| Great and interesting episode. Now we know more about Death Gun. In this episode we can see the Kawahara's premise in writing SAO - he has started to write it, after several murder incidents occurred, when some kids played too much video games and killed some people in real life (like that school's murder incident in Germany I guess, when the student brought a shotgun in school and shot like twelve classmates or so). Also, that ending made me lough when they realized the camera, viewers could think of that Kirito&Sinon are lesbians, haha. What if Asuna saw that part?... :x Haters gonna hate. :) P.S those overused ass-shots were a bit annoying, tho. |
| am I the only one sick and tired seeing sinon's ass every episode? The first time I thought it was a clever easter egg but not it's pure and unnecesairy fanservice >.> |

| Lol at those random ass shots. The only thing one pays attention to since this episode had loads of exposition. |
| Missing the times of Rewrite, good times. |
Dark_Messiah said: Byon-kun said: Should be renamed "Sinon Ass Online" I find it hilarious how Kirito doesn't act all nervous like most MC in harems when they see a naked body or ass in general. Either that or he didn't find Sinon's ass attractive since he quickly acted normally. Kirito: "Hmm, Sinon's ass?" Nope, Asuna's is better" xD |
 |
| Not bad, not bad... Hopefully more action in the next episode ;) |
 |
| at this pace the BoB is gonna take up the entire rest of season 2 |
 |
| that shots o.0 nice shinon fan service though hahaha i wonder what will asuna do after going to kirito's place of diving in. the war just getting started~~ |
| a dual-sword wielder, fire element in right arm and ice element in left arm |

| A friend I have likes to make theories about stuff like SAO II. And he knew everything from episode 3 onwards. And by that I mean everything revealed until now. 2 Death Guns, Laughing Coffin, SAO survivor, Sterben character name, terminal watching to get data, invisible coat, poisonous injection. I would think he's fooling me and read the Light Novel, but he already did the same ting for Madoka Magica. |

But then again, author is not building such incredibly good detective stories so... |
| That's creepy, a murderer is just standing in Sinon's room and staring at her... O_O |

| God they still haven't left that cave yet? |
"Hi!" |

I told him today: "Well, if I was you and would have just made an almost perfect Madoka Magica theory using Kamen Rider as source material, I would try and keep up my image by creating another perfect theory for the next interesting anime while actually reading the LN behind the back and therefore have 100% correct information". But then again, it kinda was the only possibility to kill without Nervegear. |

HikariJake said: Is it just me or did almost nothing happen in this episode? BatKirito, World's Greatest Detective, did work. |
| It's funny how Sinon spent about 95% of this episode draped all over Kirito! I'm surprised Kirito didn't pop a boner! lol. |

| Kirito better hope Asuna wasn't watching at that part which was broadcasted of him and Sinon. |
| Such a slow episode, but good enough to make me like it because there two Death Guns, and Sinon being attacked by some person in the real world. Asuna looked very pissed at the guy who made Kirito go into the danger zone again, even though Kirito needs to stop the guy. Seems the battle starts next episode. IDK why Kirito has to check out her butt though XD. |
| Personal episode review: Not just Kirito, also Yui knows everything about the Death Gun victims... Long live the artificial intelligence! Now the mistery is slowly getting revealed. I love this anime more and more, favourite forever <3 |
| "If the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." - Jimi Hendrix |
| "I, Kirito... have duct tape!" Great detective Kirito infodumping us with knowledge xD I quite like it, jokes aside 4,5/5 |
 |
| Can they stop being so god damn chummy? Who sits so close to someone and takes a nap on his lap so casually? Isn't he dedicated to Asuna? |

|
| Much more development but at the price of less action -.- .. I mean I don't mind the story in SAO.. but I like fighting in this series much more. |

| Sword Art Online, more like "More Butt Shots then Strike Witches" Online MIRIGHT?! But no seriously it was a good episode, I just kind of wish they hadn't had Shinon hanging off Kirito as much. Like sit up gurl damn. |
| Man that was terrible. The whole episode was characters talking and besides, how did Kirito suddenly figure out EVERYTHING about Death Gun. It doesn't make much sense, at least in the way it was presented. I mean sure, maybe he'd been thinking about it for a long time but it felt too artificial to me... |

Sinon crumbling into a whimpering heap, needing Kirito to save her. |
| Wow, 8 pages of what's supposed to be an episode discussion and all I've been reading is "ASS this or BUTT that." Was Sinon's butt all most seemed to have focused on this episode? Overall, I actually liked this episode and pacing for SAO2 so far is what was sorely needed in first season. Well done A1. |
| Well, that was a nice, slow episode with some interesting parts. I'll admit, I had no idea how Death Gun was killing people, I thought it was what Kirito thought at the beginning where you simulated a sensation that could create a heart attack, but I like his new theory more. Poor Sinon, great character development to me, and man I just love her~ |

| Damn that's scary as hell, if I were in Sinon's shoes I would freak the fuck out. |

Caleb8980 said: Takuan_Soho said: He was shot last episode. They didn't show it, but they did show the orange injury marker when he picked Shion up and got her out of the arena. The animation implied that DG had shot him, but that wasn't the case in the novel. Muskateer X was the one who shot him. You are right, but one small correction here ;-) When he tells Sinon about how he fought against Musketeer X and we see him victorious, he already presses his hand against his other, injured, arm heavily implying that he got shot in their fight ;-) If DG's shot would have hit, Kirito would be paralyzed and sure as hell couldn't drive a buggy ^^ ... DG has normal bullets too, u know? |
| Are you kidding me, yet another episode without a confrontation? Well, i guess i can't complain, we had to learn those things. I feel like the studio just put ass-shots to make up for that, which i don't like. I still can't believe Kirito figured it all out thanks to Sinon's butt and the lizard. Poor thing... it died in the end, relaying info to its last breath. The feels... 3/5. Necessary, but still slow. |

| I'm not one of these "SAO haters" and i'm really enjoying this new season but damn these last couple episodes... idk... it's like it's transitioning into the 2nd half of last season all over again. Everyone praising and depending on Kirito, forced melodrama, and Kirito all of a sudden becoming Elliot Ness and discovering Death Gun's whole operation all while sitting in a cave for the entire episode. Oh and new drinking game: Everytime we see Sinon's ass take a shot. Nice, quick way to get drunk in 22 minutes. |
| i think i would be easier to believe that the gun could actually kill ppl meh... too forced imo |
 |
| And, seriously, when Sinon outright asked Kirito whether he had a girlfriend, he was like: "Eh, um.. it's not like that". Avoiding the question at its best. Why did he do that, it seems like he's creating plan B or something (in his case - D). |

Yeah, she lives alone so knowing that there's a stranger standing next her who's waiting to kill her and knowing that she can't move or scream, that's really creepy as hell. If I was death gun who is standing next to her, I would do perverted thing to her until I take the orders to kill her. @_@ Playing said: I want Sinon in my harem. You don't even have a single one in your harem -_- I'm quite sure. Maledict said: Are you kidding me, yet another episode without a confrontation?

Well, I wouldn't mind if they waste all the fucking episode on Shinon's ass, that's more entertaining. |

| The absurdity that Kirito's revelation came after seeing Sinon's ass made that part the best moment of the episode right there. It was also nice that they finally explain how Death Gun is able to kill people in real life, although to me it's somewhat underwhelming of a method. It's just breaking & entering and murdering the players with a lethal injection at the right time. I was hoping for something like bullet-shooting-out-of-the-wall-socket sort of thing that Kirito imagined at first, or some other way of killing the players without being physically present, but I suppose the whole point of the equipment is to prevent that. Also that damn breast size chart being posted the day before the episode, I'm sure I'm not the only one who forgot about that while seeing the characters in ALO ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
