Now then, we could assume pencils became outdated in 30 years time, 2036. We could assume that Graphite Edge might be one of the pioneers of BB. This is my opinion only.

Actually, SAO begins in 2022.

If that's the case, then he might be around the same age as KYH. Since it was mentioned the GE had enough points to reach Level 9 yet stayed as Level 8. Wait a minute... Why did he stay as Level 8 then? Unless he knew the condition of a Level 9. But that's unlikely. He may have just decided to stay after hearing about the that.

Mhm. Then there's no way he's Kirito, then. But we can't get scratch out the possibility that GE may be Kirito's offspring..

Maybe he didn't want to become a target for the other level 9's or something along those lines?

or he wait until he got an one on one battle with a level 9 then when he is sure that he is gonna win, he level up and got the kill . Unless lev 9 bonus is something extremely good, nobody will want to lev up to lev 9, "full physical burst" is not worth the risk , that might explained there are only 7 lev 9 now.

Sao and AW are in the same timeline. Kirito and Asuna make a brief cameo appearance in volume 7 of AW. The AW timeline would be in the future of the SAO timeline. I'm pretty sure Kirito doesn't know of sao. In the crossover when he got attacked he said theirs no way a game like this should exist since the pain threshold is unusually high.

That so.. First I've ever heard of that.

[Deathrip]

Isn't it just a crossover? I'm sure the LN writer stated that AW isn't in the same timeline as SAO.

I don't know. Like I said, I haven't heard anything about those two making an appearance in AW at all. *shrug*

[churchblue]

Wait, Brain Burst was introduced in 2006 and Graphite Edge was one of the first? How did he get in?

[XxSleepyxX]

It was a short appearance they went to go shopping. The tech of AW doesn't exist in SAOs timeline. It would be in development. It would impossible for Kirito to be in SAO. Number 1 hes too old. Number 2 he doesn't have a neurolinker. Those aren't even invented yet.

Ah, I see.

And I think you mean it's impossible for Kirito to be in AW? And yep, those reasons make sense, and are also why I think GE is probably Kirito's child.

[sky black swordman]

^ Thats what I said.
The question is it a boy or a girl ?
And here is another one, he could also be AW verision of Kirito.

[Mura]

^If he is the AW version of Kirito then everyone else is basically screwed.

It would be a very nice twist if Kirito was in the AW timeline but there are so many things are against it from what I've read.

My thoughts:

Spoiler for SAO Vol10 spoilers + WMG:

Considering the Underworld, the possible precursor to AW (ie, FluctLight connection) is based off The Seed, which in turn was from SAO... it could just be Sword Skills are in some shape or form still in AW, and Graphite Edge got his hands on the Two Sword style.

Or Graphite Edge is a FluctLight copy of Kirito in BrainBurst, like how Chrome Falcon and Saffron Blossom have their minds in AW despite no longer a Burst Linker (which also might explain the older brother part of 'Ash Roller'). Though this assumes the program 'BrainBurst2039', and the other models 'AccelAssault2038' and 'CosmosCorrupt2040' are also government experiments like Project Alicization. Graphite Edge would basically be something like the Cardinal System of SAO, a avatar of the system but hangs out with a legion for fun.

Is SAO related to to AW?

Nope SAO isn't related to AW. Flere might be onto something though.

Nah. Its shouldn't be possible. Kirito shouldn't be able to make appearance within the world. It isn't his domain.

Anyone take note what so special about piggy other than the fact he has wings? Its his speed. What does Kirito have in common with piggy? Speed. Thats how he got his dual blades. The author gives "speed" to the protagonist of his stories.

[SABER60069]

I'm pretty sure Kirito got dual blades due to his reaction speed, I always thought Asuna is better in terms of speed itself.

Basically thats what i'm talking about. Their reaction speed. Both main characters of both stories thats what they have in common.

This might be a slight possibility but maybe Kuroyukihime is actually Kirito and Asuna's daughter? It would make sense shes a dual blade user. She manged to hack her ID card so it says Kuroyukihime (Hacking skills Kirito). Shes part of a rich family (Asuna)? But her name is never given to us.

Yeah, it's possible, but it may mean that Asuna and Kirito are dead, as none of KYH's relatives showed up while she was fighting for her life in the hospital. Another popular fan theory is that those two are just horrible parents.

Well knowing Kirito and his research hes probably not in Japan. He'd probably be in America researching something else. Not so sure about Asuna though... she'd probably stick to him like glue. I thought their was a butler or something that came to see her. But yeah. Even if they where her parents. I'd doubt the author would let them make a apperance that easily even if its a life and death situation at least not that early on in the story.
