Sword Art Online II - Episode 7



The day after Kirito's first GGO game, the players take stock. Shino has IRL issues, while the ALO girls notice Kirito's absence.

Heh.

This is the hug-it-out episode.

Also, girls talk to each other. Gah, don't main characters know this?

Spiegel in real life doesn't like how mad Shino is with Kirito. It means she's thinking about some other guy, instead of the perma-friend-zoned beta male.

Shino pushed Kyouji away with much more authority than Sinon pushed Kirito away. The harem grows.

Kyouji also noticed Shino making a gun with her hand without freaking out. This sparks more jealousy since it seems it was because of this other dude that she's bringing the strength of Sinon back to the real world for Shino.

Sugu still knows how to tease her older brother. He needs to stop trying to look cool and strong in front of her already. She saw what he was like when he first popped out of SAO, as did his rehab nurse.

The counseling session with the nurse was good stuff. Kirito's feelings of committing evil by killing people still haven't been reconciled with his knowing that he did those things in self-defense and survival. He also tried to forget those things since his escape, which wasn't all that long ago, but now that he is mostly healed and is starting to have a normal life, it's not surprising to see these psychological traumas start to spring up. Very old-fashioned story-telling.

Hey, people still play videogames for fun!



Poor dragon, with its big old tongue hanging out.

Hmm.

I'm not sure how the actual Bullet of Bullet tournament works, whether its a point-style system to move up rounds like in soccer, or whether its single-combat elimination. Seems a bit contrived to me that Kirito's first round after qualifying has to be against the player he beat in the final round previously. Well, we'll see how Sinon counters close-quarters gunplay like she did with the mini-gun tank we saw earlier.

Is Kirito hoping to draw this Death Gun guy into a match? I'm not clear on what he thinks his methods for investigation are supposed to be. He kind of short-circuited his original plan by trying to place highly in the tournament to make contact with Death Gun, but that already happened after one match. I hope they clear that up while we see more jedi sword wielding action. It's definitely time to find out more about this Death Gun and how we works in the game.
