| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- About damn time they are taking the fight against Death Gun.... As I had expected, Kirito goes full out lightsaber proton sword mode against some of the other players. The fight was good I guess? Felt really fast paced though. Maybe they will finish this duel next time. Well Kirito is starting to figure it out anyways. |
 |
| Proceeding with the plan. He sensed the presence and was able to prevent from being killed. Both gunners' gun were destroyed. Asuna caught up and saw Kirito and that guy facing each other. Sterben = death? So he never knew his name. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Not a bad episode, though I think they dragged a little for the first part to end it at this cliff hanger. |
| So Kirito doesn't know his name because he didn't want to know it back then. This is getting to be an intense fight. |
 |
| The pace was a bit slow. That bullet scene was greatly done. We didn't find out anything new, I don't think Death Gun had such a big role in the first season. |

| Good ep. Esp the second half when the action picked up. Loved Sinon's BA sniping and Kirito's run while slicing through after his first dodge. Dat Double hit from Sterben and Sinon at the same time was nice too. |
 |
| Nice great ep, Kirito's OPness is not still OP..That sniping is great,. |
 |
| The plan to take out Dark Wind first then Death Gun. More Death Gun members then speculated from earlier! Dark Wind giving an opening as he is trying to get Kirito and getting shot then. Those two bullets just passing each other, thought they would deflect off each other and the bigger bullet wins :) Destroying each other's sniper. Turning into a sword fight! Can't believe Kirito refused to learn Death Gun's name thus unable get him in real life :O Death Gun having the upper hand with the superior weapon of an Estoc! |
 |
| Death Gun's sniper bullet is a bit bigger than Sinon's Hecate. Even without the Sniper, Death Gun is giving Kirito one hard battle. Wow, Death Gun is pawning Kirito, curse that cliffhanger. Asuna seems to know who Sterben is, as that estoc gave her a clue. Sinon got one amazing shot at Death Gun, go Sinon. Only ting that kind of ticked me off is how they made Dark Wind kind of weak. I was kind of expecting a bit of retaliation by him. |
 |
| Being bored by an episode is what SAO does best, but I'll admit it, this episode was great. SAO II is miles better than anything the original did, I guess Kirito complains alot more about reasonable subjects. Not just getting it into Asuna. The MGS 3 vibes were also huge in this episode, the tranquilizing sniper rifle is so much like The End. All the gun talks are juvenile in this, but I they could get out of hand in MGS frequently. Asuna's outfit is waifu approved as well. |
 |
| In SAO, Kirito won Death Gun but in GGO Death Gun fights upper hand on him. |

Kirito would know lol xD The background music during the DG vs Kirito fight is pretty good. Really helps setup the mood and cliffhanger. |
|
| Kirito and Death Gun have engaged in combat. It's Kirito's fault of why he doesn't know his name. He would have knew it but he had to not hear it. The cliffhanger sure was unexpected. I thought Kirito was gonna end it and reveal who Death Gun is. The last attack of Death Gun sure is familiar. Overall, decent episode. |
| Oh boi, the fight begins, it sure took it's time. Apparently it's impossible to know Death Gun's real identity, that looks bad for Kirito. |

| Kirito get rekt by one dimensional villian. |
"Hi!" |
| There's too much unnecesarry talking in this arc.Just when things got interesting it ends with cliffhanger...sigh. |
 |
| The beginning was a little slow, nut then there was action. So now we know the truth, kinda... since we don't know his name. And those OP snipers taking down buildings. |
ryanstrike said: I would have liked to see more action this ep. I mean the second half was good and the SAO flashbacks were cool but it's not what I had expected to see from last weeks ep. Those sniper bullets taking out that tower and Dark Winds rock he used as cover, Sinon's gun does work.In SAO, Kirito won Death Gun but in GGO Death Gun fights upper hand on him. |
| ---------My Profile------------ |
| I really liked the OST change just before Death Gun first hit Kirito ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ It really fitted GGO |
| The episode was great, i still don't understand why people complain way too much on the talking part. can't wait to see what happens next week. |
| They sure talk a lot in the middle of a fight. What is this? Naruto? In real life, someone would have appeared out of nowhere and taken the kills. RIP kaeeeeeede. You made it pretty far. I kind of laughed at how that ''best player'' got killed so easily. But I admit that teaming isn't fair and so he couldn't have guessed it. Asuna is there to help! ....Or do nothing useful. Well, maybe she can give her some of her energy Fate/stay night style ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Couldn't they (the Klein clan bitches) just report it to the police though? He basically admitted his method of crime in front of the camera. So the police could just go to Shino house and arrest the dude, no? |

| The moment where the bullets crossed their path was never-seen perfect animation. The last time i was catched from a stunning animation like this was in SAO I... when Kirito slowly lost his HP against Heathcliff, respawned and killed him... Ah, great memories... As a half Swiss, i already knew what Sterben meant.. Damn it! Great episode again. I still wonder what this Yui is able to do. Giving voice on a mobile-phone and showing the conbat scene on the hospital room television. Enigma! Can't wait the fight scene. Sad that Kirito did not want to know Death Gun's name... |

| How did Desu Gun get his skin with that laughing coffin tattoo? Aren't all the characters avatars randomized when they sign up? |
| That was a good episode (even though the quality, where can i find a high one?) though Kirito and Death Gun's talk before their battle took too long. Poor him, he was just about to say his name to Kirito but he didn't allowed it. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| He's finally facing Death Gun. I really want to see some real action in the next episode. Please don't disappoint me ˘-˘ |
 |
| Is it just me or did Death Gun's voice change? |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |
| Was an eh episode. They need to get on with it. Better than the second half of SAO, but this wasn't all that interesting. Not much really happens. The majority of the arc is in BoB. Not bad tho. The two bullets crossing was the best scene this ep. |
 |
| Hell yeah it's fated that what begins in SAO will be resolved with the clashing of swords. Looks like Sterben has the upper hand with his favored estoc, hitting open spots and Kirito can't block them. Man I have no idea how he is going to win this battle but would it seem like the show is hinting that Asuna will remember Sterben's SAO name and save the day lol? Can't wait to see how it ends. |
| They just can't keep up with that mofo Death Gun, dude's got the best gear in the game. He's like T15 while Kirito and rest are T12. |

| I love anime battle logic 'Swords better than guns every time' Anyway, I'm assuming this is a 2 arc season right? So the next ep should be the final one for this arc? |

| Looking forward to an actual battle. Too much talking! |
