So you are basically telling me that the Big Bad of this arc is someone that will do everything he can to lose just because he is crazy/idiot.

Probably it's the only way they could prosecute with the plot, since every normal person, once that will find out that Kirito is there to save Asuna, would just ban him forever


No, that isn't what I said, but hey you keep on defining it to suit your small little world.

As for banning Kirito. Why on god's earth would he even care? Kirito is no one in his world. A pathetic little gaming grub who thinks he married Asuna in some other game. Sugou is a successful business executive, leading a multi-million dollar project that he believes will give him infinite power over the minds of the gamers. In the real world, Kirito would be less of a threat than a cockroach. Only someone who can't distinguish between fantasy and reality would think otherwise.


Maybe I'm the wrong one, but I can't really enjoy the victory of the protagonist when he could have lose a million time but he didn't just because the evil guy let him do everything he need to win.

He is a sadist. I can't find any best way to crash Kirito's hopes than go right in front of him e ban him forever right in that moment, in a way that the only think he could ever do is crying and knowing that I'm going to marry his comatose wife.


He doesn't know about Kirito being in the game. Why do you assume that?

Maybe it's just me, but I have found the fact itself that Asuna was able to escape from the cage idiotic.
I mean, Oberon really needed a system so stupid to take her caged like a password? Couldn't he just write the code of the game in a way like: "Asuna can't go anyway but inside the cage"?
Suguha has said that there are areas where the characters can't enter. Couldn't Oberon make all that area (but the inside of the cage) off-limit for every non-admin character?


Because he didn't think it would matter. Is this the first time that a fictional/real character hasn't made the absolutely best choice in a situation?


So the only possible conclusion is that the Big Bad is not only crazy, but also stupid. Perfect


He has no reason to assume it would matter. And like I said, if the villain always handled everything perfectly from an outside observer's point of view, the "hero" would never win.


There are many cases where a villain does everything he can to win, but still loses, for the simple reason that the main characters shows himself to be (or have become) better. Just to give an example, Kenshiro doesn't win because his enemy chooses not to fight at his best, but because Kenshiro is a better fighter

Obviously I'm not saying that he should ban him right now. As you said Oberon doesn't even now that he is there. But a suppose that by the and of the series Kirito e Oberon fight each other, as happened in the 14th episode. In that right moment he could ban him

Some people are just sick, that all that needs to be said, but I guess dat tentacle action was a pleasure for some people here on MAL.

As far as the episode goes I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to see Kirito kick that pedophile's ass I just cant take anymore of that dumbass.

We are not talking about him actually fucking up. Given his knowledge, it was completely irrelevant in which way he locked Asuna, since she couldn't escape either way.

How about you wait for that moment to happen and then judge it.
I mean, maybe he will even ban him, yet you complain that he doesn't do it when we are not even close to this episode.

Kinda sad that they removed Tonkii's part, it was one of my favourite parts of this Arc, plus what they'd find at the end of it.

Also, they prolongued the Tentacle part for way too long, it's not as bad in the LN...

A-1 have their priorities set. Why include an awesome endgame dungeon with cool monsters and fights when you could just add a little more fanservice and tentacles.

You are so desperate? Fine,

cause I want to talk about the monster.

It's ugly and looks shitty.

I would love to fireball the shit or ice cube it! I would cook later and eat it if you can in the game ROFL. Tentacle food?

Yeah I find the monster design really bad as in could be nastier and better looking.

What are you guys complaining about? The whole point of showing fan service in the anime is to make the novels sell (or interested in the novel) aside from the obvious of making some more money (anime). Will it translate to additional sells of the novel? Who knows.

Oberon has admin rights, but it was never stated that he was a programmer. He's probably not that trained with quality of security. He might have trusted the system's security too much and didn't notice possible bugs such as Asuna being able to see him typing the password (I believe it was shown before that Asuna couldn't see his hand typing the password because it was censored). But bugs really happen, Kirito's stats and items from SAO being still there is proof of that and taking advantage of the opponent's flaws is also considered "outwitting" him.

Banning him or not, Oberon has admin rights. Unlike Heathcliff who was fair enough to fight Kirito without his invincibility, Oberon can play with Kirito as much as wants.

Because it's fictional and just is not shown as 18 and over stuff.


So (for example) implied fictional rape is excellent then because it's not full blown out hentai.

I'm done.


Of course, you're done. Because you're wrong, this is just a fiction, don't be like those SAO characters that can't make the difference between the reality and a game/fiction.
It's not because that I like seeing an animated fight that I would like to see some people fight IRL or that I would like to beat the crap out of someone, so why do you think it would be different for Yumekichi11. What to think of all those kids playing GTA and killing people just for fun? As long as someone can make the difference between fiction and reality, he is free to like what he wants.

Why didn't Asuna wait for Blobby and friend to leave before trying to sign off? Seemed like a pretty unnecessary risk.

I'm starting to miss Sugou. I've got so many pent-up "generic villain" quips just dying to come out.

Edit: Also, I've been curious about this for a while. I've heard that the novel had a first-person narrative, so how does the novel handle the parts like Asuna's escape? Switching perspective?
