Not at all. The most Yuuki interacts with Kirito is their fight and her appreciation for him
In no way is she remotely in his harem. It should've been pretty obvious looking at the new ending theme.

Sorry but it's not bait. Like the LIGHT NOVEL is srsly better than the anime. GGO wasn't supposed to feel that casual or subtle but it did; not enough suspense and a lot of scenes were poorly animated. However, the way they started off this new arc, "Mother's Rosario", is actually pretty good. And if you do pull through to watching all of it, you'll end up seeing why. If "bait" means how the light novel was written, then I'm pretty sure there wouldnt be a huge community for the light novel right now, but there is. And we're fairly criticizing it. Just be sure to watch all of Mother's Rosario aka the last chance sao 2 really has of redeeming itself. Just a notice for the anime watchers, but these are NOT fillers. They are SIDE STORIES. SUB-PLOTS K. BTW KIRITO GETS NO ADDITIONAL GIRL. THIS ARC IS ASUNA FOCUSED. YAY.

The episode was pretty good. Another Swordland + Boss Fight Scene = Epicness albeit it was short.
Finally got to see Asuna's Sylph account Erika.

Great ED, LiSa's finally back.

I doubt she'll be added to the harem. Wonder why Sinon did not appear in this episode? Its because Asuna kicked her out. Eliminating the competition. Asuna doesn't consider the other chicks competition like she did with Sinon
More like she isn't part of the SAO Survivor School so she doesn't need to do homework with them. Leafa is there of course because Kirito is.

Speaking of competition, in the non-canon work,

Good episode. The Mother Rosario arc begins.
Nice to see that Asuna and Kirito got their log cabin again.
This Zekkan person seems really strong.
Looking forward to Asuna fighting Zekkan.
The new ED song is not bad.

Wait, wait... Kirito lost? As in did not win? In a swordfight? With swords? Kirigaya Kazuto? Well, not so OP now, is he?

The episode was OK. Kirito and Asuna are a very cute couple, i'm glad the heroine isn't one to express her feelings in a weird and annoying way, like beating her bf and/or acting all high and mighty.

The rest wasn't really that interesting, but i guess this is just a setup episode. I kind of want to know what happened to the last Laughing Coffin member more than what's currently airing, but whatever.

3/5. Shouldn't have watched the ending...

Didn't know Asuna had an alternate account. It looked pretty cool. Also; Kirito practically admitted that Zekken is faster than him because he said he wouldn't have gotten the dual wield skill if they were in SAO.

Oh, and they're being al myserious about Zekken only for the ED to totally spoil their identity, wtf. xD

by this ending song i almost sure all the arc will be focused on her


But will she be badass?

Yes!!! She is always badass.

Reyxe said:

She won a duel against Kirito, if he doesn't use Dual Blades, then Yuuki is the strongest in ALO.


Asuna is technically stronger than Kirito at duels, she is just way faster.
Not sure if Yuuki would be able to keep with him if he had used both swords, but the answer is probably yes...

And for who asked, yes, this arc is focused on Asuna as much as Phantom Bullet was focused on Kirito. Do not expect to see him much.

Was it only to me that the art seemed a bit... different?
Seriously look at the beginning at Agils bar.

That aside, it was a good episode, they played a bit with "flashbacks" and stuff, but it was good to see a little fight (and the great battle ost of the first season), and that moment with the cabin was good, and we got information about Asuna probably being on an arranged engagement and that Zekken "guy" (seriously they already spoiled with the OP/ED and the art they revealed earlier, why make "him" look like that?).

Also, some Agil background, that was good.

The new ED was great.

Yay! I finally get to see and hear Andrew Gilbert Mills again since the first season!

This leaves us with 6 more episodes for the Mother's Rosario arc. Will that be enough? I don't know. I've not read that far in the LN yet.

Lol, someone that actually remembers Agil's real name. It should be enough, MR is a single Volume story in the LN and A1 have generally been using 6-8 episodes to cover each volume.

A very good start, the first half of the ep was all new and not in the LN but actually added some very good information regarding Agil. Boss battle was dull, both that rock thing and Thrym from the last episode seemed to be about as mobile as mountain, I hope the future battles are done better than that.

Sets up Asuna and how her life is at the moment very nicely. For those complaining it's boring, this is not an action story arc, it's going to be based around New Aincrad and the real world and will deal with some serious issues.

that's because the mysterious zekken is from Asuna POV. Later it'll make sense

SAO is usually a ton of fun but I can understand how some people might get bored of the entire episode consisting of flashbacks and the harem's exposition of the new arc's story. I really like some of the lines they said at the end though, like how Kirito probably won't fight for real again unless they're in actual danger.

Totally agree with a lot of the lines. Shows that he knows the difference between VR and reality in a sense. Also shows he is not the OP character everyone thinks he is unless he needs to be lol.

I'm a little disappointed there's no action, but I guess it's a nice break.

I absolutely love the new music, haha.

It seems like there'll be a new character, that purple-haired girl. It would make sense if she were Zekken (I guess I could just look it up, but, eh... I don't care that much.)

Ah, an arc about Asuna. That's nice. She gets a new close friend! ('Cause Kirito has way too many)

Can't wait.

Nice to see less harem material and more Kirito x Asuna.

There are no brakes on the feels train and you are laying on the tracks!
The ED almost gives a lot away... They prob should have waited another episode, and showed a bit of the Kirito/ Zekken fight...
But im excited for this arc, I never finished it in the LN, so this is going to be partly new territory for me.

In the interest of full disclosure there is a bit about Asuna and Kirito's relationship, but Reyxe is still correct.

If animated correctly, you won't mind the parts about their relationship.
