get author and tries blackmail him for getting that story into canon territory*

Ah, so that's how it is. But it hasn't been totally established yet that there won't be an arc after Alicization.

It just means that Alicization arc will end at Volume 15. Whether there'll be any continual after that arc or not is still uknown at this point

All shall be revealed in time (meaning: I have no clue who or what the observer really is). But for now it feels more like a plot gimmick to introduce an "interesting" POV.

Also if you read the spoilers about the end of the Alicization arc then you will understand that it's basically meant to be the "conclusion" of SAO. Of course, it's always possible that the author changes his mind and picks up the story again. It's not like he hasn't retconned stuff extensively before, and the upcoming rewrite for the light novel version of Alicization also gives a perfect opportunity to do so. Though I'm not sure he can top Alicization in terms of conspiracy theories.

It won't. The author already said so in his twitter account.

Besides the characterization in that doujin doesn't even makes sense in context with all that happened in Alicization (and before) anyway.

I read that and I shattered into tiny little fragments.

If they gonna end it... then at least make a jump of 10 years seeing the two get married and have a child named Yui....

This MUST happen.

But it probably won't, since it kinda goes against the sort of "forget reality, embrace the fantasy" feel the series as a whole has. I think that's why the Web Novel ended in the way it did.

But we'll see.

They'll change it some since he did add extra stuff, but hopefully they mention it somewhere before the 75th boss fight. Spoiler for From 19:: "Until half a year ago, I also thought about those sorts of things and cried by myself every night. As each day passed here, it felt as if everything: my friends, my family, going to college, everything related to the real world was being ruined. I always dreamed of the other world when I slept... I thought that all I could do was to get stronger quickly, to clear this game faster, and the only way to do so was to fanatically train my weapon skills." I looked at Asuna in surprise. Although I never paid much attention to others before... but I never felt anything like this from her during all our interactions. Well, this wouldn't be the first time that I had guessed someone's personality wrong... Asuna caught my gaze and smiled briefly before continuing: "But on a day about half a year ago, after I had just teleported to the city on the front-lines, I saw someone taking a nap on the grass of the plaza. He looked as if he was at a pretty high level, so I got angry and said, 'If you have time to kill here, go into the dungeon and try to clear some more of it...!'" Then she covered her mouth with her hand and laughed. "Then that person unexpectedly replied, 'It's the best season in Aincrad, and the weather setting is really good too. It would be a shame to go into the dungeon on a day like this.' Then he gestured to the space next to him and said, 'Why don't you take a nap as well?' He was so rude." Asuna stopped smiling; her eyes became distant before she continued: "But what he said surprised me. I realized that 'this person was actually living properly within this world.' He didn't mind losing days in the real world and instead focused on experiencing each day within this world. I discovered that there were actually people like this, so I sent away the other guild members and tried laying down next to him. Because the wind felt so good... just the right warmth for people, I fell asleep. I didn't have any nightmares that time. It was probably the first time I had such a good sleep since coming to this world. By the time I woke up, it was already in the afternoon, and that person was looking at me impatiently. That person was him..." As she finished, Asuna tightly grasped my hand. I felt extremely embarrassed. I did sort of remember something like that, but... "Sorry, Asuna... I didn't mean anything that deep by it; I just wanted to take a nap..." "I knew that even if you didn't tell me!" Asuna pouted, then she turned back towards Nishida with a smiling face before continuing: "From that day on... I went to sleep thinking of him, and as a result the nightmares went away. I found out where his hometown was and would set aside some time to go see him every once in a while... Then I began to look forward to the coming of each day... When I realized that I was in love, I was so happy and swore to treasure this emotion. That was the first time when I thought that coming to this world was a great thing..." Asuna lowered her head, rubbing her eyes with her gloved hands, and then took a deep breath. "Kirito-kun is the meaning behind the two years of my life spent here. He is also the proof that I'm alive and the reason for looking forward to tomorrow. I had put on the Nerve Gear and come to this world in order to meet him. Nishida oji-san... It might not be my place to say this, but I think you've definitely achieved something within this world. There is no doubt that this is a virtual world, that everything we see and touch is an imitation created from data. But to us, our hearts do exist within this reality. If that's true, then everything we're experiencing here should also be true." Nishida blinked continuously and nodded several times. His eyes were moist behind his glasses. I was also trying my best to hold back my tears. My guess is that it goes: Episode 10 - Crimson Killing Intent Asuna yelling at Kirito for accepting duel / explaining KoB leader's ability as the intro 1st half - Kirito losing the duel, getting ready to join the guild 2nd half - Poisoning / Saved by Asuna, ends with them confessing to each other (or not having the saving part til episode 11) Episode 11 The Morning Dew Girl Asuna/Kirito telling KoB they need a break, him telling her he wants to spend night 1st half - Him / Asuna in her house - proposal - buying a house 2nd half - Meeting Yui, Going to 1st floor, learning about the army / deciding to help find leader Episode 12 Yui's Heart 1st half - exploration, boss 2nd half - yui's goodbye, going back to their house Episode 13 The Depths of Hell Kirito fishing + meeting old man as intro 1st half = Fishing adventure, saying goodbye and Asuna explaining why kirito is so important to old man 2nd half = - learning about the 75th floor boss and getting ready to fight Episode 14?? Boss + Reveal + end

Does anyone have any guesses for what the "observer" really is? AFAIK only human fluctlights are only implemented in that VR world, also they had 4 staff members to raise 12 <<soul prototype>> after that, how did they raise a family without anymore fluctlights? And also, what fluctlight did they use for the goblins, and the creatures living in the dark territory? __________________
