| The ending was intense. And another huge cliffhanger. |
| Kirito rushing to the save and deflects Death Gun's bullet |
| Another cliffhanger!!!! Damn what an amazing episode!!! Loved this episode it has to be one of the best this season. Can't wait to see how sinon is saved or if see is even saved at all!?! |
Reyxe said: Really, really good chapter. 5/5, even after reading the novels, i was mad with that cliffhanger, AGAIN. Also, Sinon could die, u know? she would be GGO's Sachi or something. hantere said: Gun gale is being broadcasted is weird I guess since there already in a game watching a game. Gameception. I don't know if it was answered before, but in some games you can watch videos, like Twitch and stuff. In fact, I believe that in Playstation Home you could watch the E3, so it wouldn't be that weird to someone set a tv, navigate through internet and watch the streaming of a game. In Garry's mod it was quiet common... |
| I really like this idea, that you can watch E-sports broadcasts from other games. |
| Very well placed cliffhanger. Gotta love it. I mean, there's no way Sinon is killed so soon in the series, but damn it get's you thinking. Kirito should stop touching SInon so much. Her gentle heart cannot take so much emotion. I wonder how she'll feel when she finds out he's married and has a teenage daughter. |

Takuan_Soho said: Well, first you are not sitting in front of a computer, you are basically in a catatonic state with the VR device on you. All you can do is think. Second, why would the designers think you would need it? In SAO it wasn't so much that they were blocked (they were, but it really didn't matter if they weren't), if they tried to force exit the game by any means (say by committing suicide, or someone disconnecting the gear) the device would kill them. This new VR gear was supposed to be perfectly harmless, there should not have been a way to make a virtual gun. Well even if you can only think that thing still works like a computer. By thinking you should be able to access some basic functionalities outside a game like an emergency exit in the case that a game freezes or is bugged, especially to reassure users after what happened in SAO. There is no system without bugs. So these functions should be available unless they are especially disabled for some "special" reason. Haven't played MMO's lately but from what I remember from World of Warcraft beside Alt+F4 you could give up in an Arena game at any time and leave immediately the Arena with the consequences of a loss. Similar mechanism would make sense in any online game for example when you have to leave due to time issues for example. Now that I think of it didn't Sinon even surrender/give up a few episodes back because Kirito wouldn't shoot her? |
| I really hope this is a turning point in the series. The first few eps i thought were great and promising. I knew Death Gun was going to be a major part of the story but i was glad they weren't oversaturating him. The last episodes have been so dull in that it's really trying to get you enticed in a situation that well just isn't. The pressure and scope that was in the original SAO (not alfheim) just isn't there and i wish they would just focus on the gun fights more than trying to get us to care so much on the "magnitude" of a guy carrying a killer gun in a game which even when reading the novel i felt was kind of silly. Hell i thought the best part this episode was when they took out that guy with the M16 and SAO music started playing in the backround, i want more of that and less talk about how scary death gun is. I get it. He's dangerous. Sorry if it sounds like i'm ranting i just really want this series to rise out of the ashes left by alfheim ughh |

Shuhan said: Benphyre said: lol anyone notice Kirito being very touchy lately? Yeah I noticed that too, all those shoulder touches. I thought I was the only one who felt so. Cheeky Kirito. Luckily those touches wasn't broadcast for Asuna. lol |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| Lol Kirito's skills were exaggerated but whatever, anything with light sabers is cool. Lots of action, and a cliff hanger. 5/5 |
 |
| Ahhhhh the suspense is killing us all |
 |
| Asuna logged out and Death Gun appears so Asuna is Death Gun XD |
| That gunshot will either be deflected by kirito, or that was kirito shooting death gun. Either way, sinon isn't dead. no way. |
| 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. |
| Good to see the guys from ALO enjoying the action in GGO although they've been deprived of watching Kirigod so far. Damn was expecting a 1v1 between Kirito and Death Gun right there on the bridge but I guess that was hoping for too much. Hopefully we get that next episode with Sinon's life being on the line and all. The declaration of "it's show time" just made me think Big O was gonna come busting through the ground ready to fight. Sinon is almost certainly not going to die here but still a tense and very interesting end to a great episode! |

WolfChaos said: Not even gonna lie, the plot twist got me. But I guess it should've been expected. Anyways, this was a great episode this week. I'm guessing next week is the finale (or close to the finale of the Death Gun Arc) and Kirito is gonna 1v1 Death Gun. Nope, I think there's... 3 or 4 more chapters left. |
| Oh my god that cliffhanger!!!! Really enjoying this now!! |
| These freaking cliffhangers!! Things just keep getting more intense every episode. I look forward to seeing whose shot that was when the screen went black. Not so sure if it was Death Gun's. |
Man, cliffhanger. sinon-chan ;_; |
| Kirito with a light saber, what a badass. Another cliffhanger.. Tendou-kun said: lol totally.Asuna logged out and Death Gun appears so Asuna is Death Gun XD |
 |
| Wow, what a cliffhanger. I still kinda get surprised that this whole arc occurs in the span of a week. |
| THE CLIFFHANGERS ARE REAL. WEEK AFTER WEEK. Driving me insane!!! That aside~ Wowowowowowowow Sinons in deep trouble. But i'm guessing either she pulled her gun fast enough or Kirito came to the rescue. I hope Sinon doesn't get shot. Also, Kirito's lightsaber skills were pretty impressive. Well not surprised since he did come from ALO. More Asuna, Yui and others screen time :D Hope that Sinon is saved by Kirito next episode :3 |

| Of course she won't die, the author would never kill off a harem number. Just think of the women in this series as Pokemon and you'll never be surprised. |

| "It's show time" *too much epicness* *faints* Tell me how am I supposed to not be a fanboy? Those action scenes are just too good, there's no way I wouldn't like these epic scenes. Kirito and his sword skills... KYAAAA~ NettoAzure said: Wow, what a cliffhanger. True. Excellent episode. |
| Kirito fights and acts like a Jedi. His playstyle in GGO remember me too often to StarWars, and it is not funny imo. |
| great episode sinon pls live |
| Nice swordplay from Kirito. Sinon gets paralzed. That cliffhanger. |

| That gunshot at the end was an awesome cliffhanger... it's awesome to see Kirito fend off bullets with his sword so easily. Sinon reaching for her gun at the very end made me laugh though, perfect excuse for a pantsu shot ;p |
 |
| Pfff it pretty much ended where the previous ep left off. Nothing happened.. Bring in some action. |
| Those Jedi skills!!! Kirito is amazing. xD And no!! I hope Sinon doesn't die.....why cliffhanger, why?! |
| Wow that cliffhanger scene, just why did it stop there :(. Ever since Death Gun appear, the episodes were pretty intense tbh. Although I think what lacks imo is not enough action, and so much reused flashbacks as of now. My god, Sinon is in danger, damn now I have to wait for another week. |
| Dammit Cliffhanger! Amazing episode. Poor Pale Rider, he was so cool. Oh my god that soundtrack when Kirito was slicing those bullets! It's back! |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| After theory crafting with a friend (Miyu-chi <3), we decided Kirito will probably shoot Shinon, killing her in the game before Death Gun can. Our reasoning is because if Death Gun finishes her, she'll disconnect and die in real life... but if Kirito does this Shinon will probably rage quit her relationship with Kirito, I'd imagine. |
|
| So they are going after guys called "GunnerX" and "Sterben", but assume nickname are obvious? OK, they are somewhat obvious in SAO, though both Kirito and Sinon aren't exactly prime examples. But just looking at the names of the posters here i don't think that holds true in real life. Sure, there are some here that i think that the username might be related to their real name, but many are nigh-impossible to have a direct (if at all) relation, and many are implausible. The more likely explanation for a name like "GunnerX" would be: Smeone who isn't into "overthinking" character names. He's playing a gunner, so he's taking "Gunner except it was already taken by someone who thinks alike. So he took GunnerX. Done. Could be the author of "Character creation in 5 seconds and less" or something like that. |
Mikaze said: In my opinion you are wrong, she will probably survive from the blood rush that is equal to an adrenaline injection thus preventing a heart attack. She is getting that blood rush from being scared of dying and that gun that is the same model she so fears because she killed someone with the same model. So she probably wont die but make Kirito freak out for sure xD.After theory crafting with a friend (Miyu-chi <3), we decided Kirito will probably shoot Shinon, killing her in the game before Death Gun can.

My reaction to the episode: NOOOOO that ending?!! WHat?! Now?! Come'on I need the next episode NOW, even though it's 4am xD. |

| I doubt Sinon will actually die. Kirito lightsaber skills was prettty awesome in this epide. Loving the whole mysterious tone surrounding death gun. I'm guessing he is neither Sterbern or gunner x and that probably helped worked on the game so he can just do pretty much whatever he wants including not having him on the map or the list. |

Awesome_G said: Wasn't there like a cloacking thing explained at the beginning of the episodes? I think it was, either way if Sinon survives we will find it out by seeing how surprised she is from the cloacking stuff.I doubt Sinon will actually die.

|
| Straight up guess but I think Kirito will kill Sinon before Death Gun does. That was what the gun-shot was at the end. Or maybe not even Kirito but someone else. |
| Nop. |
| i have a theory: in the next SAO online game Kiritos wife Asuna gave birth to a ugly child named Yoda and Death Gun reappears as the first dark Sith lord. this online games name is of course „star wars online“ and some years later some guys called Obi Wan or Luke Skywalker doesnt know any more they are SAO online game characters, because the simulation is so real. and many many years later a descendent of the Kirito-line with improved awesome anti gun skills called Neo will free them from this online game. may i put this into spoiler tags? |
