I cant say I wouldn't love to see it. the Duel I mean.
But it is more likely to be about you said about Kirito partying with Asuna.
But wouldn't that name be better used for the episode when they battle the monster and Kirito pulls out his second sword .

Well, the image of Kirito's black sword crossed with Asuna's white sword is already used in the OP, so I think it makes sense. It could definitely refer to the Dual Blade reveal, but I guess it depends on how much time they can cover in one episode.

Honestly, so much time can't be covered in one episode

As the bossfight is in Chapter 11 and till now we have only Chapter 2+3 covered by the first episode; so it most likely only refers to the partying of Asuna and Kirito

Awrya · 2012-08-04, 08:34

Shouldn't the duel be before A Murder? Just reread some parts and Kirito mentioned the 1v1 duel between them.
My guess is they start with the rabbit raggout meat, basically following the LN, with Kirito beating Cradil and they start partying.

Well the PV for episode 5 shows Kirito and Asuna arguing in front of the clearing group, so there's a very good chance the duel will be in the ep. They'll probably use it to show what the victor message looks like instead of having Kirito and Asuna stand around explaining to each other why Kains couldn't've died in a duel.

Isn't that a normal knowledge? the duel winner message i mean? because in the LN when Kirito tell other players to look for the winner message, he mentions that the others understand what he meant

Players in the game do, but we in the audience don't. In the book Kirito and Asuna have a discussion about whether the message could've appeared where none of the witnesses saw it. In the anime it'd make more sense to show us an actual duel so the audience can see that the murder wasn't part of one.

Since the anime loves to omit things, highly doubt that will happen. Guess we'll find out in 1 or 2 hours anyway

Utsuro no Hako · 2012-08-04, 14:36

Well, no duel shown. Instead we had Kirito and Asuna telling each other about PKing by starting duels with sleeping players -- which they both already knew about but still discussed anyway.

I'm curious about CR's subs -- they have Yoroko saying that Grimlock and Griselda were married in the game but not real life. I suppose she could just be mistaken, but that seems like a weird bit of misdirection since it hides a major clue. Can anyone with better Japanese listening skills than mine confirm the dialogue?

Deltaray · 2012-08-04, 15:04

Well, time to start observing anime only viewers discussing who is behinds those murders ^^

In Japanese she also said it like that, roughly like this:

"Grimrock-san is Griselda-san's husband, in the game that is"

I think the sub also translated it like that or nearly like that with the same meaning

It could just mean that she didn't know about it in this episode, but that it will be explained in next one, if so why anime decided to handle it that way I don't know.

In the LN it's Grimrock himself who stated that Griselda was his wife in real, he explains it on the scene in her grave. Apparently all the Golden Apple members just happen to not know that they're couples in real aswell.

Okay thanks for telling, it really has been while since I did read this chapter, as I do find it most boring.

Netto Azure · 2012-08-04, 18:23

Well with the episode list out...guessing time I guess.

I'm thinking this season will be 13 episodes so...

Spoiler:

Thoughts?

styr · 2012-08-04, 18:30

@Netto

That means 13 episodes for ALO arc? That seems a bit.. drawn out, considering it takes place much faster than SAO. Oh well, it does take place across 2 volumes. I suppose they just want to give enough time to include most of the plot for ALO?

I don't really mind though. I am looking forward to Kirito's sonic boom attack to save Lyfa and Kirito/Lyfa interaction with Yui. I've said this multiple times already but I want to see the Kazuto/Suguha kendo duel!

Xellos-_^ · 2012-08-04, 18:30

the cradil stuff only needs half a ep unless they want to go in on the LC stuff. So it would 1st half cradil, 2nd half marriage+honeymoon

It's going to be a 25 episodes format instead of 13

13 for SAO, 6 for ALO and 6 for GGO

and before anyone say , you can't cram in 2vols in 6 eps.

SAO is 13ep only becuase of the side stories added in. If just counting the original 2 vol of material it would only be 7eps.

Too much pushing still, I'd rather be 1 season for SAO and 1 season for ALO+GGO
