Actually, the "mad inventor girl" was just an approximation. Replace mad with simply "inventor girl", one of those girls in anime who has a reputation for producing gadgets, gizmos and invention (think Rika from Hagani or Mayoi from Acchi Kocchi) . A tinkerer. But yes, Kirito's GGO pictures come to mind. Tall and slender, quite a cool beauty- a tall, dark and Bishoujo Inventor/Tinkerer Kuudere. |

The author did a partial version It was gonna happen sooner or later.
On further reflection, I have decided i will not waste my time with responding to Randomzx. He's obviously so much cleverer than I am, despite his utter lack of ability to debate coherently, or to even spell and use proper grammar. I have better things to do with my time.

Well, he's a gamer freak (remember he applied for beta tester) and all gamer freaks are very competitive. They (we) want to be the best, highest leveled, and better equipped than everybody else. Also, he is driven (like Asuna) to finish the death game.
Anyway, GENDER-BENDER KIRITO? Please no. It's bad enough he's being accused of Gary Stu, now people want a gender-bender as well? WTF. Are we going to have a YAOI as well? Let him be!

Spoiler for Level:
You know, Asuna is in some ways even more incredible then Kirito. After all, she was a complete novice at this sort of thing when she started and ended up being one of the top players in the game. Question I'm curious about is: What would everyone say Kirito's general character arc is? The one in SAO I think is rather evident, but what about the later stories? I know general events, but not specifics and am just starting the 3rd novel. Finding his place in the real world? Something like that?

Spoiler for Volume 1:
Spoiler for Volume 4:
He's so good he gets the best gear. He does not. Asuna, Cradil, just about everyone uses better gear then him. He has no helmet, he has no armor, he has Light Leather gear and invests everything in swords. So yeah, his swords are gonna be good, even then it's mentioned that one of them is far weaker then what he could have at this point. So that's completely untrue. He's not rich. In or out of the game. Again, Asuna, Agil, Lizbeth have a better houses then him in game, both Klein and Agil have better careers then him RL, Asuna is richer then him in RL and so on. Spoiler for Phantom Bullet:
You say that nearly all his mistakes are someone else's fault or some melodramatic tragedy. No. He chose to puss out on kendo and hide himself in videogames while sticking his sister with the duty. He ran out on Klein, straight up, he lies about his true level and hides information about the dunguon they are in from the guilt he's in, OBVIOUSLY these are his own mistakes, and screwed people over as a consequence. He is flocked by goodlooking girls. 1. one is his sister, it is not a coincidence that he comes across her or manages to get a foot in the door as opposed to other MMOers, they LIVE together, 2. Lizbeth is specifically described to be not all that attractive she does not have Asuna idolstatus in the least, 3. Yui isn't hot either, or in love with him. 4. Silica is not described as hot either, just cute as in, youngest person in SAO pretty much. Asuna and Sinnon's avatar are hot that's all. And what, a main character can't score with ONE hot girl in a story anymore? What stories do you like seriously, I'll bet someone scores with a hot girl in one of them. Maybe even in several. I'll even bet that your hero is REALLY good at what he does. His party is the top tier and always gets the best equipment WHEN? It is never ever mentioned that Asuna, Lyfa, Agil or Klein's equipment are the best of the best or anywhere near that. Sinnon lucks into a great sniperrifle which is the main reason she is high in the rankings and ends up mattering in first place Spoiler for Volume 8:
Asuna, Klein, Kirito and Agil are in the clearer parties. They are not in anyway alone. In both SAO and ALO it is made clear that there many others. It is mentioned in Novel 7 that he has long since been surpassed by many others. Also is being suicidal a great waifu trait, or being firmly under the dump of your disapproving mother? Spoiler for Volume 1-8:
Also yeah, Spoiler for Mother's Rosario:
So among the ten thousand that get trapped in SAO he is counted among the few thousand that dare to risk their lives to win, and is among the few hundred of those that survive, the 1 in ten that were betatesters for this game before and was already an MMO lover before this and because of his insecurities he fights alone and doesn;t share his experience with people. As a result of these advantages he rises to level that few others obtain and plays the part of the hero in the 1 on 1 fight against the villain. The story mysteriously decides to focus on him rather then some guy grinding for ore for two years. I wonder why. Also he gets the girl after saving her. Is this really, really such an incredibly bad thing? Now I'll admit. Spoiler for Phantom Bullet:

Chiibi's two cents: Kirito's awesome with a very cute shy side and he's intelligent and cunning too. And DAT VOICE. *love* Quote:
I've done my research on Mary Sues and they're essentially this type of character: *someone everybody loves *someone who doesn't have any "real" flaws *someone who has all the answers *someone who is outrageously skilled and "special" and unique in the universe of the series *someone who gets everything handed to them on a silver platter without working hard *someone who is basically an author-self-insertion character. Most creators of anime and manga don't create characters like this because they're not that stupid. So they are hard to find. Only two of them come to mind at the moment: Uchiha Sasuke (Naruto) and Kumashiro Sakuya (Shin-Tenchi Muyo)....and they obviously have a TON of haters, no? We're two episodes in and Kirito doesn't seem to have ANY of the Sue characteristics. If he was a Sue, he'd be owning everyone/thing left and right and he'd been able to predict the boss's every move or solve everyone's problems or stop everyone from dying-everyone would make him their leader as well-THOSE things are what Sues do. Kirito's not a Sue. =_= If people are still going to argue about him, HERE'S a way to settle things: http://www.springhole.net/writing/marysue.htm TAKE IT FOR HIM. lol
